The night time is the right time....(Meaning even moar vamps)

[She's sitting with her rifle outside, it has been taken apart and she's cleaning it. But it's rather dark, but she can see it just fine. She doesn't look to be in a good mood either.]

How am I supposed to keep this from the Colonel? Kind of hard to explain why I can't stay out in the sun for too long... [Ya, she's muttering to herself.]


(OOC: I couldn't help myself...had to do vampire!Riza.))

[She barely glances up before drawing a pistol and aiming it at him.]

Now is not the best of times to mess with me.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Raises a slight eyebrow]

I'm not messing with anyone. [Points down to the roof he's standing on] It's a free building. I've been standing here for a while.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

[She holsters the pistol and then finishes with her rifle]

You've been watching me for a while. Have you never seen a female vampire before?

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

Hm? I have.

I'm just unsettled by the sudden influx of our kind into one town.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I got here. I was going to report to Colonel Mustang...but apparently I ended up in this place instead. [She slings her rifle on her shoulder and then jumps up to stand in front of him.]

I'm Riza Hawkeye.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

Seems to be the consensus around here. [Steps back so that she can stand.]

Ling Yao. I recall meeting you briefly in my world and you were not a vampire.

Is this recent?

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

It happened not that long ago, on my way back to my apartment after a late night. Not sure who bit me.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, not happy]

Must have been rather difficult on you.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

Very. Colonel Mustang doesn't know yet...

[Soft sigh.]

No one else does.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

That's going to become a hard thing to keep a secret, if you're in the military.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

I know. I was going to put in my resignation.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Deep frown]

I see.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

It was either go AWOL or resign.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Scratches the back of his neck]

Right. I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm looking for a cure. Rather, something to at least do away with the aversion to sunlight.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

[Nods]

Thanks. I figure I'll hang out around here, see about not biting anyone soon. Not sure how long I can last. I've only been like this for about a month.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

[Crosses his arms]

As someone who's been this way a few years, let me just say this: Don't deprive yourself.

You'll become a much worse monster in the end.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

[Looks over at him.]

I don't like the thought of just randomly taking someone off the streets for food.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

Of course not, neither do I.

[Glances away a moment]

However, if you let the hunger build up...

Let's just say, quietly taking small amounts is preferable to losing your mind and tearing someone apart by your bare hands.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

Best to take a little bit from several people than a lot from one?

[A faint smile]

Never really thought about that.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

It keeps them alive at least, and that's what's important.

[Pleasant smile]

The trick is to not lose your mind amidst it all.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm having trouble with. The one that bit me didn't stick around and I'm still learning control.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine not having anyone around to help. I was rather lucky. Mind made sure to stay around, mostly out of guilt. The whole mess was an accident. He lost ocntrol.

[A bit softer]

Keep a clear head, you'll come out on top.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

I'm trying. [Her eyes close as she tilts her head up as if she can smell something nice in the air]

I can smell all the humans....it's hard to keep from grabbing someone and taking a bite.

[sheng-ji.livejournal.com]

You'll get used to that scent after a while.

[Seriously, now]

If you're hungry, that's what you should do. Just keep in mind moderation.

[midnightsniper.livejournal.com]

[Stands there, eyes closed and slightly swaying.]

I'm afraid I might lose control. I'm always afraid...

[Her voice is soft and she seems to be holding herself back.]
