Ivan was sat with his head resting against the wall at a table near the entrance, a cigarette dangling from his lips.  As Nick appeared he slipped his fingers around it, pulling it away and letting out a stream of smoke.  “Law breaking I guess,” he responded.  The other looked somewhat agitated and Ivan assumed he had heard the news - everyone had.  The only difference was it didn’t bother the witch either way.  “Gonna make me put it out?”

The vampire merely smirked, though the action didn’t reach his eyes, as he merely came to a pause just before the other man. “I was going to suggest you put it out of your own accord, but if you’re going to have to force me, I’ll warn you my version of making is usually quite bloody, and I would hate to ruin that pretty face of yours.”

Joslyn made her way to Nina’s when she needed a change of scenery from Purgatory or she just plain wanted to torture Nick. Given that she’d heard he was back she figured the latter was a good reason to visit tonight. That’s how she found herself perched on the bar top drinking his oldest bottle of bourbon straight from the bottle with Cheshire grin on her lips. “It’s called drinking love, it’s what one does in an establishment like this, is it not? Don’t be such a downer. It’s not like I’m eating your customers, it’s tempting after all. ” 

“Pardon me darling, it’s just so rare that a Blackwell that isn’t your brother crosses into my humble establishment.” he teased lightly, Of course, it wasn’t entirely true. Of all the Blackwells, Joslyn was just as likely as Lukas to be here, but he still made the dig. “You’re paying for that, by the way.” he replied, ducking down behind the bar to grab a bottle of his own, “I couldn’t give a fuck if you began to eat them in all honesty, though your siblings might frown upon it.”

Theresa thought she could come by Nina’s, have one drink, and then go to her restaurant. But with the news of the Clave members and her mind going to Jonathan and his sister that night. Nick’s thoughts jolted out of her thoughts when he asked what was going on. “I don’t know, why don’t you ask someone else,” she snapped, throwing back her drink.

He merely smirked at the woman’s reaction, unphased by the normally calm woman’s obviously snappy attitude. “But, I clearly got such a thrilling answer from you why would I bother?” he replied with a cold smile. “You know, snappy doesn’t suit you... you don’t quite have the follow-through that it takes to truly be a grump.”

     NICHOLAS  ADLER

(age.) one hundred twenty four (species.) vampire (occupation.) owner of nina’s (residency.) arrived may 2017 (mirror.) theo james

❝  a pavement of the past

Born in the dying moments of 1894, Nicholas Adler was one of the last babies born in the year, the oldest child of an upper-class British family with a silver spoon firmly in mouth and his parents nowhere in sight. Mr. and Mrs. Adler had little interest in raising his son, and he spent his childhood in the company of a constant stream of nannies and servants who were given one instruction: whatever he wants, he gets, as long as he remained out of his parent’s way. As such, Nicholas was raised with a sense of entitlement, something that earned him equal amounts of fans and enemies over the years. The arrival of his sister when he was ten added to that, whilst Nina was a welcome addition to the family, or to Nicholas’ at least, she was given the same treatment.

From the moment he held Nina though, Nicholas knew there and then that no matter what happened, there would be no doubt he would at least protect her. For the first time in his life, a family member wanted to be around him and wanted to know him. He got the love that he didn’t get from his parents from her, wherever he went she was soon followed and this tone set their entire childhood with Nina following in her big brother’s shadow. They were best friends, and the moment that Nicholas turned eighteen he left the home of his parents with Nina in tow. Nina balanced Nicholas out, she was everything he wasn’t: she was kind, she had morals that were beyond her years, they were chalk and cheese. He needed her, and she needed him.

Moving to America, the siblings found themselves in 1920′s Chicago, taking full advantage of the roaring twenties and everything they had to offer. He enjoyed a fully hedonistic lifestyle, a stream of women and parties, and much like his childhood, whatever Nick wanted he was given. He became a selfish man, flirtatious, charming, popular but ultimately cruel in the way he would toy with hearts than break them. To him women were very much like his childhood toys, his to play with and then to discard when he was bored with them, and Nicholas got bored very easily. Nina was the only exception to that rule, she was the only one allowed to stand up to him, and the only one that told him when she thought he was being an ass, which was often.

However, their journey would take a different turn when Nicholas met someone different from the other women that he had tried to discard. She was enigmatic, beautiful, and equal to him in charm, if not more charming. She had a way of wrapping you around her finger without really realizing it, and before he could realize she was offering him a different life to the one he had, even if by accident. An offer of immortality was a dream to a man like Nicholas, he didn’t even really need to think it through as he completed the transition moments after learning what he had become. He wasn’t expecting to crave so much or for everything to be so heightened. In his excitement, exacerbated by his makers’ carefully crafted stories, he sought out his sister and tried to convince her to take the same choice.

Nina took some convincing, but she finally agreed, and within a few days of his transformation he turned his sister as well. The two set off together to continuing traveling, realizing that in their new state they couldn’t stay in one place for long, and together they traveled over the world experiencing everything they could. Nicholas turned people indiscriminately, taking to the immortal lifestyle all too well as he used his powers mostly to enjoy the lifestyle he had back in New York. As the years played on, Nina’s ability to tone her brother down became weaker and weaker, and yet she still tried to remain by his side.

He never thought they would be parted, his sister was the one constant in their lives even over a century, yet it didn’t last long. In the winter of 1997, they had returned to Chicago and found themselves on the wrong side of a pack of werewolves. They’d fought as hard as they could, but soon enough Nina fell, piercing scream bringing him to his knees beside her as the pack scattered. She’d been bitten, and despite his best efforts to get help for her, she succumbed to the bite soon after. Without his sister, his anchor, Nick spiraled and without hesitation hunted down the pack that killed her. He killed indiscriminately, wiping out the pack without hesitation and from then on he traveled still, trying to escape the memories of his little sister and how he’d failed in his one job: to protect her.

He had originally heard of Hollow Grove’s establishment when the safe haven first opened after the supernatural war, and Nina had wanted to move there for a break, but he had no interest in settling down in a small town and Nina didn’t want to settle without him. However, almost twenty years after her death he was wandering to another place when Hollow Grove came to mind, and he found himself crossing into the town borders. The town has changed him, from run-ins with Jett, a lover of one of the wolves he killed, to meeting people that he didn’t think he’d be able to care about and opening his own jazz club reminiscent of the Chicago and life he’d loved , the vampire slowly began to realize that his humanity was switching back on, and his humanity became apparent during the New Year of 2018. Nick’s a different man to the one he was nine months ago, he’s changed for the better and isn’t sure how to handle that, still reluctant to let people see that side of him as he tries to navigate a new side to him that he hasn’t seen for over twenty years.

Yet, the man Nicholas was trying to become was threatened once more with the revelation that Nina had been resurrected shortly after her death, and had been searching for him for two decades. It was one thing to justify his mass killings when it had been avenging her death, but now she was alive he doesn’t know if he can live with all that blood on his hand, and the knowledge that there are people out there with their own revenge on the mind. Her safety is paramount, and it seems the safest thing for her to do is to be far away from him. With many bad decisions under his belt, after the Blood Moon in which his friend’s sister was killed, the town in chaos, it felt as though all he could do was walk away.

So he did.

Finding himself in Europe, he’s spent the past few months drinking away his emotions. His emotions switched off, he’s reverted to the soulless monster that came to town just over two years ago. Yet, there are people in the town that refuse to let him just hideaway, and he’s found himself dragged back to Hollow Grove unable to ignore the fact that the town is and always will be, home.

❝  the nature of the beast

With his emotions on, he’s best described as a charming playboy with a good heart deep down. He doesn’t mean to treat people the way he does, to discard them so easily but with no other examples of how to behave growing up, it’s the only life he knows how. But without his emotions, he forgets about the things that matter, and the messages that Nina tried to remind him off, he forgets how to be good, and how to be the big brother that she thought he was. With humanity, he is a man of great strength and nobility, he just hasn’t found a reason to show that side of himself yet. Instead, he’s just enjoying everything that there is to enjoy about being a vampire, either way, he takes pleasures in a more adrenaline-filled lifestyle, parties, drugs, alcohol, and sex.

He had been back all of two minutes when he’d seen the news about the Clave attacks, sighing a little as he threw the notice onto his desk, stepping down into Nina’s as he glanced over the crowd. The Clave was still on his mind, the aftereffects of Blood Moon still in his mind. Finally, he settled on something in particular, brows contorting in confusion. “What the fuck is going here hm?”

“Oh please, this town is so boring that I can just go to sleep in it and I’ll never know if a party happens,’ Val chuckled before rubbing his chin, thinking about it.”Causing chaos, ruining people’s lives and working on my anger-not in that order.”  

“That’s why you have to go out and make the fun.” he replied with a grin, “Ew why would you work on your anger? Self-improvement is bullshit.”

“Oh Adler, you should know I’m not afraid of anything,” she replied, matching his smirk and moving to shoo one of the others away and sink down onto the couch next to him.  “I hope their best in the house is good, you have high expectations to meet now.” 

“That’s bullshit, everyone is afraid of something,” he replied, strangely candid for a moment with is expression before he quickly schooled his features back into a more neutral expression, watching the girl who’d been shooed with little emotion at seeing her go. “If I enjoy it, you know it’s good you should trust that I don’t like shit drinks by now darling.”

Dani winced at the mention of her full name, her nose wrinkling in disgust. “Oh, the full names now. Am I in trouble?” She asked, her voice slightly higher, for a dramatic effect. Dani let him go on about the woman, though she fully knew after who he had named the club. After all, she’d met Nina, and she’d told a story of the one brother who named the bar after her. It wasn’t rocket science putting the two together. “Oh, really? Dirty little minx?” Ignoring the woman who was almost drooling over Nick, she walked over and leaned over to whisper in his ear. “Is that a nice way to speak about your sister like that?” She chuckled as she moved back, a grin spreading over her face. “It’s okay, I feel like you’ve got a nice mixture of easy there. Careful, that one is drooling over your shirt.” 

"If you want to be,” he replied with a grin, though he froze a little as she whispered in his ear before recovering quickly. “Nope, not named after her anymore. I decided she doesn’t deserve it, Miss Simone was far more deserving anyway,” he replied, annoyed with Nina after how their reunion had gone. How dare she be mad at him when she’d stayed away for so long? It wasn’t her fault that she’d died, it had been him, but to let him believe that she was gone hurt him. But then to be angry for him wanting to switch off his emotions, for not wanting to feel -- he was angry over the judgment. “Oh come on, you used to be more fun I swear.”

“Flattered.” Jonathan dryly stated at the revelation that Nick’s new company had apparently heard about him.  He mused before rolling his eyes. “Only because you mentioned it. And if we were taking a Europe vacation, Emma would be coming with me. We did a good amount of traveling ourselves over the past few months anyway. While a certain friend wouldn’t answer messages.” He gave Nick a pointed look. “You sure there’s any alcohol left?”

"You should be! I was being very complimentary,” he replied with a grin. Though, he rolled his eyes at the mention of Emma, “No, no that’s no fun she’s no fun.” he replied, almost pouting a little at the thought. “We could get Lukas, and Valentin if you’re going to invite guests people who know how to have fun.” he replied, “There’s always alcohol left, and I answered I just didn't send my answers.”
