It seemed something outside had caught the ragged vampire's eye, because he was turned away and looking out the window when Serah's shots went off. Which was good, what with her shooting incendiary rounds and everything.<br/><br/>The well-dressed vampire, on the other hand, had turned to arrange his coat to more easily carry the young woman, and took both shots in the chest. he screamed in pain as his dead flesh was seared away, and staggered backwards. The ragged vampire spun around to see what was going on, eyes going wide. His expression quickly changed to one of anger. "Invading my home!?" he spat. "How<em>dare</em>you!? Leave or you will pay!" He reaches behind the bed and pulls out what looks to be a sword made of bone. He brandishes it at Serah, rage in his eyes.<br/><br/>The well-dressed vampire, meanwhile, looked terrified at the fire in his chest. He shivered and tensed up, but managed to compose himself quickly. Reaching into his coat, he drew out a revolver. "I don't know who sent you, human, but they've made a grave mistake." He glared at her, fangs extending, a hiss tearing from his throat. It was scary. Supernaturally scary. A wave of fear washed over Serah, throwing off her equilibrium and making her hands shake. She was afraid. She knew it was unnatural, but if affected her all the same.<br/><br/>She was able to read her foes actions, though. The ragged one was taking up a defense stance, while the well-dressed one was drawing a bead on her. He also seemed to be... speeding up? That can't bode well...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The ragged one is now armed with a bone blade. The well-dressed one manged two successes on a difficulty 10 roll for his Dread Gaze power, inflicting a -2 on all non-casting dice pools for Serah. Serah won initiative and can see that the ragged one doesn't seem to be attacking immediately, but is taking an aggressive pose, while the well-dressed one is going to shoot and is moving faster.
