{ Vampires }
They live forever, and several depicted vampires are hundreds of years of age or older. They also mate for life. Their diet is based strictly on blood, and while human blood is preferred, they can survive by ingesting the blood of other animals (although some cannot tolerate it). Vampires must keep their victims alive or their blood becomes toxic to them. Vampires can only be killed by beheading, where they leave behind a corpse that can be examined to find their vampire teeth. Vampires are organized into nests, with eight to ten vampires residing in each, with a mate for life. The younger members of the nest typically do the hunting for their elders, bringing back humans to be fed upon for days, weeks or even for life. Vampirism is spread by the ingestion of vampire blood or by its direct introduction to the human blood stream.
{ Humans }
Humans are mortal beings that populate the planet Earth. These humans inhabit almost every corner of the world but we are focused on the humans that take residence in Seattle, Washington. These people live normal lives. Some have families and some are struggling with relationships. Some have well paying jobs and some may be merely scraping by. They are mortal though and can die by normal basis such as sickness.

{ Reservations }
Please reserve characters in the OOC. I won't accept a random submission, no matter how awesome they are. Also, this is not a first come, first serve role-play and you might have to compete for your spot should another person show interest. If you find this tedious and unnecessary, you are free to leave this role-play at any time. And, although you reserve a character, they will be chosen based on creativity, depth, length, and originality. The more creative and detailed your character sheet, the more likely you'll get accepted.
{ Literacy }
Not only will I be looking for details in your character sheet, but proper grammar and spelling as well. This role-play is to be literate, meaning posts are to be kept at a minimum of 100+ words.. Now, I know we are not perfect and we all make mistakes but if you cannot use a proper spell check, it will reflect within your character sheet! So please, be at least semi-literate with the capability to post at minimum one hundred words. What is your favorite TV show? What is your favorite book? Please answer these questions to reserve.
{ Commitment }
I am aware that we all have lives outside of role-playing and our computer screens. Some of us either attend school or have a full-time job, sometimes both. All I ask is that you post at least twice a week. If, for any reason, you find yourself unable to post for x-amount of time, please notify me. I do not bite, I do not get angry, however; should you fail to notify me of your departure, I will boot you out of the role-play. I am also aware that some of us may be in other role-plays, and I understand those come first. Notification of departure and how much time you'll be gone is all I ask for.
{ God-modding, Bunnying, Meta-gaming }
God-modding, bunnying, and meta-gaming are strictly prohibited. God-modding is defined as cheating the system so your character is virtually invincible. This is similar to the term "mary-sue" or "gary-sue" in a way. God-modding usually involves a character leaving a battle unscathed. This also includes unapproved hits and/or kills. Bunnying is the use of another character, who is neither your own nor an NPC, without the permission of the character's owner. When your character is attacking, assume each hit misses. When your character is defending, make sure to allow a believable amount of punches/kicks/etc. to hit your character. The term meta-gaming refers to accidentally or purposely using outside knowledge that affects the role-play. For example, if your character knows of a sneak-attack, yet wasn't present at the discussion of it, then it is improbable and considered meta-gaming.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 9 authors
Alaric paused at Rebekah's question, hand poised over the tray of cash he was just about to get the change from for his current customer. He didn't respond for a moment, his eyes slightly faraway.
It wasn't the first time he was asked this question and more than likely, it would not be the last. And it wasn't like it was too difficult of a question. He cared for Chantal - perhaps, in some way, he might be able to fancy himself loving her. Maybe not in love with her, but love was...a delicate enough term to be used when describing that relationship. But more importantly...
"My relationship with Chantal is as it is - between the two of us, no offense," he said as politely as he could as he finished ringing up the customer, offering a pleasant smile to the departing male. Blue eyes found Rebekah's and softened. "But I do not...favor that editor. He...his presence is irritating."
He could have been an asshole. He could have been rude; his norm. But...this was also Rebekah - a sweet girl, someone he cared for as well. Maybe not on the same level of strong concern and overprotectiveness as Chantal, but then again that was because a girl like Rebekah could take care of herself. Chantal never would be able to.
As he awaited Chantal's return with the fruit for smoothies (she would be making the smoothies, no doubt), two new people entered. One in particular capturing his attention solely. Pale skin and dark hair, she wasn't like the other. There was no heartbeat. Her eyes were fixed on Alaric just as his were on her; she was dangerous.
There were not many vampires in Seattle. Alaric prided himself on knowing a good number of them; perhaps not all, but a good few. And she was not a familiar face. And unless -
He did not trust her.
And he only hoped Chantal would take her time.
"No problem," Chantal called over her shoulder and hurried into the back storage room. Well, it was a kitchen and then a door to get into the storage, but whatever. Chantal filed through all of the ingredients they might not have out front and hurried to find them.
Damon complained all the time that she spent too much time here - that she really didn't need this job. With income still coming from her book sales and from the new TV series that would be premiering this year, she and her nice apartment were fine. It wasn't like she splurged often; in fact, she spent more on family than anything else. He would rather her working on a new book while continuing her studies.
What he didn't understand was that she felt at peace her. This was where she spent hours working on her book, where she saw people and used them as the faces of her characters - their temperaments became a part of her characters. She couldn't not be here. Though, she was beginning to think that his dislike of this place had more to do with his dislike for Alaric, which was puzzling but obviously none of her business.
"Aha!" Chantal let out an exclamation of triumph, holding up the frozen peaches. Thinking quickly, she grabbed some cream, milk, frozen strawberries, and the peaches. As quickly as she could she made her way back out to the front and grinned at Rebekah, who was standing close to the register. "Found them! One peach smoothie coming right up. You want whipped cream?"
And then Chantal noted the tension. Well, there was enough tension for her to notice above the chattering customers sitting in seats and the ones still waiting for their orders to be ready. She smiled at one of the workers awkwardly, curious as to why Alaric was practically glaring holes into the brunette female and the male with green eyes. A very cute guy - Okay, time to get started, she told herself mentally and got right to business, brushing past Alaric to get to the register. She tossed him a curious stare over her shoulder.
"Sorry about the wait," she said kindly, a sweet smile on her face towards the brunette female and the male standing behind her. "I'm Chantal and I can take your order."
It had only been a two hours since the sun had come up, but Jordan was already hard at work; well, if you call bench pressing, crunches, weight lifting, and a five mile jog, work, then yes. Jordan sat up after he was done with the bench pressing and looked out the window of his living room of the small apartment that he was living in. Jordan sighed to himself and walked into his bed room to get changed into some actual clothes and go to the little caffe' that was only a few blocks from where he lived.
He quickly put on his outfit and his combat boots and grabbed his smart phone and walked out the door. He quickly jogged and down to the caffe and walked in. It was pretty packed this morning, and thankfully he recognized a few friendly faces. He saw one of his friends that he would see on occasion, Chantal to be exact, she was taking someone's order as usual. He walked over to the caffe's bar and sat down on one of the swival chairs and sat down. He looked to his left and saw Rebekah. He smiled and said, '' Hey, Rabekah. How're you this fine morning? Catch any good waves that are worth mentioning?'' He smiled and looked around the caffe' and waited to place his order.
"That's cool," Keela said. "I'll leave you to your company," she said with a smile, noticing the small group all taking to Rebekah. She backed away slowly, letting herself drift out of the conversation. She padded over to a pale girl who was drinking coffee.
"Hello, I'm Keela. Sorry if I'm interrupting you, I guess I just wanted to say hi," Keela said, feeling more awkward with each passing second. She glanced at the girl, hoping that she wouldn't alert her of her awkward state. God, I'm screwed, Keela thought, internally grimacing. I refuse to muck this greeting up, too. I'm not going to be awkward with everybody I meet.
After she got her coffee she took a step back, surveying. She watched a human girl scold the elder vampire for staring at her, making Odette laugh quietly to herself. She watched the kind human man who dubber her 'Snow White' go to the counter to order many drinks. She also watched as a nervous looking girl came up to her and introduced herself as Keela. The blonde looked full to the brim with nerves.
Odette laughed softly. "It is a pleasure to meet you Miss...".
People in this age were much more forward. Fourty-four years ago, people didn't socialize with her much. She was odd and dark looking. It was good to see that today's people were a bit friendlier.
"Right, my apologies," Alaric said gently to Chantal, taking over at the register while she prepared the smoothies. He glanced back at the vampire, cast her a warning glance, and began to play the charming cashier. He didn't technically need the job. With his years of being alive, Alaric had wealth that he hadn't even touched yet. Chantal worked here and if more vampires were coming, it meant that he needed to keep a closer eye on her.
A moment later, he recalled Rebekah's words and gave her a crooked grin in return. "Would you rather I stare at you then?" He teased. "I always had a thing for hazel eyes." He even added a wink, causing a grinning Chantal to make time to punch his arm lightly.
"Stop trying to dazzle people," she chided gently, mirth glinting in her eyes. "It's not nice." She had just finished with the guy with beautiful eyes - seriously, beautiful eyes? - and sighed, content. Chantal's warm gaze then turned to the brunette Alaric had previously been glaring at, Jordan, and the blonde, Keela she believes, that Rebekah had spoken to. She had seen Keela before and actually found the name to be kinda cute. "And would either of you like to try the smoothies? Don't do this often and don't tell anyone I did, but I'll let you try them for free."
Chantal chose to ignore Alaric's disapproving glare.

After two minutes he dropped it and put it out with his boot. He walked back in and sat down again. Jordan looked at the others and said, " Sorry about that. "
Keela smiled at the girl and finished for her. "I'm Keela, and you are?" she asked, before hearing Chantal, a girl she was slightly acquainted with, but who she liked nevertheless. Keela was happy at the thought of the offer.
"Could I have a blueberry smoothie, please? And thank you, by the way," she responded before turning back to focus on the girl in front of her. She had dark hair and very fair skin, giving her an elegant look, and she spoke softly and gracefully, which Keela couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy about, as she was awkward most of the time and spoke clumsily and oftentimes clambered over her words.

"My name is Odette..." She murmured gently. She could tell the girl was quite nervous, so Odette would try not to make it worse. That was hard though because most vampires had stunning and overwhelming presences that were hard to feel calm around. Her father especially, and since she learned from him she had almost the same effect.
Keela smiled at Odette, glad that at least one new person didn't get freaked out by awkwardness (or at least she didn't show it). She opened her mouth to ask Odette where she was from, but Rebekah beat her to it. She turned her head to look at Rebekah before shaking her head, still smiling, and saying, "No thank you, I've got my own coming, but thanks for offering."
She turned her head back to look at Odette, smiling at her. Now that Rebekah mentions it, I haven't seen her before, Keela thought. I didn't even say, 'Welcome to the town!' Oh my god, what kind of forgetful, rude person am I? No, scratch that, I'll buy her a smoothie and say it then, Keela thought rather desperately, before waiting to speak to Odette.

"I've been in Seattle for a long time... I just don't leave my house much." She smiled with secret knowledge. Humans were adorable some times... They never knew what they couldn't see... "Let's just say, this is my first time in a long time to socialize.." It was true though. Even before she went to sleep she only kept to herself or the coven... Not many humans caught her attention.

She followed shortly behind Claude as they both left the house together. She stayed back his side, looking at the new things that this new world would have to offer. Her eyes fluttered towards a group of guys and she blushed a little, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear and lowering her head. Her gaze bounced over to Claude then she quirked a brow. "You're worried. It's all over your face." She spoke softly as they passed a café, which was seemingly busy at the time. "Odetta is going to be fine, sweetheart. You have to cut her loose at some point, why not start now?" She said while clinging her arm with his. She smiled sweetly up towards him.
Smiling, Chantal set to making more smoothies while Alaric took on more orders. Once they were done, she held one up for Jordan, Keela, and a few more for other customers. Just as she was about to work on a few cafe specialities, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She usually kept it off when she was at work, but after meeting with Damon, she simply left it on silent. Pausing, Chantal pulled it out to see a text from Damon. She looked up at Alaric only for him to be staring at her, expectant.
"I need to step out real quick," she said apologetically, biting her lower lip when Alaric only glanced at her phone, rolled his eyes, and went to make drinks. She took off her apron quickly and headed out, dialing up Damon's number. What did the company want now?
Keela smiled at Chantal, taking a sip of her smoothie. She turned back to Odette, words on the edge of her tongue. She shut her mouth, not wanting to end up with her foot in her mouth. Most times she ended up saying the wrong thing and insulting whoever she was talking to. Keela instead opted for saying, "That's cool." 'That's cool'? That's what you said. Of all things, you choose that? You idiot, Keela thought, regretting her words the second they left her mouth.
She winced slightly, sighing as she did. She leaned forwards a bit, slouching. She breathed in the cool air, enjoying the almost summery scent. Taking a sip of her smoothie, she gave Odette a small smile, slightly embarrassed about, well, everything that had happened.
