He rubbed his chin. "I see," he muttered. "Where is he? Or, rather, where are you?"

"His castle."
*She sighed softly*
"I don't know what it is that brings me here. I'll try to resist it. It's only giving both of us false hopes."

Sweeney shook his head. "It can't be. I know you probably don't think this is real, but it is. I promise you." He looked to the window, which was showing the bright orange sunrise. "It seems our time grows short. Irene, I swear upon my wife's grave, you will be saved if it's the last thing I do."

"I fear it may be."
*She took his hand, then faded away to nothing*

Sweeney opened his eyes slowly. Quickly, he got dressed and began pacing about the room. So she was being held captive in a castle by a vampire named Dracula. Naturally, he needed to find a few vampire hunters—surely there were a few around Paris. He knew that it would be dangerous, but he had to do this. It would almost be like rescuing Lucy. Holding his head up with determination, Sweeney walked out to go find help.

***NEW DAY?***
*steps in, dressed simply in gray trousers, a matching jacket and a white shirt. Without any wigs or make up, she had short, shaggy dark brown hair and androgynous features.*
"I just need a trim, please."

Sweeney put on his apron and smiled at the woman. "Of course," he said, grabbing a pair of scissors. "What is your name?" he asked.

*NEW NIGHT*
A tall, curvaceous woman with wild red hair strutted out of the mist outside the barber shop.
"Hello," she said, with what might have been a Transylvanian accent. "I heard you were in need of a vampire hunter, and I considered your offer."
She smiled, revealing a pair of bright, sharp fangs where most people keep their canine teeth.
"And I thought- who better to track a vampire than a vampire?"

((Goodness, everyone wants a piece of Sweeney today! ;D ))
Sweeney stuttered a little. "Er... Thank you," he said, looking around the shop to see if there was anything he could use to protect himself should he need it. Spying a crucifix in the corner, he looked back to the vampire. "Please, come in."

"Gladly."
She stepped inside, and it suddenly became obvious that most of her long skirt was transapent black tulle, and her "real" skirt was very short and very tight. Her blouse, too, was made of the same material, and only a black corset served any modest purpose.

Sweeney offered her a seat in the barber chair. "So, do you think you could help me rescue a woman from Dracula?" he asked.

*Imogen smiled coolly at the barber.*
"Sam."

"Well, you know how it is. You consult a thief to catch a thief, you consult a maniac to catch a maniac..."

((Okay, this is gonna get confusing. I'll just put whoever I'm replying to's name at the top of the post. This is Imogen.))
He began to cut her hair. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sam. As you have probably guessed, I am Sweeney Todd."

He nodded. "And how do I know I can trust you? Thiefs and maniacs are not the most noble of beings, and neither are vampires."
