"It is not the same as fresh, but it will do." He muttered, grabbed the quill, and signed, quickly, but elegantly. "As for how bold I can be, that is for me to know and you to discover." He stated, as he walked past the moth creature, then turned to the cat human. "In case you were wondering, your scent and heartbeat gave you away as human. It is so easy to tell. You do not smell like us. Subtle, but it definitely is different." He stated, and took a seat on one of the chairs, pulled the hood back up and leaned back in the chair, waiting. |

~> Erytha <~ A small hissing laugh as Styx moved forward, a quiet warning. "I'm not in the habit to break deals. Promises, I couldn't care less about. But you'll get what you need, provided you work well." They muttered, a soft curl of disdain mixed in their tone. Promises were foolish. No one kept a promise. Deals, on the other hand, that was mutually beneficial. Those were worthy of respect. A beat of silence as others took a seat. "Well, Ichabod? Have you anything to add?" Erytha turned to the harpy, thin eyebrow raised ever so slightly. "If you'd prefer to get anything you may need written down by someone else, stay back after this. But you'll need to choose now, whether you join... or walk away." |

The tall Tabaxi spotted the desk, bringing the sack over, and plopping it down. Its corners opened, as it hadn't been tied shut, and it falls down, the contents in a pile, some rolling away. It was a bundle of bread, rolls, lots of rolls. "Food!" He says, a smirk on his face, quite proud of himself. "And, and it's fresh, not an ounce of mold 'ere!" Silence. Veil makes an "oh" face and holds a gloved hand up, one finger pointed to silently say "wait". He fishes into the hilt on his thigh, pulling out something that appears to be a key. "This b-belonged to a human guard," He explains, twirling it around. "D-don't ask how I got it, I, Iwon't tell you." Veil places it on the desk, alongside the pile of bread. "It's like a, uh, a master key of sorts. Getcha in a-and out of places." He then moves to take a seat near the others, making himself comfortable in one of the chairs, tail swaying a bit to the side as it pokes out from behind the chair. "So where do I sign up?" |

Giving a small sideway grin, at the change of events after the vampires outburst, she raised her hand toward the witches upturned one. She half expected some of the others to turn on her too after learning about her heritage. Before she could reply, either with words or an agreeable handshake, the vampire stalked past her, stopping briefly to add his own bit of information. Hearing his comment toward her only cemented her fear. The others can indeed tell the difference. My time here might not be as easy as I'd hoped. She thought grimly as she looked down, the half smile fading slightly. Tucking the information away for later pondering and working, she looked back up to the Witch. Finally grasping their extended hand in a greeting. "I'm Sigris, The cat burglar" She said, giving an inward chuckle at the name. "And as you already know, yes I'm human. I'm guessing your, what? Some sort of hybrid? Ill admit I'm a bit inexperienced with the different species living down here." |

Nyx made his way to the desk and set the bundle down, then pulled off the concealing cloth with a flourish, revealing the dismembered head of a notably corrupt councillor's wife, bloodied stump of her swan-like neck leaking gore along the polished surface. Despite her clearly deceased status, however, the head was not limp. Her features were screwed up into an expression of abject horror, lips pressed together so tightly they'd blanched white. And her eyes.. well, they were missing. Two wisps of ghostly flame flickered where they should have been, darting back and forth with fear. "Apologies for my lateness. Her guards put up more resistance than I anticipated." Letting go of her hair and stepping backwards, the panther hybrid flicked his fingers. The wife's mouth and eyes opened wide, sucking in desperate breaths, and she began to talk, words tumbling out so quickly they slurred together, trembling. "I didn't know that much, I promise! He only took a few bribes, just from some councilmen and socialites, and I'll tell you about them! Just please, please, let me-" She tapered off with a muffled cry as Nyx pressed his fingers together again, sealing her lips shut. Green eyes glowed from within the shadows of his hood as he spoke again, tone derisive as he glanced at the councillor's wife. "She might not be too cooperative at first, but I'm sure you have ways to make her more obliging. And she'll be a veritable wellspring of useful information. Besides," claws flashed out with a snick, "there's always more where that came from." |

"As for what I am, I am a vampire, first and foremost, second of all, I am able to see the above world, but only at night, in this form. It is, sensitive to light, but, as the queen so... indicated, I can change this form, for another, who is not sensitive to the light of day. Which is convienient, and no, it is not exactly a hybrid thing, at least to my knowledge.. I am both, but I used to be only one of the two. One, I was born as, and expected to always only be. The other? Came later, but the first gift remained." He said, shrugged, even though the question seemed to be for the other creature, but nonetheless, he shared it. It was practically already out there anyway. |

"Wow wee, got, got anythin' more to add there, huh?" He said once the vampire was done, adjusting himself in his seat. "D-didn't seem like you were all, all that finished." Of course, his questioning and slight badgering was hypothetical. He really didn't want him, what was his name again? To continue speaking, maybe gloating, about himself. He shifted his mask, which he had tucked under his chin, up above him mouth and nose, concealing his face again. A sign saying 'I'm done I'm done I swear' (though, it most likely wasn't true, as Veil could never seem to shut his mouth). |

Sigris quickly turned her head around to look at the vampire now, him having entered into their little conversation unexpectedly. After he was finished, both with his questioning and own explanations on his abilities, again another person interjected. The hybrid(?), now sitting in the row of seats with them, poking a jibe at the vampire, before pulling a mask over his face, ending any future conversation. Bold isn't he? Coming into untested waters with an unknown group of people and already poking the hypothetical bear. giving a grin at the potential for some interesting entertainment today, she turned to face the vampire properly, pulling her coat around her tighter. "Well I would be lying if I said I havent… misplaced at least a few peoples cats 'accidentally'. But no, I happen to have psychic control over animals in the Felidae family; for simplicity, cats. Its sort of a mental shifting rather than a physical one. I become the cat, with access to all their memories. I can go anywhere I please with relative ease. For the time being, I am just a cat, something most people dont even pay a passing glance to. I'm free to go anywhere I wish." "Nobody guards their words in front of a stray who happen to be lounging nearby. Nor would they particularly be alarmed if a cat made a habit of staking out their house for a few weeks on end." She shrugged. "The house pets are easier. They have free reign of any room at any time. Some, more important, peoples pets starting out as a little stray kitten that happened to show up on their doorstep one day." She said with a mischievous smile. Taking another sweep of the room, she noticed yet another person had entered. Another person she hadn't noticed who could have snuck up on her. Sometimes she really disliked the such dull senses of her own human body… Another feline hybrid it seemed. Wait, was that a head on the table?? She thought incredulously. Straightening up for a better view, she saw it was indeed a womans head. When the head suddenly came alive with a screech of words, she had to stop herself from recoiling back in surprise. Despite the overlaying wariness at the shocking abilities she just witnessed, she was also suddenly incredibly intrigued and curious. This strange group of creatures already seemed very powerful and dangerous, she's probably do well to tread more cautiously. |

"That is rare, especially among humans, no? Shifting minds with a feline is not something I know of, even as a shifter myself. Now, I do not like cats, I strongly dislike them, and I refuse to trust them. The pet kind, and the stray kind" He said, leaned forward, to watch the newcomer who had adressed him and the newest newcomer. He could smell the blood on him, not fresh, but it was not old enough to smell bad to him. "The newcomer brought the queen a snack, I believe. Smells ... tempting. Not too old." He grinned, grabbed the vial from his pocket, and opened it. "Almost make me crave a fresh snack of my own. Sadly, this is all I have, but it will do. Unless anyone is offering?" He continued with a wide grin, and a laugh, before draining the contents of the vial in one go, then went back to studying everyone in the room, mentally making notes of who they seemed to be. They were different, all of them, and while that was fascinating, it certainly did little to make him trust them fully. He was out for himself after all, and it was all he cared about. |
