Owner	Pose
Faith Lehane	It's another lazy Saturday evening that finds Faith strolling through the cemetery, although she is certainly not here by accident. She is not particularly on point patrol however, and is just hanging out and getting drunk.. No job, low on funds, and mist of the scoobies seem busy doing their own thing. So here she is, sitting on a random bench, people watching and getting drunk, listening to music. As the night gets darker, fewer people are coming out, which doesn't bother her so much..Not like there anything she hasn't encountered before..
Dracula	A mist rolls over the graveyard before it coalesces in one spot and then grows into the shape of a man. The features are slightly off, the skin tone a little greyer than a normal person but then given the arrival it's pretty obvious this is no ordinary man. "So.... all your friends decided to abandon you?" he asks curiously, "Such a shame, but then I have been observing you for a while.. You don't really fit in with those Goody Two Shoes, you are a free thinker who does things their own way and they just can't handle that... sounds like you need people who appreciate your abilities," he adds, a soft smile playing on his lips.
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane is singing loudly to music by this time, getting pretty drunk in her own little world. If she were a normal girl she would probably be oblivious to the ominous mist rolling in, followed by that creepy voice.. Fortunately for her, she's got a keen slayer sense and instincts that even in her drunken state are hard to ignore. She leaps to her feet, ripping off her headphones as she sees must rolling in. "Oh great..What the hell is it this time?" Then she hears his voice and smirks. "Who the hell are you, and what makes you think you know anything about my life, freak? Oh let me guess, another random vampire out to make a name for himself? If you have any idea who I am, you'd better run away while you still can." she seems more amused and slightly annoyed more than scared or upset by his words.
Dracula	"Oh, I already have a name for myself," says Dracula and smirks, "You may have heard of it, or maybe seen some of the movies of me. I personally am a fan of the Bela Lugosi ones, though I did like the Luke Evans approach to the backstory," he says and bows his head slightly though never take his eyes off a slayer. "Most know me as Dracula" Straightening up, he chuckles a little, "So, Slayer, I am not here to make a name for myself. Instead.. well, let's just say that neither of us really play well with others from what I have seen of you, Faith. But if you'ld rather stay playing backup when you know that you can be the leader, I'll happily let you go back to your wallowing in the bottle and hope you find some answers there."
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane arches a suspicious brow, normally she might brush him off as a joke..But afterall, didn't Buffy herself meet Dracula? And he was nothing to trifle with. "So, you're the same one that enthralled Buffy huh?" she smirks. "Oh, and I'm you wouldn't have any alter ior motives, like feeding on my delicious slayer blood or mind controlling me to do your bidding?" Still, something he says makes her hesitate..Normally she'd be pulling out weapons and going directly for the jugular, but instead she hesitates, folding her arms loosely. "So...Why are you here? Gonna make me an offer or what?"
Dracula	"Sure, I can have you look into my eyes and obey me," Dracula offers and smiles, the fangs glinting in the moonlight, "Or the whole idea of blood drinking, but well.. I think that's more a second date thing with you girls these days." A chuckle at that, Dracula tilts his head to the side, his eyes glowing lightly red as he speaks, "Yes, I will make you an offer, an offer of power, of freedom, of being able to embrace your inner self. I could hypnotize you for sure, but you are strong of will and it wouldn't hold for long, as has been demonstrated with that blonde bimbo of a Slayer after all. Besides..." He pauses and smiles, considering, "I like the idea of a motivated employee who likes doing things for the thrill of it, and the money and power probably doesn't hurt either," he adds and laughs. He glances around and smirks, "Instead of a servant, what about a Lieutenant? A problem solver to eliminate problems in my way through whatever means you decide to use."
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane laughs, shaking her head. "I don't do dates, I just take what I want and move on, know what I'm saying?" but he may be right, in some twisted way, she does share quite a bit with Dracula. "Wow, the prince of vampires is offering me, the dark slayer, a job? Why the heck would I work for my sworn enemy? What's in it for me? Give me one reason why I shouldn't just slay you right now, like Buffy should have done years ago."
Dracula	"Oh, Buffy tried, multiple times, but unlike in the movies, I am not so easy to slay. I mean, she staked me twice, but that was it," Dracula says, patting his chest, "And I am still here." Dracula turns his hands palms up, to show that he is unarmed and empty handed, though that means nothing for a creature like him. "Why should you work for me? An expense account for you to use as you see fit in perfomance of your duties... Sure, it ma start off small, say... a thousand dollars a month limit, but perform well and we can add many more zeros to that than those zeros in your so called Scooby Gang," he offers, "Does that sound like something that makes this a bit more attractive?"
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane is listening and not fighting, still relaxed as she watches him thoughtfully. He makes several valid points. There's a reason why he is legendary afterall, and a reason why even Buffy was first enthralled by him and then unable to slay him, even though she did indeed try multiple times from what she has heard.. Even with the M-scythe now in her possession, would she stand a chance against him..? She nods slowly, thoughtfully, taking a cautious step towards him, dark eyes glinting at the $1,000 starting salary, a greedy, desperate look in her eyes. Scrounging for scraps, jumping from one minimum wage job to another is tiring and fruitless..Plus, she could use this opportunity to spy in him.. "And..What work exactly, would I be doing? Because I ain't no grave digger, and I sure as hell ain't scoutin' out potential meals for you.."
Dracula	Dracula lets out a soft chuckle to that, nodding a little more as she steps forward, still just standing there, hands folded over to palm up, supplicant position. His nead is slightly bowed as well, watching her curiously as she does stand closer. Then the question of her duties. "Well, for right now, nothing. I don't know if you play Chess, but the Pawns are expendable, those are the ones who I would just have look into my eyes and go to some basic tasks for me. You, you are much more than that. You are to be called in when there is real action, real issues, something that I need an expert in... well, asskicking seems to be the term of this generation," he says and laughs, "You do like to fight, now don't you?"
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane grins, slamming her palms together. "Hell yea! I'm pretty much built for fightin' an' I don't have stupid laws or scruples like miss goody goody B to get in my way.." Well..For the most part..But a few people have had positive influence on her. Her smile slips just a bit. "So what, you need a bouncer? I mean, what kinda people would I be fighting? You know I ain't got not bone to pick with the Scoobies.." of course her only true, trusted allies aren't even scoobies, just scooby adjacent..
Dracula	"Oh, for right now, this is the early game, the colsolidation of power, getting the key pieces into place," Dracula offers and smiles, "The reason that I have managed to mostly go unnoticed in this modern world is because of the fact that I don't make a specatacle of myself like so many of the vampires of today, acting like they're..." he pauses and strokes his chin, "Let's see if I get the parlance right... " he pauses again, "Acting like a bunch of frat boys on Spring Break in Florida?" He trails off that statement into more of a question, showing that he's understandfing somewhat of mortal culture but its beneath him enough as is trying for mortals to understand the behavior of the fleas on their animals. "So right now you wouldn't be fighting anyone... Though if you want to be a thorn in the side of the Slayer, so much the better as even minor annoyances can help put her off her game somewhat. But for now, it's mostly just getting yourself settled and then when something does come up that needs handling of someone of your calibre, I'll send word to you of who and where. You will have carte blanche to do as you will in most cases. There may be the occasional sending a message instead of leaving a body, but... you're not a mailwoman, you're an extension of my swordarm."
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane smirks and nods, brimming with amusement. "Sounds about right, a bunch of brainless pawns that only know how to do one thing..But I'm always for for a bigger challenge if you know what I mean, an' showing up precious lip' B is always fun.." She grins, an almost wicked grin at that. "Of course that vampire cult that's been causing trouble with those glyphs in Darlington park seem smarter than the rest.." she frowns thoughtfully, "They ain't exactly being subtle either.."
Dracula	Dracula Grins a little and nods, considering as he looks over Faith's figure and nods. "Well, one thing I'll say about you and Buffy," he adds, "You definitely cut a much better figure than she does... And I am partial to the color black," He adds with a chuckle. "A cult with glyphs and a purpose beyong devouring as many bodies is always an interesting time, maybe something there worth looking into, see what their game is," he agrees.
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane certainly likes flattery, especially when it's comparing her to Buffy as the superior Slayer. "Well Ill say one thing..At least you got better taste than some people I know.." she rolls her eyes, flexing her hands and shrugging out a kink in her neck. She sure likes the goth style and is not shy about showing off her body. Tonight, despite the cool wind blowing she is wearing a short black crop top that shows off most her trim stomach, paired with tight red leather pants. Only shirt fingerless black gloves cover her hands, showing off her toned arms. "Of course, if you play your cards right maybe you'll get to do more than just admire my sexy BoD from afar." she grins and winks wickedly. As for the vampire cult she just shrugs and rolls her shoulders, popping open another beer. "Oh yeah, they've been causing us trouble for a while, activated some weird ass magic circle shit or something in the park.." she frowns, trying to think. "Oh yeah, I guess they were using glyphs to open portals or something..I ain't exactly caught up on crazy geeky magic lingo.."
Dracula	Dracula nods a little as she comments, "Well, they say many gues prefer blondes, especially out in California where many are bubble headed and..." he says, glancing at Faith's chest and miming heaving beasts shape with his hands, "And it likely doesn't hurt her being a Cheerleader. " Shaking his head and smiles, "I never really liked the vapid really much liked those type. It's like drinking a cheap wine, sure it will get you drunk, but there's no... depth, there's no... robustness to it. It's those fast food burgers that look all great in those advertisements and then you get one and it's barely anything to it." He shakes his head to the thought some more, apparently Drac watches some TV on the nights he stays in. "I will have to investigate this cult, as it sounds like might be an interesting collection of pawns."
Faith Lehane	Faith Lehane laughs, "Yeah tell me about it. People see her pretty blonde face and her spoiled brat attitude, acting like she's so precious and they're all head over heels in love with her. Me? I ain't no fake pretty package, I ain't been Molly coddled like her. I'm gritty sure but what you see is what you get." As for those cultists, the idea of using them for pawns causes her to snort. "They're given us enough trouble as it us, no need to add you into the mix, especially given they'd probably make things harder for you by summoning some hell demon that they all worship. That'd be some major competition for the Lord of vampires don't ya think?" she smirks, trying to figure out his angle perhaps.
Dracula	Dracula smiles a little more and nods, considering and nods. "Do so like the idea of honesty and upfront-ness of your attitude," he says, "It's not too many people that I can just... talk with without being afraid that I'm going to go for their neck or something else," he replies and laughs. "A hell demon, I met a few of those," he agrees and nods, "That could make things a little more troublesome.... Anyway, I shall deliver your account details tomorrow so you can get started with whatever you wish to do with it."
