On the surface, an Elysium of unsurpassed splendor. Beneath, something sinister lurks...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ohhh, THAT HURTS, Niko. Do you honestly think I would.....NO!!!!(tries to look as innocent as possible)

Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Vash glances over his shoulder*

You could punch Mr. Krouser... of course that might prove himself all too well... maybe just a pinch?

"Do I think you would...Oh hell, I don't know, but I like you. Doesn't mean I fully trust you not to cheat at something relatively harmless, but I do like you."

"Feh...you pinch him. I'll mop up when you're done. I don't think he'd be all that amused."

Krouser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"the japanese cat speaks aright. besides, pinching me would only help if I were dreaming all of you. logicly, someone should pinch Oldan."

Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Vash rubs his finger around the edge of his glass, a pleasant note hangs in the air. He stops and looks over his shoulder*

No thanks.

*He faces forward and begins to "play" his glass again*

Krouser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Niko, Neko. Neko being japanese for cat. it fit the tone of the sentance."

OldanVisuce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Niko, you should have been Ravnos! I hadn't even thought of something so wonderfully devious as that! *frowns* Then again, I might not know you right now. Still, is the most devious, underhanded, backstabbing idea I have heard in years! Congratulations! You have out-scammed Oldan!

Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Krouser, I'm not saying you're wrong...or even making an inappropriate assumption. I just didn't expect anyone to make the connection, this quickly if at all.

Oldan, I'm quite certain you can come up with better scams than I'll ever think of. I'll still keep trying to think of 'em though.

And who said I'm not Ravnos?

Elijah Robert Marks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elijah laughs.

"If we were to assume that you were everything you explicity noted that you didn't say you weren't, you'd be the most gawdawful concoction of mismatched bloodlines in the history of the 'Children of Cain...' "

He looks at Nikodemus closely.

"I doubt you're Ravnos, though. I mean, I'd never even heard of them until I met Oldan, but... well. For one, you're still alive. Oldan is still alive, but from what we gather that is a fluke. I'm sure there are other 'flukes' walking around as well, and I hope Oldan finds them, but I haven't noticed any particular sign of recognition pass between the two fo you... you look like the kind of guy who could cover that up, but I'm pretty good at noticing things, so... well. Maybe, but I don't think so. I also didn't see any hint of the kind of grief Oldan displayed when the conversation turned to his Clan's destruction -- not that you looked particularly glad about it, but there wasn't a 'my entire bloodline has been destroyed' reaction, either!

"Also, while both you and Oldan seem as the kind of the people who hold your cards close to your chest, your 'poker faces' are, shall we say, very different. And I suspect those differences are at least partially cultural...

"At any rate, if you are you did a jolly good job of hiding it, completely and utterly, and I'm just arrogant enough to believe that you wouldn't be able to do that completely."

------------------
I didn't hate the kindred; I just hunted them. Then they found me, and then I became them.

Florindo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Florindo points the copper flute directly at Voracia, bobbing it up and down to some silent beat... The words that come from this child's mouth are of impeccable diction, though the accent placed upon them seems of less importance...

Um nome que dança na língua, minha bonita encantadora. Cante para mim e as minhas orelhas beberão sua canção. Sua voz é vinho, minha alma a xícara que enche. Minha canelura está pronta. São?

(speaks up slightly so as many as possible will hear)

Altriel, Your entry on the list says you are decended from Saulot, to my mind only three clans can claim that distinction, the Salubri who had most of their number destroyed by the second possibility the infernally corrupt Baali, they are direct decendants, then there are the Tremere who used saulot to become vampires I believe Tremere diablerised saulot taking his place and power and then embraced the Tremere, now Im not sure on the other kindred you mentioned but i am curious you claimed to be toreador but you obviously arnt so out of Salubri, Baali and Tremere which are you?

------------------
Its people like you that give kindred a bad name,
its people like me that makes it worse

Darkana1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkana fades into the shadows along a wall, several shdows move around the room, Darkana reaapears on the other side of the hall .

Stercus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack stares. "How about some english for us dumbasses? Not to many people in the mid west speak latin anylonger..."

Stercus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn, almost forgot. Whoevers betting agaist Larsen, thats the right bet" Jack says grinning, twitting his thumbs.

Darkana1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darkana gets out some sort of personal organiser it looks really posh and expensive,

Darkana mutters

Search by name,

Larson cross reference by clan gangrel,

(spoken louder)

three entries listed, others may exist

Larson ______ Priscus of the Sabbat obviously powerful low gen below 12

Larson Tate bodyguard for a Kuei-jin in Northern Hong Kong high gen probably 12

Larson ______ Archon leuitenant of the current Brujah Justicar low gen below 12

If the larson here is the first or last one on my list Im putting the money on him,

Oh Elijah

just a small point but never assume wih Kindred and take very little on what is said.

By my lack of reflection extremly pale complexion and my shadow manipulating powers i am almost certainly a Lasombra all else you have to work out, Though most are honest about their clan and most of them are honest about thier affiliation it is best to Look at evidence in behaviour rather than assume honesty it is a way to survive longer in this world.

SO based on this and my own knowledge i agree with your observation into a certain person not being a ravnos of course he could be a black sheep mistakenly embraced and left staked during the week ravnos died after all i met another ravnos in india who had been staked during ravnos's demise who was alive as it were, apart from him all other surviving ravnos I know about are thin bloods, thiugh there may be sleeping ravnos like the methusalahs

Also to Elijah

if you dont know what thin bloods are they are the 14th and 15th gens who are barely better than ghouls with almost no power or blood, most of the time they are killed shortly after their identity is revealed wheather in the camarilla, sabbat or not after all thin bloods are a sign of Gehenna and are now in great danger as everyone thinks killing them will stop Gehenna Yeah in over a 5 decades that is the silliest idea i have ever heard a cainite devise.

Florindo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Florindo's head turns toward "Jack." Half-lidded emerald eyes sparkle as a seemingly ever-present smirk parts its lips to utter forth:

Plenty of people in western Europe speak Portuguese, sir... as does the lovely lady at the bar.

The English language, despite its widespread use, is crude and undecorated.

Portuguese is a lark's song. English is a starling's.

Voracia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effect of her violent laughter leaves her upper lip and nose besmeared—

“...omigoff...” comes from behind hands instantaneously covering a potentially unsettling situation: some sharks frenzy at the smell of death. Those that ignore it have, presumably, already eaten.

And then there are those who examine the weakness, that they may best exploit it...

But if her hands have moved with unreal speed, the procurator’s offering of a silken kerchief might leave some to puzzle over whether the article hung from those exquisitely manicured fingers BEFORE the incident prompting the response...

She nods her head, removing her hands to take the prize. One hand gingerly accepts the silk which greedily blots the treasure—she eyes the simple streaks of crimson upon the free fingers as she glances about and her breath stops short—

....?!?

An image of surreality, the bloodied Venus stock-still amidst the thrall; one hand clutching ever deeper into folds of softest silk, the other splayed wide—an avant-garde tableau of Lady MacBeth against the tides of madness personified...

(Tangent pulse of vitae electric stinging on the tongue and rush of ice into the senses invigorate incarnate, coal-hot moisture on the upper lip forgotten all forgotten save the sight O merciful fancy protect me from this night of knights release me O memory God release me O Singer what song wouldst thou carry on the e’er inconstant wind—)

A Whisper Resounding

“Is this the lark or nightingale I see,
Perch-poiséd on the bough of shady tree?
One is death and swift, the other free
At least 'til morn, when all must turn and flee”

Stock still amidst the swirling tides of unlife all about, her focus on a single copper flute...

Thummm

The guests are interrupted by the striking of a chord of thunder...or is it a drum...or a heartbeat...

Her eyes close as she shudders. Elijah notes a minute flash of diamonds from the pattern in the floor surrounding her feet, then all as before...

Thummm

From somewhere within, without, the chord again, rich, resolute—drawn out to resemble a long, slow draw on an upright bass...

ThummmMMMmmm....

“What wouldst thou bear me present, Jongleur?”

It is a plaintive, almost helpless entreaty, that of a child prodigy placed upon the stage the first time—closed eyes, hands into fists, as though expecting something ominous to behold—and fearing it.

The rhythmic discourse continues...

------------------
"Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."
--Shakespeare, The Dead Poet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My bad, there buck-o.

English my be 'crude' but its still what I understand. We americans are never wrong.

with that a gritty grin opens in Jacks mouth.

Stormcaller

:: From table against the wall a man that appears in his early twenties puts his drink down and gets up from his chair. He is 5'10 with medium length brown hair and grey eyes. If one takes the time to actually look into his eyes they will notice that they appear to belong to someone of a much greater age than the owner appears to be. He slowly walks from his table to the group gathered at the bar passing Larson on the way. As he passes the words posser idiot can be heard mummbled under in a low tone.::

Mind if I join this little gathering you have here. It looks much more interesting than sitting alone. Oh, and my moneys on Krouser. By the way the name's David.

Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikodemus looks around at the quickly growing crowd

"This party seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

"Have a seat. Take a load off. You may as well give the Ravnos anything you have of value...he's going to have it before you stand up next anyhow."

OldanVisuce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oldan is thinking that Larson has left. He has been gone long time now. *sighs* I guess bets are off. Is too bad, I thought I could win some money on him. May be a BigToughGuy, but a few of us "weaklings" make jokes at him and he leave. I never understand BigToughGuys!

Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oldan, I think you understand a lot more than you let on."

Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*checks pockets and turns to Oldan*

Sorry to hear about your clan Oldan. Good luck finding other survivors.
