Sandy Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 To Carly: "Miss Carly Swift, how did you come up with your latest smash hit?!" "Oh, I have so many of those!" the starlet giggled. "Which one do you mean?" "What was your inspiration for 'Lovebird'?" "Oh, that? The notes were actually a gift from a devoted fan. As soon as I saw them, I knew I was holding a hit song in my hands." As Carly was bombarded with questions, the gnomish manager waved his hands impatiently. "Alright! Just a few more short questions, then we have to go." Bobby waves to the fans standing next to them. "Yo, what's up, my dudes! You guys seem way chiller than the fans who were standing over here!" The other fans glared at Bobby, not at all pleased about the way the heroes had cut in front of them.

Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 "Aye, Lovebird! That smash hit! Was this fan a friend of yours? I couldn't believe any person could approach such a beautiful star such as you and have the nerve to talk to you!" Quote
Comrade Commander Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 ooc: Loot distribution: Leofwein: Grand Potion & Remedy Bobby: Pheonix Essense & Grand Tonic Darksten: Smelling Salts & Smoke Bomb "Oh, that? The notes were actually a gift from a devoted fan. As soon as I saw them, I knew I was holding a hit song in my hands." "You are clearly very smart to have recognized it as such right away! You wouldn't happen to remember anything about this fan and/or where you met him?" Darksten says to the star "I would love to meet this mystery person who inspired such a talented person like you!" The ranger continues, doing everything he can from rolling his eyes. Quote

I couldn't believe any person could approach such a beautiful star such as you and have the nerve to talk to you!" "Oh no, we only talked for that one time, and very briefly. My manager here never gives me a breather, I swear!" "You are clearly very smart to have recognized it as such right away! You wouldn't happen to remember anything about this fan and/or where you met him?" Darksten says to the star "I would love to meet this mystery person who inspired such a talented person like you!" "The fan was a she, actually. A beautiful, pale girl. She often comes to my concerts, but strangely only those that take place after nightfall. She might be here tonight, too. Now that I think about it, she..." "Alllright! That's quite enough of yammering! The fan meeting's over, hope you had fun, come again, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!" The gnome managed pushed the smiling and waving Carly Swift back inside. The crowd let out a collective sigh of disappointment, and slowly dispersed.

Comrade Commander Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 "Aye. But we don't have tickets. How do we get in?" "We don't" Darksten grumbles "We just stand by the front door and effing wait for her to come to us" After waiting to see if the party comes up with a better plan, Darksten begins walking back towards the front doors hoping that the fans would be arriving for the concert soon so he didn't have to wait long Quote
Sandy Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 After waiting to see if the party comes up with a better plan, Darksten begins walking back towards the front doors hoping that the fans would be arriving for the concert soon so he didn't have to wait long It was still hours until sundown. The heroes could make an educated guess about who the fan might be, or just wait by the Theater for the day to pass and hope they would be able to pick up the right person from the crowd. Quote
Zepher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 "Yo, one of those Shadeaux chicks is all pale and shiz, and the Hinckwells and them aren't friends, know what I'm saying? So maybe that's who it is, yo. But I'd be groovy with just chilling here to hope she shows up, in case it ain't her know what I mean?" Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 "Aye, sounds like a plan. Sit and wait." Quote

The only other pale person I see is thst fanatic and I wouldn't call him/her beautiful... not to mention it is before sundown. I am fine with just waiting" Darksten says as he moves to give himself a good view of the entrence way."Unless we think we cna make it to the market and back in time..." Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 "Is the market absolutely necessary?" Quote
Comrade Commander Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) "Is the market absolutely necessary?" "Nope, but would be better than staring at each other for hours." Darksten says, adding under his breath "Though come to think of it, maybe it is best if we just stay here and let you practice your combat skills." Edited February 8, 2015 by Comrade Commander Quote
Sandy Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 "Nope, but would be better than staring at each other for hours." Darksten says, adding under his breath "Though come to think of it, maybe it is best if we just stay here and let you practice your combat skills." The heroes decided to stay put, in hopes that the pale girl Carly Swift mentioned would pass them by. Hours passed, and slowly the concert-goers started to trickle towards the Theater. There was no sign of any pale beauties until a vampiress walked by. A young man dressed in all black suddenly stopped her, conveniently in front of the heroes. "Hey! Aren't you Donna Winter, the Undying Queen of the Dancefloor?! I'm your biggest admirer!" "Tho you think, hot blood. But yeth, it ith I." "Helvetia's grace, this is so cool! Please, oh Queen, can you make me your childe?!" "Oh bother... I have a conthert to catch, you knov? And I do not make jutht anyone my childe. You have to earn it, really yearn it." "But I do! I want to be yours for all eternity!" Would the heroes interfere? Quote
Zepher Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Bobby spots one of the girls who was in the park earlier in the day and gives her a big old wave before remembering he never actually met her or talked to her. "Yo, bros, what do you think we should do? She's pale and a vampire and all that shiz, so like the night thing makes sense know what I'm saying, but why would she give the music to that Carly chick? And how would she get it? Maybe one of us should go say yo while the rest of us keep our eyes on the street so we don't miss any of the action? That sound gucci? Or what? I'd be willing to go chat her up." Quote
Comrade Commander Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 "She does have pale skin and would wander the night, but she's not my type of beauty. Feel free to go chat her up though Bobby" Darksten says "Unless we think someone of a lighter completion will have more success..." Darksten finishes, glancing at Leofwein. Remembering his luck at the park, Darksten removes his compass to check if they were even looking at the right girl Quote
Sandy Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Remembering his luck at the park, Darksten removes his compass to check if they were even looking at the right girl Darksten's compass pointed somewhere to the east. However, that was the direction where the vampiress was currently. Quote
Zepher Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 "Yo dudes, what how it's done!" Bobby walks forward confidently and grins at the vampiress. "Yo, Donna Winter? What's up?! My name is Bobby Jr. Bucks, it's awesome to meet you." He offers his hand. "I didn't know you were a fan of Carly Swift too. Her music is dank, yo. Have you heard that new shiz by her? You know the one." Bobby hums some of the song. "Love that shiz. How do you think she comes up with that stuff, yo?" "Yo, dude!" says Bobby, grinning also at the young man in black. Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 While Bobby talks, Leofwein keeps his eyes open to the east. Quote

Donna sized up Bobby from head to toes, before turning to the wannabe vampire. "Very vell, my 'biggest admirer', here ith your chanthe to prove your loyalty." "Oh yeah?! I'll do whatever you want, my queen!" "I jutht hate going to the conthert vith an empty thtomach. Let uth get me a bite to eat..." The vampire's eyes glared red, and she lunged at Bobby with her fangs bared. He backed to the alleyway where Darksten and Leofwein were waiting. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Zepher Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 "Yo, that would have been aight with me. No need to get all crazy, dude!" Bobby fends off Donna with his whip from the back row. Quote
Comrade Commander Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) "Bloody hell..." Darksten shouts, noting with irony that once again the rouge had scampered out of the way and left him to face the supposed vampire. He reaches for his crossbow out of instinct but quickly weighs his odds. It was unlikely that his bolt would do little damage. Instead he reaches for his plethora of potions and hurls one at the lunging female as he works to put a little distance between him and her. Suggested battle order: Darksten: potion on Donna from back Bobby: wannabe from back Leofwein: wannabe from front Edited February 10, 2015 by Comrade Commander Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 "Argh! Not again!" Leofwein raises his axe and tries to lop off the head of the Vampire Wannabee, front row. Quote
Sandy Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 QM Note: I added some gold into the drops to enable stealing, like was my intention all along, but somehow I forgot it during the writing process. Results of Round One of the Vampiress Battle: >Darksten uses Potion on Donna Winter - (Donna: -10 health) >Bobby vs. Donna Winter - Critical Hit (Donna: enamored) Leofwein vs. Vampire Wannabe - Shield (Frenzy - Donna: no effect; Wannabe: 25 health-11 dmg=14 health) Darksten resorts to unusual methods by chucking his potion at Donna. The vampiress screams as the healing liquid hits her, causing her pale skin to burn and smoke. Bobby's whip makes Donna Winter enamored with him, while Leofwein hits the Vampire Wannabe in a frenzy. Both enemies still remain standing.
