((Sorry about that. I edited my last post just now to fix that error.))
Rooi laid on her bed wondering what to do next. Since they were in a new city, Rooi figured that there would be lots of stuff to explore in town. She could go look around at the place and try to find some places with lots of dragon slaves, so that she could go to them at night and set the slaves free. But she figured that the others needed to have some fun as well now that she was with company. Maybe they would go to a bakery store, a theather, a park, or any other interesting places. "Well now that we're in Athens, what's the first thing you all want to do?" she asked everyone.
((Hey Sai, does Athens have any special places of interest or do you want us to make it up?))

Kat smiled as Vox boasted about is unbeatableness. Still, Vox's unjustified confidence was comforting to Katherine. "I guess your right about that, I'm glad I can count on you." Then came the question, he had asked it before but she didn't answer. Even now she was silent for a moment before inhaling and answer the question. "It's not just other magi. I think I can safely say most dragons aren't like me, and that's...that's because I'm inbred. My father and mother were siblings who were owned by the same group of humans. Mom and Dad were forced to mate in order to save their lives since the humans were desperate for more magi dragon "purebreds." Because I'm an inbreed I was born with I guess you could say defective magic. Casting spells makes me weak and i think it even drains a bit of my life. Casting magic is always a bit of a drain on magi dragons but that's just fatigue and they can recover from it pretty easily. I on the other hand do not recover from spell casting and I think it's been killing me a little bit at a time. There has been more than one occasion when I've had to remove dead and rotting scales." Kat lifted her wing for Vox to see. At the point where her wing meet's her body were several spots that looked like scales had been removed and if he looked at her closely he would see that there was the occasional spot where it seemed a scale or two had been removed from her body and legs. "Initially I thought I just didn't recover as well, it wasn't until after my second show since joining the circus that I noticed a rotten scale. I thought nothing of it at first but as time went by they became more and more frequent." Kat said finishing her explination. "I hope that helps."

((I feel like I'm beating a dead horse... just holding out for day 3 when stuff happens )) Vox frowned more and more as her explanation went along. He shook his head, "We could get a white dragon over... I hear they can heal anything short of death.... ah... wish I knew a bio engineer" he sat down on the edge of the sidewalk. Vox reached his paw up and scratched the side of his face before looking back to Kat. "How much of your life do you reckon you've spent?" he asked wearily. It was something odd to see such a young looking dragon and find out they were having the life force sucked from them. "And on that note- I say no more magic for you" he glanced up as Zane walked by, making brief eye contact. Ironically they did not know each other and his attention returned to Kat.

((*cooks the horse* Well that solves that problem ^_^))
Kat smiled, "I doubt this is something a white dragon can fix, and a bio engineer is a human isn't it? They wouldn't be inclined to help. I think the best thing is to simply cope and move on." Kat said having already come to terms with it herself. Kat sat next to Vox after he asked her how much of her life was already spent and she honestly didn't know the answer. "I don't think I expend that much life when using magic. After all it took two shows and many years of magic casting prior to that before I even lost one scale. Then again I only really came into my ability to use magic in the past century. But in answer to your question, I don't really know. I've never really thought about it and I really don't want too. I'll just avoid using my illusions as much as possible, promise." Kat said wanting to close the topic and move on. Zane was walking by them at this point. "Besides illusions won't help us find Zane anyways. They're only good for tricking people and hiding." She said casually.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aaron chuckled at Kathia's reply. "Lucky you, me and sis get into little arguments a lot. Nothing major this is about as bad as it gets." He said to Kathia while staring down at Ayos who was still glaring at the pair. "Don't worry about my sister's behavior it's not something personal or for that matter to do with you. She is just jumping to conclusions since I have a bit of a history with women in general. A lot of girls in the past have only gone out with me because of our money and I believe she thinks that you're the same as them. I'm sure she will come around eventually." "Or maybe Alex is worried that this lady will take you away from her. After your parents sent her off to train she could no longer come to me for fun and games. Which left only y-" THUMP, Aaron had marched over to Ayos and with his foot, stomped down on the dragons head, pinning it to the ground. "I don't recall asking for the advice of a dragon. So keep quiet you insolent wretch." Aaron said harshly to Ayos. The little black dragon merely nodded his response and Aaron took his foot off Ayos's head and turned to Kathia. "I'm sorry, this happens from time to time. We were soft on him when Alex was young because she liked him so much. Every now and then he gets out of line, so we have to repeatedly remind him of his place. Guards you know the drill." Some of the guards in teh room got up and grabbed a few police batons. Since Ayos's scales were so soft they offered very little protection against simple attacks. Which meant high tech prods weren't needed. The three guards moved forward towards Ayos when Aaron stopped them and spoke to Kathia. "Of course you can beat him instead. I'll bet that after yesterday's incident and today's loss of your dragon that your itching to blow off some steam." He said holding a baton out for Kathia.

((Well then. XD))
"No I guess they wouldn't..." Vox murmured, realizing that asking a human to help would be stupid. "I just don't think that's something I could just simply 'cope' with. I'd be a paranoid wreck. Kudos to you" he laughed. Kat's words trickled through the crowd to Zane where he stopped about 5 feet away and stood still. He listened silently, still tending to his drink while looking in the opposite direction. Vox shook his head, "I don't care if it would help. I don't think Eevee would want you to go killing yourself over it" Zane bristled slightly at the name. Oh how he hated that she liked to follow him everywhere. Still curious to who actually was looking for him, he turned around and stared down at them. His expression was for the most part neutral as he first felt like testing their immediate intelligence.

After Aaron said that Alex thinks Kathia was only with him for the money just as the other girls had been in the past, Kathia laughed and said, "It seems like every girl's a gold digger these days and I can understand why. But unlike them, I don't need to love a man for his money when I already got lots of it myself. Personality and for bonus points, good looks, are all I need in a boyfriend." She found Aaron good-looking, which means bonus points for him. Then the thermo dragon made a comment that angered Aaron so he made the guards go to beat him. Aaron stopped them and decided to let Kathia nstead after what she had been through. She smiled happily and said, "Oh Aaron, you're too good! I'm glad you're letting me have all the fun!" Then she took the baton and went over to beat Ayos with it. "Bad slave bad! You don't ever talk to your master like that!" she yelled at him.
((You know what? We'll just make up our own special plaaces of interest in Athens.))

((Katherine is quickly becoming my favorite character to play, and considering the competition is Malice that's a big deal in my eyes ^_^))
"Thanks Vox, but don't get me wrong. I was a nervous wreck when the thought first occurred to me. For a while I didn't talk to anyone, and sure as hell didn't preform. I just hid in my cage, but the other dragons there helped to talk me down once I opened up to them about my worries. Since then I've been ok." Kat said elaborating a bit so that Vox knew she wasn't made of steel. She just gave Vox an innocent smile when he berated her. "Ok ok, I said I wouldn't use my magic didn't I?" She said defending herself playfully. However, she caught sight of Zane staring at them and grew cautious again. "Vox there is a guy staring at us. Should we leave, or do you suppose he overheard us and knows something about Eevee's friend?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayos shank back against the wall as Kathia closed in yelling at him. He knew that the guards would have given him a roughing up and that Aaron was particularly cruel with his punishments. This girl however was an unknown and that really did frighten him. However, he still had enough courage in him to maintain his defiance and didn't give a single apology, and was quick to place a glower on his face that replaced the fear that was there a moment ago. Overall it looked like the little black dragon was challenging Kathia. As Kathia closed in Aaron mulled over her words, he pondered if he qualified in her eyes. He couldn't have been unappealing, she did after all let hm take her out to a movie and then to his house. That was a good sign.

The black dragon looked defiantly at Kathia, an act she did not tolerate. She raised a brow and she yelled, "Ooh, so the little black dragon thinks I can't break his will, huh?" Then she went back to scowling and said, "Well lizard, you're going to be in a lot of trouble now. And I tell you that it's going to get worse in a more painful way. You better hope that at least a tiny of courage left in you after this survives." Then she started to beat Ayos harder than ever with all the strength that she had. She hit him on the head and on his snout. She beat him repeatedly until the slave would finally give up and accept punishment.

Vox shrugged at her explanation. With friends to talk to or not, he knew he wouldn't have coped as well. His face went flat as Kat stated her idea of the staring person when he was only 5 feet off. He looked up to see Zane's mouth twitch towards a frown. Vox cleared his throat, "Um... hi?" he said cautiously. He couldn't demand who he was since the man appeared a normal human, and they were dragons. Zane's posture stiffened, but his expression didn't change. "Looking for someone?" he asked.

Katherine observed the man that had noticed them. He wasn't familier, so he couldn't have been from teh circus. After coming to that conclusion Katherine relaxed her guard a bit and answered Zane's question trying to maintain the apperance of servitude just as Vox had done. "Yes we are, a man by the name of Zane. A friend of our master is looking for him, so our master instructed us to help." Ok so Sam had nothing to do with it whatsoever, but Kat was sure the girl would be able to play along if needed. Besides there was no telling what the human would do if he knew they had acted on their own. It could spell trouble for them and Sam. Trouble was the last thing Katherine wanted at this time. She thought about asking him for help but decided that doing so would be pushing thir luck so she didn't say anything else.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayos yelped sharply as Kathia landed her first of many strikes. The girl was truely fearsom and he couldn't do a thing about it. His soft scales cut easily even under the impact of such a blunt weapon, it was as if they were no tougher than a human's skin. Most of the strikes were to his head and snout, each hit making his body lurch a bit on impact as he desperately tried to stand still. Even under all of Kathia's attacks Ayos didn't scream out or yelp again. But the pained face on him was more than enough evidence his injuries. The girl rained down beatings that seemed endless to the dragon who continued to stand despit having closed his eyes under the constant attacks. Blood dripped to the floor from his face and began to pool until finally Ayos gave in and slumped to the ground with a barely audiable whimper. Aaon stepped and spoke to Kathia. "I think he's done with being rebellious for today. We can't have you breaking his spirit before Alex's big day. After all we have to remember this is my sister's prey not ours." he said reaching out his arm to block Kathia's next attack.

Kathia stopped beating Ayos with the baton and looked at the bleeding black dragon as she said to Aaron, "Yeah, you're right! I wouldn't want to ruin it for her." Then she scolded Ayos as she shook her baton at him, "I hope this is the last lesson you'll learn, you impudent beast. Don't ever make me or anybody else do this to you again!"

"Is that so?" Zane asked with a fake tone of being convinced. He knew full well that no human knew him. And Eevee certainly wasn't smart enough in his opinion to recruit the help of humans to use slaves. "And those" he added, his eyes picking up on their collars. "I don't suppose you're both named Vox? Not a very feminine name" he said, leaning down and fingering the license on Kat's collar. "Hmm" he hummed quietly since he was closer, "I wonder what the authorities of these humans would think if I told them you two were running around like this?" he straightened himself out and put his hand back into his pocket, neglecting the soda. ((He's such a troll ))

When there was no reply, Rooi assumed that nobody had any idea on what they want to do in Athens. So Rooi decided to speak her thought and suggested, "Why don't we all take a tour around here? Maybe we'll find something interesting here that will worth looking or having fun with."

Katherine pulled her head back a bit as zane fiddled with her collar. "Uuuh...I'm a new slave. The master hasn't gotten me my own yet. But my name is Katherine." she said feeling progressivly less comforatable around this man. She would have blanched at the mention of the authorities. "we're out her on our master's orders I swear. Right Vox?" She said really starting to get worried. This man wasn't really going to call the cops as he? She didn't want to bring trouble to Sam, especially after she had done so much for Kat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((Red I dropped you a PM ^_^))
Ayos was silent as Kathia scolded him. He didn't look up at her but there was no defiance left in him either. He knew full well what tomorrow was, and Kathia's words probably had more truth to them than he wanted to admit. His only chance of continued survival was to stay alive until midnight on Alex's birthday. Then he was guaranteed another year, and maybe even the rest of his life if things went well.
"Come on Kathia I'll show you the rest of the house and the main basement. This is just the holding area." Aaron said to Kathia heading up the stairs. "You can leave the Baton with the guards they'll clean it up." He said motioning to the now bloody baton in Kathia's hand.

((Yeah I never addressed that. Athens you can do whatever. It's just a human-only zone though, present company aside )) Zane smirked and narrowed his eyes at Kat. "Well um..." Vox trailed off. He could see by the look on the man's face that his answer would have no meaning on way or another. "Hmph" Zane huffed in amused tone. "No... I won't call the authorities" he paused, lifting his drink near his face. "I'm Zane. And for the record, you are bother terrible liars" he said casually, sticking the straw into his mouth. Vox stiffened for a moment and then frowned. He suddenly felt very stupid. He had no idea what to say on top of it.
