Bella walked to The Spot, which was supposed to be the hangout for anyone, human or supernatural. As she walked in, the rumors she had heard were true. She acted like she didn't care, keeping her daggers hidden and the sowrd, which she normally carried two, slightly hidden and close her her hand, ready to pull out if the need arised. She was a witch that was ehre to fight evil, though she wanted to train as well, while she was here. She was not one that was great with anything besides swords or her magick she used to create things from nothing and turn things into other things.
She ordered a drink, not careing what it was. She took it to a table in a corner of the room in the shadows. There, she sat and waited for something to happen.

(((Rory)))
"You might not want to drink that, ma'am," I said helpfully, plucking the drink off the table.

Bella looked up, she hadn't even wanted to drink it. She ordered it to make it look like she wasn't reterted or somehting.
"Who are you? And for your information, I wasnt' going to...It was part of my cover, i would greatly appreiciate it if you would put it back on the table."
She didn't mean to sound rude or stuck up, she was just a little irritated with people assuming things all her life.

"My name's Rory, pleased to make your aquaitaince so to speak. I'm pleased you weren't going to drink it." I downed it in one gulp, looking thoughtful. "Like I thought, digitalis, or digoxin, if you want the medical term. Give you a heart attack, and no one would no why. If you want to stay alive here, be assertive and specific. A lot of the barkeeps here will poison you as soon as look at you. Plus, the fact that you blurted out the word cover to a complete stranger sort of puts you in the newbie category."

Plus there's the hair." I said as I walked over, "And you may want to hide your sword a bit better." I pointed to her jacket where her weapon was slightlyhanging out, so slightly most wouldn't notice it.

Bella looed iritated as she looked at the new person that walked up.
"First of all, i didn't blert it out, I was whispering, though now, I am not. And you, what is wrong with my hair? Is a simple ponytail not enough for you? And i am not afraid to show that i have something to protect me. I am Bella, yes i am new to LA, but I am here for a reason that I wish not to discuss."

"Alright." I said. "Let's go through the list shall we. In this building, twenty bucks says that over half the building could repeat exactly what you whispered just then. Second, Your hair, I'll let you figure that part out for yourself and finally, Half the building will know why you are hear extremely soon due to the mind reading tricks."

Bella listened carefully and nodded at what the man said. But when it came to the last part a sneer crossed her face.
"That is where you are wrong...No one can get into my mind..."

"And that is where you are wrong. You are underestimating everyone else. That will get you killed quickly."

"I am highly trained in certain areas. I think YOU underestimate MY power...Now, unless you wish to help me, then I am going to go find something to do. So do you?"
Bella stood and adjusted her belt which held her sword. She hated people who controled her. That was one reason why she left home, but was she going to find the same thing here?

"Just giving a few tips." I said as I stepped back. "No need to get agro. But seriously, Don't think that being highly trained in anything will protect you, sometimes being highly trained is more of a hindrance than a help." I smiled, "But this is your first time here by the looks of it, Well then, I shall abide by your wishes and let you do whatever you want. You'll learn sooner or later."

Whilst T-pot had been speaking I'd snuck round behind her and was now in game face, hovering my her neck. "Sooner is always better though."

Bella spun, standing and pulling a dagger from it's sheath from her left wrist. She had the tip of ehr dagger on the girl's throat.
"Good enough for you?"
She re-sheathed her dagger, not wanting to give anyone in the bar the wrong impression and turned back to the man.
"Obviously this is my first time here. I would have made myself know by now if I were here longer than three weeks. And as I asked before, the question that you seemed to avoid, 'Would you like to acompany me, or not?' But, you know, Maybe I should get to get to know you a little..you may be of great help to me."

(((Boys throat. Rory's a boy...)))
"Luv, unless you have slayer strength, slitting my throat's going to be about as effective as the poison I just drank for you. And, just out of interest, any particular reason you speak like you just waltzed out of a Jane Austen novel? We may be of great help to you, but you don't seem to get the big picture. You, alone in this great big town, wont be able to do anything. We," I indicated Jack and myself, "know this town. We know where the black markets are, where to find pigs' blood at a decent price- ok, maybe that's just me. You're a newbie, albeit a newbie with a dagger. You don't have the power, or the authority. So no, we won't help you, not if you're so arrogant and frankly, stuck up, so as to not realise that we are the ones with the respect around here. Let me put it this way for you. The barman gave you a drink with poison in it, which I had to drink for you to stop you pooping your cloggs. Only we would save you in here. No one else would care. But the barman wouldn't dare give poison to us. Our group name strikes fear into demons. Your name would probably make them think lunch, because you're cocky and you could do with being taken down a notch or two. Which, in time, if you don't act a little nicer to the good guys like us, you will be. This is LA and you'll need friends, people who 'may be of great help to me'. But you won't get them if you act so self-centred."
My accent had got a little less refined as I'd continued, turning more into the oaklahoma drawl that some loved and some hated. I leant back against the wall slightly after I had finished, barely out of breath. Well, I didn't expect to be, not needing it and all.
(((Woah... that went longer than I expected)))

I gave a small frown as I watched Rory from the door. He had gotten seriously close to biting a stranger's neck, and she pulled a dagger out at him. For some reason, she put the dagger back away. I wanted to go say hi to Rory, but I couldn't do anything but watch. So I moved up the stairs on the catwalk so I could see them better.
