A night time stroll

Feb 28th, 2015 02:13 PM

Spencer, amatour of late walks, was passing near the Nox Populi, the "Ellysium", as he should call (and does call) it now. Just a few days ago he got Acknowledged. He now felt even smaller in this world of truth. In the night of that meeting, he realised the size of this hidden society of the Kindred.

At the sight of the chunk of Predators, he felt again that feel that he hated: the beast raging inside. His eyes widened for a single second, before blinking a few times. He was dressed as usual, in tight black jeans... And the usual T-Shirt and checkered shirt combination, though the black leather jacket he whore for warming himself was hiding those.

The lady with a missing leg gained his attention.
"Good evening, miss. I was just taking a late walk, but I heard you talk about a tour of some kind. May I join you ?" .

The big-enough group somewhat embarassed him, but Spencer kept his gentle, confident smile on his face, while looking at the gathered people with his passionate eyes.

"Dang. I was a little to direct there. "

Rina nodded at the others as she was introduced, then returned her attention to Martha. "I had heard something along those lines. What locations did you intend to look at, exactly?" Or maybe it was just a walk about the Domain. Rina didn't particularly care either way, there would probably be other things that would be pointed out.

When Gerald arrives, Katya tightens her neck and feels the spike of anger surge through her consciousness again and she digs her nails into her skin, the pain as a way to focus her angst as she fights to keep it in check. She wasn't sure how many more arrivals to the party she could take without wanting to tear them to shreds.

She hears her name being mentioned by Martha and she re-focuses, giving polite nod to Gerald and Fionn "Gentleman." she says.

Then she hears Martha mention the Asylum and that catches her attention even more. She eyes Fionn in curiosity once more and wonders how familiar he and Martha are with the BDSM location, wondering if they were using it as a place to dine or if they used it for its actual purpose. For now she remains silent and will wait before speaking to them about it. In the meantime, she turns to Martha, wondering just what is on the itinerary for this ever expanding group. When she sees another gentleman approach the group and ask to join them, she stops to scan the group as a whole and wonders just how many new kindred have arrived in addition to her.

I feel like we should be wearing shirts that say "I <3 Sacramento"

Granny always liked parks, she liked to be close to nature in a city and found them to be their own kind of oasis in a world that was otherwise. Very sterile and grey. Her meeting with the other daeva was interesting and she had found more than a few things which she might think about. At this moment the elderly lady was dressed in a pale pink dress with a white shawl around her shoulders. The only objects on her was a cane and a small handbag. From time to time she stopped walking in order to examine a tree or look at the sky.

She finally found a certain flower she knew and was very fond of. It was a kind of flower that only bloomed during the night, blue and very radiant in the light of the moon. "How delightful" she commented to herself with a faint smile, she tried to remember what the flower was called, but it seemed to slip her mind at that moment. Most unfortunate.

"Katya, Rina and Fionn. My, my... is this not a motley group?" He makes eye contact with the three of them in turn, still smiling, with his gaze at Katya lasting just a little longer. His words are spoken with an unmistakable air of one who thinks of himself highly. As if he finds the assembled Kindred novel or quaint.

"Katya is in luck, then. If I might be so bold, Martha seems to have an expansive repertoire of knowledge about the city. She was kind enough to show me around on my first night."

With the most recent arrival, Gerald is relieved not to experience another surge of hostility from his Beast. It may be in my best interests to learn how to do that. Better for public relations. Gerald nods and smiles towards the newcomer in the black leather jacket. then returns his attention to Martha.

Fionn gave a broad friendly smile, trusting in his harmless appearance to avoid ruffling feathers at this early stage.

"So many new faces, a pleasure to meet you all. I've never had the tour so being escorted by Martha should be a treat."

His eye lingers for a moment on Katya, looking her in the face. Not staring at her eyes, his head moves slightly as he traces the patterns of her tattoos, then he looks away before she feels like she's being perved over.
Barely speaking as if mostly to himself.
"What remarkable tattoos. Fascinating."

Turning to Gerald, offering his hand and giving a friendly handshake.

"A pleasure to meet you sir, please forgive me for asking but are you French?
To meet a fellow European in this place far from our homeland would be quite a treat.
"

His voice a little hopeful, to meet a European in this strange place would certainly be a most interesting experience.

Turning to the other new arrival in the jacket.

"Good evening sir, my names Fionn. No harm is plain speaking. I don't believe we've met before, have you been in the city long?"

Offering his hand and giving a friendly handshake.

Fionn saw Rina there too and his voice became a little more strained.

"Good evening Whip Yui, what a pleasure to see you again."

Fionn adjusted his position in the group keeping a little distance between him and Rina.

**Martha Villiers** · Mar 2nd, 2015 07:29 AM

Martha nods to Spencer and happily smiles to both he and Fionn too. As people chat and become acquainted, she nodded to Rina too.

"Ladies and gentleman, the question was just raised about the plan for the evening..." she smiled and from the inside pocket of her school blazer, she produced a printout of a map of Sacramento, she's sketched onto it the rough outlines (but unnamed) of the main territories of the Prisci. Showing it to those close enough to see, she adds; "... Here's a map, crudely drawn and annotated, but hopefully still useful, with the planned route for tonight. If we become separated, or danger looms, we can scatter and rendezvous back here." she smiles sweetly, nodding knowingly to Katya and Gerald, as if confident that they can handle most trouble on their own, she's clearly trying to keep a light tone.

"First, we can take a stroll along to the seat of power, the Capitol. Then the Rose Park, the Tower Bridge, a very elegant riverboat which is often used as a place of entertainment, then the Lily club and the Rage, where some people host regular cage-fighting contests and the Asylum and finally we can relax with a stroll to a roadhouse to play pool and chat... Along the way I shall show you the limits of the Boss's private playground and the limits of the territory of the Boss's 2-IC's..." she smiles, nodding as if to hint that she hopes everyone will grasp her attempt to conceal the real meaning of these phrases, "... If anyone has any questions, please ask!"

While she speaks, tiny Martha then offers the map to her nearest companion as if inviting her to study it and pass it along.

Smiles to the gentleman that presented himself as Fionn, accepting his handshake. He nods once in response, talking calmly.

"Excuse me for not presenting myself before asking about joining this night tour. I am Spencer. I lived here before my...well, death.". A soft chuckle follows. "But as a Kindred...I am pretty fresh, so to say. I was acknowledged a few days ago."

He turns to the gathered people, keeping his gentle smile on his face, studying them a little. "It is a true pleasure to meet all of you. Always good to meet new people. Since I was Embraced, I can't really say I had any 'friends'."

Looking at the Martha's map and listening to her words, he nods passively. After all, it is going to be an intersting night.

"Let this night begin."

Mar 2nd, 2015 10:58 AM

Fionn had a sympathetic look on his face when Spencer spoke about how fresh he was.
"Well Spencer I'm going to give you a small word of advice. I want you to pretend that when you're out in public like we are now, that a disapproving relative or a nosy neighbour is standing behind you. You don't want to say anything that might make them want to listen more closely into what you're saying then if it were just boring old small talk."

Fionn lowered his voice so it didn't carry in the air, he didn't want to embarrass the guy just look out for him.
His voice was patient, kindly but instructive, like an older relative giving some advice to a younger man who had come close to saying something that could get him into trouble if the family Elders were listening.

Fionn raise his voice back to normal speaking level.

"So you're new in town, and looking to make some friends. I'm fairly new to the city myself and I like making friends. I know what it's like to not know anyone in a strange place. I'm sure by the end of this little tour we're all going to know each other much better. Don't you Martha?"

Fionn tried to move the conversation around to safer topics to avoid embarrassing the new arrival.

**Cabochard** · Mar 2nd, 2015 11:12 AM

Rina nods along as Martha presents her plan. Basic sightseeing, it seems like, but that was fine. There were always interesting things to see, and the Unconquered Shadow might as well stick around, if only to...keep an eye on the morons. Her eyes turn on Spencer in an instant, glaring daggers. She drops her voice to a whispering hiss. "Watch your tongue, idiot, or you will not have it very much longer." What kind of an idiot starts dropping their words right next to a crowd of people? Was he asking for a Breach?

Her eyes turn to McAlister next. He'd said what he should have said, even if he'd failed to quite communicate the severity of it.
