Run Like Hell
This is the night of the hunter
Deliriously pull the trigger, fire
You are my escape artist
Brujah | Bright Aura


“Sounds like I’ll like him,” there was a touch of a smirk. She could get a feel for how things would work out after meeting him. If he could hold things down during the daytime, that was valuable and important. Important enough not to mess around and keep things professional.

“I don’t have much territory to speak of yet. I snagged an old house around Seminole Heights but it’s in sore need of remodeling. Trying to keep that on the discreet side of things but…the hours.”

It was hard to manage the projects while being indisposed during the daytime. The house was a work in progress and for right now the only daylight free place was a larger closet. She was not waking up her most well-rested self these days.

“Annoyances aside, if you don’t mind sharing some supper I’d be much obliged,” lack of territory meant fewer feeding options. Besides, his hedonistic leanings tended to make things a little more indulgent and interesting. It wasn’t much different than their previous arrangement anyhow.

Back at the focus of her mysterious orphan, she let out a chuckle. He should be concerned, he clearly wasn’t. He wanted to know more, as did she but she was really unsure of how to go about things formally. Maybe an informal approach would be the more interesting option anyhow. Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. It wouldn’t be completely unexpected of her clan.

“Then I can’t wait to share the details later, there’s a lot of potential. Oh c’mon, I wouldn’t mind a few babies, they’re adorable with their posturing and acting like they have something to prove. It’s almost horrifying to think that we were like that once too. Maybe worse.”

Geoffrey Wodeward


To all things housed in her silence

Nature offers a violence





He took a moment to turn that over. He'd never thought of the possibility, having a legacy like that. Henry having a legacy like that. Over the long centuries, he'd just lost track of the individuals, drifting away into the world of the night.

The place, however, still held some lingering fondness. That bit of forest that still survived to this night.

"Just as you could be his." He remembered the possibility. Yurik had always sworn that his child had died with his mortal wife, but there was always a possibility that he could have been somehow wrong. Or something else. They spoke of so many things, shared so much and yet there was probably plenty left unsaid.

"We don't reveal ourselves to humans." He countered as he put a hand to the ground to get to his feet. "It's become one of our strictest laws. We've seen what happens when they grow too keen of our nature." A monster that noone believed in and noone knew to look for was a far more succesful predator.

He dusted snow off his cloak, picking his way into the ruined and burned out building. As if emphasizing that previous point: what happens when humans grew too keen.

"Providence." He repeated, a note of incredulity in his tone. The notion of divine Providence wasnt unfamiliar to him, but the idea of it struck him sharply. He paused again, looking down at his feet.

"I do believe in it." He answered, warily. "Though what god would put their hand to me, I could not say.I am far from good, and by no means righteous."

He turned his head over his shoulder to look at Yorick quietly.

"Either way. It'd be nice to read his letters."

Yorick Tsipras
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I do not die

Euthanatos | Notoriety 2 | Medium

He was silent, and it seemed clear that he was about to talk about something, but then decided not to. Being cut off from family and the people he knew was something he had gone through too, though it hadn’t been by choice. He’d spent all of age 12 in a coma, and woke up having lost literally everything he’d ever known.

When he did speak again, it was to answer Geoffrey’s speculation. “Important people…” He turned that phrase over in his mouth. “Ahh. I understand.” He shook his head. “That doesn’t matter. It isn’t an issue of history books or civic records. I’ve mentioned the concept of identity a few times - you share a part of your identity with every other person who shares your blood. Your brother, any nieces and nephews, their children, their grandchildren, all the way into the modern age. If the bloodline continued uninterrupted, and you do have descendants still alive today, finding them might use the same kind of magic I’m going to try and use to find your friend.” 

It wasn’t an offer to do that. But it was an implication.

Yorick squinted when Geoff told him about finding something. It seemed like an incredible coincidence. So incredible it couldn’t be accounted for by random chance. An extraordinary turn, just when it was needed.

“Providence…hmm.” Sometimes the Fates weren’t mean girls. “I actually believe in providence. I believe that the gods intervene to make their will manifest. That they intervene for desperate needs, or for good and righteous causes.”

He examined the burned out ruins, then looked back to Geoffrey. “Do you?” The tone of his voice suggested that the question wasn’t rhetorical.

It wasn’t often that Faith’s laughter was full of joy. It must have been the way Clara detailed the act of violence in such a way that it was both amusing and felt like it was the highest form of respect they could have between each other. It carried a little weight now, only in the realm of understanding that it meant they were ‘okay’ for the moment. In these circles, it was about as positive of a start one could have.

The joy was brief when that old familiar name was brought up. She hadn’t heard it in some time, hadn’t used it in longer. It certainly wasn’t the name she had introduced herself as but she wasn’t too concerned about it raising any suspicion. Though it was going to be an interesting conversation if Abel ever thought to bring it up later, and he would, he couldn’t resist poking at a mystery. Clara wasn’t the only one playing a little game of ‘pretend strangers’.

“Oh it’s been a while since I’ve heard that name. Been going by Faith these days. We can definitely meet up later, my place isn’t anything to look at but my partner has a really nice establishment. It’s no saloon but he’s welcoming to friendly visi….”

Nothing more needed to be said once that finger came up and Faith’s body turned slightly to get a visual of what Clara was so focused on. There was plenty of information dropped in what little was said, enough to say she wasn’t alone and was generally well settled. Nothing threatening or posturing at all.

A small wave was given to Abel before he sauntered off.The Brujah’s focus was turning back to the main conversation, she had wanted to listen along but there was a distraction. As far as she could gather she was thinking there was going to be a friendly little showdown between Gangrel. That sounded interesting and fascinating all at once. A good fair fight was a worthy spectacle but this was a little more on the feral end of things. A good way to place some friendly wagers, get to know some of the others. Opportunities a plenty, or an opportunity for a blood bath.

"Not necessarily." He pointed out, thoughtfully. "Still a bit young. Not grown to your full strength."  he looked back; for a moment, he could have been talking to either of them. Yorick or the shadow that followed them.

He looked back, catching the shadow of a face he hadn't seen in centuries. He stared back, one hand leaving the reins like he could reach back for him.
"I tried. For a time." To watch over him, that younger brother it was clear he cared for, was protective of. "It's better to leave your life behind with the sun, though. For them. For you. These nights it's all but expected." He paused again, facing forward. "But he had a good life. A full one." Another pause; the question about descendants hanging like one he hadn't thought of too deeply before.

"I suppose it's possible, but I'm not sure how you'd find out. We weren't important people." They weren't kings or lords or anything so high, that was. Nothing a historian would be so interested to capture for posterity.

He left the horse at the edge of the burned out village, dismounting to amble through it on foot.

"I think I've found something." He sounded as surprised as anything by the coincidence, the luck. "In the basement of his burned out shop, he left a box of things. His botanica. Some letters. It wound up at auction in the 1920s, and by providence, one of my kind acquired it. Someone I know."

He stopped in front of the remnants of a burned out building that felt familiar to him and dropped to his knees in the snow. Head bowed a moment in contemplation.

"I'll get it. I'll go bargain with him for it."

Rudolph Longstaff aka Abel Beaumarchais
those boon times went bust
my feet of clay, they dried to dust
the red isn't the red we painted
its just rust


Toreador Ancilla | Blush of Health | Enchanting Voice | Deceptive Aura

Abel shrugged, projecting nonchalance. Sergine had asked questions, he’d done the courtesy of answering them, and that was that. Whether the questions were a product of genuine curiosity or just steely fact-finding seemed clear to him.

“Mmm. Yes,” he said to the Brujah, pausing momentarily. “As long as you have some,” he encouraged, raising his tiny bottle in a little salute and tossing back the last drops. “Raw-dogging reality, as the kids say, is a tough way to spend eternity. Asceticism...BLEH,” he concluded, visibly shuddering and making a small expression of disgust. “Why not just walk into the sun at that point.”

He stepped back then, hands casually smoothing out the long black wool trench coat. “Well.” The single word was like a bullet, but Abel offered a small smile filled with theatrical warmth, flicking his brilliant green gaze among the gathered Kindred. “It’s been a stimulating evening, but I believe I’ve seen everything of value from this particular exhibition. Besides,” he added, patting the now-empty breast pocket of his coat. “I appear to be out of refreshments.”

The smile widened to a grin. “Geoffrey. You have my number. When the two of you,” he said, idly gesturing between the Gangrel, “have figured out where and when you’re going to beat each other up, do let me know. I’d hate to miss out on anything juicy. Besides, if I’m not there, who’s going to regale the rest of the community with a bardic accounting of the spectacle? I mean...honestly.”

With that, he turned and headed off in an unhurried pace, his booted footsteps lightly thumping against the granite floor.

This little war of mine.
Dexterity 4 : Lightning Reflexes| Strength 4 : Viscous| New Arrival| Rep


Abel confirms Sergine's assumptions, for all its history, for all that it could claim to be in the end the Toreador's mixture was blood, and for their part this seemed to settle something in the Brujah's mind. A simple shake of their head is offered as Sergine met Abel's gaze.

"Perhaps, my vices however, do not include alcohol." These words were rather final, said as if the Toreador was more likely to get the Brujah to greet the sun with open arms rather than drink booze, even if that booze was tolerable to their kind.

Instead, she shifts his attention towards the inquiry about a place to hold the bout the two gangrel were clearly angling to set up, a situation that Sergine themselves had little interest in quashing. She tilts her head a tiny bit, as if considering the possibility before shaking their head.

"To busy, to small. I know a yard down by the harbour that would be perfect."
