His blonde hair was combed back, his face freshly shaven and with a small hint of expensive cologne as to be pleasant, as most Vampires had keen sense smell, and it was meant to be alluring not overpowering.<br/><br/>The  Vampiress ( YOUR CHARACTER ) who ultimately would be making the decision, on whether or not to hire him as her Personal Nourishment Companion or PNC for short. The only thing visible to Alex was her beautiful silhouette. As she sat gazing out from the dark shadow of the darkess corner of the room, watching it all take place. She was in charge of it all.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">PNCs are blood donors that voluntarily come to live with vampires for a time period and are required to be on call twenty four hours a day, either to provide nourishment to them and their guests if asked, and or to merely entertain them, whether it be by music, accompanying them to events such as parties, or simply polite conversation, whenever and however required.... Once a contract is signed, the PNC is not allowed to quit until after one year of service has been given for any reason. Breaching such contracts are punishable by death or Imprisonment. Life as Personal Nourishment Companion is considered to be an extremely hazardous job, as many NPC's have been known to be killed, and or pressured to satisfy other carnal desires besides blood. But do to the economic collapse surprisingly for quite a few humans the healthcare benefits, the posh living, good food, and high wages are worth the risk. There is no shortage of desperate humans willing to accept the job... of course usually only the talented, attractive young humans, with the rarest blood types are selected into those positions... the interviewing process is usually long and thorough. <br/></span></span><br/><br/>At the table, were three others, one was the lawyer who would oversee the signing of the contract if he was accepted, the other was a nurse who was draw and test his blood. The third was male vampire sitting across from him with a stern lurk on his face and  a sheet full of questions in his hand.<br/><br/>"Does the sight of blood disturb you or make you want to feel nauseous or faint?" inquired the male vampire.<br/>"Why have you applied to be an PNC?" The vampire asked<br/>"Well I believe its an extremely rewarding occupation opportunity to give life. Everybody needs to eat and my self included," Alex a little to quickly, obviously it was scripted... but he was desperate, as jobs and food had been scarce. The vampire arched his eye brow, annoyed by the Alex's overly prepared little speech.<br/><br/>"How high in your opinion is your threshold for pain? Do knives make you nervous?" he inquired.<br/><br/>Alex bit his lip, a bit hesitant to answer,  "Well...I am not a pansy if thats what you want to know, and I am not afraid of anything." he declared his voice growing stronger at the end.<br/><br/>"Why do you feel like you would be a good PNC?" the vampire asked.<br/><br/>Alex turned and smiled toward the mysterious vampiress watching from where sat.  "Well I am polite, sociable and I am a good listener..." he paused noting the blank stare the man with the question sheets was giving him as he clicked his pen unimpressed. "and I am active and healthy! I play football and wrestle in college so I fit as a fiddle so I could give quite a lot of blood as well as recover quickly! And I can play the piano!"  he added quickly.<br/><br/>The male vampire smiled as he rose to his set his feet.  "Feeding can a rather intimate experience..." he began as he set his arm around the back rest of Alex's chair "How do you feel about being touched? about being close to strangers? " Ask the male vampire.<br/><br/>"I am not afraid of you or anybody," he responded confidently, when suddenly he was face to face with the vampire, staring the man into his gleaming pitch black eyes. Alex gasped he felt his cold hands slide down his neck and began caressing and massaging his throat as he leaned forward asking the next question in the form of a whisper into his ear.<br/><br/>"So this .... doesn't make you feel uncomfortable?" asked the vampire, all the while squeezing and caressing his throat.<br/><br/>Alex swallowed hard, "No," he said quickly, of course it was a lie, but he forced himself to keep still and remain calm as it was  obviously part of the test. The man smirked and glanced over toward ( Your Charracter )<br/><br/>"The boy is a bad liar," he chuckled, and then nodded to the female nurse. "Hold out your arm, she will take some blood for the mistress to sample, if she is pleased you will be required to sign this contract...." he said pausing , as the lawyer slid, a large document across the table. Basically Stating that<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">The PNC understands the high risks involved and has agreed to do this on his own free will and that his employer will not be held responsible for injuries and or death obtained while in service, Accidental or Intentional.</span></span><br/><br/>"If you willing to agree to it, we will proceed and ( Your Character the Mysterious Female Vampire)  will make the final decision," he announced.<br/><br/>Alex held his breath, as the vampire continued to rub at his throat, biting his lower lip, he picked up the quickly signed the contract. Once that was finished, the female nurse stepped forward and rolled up his sleeve, and used a needle to collect a small drop of blood on a small disc and that was went into a machine connected to a laptop. "He is clean, and his blood type  AB-," she announced excitedly. Then carefully poured a small sample into a wine glass.<br/><br/>Finally the male vampire released the young man's throat and  took the wine glass from the nurse and carefully offered it to HER  ( Your Character  ) to taste "It is extremely rare," he informed her. "How does it taste?" he asked curious and eager to know.<br/><br/>Alex shifted nervously and bit his lip as he as  waited in suspense to hear what the mysterious woman would say. The whole a interview was pretty much meaningless if she did not approve of how the blood tasted.
