So Lia and I have this habit of going clubbing. It's not like anyone else is around. Kayta disappeared, Al and Kernel are still in San Francisco, and Poly comes and goes as he wishes. So Lia and I go amuse ourselves at clubs. We usually end up at Ground Zero or Crimson Frenzy. Well I asked Lia to get me a barstool. She wanted to know which one. So I pointed to a barstool, it happens to be occupied by a large burly man. Lia just grins, and walks over to the man. I wasn't serious, I should have known better then to tempt Lia. Ah well. So Lia walks over to the man, she mentions that her friend would like this barstool, and points to me. The man told us to get our own barstool. Lia grinned as that's ok with her. Lia looks at the man and mentions that she's choosing his barstool. The mans friend jumps into the verbal fray, and wants to know why I can't demand my own barstool. I just smiled innocently at them, mostly because I know what's coming. *smirk* Normally I hate violence, but damn!, watching Lia kick some red neck ass was fun. It was like payback for high school. Whoops got ahead of myself again. Well Lia just laughs and pulls them off their barstools, and pretty much beats up on them. As soon as the large mans barstool was vacated, I decided to sit and watch the fight. He was not amused, but he and his friend left, apparently getting their collective asses kicked by a girl wasn't their idea of a fun night. I think they want payback. Think I'll go hide behind Kayta if they catch up with me. Well I suppose this has started a family outing. We get bored, and the family leaves to go get me a barstool, Awe aren't they so nice? *grin*
Well Lia and I are at another bar, on yet another night. And we go about acquiring our barstools in the usual manner. Well tonight there were four guys. We miss counted, mainly because two were somewhere else in the club. Opps. *sigh* OKOK you can stop worrying. I didn't get hurt. *grin* Four guys and Lia. Poor guys. *smirk* Seems another gentleman nearby decided that four guys against Lia, and I was just a little unfair. He stepped into the fray on our side. Awe wasn't that nice of him? I get to stay out of the fight, as usual, *grin* and Lia lets the nice man kick some ass. Personally I thought Lia liked the man. Oh he's called Todd.
I get this call from Denali, she tells me that Dagger wants to met up with me. That it's perfectly safe, all he wants to do is talk. She wants me to go to GZ to meet up with him, "Safe" territory. What the hell. I'm bored, and I'm curious too. I decide to grace Dagger with my presence. Aren't I nice? So I press some buttons letting Denali know that I heard her. Interesting thing too. I was on the subway, and the next stop is the one I needed to get to GZ. So I wander into GZ and up to the Atomic Lounge. Denali looked a bit surprised that I was there so soon. Daggers there. Joy. She was serious. He and Denali talk a bit longer, and he heads back downstairs. Denali tells me that he had given her his word that I wouldn't be harmed. That he was only here to talk. She also said that she would be watching though the closed circuit camera. Denali goes on to say that she would be there if he tried anything. Um OK. So I go down to see Dagger.
Dagger's got this bottle sitting on the table. I'm wondering what's in it. I pull out the portable, and load up my 'voice' I hand Dagger the headphones. I don't think he knew about my new 'voice'. So we 'talk'. Dagger is making this offer. He wants to barter my voice, for Poly's promise. In other words I would get to speak, but Poly would have to promise not to ambush Dagger and Adrian (then arch-bish). Told Dagger all I could do was bring the request to Poly. Dagger tells me no deal. Said that I would guarantee a promise, or I would not get my voice back. Told me all he had to do was shatter the bottle and my voice would be gone forever. I got slightly annoyed about that. Asked Dagger who would keep the bottle? Dagger's response was us. the sabbat. Asked him what would prevent him from stealing my voice at any point in time in the future. Dagger's response? 'Trust.' Hello? Do I look stupid? Told him no. Then informed him that all I could do was bring the request to Poly. Dagger again tells me no deal. He said you can persuade Poly. I tell Dagger that he has too much confidence in my abilities to influence Poly. Dagger's getting a bit pissy as things aren't going according to his grand little plan. Denali notices this, and is coming down the stairs. Dagger notices Denali. He looks back at me, and then to Denali. He then has the nerve to suggest that Denali and I use our looks and bodies to influence Poly. That_pissed_me_off. I told him no. Denali walks into the office. Daggers thrown down the headphones guess I'm not talking to him anymore. He and Denali talk. Dagger off handedly mentions that he doesn't need weapons to kill both Denali and I. I'm a bit blasé about that. Mostly because I know that anybody could kill me with out breaking a sweat. Personal threats don't really affect me anymore. *smirk* So Dagger gets really pissed off, and I figure that my life expectancy just dropped into the non existent range. Dagger then tells me that the next time I see Poly I can tell him that he is going to enjoy diablorizeing him. I winced. That is not going to go over well. Told Dagger that I would pass on the message. The next thing Dagger does is grab the bottle, and throw it at the wall shattering it. Denali is yelling NO! And I'm screaming STOP! Yes. Screaming. I've got a voice back. Surprised the hell out of me. Surprised Denali too. Asked Dagger why. He tells us that it was so everybody wouldn't think that he was some cold hearted bastard. Dagger leaves leaving behind a rather pissy aura. Denali goes to sulk. I think she kind of likes Dagger.
I figure I better go tell Poly about this new development. I hook up the portable to the cell phone, and call Poly. I type to him saying Something happened, and that I really need to talk to him. I swear I felt him twitch over the phone line *smirk* I love doing that to him. Anyway, Poly comes to pick me up. We go back to his place. Yah I moved out again. I stay silent the whole time. Mostly because I'd rather not be in a car crash. Poly's just talking about stuff. We get back to his place, and were still in his garage when he wants to know what's up. So I tell him. Got my voice back. I think I actually heard the thud of Poly's jaw hitting the floor. Have I mentioned how much I love doing that to him? *giggle* As I'm trying to figure out how to pick up Poly's jaw off the floor, he recovers. We go inside, he wants to know what happened. I tell him.
