OOC::: Note that this RP is invite only, you can most likely pick up a invitation in the following thread:

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84067&start=100

IC::: A meeting between the Vampire nations has been arranged. The Free Land of Lunoris is hosting the meeting. They are asking all Vampire nations to attend. Of course all other interested also can show up. If so allowed by The Free Land of Lunoris. This has been done for the safety of the Vampires. We know that some nations despise us, and we do not wish to be harmed.

The spokesmen of Lunoris is awaiting his guests in the ball room of the Palace. The ball room has been decorated in black and red. And in the corner a band softly plays some numbers. On the opposite side of the entrance the wall is lined with tables. Upon those tables are beverages. Some of them have a red substance in them. On every table is a little card. Next to the tables with drinks, some with food can be seen. On the other side of the beverages table a card can be seen. Quite some lines seem to have been noted down on this.

The whole room is decorated with wall paintings. They resemble pieces out of Cainite history. One of the paintings clearly shows the beautiful city of Carthage. The painting next to it shows a city totally in ruins. If one was to look closely there are a great number of similarities between the two paintings.

Kain was one of the few to first arrive. kain despised parties and the like, but Kain's feeling towards this was different. It was different. Kain decided to wear some decent clothes, compared to his battle worn armour.

Kain walked to the meeting, he wore a dark blue Suit, which reflected the light. It was unique in design and style, Kain complimented the Cloak for it's inginuty. The dark blue Suit had a tarnished white emblem on his back. To those who knew him, it was his own personal symbol. Once brillaint white, it was now brown in places after his exilation from one of the most powerful and elite clans. The Shentavos. The shame and curses for his crimes where immense.

Feeling rather pleased, he stode into the place, smiling to many of the people there. To those who looked closly, there was a sword strapped on his back, which eminated an evil intent. The Suit radiated a lesser magic, but bore no evil or good intentions.

To those who saw him, saw a controled and sophisiticated being, a aura of not nessiceryly power, but calmness and as though nothing suprised him. This could be counted as power, but Kain was not arrogant. Many said him to be wise, he never proclaimed he was. Still a fledgling, Kain was remarkably powerful for his age only 30, he had experianced much, and endured terrible pain. Such events granted him wisdom that many of his elder peers could not have achieved.

He strode in, his white hair streaming back constrasting to the deep night blue Suit, his own dark green flesh constrasting with his segmented sparkling eyes. Few knew of what he saw when he looked at the living...those eyes if stared deep enough revealed only glimmers of the pain and strive within this man. But few saw this side of Kain. He was too hardened by life's bitter trials. But some of those pains washed away today.

He was relaitvely happy as he walked in, his cloven feet tapping against the floor, and his colven three taloned hand kept at his side.

Narack steps forward. Behind him servants can be seen who start to take there places along the ball room. They are dressed in a dark purple uniform.

Narack is dressed in a black suit. The only thing odd about this is that he also wears a cloak. The cloak seems of a dark green color but sometimes almost appears black. He is about 1,90 and has a slender build. What is really noticeable is that is face is mask of blank perfection. Everything is in perfect order with each other, and is symmetrical in every way. His eyes are of a dark gray color. His hair is bounded into a tail which hangs just above his shoulders. His hands are also perfect, the fingers seem to have precisely the right length and thickness that suits Narack. His fingernails are nicely cut. His whole appearance is of haunting beauty.
His moves are with a lot of grace.

He approaches Kain.

"So, we meet again. I hope your journey here was pleasant?"

His voice is soft and nice, but power can be heard in it.

"Indeed. The night wind is cool and refreshing, I prefer to walk. I trust you are well?" Kain asks warmly, a small crisp breeze on the air.

“I am, thank you for inquiring. So, could you tell me with what expectations you came to this meeting?”

He guides Kain to one of the tables.

“Care for a drink?”

kain reached out to the liquid with trepidation. He was unused to tasting the substance. He swiftly downed the entire thing in one. He tasted the sweet nectar of life flow down his throat. The Brightblade for a few seconds did not have to sustain him.

"My apologies...I have not fed for some time..." Kain said, but commented nothing on the entire truth of matters.

"I came here to share my own experiances and learn from others. It is not often that I get the chance to speak to my own kind, and many including yourself are brillaint minds, with many experiances to share." Kain commented, as he looked at the last drips of the blood within the glass. He stared at it a few seconds longer before setting the glass back down on the table and felt the thirst but not the side effects of it, due to the Brightblade.

Bartholomew strode into the room, ageless eyes taking it in with a regal sweep. He was a tall man, dressed in an elegant coat of darkest black, with vest and trousers to match. His elegant, noble features broke into a gentle smile as he headed towards his host, his pale skin glimmering faintly in the dim light.

OOC::: I'm actually quite curious what he posted... :$

IC::: "What is this about not feeding? If you need to feed, tell me, I will make arangements. And ofcourse you can have more of the drinks that are on the table. I must warn you though... Some have been... Mixed."

He turn toward the new geust and greets him.

"Welcome upon the fair soil of Lunoris. I am Narack, the Spokesmen of Lunoris. The host will arive a bit later I am afraid. He is... busy. Now, may I introduce you to Kain."

ariving fashionably late, in walks Radu Vykos, Tzimisce leader of syncomp15. standing at six-five tall, and wearing a blood red suit, he walks to his table. (ooc: this guy has an appearence of like six, via fleshcraft!!). he is flanked by two other noteabley dressed individuals. the first is an obviouse nosferatu, nuff said... the other is well dressed. he is wearing a black suit, and looks kinda normal, except for the animal featurs, (a gangrel who failed many frenzies) they sit at the table and wait.
Vykos reaches into his pocket and plays with a rat, (ooc: heheheh, fleshcraft)

ooc: for those who do not know what fleshcraft is, i will give a brief description... "fleshcraft s a vampire knowladge that allows a vampire to mold and sculpt flesh as if it were clay. the higher powers of this knowladge can include altering one's own looks so they look like some one else, all the way up to transforming to a seven foot tall monster with wings, and stuff. heheheh, they can even turn into bloodform, a liquid that looks like... well.. blood. quite usefull in times when the only escape is through a floor...

"Of course." He smiles. "I am Bartholomew, from the Kingdom now ruled by the Vampiric Princes."

OOC::: Eh, mate.. not everyone here knows WOD things.. So you might want to describe it. Narack also improved himself using fleshcraft. But still. Ow and please use capitals. So could ya kinda do that post over? Plz? *puppy eyes* And I forgot to give the ballroom tables!!!!

IC::: Along the left side of the ball room tables can be spotted. They have benches surrounding them(like the McDonald stuff, only, these have class).

"I am afraid my thirst is more than what normal vampires...it...it is far more in fact. You may know of who I was part of...the Shentavos...sired by Ravelyn Shentavo. Well, for reasons I shall not go into yet, I was exiled. With it, brought many...punishments for which I deserve. My appearance is not one of them...but my thirst is far more than what it once was, it is endless, within moments of drinking the thirst returns. Only the most potent of bloods sustain me fully.....I am sure you know of what kind I have drunk, mortal blood is a shade in comparison to the immortal.... Kain said telepathicly, not wanting the new stranger to know about this. He prefered to keep some his personal life from people he did not know fully.

The sword I wear sustains me...but I still feel the hunger. You can appreciate what I feel even now freind....

Kain listened to the conversation between the two and joined in.

(Post that info to me too please!)

OOC::: What info?

Anywho, I'm going to bed soon. Taking a shower, will reply for the last time and go to bed.

Everyone, please RP your arrival, and don't go into to big a issues without me(I want to be really active in this RPG). My nations ruler will arrive later upon the evening. He will do some announcements and some other stuff.

IC::: "If you want to excuse me" Narack said to Bartholomew. "I'll be right with you, I have to discuss something urgent."

Narack gestures at Kain as in asking him to follow him. They move to a little private place.

"I am sorry my friend, I am not yet capable of Telepathy. Now, we have a great storage of blood available. I am quite sure we can get you any vitea(blood) you want. Unless... of course you want that of Vampires closer to Caine then me. I will even allow you some of my blood, if you are not afraid to be bound to me. I will also drink some of yours if that makes you feel safe. That means I will also be bound to you."

A sudden smile appears upon Naracks perfect face creating wrinkles in it.

"I have to say I like you. I am willing to guide you if you accept that."

The smile stays upon Naracks face.

rather set aback by this. He would have loved the sensation of that blood for those seconds...it would not sustain him for more than an hour at best. The blood would be wasted.

"I thank you for the offer....but I am fine as I am. You would waste valuble blood friend. As to your offer of guidance...I woould gladly accept this....although before you would, you must know of what I have done in the past....What...what crime I commited against the Shentavo order and thier ways..." Kain said slowly looking him in the eye. It was obvious Kain was still a fledgling...Kain was only 30! A new born in vampire comparisons!

But even as a mortal, Kain had to grow up quickly and deal with the harsh realities of life.

"I do not mind. But understand. That my blood is rich. It might feed you longer then you could think. And you can tell me about your... so called crime."

The smile slowly disapeared.

"Now about that curse.. I might be albe to find something about it. I will ask some of my collegeaus about it. I'm sure it can be lifted. I mean, the assamite blood curse was also lifted, why not this one. It sound like a fragile one to be honest.. all they did was make your blood thin, so that it would not sustain you. But, shall we go back to the rest of the geusts? I do not want to raise the impression that i'm ungratefull about them being here."

He starts to head back to the other geusts.

OOC:: What info were you talking bout kain? And, i'm retiring now. G'night people!

ooc: I fixed it up a bit, but could go back through to fix caps issues. Sorry about that, i'm used to it happening automaticly.

OOC::: Will reply tommorow, ow. And Syncom and Kain have to ability to give out invatation in the other thread. Just thought you would like to know, and please check it regulary.

[nation of padmasa] [5:37 PM]: So many fuckin' vamp nations. I really need to erect a silver cross so big it blocks out the moon. That will teach the bastards...

Seth arrived late for the invitation. His black trench coat was pulled around him slightly, and followed him with all of his movement. His pale white skin absorbed the light that hit it. His soft black eyes were piercing as he met those of the others guests. His dark brown hair was tossled slighlty, and a smirk graced his face.
"Sorry I'm late," he said with a smile. "I was trying to catch my dinner." apparently, he inherited some of Qui's humor...it was really needed to separate those two.

[nation of padmasa] [5:37 PM]: So many f---' vamp nations. I really need to erect a silver cross so big it blocks out the moon. That will teach the bastards...

heheheh, invite only, or didn't you read the first post? besides most vamps aren't affected by such folklore. thank you, and please shut the door behind you, thanks...

OOC::: Just 1 post before I head off to school.
IC::

Narack aproaches Bartholomew.
"I'm sorry I had to leave. But, the matter is dealt with. For now. So, how do you like stay here this far. We have gone trough alot of work to liven up this old place." He adds with a smirk. "And trust me, it needed a touching up."

Narack noticed Seth entering. He looked as he approached.
"Sorry I'm late," Seth said with a smile. "I was trying to catch my dinner."

Quite suprisesd by this Narack looks at Seth.

"You were having trouble feeding? In Lunoris. Usually vampires don't have alot of problems finding someone who's willing to give them some blood inside the borders of Lunoris. Unless, ofcourse, you are a member of the Giovanni clan."

Bartholomew smiles slightly. "It is certainly...interesting."

" Well i like what you have done with the place, although it lacks a Tzimisce touch." (smirks in that 'crawls beneath your skin' way)"But it is.. nice, Narack."

OOC: Taking you up on the invite. He is unarmed, but not unprepared. I think I remeber some things from Mage.

Roberts steped out of his limo and walked towards the meeting place. This was not an assignment he would have asked for, being more or less trapped with the undead. After training as a battlemage and then as a diplomat, he thought he would be sent to set up an embassy in a magic using nation, not attending a conferance of the undead. Oh well, fate chooses, not us.

He opened the door and had a quick look around, a quick spell allowed him to see who was dead, damn there are a lot of them here. He began memorizing faces.

ooc: ahhh mages!!! they alwasy like turn on the sun at the most incoveniant time, like say your defending a tremer chantry hous, in comes a fleet of mages... gunfire... magic noises... more gun fire.... chanting... chanting... BOOM there's the sun!! well i will rp with out any bias, welcom to the summit.

ic: vykos looks at the new commer.... grins..... walks back to his table. and watches the new commer.

Roberts approaches the drinks table and picks up a glass, not sure if it is a fluid to his liking he quickly changes it into a glass of red wine.....

He then begins to look around the room, waiting for the meeting to begin.

"I do not mind. But understand. That my blood is rich. It might feed you longer then you could think. And you can tell me about your... so called crime."

The smile slowly disapeared.

"Now about that curse.. I might be albe to find something about it. I will ask some of my collegeaus about it. I'm sure it can be lifted. I mean, the assamite blood curse was also lifted, why not this one. It sound like a fragile one to be honest.. all they did was make your blood thin, so that it would not sustain you. But, shall we go back to the rest of the geusts? I do not want to raise the impression that i'm ungratefull about them being here."

He starts to head back to the other geusts.

OOC:: What info were you talking bout kain? And, i'm retiring now. G'night people!

Kain looked at the ground and gathered his story up.

"Well...the crime against my clan was that I sired someone when I am only a fledgling. Daniella was her name....she would have died a horrible death you understand if I had not turned her, the demons attacked her vicously. The reason is I am sure you can understand....I could not have let my childer feed off me...we could not survive. And I had not learned and still have not learned what I should. The Shentavos cursed me....but oddly, they did not kill Daniella....The meaning behind this I do not know...." Kain said in a low tone to him, wanting no other person to hear. (Seth had not entered yet)

"As a result the curses of the vampire where inflicted thrice more onto me. I must say, Qui was rather....efficant. I can no longer kill mortals, if I cut one I feel great pain, let alone a mortal wound. If those bastard inquisitors (Roania's) ever found out....Qui also made me thirst far more...thrice more than normal, and as I am still a fledgling my need is still great. But the greatest curse I am sure you can tell.....the shame of leaving my clan to which had given me so much.... Anyway....I thank you for your offers of help, but there is nothing you can really do for me." Kain smiled sadly, he did not even mention the other curses given to him by the Seer....

Kain watched Seth...

OOC::: Seth is a him.

(before heading back to the geusts)"Do not turn down my offer so soon, young one. You have yet to see what we are capable of. This nations has few old vampires in it. But the ones it has have great knowledge. Our nation leader for one is known for this.... If he is in the good... mood.(He has MPS(you don't know this yet)). Anywho, I will ask one of the "Sorceress" to see what is known about this curse."

The word soeceress sounds like a curse and is uttered with little respect.

OOC::: Bleh, next class.

"Please do not do anything of the kind. Do you realise who put this upon me...Just leave things as they are....you would cause great harm. I am sure you could remove these curses, but it would be a further insult and a direct challenge to Qui! And....I do not want you to fight him, let alone myself....Let things stay as they are, it would be best this way. I deserve what I bear, I do not wish my...my crimes to overflow furthermore." Kain said to him, taking a step backwards.

Roberts chuckles lightly under his breath, his magic allowing him to hear and filter every conversation with perfect clearity..Being a mage had its bonuses.
So, the one called Kaine is under a curse and cannot harm mortals, that is interesting. And it would seem that our host has little love for the magically empowered. This should proove to be a worth while party after all. His mmod relaxes a bit as he refills his glass....

(OOC btw, I know you are not targeting Kain, but should a spell target Kain, there would be...interesting results, due to the unique properties of Kain's green skin.)

(OOC: of course. most of what he does effects only him, by enhancing hearing and such. No, I promised to play nice, so there will be no direct spell targeting.)

"No," Seth replied startled. "I only feed from my sire, and she is elsewhere. I do not have to feed for many years if chosen to. I'm an elder." He said in return with a suave smile.
He slowely noticed Kain and walked over. "Well, have you heard what's happening to Qui?" he asked.

Kain sighed. "I only hear fragments of truth, many things are rumors..." Kain siad, looking at Seth.

Seth paced around for a moment, his pale hands clasping behind him silently, and if not seen, his presense would go unnoticed. He looked toward Kain. "You know of his mother? and his father Kain?" He asked, and knew the answer to the questions he had inquired. "There is a suspiscion...that he was born from an angel and a vampire...before Ravelyn was sired. If it was after, he would have been a full blood vampire, however...if it was before, that would mean...he would be half angel, half vampire...making him an angelic vampire like Rave. Also controlling celestial powers would be key if this was true. He thinks no one has noticed any change in him. He has several white streaks in his hair Kain... it seems as if he is changing. You know of Rave's power, you have witnessed it before. His is now equal to that. He denies it though, saying he is a full blood vampire. And Ravelyn grows stronger to face her upcoming destiny...Qui is now at what she was before... and it makes me worry. It makes me worry about why all of this happens now. "

Roberts finds a convenient wall to lean against and continues his covert listening.
It would seem that the world of vampires is a nonstop soap opera. It seems strange to me that anything so melodramatic could be dangerous. His ears prick up, angel-vampire mating...impossable, they must just be boasting. Taking another drink...yes, just boasting.

OOC:

Linked! Important IC message to hosts (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1950613&highlight=#1950613)

Seth was indeed the eldest there. Kain knew this, but none of the others did. He looked towards Roberts, and picked up disbeleif in him. "I bet you'd like to meet the woman...she's quite extrodinary." he said, referring to Rave, and turned back to Kain.

Raising his glass to Seth, " Yes I am sure that I would like to meet her." I have never seen a vampire with angel wings pasted on.. This is going to make a most interesting report.

I can here you thoughts boy... he returned with a bigger smile. Your mind is weak, and your apparent lack of knowledge of Ravelyn Shentavo disgusts me. The oldest female vampire in existance, and you know not a thing to speak of.

Seth paced around for a moment, his pale hands clasping behind him silently, and if not seen, his presense would go unnoticed. He looked toward Kain. "You know of his mother? and his father Kain?" He asked, and knew the answer to the questions he had inquired. "There is a suspiscion...that he was born from an angel and a vampire...before Ravelyn was sired. If it was after, he would have been a full blood vampire, however...if it was before, that would mean...he would be half angel, half vampire...making him an angelic vampire like Rave. Also controlling celestial powers would be key if this was true. He thinks no one has noticed any change in him. He has several white streaks in his hair Kain... it seems as if he is changing. You know of Rave's power, you have witnessed it before. His is now equal to that. He denies it though, saying he is a full blood vampire. And Ravelyn grows stronger to face her upcoming destiny...Qui is now at what she was before... and it makes me worry. It makes me worry about why all of this happens now. "

Kain thought about these words, what they meant.

"So..full circle it turns. Destiny it seems has a...dare I say it...a replacement for Rave in the world's fate. I still cannot accept that Rave will die...but...if she would fall, Qui would take her place. But can Qui accept it? He certainly....certainly is not the most merciful of people. But to this question...Why now of all times? Why must all these events occour now? I still have much to tell Rave..." Kain said.

I know you can read my thoughts granpa, I am not as ignorant as you think, your arrogance will be your undoing. The appearance of youth is not always true with that something like an iron door slams in the metaphysical face of seth.

"I'm not quite sure, both Rave and Qui speak nothing of it. And if Qui were to take Ravelyn's place...he would have his own way of negotiating with nations." Kain knew what he meant, and a wave of concern passed over Seth for Ravelyn. "The angel will be able to face it...she's survived heaven and hell before."

Roberts chuckles a bit and begins moving about the room.

Description : Roberts appears to be in his early 30's , he has short dark hair and green eyes. his ears have a slight point and his eyes are almond shaped. He is dressed in an unassuming black suit with a white dress shirt and red tie.He is about 6 feet tall and athleticly built. Overall he looks very neat, and has a tie tack that is a pentagram.

"I know...but. But it doesn't seem right! I never thought that rave could die....We speak as though she is already dead! She cannot die, she will not! Damn destiny....damn it all!" Kain cursed at this prediciment, he did not want to lose Rave.

OOC::: I'm wondering, how old is set?

And this is gonna be one long read reply.. argh. Ow if you think Narack is talking to two persons at the same time, just shift the timescale a bit... You get what I mean right?
IC:::

" Well i like what you have done with the place, although it lacks a Tzimisce touch." (smirks in that 'crawls beneath your skin' way)"But it is.. nice, Narack."

"Did you not knew that I led the touch ups for this place? And we did not want to shock our guests. Not all of them are vampires. So, this seemed the best way."

Grins in a way that clearly means: Watch your tongue, or I might pull it out.

Bartholomew smiles slightly. "It is certainly...interesting."

A smile appears from nowhere on Narack's face.

"Thank you, it took me quite some time to find all those artist who were capable of performing this work of art."

Roberts approaches the drinks table and picks up a glass, not sure if it is a fluid to his liking he quickly changes it into a glass of red wine.....

He then begins to look around the room, waiting for the meeting to begin.

OOC::: There are cards on every table saying what is upon the table, I stated stuff in the opening, and I kept it vague. If you tell me that you are looking at it I will clarify

"Please do not do anything of the kind. Do you realise who put this upon me...Just leave things as they are....you would cause great harm. I am sure you could remove these curses, but it would be a further insult and a direct challenge to Qui! And....I do not want you to fight him, let alone myself....Let things stay as they are, it would be best this way. I deserve what I bear, I do not wish my...my crimes to overflow furthermore." Kain said to him, taking a step backwards.

Narack looks rather taken aback.

"as you wish young one, although I do not see why you still protect your old clan if this is what they did to you. And can it hurt to ask? I will do nothing unless it's permitted."

Roberts finds a convenient wall to lean against and continues his covert listening.
It would seem that the world of vampires is a nonstop soap opera. It seems strange to me that anything so melodramatic could be dangerous. His ears prick up, angel-vampire mating...impossable, they must just be boasting. Taking another drink...yes, just boasting.

OOC::: Now, I do no know if this is possible, so if it isn't ignore it.

IC:: A person in a long red robe appears from behind one of the drapes and approaches Roberts. "I have noticed that you are using magic. It has been told to me to ask you to please resort from using magic here. I am afraid that I would have to warn to host will this happen again." The person steps a bit closer. "People like there privacy here, give it to them."

With that he disappears behind the drapes again.

OOC::: What I meant was: Is it possible to detect the use of magic?

"No," Seth replied startled. "I only feed from my sire, and she is elsewhere. I do not have to feed for many years if chosen to. I'm an elder." He said in return with a suave smile.
He slowely noticed Kain and walked over. "Well, have you heard what's happening to Qui?" he asked.

"As you wish. Although I don't see what is so good about not feeding for years. But then again. It is your decision."

Narack returns the same smile.

"I know...but. But it doesn't seem right! I never thought that rave could die....We speak as though she is already dead! She cannot die, she will not! Damn destiny....damn it all!" Kain cursed at this prediciment, he did not want to lose Rave.

Narack notices Kain getting quite upset about something.

He approached the couple.

“Are there…problems?” He looks direct at Kain. “I mean, we are here to discuss diplomatic topics. Peacefully.” With the last word his gaze is abruptly placed upon Seth.

OOC::: Geez, one long reply.. =) Anywho, lez go on!!!

and I've got to say I'm enjoying this. Good RP work people!!!

"as you wish young one, although I do not see why you still protect your old clan if this is what they did to you. And can it hurt to ask? I will do nothing unless it's permitted."

"I deserved everything I recieved. To ask for this curse to be removed is unthinkable, I will serve my punishment, even though that may last forever. My answers stand. I thank you for your help, but you cannot fully understand my entire being and the reasons I do what I do. Thank you....." Kain trailed off and walked away.

“Are there…problems?” He looks direct at Kain. “I mean, we are here to discuss diplomatic topics. Peacefully.” With the last word his gaze is abruptly placed upon Seth.


"No..no problem." Kain said, and calmed down a bit.

I know you can read my thoughts granpa, I am not as ignorant as you think, your arrogance will be your undoing. The appearance of youth is not always true

Yet what we see clearly indicates otherwise to your apperance. Cease your slander, you know nothing of what you speak. True te appearance of youth is not always true, but your own words are evidance enough. Neither of us will accept any slander to Rave Shentavo or any of us.... Kain words floated into his mind. He could detect his defences, true Kain could not beat them, he was not paticulary skilled in the field, but Seth certainly could.

Narack was still staring at Seth.

"No..no problem." He heared Kain say. He looked at Kain. He seemed to have calm down.

"If problems would occur, contact me. Okay?" It was clear this message was directed at Kain.

"Cause I'm sure we can... Work them out." Narack said while looking at Seth again.

OOC::: Just to let you know, my char doesn't like seth.. The way he acted when Narack suggested the feeding didn't went down that well. Also to see Kain act like the way he does before Seth isn't quite what he likes(he is quite fond of kain to be honest).

EDIT:: OOC:: How old is seth?

An oddly-shaped figure walked through the door. Clad in a tattered brown robe, and hissing softly as it drew breath. "I seek the summit of vampires..." A hollow-sounding voice asks, by its depth, the speaker is obviously male. A pair of wide, reptillian feet protrude from under the cloak's hem. The Argonian waits in silence, his tail stirring beneath his cloak.

"Whiptail. He is a friend, allow him passage." Kain said.

"I am afraid you are incorrect, my friend. I am not Whiptail."

"No? My apologies...I assumed that you would be. Who might you be then...I do not recognise you." Kain said, correcting his mistake. He naturally assumed it was Whiptail.

"Ofcourse he is allowed acces, he wouldn't have gotten this far wouldn't he bin invited." Narack says with a smile.

"You have come to the right place. The summit is here. I am Narack of the Tzimisce, your host will be arriving later tonight. He is currently dealing with some.... issues..."

"No? My apologies...I assumed that you would be. Who might you be then...I do not recognise you." Kain said, correcting his mistake. He naturally assumed it was Whiptail.

The Argonian bows in respect. "I was known as Trasel, of the house of Bladeclaw. I am now known as Trasel Quarra, of the vampire clan Quarra." He faces Kain, his pure-white eyes staring, yet not staring. "Whiptail and I have hunted together, in the past. Before my transformation..." Trasel seats himself on a nearby chair. "I assume you are Kain. Tales of you have reached me, even in my isolation." Trasel seems odd. His scales are a milky green color, and a pair of long fangs protrude from his lipless mouth. His eyes are solid white, betraying no emotion.

OOC::: did ya ignore narack on purpose? Just checking, I have to know how he'll act to you =)

"No? My apologies...I assumed that you would be. Who might you be then...I do not recognise you." Kain said, correcting his mistake. He naturally assumed it was Whiptail.

The Argonian bows in respect. "I was known as Trasel, of the house of Bladeclaw. I am now known as Trasel Quarra, of the vampire clan Quarra." He faces Kain, his pure-white eyes staring, yet not staring. "Whiptail and I have hunted together, in the past. Before my transformation..." Trasel seats himself on a nearby chair. "I assume you are Kain. Tales of you have reached me, even in my isolation." Trasel seems odd. His scales are a milky green color, and a pair of long fangs protrude from his lipless mouth. His eyes are solid white, betraying no emotion.

"All truthful I hope, there are many things said about me, from many lips. But what those lips do not tell is the other side of the coin. It is good to see another, although I hope your change was one made of freewill." Kain said to him, respect in his voice and he was polite.

OOC::: Time for bed again people. I'll be taking a shower and then check the forums for a last time(if they are working), might post. and then head for bed.

Trasel shakes his head. "It was not of freewill, I was a hunter of our kind in the past, and stumbled apon the lair of the Quarra. I entered, and killed many, my great hammer splitting their skulls open, covering the floor with blood. I fought last the leader, Arlene Quarra. During our battle, my hammer was knocked from my grasp, and we fought barehanded. It was during a hold that she gashed my throat with he fangs, and I drove a silver dagger through her heart. Several days later, I was plagued with vile nightmares, of a maiden crying, her tears turning to blood. I dreamed myself tasting of the blood, and, looking up, found her to have trasnformed into Arlene Quarra." Trasel leans back in his chair, tucking his tail under it. "I awoke feeling dazed and tired, stumbling to a pool to drink. It was then that I noticed my eyes... Then the fangs..." His head sinks a bit lower, as if the telling of his tale is hard for him. "I had become that which I had hunted out of hatred for so many years... Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." He blinks deliberately. "I am the last of the Quarra, and seek to leave that name behind me. That is why I have come here."

Edit, Double post.

*triple post!*

*Anavrin entered the main ballroom quietly, seemingly out of nowhere. She was slightly annoyed that Pavis had asked her to attend this gathering... but since Malice was otherwise... occupied, she had to take his place. Normaly she didn't leave her home much, and leaving the nation was generaly out of the question, but she owed Malice for his help with establishing her school for Neonate Kindred in Eris Kallisti.
Every movement she made was done with a certin grace and dignity. It was obvious she was -much- older then she looked. Her skin was pale and tranlucent as moonlight, and seemed almost marble-like. It was like her face might crack if she changed expressions. Right now her expression was a mask of calm, but her eyes shimmered with something more... curitosity? Confusion? Maybe a ting of paranoia, and defensiveness. She didn't know who might recognize her...
Her presance commanded attention and adoration (Majesty power), this power of her's made people friendly towards her unless she physicaly attacks someone, or is verbaly malicious.*

((OOC: for all you WoD people out ther she's an obvious elder, and more then likely Cappadocian or a similar clan. appearance 6: supernaturaly beautiful, its hard to approach her or speak to her if your human. She has a hidden past that she doesn't even know about, so people are wellcome to recognize her from back before she can remember. Feel free to make stuff up good or bad *grin*))

Kain clenched his cloven fist.

"I...I am sorry for you freind. True there are many advantages to being a vampire, but such gifts are double edged. I know that side of the sword extremely well....And with no sire. You seek guidance? You have it, I am happy to help you in any way I can." Kain said warmly.

OOC:::

Anywho, bed time! I'll talk to you tommorow!!!!!

Anywho, bed time! I'll talk to you tommorow!!!!!((OOC: yeah, she's been kindred for at least 600 years. She doesn't remember being human, but its been hinted towards she may have killed her sire at some point. If you guys have a character older then her, your wellcome to recognize her from when she was human too. I have no idea what her human name would have been, she's Greek though))

OOC: The humans are coming! The humans are coming! Watch as my ambassador (hopefully permanent) acts all... humany! (and will be ignorant... and crazy... oh my!)

IC: Lauren Mitchells stepped off her plane. It was night. Of course. She shivered, and it wasn't just because of the chill in the air. She couldn't belive the Foreign Minister actually sent her here. Vampires, she thought, this cannot be real. But it was. The Prime Minister himself actually called her into his office and laid down what was going on. Stepping into the ballroom, Lauren stared at the assemblage of figures. Almost all of them were vampires. She looked over at the wall. There were vials of... something red... over on the side. Blood. She felt slightly faint. Quickly, she scanned the labels on all the tables, looking for something she could drink. She spotted some wine. She poured herself a glass, then sat down on an armchair, trying not to look back at the... blood.

OOC: Now to see how everyone reacts... just to tell you she's pretty ignorant, just like me :)

ooc: I love it when characters go against seth or qui..it's just extremely amusing. :D Seth is around ten millenia...

Seth smiled softly. He looked as if he were 25. His dark brown hair was unkempt and messy. His cold black eyes pierced the toughest of skin. He looked like a college student. But behind his pale skin, behind his dark eyes, behind his spiteful demeneur, layed knowledge held within the vast labyrinths of his mind. "And your arrogance shall be your downfall as well. I am not arrogant, simply...protective of my sire."

ooc: i need to bump this cuz the link thing ain't working, i invited some one to the summit, and i can't link it for some reason.

*Anavrin, often called "Lady Anavrin" by her students and those who resected her, moved accross the floor. It seemed more like she floated then walked, her movements were smooth, and careful, but slow. Her eyes flickered over the human woman, and she shook her head a bit. A part of her wished she could see the woman as food, but her thirst was for something stronger. She could drink the blood of humans, but it gave her no nourishment anymore. The blood of other kindred was all she could drink.... luckly the head of Bio-engineering on Eris Kallisti was able to make her a substitute, but it still made her aura read that of a soul drinker. Anavrin settled on a loveseat and watched the room in silence*

Lauren stared, then quickly averted her gaze. A vampire was moving toward her. A real life vampire. How could this happen to her? She tried to rein in her emotions. As the... vampire... settled into a loveseat, she tried to say something. Make conversation. Something. Everything got caught in her throught. She could never know how a... vampire... might react to anything...

*Anavrin glanced over at the human woman and nodded just slightly. She knew most humans had troubles talking with her, not that it normaly bothered her, but it did make things incredibly boreing sometimes. No emotion was on her face, nothing on her was readable except a small glimer in her dark eyes. So many others here, but she didn't recognize a singel one fully... sometimes she'd have a feeling, or a slightly recognition, but then it would fade quickly in a fleeting memory. A small quiet sigh escaped her, and she crossed her legs, straightening out her dress-like robes as she did so*

[OOC Link for another OOC rant in another thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1956651#1956651). Note I may replace this to add my characters who aren't just showing up, but actually had a fair bit of... communication with the nation before finally deciding to come. After all, people don't like me bringing my own weapons... despite the arguement that vampires are weapons in themselves...]

Bartholomew glances towards Lauren with barely surpressed hunger, smiling faintly. He then turns and heads rather quickly towards one of the tables. He takes a glass of blood and sips it slowly. His gaze then moves towards Anavrin, smiling just faintly towards her, his eyes sparkling.

*Anavrin nods briefly to Bartholomew. Did he know her? He was headed this way... Her insides tensed a bit, but she kept her cool exterior. She didn't return the smile, but her eyes shined pleasently. Maybe he was simply curious of her. Anavrin kicked herself mentaly for being so paranoid. Her hands rested on her knee that wrapped over her other leg. relax relax relax....*

Only his gaze moved towards Anavrin. Bartholomew remains where he is, sipping slowly, watching the room.

OOC:If my miniguns aren't okay, just ignore all revelant sections of post.

IC:Dimvilya Araregiel Bulëbor rides up on a bright green motorbike with two sidecars in the same colour then parks outside and gets a sword out from under the seat, unscrews the two plastic covers and retrieves her two miniguns from inside the sidecars then screws the covers back into place. Dimvilya then straps the sword to her belt and attaches the miniguns to it before walking inside and looking around. Odd, I thought there would be more humans here, she thought before shrugging and walking over to one of the tables and getting herself a glass.


OOC: details and related crap:
One of the sidecars has "we love Resi" on the side and the other "Illegitimi non Carborundum" in bright red flowing script. They are both filled with a large pile of minigun ammo with a minigun on top underneath a clear plastic bowl which screws into the sidecar. In addition, there is a ceremonial 6ft long sword made of diamond in a hidden compartment under the bike seat.

OOC::: There are cards on every table saying what is upon the table, I stated stuff in the opening, and I kept it vague. If you tell me that you are looking at it I will clarify


OOC::: Now, I do no know if this is possible, so if it isn't ignore it.

IC:: A person in a long red robe appears from behind one of the drapes and approaches Roberts. "I have noticed that you are using magic. It has been told to me to ask you to please resort from using magic here. I am afraid that I would have to warn to host will this happen again." The person steps a bit closer. "People like there privacy here, give it to them."

With that he disappears behind the drapes again.

OOC::: What I meant was: Is it possible to detect the use of magic?



OOC: It is possable with the obvious stuff he was doing ie the eavesdropping, some of what he does is not as obvious, like the death sight.

IC: Before the man disappears Roberts turns to him " I am very sorry, I did not intend to be rude. I will cease this magic . Again I am sorry if I have offended our host." With that he ceases the spell allowing him to hear the other conversations. He had heard enough...Rave may die, interesting....
He then walks over to the table and notices for the first time that there are cards saying what the items are, he reads them over looking for a nice wine and perhaps something to eat.....It had been a very long flight.

Yet what we see clearly indicates otherwise to your apperance. Cease your slander, you know nothing of what you speak. True te appearance of youth is not always true, but your own words are evidance enough. Neither of us will accept any slander to Rave Shentavo or any of us.... Kain words floated into his mind. He could detect his defences, true Kain could not beat them, he was not paticulary skilled in the field, but Seth certainly could.

Kain only hears laughter in his head. Roberts again raises his glass to Kain.

Roberts looks up from the table when Anavrin enters...My goodness that is an attractive woman...he then shifts his sight a bit...an attractive undead. He notices the subtle play of his thought processes as she enters, I wonder how our host will feel about the use of vampiric powers on his guests......

Radu Vykos leans towards one of his compainions, whispers something in his ear. he looks over at the human, evil thoughts raced through his head. he put them aside, there was more important things to be done here.


ooc: if any one has auspex, or the equivilent (psychic ability, enhanced senses ect) and would like to know what i said to my compainion tg me and i'll tell ya, it wasn't plot related or anything important

Meanwhile – In a near by airport…

A loud humming can be heard in the distance of the dark nights, the citizens look up and see what can only be described as a high tech military helicopter (with no visible rotor blades I might add).

Slowly it lands on a near by empty helipad after verifying that it had permission to land. Some of the citizens looking up in confusion and anxiety as the militaristic craft slowly hovers down towards the platform.

A couple minutes later, a small group of people come out of the building underneath, some of them the countries own police forces, others a wearing black uniforms and a rifle-like weapon all dressed in evening wear.

The Iuthian envoy arrives at the summit. Two of the envoy are Iuthian Black Vipers, a highly trained force consisting of specialist in their own field (these two have majors in defence tactics and escorting). They are wearing highly formal black uniforms which have been designed for such occasions. One of them is a Clanger while the other is just a normal human.

One is also, quite alarmingly, carrying high tech rifle-like weapon. (anyone familiar to Iuthian technology will recognise it as a Gauss Rifle, the standard Iuthian rifle).

The one in the envoy the Iuthian representative Kayla, who is wearing a simple yet beautiful white dress, showing a little bit of cleavage and the bottom of the dress goes down to her ankles. She is wearing a small platinum necklace, thankfully, all the costs being footed for by the Iuthian military.

The envoy enters with half the room staring at them for what seems to be a life time (for Kayla, the others don't worry about etiquette in the small way). The background music is currently on a waltz, but Kayla isn't too interested and decides to try her luck with a little conversation with some of the other guests; after finishing a formal chat with the host. Meanwhile her men decide to take positions near the door and near the buffet table... military barracks food isn't all that nice.

Dimvilya walks over to Roberts. "Greetings, human. Which nation are you representing at this conference?"

Roberts noticed the other humans enter and decideds to go over and introduce himself to the striking woman who has just entered. Good looking and still alive thats two for two.

"Hello, please allow me to be so bold as to introduce myself. I am Anthony Roberts, ambassador from Celeborne . " He extends a hand and a drink (not blood) to the woman. " Laughing he says " Also I am alive, have been making a habit of it for many years . " He asserts a mild magic to make an assesment of her general mood.

Roberts turns to Dimvilya "Greetings to you as well. I am a represenative of The People's Republic of Celeborne. And you ? "

Dimvilya"I am here to represent the glorious and supreme Kingdom of Olympus Coliseum."

" I see, tell me a bit about your nation." Roberts scanned him quickly to see if he was alive or dead.

OOC: :? Dimvilya's female :wink:

IC: "Well, we've been around for 2530 years. The current government's been in power since my father-in-law, King Maltalossë Carisilion Iarfanawen, abdicated in 1175 A.F. in favour of his son, Minyualion Sirithgollo Morgwathion."

OOC: :oops: Ok, he scans her to see if she is alive.

" Most interesting. I assume that makes you part of the royal family ?"

Kayla slowly entered the room with her two guards, Lizo and Jianto, kept pace with their eyes tracking across the room, taking in everything the room had to offer. Kayla was obviously stunned with the elegance of palace ballroom; after all, she comes from a nation that prefers practicality and defensive capability rather then aesthetics.

The room itself was a beautiful décor coloured a dark thick red complimented by a bold jet black. On the walls hung historical figures that were unknown to Kayla, so she assumed it was something to do with the nation itself, she would have to ask the host about it some time.

In the corner a band plays classical music, much to Kayla’s delight they are playing a nice little number from South Hungary. On the other side of the ballroom the wall is lined with what looked like mahogany tables housing many culinary delights and what looked to be white wine, Kayla wasn’t sure though because she still stood near the entrance of the room.

Totally taken aback by the splendour of the room Kayla stood in her spot for a moment as her two guards moved to different areas of the Hall. Lizo, a clanger, made his way towards the band, leaning on a wall near them. Clangers liked music and Lizo could remember the days when he used to collect notes from music trees. Jianto, a human, made his way toward the tables at the back, keeping out of the patrons way so not to get drawn into a conversation which will undoubtedly go over his head.

“Nice isn’t it?” A man in evening wear had walked up beside her while see was slowly turning her head to view it all. “Hello, please allow me to be so bold as to introduce myself. I am Anthony Roberts, ambassador from Celeborne.”

“Greeting Anthony, I am Kayla Harmone, a humble representative for Iuthia. And yes, you may be so bold.” Kayla smiled; socialising is different in Iuthia due to the strong militaristic indoctrination, though she did have a little experience with other nations.

Anthony then extended his hand to give Kayla a drink of what looked to be red wine. She accepted his offer more out of politeness then need and smiled back at him while he went on to say, “Also I am alive, have been making a habit of it for many years.”

Kayla didn’t think he looked dead… thinking more about the context of the comment she supposed it made sense, after all, this is a summit for vampires which are notorious for being dead by all of medical science’s means of detection. “I think you will find I am alive too Anthony, I came here to learn more about vampires and their nature for my nation. How about yourself, are you hear in the interest of greater understanding or do you just like the free food?” Again, she smiled… her mind is naturally resistant to mental probing like all Iuthians, coupled with training and a relatively strong willpower she isn’t easy to read, though certainly not impossible.

Lower priority information like her feelings were almost open for reading as you would a book, however her naturally high willpower makes it a little more difficult then most. Currently she is feeling a sense of awe, though obviously this is not directed at Anthony and her feeling about him are a little dwarfed by that awe, however with enough concentration you can discern that she is pleased to meet him, though shows little sigh of anything more then contentment.

OOC: http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:YXLVjsisR9kC:www.dur.ac.uk/ashley.holmes/clanger.gif
This is what your average Clanger looks like, though Lizo will be wearing the darker uniform of the Iuthian military, so he will look… very interesting. Clangers are not magical being, though I would have to speak to Clangerland to be sure. They defiantly are no more powerful then a human and they prefer low gravity environments, Lizo is just the odd exception, being the only Clanger in the Black Vipers… they are normally a peaceful race.

“I think you will find I am alive too Anthony, I came here to learn more about vampires and their nature for my nation. How about yourself, are you hear in the interest of greater understanding or do you just like the free food?”
Roberts responds with a light laugh. " I must admit that a free meal now and again is one of the perks of this line of employment, but I am also here to gain a deeper understanding of the vampires and the world that they live in for my nation. There are also several nations, such as your own, that we have not had the opportunity to have more open relations with and I seek to change that." Her level of mental skill impressed him, this one would make a good Akashic.
Smiling " There is also the added bonus of getting to examine the architecture of other nations. This place is most impressive, I love the variation of color and this is a most interesting theme. I am ashamed to admit that I had expected the meeting site to be a tad more...how to say this...tomb like."

“You’d think so wouldn’t you, but we learned a long time ago that vampires are not as clichéd as you would think. I’ll admit it, looking at some of the guests here you would think they are… but we think most of them act human in order to avoid persecution, not that I blame them with recent events and all.” She was pleased that someone found her amusing, in a positive way. Closer examination of her thoughts will reveal a metallic box, this is metaphorical of course and it would take someone with knowledge of hypnotism to understand that it is a mental block designed to hold vital information, accessed like a secure file information inside it is only viewed when necessary (to talk about something inside it) and disappears as quickly as it came.

“Anyways, back to your point of extending understanding” She knew this was her point originally, but she didn’t want to say that. “We personally feel that vampires as very much like humans, which should be obvious really seeing as they often were humans. The point is that they are not inherently evil like many church suggest, but like humans they can be nice or they can be terrible… it depending on who they were and what their sire makes of them.” She then smiled again, knowing full well that Anthony was keeping up, not that it was complex or anything. After waiting for a reply, she then popped another question.

“I don’t suppose you could tell me a little more about Celeborne… I don’t believe I’ve read about it, for all I know I could be missing something vital.”

perks up.
looks at Roberts.
gives a blank stare for a moment.
gets up from his chair.
slowly walks up to the mage. "greetings to you, human. do not be alarmed. as you are here you obviously have some sway with our host. i wish to indroduce my self. Radu Vykos, Tzimisce from the nation of syncomp15. welcome to our summit. i trust there will be no hostilities, as we are here in peace."

“Anyways, back to your point of extending understanding .We personally feel that vampires as very much like humans, which should be obvious really seeing as they often were humans. The point is that they are not inherently evil like many church suggest, but like humans they can be nice or they can be terrible… it depending on who they were and what their sire makes of them.”
His faced turned serious and he took a quieter tone " I think the prejudices of my nation come more from feeding habits than personality or any sort of religious doctrine. And also a poor past with the undead. I hope that this meeting will be the start of a real change in our nation regarding these people." It was unusual from him to use the term people rather than creature when referring to vampires.

“I don’t suppose you could tell me a little more about Celeborne… I don’t believe I’ve read about it, for all I know I could be missing something vital.”
"Well, where to begin. Our country was formed and based on medical sciences. We have spent decades developing new medical procedures and medicines. We have branched out into cybernetics, space travel, set up a humanitarian aid organization for refugees and have some small amount of magically talented people. We also have a growing community of non-humans. This last bit has largely caused the drive towards a deeper understanding of the undead community." He took a sip of his wine. " But listen to me go on. Tell me a bit about your home."

perks up.
looks at Roberts.
gives a blank stare for a moment.
gets up from his chair.
slowly walks up to the mage. "greetings to you, human. do not be alarmed. as you are here you obviously have some sway with our host. i wish to indroduce my self. Radu Vykos, Tzimisce from the nation of syncomp15. welcome to our summit. i trust there will be no hostilities, as we are here in peace."

Turning with a warm smile " I am sorry, I am afraid that I hold no sway with our host, but I am glad to meet you none the less." A quick scan conferms what he suspects : vampire " I am Anthony Roberts, from the nation of Celeborne." Then extending his hand " Of course there will be no hostilities, this is a peaceful mission. " laughing " And I am not quite the inquisator type."

ooc: I love it when characters go against seth or qui..it's just extremely amusing. :D Seth is around ten millenia...

Seth smiled softly. He looked as if he were 25. His dark brown hair was unkempt and messy. His cold black eyes pierced the toughest of skin. He looked like a college student. But behind his pale skin, behind his dark eyes, behind his spiteful demeneur, layed knowledge held within the vast labyrinths of his mind. "And your arrogance shall be your downfall as well. I am not arrogant, simply...protective of my sire."

OOC::: Mate, I'm gonna have to object.... A vampire of ten millenia(10,000 of years!!) almost for sure has to be in torpor, or have fallen to the beast. Please... Make him balanced, I do not like balanced chars, and seeing I'm hosting, I might be temped to sent some... things... after you if you decide to keep him overpowered. I'm sorry... but truely....

Ok, i'll post more after I get back from school(well, I have a hour of before I'm going to practice the play i'm in. I'll post some more then).

Three men enter the room. All are dressed in a similar style only in differing colours, one in blue, one in red and one in black. Their style has a regal look, each with a cloak hanging from the right shoulder and a jeweled sword from the left hip. The white lace of the shirt front and cuffs contrasts brightly with the deep colours of the military uniforms. The man in blue introduces himself as Kamen Faust, 1st Mage of The Empire of Qualis. The man in red is General Vorok, head of the Qualis Security forces. The final man, standing tall at 6ft3 holds himself with an air grace yet hidden power. His long white hair emphasises the black of his suit and flows down over his shoulders and covers half his face. A scar runs across one of his eyes which are deepest red as he scans the room. This is Emperor Raziel Dantés, ruler of the high house of Qualis. He nods at his General who walks and stands by the the door keeping hawk like eyes on the room and everyone in it. Kamen Faust takes two glasses of red wine from a passing waiter and hands one to the Emperor with a nodding bow then moves to stand over his right shoulder.

“Hm… I’m afraid out medical techniques have always concentrated on field medicine and treatment. I dare say we have some very efficient recovery techniques but our doctors are a little behind on long term treatment, I think afterwards we are going to have to have a talk about the possibilities of trade… but we’re not here for that at the moment and I’d hate to veer away from the point.” She stood in contemplation for a moment, thinking about how best to describe Iuthia.

“Iuthia is a nation based around the principals of military discipline and respect. At a young age children are placed in a learning environment with a strong sense of discipline mixed into it. Thankfully with parents who were brought up in the same way, discipline and respect are common standards among the Iuthian society, it is highly rare to find an unruly child in Iuthia. However, it has been suggested by various educational think tanks that this impedes imagination and makes school less fun… with some kids we can see this with others they make the best of it.

“Anyways, once we have taught them to respect their teachers and to follow rules as well as the normal mathematics we then continue that teaching through-out all levels of education, though we don’t have to work on it all the time, allowing more time for real education. The mental discipline we teach increases their efficiency more then enough to make up for the lost hours spent on teaching the additional values.

Military service is compulsory for everyone and they have to do it for around about 2 years before they are considered citizens and given citizen rights and freedoms, before that they are technically teenagers in the eyes of the law, they don’t have full rights except those that protect them. They may take this military service anytime they like between the ages of 18-28, bearing in mind they don’t become adults until they join up.

“Unfortunately, this means a large percentage of the Iuthian military is made up of new recruits who are completely ‘green’ in comparison to the professional soldiers. Thankfully the large funds that the military receive allows them to continue to employ good soldiers while stile taking in those who have to join.

“The military run many parts of the Iuthian society, most notably the emergency services. Iuthia’s ‘Police’ are not called the ‘Police’ as this would suggest they were not given military training, instead they are ‘Peacekeepers’ and they have been highly trained to become one of the best policing forces around. Our hospital services and fire services are also run by the military, though they have been trained and educated conventionally and instead run the service like a military operation. Orphanages are one of the more notorious military owned services, controversial because children who do not have parents become the militaries responsibility, they still have the freedom of normal children and adults (once they’ve served), but they often make the best soldiers. A large proportion of the Iuthian Black Viper Specialists come from Orphanages.

“Our technology is pretty conventional except for in a few key areas. We have developed magnetic technologies to the extent that they have become far beyond average world standard. With this knowledge we have made Gauss Rifles our conventional weapon, while not as powerful as they are often portrayed in films, they are still highly advanced in comparison to our older weapon systems. We have also produced Hover Tanks with this technology with varied success, the Hippogriff Support Craft I here in is a prime example of something we have done right.

“While we are militaristic and it would seem to the outside world that Iuthia doesn’t allow its people freedoms, but to say that would insult almost any Iuthian you say it to. Our civil freedoms are well above average because we have earned the right to them by serving for our country, the government doesn’t pry into out private lives and allow us to do almost anything providing we don’t hurt others, yes, we are not aloud to vote, but with even the hypocritical UN recognising Iuthian’s as the 450th happiest people on earth we are happy with James’s rule, which has brought much needed stability.

“Ahem… anyways… I think that is more then enough for you to tell your people about… though we did find out something that may be of little use to this summit. Iuthian’s are naturally inept as far as magic is concerned… our officials believe that it is possible for Iuthian’s to learn magic, but they would have to work twice as hard as others, this is possibly because of our slight resistance to some magical techniques. It is often found that those who are resistant to magic have problems doing it themselves*… so, I hope you can find use for that information… I need a breather…”


*Ooops… did I type that in bold? I must have done it for OOC empathise, Kayla didn’t change her tone while saying it.

(ooc: I've seen ones over hundreds of millenias in this game...Coro claiming thousands of millenia.... the only two that reach near that age are seth and qui....and just because he's old doesn't mean he is extremely powerful.)

Seth leaned up against the wall listening. That boy he hadn't taken a liking to. He watched him carefully, then turned his attention back to Kain. "So how do you fare?"

"Your nation is most interesting and the manditory military service among other things is very simular to my own home. I find the magic resistance most intresting as well. I hope at some point in the future we will have the chance to complete this talk, but as you have suggested " He then laughs " This is not the place or time. You have been most informative and interesting, I look forward to talking to you again." He gives her a short bow and begins to move around the room.

Kayla does the same because she thinks it a Celeborne tradition or something, Iuthian dictators may rule all, but they don’t have people bowing at their feet. Kayla looks down at her glass and gives it a sniff… then decides that she would rather have water for the time being. Kayla watches Anthony walk away and then heads off to go and see what her guards are up to, she doubts many people have seen a Clanger before and she’s like to be near Lizo to make sure everything is ok.

Seth leaned up against the wall listening. That boy he hadn't taken a liking to. He watched him carefully, then turned his attention back to Kain. "So how do you fare?"

Kain looked ay Seth. "Better than I have been. I...seem to be changing. My language is changing and my mind thinks differently, the vast complexities of some matters seem to be laid out perfectly, I can do many things at once. I was not the quick judgemental person I was once I feel. It is an...improvement I am sure." He smiled.

Raziel wanders the room with his 1st Mage at his side. He notices the representative from Celeborne and introduces himself.
"Good evening Ambassador Roberts. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Raziel Dantes of Qualis. I am suprised to see so many human ambassadors here at a Vampire Nation Summit. I am glad some people seek understanding of us rather than our extinction."

perks up.
looks at Roberts.
gives a blank stare for a moment.
gets up from his chair.
slowly walks up to the mage. "greetings to you, human. do not be alarmed. as you are here you obviously have some sway with our host. i wish to indroduce my self. Radu Vykos, Tzimisce from the nation of syncomp15. welcome to our summit. i trust there will be no hostilities, as we are here in peace."*Anavrin's eyes flickered over to the Tzimisce as he anounced himself. A slight frown crossed her lips. She'd been a part of the Sabbat a long time ago, and now avoided them at all costs.*

(ooc: I've seen ones over hundreds of millenias in this game...Coro claiming thousands of millenia.... the only two that reach near that age are seth and qui....and just because he's old doesn't mean he is extremely powerful.)

Seth leaned up against the wall listening. That boy he hadn't taken a liking to. He watched him carefully, then turned his attention back to Kain. "So how do you fare?"
Ok, by the way you were saying that it was fun to see chars go against seth I thought he was.. My mistake, sorry.

OOC:no, Dimvilya not alive

"Yes, I'm the queen. Now please tell me about your country."

Kain clenched his cloven fist.

"I...I am sorry for you freind. True there are many advantages to being a vampire, but such gifts are double edged. I know that side of the sword extremely well....And with no sire. You seek guidance? You have it, I am happy to help you in any way I can." Kain said warmly.

Trasel nods. "I would be honored to serve under you, but is that wise? I have heard that you are a 'fledgeling', although I know not what that means. You have expeirenced more as a vampire than I have, for certain. Since my turning, I have hunted beasts in the ashlands, not preying apon the 'cattle' of the Quarra. I have had no other contact with anyone human for a very long time, my only entertainment being the task of keeping curious explorers out of the home of the Clan. There are secrets there that no mortal should learn." Trasel seems lost in thought, remembering when he made the decision to set the cattle free.

OOC: Cattle are humanoid captives, kept for feeding purposes. They are not chosen to be 'sired', yet serve as food for the members of their clan.
The damn forum screwed up my ID again. I'll edit those right quick.

-Damn Forum-

OOC::: ARGH! MY POST DISAPEARED!!! :evil: :cry:

Anywho, I suggest you RP out your convo's i'll quickly greet any new comers. Ow and btw, ignore those miniguns, not allowed in.

IC(to Anavrin)::: Narack saw her entering and thus walked up to her.

"Ah, you're here. I didn't think they would send you over to be honest. I didn't think I would ever see you again." Narack said quite surprised. "Ow another thing, please don't use your disciplines.. Not to manipulate others."

IC(to Dimvilya Araregiel Bulëbor):::

"Welcome to the Free Land of Lunoris. The host will soon arrive. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."


IC(to roberts)::: "Ah, so your Celebornes representative. I hope you are here on free will, seeing your country didn't seem to like Vampires the first time our countries met. But I hope the rest of our meetings can turn out better. Ow, by the way, if you have a question, feel free to ask it. And one question to you, how do you like the design of this place?" Narack asks curious.

"Two more things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. The host will arrive shortly."

IC(to Kayla)::: "I see you have arrived safely. I hope the trip was alright? Have the escorts arrived? Ow, and I apologize again for the restriction of weapons, but we had to be sure we could keep the peace here. I hope you understand." Narack says the last part with a small smile.

"The host will arrive shortly, if you have any questions feel free to ask them."

IC(to Raziel Dantés):::

Narack moves up to Dantés ignoring the others completely.

"A pleasure to meet you mister Dantés. My name is Narack. I hope your trip here was convenient. The host will arrive shortly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

OOC::: someone was talking about the design, just ask Narack, or one of the servants.

((bah... another double post))

IC(to Anavrin)::: Narack saw her entering and thus walked up to her.

"Ah, you're here. I didn't think they would send you over to be honest. I didn't think I would ever see you again." Narack said quite surprised. "Ow another thing, please don't use your disciplines.. Not to manipulate others."
*Anavrin raised a brow, and stood slowly as Narack walked over to her. He looked slightly familiar, but the image fled her mind quickly when she tried to focus on it.*

I only use my powers defesively... I've been attacked far too many times to lower my gaurd. I mearly make them respect me so I don't have to make a bloody mess on your carpet when someone decides its time to try and take my head again.

*He knew her.... now how to go about this... maybe he knew why she was constantly getting attacked.*

Do I... know you?

*She asked tenitively, her voice low, and soft. She made no effort to drop the power she was using, not untill she felt more safe in this strange place... or was it strange?*

Samuel Belmont* stepped up to the mansion, wondering what he was doing there. He'd had little contact with others after his...transformation... and had spent the last few months in isolation, building up his resistance to holy magic. Unlike others of his kind, he had an aura of holy light, and knew that he would instantly stand out once he was inside. He sighed, and quietly strode inside, waiting for the crowd's reaction to an undead vampire hunter.




* = I plan to resurrect him as a vampire during The Great Hunt, so don't be alarmed, he isn't here to kill you :).

OOC::: eh.. did I invite you :oops:
If not.. you can rp, as long as you keep things civil(if you want to fight, contact me and the person you are planning to fight). Also, don't bear arms. unless your dress code Tells you too.

OOC: You said that all vampires were welcome in Kain's thread about his blood cigars, and Samuel is a vampire. Don't worry, I'm not here to fight.

OOC::: This doesn’t mean you can not continue your convo’s just think that this after them. The time line isn’t set. I only encourage you to round things up a bit.

IC::: The band stopped playing. And Narack stepped on the podium. He waited for attention. After a few seconds a eerie silence settles over the rest of the gathering(try to speak, you won’t be able to utter a word(discipline of the Assamite, TG for info)). Narack cleared his troath.

“Ah, thank you for your attention.” He said with a smile on his face. “Your host will be arriving shortly. While we wait for him I thought I might announce the schedule for the rest of the night. First off we will…” Narack stopped in the middle of the sentence. The smile slowly disappeared from his face. In the door which let to the rest of the palace a man could be seen standing. He was about 1,80 meters in length, and has white hair. His hair never seemed to have to pleasure to dance with any form of hairbrush. His face is quite old, around the sixties. His eyes have fallen into his skull a bit. But the man does have a nice and trustworthy look over his face. Well, he would have if he hadn’t been dressed in pajamas. And that he was looking really strange out of his eyes.
His voice was full of anger when he said:

“What are all these nimwits doing here?!? Have I not made it clear that I wanted to sleep tonight! It’s going to be one long day in office tomorrow.”

Narack seemed to have come to himself again.
“John?”
The man replied.
“What?!?”
“The summit, remember?”
“What are you talking about you idiot, get to the freaking point!”
Narack sighs.
“Do you know the Vampire summit? It was planned today.”
“Really, are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Ah.. So that’s why all these people are staring at me?”
“Yes.”
“Makes sense if you think about it, doesn’t it?”
”Yup”
“Ah, well, Pleasure to meet you people! Now, seeing I’m not really dressed in a party uniform, let me change. Ow, never mind that. It’s not like you people really care do you?” John asked with a open face.
Narack sighed.

OOC::: Please tell me if you like this. Ow, and it is beeeeed time again. So I’ll check what you guys think of it in the morning. Ow, btw, my nation leader isn’t a puppet or idiot. He has MPS, and is further just a bit crazy. He is brilliant. But crazy. He also has charisma of 5(if not more).

*Anavrin's head tilted slightly as the man in his pajamas entered. How odd... Malkavain perhaps? She scanned his aura without even realizing she was doing it.*

Lauren was about to say something, then stopped. She realized there were other humans here. It made her heart a little glad. She wasn't the only one living here. Suddenly, a man was standing in the door which lead to the rest of the palace. Not a man, Lauren reminded herself, not a man. The figure seemed a bit disheveled. And judging by his 'conversation' with the spokesman ((OOC: You forgot to welcome me :cry: :wink:)), a bit wrong in the brain. Lauren waited for more developments, trying to ignore the looks by the vampires that could only be described as... hungry.

An odd fellow... his aura seems tainted with madness... even still, he seems docile enough. Trasel says to himself in thought. His grip longed to hold his mighty warhammer, Skull Crusher, to draw security from its comforting weight.

Samuel was glad when the pajama clad man came in shortly after him - it drew attention away from himself. He looked around the room, his eyes settling on a young woman, probably human, looking extremely nervous. He looked at her and smiled a warm smile, and began striding towards her.

Lauren was a bit surprised to see a man smiling at her and walking towards her. Actually smiling at her. She took a sip of the wine, then stood up and walked towards him. "Hello," she said nervously, "my name's Lauren Mitchells. I'm the delegate from East Romit."

"My name's Samuel Belmont, pleased to meet you my lady." He said, as he bent down to kiss her hand.

"East Romit? I've heard you get fantastic weather this time of year." His manner was calm and chatty - much different from the other paranoid, nervous vampires.

Lauren was quite taken aback by Samuel's kiss. It was very different from the haughty vampire's reaction to her. "Oh, well, no, I'm not a Lady," said Lauren, "I'm just a Foreign Ministry lackey who got drafted into this." She continued in a lower tone of voice, "and I can't say I blame the Foreign Minister for not coming." Continuing at a normal tone of voice, she said, "Thank you for the compliment on our climate. It is pretty nice at this time of the year, but honestly you get used to it."

((OOC: Any of you vampires care to prove her wrong on her unhappiness with vampires? Oh yeah, here's a description of Lauren:
-Shoulder length brown hair (not pure brown, some lighter streaks)
-Green eyes
-About 5'11" (too lazy to turn it into meters!)
-wearing a nice suit (of course fashioned for females), which is black.
-currently looking slightly nervous, except when looking at Samuel ;)))

Kain looked ay Seth. "Better than I have been. I...seem to be changing. My language is changing and my mind thinks differently, the vast complexities of some matters seem to be laid out perfectly, I can do many things at once. I was not the quick judgemental person I was once I feel. It is an...improvement I am sure." He smiled.[/quote]

Seth paused for a moment. "There is a way to remove the curse," he said softly looking to Kain, inaudible to anyone else in the room. "I'm not quite sure..i've only been able to translate some of texts. It's written in angelic, that's why Qui had inflicted it on you rather than Daja...Daja could not speak the language."

Raziel wanders the room with his 1st Mage at his side. He notices the representative from Celeborne and introduces himself.
"Good evening Ambassador Roberts. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Raziel Dantes of Qualis. I am surprised to see so many human ambassadors here at a Vampire Nation Summit. I am glad some people seek understanding of us rather than our extinction."

“And I is good to meet you as well.” Roberts seemed a bit nervous. “Our policy on the undead has not yet jelled, so I am here to learn what I can about these people and report back to my government.”




OOC:no, Dimvilya not alive

"Yes, I'm the queen. Now please tell me about your country."

“I should address you as your Majesty then. “ He says with a slight bow. “ Celeborne is a beautiful nation that is dedicated to ending human suffering in all of its forms. We have a very diverse population and spend most of our time developing our medical skills and extending the hand of diplomacy.”



IC(to Roberts)::: "Ah, so your Celebornes representative. I hope you are here on free will, seeing your country didn't seem to like Vampires the first time our countries met. But I hope the rest of our meetings can turn out better. Ow, by the way, if you have a question, feel free to ask it. And one question to you, how do you like the design of this place?" Narack asks curious.

"Two more things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. The host will arrive shortly."

“Oh yes, I am here of my own free will. I cannot lie and say that I volunteered for this duty; I must admit that this makes me more than a little nervous. I am however dedicated to learning more about the cultures of the world, even those parts that I have been taught are of the dark. “ He smiled warmly at Narak “ Yes, many in Celeborne hold strong prejudices against the undead, my lack of prejudices is the main reason I was asked to take this assignment.” Then looking around in wonder “ I find your architecture most intriguing and beautiful. Is this your design?”

Squaring his broad shoulders, still nervous about his recent advancement to Prince (thanks to the two fools who were Prince before him), Christof walked into the room, only approaching fahionably late for this meeting.

He ran a hand through his blonde hair while his crystal blue eyes quickly scanned the room. He walked over and picked up a glass of.. he sniffed the liquid quickly.

Ahhhh, excellent

He sipped before he took in the conversations through the room.

“I see you have arrived safely. I hope the trip was all right? Have the escorts arrived? Oh, and I apologize again for the restriction of weapons, but we had to be sure we could keep the peace here. I hope you understand.” Narack says the last part with a small smile.

“The host will arrive shortly, if you have any questions feel free to ask them.”.

“Yes, well it’s a cultural thing with the military elite. They don’t trust others enough to protect them yet they criticise them for not trust us not to go on a fire frenzy. Not that I can blame them, while I find the vampire society interesting I never thought I would actually be in a room surrounded by them as well as relying on them to protect me… which brings me to an important question. How will you be feeding your guests?” Kayla let the question sink in and watched him carefully for reactions*, part of the requirements for being in the diplomatic core is that you have to be observant… after all, Kayla couldn’t read minds, only faces and body language.


* Ahh yes, the real power of the diplomatic core… observation and the studying the language used. I can read your mind, nor can I scan your aura (I guarantee that looking at the Malkavian’s aura will always show it spiralling and faint). However I can watch for suggestions of lies, emotions and so on. If you are at least trying to stick with your humanity I will be able to read some of that habitual human body language, seeing as you would have to detach yourself from humanity to stop them completely. For example, the way someone’s eyes look when they are asked a question shows whether they are going to make something up (by using their imagination) or if they are going to tell the truth (by using their memory). Techniques like this are used by the magician Darren Brown, though he doesn’t call himself a magician as he explains how he used suggestion to make you answer the way he wants you to. With training it is possible to stop some of these little traits, but its like training yourself not to blink… it isn’t easy and in truth using body language to judge someone isn’t reliable anyways so it’s not something people counter… it’s used to get an idea of whether they may be lying or whatever. Either way, feel free to add and describe body language… but it’s not necessary.

“And I is good to meet you as well.” Roberts seemed a bit nervous. “Our policy on the undead has not yet jelled, so I am here to learn what I can about these people and report back to my government.”


"Very good. I'm guessing you didn't volunteer for this assignment. You seem a little... on edge shall we say." Raziel noticed the way Roberts' eyes kept flicking nervously around the room.


Narack moves up to Dantés ignoring the others completely.

"A pleasure to meet you mister Dantés. My name is Narack. I hope your trip here was convenient. The host will arrive shortly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

"Thankyou for your invitation and hospitality. I particularly agree with your choice of wine." Emperor Dantés took another sip of the dark red liquid.


He sighed, and quietly strode inside, waiting for the crowd's reaction to an undead vampire hunter.

Raziel immediately noticed the vampire hunter, he'd been persued by enough of them in the past. But there was something different about this one. He quickly caught the eye of his head of security at the door, signalling him to stand down. The irony of an undead hunter would make the night interesting, he was sure.


“Ah, well, Pleasure to meet you people! Now, seeing I’m not really dressed in a party uniform, let me change. Ow, never mind that. It’s not like you people really care do you?” John asked with a open face.
Narack sighed.

Raziel looked on in confused amusement as this dishelvelled, pyjama clad man entered the room. "My Lord, could this be our host?" whispered Faust with more than a hint of annoyance "He's not even dressed." Raziel allowed the smallest of smiles to briefly cross his face "We all have our excentricities." Raziel scanned the room. Humans, an undead hunter and a mad leader. This evening promised to be entertaining if nothing else.

“I see you have arrived safely. I hope the trip was all right? Have the escorts arrived? Oh, and I apologize again for the restriction of weapons, but we had to be sure we could keep the peace here. I hope you understand.” Narack says the last part with a small smile.

“The host will arrive shortly, if you have any questions feel free to ask them.”.

OOC: Just to check before I respond, is this to me?

Kain clenched his cloven fist.

"I...I am sorry for you freind. True there are many advantages to being a vampire, but such gifts are double edged. I know that side of the sword extremely well....And with no sire. You seek guidance? You have it, I am happy to help you in any way I can." Kain said warmly.

Trasel nods. "I would be honored to serve under you, but is that wise? I have heard that you are a 'fledgeling', although I know not what that means. You have expeirenced more as a vampire than I have, for certain. Since my turning, I have hunted beasts in the ashlands, not preying apon the 'cattle' of the Quarra. I have had no other contact with anyone human for a very long time, my only entertainment being the task of keeping curious explorers out of the home of the Clan. There are secrets there that no mortal should learn." Trasel seems lost in thought, remembering when he made the decision to set the cattle free.



"I am not suggesting that you serve under me, I am only offering my assistance. In the vampire world, vampires are called different names in order of thier age. The youngest are fledgling, then nenote, eldar then ancient. I am a fledgling still, I am only thirty! Still, age does not mean power, but it certainly does indicate it. Indeed, you are rightt. Some mortals with thier short life spans in some cases could not fully comprehend the magnitude of some secrets." Kain said.

OOC: Just to check before I respond, is this to me?

OOC:Nope, it's to the guy whose running the thread... however, Kayla is simply staying on the edge of conversations for the moment looking for someone to introduce herself to so she can learn more (depite that OOC I know almost everything I need to know about WoD vampires). If you need a description then I suggest you look around the thread for my IC posts. I’m a little surprised no one as has picked up on the Clanger body guard being a very strange little fellow…

Upon watching the comedic entrance of summits host, Kayla couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, senility was something that happens to everyone eventually and it seemed that even vampires suffer some effects from aging… It was something Kayla had always found interesting about vampirism; you get to live forever providing some zealot doesn’t kill you or some back stabbing rival. Iuthian think tanks had suggested while a vampires brain will not psychically deteriorate, mentality however, was a different story.

Firstly the vampire would have lived in a time period where the world was flat and the sun revolves around Earth… then society changes at an alarming pace, immortal mentality is often slow to react because there is so much time in a period that there is no need to be hasty, hasty vampires often die. Anyways, these fast changes often catch them off guard, leaving them behind so they have to create others simply to have someone explain the modern world to them.

Old immortals are also very hard to entertain, because they have done everything imaginable, life becomes boring and you have to find something to fall into, something to make the time go faster… it’s no wonder that some vampires become obsessed with family structures and “breeding”.

Anyways, the point they made was that old vampires aren’t always playing poker with a full duck of cards… there is something about living forever which isn’t good for most peoples mentality.

Lauren was about to say something, then stopped. She realized there were other humans here. It made her heart a little glad. She wasn't the only one living here. Suddenly, a man was standing in the door which lead to the rest of the palace. Not a man, Lauren reminded herself, not a man. The figure seemed a bit disheveled. And judging by his 'conversation' with the spokesman ((OOC: You forgot to welcome me :cry: :wink:)), a bit wrong in the brain. Lauren waited for more developments, trying to ignore the looks by the vampires that could only be described as... hungry.

OOC::: *deep sigh and curses the forums*.. I did, but my post got lost 3 times in a row... So I thought I did...

Anyhow, let me do that now.

IC::: Narack approaches Lauren "Ah, so I see East Romit's representative has arrived. I welcome you, my lady." Narack makes a small bow(OOC:: he can see Lauren is afraid, you're aura almost scream it out). "Please do not be afraid. I will protect your life with my unlife. Your safety is guaranteed by me. Also you have no reason to be afraid." He makes a small gesture with his hand, and suddenly in one of the corners a man suddenly appears. He also quite quickly disappears, not being noticed by any of the other guests. "See? There are more like him set throughout this room. They are here to keep the peace." Narack took her by her hand. "Trust me, you have no reason to be afraid." He gave her hand a little squeeze. "Now, I'm sure you want to know more about all this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."



“Oh yes, I am here of my own free will. I cannot lie and say that I volunteered for this duty; I must admit that this makes me more than a little nervous. I am however dedicated to learning more about the cultures of the world, even those parts that I have been taught are of the dark. “ He smiled warmly at Narak “ Yes, many in Celeborne hold strong prejudices against the undead, my lack of prejudices is the main reason I was asked to take this assignment.” Then looking around in wonder “ I find your architecture most intriguing and beautiful. Is this your design?”

OOC::: It's Narack, with a C =P.

IC::: "Ah, I'm happy to see that you like the idea, And yes. It is my design. Most of these resemble old myths out of the Vampire lore." Narack turned around and pointed at one of the paintings. "Do you see that beautiful city over there? That is Carhtage(SP?). Sadly enough you can see next to it, it's destruction." He turned to face Roberts again. "I'm happy to learn that not everything has these prejudices. I assure you that not all the vampires are bad. We are quite like humans. Some are tainted, while others are not. (OOC::: I'm not completely telling the truth here.. almost every vampire succumbs to the beast in the end. Unless they enter torpor... Or reach Gehenna.) Also, may I ask you why you are nervous? Your safety has been guaranteed by the Free Land of Lunoris."

“[i]I see you have arrived safely. I hope the trip was all right? Have the escorts arrived? Oh, and I apologize again for the restriction of weapons, but we had to be sure we could keep the peace here. I hope you understand.” Narack says the last part with a small smile.

“The host will arrive shortly, if you have any questions feel free to ask them.”.

“Yes, well it’s a cultural thing with the military elite. They don’t trust others enough to protect them yet they criticise them for not trust us not to go on a fire frenzy. Not that I can blame them, while I find the vampire society interesting I never thought I would actually be in a room surrounded by them as well as relying on them to protect me… which brings me to an important question. How will you be feeding your guests?” Kayla let the question sink in and watched him carefully for reactions*, part of the requirements for being in the diplomatic core is that you have to be observant… after all, Kayla couldn’t read minds, only faces and body language.


* Ahh yes, the real power of the diplomatic core… observation and the studying the language used. I can read your mind, nor can I scan your aura (I guarantee that looking at the Malkavian’s aura will always show it spiralling and faint). However I can watch for suggestions of lies, emotions and so on. If you are at least trying to stick with your humanity I will be able to read some of that habitual human body language, seeing as you would have to detach yourself from humanity to stop them completely. For example, the way someone’s eyes look when they are asked a question shows whether they are going to make something up (by using their imagination) or if they are going to tell the truth (by using their memory). Techniques like this are used by the magician Darren Brown, though he doesn’t call himself a magician as he explains how he used suggestion to make you answer the way he wants you to. With training it is possible to stop some of these little traits, but its like training yourself not to blink… it isn’t easy and in truth using body language to judge someone isn’t reliable anyways so it’s not something people counter… it’s used to get an idea of whether they may be lying or whatever. Either way, feel free to add and describe body language… but it’s not necessary.

OOC::: Narack is the spokesmen of my nation… He is very well trained in not showing body language. Also, true some disciplines this is can be improved.

“Well, it depends on the guests. We have quite a lot of different races and people walking around here. First off, we have wine for the normal guests. Also water is around here somewhere, I do not know which table to be precise. Further more, we have normal food for the living guests. A real buffet has been prepared for them. Now, as for the vampires. We have blood. People in this nation are paid for donating their blood, and most are happy doing so. So we have a great variety of blood available. Also, we have some people who enjoy being kissed(bitten, the vampires in my country cause ecstasy in their donors). They are currently enjoying them in a room nearby. Would one of the vampires want to feed from one them the just have to talk to one of the servants. This can be seen on the list next to the tables. Of course one exception is made. Receiving the kiss isn’t pleasant from all vampires. Some of them cause pain. They are not allowed to feed of donors in this nation. And we will not allow them doing so on the party. Is this what you needed to know?” (OOC::: He has told nothing but the truth.)

“Ow, one more thing. How do you find it being at this party? Some humans find it.. unnerving.”



"Thankyou for your invitation and hospitality. I particularly agree with your choice of wine." Emperor Dantés took another sip of the dark red liquid.


“Thank you, it is a local brew. Its quite known for its flavor. I give you a few bottles along if you wished?”

Raziel looked on in confused amusement as this dishelvelled, pyjama clad man entered the room. "My Lord, could this be our host?" whispered Faust with more than a hint of annoyance "He's not even dressed." Raziel allowed the smallest of smiles to briefly cross his face "We all have our excentricities." Raziel scanned the room. Humans, an undead hunter and a mad leader. This evening promised to be entertaining if nothing else.

OOC::: You can’t talk… I haven’t disactivated the silence yet.. It is still there… I should have mentioned that… Let me RP this correct.

IC::: John was patiently awaiting everyone’s answer. “Well, do you?” He asked again.
Narack looked at him. “Sir.. they can not speak yet.. Let me allow them too.” The sounds suddenly is turned on again. People can be heard moving a bit, and the few breathing guests also can be heard.

OOC::: Ok, gonna let you on to something. I dunno if all of you know what Multiple Personality Syndrom is… It means that more then one person resides within john. Currently you are seeing a nice bit deluted old man.. However, this changes.. rapidly. So don’t be surprised if his character suddenly changed.

“Oh, one more thing. How do you find it being at this party? Some humans find it... unnerving.” Narack asked.


“You’d think so wouldn’t you? But I have confidence that you will not let me die… not because I trust you completely, but because I know what happens to nations that kill Iuthians and needless to say I don’t think vampires can deflect cruise missiles.” Her voice would suggest she was saying this in jest and at the same time, being serious. Military analysis of Iuthia will reveal that its military employs more people then you have in your population… “Of course I’m anxious, if I wasn’t I wouldn’t be human. Fear keeps you alive, makes you think twice and get out in time. However, I am not about to act on it, I’m here for a reason and I’m confident that nothing will happen to me. Now, any questions, or shall I ask something?”

*Lady Anavrin smiled ever so slightly at John, and took a brave few steps closer to him*

it matters not to me how your dressed sir.

*she extends her pale hand towards the host, nodding her head in a slight bow sort of way*

Let me introduce myself... I am the Lady Anavrin of Eris Kallisti. Head Mistress for the School for the Undead and Kindred Studies.

*Her eyes flittered to Christof when he entered for a brief moment before letting them return to John once more.*

((OOC: *flashes pic for newcomers* hehe once again, feel free to make stuff up about meeting Anavrin in the past (about 200 years back) she's lost her memory, and has been in torpor for a while. She's a bit behind the times. Also she used to be a Sabbat member, but left them right before she went into torpor, and may have killed her sire, but isn't sure. That's about all I have on her past ICly))

OOC::: i'm having a terrible headache. So I'll respond when it has gone away.

Lauren was quite taken aback by Samuel's kiss. It was very different from the haughty vampire's reaction to her. "Oh, well, no, I'm not a Lady," said Lauren, "I'm just a Foreign Ministry lackey who got drafted into this." She continued in a lower tone of voice, "and I can't say I blame the Foreign Minister for not coming." Continuing at a normal tone of voice, she said, "Thank you for the compliment on our climate. It is pretty nice at this time of the year, but honestly you get used to it."

"Ah, my apologies. It is a nasty habit of mine, to assume that every beautiful woman I meet is a Lady. I can see how some humans may find it a little intimidating here, especially as many as still sceptical about the existence of vampires. I really must travel to Eastern Romit at some point - I love to travel. So, do you know anybody here, or have you been dropped in at the proverbial deep end?"

Kain clenched his cloven fist.

"I...I am sorry for you freind. True there are many advantages to being a vampire, but such gifts are double edged. I know that side of the sword extremely well....And with no sire. You seek guidance? You have it, I am happy to help you in any way I can." Kain said warmly.

Trasel nods. "I would be honored to serve under you, but is that wise? I have heard that you are a 'fledgeling', although I know not what that means. You have expeirenced more as a vampire than I have, for certain. Since my turning, I have hunted beasts in the ashlands, not preying apon the 'cattle' of the Quarra. I have had no other contact with anyone human for a very long time, my only entertainment being the task of keeping curious explorers out of the home of the Clan. There are secrets there that no mortal should learn." Trasel seems lost in thought, remembering when he made the decision to set the cattle free.



"I am not suggesting that you serve under me, I am only offering my assistance. In the vampire world, vampires are called different names in order of thier age. The youngest are fledgling, then nenote, eldar then ancient. I am a fledgling still, I am only thirty! Still, age does not mean power, but it certainly does indicate it. Indeed, you are rightt. Some mortals with thier short life spans in some cases could not fully comprehend the magnitude of some secrets." Kain said.

"Indeed. I seek what you call a 'sire', to train under, and to learn the full extent of my powers. Do you know of such a clan?" Trasel asks hopefully.

Seth paused for a moment. "There is a way to remove the curse," he said softly looking to Kain, inaudible to anyone else in the room. "I'm not quite sure..i've only been able to translate some of texts. It's written in angelic, that's why Qui had inflicted it on you rather than Daja...Daja could not speak the language."

((OOC: Hooray for auras! During this piece you should see my scaredness slip down some... :D))

Lauren was more than surprised at the vampire Narack's greeting. Although slightly unnerved by the invisble men around the walls, she was comforted some too. She could almost forget his fangs. She had many questions, but apparantly something else captured his attention. She could save them for a later time. She then turned some to face Samuel again. "Thank you for the complement," she said, coloring very slightly. "It is a bit... interesting... to be plunged into a room of vampires. I really don't know anyone here. Sometimes, I think East Romit's Foreign Minister has a tendency to be somewhat of a- coward."

((OOC: East romit could be called Eastern Romit, but it's not a province or a country. I still haven't created West Romit :). People from East Romit are East Romiters, and the adjective for something from East Romit is East Romitian. Ex: The East Romiter examined the East Romitian table. Our most well known export: cheese :lol:))

OOC::: It's Narack, with a C =P.

IC::: "Ah, I'm happy to see that you like the idea, And yes. It is my design. Most of these resemble old myths out of the Vampire lore." Narack turned around and pointed at one of the paintings. "Do you see that beautiful city over there? That is Carhtage(SP?). Sadly enough you can see next to it, it's destruction." He turned to face Roberts again. "I'm happy to learn that not everything has these prejudices. I assure you that not all the vampires are bad. We are quite like humans. Some are tainted, while others are not. (OOC::: I'm not completely telling the truth here.. almost every vampire succumbs to the beast in the end. Unless they enter torpor... Or reach Gehenna.) Also, may I ask you why you are nervous? Your safety has been guaranteed by the Free Land of Lunoris."

"Yes, Cathage" There is something a bit whistful in his eyes, almost like he remebers it.....Then smiling " Oh my nervousness comes from several things, and trust me when I say that I am not worried about my saftey, I have the fullest confidence in our host. My nervousness comes from the fact that this is my first diplomatic mission, and I am not accustomed to dealing with vampires, I am not sure what to expect. The storys back home would lead me to believe that there will be a virgin sacrifice at midnight."He says with a laugh.

after hearing the last comment, Vykos perks up.
"i was told that was put off later in the evening."
pause
breaks out in a hidiouse laghter not heard from this fiend in ages,
"that was what you people call a joke. you'll have to forgive my sense of humor, i have seen things in my life time that would greatly impare your conception of humor."

Roberts breaks out into full laughter.." Now that was something I was not told to expect...a sense of humor, oh my good man you are something of a cut-up."

"That was what you people call a joke. You'll have to forgive my sense of humour, I have seen things in my life time that would greatly impair your conception of humour." Radu Vykos stated. Kayla didn’t know his name but he was one of the taller vampires that were attending that day, his appearance could be compared with that of a male model, but like models he seemed to be represent what humanity thought was perfection… it didn’t seem natural. Kayla had been watching this one for some time, his dark red suit more then made up for his lack of body language… or breathing for a matter of fact. He wasn’t easy to work out, his movements looked human but seemed out of place.

“Could you perhaps give us an example?” Kayla asked, it was a simple question, but it would suffice.

OOC::: Typing up a story about your background.. Ideas are somewhat slow today =(

IC::: John looks at her with a honest face. "I thought you wouldn't object. So, let the party go on! Want to have a little dance?" He turn to the band. "Give me a waltz"

He takes Anavrin by her hand and leads her to the dance floor.
" Do I know you? You somehow seem familiar."

OOC::: It's Narack, with a C =P.

"Well, we tried finding a virgin. But we had difficulties tracing them.. Suddenly everyone was in bed with someone when we anounced we needed one....." Narack laughs. "Heh, these things somethimes really amuse me." His face turns serious again. "Did you know of Carthage?"

Seth paused for a moment. "There is a way to remove the curse," he said softly looking to Kain, inaudible to anyone else in the room. "I'm not quite sure..i've only been able to translate some of texts. It's written in angelic, that's why Qui had inflicted it on you rather than Daja...Daja could not speak the language."

"What? There is a way? I mean...that...that would be wonderful! But...would that not be defying Qui? I do not want him as an enemy..." Kain said hopefully thinking about all of this.

"Indeed. I seek what you call a 'sire', to train under, and to learn the full extent of my powers. Do you know of such a clan?" Trasel asks hopefully.

Kain wondered if he should....under the circumstances of what would happen.

"Well...those who taught me for a brief time before my own crime was commited was the Shentavo's. There is one here, Seth. Ask him...." Kain said quietly

OOC::: Not sure. Wasn't I your first reply, so you moved on after that? Or are you in multiple places at once, for RP's sake?

IC::: Lauren nodded. "Well, that's why I'm here. I'll start with perhaps the hardest question to describe first. What is it like to be a vampire? Your heart doesn't beat, you're not breathing, your skin is cold, and yet you can walk, talk, plan, think, and... well... kill. My second question is: what it is like when you are bitten by a vampire? And when you first become one?"

OOC::: Well, obviously, these are for East Romit, but some for me personally too :) Oh yeah... Lauren's a virgin... :roll: Won't be on any more tonight... I'm going trick-or-treating! :D You're never too young for free candy!

Samuel caught the eye of a nearby waiter, and took a glass of champagne from a tray. Returning to his conversation with Lauren, and now Narack, he turned to talk to Lauren.

"I don't feel it is my place to talk about such things, especially your second question, as I was not 'turned'. Nor was I born a vampire, either. I believe that it was my willpower alone that brought me back from the dead. Yes, I have died, and came back as a vampire. Now, I am purposeless. I used to be a hunter of vampires, of all the undead, but now I see through the eyes of my enemies...everything is different. It is hard to explain this with words, you have to feel it to understand..." Samuel fell silent - he couldn't seem to find the words.

OOC::: For RP's sake. I posted that somehwere I think.

Narack looked at her. "It is hard to get used to it.. You miss things.. Like your pulse.. But, you should ask one of the new vampires this question.. I have been one for too long now." His eyes seem to drift off a bit. "But what I can tell you about is when one is embraced, that is how we called being turned into a vampire. It delivers great pleasure. The kiss delivers great pleasure, it causes ecsatsy in humans. You drift away on a cloud of... pleasure. But the awakening is accomapnied with hunger. Such a hunger as you have never witnessed before.. But about the kiss, that is how we call being bitten. I could show you, if you wish. I assure you that it does not hurt. I will prove it, if you wish." Narack starts turning around.

OOC::: Now, I'm giving you a bit more then I was planning on, anywho. I'm aware of the fact that she thinks I want to show it by biting her. Now actually Narack was turning around to lead her to a room where some humans are waiting. He will kiss one there.

OOC::: eh, mate. I'm talking with her in private. I made a post somewhere that if it seemed like I was talking to multiple times at the same time, that it was not so.. It was or a little back in time, or a bit into the future. Like that =)

So your not there =)

Anywho, Yeah, lets sacrifice her =P

Or we could devirginize her :wink:

IC: Lauren turned uncertainly the way Narack did. She wondered where he was taking her. Maybe... to see another human get 'kissed'? She was caught between curiosity and revulsion. She took the steps and followed Narack. East Romit needed to know.

Narack guided her out of the ballroom. They entered a other part of the palace. Carpets were decorating the floor and walls. Where there were no carpets tiles were visible, only much smaller then those in the ballroom. He guided her into a room. Around 10 humans were waiting here. Some were talking, others were reading. There were 3 playing Monopiely.

Narack walked over to a woman who was reading. He talked to her, she layed her book down, The Princess Bride. She followed him. She looked around 1,75 meter long. She has dark brown hair, her body was slim, and quite pale. She has a open face, and her eyes were a deep green, like the green you would think of when you think of a forest.

"Hey Lauren, Narack here told me that you wanted to know how it was like to being kissed? Well, how can I explain?" She stayed silent for a second. "Have you ever had sex? Well, multiplie that by 20 times.. That's about the feeling you get. Let us show you." She looked at Narack.

"Are you sure Nicoline? I mean... I also took some of you last night..." Narack looked a bit worried. "Yeah, I'm sure. Just make sure you don't take to much." She bared her neck for him and closed her eyes.

Narack slowly moved forward, he opend his mouth a bit. His fangs were visible. He bit her. Nicoline quickly drew breath after which she gasped. After around 5 seconds Narack moved away his mouth. There was nothing visible in her neck. Nicoline shiverd.

"That was... good.” She opened her eyes and looked at Lauren. “Do you not want to try it? I assure it feels very good”

Seth smiled devilishly. "Qui can be defied...if you haven't noticed the change in him already...he hasn't backhanded Joshua in three months....I'm starting to worry."

Kain thought about it. "What....what would I need to do to get rid of this curse?"

"I- I---" Lauren started. Her common sense told her to say no. How could I know whether they're telling the truth, she wondered. She thought of the first lesson on Diplomacy in College. Never do anything that may be thought of as rude. Accept any request by your host except to betray your country. She felt she could trust Nicoline. If it really was true...

Lauren started again. "I will." She shut her eyes defiantly, and tilted her head back.

Narack walked over to a woman who was reading. He talked to her, she layed her book down, The Princess Bride. She followed him. She looked around 1,75 meter long. She has dark brown hair, her body was slim, and quite pale. She has a open face, and her eyes were a deep green, like the green you would think of when you think of a forest.

"Hey Lauren, Narack here told me that you wanted to know how it was like to being kissed? Well, how can I explain?" She stayed silent for a second. "Have you ever had sex? Well, multiplie that by 20 times.. That's about the feeling you get. Let us show you." She looked at Narack.

"Are you sure Nicoline? I mean... I also took some of you last night..." Narack looked a bit worried. "Yeah, I'm sure. Just make sure you don't take to much." She bared her neck for him and closed her eyes.

Narack slowly moved forward, he opend his mouth a bit. His fangs were visible. He bit her. Nicoline quickly drew breath after which she gasped. After around 5 seconds Narack moved away his mouth. There was nothing visible in her neck. Nicoline shiverd.

"That was... good.” She opened her eyes and looked at Lauren. “Do you not want to try it? I assure it feels very good”

"I- I---" Lauren started. Her common sense told her to say no. How could I know whether they're telling the truth, she wondered. She thought of the first lesson on Diplomacy in College. Never do anything that may be thought of as rude. Accept any request by your host except to betray your country. She felt she could trust Nicoline. If it really was true...

Lauren started again. "I will." She shut her eyes defiantly, and tilted her head back.

Narack looked amazed. "Are you sure about this? I do not want to do something you really don't feel comferable with." He looked Lauren straight in her eyes. "Please tell me honest. I understand if you don't want to."

OOC::: Wow.. that was a post for Lunoris. This is a puppet state I'm planning on rping with soon.

*Lady Anavrin smiled ever so slightly at John, and took a brave few steps closer to him*

it matters not to me how your dressed sir.

*she extends her pale hand towards the host, nodding her head in a slight bow sort of way*

Let me introduce myself... I am the Lady Anavrin of Eris Kallisti. Head Mistress for the School for the Undead and Kindred Studies.

*Her eyes flittered to Christof when he entered for a brief moment before letting them return to John once more.*John looks at her with a honest face. "I thought you wouldn't object. So, let the party go on! Want to have a little dance?" He turn to the band. "Give me a waltz"

He takes Anavrin by her hand and leads her to the dance floor.
" Do I know you? You somehow seem familiar."*Anavrin nods slowly*

It would be an honor to dance with you.

*As they head to the dance floor she tilts her head a bit. He did seem slightly familiar, but she was slowly getting used to semi-recognizing people*

I'm not sure.... I've... been alseep for a while. It has clouded my memories some

*that was a stretch on the truth, she couldn't remember anything in detail, only flashes of things*

(OOC I thought you wanted to talk to Kain privately? Remember?)

(OOC I thought you wanted to talk to Kain privately? Remember?)
OOC:: Eh.. Yes... So? That was in another chat. Or about trying to get a pro vampire champaign going. In the vampire teeth thingie.

Narack looked amazed. "Are you sure about this? I do not want to do something you really don't feel comferable with." He looked Lauren straight in her eyes. "Please tell me honest. I understand if you don't want to."

OOC::: Wow.. that was a post for Lunoris. This is a puppet state I'm planning on rping with soon.

IC::: Lauren put her chin back down and opened her eyes. Most of the room was staring at her now. One person stole a 500 hong kong dollar bill from anther person, without him noticing. Lauren looked into Narack's eyes, and said, "I do, Narack. I do.", she started, as if trying to convince herself, but she continued. "That's a part of my mission here. Find out as much as I can about vampires. What could be more illuminating? Or... interesting. Besides, how do you expect me to help establish an embassy here without being kissed?" Lauren thought of the look on Nicoline's face. She tilted her head back, and closed her eyes. "I trust you, Narack."

OOC::: Bet you forgot about the embassy, huh? ;) jk. If there's one thing you can say for Lauren... it's that she's brave. :) Now must find a negative side for her... *plots*

"Well, we tried finding a virgin. But we had difficulties tracing them.. Suddenly everyone was in bed with someone when we anounced we needed one....." Narack laughs. "Heh, these things somethimes really amuse me." His face turns serious again. "Did you know of Carthage?"

"Yes, I know of this." He seems to gather himself " There are many of us within Celeborne that know of this dream, and of its reality. The on called Kain is most ignorant when he refers to my kind as mortal, we do cast of our bodies from time to time, but there are many of us who have learned how to reclaim the memories of the lives we have lived, and where we have lived them. There were many reasons why I was choosen for this mission."

"we don't sacrafice virgens," Vykos saidafter a long pause, (due to forums being a bitch)
"we will feed on them, but it doesn't matter if they have had sex though. in my expirence with dark matters, virginity doesn't matter. the dark lord will accept any one." Vykos looks at Roberts. breaks out in uncomfortable laughter.
"i am jokeing again, friend. i think i shall leave the jokes and humor to the malkave, they are some how 'experts' in the field. "

Roberts turns to Vykos " No please do not stop, you have a most interesting sense of humor."

Vykos wandered around the room for a moment, admiring the decorations, thinking of how he could add his own unique style. but the words of Narack stuck in his mind. "oh well," he said to himself, "to each his own."

he looked over at Roberts again, who aside from Narack, had been the only one other than his pack who he talked to.
"so, Roberts, are you a religous man?" he said with a bit of a smile.

ooc: this is in relation to some thing horrable

Roberts smiles, " I think at one time or another I have been involved in every religion, currently however I have become more of a spirtualist that religious man. An interesting question however. Do you follow any faith ?"

Vykos smiles back, his smile actually extends past "normal" limits. (via fleshcraft)
"no, i do not follow a faith any more. the reason i asked was becouse you seem interested in my expirences. well as i consider my storys to have a humorous twist, most find them apauling, and blasphomus. i will tell you the tail of one of my childer. now if you laugh at this one then i know i am in good company. it was 1995, my pack was in mexico city researching a rumore about a fragment of the book of nod. the book of nod never held an interest with me, and still doesn't. are fammiliar with it? any ways, my pack and i raided a house so we could bunk down for the day. after killing the occupents, i grafted one, male, to the wall crucifiction style. as i was 'working' on his mate, my pack priest came down the staires. he held two small childern under his arms. one male and one female. he killed the female, and threw the male into a burning fire we prepared for a firedance."
ooc: fire dancing is a sabbat rite proformed to increase courage

"i watched as the fire melted his body. we leaped over the flames, each time the child screamed in agony. after we were done, he still screamed. so with a boost of courage, i reached in and pulled him out. as he was about to die, i embraced him. but not before sculpting his flesh so he had a spike for a left arm. i called him prometheis. wich means 'from fire'. little prometheis, hehehe, funny little thing. some times i could hear it crying from another room. when ever i would be attacked, i used to throw it at my attackers. i can imagin seeing a a seven foot tall being, hurling a mass of chard flesh with a spike for an arm at me as being rightfull. especially when they discoverd it was alive and attacking them."
Vykos breaks out in laughter again.
"ah, memories. funny, it's the 'little things' in unlife that give you a warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside." muttering allmost to himself... "i wish i knew what it was he put in me. little prankster. i wish i brought him for you to see, truly a work of art. now if you want to know more about art...."
Vykos smirks another uncomfortable smirk.

ooc: this was all taken from a story i played with a nosferatu with vissisitude in mexico city, i am not crazed and know how wrong it was to do that. also i understand that this sounds graphic, and am sory if i made some one uncomfortable. if you are made uncomfortable by this, please regaurd this as a person conversation between Vykos and Roberts. thank you

" I am not sure that I find it humorous, but I do find it interesting. Flshcrafting is not my strong suit, I am more of a mentalist. Now if I could have read his thoughts when you embraced him......Oh well opertunities lost. As to the book of Nod, I have some knowledge of it, but have no first hand information about it. Tell me more of this fleshcrafting that you do."

"i supose it works like your mental abilitys. i am able sculpt fleh and bone as if it were clay. i am like an artist in most ways. i can enhance beauty, or increase uglyness. i can create longated limbs, add bone spikes. the list goes on. if you wish i can demonstrate, either in a small scale on your self, or on this rat i have." Vykos's tone becomes more serious.
any psychic scan will tell you he means no harm.

" I would love to see a demonstration, you can of course use my form. "

OOC: Thanks for the scan, thats what I was intending.

ooc: any time, i know that my propsal would warent one lol

"great. now what i am going to to will not hurt. however, you will feel a strang sensation."
Vykos takes Roberts hand, and studies it for a moment. he takes your right hand and pulls on it. you feel your blood ripple through your arm. the skin on your arm itches, as bone spikes puncture the skin. (it should look like it's sarided) Vykos then takes his free hand and rubbs the underside of your arm. it forms into a four foot bone-blade. as he lets go, the rippiling effect slows to a stop. your arm should feel about thirty or so pounds heaveir. as with any weapon, you can tell that this addition to yuor body will kill any one, should you feel the need to.
"there, you see? harmless. and that is just the tip of the iceburg. i can do soo much more."
like a magician waving his arms, Vykos moves his arms again over your enhancement. your body has returned to normal.

ooc: not to "pull" anything, but sometimes fleshcraft has been known as being addictive. how ever as you are a mage, i am going to say that you will be ok.

"i hope that answers your question." as Vykos takes his rat and melds it's face to the back of Vykos's head, so he has literly eyes in the back of his head. he then returns the rat to normal. he smiles at a job well done.

OOC: I think the addiction could be interesting...

Roberts stares in amazment, he had heard that the Verbena witches could do things simular to this, but he had never seen it, much less experienced it. It was an amazing experience...Yhe things he could do with this.

"That is a most amazing gift that you have.Is there anyway to teach it ? Or is a gift of your blood ?"

"mmmmm, yes i could teach it to you. but you need some of my blood in your system. just enough to pass the vissisitude into your system. then it'll take some time to properly teach you technques. i am pleased that you liked it. there are others out there that have a better mastering of it than i. but not only can i do what i have done for you, but i can transform into blood, become a seven foot tall monster with wings, and soo much more. i will teach you if you wish. say.... is there a mrs. Roberts?"
Vykos smiles again, this time it's not uncomfortable, rather it is more friendly

ooc:yup, he can do that... the whole mrs. Roberts thing, if you know what i mean..... :)

"That would be most interesting, perhaps I could share some of what I know with you, perhaps a small demonstration ?"He also smiles " And there is no Mrs. Roberts, I am afraid that with my path being solitary is the best thing." He thinks for a moment " A seven foot tall monster, that must come in quite usefull."

Roberts concentrates for a moment and then Vykos can hear the thoughts of every person in the room ( Other than those with defenses, he dosn't want to be rude) . After a moment he is able to tell teh different thoughts apart and then he can identify who they belong to.

OOC: Roberts is an akashic master, using the WOD rules he has mastered Mental (or mind) and corespandance. He also has quite a few points in prime and time. What he did above is a mind/corospandance rote.

ooc: i had replied, but as stated many times, the forums are being a bitch, so i watched star trek, sorry, but the borg are way too kewl....


ic: "yes, i would like to engage in a learing endevour with you. as knowladge is power, and should be shared. i am sorry there is no Mrs. Roberts. on a related topic, you are not celabit are you? cuz if your not.....
any ways, i look forward to a long and lasting friendship between us, and prehaps between our nations."
Vykos shakes your hand.

Reaching out to take his hand " Oh no I am by no means celebate, just not the marrying kind. I look forward to our mutual learning experience."

" 'not the marrying kind'? well if you would like i can increase your, um, 'talent'. i believe thats the word used in modern times."
Vykos smiled again.

Roberts blushes a bit and laughs " I do enjoy your sense of humor, I think we are going to be very good friends. Now if you could give me wings that I could actually fly with, that would be great."

"reptilian or angle like? i love doing wings. i could even get it so they fold under your clothing. but unfortunatly i won't be able to do it here, as i need to take my time with them. it would take the better part of a night."
Vykos agian studies Roberts.
"yes, it can be done"

"I think reptilian" He can't belive that he is having this conversation. " I understand that what we are proposing would take much more time than we have here, and we still have meetings and such to attend I am sure, but I look forward to continueing our relationship even after this meeting."

"mmmmm, yes i could teach it to you. but you need some of my blood in your system. just enough to pass the vissisitude into your system. then it'll take some time to properly teach you technques. i am pleased that you liked it. there are others out there that have a better mastering of it than i. but not only can i do what i have done for you, but i can transform into blood, become a seven foot tall monster with wings, and soo much more. i will teach you if you wish. say.... is there a mrs. Roberts?"
Vykos smiles again, this time it's not uncomfortable, rather it is more friendly

ooc:yup, he can do that... the whole mrs. Roberts thing, if you know what i mean..... :)

OOC::: Your gonna let your self be ghouled? :shock: Or doesn't it work like that for a mage?

Narack looked amazed. "Are you sure about this? I do not want to do something you really don't feel comferable with." He looked Lauren straight in her eyes. "Please tell me honest. I understand if you don't want to."

OOC::: Wow.. that was a post for Lunoris. This is a puppet state I'm planning on rping with soon.

IC::: Lauren put her chin back down and opened her eyes. Most of the room was staring at her now. One person stole a 500 hong kong dollar bill from anther person, without him noticing.

Find out as much as I can about vampires. What could be more illuminating? Or... interesting. Besides, how do you expect me to help establish an embassy here without being kissed?" Lauren thought of the look on Nicoline's face. She tilted her head back, and closed her eyes. "I trust you, Narack."

OOC::: Bet you forgot about the embassy, huh? ;) jk. If there's one thing you can say for Lauren... it's that she's brave. :) Now must find a negative side for her... *plots*

OOC::: LOL!!! Stealing a 500 hong kong dollar bill......

IC::: "Okay. If this is what you wish." He moved his mouth towards Laurens neck. His mouth opens slightly. Lauren can feel a small sting when the fangs penetrate her skin.(I'll let you describe the effect of the kiss yourself.) After a short time(might seem ages to you) he stops and licks your neck. The wound closes and Narack takes a step back.

"And?"

OOC::: Just a note, Mortals can get addicted to this feeling. There is even a support group in our country =P

OOC::: Your gonna let your self be ghouled? :shock: Or doesn't it work like that for a mage?

OOC: he can handle it, trust me. some times bad choices are fun to roleplay :) Unlike some others I don't feel the need for my characters to be all powerful and unstoppable. I like a few flaws, like bad judgement.

OOC:: Heh, ok. Just wondering about that =)

OOC: Ghouling Mages - This is actually ok, seeing as there it is one of the "merits" in the book... however if they become a vampire they can't use magic anymore, this is due to the way that mages work...

Also, to blood bond you need to do it three times, not give three blood points. Personally I would say you couldn't do it in one night, but I haven't read the rules recently...

ooc: i was just going to give one tast, not enough to blood bond or anything. it's just that as far as i know, (or at least according to my story teller) vissisitude is considerd a dissease of blood. so the only way to "teach" it is to spread it. much like you can't teach aids, it needs to be blood given. (as a gay male, i don't encourage spreading aids, but it's the only example i can think of) since this is not WoD, and some of us are using different systems, i am going to say that Roberts is safe from any type of ghouling or the like. and that Vykos' blood won't effect him, except he will be able to use vissisitude, obviously.

Only vamps can bloodbound I thought..

Anywho, if you feed him just a tad of your blood his is ghouled I believe....

Samuel watched them walk away, and thought about joining them. They won't want me there. He decided against it.

He looked around the room looking for anybody that he recognised. Kain Irenicus? At last, somebody that he knew! He looked deep in conversation however, so thought it would be best not to intrude. Samuel took a few steps backward, and leant on the wall there, observing everything that was happening. He couldn't stop thinking about Lauren...what they could be doing to her. He could approach in mist form...too obvious. No, he would leave them be.

After a few moments of quiet observation, his curiosity got the better of him. He put his drink down, just in case, and closed his eyes. His mind flowed free from his body, and he immediately saw the auras of the people there. Slowly, he drifted towards the room that Lauren and Narack had gone in to, following Lauren's human aura. As he passed through the door and in to the room, he saw Narack bite Lauren on the neck!

His mind returned to his body in an instant...That treacherous, evil bastard! The vampire hunter inside Samuel was furious. Holy fury flowed through his body, and his aura became a swirling golden mass. He took massive strides towards the door that he had passed through spiritually seconds ago, and entered furiously.

All ration seemed to have left Samuel by the time he was at the room, and he considered getting a bottle of holy water out, just in case... No, no. I'll give him a chance to explain. He entered the room just as Narack pulled away from the kiss.

Holy fury flowed through his body, and his aura became a swirling golden mass. He took massive strides towards the door that he had passed through spiritually seconds ago, but was stopped by two vampire guards. He held his hand up, summoning his holy cross to his hand. It began glowing, and blue fire flowed through and around it. He forced it in front of the two guards, temporarily blinding them, and he carried on.

All ration seemed to have left Samuel by the time he was at the room, and he had replaced his cross with a bottle of holy water. He threw the door open, just as Narack pulled away from the kiss...

(OOC: Don't worry, I don't plan to actually use the holy water. And your guards will recover in a minute or so).

OOC::: God damn......... Mate... I have assamite wathcing you. You couldn't get that far without a fight. This is a hostile act. They are carrying crossbows. Also troughout the room are Tremere positioned. Trust me. You could not get this far.

EDIT::: For RP purpose.

OOC::: As I said. I secured everyone safety. I have some big countermeasures in place.

(OOC: Ok, edited it.)

(OOC: ok, ok, I'll edit it. I seriously don't want a fight.)

OOC::: Well, attacking guards is not the way to do it then. You would have 5 bolts in your body if you took one more step. Besides the magic being cooked up at the moment.

So, lets compromise. Let's say that you are not stopped by the gaurds. Ok?

(OOC: Ok, that works too. I'll edit it again.)

"And?"

OOC::: Just a note, Mortals can get addicted to this feeling. There is even a support group in our country =P

OOC::: Even in a serious RP I like to inject a little humor so it doesn't get too dark :D

IC::: "Okay. If this is what you wish." said Narack. Just a little bite, thought Lauren, just blood donation. Yes, that's it-

Her train of thought came to a screeching halt as Narack's fangs pierced her skin. She felt a small sting, then...

Nothing in her life prepared her for what happened next. It was her 10th birthday, her college graduation, her first bicycle ride, her first kiss... all rolled up into one. And multiplied tenfold. Twentyfold. A hundredfold. It seemed like an eternity.

However, a short time later, it stopped. Narack licked her wound, and it closed. For a few seconds, Lauren could only breathe, just thinking about it. She tried to make herself think again.

"So?" said Narack. Lauren tried to summon up some way to describe it. She failed, so she said simply "Wow."

OOC::: She's not quite hooked... ;) Despite the fact that that'd make a good weakness... it wouldn't be too good for RP, because I intend for her to a be a permanent ambassador to Lunoris :)

All ration seemed to have left Samuel by the time he was at the room, and he considered getting a bottle of holy water out, just in case... No, no. I'll give him a chance to explain. He entered the room just as Narack pulled away from the kiss.

OOC::: Forgot to respond to this :) I'll leave the gist of this for Narack...

IC::: Suddenly, Samuel barged through the door. He seemed to be in a fury. Lauren wondered what was going on. Maybe he had been insulted by another guest? His eyes were drilling right into Narack. Lauren realized Narack was standing pretty close to her, and took a step back.

Samuel's finger pointed at Narack, accusingly.

"Narack, I swear, if you've hurt her, I will cause you so much pain, death would be a release."

His eyes were blazing golden - it was obvious that he meant what he said.

(OOC: Samuel is a true believer, as are all the Belmonts. So holy objects such as crosses actually work against vampires when he uses them.)

IC::: "I did not hurt her. Ask her. She will tell you." Narack looked at Samuel amazed. Why did he think he hurted her?

OOC:: Notice that the whole room is filled with humans.

Samuel's finger pointed at Narack, accusingly.

"Narack, I swear, if you've hurt her, I will cause you so much pain, death would be a release."

Vykos perks up after hearing this. and edges closer to Narack, in case he needs to defend.

He takes Anavrin by her hand and leads her to the dance floor.
" Do I know you? You somehow seem familiar."*Anavrin nods slowly*

It would be an honor to dance with you.

Kain thought about it. "What....what would I need to do to get rid of this curse?"[/quote]

Seth paused for a long while, pacing back and forth for a moment. HE looked up to Kain, his black eyes sharp and cold. "Ravelyn's blood is one of the things. Instead of taking it from her, i beleive to take it from someone else. Two hold a chain around their neck with an emblem on it. It is a heart with a sword through it and two wings. This heart is a vile, containing her blood. One of the people that has this is Qui, and frankly I don't want to go near him right now. The second is Genesis..."

*that was a stretch on the truth, she couldn't remember anything in detail, only flashes of things*((OOC: *comes back from being offline for a day and a haf* don't mean to badger... but did you respond to this and I just didn't see it?))

OOC::: *cough* :oops: Nope.....

IC::: John starts throwing her around the dance floor.

"Hmm, I believe I've seen you around here before. Before the changes that is."

He looks lost in thought for a few seconds. Then his face brightens.

"But it's party time now! Lets keep dancing!"

He pulls aravin close.

OOC::: From now on, regard Savoiana as Lunoris. Unless otherwise stated..
*Stabs himself*

IC::: "I did not hurt her. Ask her. She will tell you." Narack looked at Samuel amazed. Why did he think he hurted her?

OOC:: Notice that the whole room is filled with humans.

Samuel realised that Narack wasn't lying...he felt ashamed of himself. How could he think such a thing of their host?

"I..I am sorry. When you have seen such things as I have, it is difficult to restrain yourself. I was merely concerned for the lady's safety..."

His arm had lowered, and his eyes had dropped downwards, towards the floor.

Kain went to a table and picked up a glass of blood, and sipped at it, excersing more self control than last time.

His arm had lowered, and his eyes had dropped downwards, towards the floor.

"I understand. You were a vampire hunter once if I am not mistaken? Well, anyway. It is very knightly of you to protect a woman like that. Just don't jump to conclusions." He turned to Lauren.

"And, not as terrible as many say was it. Do you now understand why people in our country do not mind being kissed?"

"A crest of Seraphim...it can be found in the Rogue nation of Martian Resi...very difficult to get past security..."

Trasel seats himself, slightly frustrated that he is unable to find 'Seth'. He looks at Kain, then sees him engaged in a conversation with an unfamiliar figure. Trasel begins to make his way over towards them. Perhaps this was 'Seth'...

*double post*

*Anavrin nods slowly*

It would be an honor to dance with you.

*Stabs himself*OOC: its kewl. no biggie

IC:*Anavrin does her best to keep up with John as they dance*

Changes? What changes would those be?

*She looks at him curiously as he pulls her close*

Of course.... no need to dwell on the past I guess.

*damn... was she to get no answers this night?*

"Well, it's true," said Lauren, "but I thank you for your sentiment. It's... nice to know someone like you."

She turned towards Narack. "It wasn't terrible at all," said Lauren, "I... enjoyed it." After a pause, she said "Thank you. I understand now." She smiled sheepishly.

OOC::: Earlier I didn't realise Samuel is a vampire. Bah. Let's just say that Lauren was so swept off her feet that she didn't notice :D Lauren is getting more trusting and definatly less nervous. She trusts Samuel & Narack, and of course all the humans :) *enjoys this RP* Right now I'm toying with the idea of creating a vamp puppet state.

ooc: this is a late post, but i retract my last comment. i would also like to add that i am an idiot, sorry for the confusion

IC::: "Changes? Ow.. Eh, well, most of this land was ruled by someone else first. We kind of took over"

John switched to a tango.

Perhaps this was 'Seth'...[/i]

Seth turned toward the approaching person, scanning him with his deep black eyes which showed a hint of red. He turns toward Kain for a moment, yet keeps the approaching one's location acknowledged.

I will take care of myself, thanks.

IC::: "Changes? Ow.. Eh, well, most of this land was ruled by someone else first. We kind of took over"

John switched to a tango.*Anavrin was compleatly puzzled by the change of dance, but followed along.*

oh really? Sounds interesting. Perhaps we could disscuss it sometime.

Trasel reguards Kain with his seemingly unseeing eyes, stopping briefly to confirm his choice of personage.

IC::: "I thought you would. Now, shall we go back to the party?" He turns towards Nicoline. "Thank you." Narack makes a small bow.

"An excellent idea, Narack."

Inside, Samuel felt deeply ashamed. But Narack's words floated through his mind...You were a vampire hunter once... But, wasn't he still? That was what being a Belmont was. They had extraordinary power, able to rival vampires themselves, but their purpose had always been to oppose vampirism. Now, he felt almost trapped. A vampiric Belmont. It wasn't right. It wasn't right.

OOC: ignor this.

Kayla figureding that pretty much everyone is deeply involved in conversation that was of no interest to her, decides to call over her Clanger body guard and pulls out a small pull whistle.

[Whistling noises, changing pitch and volume]

The Clanger looks up at her for a moment (he's only 4 foot tall) and then offers his hand to her, which she excepted graciously. Putting the whistle away again, Kayla begun to dance with the little pink creature.

Considering that Clangers where short and plump... Lizo was making quite a good job of it as they danced the tango, maybe not the best tune to dance with your body gaurd too, but Kayla enjoyed herself none the less.

Afterall, what was she going to learn about vampires if they all walked off into little rooms to have private talks?

IC::: Lauren nodded. "Of course." She said to Nicoline, "Thank you, too. You... persuaded me to say yes." With that she stepped out of the room, more bravely then she had come in. Maybe this diplomatic mission wasn't going to be so bad as she thought. Maybe she could find a newer vampire to learn more from.

Dimvilya sees Lauren exiting the room and decides to go and talk to her

OOC::: God what a hectic week......... Sorry for not replying, but we will continue! Just.. I'm really busy! :(

"A crest of Seraphim...it can be found in the Rogue nation of Martian Resi...very difficult to get past security..."

Martian Resi? What the....Kain relised this was going to be very difficult. Very difficult indeed.

"I see...that will be something I might try in the future, but not now. I have other things which I must finish before I can consentrate upon myself." Kain replied.

And then me got sick.. I'll let people know when it will continue.. I'm very sorry.... :(

And then me got sick.. I'll let people know when it will continue.. I'm very sorry.... :(

ooc: feeling better yet? i have been at war with... well, every thing and haven't had time to devote full attention to this thread. but i hope it lives on. and you get better dude :D
