On the surface,
an Elysium of unsurpassed splendor. Beneath, something sinister lurks...
Elijah Robert
Marks ------------------ Kassius perhaps gleaning information will decipher this situation... "...And the shadows wore a thousand faces..." A sacrificed Hulul Sudsaroo
Elijah. I don't want you too. Far far from that. However I know the path you are taking. By trying to decipher the Jyhad you become and intricate part of it. Are the Inconnu a part of the Jyhad? Not really. Also by trying to figure out your part in everything you feel like more and more of a pawn. I say, F U C K the Antidulvians. Forget them. They are things of the past, asleep and they can't decide who I'm going to kill tonight anymore than who I will look like next. Or what gender I choose to be. Oh and Kroder? Do you really belive that I am a human? I am very very far from it. Can I reproduce? Hardly. Do I eat? No. And my genetic structure is very very far from that of humans. With my ability to rip flesh from myself and regrow it within a second I'm going to figure out how the sun kills us. Watch what it does from my detached skin. *Amber pulls out a clear glass tube which is opened at one end, and an extremely sharp machety* I hope nobody minds a little bit of a mess. Call me a Masochist but I think I'm going to enjoy this. *Amber puts the tube on the bar, takes the machety in her right hand, holds her left arm out. She raises the machety. Smiles, and then brings it down upon herself. The detached arm falls to the floor in a shower of blood. She puts the knife down, picks up the arm, puts it in a the tube and seals it.* Bartender! A drink, I'm feeling rather thirsty. *Amber looks at the bloody stump where her left arm used to be. The blood receeds and the flest and bone extend and grow to create...an exact replica of the arm which was just cut off! Amber smiles and flexes her new finger while admiring her nails* Very nice. I do so love doing that. Elijah! I have a question for you. Pondering this may soon determine whether you are truly a Malky as it will surely test your sanity and humanity. How do you feel being that which you have dedicated you life killing. You are now that which you have come to hate. Everything which you set to destroy is now within you. How have you not betrayed yourself by not kissing the light of the sun? *Amber takes the drink from the bar and quickly drinks the vitae.* -Amber Sudsaroo Vash Umm... I just found out how I can ignore pretty, young ladies. Gwynhala "Illusory chess boards. Perhaps the Tall Man himself will show them to us. Do you know how we can find HIM?" (to Oldan) "I was born in Cappadocia, though I relocated to Europe while still a child. Interesting thought, Oldan...my piece is the same color as yours and that of Nikodemus." Stormcaller I wonder if piece color is based on your original location. Is it the location of your birth or the location of your rebirth or embrace. Turns to Gwynhala I will take you there or if you would rather go alone I can tell you how to get there. When we originally went after Elijah and Altiriel we put a burning candle at each intersection so we would be able to find our way back. So, do you want to go now or do you want to wait for some others to decide to come with us. ------------------ Gwynhala "You are David, right? I don't think we have been introduced. Gwynhala, of clan Brujah. Thank you for your help." "You say candles mark the path to the chess board room? I think we should return there quickly. Illusory or not, it's the only place anyone has seen either the Tall Man, or the other chess boards, that Elijah and Altiriel mentioned. Time..." *motions to the hourglass on the table beside the board, the sand falling steadily through it* "...conspires against us, if we are to believe what has been said tonight." Stormcaller "Yes, I am David and I am sorry that I didn't introduce myself to you earlier but it has been a bit hectic lately. I wish I could tell you my clan in return but I can't remember at the moment though I do have an idea." "Well since you wish to get to the room as quickly as possible I guess we will be leaving soon. Let us see if anyone wants to come with us first though." Turns to group around the chess board "Do any of you wish to return to the room that we found this board in or do you wish to remain here and try to figure out this one's mysteries with out the others to look at?" ------------------ Gwynhala OldanVisuce That is just WRONG! *Switches position with Vash* No Vash, you were interested, Oldan wasn't. You get to look, Oldan gets to hide. *starts cursing in Romanian about weird girls and Kindred with sick minds* Altiriel, remember I beg you not to preach? Please be preaching at....THAT. *points at Amber* Someone needs help, and for once is not Niko or Larson. *mumbles* Or me. Stormcaller To coterie gathered outside door. "Well this is it. Maybe we will find some answers inside. Maybe we will be able to find out where those extra chess boards are and they will help us find out what is going on here." ------------------ Vash Yes yes, but I'm not attracted now... she's all yours, friend! Krouser "The mereist trick of the blood is not enough to prove that your core is not human, Tkin. It is, after all, human blood that begain in your veins. You can deny your humanity as much as you like, you can even feign godhood. It does not change the crowd of spirits hovering about you, laughing and chanting." *lets the light fade away, and smiles lightly.* "I can hear them. They chant, 'Fool human locked in Caine's embrace, yet nothing lost in that sad case.' Vash understands my point," *looks to Vash, hiding behind Oldan, and grins.* "Don't you, Vash?" Kassius if only to witness where this
madness leads " turn red the moon..
as our Gehenna comes soon..." Vash Yes, yes! That's just wrong! You tell her, Mr. Krouser! Krouser "I beleive the line is, 'turn black the sun, turn blood the moon, Gehenna is coming soon.' My sire was trying to assemble the book of nod. I picked up a few things." *flashes Kassius a sly look.* "try this one." "Time and space never ending. Disturbing thoughts, questions pending. Limitations of human understanding. Too quick to criticize, obligation to survive. We hunger to be alive" Kassius "as for the quote, the priest 'mouse' screamed it as I watched a Settite remove his heart... Quite an ordeal to go through... or so it seemed from my vantage point." "needless to say the Priest did not survive the operation." Krouser "Does this deluded creature frighten you, Vash? Come on, sit down, have a drink." *pulls out his flask, extending it to Vash. unfortunatly, to reach the flask, Vash would have to come within arms length of Amber.* "You know what I pack. Just say the word, and I'll lock her in one of those rooms in the back halls." *looks back to Kassius.* "yup. Xavier got all three of 'em. They're lined up for the embrace, as soon as they're a little more obscure." Kassius Nikodemus "Dammit, I like a woman who doesn't pretend she's a human....though I like Voracia as well. Ach well, I never claimed to be consistent." Kassius * Kassius is openly shocked by this news* Krouser *slaps his free hand against his forehead as Niko speaks, and mutters.* "They just won't listen. They hear me, they nod and smile, but they just won't listen." Nikodemus
"Don't jump ahead of yourself, young boxer. "There are whole levels of abuse you must withstand before you can claim our name.... "You do know that we were just kidding. Just intro yourself in the appropriate space and we'll count the whole "prince" thing out of the way.
