[She's sat on top of the building where she's picked up an apartment, face lit by the feed in her hand and the moon. A faint breeze plays with her long black hair, but she doesn't do anything to stop it fluttering around her face. It doesn't bother her at all.]

So, what is there to do for fun around here? So far this place seems pretty lame.

[Looking at his video phone as a message went out, Jaune blinks a few times.] Whoooa... punk goth girl. [He's calling her. But before he does, he clears his throat, and shakes out his arms, and gives himself a little pep talk before dialing her number.]

[When his face shows up on the screen, he gives the most charming smile he can manage.] Why hello there~ The name's Jaune - Jaune Arc. You new in town?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

Hi. [you get eyebrows. Is that tone what she thinks that tone is? Then she grins, trying not to laugh.] The name's Marceline and I'm totally new around here. Do you know where a girl can go for a good time around here? I like a good nightlife.

Re: [Video]

[short_n_sweet]

Oh, you totally look like you dig the nightlife too! Well, uh... [What WAS there to do around Genessia? Jaune didn't really know. He'd spent so much time getting settle in that now when he had free time, he wasn't sure how to spend it.]

Well, um... There's a pizzeria, and a strip mall, but I dunno how long those are open... There's a Karaoke bar and I think I saw an advertisement for holosuites, whatever those are.

[He rubs the back of his neck somewhat.] ... I'm kinda new here too, so I haven't done much.

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[she's gone through no pains to hide the holes on her neck - she's not aware that's something she should probably do here, what with some of the people here, yet - so your comment about looking like she enjoys the nightlife strikes her as particularly amusing.] It's way awesome especially as being out in the sun generally sucks.

[Holosuites perk her interest. they sound... fancy. And new, she's never heard of them before.] you know where those are?

Re: [Video]

[short_n_sweet]

Sounds to me like some kinda simulation thingy. You know, like those sci-fi shows. [Jaune's juuuuust blond enough to not pay the neck bite much mind. Maybe it was just a tattoo or something.]

I guess that means you can hang out in, like... simulated environments. I think it said something about laser tag.

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

...Laser tag?

[Confusion. She wasn't old enough to remember much from before the mushroom wars, so she's never heard of it. Well, she's heard of lasers and she's obviously heard of the game tag, so she's... got an image in her mind that's a lot more brutal than what it actually is.

So, naturally, she grins.] That sounds like fun. [...It really does to her. For what she has in mind.

Someone's going to be a little disappointed when she finds out there's not much danger.]

[stalksindarkness]

It's lame we can't leave.

[smelltheredinside]

Totally not going to argue with you here. That's why I need to find out what's fun to do~

[stalksindarkness]

I don't even know where to start just being here. Let alone fun.

[smelltheredinside]

Place to live - done. Job? Lame. I'm pretty much started. [...one out of two is okay, right?]

[Video]

[broken_trifecta]

That depends entirely on your personal concept of 'fun'.

[She must be a newcomer, Cherise reasons, but the teenage girl is certainly unusual.]

How did you get up there?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[She laughs like that's possibly the funniest question you could have asked.] I flew, dingus. [Because clearly that's the natural response. Flying. And possibly explained by the two puncture scars on her neck she's entirely unaware she should be hiding from some of the people here.] How else did you expect me to get up here?

[Video]

[broken_trifecta]

And that's...natural for you, where you're from, is it?

[Cherise is a little confused. There are levitation spells, to be sure, and flight spells. But Marceline only said that she flew, not 'I cast a flight spell'.]

Are you a sorceress?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

Sorceress... that's like a fancy word for a witch, right? Pfft, No. Witches only wish they were this cool.

It's natural for me. [...Maybe she needs to introduce herself. A smile that promises mischief.] They call me Marceline, the vampire queen.

[Video]

[broken_trifecta]

['Rubbish.' That's the first thought that springs to Cherise's mind, though that's hardly Marceline's fault. Blame Karina for spinning as many tall tales and excuses as she could to be as lazy as possible.]

And...your world, where you come from. It's a world of vampires, then?

[nothingupmysleeve]

Not sure yet, luv. Might have to put on a bit of a show myself if nothing surfaces soon.

[smelltheredinside]

[A curious eyebrow.] A show?

[nothingupmysleeve]

[An easy grin.] Why yes! I have in fact decades of experience as a professional illusionist.

[He spreads his free hand, and suddenly there's a small, bat-winged white bunny in a top hat hovering over his hand. It squeaks cheerily as it flaps in place. Yeah, he noticed the neck scars, he just doesn't think it's a bad thing.]

[smelltheredinside]

That's cute. [she grins, pointing at the rabbit.]

But I thought you meant like in a band or something. But I guess that's pretty awesome anyway.

[nothingupmysleeve]

What me? Nope, I don't play any instruments. He does, though! [The bunny grows sunglasses and starts wailing away on a soprano sax]

Seriously, only thing I could do for a band is special effects. [A very small model of Stonehenge descends slowly behind him.]

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

I guess that depends? What do you normally do for fun?

I haven't really taken much time to look around the city to see what's out there yet.

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

Do some hunting, capture wolves, music - you know. [A shrug] Fun stuff.

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Oh woooooooow. I love all those things too!

[Though she's never actually caught a wolf, just beaten up tons of Beowolves with a scythe. That counts right?]

I think this is the start of beautiful friendship. I'm Ruby, nice to meet you!

[She might be jumping the gun a little.]

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[Eyebrow raise.] It's something. [...If nothing else, at least you wear food. If you suck, it's not going to be a complete waste of time.]

I'm Marceline.

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

So what do you hunt exactly? Where I'm from there are these monsters called the Creatures of Grimm. I use this to kick the crap out of them.

[She'll pull try and pull out Crescent Rose so that Marceline can see the Scythe, but it's kind of hard to fit it into the video frame.]
