Ugh. The shoes we're already killing her feet, and she had a feeling she was lost. Yay. So, how was she going to get to the castle now? About to give up and turn back, she let out a sigh of defeat. That was, until she saw a cab coming down the road. Hurrying to the curb, she waved her hand to try and hail the cab, which she managed to do with minor difficulty. Though it wasn't surprising the cab driver knew where she was going, considering she was wearing a fancy dress. The only bad part was she was crammed in with two other people. A couple. The ride to the castle was very, very awkward. Thankfully though, neither her or the other woman's dress got wrinkled or ruined or stained. Watching the scenery go by, she tried to figure out what roads we're what, and looking at landmarks so she could start learning the lay of the town. That way next time she tried to go somewhere, maybe she'd actually be able to find her way.

''Hm. Never been street racing before, but sure. Sounds fun. See ya 'round.'' Once he got back to the castle after that he was met immediatly by the maid his family had brought with them. Great. So he didn't even get to dress himself this time.'' he huffed,
letting the maid dress him in a traditional suit, with a red rose in the pocket as an added touch. That maid best be glad he liked roses. Well, who knows. Maybe he'll at least find some human tonight with good blood. That vamp he had met earlier though seemed like a guy he could be friends with. rebellious and enjoys breaking the rules. It'd keep things interesting in the boring town...well, to him it was boring, especially having lived there most of his life. He also had to agree with the guy that it's fun to hunt. Though he of course had never known another way besides hunting, just having your food delivered in bags or just simply delivered to your waiting fangs was beyond boring. The blood also tasted a little better when it was hunted down. at least, that's what he thinks anyways. Straightening up his hair a bit more. well, more like giving it more of a slightly ruffled instead of the sleek look the maid had done. It had been hideous before he fixed it. '

Takehiko made his way down stairs and could already hear the arriving cars so sighs softly not really in the mood for a lot of people today. He managed to find his mother who was talking to one of the other royals so he just walked passed and towards the large room where the party was going to be. After entering in he already saw a bunch of people there who just came in and started chatting like crazy but that wasn't anything new, while looking at the people entering his cousin came standing next to him saying: "Well well if it isn't Takehiko, so how have you been cousin?" He glanced over at the girl only a few years younger then him and replied: "Is there a reason for you to bother me?" She quickly crossed her arms and said: "Rude as always I see, I just wanted to know how you are doing idiot!" Hiko only sighs and replied: "I have been doing just fine, well see you later brat." He entered the room while hearing the huff from his cousin as she glared at him. He wasn't the friendliest person, even less so if they where his family so in all honestly he didn't even care. He found himself at the tables that has been set out with snacks and so for the people then grabbed a few sweets and walks to a far corner to lean on the wall.

Sayuri glanced out the window as the taxi drove, the area was mostly forest it seemed before they reached the castle. Ones the taxi stopped she quickly payed the driver before getting out and straightening her soft dress, her hazel eyes soon looks up to see the breathtaking view of the large castle before her. Her lips slightly parted as she watching the beautiful building for a few second before she got her phone to take a quick picture and show her parents later on, her parted lips closed into a smile while she looked at all the guests arriving, they seemed to come from all kinds of places so she hoped to meet a few and hear their stories. Yuri started walking while her eyes remained roaming around the area looking at all the details of this lovely place, it was clearly the first time she ever saw a castle since her parents never did much traveling for being to busy and all. After entering the place she could hear the soft music playing and the talking of people who most probably knew each other or had partners, she doesn't want to feel to left out so decided she will talk to others if she found someone who was more alone. Everything seemed like the typical fancy ball and the snacks looked pleasant and colorful, she softly taps her hand to the beat of the soft music while her eyes glanced at the people around her then stopped to look at a few people comping from a other room, she knew they must have been the higher ups who stayed in this large castle.

Sure, castles we're normally a little bit away from the towns they rules, but this was rather far away from the town for a castle; there were so many forests along the journey. However, the thought left her mind when she saw the castle. The castle was spectacular sight, detailed and massive. Yet an air of mystery and something darker seemed to sometimes penetrate the inviting, welcoming feel of the night. Slowly she followed the crowd into the castle, the distant music becoming louder, until she finally reached the room in which the event was being held. Even the interior of the castle was stunning, even more detailed than the outside of the castle. There was quite a lot of people though- she wasn't used to being in such a large crowd. Ah, well, she'd make do. Maybe she could find someone to talk to, make some friends. Something that had been the least of her concerns until now. Previously running and getting as far away as she could from home had been her priority more so than her own safety from human dangers. Smiling she wandered about for a bit, eventually making her way to the table that held snacks and beverages. Placing a small piece of cheesecake on a plate and grabbing a cup of water, she sat down at a table, taking in her elaborate and fancy surroundings.

Already the party was boring and loud. At least to him. The entire party just had to be elegant and fancy didn't it, nothing interesting. Just maturity and class, nothing entertaining. The people we're annoying to, with all their annoying chitter chatter.
Looking around for something to do, he figured maybe he should go mingle. Maybe he could find a human...well, that part was entertaining. There would be one thing exciting about the night. Looking around trying to spot a human, he ended up spotting someone he had met earlier instead. Walking over to Takehiko, he leaned beside him on the wall. '' Let me guess. Annoyed already?
Or simply bored? '' pausing a few moments to examine the crowd, he chose his next words carefully. '' Hey, I don't know if you heard,
but the royal family does have something interesting planned for tonight. And here I thought they were a bunch of goody-two shoes who refused their instinct to hunt.''

Takehiko Yasuo::Hiko::19::Tags, Kio

Takehiko was still leaned up against the wall watching the crowds of people, he lifts her foot foot placed it against the wall while crossing his arms and still just looking boredly at the people going on. However someone caught his attention, ones more she looked at lot like Ayumi but this time he had a clearer view of the girl. A small dark smirk appearing on his lips as he watched her disappear into the crowd before his attention turned to the voice speaking to him. He looks at Kio with a smirk as he said: "Guess You could say so, it's a lot more boring then the parties I usually enjoy visiting every now and then, fancy just isn't really my thing." His head slightly tilted to the side while saying: "Something planned? That does sound rather interesting, I do hope it starts soon or I might just leave and find something else to do but then again my mother would kill me if I just left, not that I care much but their nagging gets annoying... anyway tell me more about this little plan, I am really cerious now." He softly chuckled and glanced back at the people before saying: "Hmm say, if you could feed off a human in this crowed who would it be?"


Sayuri Feather::Yuri::18::tags, Open

Sayuri made her way over to get some water at the tables for all the snacks and drinks, she got a glass then fills it up before she finds herself a place to sit down and watch the people as she drinks her water slowly. Bringing the glass to her lips which parted to take a sip of the cold liquid that soon moved gently and freely down her throat. Some of the people started dancing to the music and a small smile appears on her lips after she finished her first sip, her hazel eyes watching them curiously while they had the time of their lives. It wasn't long before she snaps a picture with her phone she could send to get family, everything seemed so cheerful here even if it was a more upperclass party. Yuri finished her water after that and stood back up while walking towards the groups of people again, there she accidentally bumps into a girl(Ayumi) and slightly gasps before she gives a quick bow saying: "Sorry! I wasn't paying attention." She felt embarresed for bumping into strangers but she didn't always look where she was going being way to cerious about the building and people.

The cheesecake was divine, very rich and creamy. She was willing to bet that the castle had chefs who made the cheesecake themselves. Though she also felt bad for the chefs, having to of cooked all this food, where'd they find the time to relax or sleep? Lost in thought she didn't watch where she was going and ended up bumping into a girl her age(Sayuri). '' Ah, don't worry about it.
To be fair I wasn't paying much attention either, so your not the only one at fault here.'' She gave the girl a smile after hearing her un-needed apology. '' say, have you tried the cheesecake here? It's amzing.'' The girl seemed to be a resident who felt just as out of place as she need; needless to say, Ayumi though the girl might make a new friend. '' Sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is Ayumi Shizuka.''


___Kio Nightshade-18-male-tagged;None___
'' That makes two of us than.'' He smirked though as something he had said earlier caught Takehiko's attention. '' Yep. It's definetly exciting, and rather surprising for the royal family.''' leaning up off the wall a bit he looked around. ''You ask who I would feed off of if I could? You should be asking who I plan to feed off of. '' Smirking he hoped Takehiko got a general idea of what the royal family was planning. '' Though I have to say I have three candidates. One is a woman with brown hair streaked with some red-ish highlights. Though she's my least favorite of the three. The other two includes a female with this silver-ish, almost white hair with a hint of a light shade of purple. Though I think i'm going to try to go for that girl over there, in the red dress with the orange hair.
Her blood smells the most appealing out of the three.'' stretching slightly he turned his head to look at Takehiko. '' Figure it out yet?
All the vampires in attendance that are staying here at the castle get to choose one human each that they get to keep. You'll get your very own hunted human of your choice. Just gotta sneak 'em out of here and make sure none of the other humans notice they go missing. Though you can't start picking or hunting until midnight. What time is it anyways?''

Takehiko Yasuo::Hiko::19::Tags, Kio

Takehiko glanced over at Kio and said: "Hmm I get the idea now, rather smart to invite the town to get humans like that... they won't expect a thing, but how are you planning on luring them away from the castle, they can be rather crafty things." He looks over at the three girls one catching his attention, he looks at Ayumi and slightly smirks then said: "Well your taste in blood isn't bad at all, but I will rather go for the white haired girl that is busy talking to your orange head one... She is an old friend after all, a little run away so I do wish to see her again... just be careful around her, she knows about vampires and if those two stay together until midnight getting them apart will be a lot harder, we don't want anyone giving away the game now do we." He looks at his watch and sighs saying: "Still a while before midnight, a little more then an hour, seems like some of the vampires are already picking out humans most likely befriending them to lure then away a lot easier." He yawns a little saying: "Well Lets hope the time past faster, watching and waiting is rather annoying."


Sayuri Feather::Yuri::18::tags, Open

Sayuri smiles looking at the girl in front of her while saying: "No I haven't tried it, but will get myself some right now... they do look really fluffy and sweet!" She then turned her smile into a grin since she seemed to finally found someone to talk to, she quickly said: "Its nice meeting you Ayumi, I am Sayuri Feather, I am pretty new to the area so yeah still getting use to everyone here... so have you tried any of the other snack yet?" She goes over to the table and got herself some of the cheese cake, taking the small plate and fork before turning her attention back to Ayumi while she took a quick bite of the cake. It was really lovely so she soon took a second bite before saying: "Wow this is really good! I need to meet there wonderful chefs." Her eyes sparkled a little.

''No, I haven't tried any other sweets yet, but I suppose i should.'' With a smile she tried a few chocolate covered strawberries and pretzals, as well as some hot brownies with fudge. '' I agree with you Sayuri. I would love to meet the chefs, or at least learn what recipes they use. Their cooking is amazing!'' For a moment she felt something was off, but in a split second it was gone again. '' I'm glad I'm not the only one around here that is new though. I got here about a week ago, and i've been trying to settle in and learn my way around. I had met people who we're supposed to of given me a tour today, but they canceled, I'm assuming because of this party. Not that i'm complaining though, other than the fact they didn't tell me and that i had to cram into a cab with some strangers.''


___Kio Nightshade-18-male-tagged;None___
'' An old 'friend' who's a runaway eh? Well then by all means she has to be returned to her owner than. Surprised she got away from a noble family in the first place though...especially if she made it far enough to own a dress that fancy'' he then frowned, listening to Takehiko. '' You make a good point though. If she already knows of our existence, she'll likely catch on to our plans and ruin them, or she'll be overly cautious.'' he frowned again, thinking. '' Also, if she knows you it'll be much harder to get her away. She'll probably make a scene.... I suppose I could try and create a blackout later , but that might make things worse, I'm not entirely sure.'' Turnig to face Takehiko again, his tone turned dead serious. '' If your meal keeps me from getting mine though, we're going to have some issues though, got it?'' he then returned to being laid back and friendly. '' Even if we have to wait a while though, 'tis the way of the hunter. Besides, it gives us time to plan, or win over the trust of the humans.''

Takehiko Yasuo::Hiko::19::Tags, Kio

Takehiko looks over at Ayumi while saying: "She didn't get away, I didn't own her only drank some of her blood, my family often visits hers since they are also vampires but then again she was born human with quite interesting blood, guess it's also the reason why other blood tastes rather dull and here I thought humans had interesting blood only for a little till you need to find a new one but I don't think so could ever get tired of hers." He soon placed his hands in the pockets of his black pants while saying: "True She could find out about the plan but then again maybe not, I do have a plan to get her aways from your orange head so that should give you time to take her away... I am just not sure how I will get here away from the party, don't worry she won't keep you away from your meal not if my plan works which it most likely would since she is afraid of me." He then looks at Kio saying: "Got any plans you think could help you?" A small smirk testing on his lips.


Sayuri Feather::Yuri::18::tags, Ayumi

Sayuri joined in to try some of the other snack, her favourite being the chocolate covered strawberries. She grabbed a few to place on her empty plate which ones held her cake, then she looks at Ayumi while she said: "Yes I would love to know all their secrets and make this nice heavenly stuff at home!" She was suprised hearing that Ayumi was new but it was also a lot more relaxing and it also made her father happy that she wasn't the only one. She then grins saying: "Nice, I am also here for about a week now but mainly just settled in so haven't seen much of everything... well it's usually annoying when a tour guide leave you but it does happen and I also agree that is was most likely the party." She smiles saying: "So why did you move here? Found this place interesting maybe?" She looks over at Ayumi while eating a chocolate covered strawberry.

Interesting, so this girl was near exactly as new as she was. About ready to respond, she heard Sayuri ask her a question. Freezing in place, a look of fear momentarily overtook her face. Telling people you're a runaway doesn't exactly sound like a good thing, and if she told her why she ran away Sayuri would probably think she was psychotic. Yet she couldn't lie to the girl,that would just be rude. '' Um...I-It's not important..... anyways, have you tried the shortcake? It's pretty good as well?'' Her friendly stature had becomed a bit more withdrawn, as if she was prepared to flee at any moment. Though it was clear she was also trying to avoid the topic of why she had moved there, to the town. In all honesty for a moment she had thought that maybe Sayuri was a vampire, but thankfully, Sayuri exhibited no signs of being a vamp. She would still have to be cautious until she was sure though. ''' This place has been pretty interesting so far, especially for being run by a monarchy. You don't see many places like this around anymore.''

''How peculiar. A human born to a family a vampires? They can't be nobles then.. nobles don't have human blood anywhere along their ancestry. Unless for some reason an idiotic noble chose to have children with a human. None the less i bet it would make for some rather unique blood...hmm. as for if I have any plans though to help me.Hm...well, I've been in the town quite a few times and not once have I seen that girl with the orange hair until here at the party. I'm assuming she's new. Monarchies are not common in the modern times though, so she must have been curious considering she likely moved here. It's also tradition for members of the royal family who have no significant others to mingle with the opposite gender at parties to potentially meet someone. Though usually it's with other royals. People from other high-ranking families will also often follow the tradition. So I suppose I could always offer her a dance. If she's curious enough it's unlikely she'll refuse. Though your plan best work .''

Takehiko Yasuo::Hiko::19::Tags, Kio

Takehiko chuckled a little saying: "Yes it is rather strange but I guess this world has always been a strange place." His gaze turned back towards the two girls while he said: "Well You do have a rather good plan, just try making it quick I am not completely sure how long I will keep her new little friend busy like I said the girl knows me so she will most likely try getting away faster than normal... anyway we should get started on that plan, we don't want to wait to long so I'll go keep Ayumi busy for you." He stretched his arms and smirks saying: "Don't loose your meal, I won't try helping you again if you fail the first time... still an half an hour till midnight but eh no one will notice." He soon stood back up straight then started walking into the crowd glancing back at Kio as he said: "Good luck." After a soft chuckle he disappeared into the crowd slowly moving closer to Ayumi from behind, it wasn't long before he stood behind her and said: "Hello there miss, could I perhaps get a dance?" After saying so he moved his lips closer to her ear while whispering: "Try not to create a scene, the poor people worked hard to get this dance going and the last thing they need is drama so just dance with me Ayumi." He slightly smirks waiting for her to turn around as he moved his head away.


Sayuri Feather::Yuri::18::tags, Ayumi

Sayuri tilted her head a little confused, she suddenly seemed scared and then avoided the topic completely. Yuri was a cerious person yes but she also knew when not to push it so she only replied: "I didn't really try it no but I will, have you?" Ayumi seemed to have been acting strange after that question but Yuri only acted like it didn't happen, the last thing she wanted was to have the girl feel uncomfortable in any way. She soon smiles and said: "Yes it has been really interesting, I also haven't hear of a place that held so many stories and legends, it always seem to keep you busy with excitement and stuff so I have been enjoying my new home really much." It wasn't long after and a strange man showed up behind Ayumi asking her for a dance, she smiles a little wondering if they knew each other in some way. She glanced around a little then quickly ate a other chocolate covered strawberry.
