---

Dracula has posed:
Dracula's mind tends to be one tracked. The green haired beauty caught his attention and he decides to bring himself back to Mutant City. Not one to turn up his nose, well of course he is and still he returns in search of the potential beauty to feed from, maybe to claim for a servant.

Making his way into the club, he moves through the room. Some take the time to study the place and others go slowly. He is Dracula and he fears no person and thus he makes his way boldly through the potentially dangerous mutant gathering.

Polaris has posed:
Tonight is busier than the other night he was here. People are gearing up for New Year's Eve and there are plenty of shows and performances leading up to the big night. As 'Alucard' makes his way through the nightclub, he may notice all sorts of obvious mutants. Down here in Mutant Town, they are a lot more over5 and not necessarily as pretty and normal looking as the Xmen.

Green haired mutants however are not quite as common, although he may catch a glimpse of familiar hair and a woman of similar tall height and athletic build to the woman he saw the other night.

Except tonight she seems to be in better spirits. And, did her hair change to a paler green? Maybe it's a trick of the light. Either way she seems determined to have fun as she dances the night away on her own, clothed in a daringly shirt metallic silver halter top mini dress with a flared skirt that spins as she twirls, showing off thigh high black stocking and silver pumps.

Dracula has posed:
Too many annoying mortals in the building. Mutant or not. Dracula moves through the room towards the glance at the green hair across the way. He frowns for a moment, eyes focusing and mind checking the scene before him.

He finally nods to himself and moves that way. Whether the same or not, it is worth it to him to get closer and find out. As he draws near he nods, realizing he might be mistaken, but he is Dracula and this mortal is a beauty of her own.

As he draws near, he looks like just another club hopper, maybe a little too refined, but still not standing out in the crowd a great deal. When he draws near to her he casts a minor impulse to her dance partner for him to leave and make a place for Dracula to step into his place.

Polaris has posed:
The woman grins and flirts with a young man around her age, but he doesn't linger long for some reason which causes her to snort in annoyance. "Fine, be that way!"she huffs and 'accidently' steps on his foot just before he leaves, causing him to curse and yell at her before she quickly exits towards the bar for a much needed drink. She seems to lack the classiness of Lorna and is a bit more shallow and air headed by the looks of it, but men are easily enamoured by pretty hair, regular features and a skinny body, even if she's a bit too skinny to have any real grace to her movement.

Still, she pauses on her way to the bar, giving Alucard an appraising look and flashes him a charming, flirty smile. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Lookin' for some fun, sweetheart?" she quips, flashing a winning smile with too-perfect teeth.

Dracula has posed:
Alucard nods and tells her,"Indeed."

His accent a little thicker than the last time he was here. He recognizes this isn't the same woman for sure, but he also sees something easier to take. Most humans are predictable and few mutants are any less predictable.

His power reaches out to tickle the edge of her perceptions and begins to make its way into her mind, eyes staying with hers,"It is a rare one so lovely as you would be alone in such a place. I would take you before someone else does."

Polaris has posed:
The girl bats her eyes at him, clearly taken easily by a pretty face. "Ooh, I know, I could have any guy here if I wanted.." she smirks, tossing her shoulder length mane of wavy mint green hair. "Soo, you gonna buy me a drink or what? Haven't seen you around before but you're clearly the best looking guy in the club." definitely not Lorna, far more shallow and eager than her. But she seems intrigued by the mysterious man.

Dracula has posed:
A hint of a smirk touches his face when she declares herself the one to have in the place. He doesn't argue, but instead nods,"I am sure you are correct of course." He reaches out, taking her hand and pulling her close to dance first, muttering softly,"I will buy you a drink of course, what is your chosen vice and what is your name?"

Polaris has posed:
The green haired girl giggles a bit too much to be charming, taking his hand and nodding. "Of course I am! Just give this room a pretty face and you can get away with murder." she smirks and nods, dancing slowly with him. Not terribly graceful, but definitely not clumsy either. "My name is Laura Hanes." she grins and tilts her head, "And you are..?"

Dracula has posed:
Losing interest in everyone else in the room, Alucard tells her,"My names is Alucard. I know it will seem strange to some, but in my land it is..not common, but not strange."

He leads her as they dance and listens to her words. Something about him is at once everywhere for her mind.

Havok has posed:
Alex has decided it was a good night to go out for a drink. Work, school and everything in between was becoming rather aggravating for him. So here he is approaching the bar and ordering a scotch. His gaze lands on the green haired girl and Alucard though the green haired girl looks much like his girlfriend, though she definitely isn't. Alucard on the other hand gets a suspicious look on his face not recognizing this man in his neighborhood.

Polaris has posed:
"Ooh, Alucard, what a name..I love it!" she spins and twirls until she gets dizzy, and while her attention is largely on tall dark and charming, she does catch a glimpse of one of the famous Xmen who occasionally frequent the club. "Oh my gosh..Is that Havok of the Xmen? Heyy!" she waves to him, hoping he will notice or maybe come over. "Hey, how about that drink you owe me?" she winks at Alucard, leading him to the bar.

Dracula has posed:
The name tends to catch attention without fail. Though he frowns a little when she withdraws to go try to catch the attention of the other man, he doesn't resist overly. He did promise her a drink after all.

He looks over the other man, a appraising look with a raised eyebrow before looking at others in the bar,"I don't know who he is, it seems we will find out soon enough." His tone a little flat.

Havok has posed:
The attention gets him to look up and smile a little as he takes a sip of his scotch. "Havok? Where? That dude is awesome as hell." He says with a laugh as he leans back a bit.

Polaris has posed:
Laura giggles, "Oh, he's a famous mutant, basically a celebrity!" she ogles Alex, looking quite in awe of him as she licks her lips, her mind roving easily between the two men. "Mm, it's not often that a member of the Xmen hangs out with us regular mutants." she flashes him a winning smile, even as she gets tugged closer to Alucard, rather enjoying the nearness even as she seems to be trying to play two people at once perhaps. "Come and join us for a drink!"

Dracula has posed:
When she gets ready for her drink, Alucard indicates to the bartender it will be on his tab. When she invites the other to join them, he frowns again, but studying the X-Man he also finds a certain degree of curiosity. What is so special about this one?

Havok has posed:
Havok laughs and shrugs. "I guess I can join you for a drink." Alex moves closer to them. "I'm not full time X-Man but just because my powers are stronger than most doesn't mean than I don't hang out with you all. Hell I live here."

Polaris has posed:
"Mm, but you've protected us mutants a hundred times..And you're pretty much a celebrity around here.." she practically swoons as her hungry eyes take him in, licking her lips. "I would love to see your powers up close..I'm Laura, by the way, nice to meet you in person." she pauses to let Alucard introduce himself, although she's already reaching for a glass of dry red wine, chugging it down a bit too quickly. "Mmm that hits the spot.." Alucard is given an appraising look as well. "You're a mutant too right? What's your special ability, smouldering looks and charisma? Or...Something more exciting?" her pale blue eyes flicker hungrily as she runs her fingers along his arm.

Dracula has posed:
Not known for patience in the face of adversity, Alucard listens to the two mutants talk. He is patient in other aspects and while the two are talking he seems to vanish into the crowd.

There is literally no sign of him no matter how hard they look through the crowd. Now, were they to look up the might notice a bit of fog in the rafters floating to the door. Fog machines right? Patience.

Havok has posed:
Havok shrugs. "I just do my job Laura." He says and takes a sip. "And the pleasure is mine, my name is Alex." And then he's looking all around. "Looks like your friend left you high and dry."

Polaris has posed:
"Oh, no, the pleasure is all mine. I--" and then suddenly Alucard seems to have vanished. Laura does NOT like to be stood up and she jumps quickly to her feet, nearly spilling her drink in the process. "Alucard? Hey, wait for me!" she abruptly rushes into the fog, vanishing briefly from sight as she tries hard to find him. And barring that, she may just leave the club in frustration.

Not long after, a certain other green haired woman steps into the club, peering around. More relaxed, more poised, she is dressed far less flashy as well in characteristic black jeans and a deep purple shirt underneath a black leather jacket.

Havok has posed:
Havok smirks and waves Lorna over. "He baby, you don't happen to have a twin or something do you?" He asks scratching his head a bit.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane arches a brow, spying Alex almost instantly and making a beeline towards him. "Hey, sweetheart, missed me that much huh?" she smirks, not one for big public displays of affection, although she does lean in to kiss him softly, briefly on the lips before joining him at the bar.

The 'twin' comment does catch her by surprise, smile fading a bit. "Twin? I sure hope not..My family is pretty messed up,as it is...?" she peers at him quizzically, glancing towards the copious amount of fog that are still lingering on the dance floor. "Did I miss something?"

Havok has posed:
Havok shrugs a but here. "I'm not sure, some green haired chick named Laura who looks almost identical to you except she's super perky and bubbly. She was with some weird stranger named Alucard."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane smirks, "Perky and bubbly huh. Wonder if I got a fan..." her smile fades a bit at mention of the enigmatic one however. "Alucard was here, again?" she frowns thoughtfully as she orders a beer, "Interesting..Wonder what he's up to...I met him a few days ago, he tried to charm me..Not sure his angle.."

Havok has posed:
Havok growls his hands beginning to glow before looking at the fog. "This creep comes to my town, to my neighborhood, tries to charm my girl, and then comes back and is all over some other girl who looks like you? Why didn't you tell me about this? I knew I should have blasted him."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane frowns, grasping his hand, giving it a squeeze. "I'm telling you now..I'm sorry.." she sighs, "My mind is such a splintered mess I suppose it's easy for people to interfere with my thoughts. Took me a moment to come to my senses and pull away from him, get away from him..I can only assume he has..Some sort of hypnotic power.." she shivers, "Didn't realize it at the time but the more I think about it now, the more convinced I am he was trying to mess with my mind. I'm not entirely sure what he's up to, though.."

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head. "That's freak is going to get blasted!" He growls. "He shows his face in M Town again and ill....ill....I'll vaporize his ass." He grunts taking a drink and returning the squeeze to her hand. "And it was here?!? It was here he tried that shit?!?"

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane swallows, visibly tensed at his anger, but nods slowly. "Yeah..Just..Don't lose control, I suspect he's more dangerous than he's letting on." she doesn't let go of his hand, trying to calm him down as she strokes his arm gently. "If I see him again here, I'll call you, but it's better if I stay far away from him.." she sighs, "I've had enough of people trying to manipulate me."

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head taking a drink. "How many jerks do you know that can stand up to my powers." He says with a chuckle before looking to the Bartender. "You, if that jerk that was here with the green haired chick, that Alucard comes in here again you tell him he ain't welcome here."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane bites her lip, "That might be tricky, as I'm not the owner of this Nightclub, plus, we would have to prove he's dangerous and so far all he's done is flirt shamelessly." she shrugs, "However, I will let as many people as I can to be wary of him. I imagine he will be careful to stay with in the law.." she laughs, shrugging, "Far as I know he might be harmless, if not shameless, but...No, I've had people try to get in my head before, it's an unmistakable feeling..There's something else going on there, I just don't know what." she shivers, "I just hope it doesn't happen again.."

Havok has posed:
Havok shakes his head. "I was talking to the Bartender love. But you my dear need to steer the hell clear of that creepy ass freak."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane sighs and rubs her eyes, peering at the bartender as he nods in agreement to Alex. "Yeah, sorry, guess I haven't been sleeping well lately." she yawns and stretches, climbing to her feet, "I'd like nothing more than to never see him again. As for you.." she smirks, offering him her hand, "I'd really like to see more of you..Shall we retire for the night?"

Havok has posed:
Havok drains his scotch and slides the glass to the Bartender. "Remember I don't want that jerk here again ever." He grumbles before taking Lorna's hand and escorting her out.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna Dane sighs, leaning in against him as. they head home, "You know, I'm getting pretty tired of people trying to mess with my mind..I wish there was something I could do to beeef up my mental defenses, but medications don't seem to do much for me.." she seems anxious, exhausted on many levels.
