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

((byeas!))

The rest followed soon enough, accompanied by ever curious glances by regulars.

"Coming, coming."

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

Once they got out, Edward let Ray take the lead.

((i feel like they should be attacked by Scarlet and her buddy, or ivan and his buddy xD))

"Pick up the pace."

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

((excellent idea))

"Isn't it a lovely night?"
Mimi gave him a look.
"You do not like me."
"I don't like many people."

"I know."

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

((hmm, how should this happen?))

"It's true," Ray told him.

"Yeah, yeah."

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

((good question. just slithering out of the darkness is simply not enough.))

"Thank you."

James lengthened his stride easily enough, still a little tense.

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

((exactly. i thought maybe that they could seperate..but I'm not sure how that would work))

"Mhmm."

Tom approached a small store on the road, the sign on the door reading 'Closed'. As he opened the door, a tiny bell signalled their entrance.

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

((yeah, that does seem a little unlikely.))

"Going to psychoanalyze me, now?"
"There is no need to be so harsh."

"Not closed, then, I take it," he murmured.

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

((hm..))

"But it's true, right?"

"Hey, the sign says closed!" a voice shouted from the back. It belonged to a small, bald man with a curly mustache who scuttled to the front. He stepped short when he saw Tom.
"Oh, Tom! I didn't know it was you. How are you doing?" he asked, suddenly friendly.
"Cut the small talk, Louie, I need something from you."

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

"What's true?"

James looked between the two of them, biting his lip.

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

"You're going to psychoanalyze us?"

"Sure? What'll it be?" Louis asked, rubbing his hands together.
"Guns."
Louie narrowed his eyes and his mustache twitched. "Doing another hit, Tom?"
"I'm not at the liberty to say," he replied, shrugging.
"Alright, I'll see what I have. I could get in trouble for this you know," he said and headed to the back of the store again. Tom followed, glancing back at James and indicating to follow as well.

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

He laughed. "No, that's not my intention."

James nodded and followed silently. He wondered if this store owner was just in the habit of saying facts.

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

"Then what is?"

"And that's never stopped you, has it?" Tom asked with a grin, navigating through all the junk on the floor in the back. The bald man grunted an answer and Tom laughed.
"What's with you? You sound like you have a bug on you or something."
"You'd be very unfortunate if I did," Louie told him, glancing back.

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

"I'm only trying to help."

That made James pause in his step. Maybe it was paranoia, but suddenly he didn't want to be there anymore.

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

"I don't see how."

"I'm just kidding," Louie put in, bursting into uproarious laughter, "Hey, look, I got your buddy scared. He new?"
"No, not really," Tom smiled, "An old buddy of mine. Louie, James. James, Louie."
"How ya doing?"

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

"I can go, if you'd like."

"Okay. Bit of a close call the other day. Kinda jumpy."

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

"No, stay. You seem to be the only vampire that Edward can stand."

"Don't tell me you almost got caught, Tom?" Louie asked, eyebrows raised.
"Oh no, nothing like that. So, show me what you got," he asked as they reached a room all the way in the back. There were rows and rows of metal briefcases, neat labeling on all of them.

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

"Odd change, huh?"

"Geez, you've got everything here, don't you?"

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

"I suppose."

"I like to keep myself well-stocked. You never know when the right customer will drop by," he winked and then walked over to a line of longer briefcases. He looked through them and then picked one out. He picked it up and lugged it over to a table standing off to the side.
"Now, this is your standard military-issued sniper," Louie explained, placing it on the table and flipping the locks open.
Tom grinned as the lid was opened. "This is great. You got another one of these?"

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

He nodded and fell silent.

"I'm familiar with the weapon," James piped up, nodding at the case.

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

((gtg))

"So what's this thing you were going to tell Ed?"

"We also have a bigger one, the intervention sniper rifle," he said, pulling out another briefcase.
"Hey, the bigger the better."

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

((byeas!))

"About what in particular?"

"The bigger the more conspicuous."

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

"I dunno, you just said you were going to tell him something he didn't know."

"Yeah, yeah," Tom muttered, "What else?"

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

"I tell him many things he doesn't know."

James shrugged and began to survey all the shelves.

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

"Do you now?"

"I have some standard hand guns if you'd like," Louie said.
"I'll pass. Got any hunting rifles?"
"Plenty."

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

"You underestimate me?" he asked with a small smile

"I bet."

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

"I'm not sure."

"Yeah, I'll take two of your finest."

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

"That's very well."

James nodded his agreement. Sounded good.

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

"Alright then."

"Hey, do you also have a car by any chance?" Tom asked, closing the lids of the briefcases.
"I sure do; and I'm assuming you'll need some things to practice shooting with?" Louie asked, about to head into another room to fetch the car keys.
Tom grinned. "You know it."

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

"Very good."

"I take it you tell these guys everything."

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

"So, for lack of a better question, how'd you exactly become a vampire?"

"Just enough."

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

He laughed. "You don't waste any time, do you?"

"I see."

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

"Well, it's quite a distance from here to my house, so.."

"You alright?"

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

That made him laugh more. "Fair enough. It was quite a few years ago that I was made. I don't always remember how it happened."

"Fine."

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

"No?"

"You seem tense."

((i had this one idea...))

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

"Not always. You'll find that my mind doesn't work the same way as other vampires you know."

He shrugged.

((ooh, do tell))

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

"Like the fact that your comedy isn't funny?"

"Okay," he said simply, turning his attention to Louie as the man walked back into the room. He tossed a pair of keys to Tom.
"You'll find the car, the guns, and everything else in the back alley," he told him.
"Thanks," Tom grinned, "I'll be sure to pay you in a week or so."
"Yeah, yeah, that's what you always say."

((okay, so, im thinking morgana will show up in human form as like a secretary or something at a place they need to go, but tom will be there so she and james will act as if they don't know eachother? maybe. anyway, so when tom and james are wherever they are to carry out their mission, she shows up in cat form again.
james sees her and for whatever reason decides to follow her. she leads him into some storage room in the building. she tells him that she wants him to work for her again, cause one of her other plans is to take out all the other sorceresses because they're competition [but i don't think she'll tell him that] and he'll not want to go with her, but she'll tell him that there's no going back to his friends cause they don't need him
then she'll show him with like a magic crystal ball or whatever how ed, ray, and mimi are hanging out with peter and she'll tell james that they've already found a replacement for him
and then, maybe, at some point when they all get attacked by the other vampires, ed will save mimi, and then peter could save ray and then morgana will show him that?
xD goes that sound good?))

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

"Is it not? My apologies. I'll try to cater more to your sense of humor instead of my own."
That made Mimi laugh a little, even though she tried to hide it.

"Do you always pay him back on time?" he asked as they turned to leave.

((XDDD that sounds like the best ever.))

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

"Thanks," Ray murmured, allowing a small smile.

"Sure, sure," he laughed, walking out of the store.

((woo, really? xD awesome))

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

((yesyes. XD should we start that soon?))

"Oh, you're quite welcome."

"That means no."

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

((yes xD i just really don't know how they're going to get attacked :|
or where morgana is gonna show up first, haha. what would tom need to do beforehand? figure out where they're actually going to shoot from?))

"Yeah, yeah, so go on with your story."

"Why do you doubt me?"

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

((i don't know, either.
yeah, they'd have to go do that thing in which they go to target practices. and hahaha, tom should start into explaining to james how targets work and he should shoot a bullet past his head to spite him because he still remembers))

"Mmm... yes. It was a night much like this one, actually. Peaceful but with bad intentions filling the shadows."

"Because I know you."

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

((hmm, how about ed hears something, goes to inspect...uh, peter follow? then ed tells mimi and ray to stay on the street, then boom?
and yeees, oh my god))

"Dun dun dun."

Tom laughed and turned in the direction of the side street leading to the back of the store.

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

((boom indeed!
XDD))

"I thought you might say that. I was approached by a young couple who wanted me to take their picture. I figured something was wrong right away, because it was rather dark out, but I wasn't in the mood to refuse."

"That's not a denial I hear."

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

"Okay, I'm assuming they were vampires?"

"What? What did you say?"

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

He laughed. "You assume incorrectly."

"Nothing," he replied innocently.

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

"So, then what?"

"That's what I thought," he said, approaching the car. It seemed plain enough to not be noticeable. Tom popped the trunk to reveal four gleaming suitcases.

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

"They led me over to a place they wanted to get their picture taken, and I had the camera all ready. We were on a bridge, and I was leaning against it, facing water. And suddenly I was pulled off the side. I dropped the camera as they took me. Too bad, too. It was a nice camera. Very professional."

He whistled his appreciation for the whole thing.

((gtg))

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

"And then what?"

"This is all we need. Wait, what's this?" Tom asked, reaching behind the suitcases. He unfurled a tarp, revealing a basic police target in the shape of a human body. There were several of these rolled up in the trunk. "Alright," he grinned.

((aww, byeas!))

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

"Well, before I fell to my death in the river, I was pulled under the bridge where a rather comfortable chair awaited me... upside down, however. People are very strange when they're desperate."

"Looks good."

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

"Okay..."

"Okay, hop in, I'll take us to where we need to go," he said.

((should they go in a giant field or some warehouse?))
