A diablerist. An immediate Bloodhunt.
Baldwin wasn't carrying weapons.
That was fine.
Every Kindred had fangs.

Rina turned on hearing the Prince's call for a Bloodhunt, her conversation with the Dragon cast aside for this new development. She immediately mentally worked to locate the man in question and double-check that she was combat-ready. She mentally cursed the fact that the Elysium called for the removal of her weapons, but at least she'd had the presence of mind to wear clothes that wouldn't flap around too much.
The Asp's Beast rose, happy to finally get to engage in slaughter, and the woman leashed it again, refusing to give in to its snarls. Especially not here. As with any good Bloodhunt, it was a show. And Rina had to play her part.

Thomas had started towards the bathroom to change from his costume, hadn't made it before the Prince's announcement. Diablerie . . . The hackles of his inner Beast rise with those four syllables, the one word that put hell in the heart of a man so hard after heaven. He'd had plenty of reason to be pissed about that evening, and now he has an outlet for his anger: about Dog's rudeness, the ensuant laughter, Josephine's scheming ambition, the Prince and Harpy's displeasure . . . and his own brilliant capacity for fitting his foot right into his damned mouth.
What is the worst of evils? He isn't sure. Civil war? Cannibalism? Treason? Heresy? Thomas is sure, however, that diablerie constitutes them all. The Kindred of Sacramento were his new flock, his new family. A diablerist among them is a a wolf among . . . well, wolves, actually.
Thomas throws down his mask--no need to change out from it anymore. The Beast is off the chain. The hunt is called. And, by God, Thomas will bloody the floor with Gunnar's face--hell's fire and heaven's wrath. A-fucking-men.

Gunnar stared, stunned.
Then the laughter came as if he had been released from some binding. Roughly he cast Dirge aside.
"Come then!"
He was King of the Grove.
Initiative 15 for the Daeva
Juan's attention immediately broke off from Thaddeus to glare at Gunnar. I knew he was bad blood. The Prince's declaration only proved it.
The Toreador was no warrior. Regardless he would join in the Hunt as per the Oath he had sworn in Acknowledgement.

Jennifer was many things - a brawler was not first and foremost. The Nosferatu would move to stand between the subject of the Blood Hunt and his Grace; choosing to scout for an opening to attack. No need to fight fairly, hm? The Knights did not need her gumming up the attack formation.
As her clan sister cries out, the Beast hisses her teeth, her ruined voice snarls.Jennifer will move closer to the attack, skirting the outskirts for a chance for an opportunistic strike.

As Max watches the screens, he sees another approaching out of the corner of his eye. He Beast gave a half-hearted growl of annoyance as the unknown Kindred drew near; but that was all. He waits for the woman to approach, to give her the opportunity to open the conversation; but instead she simply... stops. Her arm moves, but that's all; the rest of her standing as still as a statue.
It's all a bit unnerving, really...
After a few moments, Max leans over and breaks the silence; whispering so that only the woman next to him can hear. "You know, it's a real shame you didn't dress up for tonight's event. You could have worn a toga; you would have made a perfect caryatid..."
He was about to introduce himself when he caught sight of the Prince moving away from the group of Kindred that surrounded him. That Asa would take leave of his company and not the other way around made it pretty obvious something was about to happen. Turning away from Hildegarde; Max gave his full attention to the Duke as he began to speak.
Of course, a call of the Blood Hunt was the last thing he'd expected...
Gunnar Haroldson, who the hell is that?
Alright, another Blood Hunt! Looks like we're going back to the sewers!
I'd better let Samantha know to pick me up a new phone...
Hey, the Iphone 6 should be out soon. Upgrade time!

Allison would have loved to continue the charade all night, but some things couldn't be helped. She wasn't a fan of violence, but again, some things couldn't be helped. Although Gunnar was family, there wasn't much Allison wouldn't do for Asa. Allison couldn't help that Asa was her Achilles. Maybe it was a quirk of the curse in her blood, maybe she liked bad boys...maybe both; but Allison couldn't help what she was about to do, and deep down her beast was loving every moment.

The Lord turned, surprised, when Asa spoke. Indeed, she was still holding her contemplative pose. Only the doll-mask was off now, her face registering stunned shock more than anything else.
Around her, Court erupted. A second time in one year. Her Beast shivered. Her heart... beat... with excitement.
This was becoming terribly common.
