Kiri Valentine

Redifined Mayhem leaned against the table, whispering to the lovely female before him, "I heard this place has horrible service. I'm sorry if it turns out to be a horrible night.. But in my defense... You picked it." He grinned charmingly, devilishly dark eyes glistening playfully.

Kiri Valentine flicked her Chinese fan, covering the lower half of her face as a smile crawled along cherry colored lips. "Oh Red," she cooed, "It's just a rumor. Besides, even if the service IS slow, it will give us time to chat a little." Gorgeous eyes twinkled in response to the look in his.

Redifined Mayhem felt his temperature rise as she said his name. He wished she hadn't covered half her lovely face with that stupid fan. A slender, athletic hand reached and lowered it, those dark orbs of his softening when he saw the pretty smile on her perfect red lips. "Why do you torture me by hidin' that smile of yours?" he asked frankly, laughing softly.

*Ohhh Red.. Where do I even begin? Kiri and Red met in a tavern one night while the demon hybrid was running from his inner monster. He called himself such cruel names and told Kiri that he wasn't worth wasting time on. She was interested in the young man however and took a seat, ignoring his protests. She told him that in his eyes he saw himself as a monster, but in hers he seemed like some sort of hero. Those stories he'd told her that night of all the things he'd been through and how much hell he faced? They blew her mind. He was still here breathing and giving off such a strong aura even though he'd faced horrors that would break any normal man and shatter his mentality.. Red was something else. She looked the man dead in the eyes and told him plainly: "There are different types of heroes babe. Sometimes its not about how 'good' you are. It's about how much you inspire those around you.. And you Sir, have inspired me more than any knight or paladin could ever DREAM of doing. You may have an aura the color of coal, and be drowning in sin, but you're one of the most persistent men I've ever met. You press through, no matter what..." Since then, on and off they've crossed paths, most of the meetings consisting of mischief and pranks pulled on unsuspecting 'victims' that were unlucky enough to be in the area. Red is her partner in crime, and more than once has been mistaken for her lover. She won't deny that rumor, but she won't confess to it either. Some things are better left a mystery.

*Kiri ran away from Red as fast as she could. Why? She thought he was going to tame her. He had a way of making her feel as if she were wrapped around his finger, and it scared her so badly she felt the need to just run... Once she had returned, Red had moved on. Even though the girl still loved the man with everything in her and would cross the universe for him a thousand times over, she knew she had to just move on. It was easier said than done and when offered the opportunity to simply forget him altogether? She accepted without very much hesitation.

*Unfortunately for Kiri, with her memories returning, the ones regarding HIM hit her the hardest, in violent waves that leave her nearly suffocating, gasping for air.

*Destroyed Purpose, the man her dear friend Bloodlust loved to work like a dog. She worked alongside him at a local bar, back in the day, and noticed that if anything ever broke? Des would be the first to be yelled at to fix it. "Dessy!!" Blood would say, "Fix dat." Bloodlust was an adorable little woman of roughly 5'5" and Des knew better than to refuse her. Cute and bubbly to strangers, Blood had a darker side that involved a mace stashed under the bar that she used to bean anyone who got out of line... Usually Des or Red.

*Kiri does't know much about Des personally, but she considers him a friend and his antics are always good for cheering her up when she's in a sour mood. Des is good entertainment, and anybody who knows him would probably be quick to agree. He sacrifices his own well being for the laughter of others. Kiri thinks it to be rather stupid, but at the same time? She finds it pretty adorable.

*Those days are long gone. The vampire doesn't remember Des anymore. He was forgotten along with all the others...

*This girl is Kiri's best friend. She's shy, sweet, and has such a cute and bubbly personality that its hard not to like her. Bloodlust has been a close friend for a very long time and Kiri is quick to jump someone if they're mean to the smaller girl. Blood can be serious and mature when need be, but it usually doesn't happen often which makes her seem far younger than her age. Kiri tends to act out of line when she and Blood have their "ladies' nights", just for the other girl's reaction. She gets so red faced and demands Kiri behave before they get kicked out of wherever they happen to go. Kiri would always dance on the tables, flirt with the bartender, or make a random scene to cause Blood to scold her. Bloodlust is the owner of the bar Kiri currently works at on certain days of the week, and is constantly on her case... Well, when she's not on "Dessy"'s.

*This one was one that made her hesitate in accepting the devil's offer. Blood was her best friend and all of those memories they shared are long gone now.. Maybe fate will put them back together someday. A friendship like theirs was something cosmic right? They could have been sisters.

*This one apparently was now with Kiri's ex that she'd never fully gotten over. When the memories came back, as well as the news of the affair that ended Blood's marriage, Kiri lost heaps of respect for the woman. Blood.. how could you?

*Now this one... Another man that Kiri looks at with goo goo eyes when he's not paying any mind. Stinging Agony, the man who is always hidden behind a cloud of smoke. In the arena, Sting is fearsome and one of the strongest men Kiri has ever seen. Well, next to Red, because she's rather bias over him. Sting is the older brother of Des, and he's not nearly as playful and friendly as his sibling. He's rude, blunt, and if he doesn't like someone? They hear about it. Bloodlust has had to scold him multiple times in the past for running off customers at her bar just by being a "sourpuss". He's a trouble-maker the majority of the time, spiking people's drinks, throwing things at Des, picking fights with the others in the bar, and just causing riots in general. He seems to really get a kick out of causing trouble, and Kiri can't help but laugh when the others get so worked up. She's a bit of a prankster herself, so maybe that's why he doesn't bother her.

*As well as the others, Sting is forgotten now. Those moments of snickering when he'd be mean to the others are long gone. The starry eyed gaze she would give him when he was in the arena.. All of it vanished with her memories. Hopefully the two will cross paths again someday as Sting was a soul that meant the world to the vampire. He was one of a kind.

*Sting resurfaced at Pulse around the same time she did, and she remembered him as well due to the memories returning. It's been a long time, Mr. Chain Smoker. It was pleasant to see another familiar face. Going back home was a good choice in the end it seemed.

*Chaos Bloodstone is mysterious, generous, kind-hearted, and speaks in such a way that all eyes fall on him everytime he opens his mouth. He was once Blood's husband but after the affair between Bloodlust and Red, that relationship is now over. This man is also her boss at Pulse and she holds him highly, nothing but respect for this one.

*She gave up her memories of him as well in that deal with the devil she'd made, but ironically, the moment she locked eyes with him in Pulse upon her return she immediately knew who he was. She was pulled into a gentle and brisk hug, welcomed home with a smile, and he picked things up with her as if hanging out together hadn't been so long ago. He was a dear friend back then, and remains one even now. Chaos was also the one to inform her of the affair between Blood and Red, and delivered the news with such grace and poise.. He'd come to terms with it she realized, and embraced what that meant for his future rather boldly. She was envious, but not surprised, by his solidarity and strength. Chaos Bloodstone had always been as tough as nails.

*She met this boy at Pulse. The first time she met him he was a child, running around with a ton of energy and attacking a customer named "Lagg" with a wooden spoon. He was adorable and cute as a button, which is why she was shocked a few nights later upon seeing him again. When a boy much older sat on the bar talking to Lu gave her butterflies so easily and turned out to be the same person she thought was a mere baby. He is ageless, a manifestation of dark arts. He looked at her with such kind, innocent eyes, speaking softly "Pretty girls shouldn't be drunk..." He'd said it so sweetly and she'd immediately traded her wine for soda upon hearing him say that. She'd never put down alcohol for anyone before and it bothered her some. Donnie Bloodstone wasn't her usual type at all and here she was slipping into a crush she was developing on the boy. Was it even right? She was this jaded, rough around the edges rule-breaker and he was... innocent. How could she taint something so pure with her darkness?...

*He was forgotten along with the others, but once the memories resurfaced and she went home, she realized fast that she missed him terribly. Hopefully he was still doing okay. Time would tell. The crush that was developing had been snuffed when she drank that potion, but it didn't change the fact that she cared for the darkling. He was like family.
