It was morning, though still dark. Maybe about 4 or 5. Vampiric habits didn't die easy. Lenore sighed quietly as she walked, wondering whether or not now was too early and if she should just go into a pub and spend a little time there. Maybe grab a victim to drain or something. The vampire was uncharacteristically in the mood for the act.

She decided against it. Committing a murder right before arriving at the society probably wasn't the best on first impressions.

Another sigh escaped her as she looked around. Sure, London had changed, but... not much since her living there in the 1760's-1890's. It was still cloudy, still cold. She never liked hot weather anyway. The smell of rain was pleasant and relaxing as her heels clicked on the damp pavement.

Lenore walked with her hands in her long, dark blue coat's pockets, and only took one out to knock, when she had finally arrived.

She had taken her sweet time, so it was well by 7 when she got there. The early Sun bothered her a little, though the clouds made it a little more manageable. Lenore mentally noted to bring an umbrella on her next walk.

She wondered if her vampirism would be a problem, or if it would even be noticed.

(Okayy, so I finally did an introductory starter for Lenore. Sorry I've been kind of out for a while, but yesterday was really busy with these baby birds that me and my mom had taken in. We'd done this before and succeeded with my sparrow, Mercutio, who's hand raised, and is basically my son. So these two lil beebs were really cute and everything, and I named one Kiwi and the other strawberry and today, in my mom's care, they ended up dying after 2 hours of her having them. So. Yeah. I'm a little yeah. You get what up mean. I've been crying all day since I found out today.

But it's finally here! Lenore is finally here."

( Early morning. Late, technically, for him.

The paperwork had been exhaustive. So many traumas, so little time.

He'd hardly gotten outside the office lately with all the charts to update. The night belonged to the lively- it was a shame he had to waste the hours of precious moonlight. Still, it was his obligation as much as it was Henry's, and Henry hadn't slept in nearly a week.

The double doors open to reveal a slender, but well built gentleman- a Navy officer, if the uniform were any indicator. His would-be mocha skin glows under the dampened sunlight with a dull bluish hue that could only really stand out against the sunny golds of a fellow Latino. Dark circles sit under unusually bright caramel eyes.

Something else glistens along his cheek bone.

Glitter?

The air is suddenly enhanced with the underscore of pork.

Is something burning?

The gentleman takes a step back, their silhouette engulfed by the shade of the massive building- still darkened for the evening slumberers.

She's greeted by a clear steely Tenor voice, noticeably laced with a Spanish accent. )

Hola! Welcome to the Society for Arcane Sciences Señorita!

Lenore smiled at the greeting. "So I /am/ at the right place. Good to know!" She replied. "I'm Lenore. You might have heard of me before? I used to be the king's doctor for a time." The vampire added.

The king's doctor!

And what brings a physician of great prestige to our...

I'm very sorry to hear about that Señorita.... You don't look like a chopito though, so you must have gotten away before they heated the pan up!

She shrugged. "I wasn't exiled or anything. Since I did do more good than not." Lenore frowned saying this, "And my replacement ended up brining his death. Honestly, I leave for a few years and come back, the guy's blind, deaf, and literally barfing blood every ten minutes

Had to just put him out of his misery. "She sighed. "Any way. Not a pleasant subject."

"They didn't even really do much investigating, no matter how much I suggested. Said he died of porphoria, ugh, so off." Lenore rolled her eyes. "And it's not like they'd listen to a vampire."

( Although he smiles, he gives pause- the news hitting him like a brick.

"of course, I should have known"

He steps aside, hand outstretched in invitation. )

...You should come inside, Señorita

She smiled back, and stepped in. "Thank you. Though I have invented a way to prevent the sun's rays from killing me instantly, though I would prefer not to risk something perfectly avoidable.

"How would you know? I hide it fairly well."

( He rushes to the doors, looking both directions before quickly shutting them behind him. )

The announcement was a pretty big hint.

( He tilts his chin, giving her a sideways look. )

Where do you come from?

"Oh. Pfft." She laughed. "And Russia. That's where I was born at least. But I've been to many places."

( He lowers his voice. )

I don't know about Russia, but where I come from, these things are not discussed where prying ears can hear. An announcement like that would have you burned at the stake.

( He steals a nervous glance at the window. )

This country is no different.

((I'm so sorry to hear about the two birds! I'm glad you have your sparrow, though. He sounds like a cutie!

On another note, TRPS is set in the 1880s or 1890s, so London ought to look very familiar to Lenore! :-) ))

Lewis braced his bad foot against his walking stick as he made his way up the steps to the Society. Reaching the top, he spied a woman he'd never seen before.

"Good morning," he said pleasantly, making his way toward the door. "May I help you?"

"Fascinating! I know at least one member of the Society who'd love to speak with you on the latter subject," he said, unlocking the door.

He went through it, and held it open for Lenore.

Lewis chuckled as he closed the door behind her.

"I think you'll find bleeding-edge science is par for the course around here. I imagine Alicia Ghast will want to speak with you. And you might find common subjects of interest with Dr. de Lezo," he explained.

"First things first, though. You'll want to speak with Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Lanyon, or Mz. Hyde. Do you wish to merely become a member of the Society, or do you seek to live on the premises, as some of our scientists do?"

If you're looking for the Society for Arcane sciences, yes! But if you need the Society of Silverware Polishers, go down the street, take a right, a left, a right and a left. They have a building similar to ours, but more shiny.

Gemma fell out a window. I mean sure, it was only on the second floor but still. Her arms moved in whirlwind and she tumbled head over heels. A bush crackled and almost broke in half when she landed on it, or rather in it. It broke her fall, but not without damage.

"Owww..." she rolled out of the bush, now covered in tiny scratches. Turning her head to the side, she spotted a woman standing at the door. "Hey!" she called out in attempted friendliness, pushing herself up into a sitting position.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! A voice called from the window. Blue Jay was hanging out of it, yelling at Gemma. ARE YOU OK?

"I'M FINE! GO DO YOUR CHORES!" Gemma yelled back and he sped off.

"Thats Jay, he's a tulpa.\," she said, turning back to Lenore.
