2 Bites || [Action]

[died_a_virgin]

[Ah, the night time. The best time for a Draculina to go out and about. Despite having wings, she's not flying. She's just walking around, trying to figure out where everything is.

With all of the crazy things that have been going on recently, she's just chosen to keep to herself and watch out for Integra or her Master. She hadn't found either one of them in the few weeks that she arrived, but she hoped that they were all right.

The town was quite a change from what she was used to, but she liked it and was thankful that she didn't have to worry about killing Nazi vampires here. She could just relax for the most part and be herself.

She still needed to pay attention though and nearly ran into somepony.]

I'm sorry!

[hattrickery]

"Oh, no, my fault, shouldn't have been walking around while I was invisible."

...oh hey that is a blue pegasus with a sweet hat slowly fading back into visibility there.

[died_a_virgin]

Well, that certainly was interesting. "Are you ok?"

[hattrickery]

"Oh, sure! Takes more than a little bump to do anything to Ponyville's Guardian Angel!"

Slight pause as her wings ruffle.

"You're new, aren't you?"

[died_a_virgin]

[Guardian Angel? Well, that was new to her. She nodded a bit.]

I am. My name is Seras, Seras Victoria.

[hattrickery]

"I'm Hayate!"

A grin as she spreads out her wings.

"Welcome to Ponyville!"

[died_a_virgin]

Thank you.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Skyfire blinked and looked at the... pony? who'd just walked right into the side of his tail. He couldn't help but wonder just how she could have missed him. At 30 feet long, with a mostly white and red body... those had to some distracted thoughts.]

It's alright... Are you okay?

[died_a_virgin]

[The batpony wasn't paying attention. That's how she managed to miss the large dragon. Its not easy to adjust from being a vampire to being a vampire batpony.]

Y-yes. I'm fine. I'm just not used to being...well...this.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He chuckles softly and nods.]

Yes, it does take some getting used to doesn't it?

... Would you like some company for awhile? [Skyfire liked meeting new people... and maybe he could keep her from walking into anyone else.]

[died_a_virgin]

I don't mind at all.

[She gives him a friendly smile. Her fangs are a bit longer than most normal batponies, but its not like she's going to put them to use on anyone.]

I'm Seras Victoria.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

My name is Skyfire. It's nice to meet you.

[He smiles at her and tilts his head a bit. He's curious about her, but he doesn't want to pry too much.]

Is there anything that I can show you the location of? I'm finally managing to learn where everything is around here.

[died_a_virgin]

I'm just wandering. I don't even know what is all here.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Well... Would you like a tour then? I could show you around a bit.

I'm still getting used to everything, but at least I can show you what I've found?

[mithrarin]

What -- ?!

[Dust's reflexes aren't appropriate to Ponyville at all, but they're reflexes and he can't stop them. That's why, as soon as they bumped into each other, the pegasus leaped away, and now faces her from a few feet back, one foreleg raised and the Blade of Ahrah floating next to it as if he were gripping it.]

[died_a_virgin]

Gah!

[The blade is what startled the batpony. She hadn't moved when she ran into someone, but she probably could have to keep up the illusion that she didn't have as much strength as she did.]

I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention!

[mithrarin]

[Dust holds his pose for a moment longer, looking at her... probably, because his hat hid his eyes. Then he visibly relaxed, lowing his raised foreleg as the sword rotated to lie flat against it, as if under its own power.]

You must have something heavy on your mind to keep you that distracted. [Says a stallion who must have been equally distracted.]

[died_a_virgin]

As peaceful as this place is, things are very different back where I'm from. I was ready for a war.

[It was nice being in such a nice place, but she had battles to fight and a city to save back home.]

[mithrarin]

[For some reason, this brings a genuine smile to Dust's face.]

If only it were that simple. Battles come every now and them, but for the most part, you'll find it peaceful here, with warriors... not needed.

[died_a_virgin]

It is nice here. I like the quiet, but I just want to get back and help my friends.

[She looks a bit sad here, but she shakes herself out of it.]

My life hasn't quite been the same for a while.

[mithrarin]

If that's something you can say when you just got turned into a pony...

[Dust pauses, as it occurs to him that he only can't say the same because his life before coming here had been measured in the span of days.]

Actually, I don't suppose that's so uncommon.

[died_a_virgin]

Oh, I don't mean becoming a pony. I meant before I got here.

[She paused, thinking about how to word this next statement.]

Well, you see, I'm a vampire.

[mithrarin]

[There's just a flicker of reaction, a quickly-suppressed desire to drop back into a more defensive posture. But all Dust ends up doing is tugging slightly on the brim of his hat.]

Are you still, though? Unless you were a pony before, that might have changed too.

[therealrisette]

Ah...!

[In this particular case, 'nearly' was near enough that the bat pony practically bowled over a small, barely-teenage (if that) unicorn. What the pink filly with the twintailed mane is doing out so late is anybody's guess.

At the moment, she just needs to steady herself on her hooves. At least she's been here long enough that she's used to having them!]

I-it's okay! [There, perfectly upright again! She does her best to give the... pegasus (?) a reassuring smile.] Really, I'm fine!

[Never mind that a pony nearly twice her size just knocked the wind out of her. It was an accident! She doesn't want her to feel bad about it!]

It's a little hard to see out here, huh?

[died_a_virgin]

I wasn't paying attention.

[Here, have a helping hoof to get you up.] I can see perfectly fine. I'm just not used to being like this.

[At least the larger pony seems nice enough. She gives a friendly smile, showing a pair of small fangs that were probably hard to see in the darkness. Still she backs up a step and looks around.]

This is such a nice town.

[therealrisette]

Oh! Did you just get here, too?

[Now that she's been helped back up, Rise gives the older pony her brightest, friendliest smile. It really is hard to see in the dark, though... why did she even come out this late? She thinks she can see well enough to tell where everything is and the general landscape, so hopefully she didn't stray too far from the Agency...]

[died_a_virgin]

I haven't been here for very long. I can't really go out in the day time, but I can after the sun sets.

[If she needs help getting back, Seras would be glad to help her out. The Draculina-turned-batpony could see just fine. It was one of the few perks of being a vampire, well, that and not having a huge gaping hole in her chest.]

[therealrisette]

[Rise still hasn't put together the whole bat wings thing yet, so not being able to go out in the daytime sounds kind of unusual.]

Me too! I think it's been a little more than a week... but I'm definitely getting used to everything!

[She proudly declares that as if she didn't just get bowled over by a bigger pony.]

... It really is hard to see, though...

[Yeah, now she's starting to worry. She can't find anything familiar nearby, and while she thinks she knows where she came from, she can't be certain anymore now that the collision threw her for a loop.]

[died_a_virgin]

Oh, I can see just fine. Are you trying to find some place?

[She may not know the area very well, but she can see better than Rise can and can point things out or even help walk her back home.]

[therealrisette]

Well, it's...

[She's kind of embarrassed about this now. She thought she'd be okay out on her own in a place like this, but she hadn't counted on getting lost in the dark.]

... Do you know where the Investigation Agency is? I... kinda live there now.

[superstylishsquid]

*Nearly, luckily, being the operative word. Alastor's on duty at the Night Market, which unfortunately sometimes being on the ground, and he notices the other batpony hasn't seen him just in time to take to the sky and avoid being walked into.*

Don't worry about it. Lost or just sightseeing?

[died_a_virgin]

A bit of both actually. I don't really know my way around the town yet and I haven't seen everything. Its rather difficult when you can't go out during the day.

[She lifts a hoof and idly scratches the back of her head for a moment.]

I still don't know how to use my wings properly either.
