 Walking after midnight (anyone's welcome)
|
   |
|
Jason was going for a walk. It had been a little while since his trip to the Ordo Dracul chapter house. He had some rather mixed feelings about that. He had learned some very valuable information about being a vampire and a dragon both, but he still knew very little of kindred society. Oh sure, he knew the rules, but not where to go or what to do. He needed to find a role for himself in this town, preferably in keeping with the skills he'd developed in life. He realized that this necessitated a meeting with the Hound, only partly because he was also the leader of Jason's clan.

My beasts starts to flare rapidly... again...
I growl to my self "Damnit! I let my guard down..."
The beast starts to swell as if it is feeling an intruder. Must fight must destroy... I keep my body still as I take deep breaths to rationalize my self that I need to keep my body under control or else I won't be recognized.
I have the power to control my self.
My mind starts to cool off as I then walk as I see two kindred.
I see one pull over and talk and so I figure I should walk over. I let my presence be known as I walk up with an animalistic but a non threatening one walk.

When he sees the figure in the car, he feels a scream running through him. He had seen this man before, but not up close, as the beast was informing him. He managed to fight it down as the man approached.
"Not a whole lot, you are the Hound correct? I don't think we'd been properly introduced. I was just thinking about how I needed to talk to you, as a matter of fact."
The anger starts welling up again as Jason watches the other figure approach. The beast clearly doesn't like this one. Jason feels as though he is a cage being flung back and forth be the creature trying to escape. Calm down! He tells himself, and after a moment of concentration, it works.

I put my hands up. Look... I am not here for any sort of violence. I just passed through. I am just going to pull my bussiness card. It really *I start to slowly grab the card* I let my jacket be open to let it be seen.
But yes as the card says "I am Charles Mandrake but I am clan Gangrel." And might I ask who you genntlemen are?
I hand the card out. "Charles Mandrake" Owner of the Monte Cristo Hotel.
1100 H street Sacramento Ca.
"Your Privacy IS our Policy...."
Yes I just got here and I am looking for an introduction.
I have been looking for other kindred and it has been two nights and well you are the second and third I have met. This place seems like a town with few kindred. I then caught my self and I rephrased after saying "No I didn't mean any disrespect." Its just that I thought the kindred here would be in greater amounts.
As an act of goodwill tell the manager of the hotel; his name is Jarvis "The Dusk is the morning of my day."
He will say "Only for the night shift"
Then Reply "Only while job hunting"
He will then get you a free room with no windows on the house.
But please be sure it is just between you and him I don't want kine taking advantage of my "good intentions"

*thinks: "If he really insists then I must comply for well my life is still unsecure. But at least I am slightly known for now I will comply*
With a stressed face I give a nod of agreement. "Pleasure to meet you both" I say in a high pitch but soft growl.
*Thinks: For a hound to pull us both off the street must be something serious.*
I figure this night is just about to go from strange to worse but it seems I should expect this from this city.
*I see the hounds stare as I see his icy cold eyes pierce into mine. I let my eyes drop and let emotion come through that of repression and loss. (personal belief/observation of course)
I really don't mind this over cautious behavior for well all vampires in a new city are generally treated with extreme caution.
I willingly enter the vehicle and strap the seat belt in...

"All right." Jason says as he makes his way to the car and gets in the back.
"There is one thing I'm wondering, though," He says to Charles, "If you've been here long enough to own a hotel, how is it that you've only met three kindred? Hell, there was a presentation ceremony full of people new to the city the other day, and there had to be at least a dozen kindred there."

I clear my throat to prevent a snarl...
"No offense taken Priscus. When one has been doing the Danse for a long time you come to realize that everything should be 90% business and 10% personal. If not the Danse is going to eat you alive. I have come to realize this."
And Jason... when you have millions of dollars to spend. Well some kindred aren't as priveledged as others. Don't get me wrong. But 100 years worth of interest when switching bank accounts works wonders. Maybe one day you too might have your own stock portfolio. I just try to show that we are deverse in our nobility as any of the other clans. And if that was the case with finding kindred I must have been searching in the wrong areas.
with a high pitched soft growl "Thank you Priscus for your welcome. Though I might add that if you gentlemen care to get ahold of me my cell number: 555 243 9982
Well we might as well go mingle."

"Not a bad place," Jason said, getting out of the car. "So, what's up?"

Right... Where am I from... I then get a very uneasy look on my face.
See extenuating circumstances. I am technically an independant but I came from an outside town for a while. I have written statements that can prove my whereabouts. If things do get messy. I served as a courier for the various factions of the city of Riverside.
I am not insulted by my history but not entirely proud. I have my old courier orders to confirm my side but alas they can not be confirmed for the prince of that city had perished.
About a month and a half ago, I heard rumors of a VII incursion into our city. So I volunteered to do every nomadic mission on sending missives and packages ANYWHERE so long as it kept me out of the city.
I had spent time in Riverside up to the 8th. I had to stay in Riverside for the last week to get my life insurance policy money and well I was also sent to jail. I spent one night in jail on the 5thnd of February... but my ghoul retainer was able to bail me out. I accrued my fortune by life insurance polcies since the rumors turn out to be true. I collected on 37 different policies. But for me to collect I had to be THERE in PERSON from the 6th to the 8th. It took me time to get here on the 10th. If you need to verify this I can show you paperwork or even call the life insurance company and represenatives can corroborate my story. By the gods I am probably in some computer system there. I can also confirm bank accounts being opened and closed and statements showing when I had to be IN person to set those policy's.
I said Earlier nearly everything is bussiness. And so by checking when accounts had been opened and closed and by checking when I applied for the life insurance policies you can see that I am from Riverside. I can even show papers to show of previous residence if you still doubt me after it all. I am very meticulous kindred.
But by default I am an independant. I made a power play based off a rumor I figure I could have used the money to get out of there. But if I was wrong I'd still be hunting and having a haven in the ground. No big deal really. I am currently looking for a covenant but I doubt any covenant would have me...
(though if a covenant knew he had complete control over a 15 story hotel that easily could be retrofitted into a covenant HQ...)
(My character realizes this is no joke and thus tries to be as detailed and articulate as possible due to the fact that this is a hound... Thus he is trying to show irrefutable evidence that he was NOT here.)

"That sounds fine. If nothing else, a free hotel room has got to be better than that rathole apartment that I managed to get." Jason thought that Charles was rather odd, he still hadn't gotten over the fact that he was over a hundred years old and apparently hadn't met a vampire other than his sire until today. Despite that, Jason was glad for his presence, as the Hound seemed like the sort whose undivided attention was not desirable.
"Anyway, where I came from is a rather odd story. I was a Marine until we ran over a mine and it jacked up my leg. Then I got a job working as a bodyguard, my last job was escorting some diplomat in the Ivory Coast. Apparently my sire tracked me there, that was where she killed me. She taught me the basics of being a vampire, disciplines, kindred society, and a brief overview of the covenants before making me choose one. I picked Ordo Dracul because it seemed the most interesting, and after meeting them I'm rather glad I did. She sent me here after that, claiming that there was no better place to learn about the Order, and that's my story. I don't even know her name, it never occurred to me to ask."

"Just a few. First of all, do you know of anyone who could use some soldierly type skills? Second, how does one make money without going out during the day? Also, do you know where I can get some weapons?"

I let out a sigh... as I let my hand fly non-chaulantly.
"Really my dear Jason there is so much more for you than you being a mere grunt for mortals. Being a grunt for your kindred superior that on the other hand has a more noble purpose. And by the way... you had best NOT get caught with ANY illegal merchandise in my hotel. Privacy IS our Policy but watching over anything illegal is not... I didn't live this long to allow random kine to waltz into our bussiness."
"Now notice I said you'd best not get caught... Really what we do as the superior shouldn't matter unless your bussiness runs counter to my bussiness."

Emotion (Annoyed) I thought the first tradition applies in all cities the right of domain. I just ask him not to do anything illegal or if he does DON'T get caught since he was invited as a guest.
With a somber look. Very Well Priscus I will obey. If that is what it takes to be acknowledged. Now Jason you are still welcome at my hotel if you so wish it.

"Thank you sir, that would be most appreciated."
Turning to Charles, he added, "I'll think about it."
As soon as he is finished speaking, a confused look crosses Jason's face, "Wait a minute, I think I heard wrong. Did you say a plant killed seven kindred?"
