A new Arrival

[Taz]

A spring in the young man's steps showed as he had gotten wind of the new news of an old legend coming back into the rumour mill, a curious man by nature, this was just what he needed to kill a little boredom. A light whistle escaped his lips, he did not care about disturbing anyone who may be within the park for all he cared it was a free place granted it was almost midnight, best time to be out if you asked him. Laughing and swung the scythe as if it was a toy, using it for balance to move along the walls, he wielded the weapon with ease despite it's weight and size. Looking around the grounds and sighed when there was no one out. "Aww come on, a new place and no one is here to come and say hi now that is no fun. I wonder if making enough damage to this place will draw someone out to say hi" He was much like a child but it was what he hid that most kept well away from the blue haired man who looked no older then a teenager, despite his age and looks he was a lot more dangerous then most knew.

[Ajax Matashina]

He had been out for a hunt having found no joy out of taking a drink from one of the many and various willing donors who frequented the grounds of Risen Coven since it had reopened its doors to the many night world creatures there were out there who needed a place of shelter and protection.
It had been close to a year since the ancients had attacked decimating everything they touched. So much blood had been shed that day and Ajax had suffered since carrying the burden of so many of his coven having lost their lives. Everyone had gone their own separate ways since, a few remaining to rebuild but eventually only Ajax had remained. He now hoped that others would once again rejoin him and they could bring life back to the building once again.

His movements blended into the shadows as he swiftly moved through the park gong back towards home after having had his fill on some more fresh and wonderfully unwilling victims, his mood had picked up slightly at just getting out and giving himself a little distance he had been dwelling to much of late and it was starting to become and unhealthy fixation.

A voice made him slow and eventually stop his tall, slender figure coming into view of the one who had spoken. This night Ajax had dressed head to toe in black in an effort to blend in unseen, it had worked but now he stood wanting to be seen his skin a pale contract to the clothing it almost reflected in the moon light as his metallic eyes drank in the image of a young looking male before him. He would never be naive enough to judge looks by age so he stepped forward once carefully having no real gauge on the power this one might hold, the only thing he knew for sure was that it was far from human.
"Does the park bore you?"

[Taz]

Turned. "This whole place is boring, nothing to do, nothing to play with. You know how it goes and killing comes to easy, so what can I do for you gramps" He rested in a sitting position on the scythe which was deeply embedded into the wall, he did not mean it as in insult, everyone above him was a older person so he took the cheesy way of talking to hid his usual self, he needed no one hunting him again least not till he had a little fun. Leaning back and kept his guard up, knowing better to trust anyone more so if they were here and out in the stroke of midnight, he was guessing this man was either very strong or bored as much as he was.

Both gloved hands resting against the sharp blade of the other side of the weapon he treasured more then his own life or anything he held close to him, he only wore a pair of ripped jeans and shirt, his boots held two blades within them but for now he just watched the older man, not to sure it was good or not to meet the man but only time would tell.

[Ajax Matashina]

He didn't find anything the boy said to be amusing in fact his eyes narrowed a tad when he went on to speak about killing being something that came easy to him. The last thing Ajax needed was some idiot to go on a killing spree. It would gain all the wrong attention and could jeopardize the coven again before he had really gotten it back to its feet. Needless killing was something Ajax didn't really care about but also saw no need in. Such a waste if you did not kill to defend yourself or to feed yourself then it just seemed pointless to him.
The boy stunk of arrogance in his words and Ajax continued to move forward at a very slow and measured pace. He didn't care nor react to being called 'gramps' he knew how he looked and the boy probably just said it to over compensate for himself looking like an infant.
"You know they say boredom is the sign of a weak mind" he countered what the boy had said to him. "And you can do nothing for me, you were the one calling out into the night like a escapee from the local mental health institute"
He stopped a few feet from the male not paying much mind to the weapon he held in his grasp, Ajax stood just out of range of an attack, he would have more then enough time to react should the boy be silly enough.
"The question is what do you want? Why are you calling into the night? And Boredom is not a suitable answer"

[Taz]

Gave a wide grin. "Actually you could say I escaped a mental place, but tell me something, who is not insane now days?" He pondered on the question before shrugging. "Chasing a rumour would be more fitting to your question and by your smell I am guessing a vampire and I'm betting an elder or close to it, just my luck. No way in hell am I getting into a scrap with you, I may not value much but one thing I am not is stupid, least when it comes to picking fights at least" He laughed harder to himself, a simple move of dropping to his feet was all that showed as he yanked the massive scythe out before slipping it back over his shoulder.

Stepping past the taller man, snickering to himself. "But you never know, us humans are pretty weak minded but who really knows" He looked around, now he had a few choices to think on, stay and talk to the man and likely upset him by saying something stupid or following the scent the man left to find a good place to hang out and have a little fun, tapping his chin in thought, for now keeping his back to the man but he was not that stupid to lower his guard.

[Ajax Matashina]

He didn't much care when the boy had come from he more cared where he was going. Something about him didn't sit right he almost stunk of trouble and Ajax knew he would be a fool to overlook his gut instincts and just let him be free to roam around the city he called home. "I like to think the majority of us are not" he responded the next comment attracting his attention more then anything else that had been spoken about since he had started the conversation.
He went on to ramble about starting a fight with Ajax and that he wasn't that stupid. For one Ajax was glad as he also had no wish to get into a violent altercation with the male, it would be time consuming and messy something he didn't want in a public place. But he was still caught up on the comment the boy made prior.
"Chasing a rumor?"

The boy moved passed him so Ajax was forced to look upon his back, this was something rarely done to Ajax he found it rude and would seldom tollerate rudeness but keeping in mind he wanted his question answered he did nothing about it.
"Not all humans are weak minded sheep, I am sure you know that. Don't placate me with words you think I wish to hear... no again, what rumor are you hear chasing, I assure you I know plenty about this city"

[Taz]

Grinned over his shoulder. "I know a few things but why should I be telling you, you know they say the price for information is often high" He laughed, walking away from the man, he was going to like this place a lot more if there was more then just the man here, slipping his hands into the pockets, wondering if the taller man would do anything other then talk to get the so called useful information.

Looking upwards and allowed a small calm to escaped before leaping onto the high wall and sat back to watch the man, there was little he could do against the man if anything so for now the best thing would be distance, least enough to keep his head and blood away from the man, grinning more to himself, leaning more on the wall. "Scared of a rumour are we?"

[Ajax Matashina]

"Because you have already stated your lack of interest in fighting with me. I also have no interest in fighting with you. But I am inclined to try all sorts of means to get you to speak in this case. I wish to know what rumors are circulating. As I have high stakes in this city and wish to know what sort of attention said rumors will attracted"
The boy had started to move away from him and Ajax began to walk at a slow pace so not to threaten or spook the male, he would get the information out of him one way or the other, he just hoped it would be the less violent way though he didn't expect a boy so cocky to just give up.

He paused at the bottom of the wall, looking up he rose a single brow. If the boy thought such a thing would stop him he was sorely mistaken, Ajax folded his arms his metallic eyes glinting against the moonlight which was shining directly upon the park. "Don't confuse it for fear, but also do not mock fear, Those without fear are those without a hope of survival.. now answer my question so we can both move on"

[Taz]

"A fool without fear is dead on his feet but nah I am good, I don't care much to answer something you can hear with ease if you know where to look, they know you lot are moving again, but hey who am I to say much, I am insane remember" He gave a faint wave before letting his body fall backwards off the wall and land on his feet, he was having to much fun with this to give anything up, allowing his body to drop into the shadows along with his scent from the air as he relaxed to watch the show from high above, grinning to himself.

[Ajax Matashina]

"Why do they all insist on making everything a song and dance!?" he cursed at himself -you lot are moving again- comment had got him, he had not moved anywhere he wondered if there were another coven in the area or whether the boy only had incorrect or false information.
He looked up at the wall deciding he didn't feel the need to show any of his acrobatic skills off when he could just as quickly go around speed being one thing he was well gifted with.
Flickering out of the image of the human eye Ajax arrived once again beside the male before he would have had more time to continue goading him, he leaned his tall frame against the wall beside the boy placing his fingers which itched to slap the answer out of the boy into a steeple in front of him, the picture of calm and composure.
"Why do you feel the need to try and irritate me boy?" he questioned his voice fleeting and without anger. "I ask you a simple question, one that will not hurt you to answer"

[Taz]

Grinned. "I love to play games" It was a simple answer if he had ever one to give, more so he just loved to annoy the man, it was much more fun then he had in a long while, leaning back and watched the grounds. "Besides, shouldn't you be munching on someone rather then hanging around me?" He turned his attention to the man once more, little was really known about himself any where which is the way he liked to keep things. "None the less gramps. Name's Taz" He might as well get the name out of the way as he remained sitting, his curious nature of the other for now was mild more so cause he never said anything worth being interested in yet.

[Ajax Matashina]

Ajax was beginning to lose patience and interest in the whole thing, he had decided the boy probably knew little of what he was speaking about and now only continued to annoy Ajax because of his now admitted love of playing games. Unlike the boy Ajax did not have time for such things and had long since grown out of toying with other people just to see their annoyance.
"I have already 'munched' he said with a shrug of his shoulders. Standing up straight his eyes swept the male before him they no longer held the glint that sought the information. The boy told him his name to which Ajax smiled. So not the boy wanted information, he wanted the vampires name otherwise he would have never offered his up.
"Well Taz as fun and time consuming as this has been I very much doubt you are going to answer me so I will no longer waste my time" two could play at his game.
"good evening to you" he nodded and pushed away from the wall, brushing down his clothing before walking away at a human pace towards the town.

[Taz]

Watched the man move away and shrugs. "So then I should just tell them to come then" He leaned back, he played with a small rolled up piece of paper with a candle sealing on it, he grinned more to the man. "Hunters gather and vampires fall, oh yes, this is going to be much fun" He did not follow the man, he had other things he seemed to need to do as did he but he had to wait for the others to show for now as he played with the small roll of paper, he had little use for it since he already knew the targets by heart but he needed more information before he could do anything not to mention the others to hurry up and show.

[Ajax Matashina]

As the threat was spoken Ajax paused his head tilting back to look up to the skies as his body became hard with muscular tension. He turned upon his feet to once again face the boy his head slowly lowering so he could again look at him his eyes much darker and more sinister then they had been only moments before. For someone who spoke against having a violent altercation with the vampire Taz had just made a huge error in judgment.
After what had happened to the coven nearly a year to the date Ajax would not stand by when a threat hung in the air, he had before and it had cost him more then he would ever admit out loud.

In a fraction of a second Ajax had crossed the distance his form looming before the boy his head tilting down to look at him. His upper arms writhed beneath his shirt as the vines there responded to the threat of violence.
"You will do no such thing" he spoke now with a tone he had not used for a long time, thick in threat and heavy with authority. "I will kill you where you stand"

[Taz]

Snickers. "Chill fang man, I'm not the one who sent us here, hell I don't even like this place but a job is a job, besides I don't think they are targeting you in general more so any un natural creature in these lands" He watched the man, he was not stupid enough to not be worried for his life right now, more so with the other man so close to him. He remained still for now but one hand resting in his pocket, holding onto a smoke bomb in case he needed it, never taking his eyes off the man before him, doing that would be more then asking for it then he already was.
