(1101) Eternal Court X

"I have no questions for the moment, but I will be sure to ask if they come to mind. Oh, and I actually met... Priscus Malloy and Mister Ajax when I first entered the city, they were the first... Kindred I met." It's clear to Chrisie that Jacob isn't used to more formalised language, but is nonetheless putting in the effort. Then he realised he did have a question.

"Would you care to point out who the leader - I mean, Prince, of the city is, so I may introduce myself to him or her? It is only... polite to do so."

Struggling to keep his beast from fleeing, he edges to the far side of the Priscus, keeping her between the big one and himself. Bowing quickly, he speaks softly, so as not to be overheard by the object of the bet.

"I apologize most humbly, but I was informed of a wager by the Keeper there and I thought I might insinuate my guess along with my money."
He knew she was a Priscus, and that the title alone deserved respect, but the proper phrasing eluded him so he ignored it, hoping fervently that she decided to ignore the blunder in favor of his money. And that the big guy would ignore him completely.

Jillian looks to the approaching Nos, "No Reason to apologize man. Name's Jillian Malloy, Gangrel Priscus. That's Ajax, Gangrel Whip. No wagers right now, We were betting the other day which clan that lovely piece there *gesturing to Kat* is from. You wanna take a guess?" Jillian says with a smile to the Nos. Jillian wasn't put back too much by the Haunts Curse. All Kindred have curse's Some were just more obvious.

Jillian saw Kat dash over to Jacob as he arrived and smiles at there reunion.

**Martha Villiers** · Dec 30th, 2010 04:48 PM

The question causes Martha to pause for a moment, she silently stares for a short while at Katrina's shoes...then blinks as she clutches at her cane, fiddles with the hem of her blazer and rubs her cane to her lame leg...swiftly tries a meek smile, as if suddenly aware of something: "Ah! The Prince, sir? Well...goodness, sir, I am certain he is around. Only...his duties are manifold, so he attends court as he sees fit. Naturally, a man of his august position has Officers of Court, such as myself, to attend to daily routine. However, sir...as soon as he arrives...I shall make you aware!" another smile now, less stressed, more natural. "I do hope you enjoy your stay in the city, sir! The lovely Seneschal has all the details of territorial claims and domains held...I'd urge you to become familiar with that...and the rules of the Domain too...again, the Seneschal will be able to bring those to your attention!" Martha offers another smile...watching Amos, Katrina and Jacob with respect and care, leaning now on her cane...she seems to have warmed to Jacob very quickly, again she smiles.

Jacob gets the distinct impression that he made Martha uncomfortable somehow, but his concern is alleviated when she seems to liven up. "Ah, um... thank you for the details... I suppose that I shall speak to the Senechal about territories and laws; after all, I would not want to... displease the Court with any wrongdoings."

**Martha Villiers** · Dec 30th, 2010 05:01 PM

Martha nods, clearly firmly in agreement with Jacob. "Indeed, sir! Indeed! Displeasure of the Court would be...well...the penalties can be quite properly harsh! However, if I may be allowed to make a personal observation, sir: I can see you are a gentleman of impressive strength...and, my first impressions are that you have honour and integrity in abundance too! I should be surprised if you intentionally sought to disrupt the harmony of the Court; or would seek to provoke the wrath of its Officers and other subjects! Though, if you did: I daresay it would be quite the thing of future legend!" Tiny Martha rubs hard at her lame hip now as she watches Jacob with respectful care, tries another smile...she's clearly sincere...and falls quiet to allow others to join in.

Jacob smiles, feeling complimented and intrigued at the same time. "Why, thank you. I have never had such... observations... made of me before, whether in life or undeath. Not even amongst the vam... I mean, the Damned, of Los Angeles. So, what are... current nights like in this city? Anything particularly... eventful?"

As Jacob works his way around his difficulty with formal language, he thinks to himself: damn, I need to get me some lessons in etiquette and all that fancy shit!

Dec 30th, 2010 05:17 PM

The informal tone seems to surprise him and he bowed nervously.

"Well, to be honest, I'd think she's of your clan. I heard a bit of eastern Europe in her voice and that region has a strong Gangrel presence. Since there isn't anything to be lost or gained, I'd like to venture a secondary guess. Daeva. For obvious reasons..."

His smile shows a set of teeth too thin for the jaw, which was in itself too thing for the mouth that holds it. In all more disturbing than comforting, but he grins anyway and prepares to be dismissed by his betters.

Dec 30th, 2010 05:34 PM

"You were right the first time, she's Gangrel. What's your name brother? And you part of a Covenant? If you don't mind me asking of course?" Jillian asked trying to get to know the Nos, And by get to know I mean gauge usefulness.

**Ajax** · Dec 30th, 2010 05:34 PM

Ajax listened to Jillian and the new guy, a Nos if he'd ever seen or smelt one, talk. He watched the room, saw the group form around the Keeper. Most of the urge he had to be social had pretty much vanished when the beautiful Kat had run to Jacob and hugged, or embraced, him like a long lost lover. In truth he wasn't really looking at much of anything. That voice in the back of his head was laughing at him now, lugs like him didn't get girls like that and he shouldn't even bothered thinking the thought in the first place. All Big Evil really wanted to do right now was find someone really, really drunk, grab a bite and then listen to the Cure. Robert Smith always understood him.

He silently congratulates himself and decides to engage the Priscus in conversation. Perhaps she could be a strong ally in his corner. Nothing comes without a price however...

"With respect to the proceedings of the Court would it be appropriate to give my name before being Recognized by the Prince or an Officer with the delegated responsibility? I don't mean to be obtuse, but I come very recently from a very strict, if draconian Domain."
