--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The beautiful Lady Kouen walked through the entrance to the village wearing her normal red kimono with her long red hair in a bun held up with black chopsticks. She spoke with a slow, calming voice.
Kouen: Well, this place seems alright. I can find a place to stay here, and at the same time, dance for the villagers.
She wandered through the streets looking for a place to stay and a place to dance.

Raziel glanced around the Dark Mage Village. It seemed like a place he would get along in. No one got suspicious if you were out at night, and dead bodies wouldn't really alarm anyone. He searched for an Inn, so he could go ahead and get a room to sleep during the day. Once he spotted the Inn, he spotted someone else spotting the same in.
Raziel: Ooh. She looks delectable.

Kouen took one more look around her before walking in. She saw what was possibly the sexiest man she had ever seen. She figured she would go talk to him, since he also appeared to know a little of the area. But mostly because he was so sexy.
Kouen: Hello, good sir. You seem to know your way around. Could you tell me where we are?

Raziel smiled at her, his canines glinting in the moonlight.
Raziel: Why, my dear woman, you're in the Dark Mage Village. I rather like it here, but it doesn't seem to suit you. It's not a very... lively place. Most people here wouldn't be blasé enough to appreciate your nothing less than divine presence.
Raziel took her hand and kissed it.

Raziel: Well, personally, I like champagne, but that all decides on the size of one's wallet. I could buy you a glass, but you would have to repay me by letting me smoke. If not, then they have some rather nice and more affordable wine. Even their beer is decent, if you like that.

Raziel: Alison! Get this wonderful woman a glass of your finest.
Alison smiled, her extended canines gleaming in the soft light of the room.
Alison: Certainly. But first..
Alison leaned over the bar and, grabbing the front of Raziel's shirt, pulled him toward her until her mouth was at his ear.
Alison: Are you going to take her?
Raziel smiled and whispered back.
Raziel: In what way?
Alison: Either.
Raziel: Hopefully both. Why, do you want a sister?
Alison pulled away from him and went back to get a bottle without answering him.
