[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I can tell."

"Still not understanding."

"Is this some secret headquarters?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And what do you spend time doing?" he asked, glancing back at Scarlet.

"She's asking if you're in a relationship with him," Ray clarified.

"Of sorts. I've just come here so often I have a room reserved for me."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Doing? Why, I just do what is in accordance to my nature. Most of the time."

She blinked. "Why is that relevant?"

"Also spooky."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Most of the time?"

"For my own knowledge."

"Is it?" he asked, chuckling.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Indeed. Sometimes you get bored doing the same old thing, wouldn't you agree?"

She just shrugged in response.

"No one's found you out yet, huh?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And then what do you do?"

Scarlet narrowed her eyes for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay, I think that is a fair enough response."

"For doing what?" he asked innocently, stopping in front of a door.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Read, sometimes."

That made her shrug again. "If you're asking permission for something, make it clear."

"Oh, nothing, nothing."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward snorted. "Right. Does she as well?"

"I don't need permission for anything," she laughed.

"Exactly," he said and fished in his pockets for the key.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Read?" He studied Scarlet for a moment. "It is impossible to say. She has her own reasons for doing things. You two seem to be looking at each other quite a bit."

"Then don't hesitate to make yourself understood."

"Give me the umbrella so you have an extra hand."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm making sure she doesn't do anything."

"I'm not hesitating."

"Here," he said, tossing it to him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Anything like what?"

"Good."

He caught it in one hand and leaned on it a bit.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Violent."

"Are you?"

Tom found the key and unlocked the door. "Enter," he said, making a sweeping motion with his hand.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Will you calm down?"

"Good or hesitating?"

"Very formal," he commented, walking inside and taking a look around.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I am calm."

"Either."

"I try," he said and closed the door behind him. The place opened up into a living room-type area with a built-in kitchen, and a door in the back leading to a bedroom. The room looked ordinary enough, save for the bulging stack of newspaper clippings next to the couch.
"Damnit, those should've been put away," Tom grumbled, going over to pic them up.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You certainly don't seem it."

She shrugged in response. "I can't foresee an appropriate response to that."

"Geez... quite the accommodations."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward sighed and didn't reply.

"Fair enough."

"I'll say, but money takes you far, my friend," he said, putting the newspaper clippings in a filing cabinet under a nearby desk.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Lighten up a bit, will you? Let your friends have fun, if anything."

"I thought so."

"I can tell."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"They are having fun."

Scarlet raised her eyebrows and leaned back in the seat, crossing one leg over the other.

"You hungry?" he asked, standing up straight.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"They're worried that you're going to freak out."

"What?"

"Is that even a question?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I can't help it."

"Nothing," she said, glancing around the club at the other people milling about.

"I can't tell if that's a yes or a no. Either way, I don't think I have any food," he said, opening and closing the cupboards. "Wait, I have a can of soup."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"They don't know that."

"If you say so."

"Why did you offer food if you don't have any?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"They've known me long enough."

"I am a bit peckish," she murmured to herself.

"Courtesy?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Are you sure?" he looked back. "The tall one looks pretty concerned."

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that."

He laughed. "Terrible courtesy if it means you have to almost lie."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Okay, well, I'll talk to them."

"Disappointing, really. I wish Edward wasn't so protective of you two. No matter," she said and stood up, "I'll go and find my own blood."

"Almost is the key word. I do have this can of soup."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You should."

"That's probably for the best."

"Just a can of soup?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Maybe we will meet again," Scarlet murmured and walked over to the two vampires. "I need to feed," she murmured to her companion, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Just a can of soup."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Would you wish for me to accompany you?" he asked, turning to address her.

He laughed. "Sure, why not. Then we're stocking up on food."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's not necessary. Of course, you could join me, Edward," she said, looking at him with a smirk on her face.
"That wasn't funny," he muttered.

"Okay, fine," he said and pulled it out.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Of course it wasn't," the other replied, rolling his eyes.

"Good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't need your input."

"Here ya go." He tossed it to him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Indeed, indeed. Come, Scarlet. I can tell when we're not wanted."

He caught it in one hand and laughed. "Okay, I'll make the soup."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((i gotta go soon))

"A little late on that one."
"What a shame," she said, sighing dramatically.

"Damn right."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((Frown))

"Honestly, Edward, you could stand to be a little less hostile. That's no way to keep friends."

"Ouch," he murmured. "Where do you keep cooking things?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((:( ))

"I wasn't aware that you two were my friends."
"Why, we were more than friends, even," Scarlet teased, winking.

"Um."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((that was a frown))

"It was a general statement. I'm sure your real friends would understand that perfectly well."

"So how do you expect us to make soup? I mean, me to make soup."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((i will be back, however.))

"Weren't you leaving?"

"Figure it out."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((huzzah!))

"Oh, have you found a reason for us to stay?" he asked, mostly joking.

"Helpful."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Not really, no."

"There's a microwave-something or other," he said and shrugged, collapsing on the couch.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Then farewell for the time being, Edward," he said with a grand bow, and started leading Scarlet away.

"How do you have a place here and not know anything about it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"A moment," Scarlet murmured and turned to Edward, "You know where you can find me."
"What are you talking about," he started but she threw herself on him and kissed him. Edward sputtered and pushed her away. She laughed as she was forced back and then went back to the other vampire.

"I don't cook my own food, man."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

The other waved over his shoulder and they vanished into the shadows.
Mimi was conspicuously looking away.

"Then what do you eat?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward stared after them, wiping the lipstick off his mouth. After a moment, he went back and sat down.

"I order out, or get someone else to cook for me," he said and grinned, "Like you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Mimi looked up for a brief second, and then back at the table. "Feeling better?" she murmured.

"That's terribly pathetic, I hope you know."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why do you ask?"

"It's not."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Because your face is rather free of expression." Much like hers, but she wouldn't point that out.

"It really is. How old are you now and you don't know how to cook for yourself?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm trying not to upset you guys. Sorry for throwing a fit just now," he sighed.

"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I don't want to."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You're upsetting yourself more than us, I think."

"And that's terrible."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I overreacted a little."

"I don't feel guilty at all," he said, stretching out on the couch.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I see."

"I bet you don't."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What's with you?"

"And I'll just take a nap while you're making that soup," he yawned, putting his arms behind his head and shutting his eyes.
