Collaboration between Ghost Shadow, Major Ursa, YoshiSkittlez, and GuardianAngelHaruki

The sky was starting to turn a deep purple color as the last beams of sunlight were hiding behind them. Henry found a parking space and exited the car hastily, adjusting his glasses as he examined the sign confirming he had reached the right location. 

"Clever title, that. Though I doubt Rabbit would appreciate a bar being named after him." He commented to himself with a half-smile as he thought of the outburst the creature would throw, were he here to witness this. 

With a shrug, Henry entered the building; the smell of cigarette smoke and booze hitting him like a freight train. The lighting, at best, was dim; with only a few lamps and candles to light up the place. There were a few tables spread across the interior and a number of pool tables for entertainment. A long wooden bar stood at the back end with all sorts of beverages lined up to purchase. 

Henry found himself a random table prepared to seat 4, checking his cell phone for the time as he awaited his companions. 

Not too far away from the table, Ruby was already at play; hunched over the green fabric of one of the dozen pool tables with a pool stick placed carefully between her knuckles on one hand and using the other to control the power of her shot. With a quick overview of the position of the stripes and solids, Ruby tapped the white ball cue and watched as the green striped ball sink into the far corner. There was an audible groan of a few men standing at the table next to her, and soon they were pulling out crumpled up dollar bills, throwing them onto the pool table center and taking their leave. 

"Sorry boys, maybe tomorrow night." Smiling, Ruby collected the green and stuffed them into her bra underneath The transluscent white half t-shirt she was wearing, the same shirt she had been wearing at the diner only now...away from the work place, there was only a single button keeping the shirt together, having no shame whatsoever about the fact that her red lace bra covered up more of her than her shirt did; at least the bra matched the red streaks in her hair.

Henry put his phone back in his pocket, noticing Ruby quite efficiently defeat a multitude of opponents in pool. After this initial observation, he took in her outfit,or lack thereof; raising his eyebrows in mischievious curiosity. 

He walked over to where she still stood by the pool table, reaching into his coat and pulling out a pack of cigarettes, grabbing one before putting the rest of the pack away. "Got a light?" He asked with a feisty grin. 

Ruby took a minute to set the pool stick down, leaning it against the pool table before approaching Henry with an equally mischevious grin, pressing out her chest to him just slightly.

"If you can find it..." she purred.

The clock on the wall ticked to the exact hour right before [i]she[/i] came into the Rabbit Hole. The men in the bar turned their attention to her once again. In came the mysterious woman of the rumors. She wore a nice short black dress that flattered her body greatly, and yet had a classy air, unlike Ruby's attire. 

Her hips swayed as she walked, and she flipped her hair out of the way when it fell into her eyes, and a smile played on her face. She caught sight of Henry, who was with Red, and her grin grew wider. She sent a coy wink his way, as her heels clicked as she went to sit at the bar. At the bar she ordered the bartender in a smooth voice, "Scotch on the rocks, sweetheart," The bartender hurredly got what she asked for. 

Ruby's attention quickly moved from Henry to the woman just entering the Rabbit Hole and her red lips fell from their smirk, clearly unhappy to see the woman.

"Oh God...her..." she said with an obvious air of disdain just loud enough for only Henry to hear.

Henry looked quite confused at the new woman who just entered the bar. "Who's that, then?" He asked in a voice matching the volume of Ruby's. "I take it she has a bit of a...reputation around here?" He added, intrigued. 

Ruby turned around to face Henry directly, putting her back to the woman and blocking his view of her, her face once playful and bright now firm and serious.

"There arent many people here in Storybrooke...it's easy to know everything about everyone. I can tell you the names of everyone here in this bar; where they live...even their favorite color..." Ruby turned just slightly to look over her shoulder at the woman. "...except her...no one knows who she is, where she came from or where she lives." She turned back to face Henry. "its...its just weird..."

"Well..." Henry began with an offbeat nod of his head, taking off his glasses as he did so. "It doesn't look like she's doing any harm right now. You don't know much about me either, do you?" He asked Ruby with an almost seductive smirk, just the right amount to show interest without being overbearing. 

Stepping into the bar, Knox took note of the strong scent of smoke and alcohol…but he paid this no actual mind. Walking on over to a table in the back, Knox checked his cellphone for texts, but shut it off and took his seat when he saw none. The table didn’t look clean enough, and he ate breakfast at a certain diner where a certain waitress didn’t know how to clean tables correctly. Speaking of a certain waitress, he couldn’t help but notice her on the other side of the room, hanging off of newcomer. That was no business of his.
 
Knox came here to do one thing and one thing alone…and that was to have his few drinks, company or no company. Then…he can get home and check those damn hospital sign-in logs, watched those hours long security footage for his damn anomalies. Waiting a minute for the server to come over, he asked for the strongest drink they had. With strong alcohol tolerance, if not the closest thing to immunity to it, he’d need it strong.

The mysterious woman noticed that Ruby was distracting Henry, but she only smirked. Two could play at this game. She scanned the bar, and soon landed eyes on the man in the back. He was quite attractive and her smile grew wider. She stood up from the bar, taking her scotch with her, and as she sat at his table, she greeted smoothly, her black irised eyes staring at him, "Hey there. Mind if I joined you?"

Snapping out of a near boredom stupor, he gazed at the woman…all Knox could say was that she had a similar level of attractiveness to Ruby, though to a different style, she was strongly confident in herself, and she already had some to drink. The woman also had predator eyes, and she didn’t seem to have drunk enough, as she seemed solidly sober. Meeting her eyes, Knox tilted his head ever so slightly opened his mouth to speak to her, the corners curling down to and obvious half frown matched to his slightly furrowed eyebrows (blah blah blah), “Yes, I do mind.”

The woman sniffed in mock hurt, "Ouch. Giving me the cold shoulder are we? How cruel!" She crossed her legs, not to appeal to Knox, but to Henry. She commented, "You're quite the heartbreaker aren't you? Strong, tall, and quite handsome. How many hearts [i]did[/i] you break?" She leaned towards his ear, and her bone chilling breath tickled at his ear as she whispered in his ear, "It's a good way of getting yourself [i]hurt[/i]," 

She leaned away from him and smiled at him, and she drank some of scotch, her eyes still directly on Knox, and her peripheral vision on Henry. 

Ruby watched the entire spectacle from her standpoint beside Henry, her eyes narrowed as she realized that this...girl found Knox before she had. "You want a light?" Ruby asked Henry. "You got one." She left Henry's side and stormed over to Knox and the girl, her red heels clicking loudly on the lenolium and didnt stop until she had reached the table. "Actually...he's with me." Ruby told her hotly before glancing over at Henry. "They both are, so I suggest you do your fishing elsewhere."

Henry could do little from his spot except watch the altercation unfold quite suddenly. He found his feet moving towards Ruby's position near Knox's table, but more relaxed and easygoing than her obviously angry storm. 

He let his tongue roll about in his mouth for a bit while waiting for this to be over, looking quite curiously at the unknown girl. She was attractive, no doubt. But something was off, the way she looked at people - as if they were prey to be chased and slaughtered, naturally giving off a sense of caution and wariness. Henry made a mental note to keep a safe distance from this one. 

The woman's gaze moved from Knox to Ruby when she stood over her and spoke angrily. It amused the woman that Ruby was so angry, but she didn't show amusement. Instead she remained calm, the smile still on her face as she retorted to Ruby, "Now now, there's no need to project your actions onto me. I'm just making conversation. Besides, falsely accusing people is no way to behave in front of our guest," She nodded pointedly to Henry when she said guest. She stood up and walked past Ruby, and as she did, she whispered into Ruby's ear, "You know, green really isn't your color," 

She then walked closer to Henry and she said to him in a friendly and still smooth and seductive manner, "Well, I've never seen you before. Welcome to Storybrooke," 

Pursing his lips in a very peeve manner, Knox stood up from his seat and dismissed the server with his beer…he wasn’t in the mood for drinks anymore; he could feel a migraine coming on. Reaching into his jacket pocket, he pulled out his wallet and pulled a twenty from it. Pushing past Ruby, without a word, he went over to the lady who he really couldn’t care to know the name of, tapping her on the shoulder…before rather audaciously sticking the rolled up twenty right into the top of her dress, in the cleavage. This whole time, Knox had a rather annoyed expression as he turned and left out the front; the bar just about fell silent at this spectacle.
 
Knox…he wasn’t the easiest to read, but at this moment, it seemed quite evident that he thought the woman nothing more than a lowly hooker. The polite thing to him was to at least pay her for her damn time wasted, even if she only served to annoy the hell out of him.

The woman looked to Knox when he went up to her and after he stuck a twenty in her cleavage. She had an offended gaze as she glared at Knox. After he was gone, she commented "Well, that was most certainly rude and uncalled for!"

She took out the twenty and she handed it to Ruby saying, "Here, you can have it," 

Ruby eyed the twenty and then narrowed her eyes at the woman. she snatched the money away from her and shot a quick, apologetic look to Henry before quickly following Knox outside.

The woman shrugged and commented out loud, "I guess that's what I get for trying to make friends, huh,"
