Troy awoke at nightfall, ready for a whole new "day", so to speak. He has slept in a fairly large shed behind one of the clubs. They might own the shed, but they never use it, so why not put it to good use. He gets up, and throws his clothes on, they were washed the day before, so they aren't that dirty. Troy asks around for quarters so he can wash the two sets of clothes he isn't wearing. He heads to the library, hoping to brush up on some more myths, and legends having to deal with vampires. He enters the library with an almost joyous look to his face. He sighs, "Tonight I think I will brush up on classical vampires. I do, I do." he says to himself. He heads towards the fictional section of the library, the normal section he is always in. Troy looks up and down the isle, and finds "The Big Book of Monsters". He slides the book off the shelf, and says, "This should do just fine...". He heads over to a table near the checkout counter, and sits down and begins reading. During Troy's reading, he overhears a conversation taking place between a couple of the late-night librarians. "He comes in here every night almost, and he reads the strangest books. I mean, look at the one he's reading now. It's a huge book on monsters, I mean, who reads that kind of stuff. Then, look at his skin, it's so...pale. I don't think he gets much sunlight." After hearing this, he just chuckles a little bit and says underhis breathe, "You have no idea..." Then he casually continues reading his book.

Alyssa peeked through the shelves, a child-like curiousity veiled her face. A vampire in a Library ... that was rare. Of course she was in there so she couldn't really blame him. She had overheard the ever so sheltered librarians talking and it peeked her attention. Kris was somewhere looking around in the place, she didn't know why they had come but it proved to be somewhat fruitful. Her form pressed lightly on the shelves, she didn't notice at all that the book shelf was starting to lean. Then WHOOSH ... BAM. Alyssa froze. The stupid thing had fallen ... damn it. The librarians were looking, even worse .... scowling. More work for them.

The shelves was some distanct from where Troy sat so luckily it didn't fall on him do to Alyssa's charming clumsiness. She smiled sweetly, somewhat embarassed.

In the midst of reading about the lochness monster, Troy suddenly, without any concious movement jumps up and looks around to find that what had startled him was a bookshelf that had fallen not toot far from him. He saw a stunningly beautiful young women, with the most innocent face he had ever seen. She just smiled at the librarians and turned around, apparently embarrased, and headed toward the back of the library. Troy closed his book, and made it seem like he was going to return his book to the shelf from which it came, but he was actually following the beautiful young lady, to get a better view of her. He saw her turn the corner, around a bookshelf, and he did the same, but in the row just before the one she turned in, and he tripped on a person crouched down for a book.

Alyssa stumbled slightly, swerving around the person crouched, her attention being on other things but suddenly heard a soft thud. She turned and covered her mouth to stop from giggling. 'I guess I don't feel too bad now.' She extended a hand to help him up. 'I don't suppose you saw me dump that shelf over did you?'

She figured he did since he followed her, oh well, she would be embarassed about it later. Her eyes wandered to the person they had both stumbled over and she smiled. 'sorry.'

Troy reaches his hand out and grabs hers to get up. "Thank you" he says while straightening his shirt. He then turns around the the person that he tripped over, and says "I'm sorry...I guess." He then turns his attention towards the young lady. "I'm sorry, I was just....I mean....Well....Nevermind." he shakes his head a bit and extends his hand. "Hi, my name is Troy, and you are...."

She smiled as he shook her hand, noticing that it had been a long while since someone actually had. 'It's alright ... I nearly smushed you with the shelf ... anything after that I will without hesitance think alright.'

Her eyes looked to the person who had gone back to their book searching, doomed to be stumbled over once more. The thought was laughable. The blue gaze quickly returned to him and a smile lit her features once more. 'I'm Liv ...' it was her nickname but it was the name she gave everyone. Only one person knew her real name. 'It's been an interesting meeting so far.'

A smile streaked across his face. "For a second there I thought you were going to shoo me away." He lifts his hands up to a little past waist high, and says "Considering we are in a library, what kind of books do you like to read?" he reaches up and pulls down a book. "cooking for idiots maybe?" he then places the book back where it came from, and awaits a response.

Alyssa shook her head, 'I didn't come here to read ... I'm actually with someone ... I came with him.' She looked around. 'I guess he's doing research ...' She smiled a shrugged. 'Personally I like horror. History is fasinating and all ... but alittle bit of blood helps.'

She rose a hand and tilted his head slightly, it was a bold move for a first meeting but she wanted to be sure he was vampire before she hinted to it any more. 'May I ask what you kind you like to read?'

Not acnoledging her actions at all. "I like to read about urban myths...or so they say. You know, werewolves, el chubacabra, vampires....." he gives here a look as if to ask her if she was one or not, and hopefully he was assuming right. "I also enjoy a good book with bloodshed" He glances at her neck to see if she had the markings of the like that he does.

She showed him her marks without so much as a word and nodded. 'Good to see Me and Kris aren't the only ones who come here.' She smiled and looked around. 'Legends hmmm ...' her mind raced and she looked up at him. 'If it's not too much to ask ... why legends? Especially about monsters.' Her gaze wandered to the little person still crouched and the urge to kick him away was flooding in. Damn it she wanted to talk about her own kind without rick of exposure. She pulled her coat around her and bit into her lip, her fangs had been drawn and it showed slightly.

"Would you like to go outside to talk, I mean a bit of fresh air would be good" He gestures toward the door. He begins to walk outside. Troy pulls his coat around his body, and slips his arms through the sleeves with debonair. "I hope you will join me!" he says to her as he is exiting the library.

Kris was busy reading up on the art of warfare, Roman Era, he wanted to know as much as possible about tatics incase he ever met a Roman vampire. Heck he had met plenty of others and hence he studued there combat ways. He looked up as he heard a shelve fall. He closed the book, got up and returned it to the shelf, just cause he all he could see was red, didn't mean he couldn't read.

He walked back over to the chair and picked up his coat. He slid into it, turned the collar up and replaced his knifes to their compartments. Not knowing where Alyssa was, he went deep inside and felt her, ahhh there she was and what was this... another?

He could feel no threat comming from the other one but still he was not going to be caught unaware, again, he walked quickly, yet not that cquick as to draw attention to himself. The fact he was wearing no shirt, had long silver hair and a few battle scars across his chest did that for him. He rounded the corner and spied the two of them.

He walked down, came up behind Alyssa, slipped a hand around her waist and kissed her on the neck:

"Hmm delicious. And who have we here? A late time reader perhaps? Or maybe... something a little more...Vampire..."

(sorry Nac but you missed him leaving)

Alyssa followed and looked up as Kris joined them. She smiled. 'Where have you been?' Her gaze flicked back to Troy and her smile broadened. 'This is Kris ... Kris this is Troy.' She pulled her fur lined coat around her as the wind picked up. 'It's not often you would find ones such as ourselves in a library ...' She had kept the word vampire out of the sentence as she watched a few mortals walk by. Exposure was one of her few fears.

Troy holds his hand out, "Nice to meet you Kris..." After shaking his hand Troy checked for mortals. "So how long have you both been...?" He just waited for one of them to reply.

"How long have we been...."

There was two possible, at the moment awnsers to this , together, most unlikely or dead, vampires, most likely:

"Oh around a good 900 years. Used to live in London myself, then I moved out here. Liv here...."

He waited for her to say as it was not his place, well yet.

Alyssa smiled as she completed what Kris had started. 'I'm about 50 something years old ... I'm not sure the exact number. And how long have you had the dark gift.' Her thoughts lingered on the last word. Gift? Like hell it was, curse summed up the horror it carried. Though she had to admit it only felt like such when she was alone in the dark ...

She looked around. As much as she liked the clear night sky and the fond company it was rather cold. It was bad enough her skin was all the time. She wanted warmth. 'Perhaps we should find somewhere to sit and talk other than out here.'
