Turn This Up A Notch {{OpEN}}

[Isi Runasimi]

“If anyone was nice they never would have got you hooked onto drugs in the first place.” Isi muttered as she watched Seras curl into a ball and drift away to sleep. It was kind of cute how the girl was curled into a ball like a kitten. Isi sighed once to herself before drifting away in her own sleep. She was defenseless for the vampire could have risen and killed her! In a way, Isi admired those hooked on drugs. They would feel undying pleasure before taking a bad batch and dying, or there was the death of the streets. Alright, not so much. But they got to escape into their own fantasy world. “N’ight.” Isi muttered as she curled up with her gun. It was actually morning but a hunter had to live the life of a vampire and that meant waking during the night or a few hours before it so they wouldn't be tired.

Feeling restless, Seras curled up tighter into a ball before finally waking up a bit to spin in a few circles as she again laid back down to rest. It didn't really do anything for her though because now she was awake, addicted to drugs, and scared. The feeling of being alone overtook her harder than anything ever and while biting her lip, the girl crawled up into bed with Isi and laid down, cuddling next to her. She just wanted to be with someone, anyone, and hoped her master wouldn't wake up and be upset though she knew that that would probably happen. Feeling tired again Seras tried to sleep but couldn't. Slowly she reached into the nightstand and rummaged around in the dark, hoping to somehow come across some heroin but she wasn't that lucky. Her body began to shake and crave the drug even more. The vampire started to cry and just cuddled close to Isi.

Isi woke up with Seras right near her. It was kind of comforting but Isi still checked her neck in the mirror. She slammed off her early alarm for six PM yawning. This was her usual time to get out of bed. She made her way around her room and turned off the various alarms since it was hard to wake up. And then she stepped into the shower. After drying herself off she put on her black hunting outfit. She pulled out a second outfit for Seras whenever she woke up.

Isi began to place her gun holsters and then her various guns and weapons on her person. She would let Seras sleep until it was dark enough for the vampires to wake. And then they would hunt. Seras would have to earn her keep.

Seras half woke up a few times during the day but each time she felt around and it felt cold to not have Isi there beside her. Finally about halfway through the afternoon she couldn't sleep no more and sat up, her vision still blurry. But the drug cravings hadn't ever left her. Almost immediately her arm began itching for a needle and no matter how long she would scratch at it it only became worse. Her fangs grew out and eventually the vampire began biting into her arm, tearing at it with her sharp teeth until she was satisfied enough to calm herself. Though she still wanted drugs. Seras again searched through the nightstand and began carefully poking through the various dressers and closets in the large room. She missed Isi.

Isi began to pick through her weapons trying to find something that she could entrust to Seras. She thought that there was a 99% chance the vampire could turn on her. But Isi was willing to see how this would turn out, if it was a trap of such. Isi found spare holsters for Seras. She would pack the girl with guns and silver blades. If the girl proved she had no taste for killing vampires then maybe she could be fit as a maid or something. But Isi needed to see where the girl’s loyalties lied.

Isi fiddled with her hair in the mirror. It laid straight and she didn’t bother to run a brush through it. Hopefully the car parked out in front of her house would be removed by the owners. Scraping cars were more trouble than they were worth. Isi had never done such a thing but she could find people. But it was just too risky to scrap a car. Those operations were always being shut down by the Sheriff’s Office and sometimes even FBI. The money wasn’t even good.

“Seras wake up,” Isi shouted as she entered her room to find Seras already awake. Isi saw her drawers and such were open. As if the girl was searching for something. “Oh yeah, the drugs.” Isi muttered to herself. She had absolutely no experience with drug addicts. It was only an uneducated guess that Seras needed more drugs. “We have really got to get you off the stuff,” Isi muttered as she handed Seras her own cell phone. “Call your supplier or whoever. We’re going out tonight! I can’t have you like - - that.”

[serasalcaste]

"b-b-but I haves more... at my house..." Seras pleaded with Isi as her lip trembled in fear. She stared down at the cell phone and felt strange to be given something so valuable, especially after what she had done. "Can we... can we go.... there..." Her voice trailed off quietly before the girl shut herself up and had tears in her eyes. She could only imagine how much hatred and disgust Isi had for her right then. It drover her mad inside. Even still, her body craved to return to her hotel room and get more drugs. She had plenty hidden away there. Pounds of the stuff even.

Isi stared down at Seras. Her eyes probably showed disgust and distaste. But it wasn’t as if she could help it. Isi always looked down upon everyone who wasn’t Isi. “You have more at your house?” Isi repeated. She was trying to figure out that if Seras had a home why was she staying at the Palace? But it was nice to get away. She had the feeling she was falling deeper and deeper into a trap. Why would a vampire want to be her maid? Isi was imagining some old Brownstone that lay along Fifth Avenue. Isi would love to live in one of those! But she wouldn’t have nearly as many escape routes so she settled for her large estate home. “Alright, let’s go!”

Isi turned out of the room hoping Seras would follow her. She took her black tote bag from the kitchen table which she had prepped with various hunting tools: wooden stakes, more guns, liquid silver bullets, blessed crosses and blessed holy water, among a few knickknacks. She opened the house door to the garage which was filled with three un modest cars: Aston Martin, Lotus, Telsa Roadster. They would take the Aston Martin. Isi did wonder if Seras knew how to drive defensively. The Aston Martin was silver painted but currently it looked Blue with paint which would peel off if need be. Blue was the most in descriptive color ever, and there was no way someone would confuse it with silver.

Isi tossed the black bag in the trunk. “So where’s your home?” Isi muttered as she got in the driver’s seat. She tossed Seras’ black outfit in the back seat. Perhaps she had something of her own to where.

[serasalcaste]

Seras continued to wander about in her purple outfit, not feeling very comfortable as she listened carefully to every word her master spoke to her and followed obediently. "At the palace, silly..." She whispered fearfully while stepping into the car but only after her Isi. Immediately she felt strange and dirty being in such a nice auto. It was like she wasn't fit for such a fancy car no matter how much she'd like to have been. The girl had come a long way from an eccentric, proper lady. A bit of her mannerful behaviors remained, but for the most part her vampirism and heavy drug abuse was ruining her entirely. She dozed in and out of a slumber, her eyes growing heavy with fatigue and withdrawal.

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi pulled out of the garage, using the automatic door closer to close the door behind the car. “You live at the Palace?” Isi sounded really impressed. She had never heard of anyone living in a hotel before. Not one as fancy at the palace. Seras’ room had to cost at least one grand a day. That was seven thousand a week, twenty-eight thousand a month. That was a lot of money to be spending on a hotel room. Isi would have bought a Brownstone along Fifth Avenue if she was Seras. “Oh. When I got to your room it was open and slightly ransacked.” Isi only thought to tell the girl what she had seen. But come to think of it maybe Seras had done that. Isi pulled into VIP parking, the only parking they seemed to have and let the carhop take over her car only after she had gotten the bag from the trunk. Like she needed a nosy person finding her guns. .

[serasalcaste]

"Only... this month Miss Isi.... " Seras bit her lip and took a deep breath trying to calm her cravings. "I think next month I want to go to the Roosevelt." She sighed heavily and did her best to keep her eyes open. For a few minutes at a time the entire car ride the girl had been dozing off. Now she stepped out of the car and looked up at the Palace. "I'm heaps sorry... I don't like my roomy being dirty but... " She began to cry softly and offered to take Isi's bag. "They wont like it if YOU beep through the door.... but they don't mind me at all." Of course Seras had been on awkwardly great terms with all the doorman and lobby boys, even to a point of paying them off should she ever set off the metal detectors they had about.

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi remained quite silent when Seras said she wished to lodge in the Roosevelt next month. Isi thought that the girl would remain with her. As Isi had her bag taken away from she let out a loud, “Hmph!” But in all truth she knew Seras to be right. All the damn security was a bad thing for a vampire hunter. “Alright, alright. Let’s hurry and get out of here. Too much security bothers me.” Isi found herself admitting. It actually most likely wasn’t a good thing to admit to a vampire.

[serasalcaste]

Seras promptly returned the bag to Isi after they traveled through the lobby, wearing an apologetic look for she wished to carry it for her but new her master enjoyed keeping her weapons to herself for safety reasons. Once in the elevator, the doorman gave Seras a familiar nod, but a questionable glance towards her outfit and rough exterior. It looked like she had had one heck of an evening the night prior, and being out in what bit of sun had been left in the day didn't help her skin look all too much more pleasant.

Once they were finally in Seras' apartment, it was like Isi had sad. Trashy and horrible, but yet in the day or so that had passed, without even a little sign on the door outside, the maids hadn't attended to it. Perhaps everyone knew how Seras enjoyed her privacy at times. She must have paid them swell to stay in the suite undisturbed no matter what.

"I'm sorry, Miss Isi.... its heaps dirty in here..." She frowned and walked over to the bed. Reaching around underneath it, the girl produced a smaller duffle bag and upon checking its contents she was happy to know it was still completely full of needles. There were probably enough to inject the entire hotel staff and inhabitants, but the girl's drug craving body was too selfish for that. She went to the other side and again pulled out a smaller bag, but this one was full of vacuum-sealed plastic bags with white powdery bricks of cocaine and heroin inside. Each bag was neatly marked as either, and had the exact weight written on them as well. There must have been pounds upon pounds of each drug. Seras smiled and grabbed both.

"Okay....." She whispered.

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi was glad to take her bag back. Nothing “beeped” so to speak but perhaps such a system got turned off when someone of great wealth walked through. “Dear God,” Isi muttered to herself. The United States of American and Americans could only hope that no one of great wealth decided to become a kamikaze terrorist. It was then Isi realized what she had spoken. It was in no way related to Seras. It was security related. The little vampire was too damn sensitive. Of course if she wasn’t such a weak soul Isi would have but not one good reason to keep her around. Isi wasn’t too polite to not ask. “Did you vandalize this place or was it someone else?” She watched with good nature standing nearest the door as Seras took with her several hidden bags. No one really liked searching under the bed. Isi had no idea what was in those large bags. Surely they couldn’t be drugs. Drugs were supposed to be small, they were large bags. Clothes. Isi thought they were clothes. “Alright, let’s get going.”

[serasalcaste]

"But Miss Isi... these are just..." Seras slowly put the bags down beside the doorway Isi stood in and looked up at her, biting her lower lip. "May... May I go fetch my... clothes n makeup too... pretty please?" The girl was trembling just being beside Isi and speaking to her. She was incredibly nervous and knew her master was perhaps curious about what was in her duffle bags if not clothing. Slowly unzipping the one, Seras showed Isi they were full of bricks of white powder.

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi let out a long and noticeably loud sigh. She knew that it most certainly was not clothing inside the bags but the vampire’s drugs. Seras had asked to go back to her home for the drugs. Isi most certainly knew that there was not clothing in the bag but most times it was nice to remain blissfully ignorant. She pressed her two fingers to her temple, “Yes, yes. Take everything you want. I just thought you only had one outfit.” Isi made a waving gesture for Seras to get all of the things needed.

Isi leaned against the wall as she shook her head deep in thought. Finally she spoke again, slightly to herself but also to Seras. “You do know that if you’re … we’re caught with that much whatever it is, we’re going to get arrested with something like “intent to sell” or distribute, and I’d really like to not go to jail if that’s even at all possible.” Seras would get caught with enough drugs to supply a crack house and Isi would get charged with enough weapons to supply an underground war. Super!

Isi sighed as she crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and watched Seras move about the room gathering whatever she needed to gather. All the while she kept hoping to herself that she just didn’t fuck herself in the ass by the whole Seras thing. Isi was quite possibly regretting the whole not killing the vampire in the alley when she had a chance. Let alone bringing the vampire into her home. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. It was too late to really do anything about it except kill the girl. Isi had invested in the girl and she would see that this investment paid off. She wouldn’t kill the girl unless she proved she would be unbeneficial to Isi’s cause.

“We’ve got places to go. And things to do!” Isi reminded though Seras seemed to be doing her best to hurry. Isi wasn’t going to say what they had to do in case there was an audio being recorded in the room. She doubted it but it would be a very cold day in Florida before she said, ‘We’re going vampire hunting’ to anyone. But Seras should know what Isi meant when she said, ‘things to do’ – Hopefully. There may have been visual recordings in Seras room but Isi was praying that the room was too dark for the cameras to capture the white bricks and that Seras had deeply paid them off to turn cameras off. Otherwise the cops would have been breaking down the door ages ago since Seras may have been living here for quite a while – Right?
