[Layla's been careful to wait until the disorientation has worn off before making a post on her NV. The Greeter has explained some of the basics, and while it's all a little hard to swallow, she's aware that she's not being lied to.

When she turns on her NV, the network gets to see a teenage girl with red eyes, dark hair, and an odd skull hairpin that's matching her facial expressions, if one is watching closely enough. Another detail the more observant denizens might pick up on is her long incisor teeth, but only if they look carefully. She's not showing her fangs off.]

Hello, Siren's Port. My name is Layla Delacroix. I'm not from around here and I've got a few questions for you. First things first: have any of you seen my little sister, Nina? She's got green eyes, purple and black hair, she's tiny, friendly, and she loves chocolate. She'll probably be totally freaking out, so if you find her, give her some chocolate and let her know that Layla's going to come and find her, all right? Also, if anyone's seen people named Tiffany Winters, Diodore Renoir, or Kade Whiteclaw, let me know.

[Even with just the limited information she's managed to learn so far, Layla really doesn't like the idea of her innocent little sister running around here unattended.]

Second: I need blood. I'm ah...severely anemic. I also get very bad sunburns, so it would be better if we met after dark. Help a girl out? I can't exactly go and get a job if I'm too out of it to work.

[No one will figure out that she's a vampire, right? Of course not.]

Third: Cute clothes. Anyone know where I can find some in this city? As nice as my dress is, wearing it every single day is all kinds of tacky.

[She makes a face. Whether it's the idea of wearing the same thing every day or her next question that she finds distasteful is anyone's guess.]

Oh. And my fourth and last question - is anyone hiring for later shifts? I'm kind of a night person.

Well, I don't want to kill anyone, you know? I just want to drink what I need. I try to have small regular portions. Anyone I bite is usually fine after some orange juice and a snack.

Ever take up pigs blood?

There weren't any farms near where I lived. Usually, I just kept blood in a thermos to sip throughout the day.

Called a butcher shop, dog; they sell it.

[Layla's about to object to the use of 'dog' - that was for werewolves, thank you very much - but then she blinks.]

Really? ...humans buy it?

Yeah; guess it's used for fancy meals, or something.

Well, that's one way to keep from wasting the blood. I'll have to make a few calls to butcher shops, then.

[Faith isn't sure when she started paying so much care to the upkeep of vamps, but...] You settling alright?

(ooc: I'm assuming all conversations are happening on the initial day of the post.)

Well, some of the shock's worn off, at least. Too bad there isn't a way to send a message to my friends, though. I was on a double date when I got pulled here.

Never know, dog; might show up.

ooc: noted; ...was that the one with a certain (unknown) vampire hunter? :|a

To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want them to. I do want to go home and see them, but things are all kinds of messed up and complicated and not at all like I'd planned.

(ooc: Yes. She's taken from the current storyline, right after she's introduced Tiffany to the boys.)

Say that like things are supposed to go right.

ooc: I'm not sure which of them to feel sorry for yet. :|a

I suppose I should have guessed things were going to get weird when Dio thought I was setting Kade up with Tiffany instead of him.

(ooc: I think I feel bad for everyone except for Kade and Ash in that storyline)

What? You used to things going by plan?

ooc: With Layla gone? I'm even a little worried for Kade.

...But just a little. It's Tiffany. :| Not that she's bad at what she does? But she's... Tiffany. :|

Well, I've had to make adjustments, but usually, yes. I have a boyfriend and an arranged fiancee that my parents didn't bother mentioning until recently. I was trying to set my arranged fiancee up with my friend.

[It's already an awkward situation without getting into Dio's delusions.]

So... what? Too many men? [Seriously? That's your problem? Faith isn't that impressed. Girl's gonna live forever and she's got too many men.]

More like awkward misunderstandings. Dio, my arranged fiancee, thought I was setting Kade, my boyfriend, up with Tiffany. And even though Kade knew he was my date, he was hitting it off really well with Tiffany.

[And flirting with the waitress.]

Tiffany...also doesn't know that Dio and I are vampires and that Kade's a were-cat. I haven't quite figured out how to tell her without freaking her out.

"Sounds like we've got worse brewing around here, anyhow."

You're right. Being kidnapped in a strange city and having to adjust to it is definitely worse than relationship issues. Maybe spending a little time away from home will be enough to help me sort things out.

I really hope my little sister isn't here, though.

She a handful?

Nina is the baby of the family and we've always let her be the baby. I wouldn't want someone as innocent as her in a city like this. She's fourteen, but she acts younger than she is sometimes. Sweet kid, though.

...How young we talking?

She'll act closer to ten years old sometimes. She's also short for her age, so she looks more like a ten or eleven year old who started puberty a little early.

She got any restraint?

Mostly, yes. Unless you have chocolate in hand and she's hungry. Nina's...an abnormal vampire. She's weaker than a normal vampire, but she needs chocolate to live instead of blood. We've never figured out why.
