The creature seemed to prepare for an attack of sorts, but when he pleaded to it not ot eat him it stopped.
"Eat you! Only if your made of real chocolate," it said with a hissing voice, smoke swirling out of it's mouth and nostrils. Carl felt relief wash over him - if it could talk it was sentient, and if it was sentient it could be reasoned with.
He slowly stood up - he still felt a bit drowzy, but it didn't feel like he was going to fall asleep right then and there.
"No, I'm not - just regular flesh and bone. It would probably be unhealthy to eat me anyway. Too much calories."
The eye that wasn't on his hand swiveled to the front of his face and studied the creature in front of him curiosly. His mouth came wandering up from the chest and took its rightful place above his chin, although it was a bit twisted to the right.
"Just what are you anyway, if you don't mind me asking? I've never seen anything like you."
Then he remembered that even though the creature didn't seem to be hostile, it couldn't hurt to have some manners.
"Name's Carl, by the way - Carl Reed. Just your everyday average cursed man, nice to meet you."
He wasn't sure the creature could shake hands, or paws, or whatever, so he finished the sentence with a small nod.
Then... WHAM. Something rammed into the side of the creature, not unlike Carl had done not long ago. It was the pregnant girl from before - Carl had been so focused on the smoke being that he hadn't paid any attention to the both others. His eye spun around and he saw that the black-haired teenager was slowly walking towards them. He sighed.
"Just a typical Bridgeport night, isn't it?"

"Don't come near me," Zelia said to no one in particular as she sat in the gutter near a storm drain, her gaze darting between the creature, the boy who'd put her in a headlock, and the man she'd tried to eat only moments before.
She wasn't certain whether she'd spoken out of fear of them, or fear for them, but either way it was good to get the warning out there. One of the girl's hands pressed against her stomach and she felt Tobias writhing helplessly but still quite angrily within her. A wry smile twisted one corner of her mouth upwards. If her estimates were right, she wouldn't have to worry about him for the rest of the night..

Izzy is flabbergasted, but relived. Its not every night when someone will actually just sit and talk to her with out running away screaming when they see her. Though to be honest the man looks like he has troubles of his own. Izzy was about to reply to the strange Mr. Potato Head man, when.
wham!
the pregnant looking lady slammed into her.
"Oooof!"
The lady scrambles away "Don't come near me"
Izzy backs up a little shaken and not wanting to startle her more why does that sound more like a warning?"
"I'm not going to hurt anybody" she rasps out trying to sound calm and soothing but failing.

Carl knew the girl was dangerous - she'd tackled him to the ground earlier and almost slit his jugular - but he still felt sorry for her when he saw how agitated she was. By now he'd realized that she and the... thing inside her were two different beings. So could she really be held accountable for what the thing made her do?
And when she pressed her hand against her pregnant tummy in a way that looked so much like the one his wife had did years ago, when she'd put her hand in a protective gesture over her tummy. He didn't know if this girl intended it to be protective, but the similarities still struck him.
As he pondered over this, his facial features were starting to assemble. Now his nose and an eyebrow joined his mouth and eye on the middle of his face, and an ear slowly slided around on the side of his head.
"I'm not going to hurt anybody," the smoke creature next to him stated, and Carl believed it. Although it sounded a bit... nervous?
But when the teen walked up to the girl and said "boo" he frowned. It was a little hard to make the lone eyebrow dip down over the eye since he had to concentrate on all his other features to keep them in place, but a frown it was.
"Is that really necessary? She's already spooked, no need to scare her further."
Then he crouched down and looked at the girl who was sitting down in the gutter a few feet away, and started to talk in a low voice.
"Calm down, we're not going to hurt you. At least, neither me nor Smokey here will... I'm not completely sure about the guy over there, but if he wanted to hurt you I think he'd already done it by now."

The girl's wearied gaze flitted to the monster as it spoke, and she stared at it for a moment. How could such a large creature sound so... Well... More harmless than her? Her mouth opened slightly as she began to ask this very question, but...
"Run little vampire run!!" The boy had walked over to the demon and now caught her gaze. "boo," he said before waving to the demon. She felt a surge of anger, and she wasn't sure whether the feeling belonged to her or her son. Her brow drew down into a sour look before she just looked away, ignoring him.
When the man whom she'd attacked stood up for her, Zelia's brow did the opposite, rising a little in surprise. "What?" She actually asked aloud, looking up with a bit of confusion.
"Calm down, we're not going to hurt you. At least, neither me nor Smokey here will... I'm not completely sure about the guy over there, but if he wanted to hurt you I think he'd already done it by now." He crouched and looked right at her, obviously not too miffed about the fact that she was going to eat him earlier. The girl's knees drew to her chest and she wrapped her arms around them as she looked at the ground. She was confident that what he said was true, but while she didn't feel completely terrified of them, there was still one other person in the group she had to worry about.
"Yeah, I... I know.." She said lowly.

Izzy is a little puzzled with the teen nodding to her, i wonder... she nods back uncertainly.
"Run little vampire run!!" Izzy's eyes furrow, she would be frowning if she could. Having a skull like face isn't to much for showing emotion.
wow, i've heard that there were vampires in BP. Never thought i meet one...actually i'm meeting all sorts to day, first Carl and i'm pretty sure that the teens isn't totally human ether Izzy shifts uncomfortably from paw to paw and cautiously steps forward staying behind Carl. "Well maybe it would help if i introduced myself?" she pauses "Hello I'm Izzy"

"Yeah, I... I know.."
The girl seemed a little calmer. Carl listened to the teen when he asked if she had the thing under control - he was kind of interested in that too. At least she wasn't trying to kill him now, and that had to be an improvement.
When the creature behind him introduced himself - or herself? It was hard to determine what gender it was, but he thought she sounded female - he couldn't help but smile. Izzy was so big and intimidating, and still it almost felt as if she tried to hide behind Carl.
"Good idea! As I told Izzy here, my name is Carl Reed. As you might have noticed I'm a bit cursed for the moment."
His eye went from the teen to the young woman.
"How about you?"

(( Sorry for the late reply, guys; I've been busy with school. :x ))
Zelia glared at Aburn as he asked his question. "Yeah, he's... Not going to bother anyone for now." She looked rather surprised when the creature, now identified as Izzy, spoke up.
"I didn't think you could talk," she said without thinking, then blinked and turned a very pale pink color. "I mean, uh..." After a minute of fumbling, she just left it at, "Sorry.." Sheepishly turning back to Carl, her hands crossed over the bulge of her stomach.
"Well," she began slowly, then glanced back to Aburn. The way he was going about things, it seemed like he already knew what was wrong with her. "I'm Zelia." She felt like she was at a support group or something all of a sudden. "I've... Er.. My son's a vampire, I guess..?" Her gaze went to her stomach. "It kind of affects me."

((sorry didn't mean to fall of the face of the earth ^^; Family business showed up))
Izzy laughs, which sounds a bit more like a rough cough "Its alright, most people don't stick around long enough for me to say anything."
Izzy stands up a little straighter from behind Carl now that the Zelia seems to be in more control of herself. The fog pouring from her pores has diminished to only a small trickle. "Nice to meet you Zelia"

Carl looked from Zelia to the teen back to Izzy; his eye made a full 360 degrees spin around his head, then it went back to Zelia and focused on her slightly protruding belly.
His voice became graver.
"A vampire, you say? I'm sorry to hear that, miss. It can't be easy, what with their... needs and everything."
He couldn't stop himself from shivering at the end of the sentence, remembering that he had been very close to becoming a vampire snack. The way she had twitched, like a marionette... Carl shook his head, trying to force the picture out of his head.
Then he turned towards the teen again.
"Hey, thanks again for helping me back there. Do you mind sharing your name with us so we know what to call you?"
Carl noted that the fog that was emanating from Izzy had diminished, and that he didn't feel drowsy anymore. He couldn't help asking her about that.
"Hey, Izzy, normally I don't feel like taking a nap when I encounter amazing beings like yourself. Was it somehow your doing?"
