Sanctuary for Reapers was anywhere the sun was not.  Vaas often wondered what others did about that.  Reapers other than Jared and himself, that is, as they were the only ones capable of thought and speech.  In the city’s bowels, he and Jared had chanced upon a secluded alcove that would perfectly serve as their refuge from the sun’s merciless rays.  It undoubtedly lacked even the most basic of amenities, but then, the pair of Reapers didn’t require much (if anything) in the form of comfort.  As long as Mr. Sun remained banished from their safe haven, all was right in their world.<br/><br/>And as good fortune smiled upon them, their asylum was roughly five to six floors below ground level of a vampire safe house called<i>The House of Pain.  </i>They had since learned that this so-called safe house was a dance club of sorts, while also catering to all manner of vampire fetishes and debauchery.  Jared and Vaas never lacked for prey, as when the need to feed arose, they would pick off solo stragglers from the club, or even pairs.  They never shared a kill, as the addictive taste of vampire blood was far too sweet to dole out.<br/><br/>It was Vaas who had come up with an unsolicited nickname for their retreat.  He used a play on words of<i>The House of Pain</i>whilst also retaining a rhyme.  Since vampire blood was always consumed completely prior to heads being lopped off, he had dubbed their hideout<i>The Drain.  </i>When used, the name never failed to elicit a smirk of sorts from either Jared or Vaas, depending on who had said it.  As in, “I’ll see you back at<i>The Drain</i>” or “Meet me at<i>The Drain.”</i><br/><br/>Dawn was still a few hours away, but since the Reaper had just recently fed on the stalking female vampire, he saw no reason to remain on the city’s streets.  As a human, he probably would have eagerly searched for a party of some kind.  But as a Reaper, he already experienced his “party,” compliments of the lady vampire left in the alley.<br/><br/>Vaas was now heading to<i>The Drain</i>as he had news to share with Jared.  Correction.  Make that<i>delicious </i>news to share with Jared.  Smiling at the thought, he wondered what the being who had turned him was up to this fine evening.
