On the surface,
an Elysium of unsurpassed splendor. Beneath, something sinister lurks...
Elijah Robert
Marks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Which realms? How were the rules of those realms different from
the one we normally live in? That might help in some way."
Elijah seems unaware
that he is involved in three separate conversations at the same time.
------------------
I didn't hate the kindred; I just hunted them. Then they found me, and
then I became them.
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks questioningly at Niko
"You wouldn't happen to
know anything about those creatures that I was talking about would you."
------------------
I have forgoten my past, now if only it would forget me.-David
Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can tell you but of two of them. The third, I am both unwilling
and unable to speak of.
"The first was a city.
An immense city built of steel and glass. There was no life there that
had not been....altered. Cybernetics. It was called Autocthonia.
"The second was The Abyss.
A huge crack, a chasm really. I don't know how deep it is, and I pray
never to find out. We went deep enough that I hallucinated from sensory
deprivation.
"As far as those creatures,
I have spent time among the spirits of the dead. I never truly interacted
with them enough to find out their needs and desires. They were pretty
quiet around me.
"Krouser, you seem to
be the only one affected. Not surprising, given your apparent belief structure.
That in and of itself may provide some insight into our surroundings."
Krouser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're a lucky man, Niko."
*winces again.*
"Excuse me, I'll be right
back."
*he walks out of the room,
down the hall, and turns a corner.*
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh well I had to ask since you seem to know more about this Umbra
place then most around here. I wonder if this Hall's portals are able
to open out into this Umbra like they do into our real world?"
Looks at Krouser
"Sorry man I didn't know
that that was a name to call something with. Of course considering how
little I know about such things that isn't surprising."
------------------
I have forgoten my past, now if only it would forget me.-David
Voracia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How are you connected with this place? When I first arrived it
seemed to me as though you were the hostess, welcoming and entertaining
guests. It doesn't seem like that anymore, but you seem to know something
the rest of us don't. What, pray tell, might that be?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mmhmhmhah--
Hostess, queen--so many honors
bestowed without merit...
Don't you find it difficult
to listen when so many speak?
The smirk behind her next sentence
is almost palpable.
"And I don't mean the
voices in all of our heads--not even mine."
She steps forward, into the
light of the fire.
"I would speak, if those
present would hear."
Glittering in the dark, her
eyes turn to the fire.
Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Vash crosses his arms and leans against the wall. He opens his mouth,
as if yawning and then closes it*
Gee... I'm glad all our questions
were cleared up... if we haven't much time, shouldn't we act quickly?
*Vash turns to Krouser and
smiles*
Mr. Krouser, are you sure fair
lady Amber is anglo? She has certain talents you know...
Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I desperately hope that none of the portals lead directly into the
Umbra.
"Actually, the Garou could
probably tell you more of the Middle Umbra. A mage could possibly tell
you of all three. No harm in asking though."
Krouser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ooc/
speaking through a wall now,
vash?
save the questions for a few
hours. Krouser was stepping out so I could go to bed.
/ooc
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(To Niko)
"To bad we don't have
any of the Garou with us at the moment. There were several of them here
earlier. I wonder where they went. As for mages well I don't think one
of them has managed to find their way here as of yet. Maybe one of these
books will be of use for information, if only we could translate them
completely."
Turns to Voracia
"Well m'lady if thou art
ready to speak I am willing to listen."

Elijah Robert Marks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ooc/ OK, so I'm not quite in bed yet! I'll be hurting at work tommorrow.
If Voracia speaks, Elijah will be all ears. /ooc
------------------
I didn't hate the kindred; I just hunted them. Then they found me, and
then I became them.
Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Vash's gaze slowly moves to Voracia. He stares at her with silent attention,
waiting for her to speak*
Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Absolutely Voracia, I'd love to hear what you have to say."
Krouser
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ooc/
check my last in character post.
dear god, this place is addictive.
/ooc
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ooc/ Now if only there was a way to both sleep and to keep track of posts
without missing half a page. At least I have a late shift tomorrow so
I can stay up and play a little longer without too much lose of sleep.
(To Krouser)LOL...This place is about as addictive as crack with a nicoten
chaser./ooc
------------------
I have forgoten my past, now if only it would forget me.-David
Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC:
Addictive. Just because I find myself banging on the 'Refresh' button
like an elevator operator on crystal meth bangs on floor buttons? Does
that indicate something addictive?
Ok, you're right.
/OOC
Voracia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grains strike the glass. Again. Again.
"The Easterner has touched
upon it, though not concretely--his ideas are close to the mark in that
each separate soul who walks within these walls, walks alone.
There is a novel by Jackson..."Hill
House, not sane, stood alone against its hills..."
A moment, as though distracted.
A few notes whistled. Then:
"Walks alone. Not in form,
but in essence. In spirit. The windows discovered are singular, inconstant,
tears in the fabric. This is what I've come to rationalize in my efforts
to understand how he does it...but I am naive as I have ever been..even
after all this time..."
Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OOC Drat. It's amazing how posts creep past you while you're typing your
own :P /OOC)
Nikodemus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikodemus leans forward, smiling charmingly, inviting her to go on.
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hill house, as in the Haunting of Hill House. Good book, the movie
wasn't the best but it was okay. Of course I never wanted to be a character
in that story."
"So you are saying that
the reason that each of us is here is because we are loners or am I missing
something obvious here."
Voracia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ooc
HUNH? ADDICTIC? WHAZATALKABOUT ADDIGDID?!?
I DONTHAVEAPROBLEMSHUTUPGETOUTOFTHEWAYICANTSEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I don't know what you silly
people are talking about, 'addictive.'
(Sound of syringe plunging
into flesh)
/ooc
Vash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which movie were you talking about? There's been three...
Stormcaller
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All of them actually but the first one was the best if you ask me
though I only knew of two."
OOC/I am not addicted. I can stop any time I want to. I just don't want
to. Now give me back my mouse./OOC

"The first film did well to capture the feeling..."
Distraction. Laughter. Rubbing
of an eye.
"Hm, I have food in my
eye..."
Sharp laughter.
"Ahhahm, you think I must
have shot straight out of the loins of Malkav himself...not true. I didn't."
Deep breath.
"The doors to the Hall
are open both ways. Invitation, acceptance, satiation, dismissal. Entice.
Consumate. Release. Pax Aeternam Paternesco--Eternal familial peace.
Symbiosis.
He feeds, they feed.
The rooms, you see.
The rooms.
Here is where they come to
rest."
There is a chill, an ominous
foreboding slipping slowly, silently though the listeners, raising the
hackles, stilling the senses acute.
"I say we haven't much
time not because of the rising of the sun, but..."
A quick shudder, arms crossing,
she whispers unintelligibly, then:
"Because he will return
and close it."
