Neo watched as Aderyn shifted her appearance from someone who resembled a cosplayer from a fantasy series, to a more vogue one in a matter of seconds. He grimaced out of amusement, as he liked how the fae woman transformed herself when he told them of how they supposedly looked obvious in public. Andy also saw it too, but she was surprised instead. It was her very first encounter with the so-called fair folk, as some mages from the Temple discussed it back in a past that didn't seem to matter to her at first. Only now it did, because all that was said about them are now being demonstrated right before her eyes.<br/><br/>"Damn," Neo reacted. "Now ya' look mo' sexy, bitch. Makes me wanna fuck ya' muhself, really."<br/><br/>"Neo, please," Andy reacted. "Can't you be anymore crass? You see a fae and she looks like runway material, and the first thing that comes into your mind is sticking your dick into her?"<br/><br/>"Ain't nuffin' wrong wit' that," Neo replied to her. "I ain't gonna fuck no centaur o' an'thang that's like fuckin' an actual animal."<br/><br/>"No, I mean, that's how you want her to remember you? Is that the impression you want to leave?" She kept poking him with questions, feeling disappointed at his behavior.<br/><br/>"Andy, I hadda vamp' gurl back in the 60s in Cali, when I wuz a fuckin' hippie, aw'ight?" He explained himself. "I told ya' way back in the resto that I wanna fuck 'er, didn't I?"<br/><br/>"I thought you were joking." Andy said, then sighed. She was somewhat disappointed at how he acted, especially that he was the more experienced mage between the two of them.<br/><br/>Neo turned back to Aderyn and said, "But yeah, das bettah. Wit' lotsa mofo's out t'ere just tearin' people apart, tha usual folk's gotta be shittin' their pants outta fear 'n' be wary of any freaky lookin' sunnavabich in the streets. Besides..." He looked towards Islywn's direction. "...Ya' said that ya' lil' guys gon' be taken too, did ya?"<br/><br/>"So, wait, someone's also kidnapping lesser fae?" Andy asked. "Now that's curious."<br/><br/>"Andy's damn righ', that shit ain't right if ya' think 'bout it." Neo affirmed her. "Dat only begs anudda' question: why dey do dat? So I decided that, maybe, if I holla at y'all, I'mma gonna get me some answers too. Or an'thin' that's going to make it clear who's taking who' an' why are likes of you ar' going in a Midwest East Jesus of Nowhere."<br/><br/>"And not mention that we've lost a couple mages trying to investigate that Old Nuclear Research Facility out there in the plains." The redhead interjected right after Neo was done talking. "We don't know where they are now there and what happened to them."<br/><br/>"Yeah, dat too." Neo acknowledged her. "And speaking of freaks, ya feel dat, Andy?" He turned towards her.<br/><br/>"Wait..." Andy looked around the penthouse, as if she was searching for something. She felt a mass of force coming from a direction she can't point out exactly where, but she knew it was a force that didn't come from the fae couple, neither did it came from the fireplace. "...That feels ghostly, like dead people."<br/><br/>"Yeah, dead nigs. And they still walkin'." Neo nodded. "Or, yanno, runnin' and tryin' to get sum' o' dat free beer 'ere. Hoppin' an' climbin'."<br/><br/>"They're getting close, coming from the right!" Andy looked at the direction she specified.<br/><br/>"Reminds me of my Cali vamp gurl," Neo said, drawing out his M1911 handgun. "An' speakin' of vamps, huh?"<br/><br/>Since all of the apertures to the penthouse were left open, it became apparent when a human-like figure climbed up from the side of the building onto the rooftop, by stepping over to the edge as if it was in a stair. The figure was that of a woman, with long black hair, unnaturally pale skin and red eyes. She wore a black sleeveless shirt that made her shapely figure apparent, black jeans and stiletto shoes. A few more human-like figures soon appeared in the same way as her, all sharing the inhuman complexion and eye color.<br/><br/>The woman who showed up suddenly remarked, "This is strange. Here I thought that a coven of us was having a ritual, but I only found a couple cattle and a couple of fae. Is this an invitation, a death wish, a challenge or an insult?"<br/><br/>One of her companions commented, "I guess the fae have created an energy beacon to attract attention and leave the fate of the two mortals to us as they escape."<br/><br/>"If this is how you think it is, Jacques," The woman in black said, "Then the fae think we are fools to be used. We might as well as not honor their wish of getting away to safety."<br/><br/>In one fluid motion, she threw a throwing knife towards Aderyn's direction, initiating an attack.
