she's a vamp, but she still kills the dance

Dance In The Dark
(February 13th)
 

 

Lately, there's been a rise in parties at hidden venues. Secret locations around London that you can only get to if you know the right people. Getting there is difficult, but once you're there, it's sure to be a night you'll never forget- if you remember it in the first place.

Tonight's party is held in an abandoned tube station. Climbing down what feel like thousands of steps you step off through a dark tunnel, the old stone walls slick with condensation. After following the winding walkway, you emerge in a cavernous room, with alcoves filled with pillows, the entire place is lit by candle light. Music blares through speakers as a DJ plays all sorts of dance and techno rave music. Alcohol is plentiful, in multi-color cocktails, and the air is thick with the smell of sweat and magic.

But behind all of that is a new nest of five vampires, watching, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. At the signal, the lights will be doused, the doors shut, and what will later be called the Valentine's Eve Massacre will begin.

If you're lucky, there are some ways out. Back tunnels, sewers, ways to escape. You could always fight, too- the vampires are young and inexperienced. Either way, it's up to you to save yourself: there's no mobile phone reception down here.

Thanks. I'll be fine. If I have trouble walking, I'll hail a cab or taxi. Whatever they're called here. [He shrugs lightly, standing from the couch and sliding his phone into his pocket. With his military training and what not, he trusts London to be the kind of danger he can handle. Anything beyond what he can handle is unlikely.]

Thanks again. You're my hero. [Kyle flashes another smile, turning to let himself out.] Have a good night, Nancy.

Don't call me that,
[but she says it good naturedly, returning his smile as she walks him towards the door.]

Any time. Take care, and text when you're home, alright, Kyle?

[Kyle turns around at the door, leaning forward to give Nancy a quick kiss on the cheek. Then he nods, smiles, and slips out the doorway back into the night. He waits until he's half a block away before he drops the smile from his face and focuses on getting home. At which point he will eventually text Nancy a simple 'goodnight! :)']
