"I'm not exactly from here," Rory stated, her eyes darting from one corner of the room to the next, "And I try to stay away from whatever 'underbelly' this city can offer." She could have elaborated, but preferred to keep her less-than-glamorous background under wraps, especially in such an exorbitant environment.

"And the Finch family exactly deals with...?" She began, expecting to hear things like 'extortion', 'drug peddling', or even 'murder'. The more that she learned about Lestat, the more she was seeing him as a snake in the grass. Not in a terrible way. She was one too. But he was one willing to strike at a moment's notice. Hiding in the grass or criminal underbelly was no different.

Rory selected a chair closest to the door. Its deep maroon exterior was posh and upon sitting she found it to be quite uncomfortable. Alas, beauty comes with pain. "Let the discussing begin." Rory smirked, folding her hands in her lap, tucking her backpack securely under her fingertips.

The older male chose a chair across from her, sitting down and gazing at her with amusement. “We are thieves and smugglers. The best there is, in fact.” Lestat replied. The King of Theives began to fiddle with the dagger he’d been keeping in his pocket, finding the feel of the cold metal comforting.

Rory quirked her head, staring at Lestat with narrowed eyes and a strange smile. "I'll believe that when you prove it." She coughed lightly, widening her eyes into her lap before looking up. "With more than just your humble abode." She chuckled once, wringing her fingers in her lap.

The brunette's eyes drifted to Lestat's hand in his pocket, but quickly back up to his face. She never liked hands in pockets. That was normally how she got her scars. While on edge, Rory was still enticed with the idea of the heist. It sounded dangerous and exciting- far past her usual habitual activities. It was like her mother had always said, "Okazja na nikogo nie czeka."

Lestat chuckled, slipping his dagger out and twirling it in his fingers. He liked his new companion, but that didn’t mean he would let his guard down. She needed to know he was more than capable of defending himself. “I assure you, we are quite capable theives. Not to mention the fact that we’ve never been caught or convicted by the police.”

"Gut any fish recently?" Rory questioned, though more to herself about the dagger than to the man across from her. She might not have been a crime overlord, but she did know that it was a show of power. She had a similar dagger in her bag, though significantly less nice and shiny. Also, it was in her bag. If Lestat wanted to get to her, she was sure that he would win.

Not that she would ever tell them that. On equal ground, maybe it would be an "it's anyone's game!" type of fight. But it wasn't. Not that she was planning on fighting him. He had promised her money after all.

The brunette cracked her neck, wrinkling her nose. While his claim was impressive, she had never been caught by police either. None that survived, anyway. That was a different story. "Okay. I get it. Crime boss equals you. Heist equals when and where and whom and why?" Not that he made her uncomfortable, but, well, he made her uncomfortable. Especially with that dagger in his fingers. She wanted to move on, even if for her own selfish sake.

EIGHTEEN ` ALIEN EXPLORER `TAGS EVELISE
——atticus wasn't one to forgive so quickly, but something about the guilt on evelise's face made his features soften. even if he wasn't planning on being cross with her, the conflict still remained about what to do with the body. a rough sigh escaped the teen's lips, as a hand ran through his soft blonde hair. surprises had nothing to do with it. this man was dead because of instinct, and that wasn't something atti could entirely blame her for. that's what the entire village had to live on. he knew she was just trying to sugar coat the situation when it really couldn't be any more bitter. there was literally a dead man laying right in front of them, with blood seeping from a fierce neck wound.

——"okay, okay..." atticus mumbled, trying to calm his nerves as he paced the alleyway like a frantic mouse. he folded his arms over his chest right after tugging his coat closer around the lanky frame of his body, giving himself some time to think. "you're not going to report me, are you?" the blonde heard his comrade speak, the purest amount of fear slipping through her voice. of course he wouldn't. atticus wasn't going to turn on her now, or ever for that matter. all they needed to do was clean this mess up before anyone would see it, and he was going to help her. the only thing that bothered him though was the fact that eve was more worried about getting punished than actually killing a man in cold blood. but that hardly crossed his mind, especially with the problem at hand. "i'm not going to report you, eve. you know me better than that," he said, his green orbs flashing towards her. "but we can't just leave him here. you need to, like.. grab a big bag or something.. just whatever will hold his body.. and we have to stay in the shadows, just so nobody suspects us, okay?"

Relief swept through like a rainstorm at his words, and Evelise flashed him a rough approximation of a smile to convey it. She felt jittery all over, her own pacing mirroring his. Atticus was right, of course, still sensible even with this situation thrown at him. But the shock was starting to wear off for her, and Ev's heart thundered faster with the rhythm of her speeding thoughts. Why did she, how could she, maybe he deserved it for trying to rob her... The moment the final unsettling thought crossed her mind she physically jumped. God, what was wrong with her? This starving kid wasn't like her other kills, some drunk savage intent on cutting her body open with a broken bottle after he'd taken his fill. Or some street gang gooney, shooting at her so she was forced to shoot back. He was just a kid... A kid who would land her in prison if she didn't take care of his body.

Hardening her heart, Evelise wrapped a scarlet-stained hand around the corpse's arm and pulled him deeper into the alley. Nausea threatened to overwhelm her, and only a tenuous grip on her shock and force of will kept her breakfast from smearing the dirty cobblestone ground. Perhaps it was better that she learned this lesson young. Got rid of that stupid queasiness, sentimentality that would kill her on the streets. Weakness, she chided herself over and over, despite the fragile feel of too-thin limbs in her hands. Setting him gently against the back wall covered with littered leaves and trash, Ev looked up towards her companion. "Thank you, Atti. It means a lot, it really does. Just, forget this messed up moment okay? I guess my hold on sanity isn't quite as strong as I'd like to believe." The excuse sounded dumb, even to her own ears. But really, she didn't even know why she killed him. It was one of those moments when her control just... slipped. And visceral terror made people into idiots and monsters, she was learning.

"Nobody will really look here anyways, and we'll be long gone by then. Right?" Evelise murmured, hating herself for how hopeful she sounded. How could she even use the word 'we' without guilt hitting like a fist to the stomach? If she really cared for him at all, she should be sending him far, far away from her with his clean hands and beautiful, troubled face. It tore at something in her chest, but once the first words escaped, the rest came pouring out too.

"I'm sorry, that was stupid and selfish of me. You have anywhere safe to stay? Lay low for a day or two? We can't have you anywhere near this disaster in case someone finds the body. I've screwed up royally in the friend department, I know. I'll make it up to you. Some other day. Right now though, you need to get out of here before they can pin my mistakes on you." Concern glittered alongside regret and something like pain in her teal gaze. She shoved her hands in her pockets though, not daring to reach out with her bloody fingers and traumatize him further. This was a reminder why she looked to the beasts for companionship and not people. They could recognize their own.

ooc; lowkey mixing up my characters though :') was writing a post for darling bloodthirsty Cameryn in another rp and went directly to Ev's afterwards without checking my character sheets for her personality. Rip, sweet mellow little Evelise.

this girl was pretty funny. she seemed rather cautious about everything, and judging by just that habit, aki knew this girl was some sort of survivor. it's a well-known fact that someone could make it out here with caution alone. you may not need the skill to steal or move around quickly if you were just attentive. and another thing that defies the rules of survival is the ability to bargain or 'play dead'. aki didn't know cat well at all. she was just some girl who showed up and asked for food. maybe aki could get some information out of her through casual conversation, but she wasn't too certain. she hadn't talked to someone for more than ten seconds at a time for months now.

"hmm. maybe you lose your catch from carrying a lot of stuff around all the time. you got a lot of luggage? that kinda slows you down. anyway, i'm varuna," aki lied. but it wasn't really a lie. varuna was her middle name, but because no one else knew about it, cat wouldn't be able to use it to track her down or find anything out about her. she could get off scott-free no matter what.

aki finished up with the turkey leg and tossed it down the alley. there may be some stray dogs who'd like the bone.

——it wasn't atticus' immediate plan to throw the corpse over by a heap of garbage, and it wasn't really a safe idea to leave it out in the open if there was the slightest chance that someone came by and found it. it was a messy decision on eve's part, and instead of deciding to leave the body exposed, the blonde grabbed a messy scrap of blanket, long enough to sheathe the body as he placed it gently atop the corpse. atticus wasn't hopeful about nobody finding it, but it would buy them some time to figure out a smarter plan to keep their crime hidden. or, her crime. but as frustrated and confused as he was, he wasn't going to let evelise sort this out on her own.

——a stressed sigh slipped past the teen's lips, palms fastening over both the sides of his hips as he exchanged his comrade an empty glance. "yeah, you're welcome," he muttered as a hand rose to pinch the bridge of his nose. he didn't allow himself to show how frantic he was internally, as to not freak out eve any more than she already was. mentioning her amount of sanity struck him at an odd angle, but he responded with a nervous, short-lived grin, before tearing his green gaze away from her.

——really, evelise didn't need to apologize to him. if anyone, she needed to apologize to herself. but he respected the comment anyway. another sigh escaped his lungs, his feet finding their way closer to evelise as he opened his mouth to speak. "it's okay, eve. the only thing we really need to worry about now is getting to martha's house, and back over to the slaughterer's base." he pursed his lips. "that was the plan, right?"

Cat looked at the case she was holding, she couldn't tell the girl that the case was actually a sniper rifle she had snatched from the army base and modified to be a legit lethal weapon. That it was worth quite a good amount of money, the woman was a survivor and out here even the nice ones would stab you in the back and take what you had. She looked up dawning a rather sad expression masking it with a fake smile, she was rather good at manipulating her facial expression. She said wavering her voice, "Maybe but I could never let this go."

She lightly tapped the case looking at it as if it was dear to her and in a way it was as she continued her fake sob story, "This is my brother's old guitar. We use to be out here together alone and scared. But then while on a hunt, he got taken out by a bomb. This is all that is left of him." She cut it short acting like it hurt her to speak about her brother.
