(1410) Scylla and Vivian

**Edwin Bridges** · Oct 16th, 2014 03:03 PM

The Clan that will make you beg.

The thought strayed up from Axel, causing Edwin's smile to blossom into a bright grin, his lip ring wobbling slightly. There was a twinkle in his hazel eyes.

"Clan Ventrue." And there it was. The pride in his husky voice; the leaders of the night. Forever more.

Edwin's eyes gazed around the Court and he began, answering both Scylla's and Vivian's questions as one. "Ok. Well, that rather bewitching little thing is Harpy Star," he said, pausing to admire her...heels. They certainly looked awesome tonight. "Obviously, His Majesty is in attendance, and looking a cool as ever."

The Lord of the Crone was about to continue when Chris headed over and Edwin couldn't help but offer his Hierophant a fist-bump. Seeing he was with Cordoba and Konrad, Edwin offered both handshakes. "Gents, a pleasure. Please join us. These lovely ladies are Miss Vivian York and Miss Scylla. I was doing my best as guide of the city," he chuckled warmly.

After his first encounter with Edwin at Regent Redfill's estate, he noticed a distinct difference in the Beast. He originally thought him to be his equal. Now, Bridges was prey. Vivian and Scylla, too, were seen as prey. The urge to placate his thirst for blood teased his Humanity. This was Elysium, no harm would come them by his hands.

Extending his hand, Juan shook Edwin's hand with a well-practiced firm businesslike grip. "Mister Bridges," a warm and friendly greeting, "so good to see you again. " The Toreador's head faced Vivian, "I have no doubt Mister Bridges gave you both an exquisite review of the Domain. It is a pleasure to meet you Miss York," offering a hand to her first then to the Nosferatu. "And Miss Scylla, also a pleasure." Should the two Kindred accept Juan's greeting, his handshake is more relaxed and gentle.

"I am Juan Cordoba of the Invictus. I answer to Mister Garretta de Cordoda, or simply Mister Cordoba." He smiled widely to the group, "It is so good to see new faces."

**Konrad Roth** · Oct 17th, 2014 02:30 PM

The Beasts these delicate Kindred ladies exude are weak, prey to be devoured, all the more apparent when up close. Edwin's is familiar, having met the man at Reverence some short time ago. A handshake with the challenger seems tolerable, pleasant even, as far as pleasantries go. Konrad grasps the man's hand in a friendly manner.

"Edwin, good to see you," he says with an understanding nod before leaning in a bit closer for a whisper. "I see the ladies have got your spirits up." All in all, the man seems in better spirits than when Konrad first met him. Hopefully the rest of the evening would stay the course.

Turning to the ladies, Konrad nods to both Vivian and Scylla. "Evening. Konrad Roth. Arrived a couple months back. Nice ta meet ya." He smirks as warmly as he can, eyes narrow and observant. This is Juan's show though, so Konrad's content to stay beside Edwin for the moment and allow those with more silvery tongues to speak.

“I see.” Scyllla replied as the Ventrue spoke the name of his Clan. Two simple words but they said so much about the man.

Then as the Ventrue and Daeva both explained who is who the Nosferatu could only let out an occasional “Ah” or “Mhm” and keep nodding. So many people, so many titles. Oh what games they must have had to play to get them.

The males that approached sent shivers down the Haunt’s spine. Two obvious predators. All dangerous and here to show that they were top dogs. “Hello gentlemen.” She answered and after a short pause of inner debate returned one of their handshakes. Better not to fail like this a second time in one night. To the other two she simply nodded. “A pleasure to meet you all.” The Nosferatu decided to stop talking and not interrupt anything that Vivian might say. The men were obviously here to see her so better let the Daeva work her magic.

What in the world… I beckon one and several follow. I should be careful with that in the future. Vivian hardly thought this small crowd of men was necessary, but maybe they all wanted to assist the new Haunt. And who was the Daeva kidding, of course she was enjoying it.

Vivian’s hand touched the top of Chris’ forearm a moment. “No matter at all, of course.” Smiling genuinely to the Mekhet. He’d been the biggest help to her thus far, and she wasn’t about to give away the secrets of a Shadow.

“Good evening, gentlemen.” Extending a gloved hand to Juan, the Blood nearly forced herself up against the wall, but she persevered with a dazzling grin. “Good to meet you Mister Cordoba, what a lovely accent dahling.” Well, she’d remember one or the other, so why not the name he preferred.

Smirking as she clearly heard that Edwin had been in poor spirits before tonight *mental note*, the Succubus was fairly proud of herself for lifting whatever weighed his shoulders for a spell. Turning to the next new Beast who was a little harder to approach by that of her blood, nevertheless she protruded her hand to the man since she was making round. “Pleasure to meet you Konrad Roth.”

The Daeva’s hand extended to Edwin a moment. “We’d asked Mr. Bridges over to assist us, as I’m fairly new and Scylla just arrived this evening.” Turning to smile at the Haunt with a ‘they seem harmless’ glance. “So we are just getting newly acquainted with the Domain all around.” Clasping her hands gently in front of her.

Vivian felt a little, swarmed, by all the men with stronger Beasts than her own. That would need to be remedied soon.

Edwin stood his ground as his own Beast screamed in protest, and his face said it all when Konrad whispered to him. The smile faded slightly as his expression changed.

Dude, wtf?

Still, nothing to be done now. Hopefully, no one heard it. He was honest with his own weaknesses, he did not need others to become aware of them.

The smile returned, naturally. For now, Edwin remained quiet, adjusting his beanie slightly. He was getting a bit warm with all these dead bodies around him.

**Chris Wooding** · Oct 19th, 2014 10:01 AM

A fist bump? Chris has seen it happen, he knows what to do. So, there he goes, completing Edwin's brofist. It feels sort of ridiculous here in Court, but he greatly enjoys it. Especially since it shows Konrad that the right people can be informal with the Hierophant.

Although it seems like Konrad has no social awareness whatsoever. A dangerous weakness.

'What a nice idea, I trust Edwin is great guide? At least, he beat us to it.' Chris smiles to his acolyte friend, and then to the others.

'Otherwise I can always help out. And...' he looks around, still no Seneschal?! He turns to Scylla, 'So you haven't met Seneschal Martha Villiers yet, or have you?'

Blake approaches the group, as he gets within ear shot, he greets the group as a whole as politely as he can. "Hello. Do any of you mind if I join your conversation?" Can't hurt to be polite.

"I'm Blake Flint of Clan Gangrel." He supplies as his introduction.

Oct 20th, 2014 10:08 AM

The Daeva noticed the Haunt's choice of wording. Feigning interest when three male Kindred "introduced" themselves. Granted it was Vivian's appearance that caught his attention. It would be rude to shove the Nosferatu out like that. "My thanks, Miss York. The refined eloquence of the English is always a pleasant sound."

Once more the predator begged to lay claim to the Gangrel's blood. The ever-present smile had been glued in place, "Welcome Mister Flint. So good to see you once more."

"So, how is everyone?" He asked in general. "I already know how Heirophant Wooding and Mister Roth are," gesturing to both respectively. "Might anyone have anything exciting to share?"

**Konrad Roth** · Oct 20th, 2014 10:47 AM

"Pleasure's all mine," responds Konrad to Vivian through the gnashing of his Beast's figurative teeth.

The noise of Beasts intensifies as yet another Kindred approaches. Konrad remembers this one, another weak whelp that infuriates the Savage. If his memory serves him correctly, the man had been speaking with Edwin at the last Court. Now there was a name to put to the face, and he just so happened to be a cousin.

"Konrad, also Clan Gangrel," he says to Blake.

Konrad had been hoping to chat more with Edwin, but the Lord seems to have clammed up after Konrad greets him. It is presumptuous to try acting friendly around predators that were little more than strangers and Konrad is slowly reminded of that fact. Since Konrad had only tagged along, he allows the rest to take charge in the conversation while Konrad crams his hands in his pockets on the peripheries.
