*After hearing those words, Cerberus's grip completly lessen to nothing. His expression of anger turns into one of almost sadness and deep respect. Then, after realizing that he was showing a tender face, he quickly turned it into a more serious one.
-Let's go somewhere private...
*leading the way into a backroom
-Now those... are words that are respectable and honorable. Those are the words a Pure would say. You seem to believe like a Forsaken but your devotion and your heart are one of a Pure. You should dwell on that ; an offering. I do not consider myself superior to you because I am a man or because I am stronger then you. I consider myself superior to you because I am Pure and because I live with principals. I live by a code of honor based on truth and higher purpose that I believe that you made a mockery of... You've been wearing the thickest armor of all and now that you're stripped of it, I see the true you and I can hardly believe you are Forsaken! We all wear armor... I party rarely and never behave like this but fitting with the crowd and giving an image is something we all do. You have gain a bit of my respect but even if I believe, right now, that you are truly serious, I must consider the fact that you may be fucking with my mind right now. You are able and skilled to do it. I hope your not for your own sake. I am the Judge of my pack and I see not only potential but I see a path for you in the Pure. Remember I was once Forsaken like you are and this is not an impossibility. I will not force anyone to join the Pure... but the door is open and if you choose to take it I will see that no harm negative repercussions comes at you. I would consider this rivalry over once and for all. If you refuse I will also respect this decision. But you must understand that I am a Predator King and I have my honor and pride. This challenge, I have asked. I cannot break it. You either accept or submit. But understand one thing, everybody has a position and there are always people superior and inferior to you. And it's not a bad thing. You have to get this out of your mind!!! The reason you picture it so bad is because Forsakens make it a bad thing. We pure still respect eachother greatly. I would gladly give my life to save either the Alpha of the Omega of my pack. It doesn't matter! We must know about rankings to follow a hierarchy for order and that's all. If a superior uses his power, his superiority over an inferior in a bad way, he will be seen lesser and it will not go unoticed. If you admit your inferiority to me, I will still respect you for what you just said right there. There is good in you and for the first time you have shown it. It may feel as a weakness to show this side but that's only Forsaken brainwashing. And don't tell me I don't know about Forsaken, I was one... but you may tell me I didn't know about you. Accept my apology... Unfortunately you have 3 choices here. As Judge and as Predator King, I offer you the possibility to join the Pure, of course I'd need to talk to my alpha but that could be arranged, to face my in duel or to admit your inferiority. I am sorry it had to come to this... but my beast howls into me. You have tested my pride long enough and I cannot go back on my words... Chose carefully and know that I will respect your choice no matter what.

Scarlet follows Cerberus into the backroom but when he slows she continues on, grabbing her work bag as she opens the door to behind the building. “Not here” she says “Cameras.”
Once outside she gives one longing look to the open field behind the building before giving her attention to what Cerberus is saying. While he’s talking she gives little tugs to her skirt trying to lay it flat after it had ridden higher from her walking. Slowly her hands stop their finicky movements and she lays them, one over the other, in front of her. She studies his serious face, and a smile plays at the corner of her lips. When he finishes speaking she lets out a sincere laugh her words hold a tinge of bitterness.
“No negative repercussions? I think having my throat ripped out is negative enough.” She traces a line with the back of her forefinger and middle finger over the four brands in the shape of dragonflies that start behind her right ear and curve down the right side of her neck. “My mentor lost his Beta to the Pure. He wasn’t going to lose another Uratha. Not that it matters, I won’t betray my sisters and leave them without a leader.”

*Cerberus start walking around her to take a closer look that the marks that Luna left her on body. With his finger, he traces the one starting in the back of her ear and follows the pattern down to the side of her neck with a delicate touch no one would ever believe a warrior such as himself could have.
-I've been through the ritual of stripping away the cursed marks of mother Luna. Zek was the one who personally weilded the silver daggers and cutted them off of me. The pain is extreme I tell you but it's worth it. Plus, judging from what I see, your don't have an extrem ammount of markings on your body. Zek took no pleasure doing it anymore then I did, and he was, at the time, doing this ritual upon a Forsaken. The pain is worth the purity. The sins of a past forsaken life are erased but you must abide to a code of conduct to never sin again or try damn hard never to. Alex go shot by silver for crying out loud! ... and not by a pure. I have witness the monstrosity of forsakens eating flesh... I.... unfortunately I wasn't always pure. The Forsaken and the Pure fight both for the same purpose. To restore Pangea and to bring balance between the material world and the spirit world. But the Forsakens will use methods that are sinful in every ways of the word. We Pure keep it as it should be. It is WRONG to be a Forsaken because not only do you open the door to doing those sin, but Luna has her cursed grip on you and she's up to no good. What has she brought to our kin that was in any way positive? You could say the power of the moon but I say tis a subterfuge. She's simply gathering puppets for her own desire and I no longer wish to be part of her demonic plans.
*Cerberus stops a minute to examine other markings which he traces with his finger slightly.
-As for your sister, who is she? I've noticed you talking of her very protectively. The Pure welcomes the changed and I would be honor to be the one that converts you the to right ways if you so accepted. After all, as a Judge, it is one of my purpose. But you also have to understand I was the arch-nemesis of the clan I now am. That proves that nothing is impossible. I wasn't forced or tricked into anything, I was given a choice instead. A choice of choosing. Something the Forsaken never gave me before.

Scarlet startles when he touches her neck and moves away out of his reach. Her hands flitting nervously again. She takes a deep breath to compose herself and nearly gags at the scent of the refuse bin behind her. She moves again. Cerebus finds his way to her side and traces a marking with his finger slightly. This time she half-heartedly bats it away and moves again out of his reach.
“You’re easier to deal with when you’re growling.” She bites out. Her thoughts go to her sisters and brothers back in Ireland and she shakes her head slightly dispelling the errant thought. “My pack is my family. I won’t let them be harmed.” A bit of steel enters her gaze as she meets his eyes. Silently she reaches out for the sister she can depend on.
Crystal, some help at work would be nice. she's careful to not let any emotion into her communication, then realizes she'd be bringing one of her pack to face off with four Pure Never mind, I can deal with this.
OOC italics is not spoken but thought to pack members privately.

-I say you should dwell on this. I'm disappointed that you would reject something that seems as a weakness just so you can keep this feeling of control and strenght. Truth hurts far more then a well-made lie to insult someone. If this fact hurts you, it only proves how right it is. Think about it and know that I will respect your choice. As for your packmates it's understandable. But what are you waiting for? You really think they will all convert to pure? I can already tell you it's not going to happen. Feelings are nice and everything but you gotta learn to separate yourself from what you love sometimes. Why? So you can understand what's good for yourself instead of pleasing your own personal satisfaction. This is the kind of choice that you have to do that doesn't please you, I know. But you have to understand what is right. I had friends among Forsakens. But I broke my ties with them and now, we're I to try to go have a beer with them as a friend, they would try to kill me. But I can't blame them. After all, I had to kill most of them with my own hands... a bad feeling but that was their wish. I can tell from what I'm saying this is not helping you become Pure AT ALL, but the world ain't always fun. You have to sacrifice parts of things you love if you want to achieve a true purpose of purity. IT HURTS YES but you need the guts. Once it's done you understand you've done the right thing. Think about it... although I feel that your bond with forsakens are a bit too strong.
-.... oh and by the way.... you still gotta chose for my challenge.

Scarlet relaxes visibly when Cerberus keeps his distance. She listens quietly to his words. Most make sense to her, and it’s plain on her face before she remembers to keep her guard up. “You live by a code of honour that is different from mine own, and if that makes you feel your superior to me than I can accept that. I won’t fight over this.”

-Done.... but you also cannot dodge the main subject. You gotta learn to step on your pride and face what you fear. When something is right, fight for it. Live you life with no regrets or else it's a big waste. I can tell your armor is weakened... I almost have access to the true you. But it's not completly destroyed and thus, I can't understand what's blocking you like this. SPEAK UP DAMNIT! What is it with people that can't fucking communicate! You say it's easier to deal with my when I'm growling but that's only cause it's easier to accept death by the hand of a berserk that killed you while you defended your last stand with your beliefs then having that same person calm down and play with your personal feelings! Well that is one of your fear right there. I ain't here to destroy you physically or mentally, I'm here to learn about you. Speak your fucking mind and stop hiding truth, feelings and emotions behind that layer of armor!

Scarlet was quiet for a few minutes, standing completely still, staring out at the open field. “You don’t speak like any Pure I’ve known. You said your friends would kill you now, and that’s what I was taught would happen to me if the Pure ever got a hold of me. But I guess if you wanted me dead I would be by now.”

*Alex gets up with a long drawn out breath. He pulls his duster closer to himself as if he is trying to keep a chill that does not exsist in this hot and dingy bar from his bones. Walking with careful measure looking at the owner and the four bouncers who are making there way to the group.*
"Allright you two. Break this shit up. You know better then to mention this in a place like this. If you two want to knuckle out your differences then do so. But you Cerbrus, *Alex points at the table* Sit your ass down like I told you. And you *turning to face Keaire" you have been around long enough to know you don't mention thos names here or anywhere around the sheep. Grow a fucking brain."

*Cerberus looks at his alpha straight in the eyes but not in defiance. Just to make him understand he was doing no wrong. So as he starts heading back inside to the table, he stops for a second to address imself to Scarlet.
-What can the dead learn? We all fight for the same purpose but in different ways. In some ways your still doing your part but your not bringing balance in your actions. I've learned that actions the feels good at first will most often end up feeling bad. But also that if you do an effort and do something that might feel bad at first, you'll end up doing the right thing because in the end you'll understand it was best and you'll feel good about it. You may not think it a good thing to abandon so much things to join the pure, that is if you were to join, but in the end you would realize that luna was manipulating you. She clouds your mind into thinking us Pures are not worth it but once you join us you realize it was all a big lie. Luna was using you. .... the forsakens discarded father wolf for he his weakenning. What if we found your precious sister to be weak? Would that justify me or anyone else to kill her?
*He eyes her as if he had struck the last nail in the coffin then leaves politly with respect for his alpha.

Scarlet looks as if she’s going to continue when the back door opens and Alex comes out. She shuts her mouth and her little smile falls into place out of reflex, her eyes are alive with emotion though. Alex has his say and for a moment she thinks Cerberus may challenge him, but he speaks to her instead. She smiles demurely but her eyes spark with anger at the thought of him harming her pack sisters. She hangs back, halfway between the building and the open field, waiting for Alex to leave.

(So I am going to npc a human now, Scott the bouncer)
Walking from the front of the building Scott calls out "Hey Keaira girl you doing alright? I saw you lead a guy out here and well Mr. Z wanted me to make sure you are alright." He walks into the field looking around and spotting Alec, and Keaira all standing around. "Well it seems that here you are, But as this is somewhere you aren't suppost to be, head back in, alright?" He gestures to the back door.

She gives Scott a gentle smile, and her voice is soft and quiet when she speaks. “I’m sure he did Scott, and I bet he just loves that you’ve taken on my bad habit of calling him Mr. Z. All the man’s digits are in place, and he’s back in the lounge. We talked it out all nice like.” Scarlet replied as a new bouncer came the back door. She turned to address the new guy. “I suspect you’re here to tell me my break is over?” The man’s mouth opened, and closed again. “It’s okay, you’ll find Mr. Z doesn’t do much of his own messenger services. Perks of being the boss.” She allows the two to escort her through the back door. On her way through the employee only back room she drops her workbag back into it’s corner, and follows the men back into the lounge. Once in view of Zarek she cocks her head sideways slightly, smiles and wiggles her fingers in a wave before making her rounds getting orders. Work is work after all.

*On his way to the original table where that lapdancing girls had left for a while now, Cerberus decided to stop at the bar and take a seat with Zek instead.
-Jack Daniel and gimme the damn bottle! Pfffff..... Zek...tell me something positive. I need to be cheered up. All this talking for a warrior like myself is a little demanding for my mind and I feel dizy and drained.
*starts drinking the whole bottle very rapidly.

*Looking at her with disgust as she walks away. Alex just says with a voice barley above a whisper*
"Sad...Once a slave, alwyas a slave. Never really matters if its a phsycial or a spirtual taskmaster"
*Looking over at Cerbrus*
"Lets get back to the party, I am sure Ollie must be wanting to break in a new bouncer boy toy."
*Alex just strides back into the club ignoring any bouncer that pretends to bar his way*

On her second round she stops at Laz for a moment, makes a show of laughing at something he says and reaches out to trail a finger along his chin. Her shoulder muscles tighten before she makes contact, and don’t relax until she walks away from him. The next song that plays in Nine Inch Nails “Happiness in Slavery”. She doesn’t sing along, but instead dances with the first guy who looks at her uncomfortably short skirt for too long.
Lyrics of the song: slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants slave screams thinks he has something to say slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen slave screams he's being beat into submission don't open your eyes you won't like what you see the devils of truth steal the souls of the free don't open your eyes take it from me i have found you can find happiness is slavery slave screams he spends his life learning conformity slave screams he claims he has his own identity slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall don't open your eyes you won't like what you see the blind have been blessed with security don't open your eyes take it from me i have found you can find happiness is slavery i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been human junk just words and so much skin stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

Shacking his head Scott takes a look around the field and spits before head inside. He grabs the shoulder of the New kid Jordan. "Now why are you out here? Think an old man like me couldn't handle those two?" Pulling him through the crowd and across the dance floor. "You see the job here really is to stop fight happening where the masses will see them. Now kid you see that suit by the stage now he is going to make a move soon."
Scott walks over to the Suit as he jumps up to grab one of the girls up there for the wet t-shirt contest. He quickly grabs him by the neck and the belt and pulls him towards the door.
He yells over the Music "Kid get the door, and the rest of you out of the way." With the door open he push the drunk suit outside. Running his hand over his shaven head he looks around the bar watching for trouble.

When the song ends she carries on with her work. She walks with an even pace, smiling at the patrons while she takes their orders. She heads to the far right end of the bar where the waitresses fill their orders. The door to the backroom next to it opens as Bethany comes out, her lipstick newly applied and scurries back to work. Theresa hands out a few drinks and heads over to Scarlet.
“You okay?” Theresa asked, picking up the order pad.
“Sure, just had an itch to scratch. Break wasn’t long enough for a run.” Scarlet replied trying to run her fingers through her hair and dropping her hand as she realized it’s in a braid.
“You and you’re running, you’re going to wear the tread right off your shoes.” Theresa handed back several glasses. “You know, Bethany’s a good waitress, she could cover the crowd the rest of the night.”
“Nah, everything’s dealt with. There’s only four more hours.” She took the tray of drinks and was particularly quiet while she handed them out. Her eyes are still brewing with emotion, despite her calm demeanor being back. She glances at the door a few times. Then once she’s done she walks over to the bouncers there. She’s noticed Scott and the new guy are on the floor still.
She leans right up to Coleman’s ear so he’ll hear her over the music, and no one else will pick it up. He nods and keeps an eye on the crowd outside.

A woman with long red curly hair walks up to the bouncer outside. She smiles at him with a wave and says,
So would you let me in with these two guys.
She is wearing a skin tight jean mini skirt and a white T-shirt that hugged her breasts. She smiled at the bouncer and gave him a quick wink. The bouncer replies,
Sure, anything for you.
He lets her and her two male companions in with the line up going around the block.

As Crystal makes her way into the bar, one of her companions is briefly held up by the bouncers on grounds of "fitting in." Taken aback by the bouncer's opinion of his cowgirl jacket and low ratio of shirt material to rips in his shirt, he spends a few minutes talking to them. After a few minutes, the bouncers try, unsuccessfully, to wave him into the bar, but the man seems to remain oblivious to the bouncer's seeming intention to get him drunk or out of his hair.
A few minutes later, the Emperor of Calgary strolls into the bar with the subtlety of a raccoon barreling out of the mouth of a cannon into a vat that makes messy explosions when raccoons are shot into them, leaving one bouncer obviously trying not to cry and the other shaking his head and muttering something about ding dongs, killer whales, cockroaches, and antidesestablishmentarianists.

Scarlet turns around and surveys the room from the door. To the right is a set of stairs facing the front corner, they lead to Zarek’s second floor office which is his favourite perch to watch from. He’s there now with his feet up just watching from inside the office. The door is wide open to give him the best view. A walkie-talkie is undoubtedly in his lap, or on the desk next to him. The rest of the wall is bare of windows, but has posters detailing the weekly events that are on different days at Z’s, and special upcoming events. Ticket prices below each poster stated $40 for the first 200, $45 for the next 300, $50 for the next 500.
A now hiring poster is up “experience not required – attitude a must!” in the photo a woman sits on a leather seat as if it’s her throne, her arms along the arm rests and she seems to stare right out at you. Behind her stands a beautiful thin brunette in low rise jeans, a mid-drift that shows her impeccably flat and toned stomach and kept on by fabric gathered right at her breasts. She’s positioned away from you so one breast is catching the glow of the photographers light. A man with short well-kept black hair stands beside her facing straight out wearing black pants with a belt that has a fancy buckle. His white shirt stands out starkly against the black dress coat he has on. He looks every bit the man in the know who’s invited to all the parties, and throws the best ones. A few people are there in loose circles just talking around free standing tables and chairs. There really isn’t much there because Zarek doesn’t like having to move to be able to see everyone.
Out from the wall about five feet is the employees only door leading to the back room. The bar is beside it. Waitress order area right next to the door, and a long area for others to sit and drink. Past the bar are the comfortable leather booths were people sit around circular tables in larger groups. The makeshift stage is along the fourth wall about five feet from the booths. Her gaze skims over several girls up there who’ve either chosen men or the mc to slowly pour water over them, or are taking turns pouring it over their rivals, whom mostly are their other inebriated friends. The stage is right in the middle of the two long walls. Back to the front wall that has the door. To her left are another row of leather booths around circular tables, like the others these have long curtains hanging from a rod up about 9 feet that the patrons can pull closed if they so wish. Scarlet really didn’t want to know what was going on behind the two curtains that were closed. If asked, it was always a casual, legal private discussion. She’d been here during some concerts, the place was large enough to hold about one thousand people give or take a hundred.
She took note of Alex and Ollie at their original table, and Cerberus leaning heavily on Zeke heading for the floor. Theresa is at the bar and catches her eye lifting an empty JD bottle and making a motion as if she should get a bouncer. Scarlet shakes her head seriously. This night was going to get worse. She found herself trying hard to keep in focus why she worked there.
At her back she hears Crystals voice, with Coleman replying as she'd asked him to. But two people? She'd expected John to be the "back up". She turns and gives a beautiful welcoming smile, immediately snapping back into her usual outward appearance. Her eyes have covered over as to show nothing is out of the ordinary.
“When you said you’d just got off work I didn’t think you’d have time to get all glammed up. You look great. As you can see most everything’s fine now. I did say you didn’t need to come, but a visit is always appreciated to break up the lo-ong night.” She smiled again and glanced meaningfully at the barbies on the stage getting soaked. She looks at Emperor in his usually get up and decided Coleman was being very nice to her by letting him in with Crystal, or he really liked Crystal. She glanced at her outfit again and decided not to try and figure out his reasonings. She then noticed Eric looked none the well for wear and wondered what Emperor had said.

Crystal smiled and replied,
It takes no time at all to get all dolled up. I have a lot of practice. Anyway, I need a bottle of whiskey for this guy.
She gives John a little side hug.
And I would like anything with vodka in it. Surprise me.
Crystal sees a table that a group just got up from. She takes it and starts clearing it off.

John smiles at Crystal then detaches himself from her. Walking to the bar he orders a double scotch light on the ice. Then he talks to the Bartender for a minute.
I see your hiring.
John says in a calm voice. The bartender looks at Johns considerable build.
Yeah, talk to Mr.Zarek, or Scott over there...
And where would I find this Mr.Zarek?
The bartender waves over to Scott.
John walks to Scott and talks with him in hushed tones. All of a sudden Scott grabs at John. John sidesteps him and puts two light shots in his breadbasket and follows with a flurry combination to the head and neck. Even hitting him lightly Scott goes down.
The crowd around them backs up quickly as John helps Scott back up. They laugh together and joke about age. John shows Scott something and Scott gets very serious. They go to a table and sit, still talking.

I was only trying to get a rise out of John. He actually likes scotch. So if you could bring a bottle of your best scotch over it would be a wonderful surprise when he gets back to the table.
Crystal looks over as he sees John and Scott going at it and she chuckles to herself.
I think John has made a new friend over there.
She says as she looks back to Keaira.

Emperor makes his way over to Crystal and Scarlet, and as he does so, he catches a glimpse of the entire place. He stops, midstep, when he sees the contest onstage. Something crosses his face, and like a glimmer in a 3-D poster, the aura of solace around Emperor melts away entirely. Whoever stood there, in his place, during that brief pause had all of his features, but there is no mistaking the two to be the same person. The light catches his features akwardly, like shadows cast by buildings and furniture built with all the wrong angles and curves. His hands curl, his stance lowers, and the whisper of a snarl crosses his lips. His eyes lock for that brief moment with the girl on stage and she pauses like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming truck. The patrons, already trying to ignore him, unconciously take a step backwards without really knowing why.
The briefest of moments later, the Emperor strolls over to the now-cleared table and gives Scarlet a big, warm smile like the old, senile man everyone assumes him to be.

Scarlet laughs lightly and it sounds musical. “Men have such odd ways of making friends.” She checks over at Scott’s serious face just to make sure everything really is alright. Bethany gives a drink to a tall English man on the floor and rushes to Crystal’s side. “I can get this for you miss.” She says in her mousy way and quickly clears off the empty glasses and wipes the table down. She pulls the curtains fully open and looks out the one way glass at the crowd lined up out front.” She then makes her way back to the bar with her tray full of the used dishes. Emperor strolls over, and Scarlet smiles back. “You want a drink tonight?”

"I'll have a tropical dream. No wait, maybe a cosmo. No no, make it a tropical dream." Emperor... giggles?
"Nothing but the best for Elizabeth, thank you kindly."

Crystal glances over at Emperor and rolls her eyes with her eyebrows raised. She then says to Emperor,
So how is that cell phone working out for you?
