Vampires and Parks

[Alessandra]

There was a soft chuckle at Vivian’s comment about pump action. Turned out having Vivian around proved for some entertaining and interesting conversation.

When the talk turns to her Cousin, she nods her head in agreement. “She is very charming and quite intelligent. We’ve spent some evenings talking and she has some great ideas and seems very well suited for her promotion.” She spoke honestly.

And there it was again, her Beast stirring in fear of yet another stronger predator near them.

Despite the fear, she puts a friendly smile on as the other Kindred got closer.

“I wouldn’t say avoided as much as put aside for the time being.” Replied the Savage.

[Josephine Sterling]

"Pressing?" the Lady echoed, smile growing wider to reveal her teeth. "Oh, there was certainly some amount of pressure involved. The exact amount of pressure I couldn't say, as I doubt we require our full bite force to properly consume our food, but that's irrelevant, I suppose. In fact, it is exactly that sort of pondering that proves that I have been far too cooped up these last few nights, so I appreciate the summons, Vivian.

"Likewise, it is wonderful to see you Konrad. And to have the chance to meet your friend, here," she continued, turning to the tattooed demon before her. "And yes, as you might have gathered by now, Josephine is my preferred mode of address. It is a pleasure to meet you."

[Konrad Roth]

Konrad waves a hand dismissively. "Ah, no no, not like that anyways. I don't think my tastes could compare to hers," he says to Vivian regarding Katya. "But good on anyone who wants to try."

To Josephine he says, "Oh? You haven't met?" Konrad glances between his Whip and the Priestess. "Well this is Alessandra, a cousin of mine. She's been helping me to keep our Family in line. But so far it's been smooth sailing. How's your Family been holding up, Josephine?"

The question carries with it a curious tone. Gerald and Hildegarde's disappearances have been noted in the Gangrel's eye. That left the count of Lords to be precariously low. He understands what that can be like having been the sole Savage in the city for a brief time.

[Alessandra]

The thing that would make this conversation more entertaining? If Vivian could get Konrad to squirm, even just a little.

“Oh, simply family ideas we tossed around. She has a way of building on an idea and improving upon it. But of course there were some other things discussed.” And she left it at that.

She wasn’t sure what to make of Josephine just yet, this being the first time she had met the Kindred.
When Konrad introduced her, she smiled to the Ventrue,

“Then Josephine it is,” replies the Italian, “As Konrad said, I’m Alessandra, but Ale works just fine. And si, a pleasure to meet you as well.”

[Cayce]

"It's very simple, Vivian. Simply call and leave a message inquiring about their most expensive car. I'm sure they'll be willing to arrange a sundown appointment if you make it sound convincing," the Lady suggested with a shrug.

"Merely one strategy, I suppose. What would you do, Ale? Or yourself, Konrad? Something deliciously deplorable, I'm sure."

[Konrad Roth]

"Wouldn't you like to know," teases the Savage at Vivian's request as he remains playfully enigmatic. Still, he pauses to give the question some thought.

The query about car dealerships brings Konrad back to the conversation. "Hmm? Oh, no doubt, Josephine. Might have to schedule a confession for my misdeeds," he remarks jokingly. "But yeah, I've had to arrange a late night purchase with private dealers before. What sort of car are you looking for, Vivian?"

He had purchased his van in much the same way, though lacking the valid paperwork at the time required he use his shady contacts.

[Alessandra]

Smirking, “Oh, it will be.”


At the shift to cars, “When I got my jeep, I just called various dealers until I found one open late. If that hadn’t worked, I might have tried to call in some favors.” Shrug, nothing special there. “But something tells me Vivian can make anything sound convincing if she so desired.”
