Alessandra mulls over the choices, resting her head back on the couch before groaning out, "Boooorrrinnggg." She sighs and sits there for a moment, then gets up front the couch and heads to the door, picking up her purse. "I'm going for a walk. Night is too nice to be sitting in a hotel room, no matter how luxurious it is. Maybe I'll stumble upon a dead body, who knows? You all are welcome to join me if you wish to do so. I'll be back in a couple of hours, if anything." Without any second thought, the older vampire is gone, strolling out of the hotel lobby into the LA night.

Sorrin shrugs, then gets up to follow Aless, pausing momentarily at the door, he calls out to Misha, "Misha can you watch Lup? Thanks." To Lup, "Stay here." He then moves to catch up with his friend, lightly jogging to pace beside her, "Got a destination in mind?"
“Not particularly, no.” Alessandra answers coolly. “Maybe a lounge, or local haunted cemetery.” She gives him a challenging look. “Werewolf bar?” Then follows up with a laugh and a dismissive wave, jesting at the suggestion. “Wherever my legs take me.” Her eyes then glance over to Sorrin and now Victor. “Any ideas, my loyal bodyguards?”

"Going to a lounge sounds like a plan. Maybe a haunted cemetery, although unless we meet a celebrity ghost, I don't think that we'll meet any interesting dead people."

Alessandra taps her chin in thought. “Hollywood sign, then lounge?” She suggests, a little smirk tugging at the corner of her lip. “I’ll race you two to the top. In heels and all.”

If it was literally any other person, Victor would be sure that he'd be able to win a race against someone in high heels. But Alessandra wasn't any other person. "You're on."

“Sounds fair~” She says whimsically, the smirk growing into a smile now, picking up the pace a bit. “Keep the running as mortal as possible in the city, for precautionary sake, but once we get to the trails, it’s fair game.” She warns, then continues. “When I say. GO!” There was no second that she waited, darting off down the sidewalk as soon as the word left her lips.

Victor ran after Alessandra when she said go. Running for him wasn't a challenge, but outrunning her while not going supernaturally fast proved to be a bit of a task. It was much easier for him to run in jeans and a jacket than in his formal clothes and he had to admit that it felt good to have the night air rushing against his bare chest.

Alana and Misha were setting up a game a Yahtzee when everyone had the itch to go out. And get eaten by werewolves. And not in a good way. At all. But, Misha decided to stay with Alana, who earlier, wanted to play. "Sure."she called out to Sorrin, watching everyone leave, then looked at the wolf with an amused glance. "Don't do anything stupid! Misha already went on plenty of meesions of body searching and revenge. Not eentested een doing another one!"But everyone was already out the door, so she just gave an exasperated look and returned to the game with Alana. They talked about France and Lestat while playing.
Sorrin laughed then ran after the two. "So much for playing fair~" He knew he could easily out pace the two of them, but held back and enjoyed filling his undead lungs with the cold air of the night.
Back with Misha and Alana, Lup had taken to watching their game with intrested confusion.
Alana offers the others a playful smile as they leave. "Have fun! Dont die! Be back by morning!" She then calmly sat with Misha for a game of scrabble, willing to answer any questions she had about France or Lestat. Seeing as everyone else was sharing. Although it would be their secret for now.
With a slight tilt of her head, Alana offers Misha a smile as she takes her turn. "I can ask you about Russia if you'd like to ask about France then? Unless you'd like to ask about something else?"

"Misha ees more..leestener than talker."she admitted, watching Alana make her move. "Eet would please me to know more about you, France, and anything else you want to tell me."she thought for a moment. "To be entirely honest, while I hef many seemeelarities of Russians..I am not from Russia. Technically." she cleared her throat, as if revealing a big secret, but did not want to elaborate, honestly, much more interested in Alana. "But, please, speak."They had grown a bit closer, especially in the time they had worked out together, and a delightful warm fondness was developing inside Misha. Misha's personal training with Alana's had made the Toreador's body a bit firmer, tighter, more shapely than it already was, and the tight leather she was wearing made her look even more sexy.
Alana hums in thought and tilts her head. "Not from Russia? That is surprising. Although you don't seem to want to talk about it so I wont push." Alana thinks for a minute in thought, trying to determine where to start about France. "As for me. I grew up in Champagne, France. So it's not much of a coincidence of my alcohol of choice. I hadn't been there as long as Lestat. of course. He is almost 262 this year and didn't fully leave France until mid 2010. We left together after my embrace. He wanted to... Pursue his music career? Although I suppose he also just needed a break from the regal vampire life. We traveled for a while until I eventually decided to set up a home base, The Bliss, here. As far as I'm aware, France is Toreador central. Great music, arts, fashion, and the food is to die for. Not to mention the language is beautiful and romantic. It is very clan and species diverse there although I tend to opt out of the politics. That's more of Lestat's forte. Seeing as he was part of the 1st Arrondissement. Some political head chair of vampire government there. To make a long story short, France is very diverse. Not just with vampires, but other species as well. I mainly take a visit or two a year to catch up on fashion, food, and some relations I have there. Surprisingly that's where I picked up this little number. Some parts of France went through a 'phase' as you would call it?" She gestures to her outfit with an amused smile before tilting her head. "Sorry if that was a lot to just tell you. I tend not to mention my French nationality that often. Something much of a secret?" She interlaces her fingers and rests her chin on them with an amused smile.

Victor tried to put as much distance between himself and his opponents, especially Sorrin, as he knew that once they were away from mortal eyes, Sorrin would use his Celerity, which would give him the advantage. If I'm lucky I can get enough of a lead where he won't be able to catch up. And if I'm not lucky, I should at least have a decent shot at placing second.

She wanted to tell Alana the truth, the truth about everything. But she was nervous, hesitant. In this day and age, the idea, the concept of someone from another world was ridiculous. How would Alana react? She decided not to say anything in the risk of ruining a relationship she enjoyed very much. Misha did her best to listen carefully to Alana. She mentioned concepts and words she didn't recognize, but that's what happens when you have one dot in Intellect. Nevertheless, Misha listened to Alana with curiosity and great interest, and gave no indication that was disinterested or didn't understand. "Of course not, eet was not too much to tell Misha."she said truthfully. "That ees eenteresting to me, I hef never been to France. Maybe you can show me around one day, ya? I enjoy your company. You are businesswoman. You have talents Misha not hef. Tell me, where do you enjoy to live more, here? Or there?"
Alana pauses at the question and seemingly gets lost in a thought before smiling. "France, while very beautiful and involving, has never been my 'ideal' place to live. Don't get me wrong, I love it there. But it's always been so, restraining. Especially with my.. Family... Being there. Not to mention the closeness that is French culture. That's why most of the Camarilla and Vampires tend to hold actual seats in government. I believe it makes it easier to get away with vampire culture? It becomes hard to hide ones nature in such a close community. So to answer your question, I believe I prefer to live somewhere that allows me flexibility? The chance to explore and be involved in various culture and regions. It is much easier to visit and leave France as a tourist than to try to leave France as a citizen." She pauses for a second before tilting her head with a smile. "I wouldn't mind showing you all around one day. And don't sell yourself short. You're very capable of things I cannot do either. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. That's what make us so unique. 'Sois belle á ta façon'. Be beautiful in your own way."
