(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/ladyjallyn/moon1a.gif)This thread is based of the world of the Anita Blake Books.(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/ladyjallyn/moon1a.gif)

The setting is in Seattle USA. The time is now.

Vampires and lycanthropes are real.  Everybody knows that.  Magic is real.  Everybody knows that too and accepts it.  What they don't always accept is that vampires and lycanthropes have won a landmark case in the US Supreme Court and have full rights as citizens.  It is now a crime to kill one in the USA and Canada.  Other parts of the world still have bounties on them.

People can make a living using magic.  There are specialists called Animators, who call the dead from their graves.  The police routinely consult psychics and the Catholic church has its own covens of witches.  It's a great time to be alive and a better time to be undead.  Want to live forever?  The Church of Eternal Life will make you a vampire.  For a donation, of course.

It's not all hugs and puppies for lycanthropes, however.  They are shunned, feared and discriminated against.  Lycanthropy is contagious.  Vampires eat people.  Not everyone is willing to have them as neighbors, coworkers or friends.  Life can be tough if you get furry during the full moon or have a permanent set of fangs.  And being a vampire doesn't guarantee you a night job.

Hey life has its problems whether you're alive, undead or fuzzy.  That is what makes it all so interesting.

Plot Synopsis for the previous Chapter.....

The SWAT raid Father Domenic Sozio arranged proves fruitless, since the house is entirely empty.  The SWAT commander is less than impressed and leaves Domenic in charge of the site.  He asks Suki and Jack for advice as to how to proceed.

Brandy meets with Nigel Salvatore and takes a job as his personal escort, both because of the money offered and because it will annoy Morvan.  Then she heads for La Cique to pick up Cynara who has also been driven outside by the fire alarm.  They then traveled to the Lucid Dreams Men's club, where Brandy resigns her position as headliner.  Cynara, in need of a job, applies for the position and sets an appointment to meet the manager Marty the next day for her interview.

Waylon meets with Seimen at the Seattle Tacoma Airport and picks him up so that he can meet with Nigel.  On the way, Waylon brings up Seimen's ability to summon and control wolves.  Seimen's answer is rather vague and Waylon warns him that honesty is the best policy.

Dorian, revealed to be a firestarter, triggers the fire alarm at La Cirque as he is leaving, forcing Sailor and Tyler to leave the club.  After some serious flirtation and a trip into rat territory, they wisely retreat.  Sailor reveals to Tyler that she is his sire.

Having failed in his attempt to attract the attention of Sailor the vampire, Dorian sets his sights on Lisette the animator, who is trying to deal with a drunken friend at the Velvet Circle.  Dorian helps her get him to a cab and wonders aloud whether they will be charged an additional cover charge to get back inside.

Lillia and Tony have lunch at McDonalds with Nick, Don, Mike, Ann and Logan.  They discuss the future of the wererats in Seattle and their rodere in particular.  Ann warns Lillia that Nick is off limits.  Nick orders Ann  to teach Tony how to fight.

As they leave, they discover that the werewolves are meeting in the park again.  They cross the park cautiously trying to avoid a fight but willing to fight if they had to.  They reach the nearest entrance to the underground rodere lair, which is in the laundry room of an apartment building.

The werewolf council meets Troy, an emissary from California in the same park where the met Maya and the other shapeshifters.  Troy presents a fresh kill as her gift to Lobo.  After some good natured joking, the werewolves head for their game preserve to share the kill.  Troy rides with Tom and learns about the current state of politics within Seattle and within the Pack.

Once at the preserve, Shale smells a buck that she wants to hunt.  Lobo gives her permission and suggests Ryan, Troy and Andrew go along, since he has noticed Troy's attraction to Andrew.  Ryan objects to Lobo's matchmaking, suggesting it undermines his authority.  Lobo agrees and Tom explains more of the pack social structure to Troy, telling her that approximately one third of the pack if female so the competition for the males tends to get violent.

In Jakarta, the hunter decides to accompany Elisbeta to Seattle.  He reveals that his name is Miguel San Miguel and agrees to join her in her hotel for the evening.

Huey the journalist meets Marshal in a Starbucks, where they exchange pleasantries.  Afterwards Huey goes home to sleep but not until after Googling Marshal, while Marshall the werewolf opens up the abandoned building where the Tooth and Claw fight club secretly meets.  Ian, a werehyena squares off against Lee, a vampire looking for a connection.  Ian wins but only because Lee walks out of the fight after realizing Ian is not looking for the same thing.  Ian, who has had his face torn open, is still willing to fight but Marshall talks him into taking a break to heal.

Altair and Keid, formerly conjoined white tiger lycanthrope twins arrive is Seattle, intending to attend the university.  While looking for some entertainment, they meet Jules Xavier Chalice who invites them to the Manhattan Club to discuss a proposition.  He seems to be in no hurry to go into details and is more than willing to let the twin set the pace of the conversation.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:13 am - the Manhattan Club - Keid and Altair

"There are many ways we've found the world isn't ready for us," Keid said. Her smile was still sharp, and Altair had fallen back into line with her twin. They both watched the exchange between Chalice and the steward. Their eyes tracked him, though what they were thinking was hidden behind remarkably impassive grey eyes. "The penguin was only one of the more quickly and readily apparent. And my sister has been barred from experimental bartending ever since."

It didn't seem like the two of them could always keep their expressions identical. It was more effort than it was usually worth, and Altair's gregarious nature was difficult to hide. "This is a new city, though. All sorts of things are different now."

July 8th - 11:45 am - Pack Preserve - Troy

"Ha! Ha! Yeah. . .not one for subtlety, now am I?" She tried to tear her lustful gaze away from Andrew but her beast wouldn't allow her, "I'm sorry Andrew, you must tire of every other weregal salivating rather uncontrollably on you, the drool stains must be a nightmare to get out. But, just so you know, I have a soft spot for the works of Charles Baudelaire, Matsuo Basho's Haiku, the rants of Maggie Estep and of course anything Dr Seuss ever shook a stick at. I also have an extensive collection of Asian cinema and quirky no-budget indie movies on DVD and I greatly enjoy a home cooked meal. . . .and I sleep through pretty much everything and get so hot in the night I end up kicking off the covers."

Troy's broad smile had an infectious quality to it that made it difficult not to find yourself with the exact same dopey grin draped around your features. "But in all seriousness, don't let the mouth fool you, if I truly want something I  will fight for it until either whatever is in my way is a torn and bloody mess or I'm completely incapacitated."

She grimaced in slight embarrassment, "Anywaaaaaay. . .I would love to hunt, with anyone that would like to accompany me. The journey was a long one and not only could I do with the meal, the exercise would be a blessed relief."

Monday, July 8th 11:45 am- The Rodere- Lillia

As they came through the hidden entrance to the Rodere, Lillia paused to take in the familiar yet frightening smell.  This was home, or was from now on, but she had to shoulder past the memories that threatened from her previous stay.  She shivered, her beast fluttering along her skin.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:14 am - the Manhattan Club - Jules Xavier Chalice

"Indeed.  There are a number of reasons why this city isn't ready for you,"  Chalice said.  "There are so few of your kind here and even fewer with your obvious connection."  He puffed on the cigar for a moment, inspected the ash critically, then set it down.  "Tell me, what brings you to Seattle?"

July 8th - 11:45 am - Pack Preserve - Andrew

"My personal favourites include the opening of Thomas Gray's Elgy in a Country Churchyard and my all time favourite is Browning's Soliloquy of a Spanish Cloister,"  Andrew replied.  "I'll trade deer for lamb any day.  This way I get to feel the kill."  He looked at Lobo, the partially lifted his shirt.  "With your permission?"

Lobo nodded.  "Just be home before dark, kids and don't forget to practice safe sex."

"How many times do you have to do it before it's not practice anymore?"  Ryan asked.

"Always at least once more,"  Tom replied.  "Unless you're a porn star."

Monday, July 8th 11:46 am- The Rodere - Tony

"Are you alright?" the new were-rat asked.

"She isn't your concern at the moment,"  Nick said. 

"The hell she isn't,"  Tony growled. 

Logan, the tall black bodyguard to the Rat King stepped forward.  "Are you challenging the authority of the King?"  he asked softly.  Every were-rat in the cavernous room stopped moving.  If Tony was challenging the King, then it meant a fight.

July 8th - 11:47 am - Pack Preserve - Troy

Troy's breath caught in the back of her throat as Andrew teasingly flashed his torso, she brought a hand up to cover her broad face and shook her head grimacing inwardly.

Down girl, like you've never seen a muscular, lithe, particularly well defined stomach of an incredibly hot and mate worthy guy. . . .Jeese, Troy, can anyone one say desperate and easy?

Her beast had followed suit and was practically displaying, ass held high in the air. Troy took a deep breath and collected herself, finding her voice still came out unwavering, "Does anyone mind if I go and hide in that copse of tress over there? Call me a prude but I find it kind of hard to get naked and furry in front of strangers on the first day of meeting."

Monday July 8th, 11:59 p.m.  - -  The Royal Hotel  Jakarta  - -  Elisabeta

Long dormant feelings were starting to stir deep within Elisabeta's soul, so to speak.  Small moans and groans of pleasure escaped her lips as Miguel pulled her close.  She allowed her hands to roam over his sculptured body, not bothering to give them any specific direction to take.  One hand managed to find its way under his shirt and long fingernails raked down his back, leaving faint marks on the bare flesh.

Post by: Goosekat on

Monday July 8th, 11:48 a.m.  - -  Pack Preserve  - -  Shale

Shale could tell that she was going to like this girl Troy already.  She was out spoken but friendly, something that Shale admired in others.  She grinned at the way the other woman responded to Andrew.  It looked like their might just be a match up in their futures.  But that was for them to decide.  Right now all she wanted to do was get out and hunt.  Unclasping the locket, she put it in her pants pocket for safe keeping.  "Go ahead and make the change where ever you are most comfortable.  Just because you don't feel comfortable doing around us yet doesn't make you a prude, it makes you human.  We'll wait for you at the edge of the woods."  Shale slipped of the sneakers and placed her socks in them, something held over from her youth.  The rest of her clothes quickly followed, being dropped in a pile on the ground.  She took a half dozen steps away and let her beast flow over and through her.  The change for her was swift and in moments she stood their shaking her fur and sniffing the air.  Her soft black fur was streaked with brown and rust, the highlights playing in the sunlight.  Shale looked at Ryan and the others, her sea green eyes sparkling with mischief.  She lopped to the edge of the forest and waited for the others so that the hunt could begin, her tail switching back in for with ill concealed impatience and anticipation.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:16 am - the Manhattan Club - Keid and Altair

Though they hadn't personally heard of any of them, neither of the sisters knew of other identical twins who were both infected with any strain of lycanthropy. There were so few tigers that, when it occurred to either of them to think about it, they thought it was possibly they were the only twin white tigers. They did know for a fact that they were the only living conjoined twins who had been infected. Both of them were decent at passing for human, though, when they thought about it. Altair was better at it than Keid, if only because she seemed less dangerous in some intangible way.

Between them, they wondered if they'd let on about what they were in some way. Chalice wasn't another lycanthrope, and he wasn't a vampire. That didn't mean he didn't have some sort of power, some way of sensing or telling what they were. There seemed to be no reason to fess up to anything that hadn't been plainly said, though, so Keid took the lead. "We were both accepted to the university. We're starting classes in the fall."

Altair nodded. "Neither of us really picked it above anywhere else." She smiled, warm and happy. "Seattle picked us. We just got here today, and we went out to see what was fun around town."

"Then," Keid continued for her, hedging the topic of business for the first time, "we met you, with a most intriguing proposition, and here we are."

July 8th - 11:49 am - Pack Preserve - Troy


The deep dimple that heralded a true smile burrowed deeply in Troy's left cheek, "Thanks, just wanted to make sure. Didn't want to offend on the off chance I was surrounded by rabidly proud nudists. Laugh all you want, but there is a pack in L.A., yeah, I know, huge surprise, right? They insist on the whole nudity together, in any form. . .it creeped me out. Have you ever noticed that the people who always want to get naked are the people that you really don't want to see naked?"

Her smiled deepened, "I'm doing it again, aren't I? Letting the mouth run away with itself", her grin cracked to reveal a slight gap between her two front teeth, she pointed towards the copse, "I'll just, you know, go and do the business."

She trotted off towards the clutch of trees, thumbs tucked under her backpack straps. Once safely hidden amongst the evergreens, she slowly undressed, taking great care to meticulously fold and place each item of clothing into the already over stuffed backpack. She stood in the relative chill of the shade and allowed her beast to ripple to the surface, her body waxed and warped, bones lengthened and tendons elongated. She dropped to all fours in the final stages of the transformation as her flesh seemed to turn inside out, revealing her glorious, thick pelt.  Her broad paws side stepped from the glistening liquids of her change and she stretched luxuriously, forepaws reaching out in front of her as her back legs crouched. She shook her fur out, from nose to tail tip and the telltale Dwyer smile erupted across her black lips. She grabbed the left strap of the backpack in her jaws, lifting the bag clean off the ground.

The timber wolf emerging from the copse was a stunning specimen, tall pointed ears and pitch black face mask extending into a stripe that ran the length of her spine and all the way to the very tip of her tail. Around her eyes and muzzle she was dusted in the creamiest of vanillas, her body complimenting in a wondrous caramel. She was truly beautiful in wolf form, the only thing betraying the fact that she was more than a wolf was size, she stood a good few inches taller than the average twenty six inches that a real Timber wolf stood.

Troy dropped the cumbersome bag next to the pile of Shale's discarded garments then rose her glossy black nose skyward, catching the other shewolf's scent. She gamboled excitedly to edge of the forrest where she found Shale waiting expectantly and joined her in her eager anticipation of the hunt.

Monday July 8th 11:47 am- The Rodere- Lillia

Lillia caught her breath, even her beast seeming to have stopped as she turned her pink-red eyes to Tony.  She had known that she was going to have to deal with her issues when she came into the rodere, but she hadn't thought that Tony would react so strongly.  His words and actions were not just unwise, they were plain stupid, but he was acting on instinct- and it had given her a focus.

"The King is right."  she said, stressing Nick's title softly.  "I am not your concern."  She told Tony.  "Instead, you should be concerned with yourself."

Her voice was not gentle, only soft.  Her tone stated fact, nothing more, and she only just glanced at him before looking away, her gaze sliding over the other rats.

July 8th - 11:50 am - Pack Preserve - Andrew

Andrew's wolf form was a study in monochrome.  He was almost impossibly white, with grey frosting everywhere.  It was darkest around his eyes, seeming almost like a  black raccoon mask.  It might have looked comical if not for the obvious majesty of his presence.  He was clearly no Ulfric but he was an obvious Alpha.

Ryan, on the other hand, seemed dwarfed by Andrew.  He shape wasn't that of a timber wolf but of the much smaller red wolf.  His facial markings gave the impression that he was grinning, even when he wasn't.  He loped up to Shale, nuzzling her.  It was the nature of the grey wolf to mate for life but that fact didn't seem to be bothering Ryan as he greeted his mate with obvious affection.  There was power in him too, not nearly so much as in Andrew.  He was likely one of the more powerful of the lesser wolves.  Most Alphas called them 'subs' but the term seemed not to fit him.

He clearly deferred to Andrew and Troy, allowing them to take the lead in the hunt.  It showed respect and also allowed him to spend more time with Shale.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:17 am - the Manhattan Club - Jules Xavier Chalice

"You haven't heard my proposition,"  Chalice said, with that same slight smile.  "You have no indication that it might be intriguing.  Perhaps I am simply a pervert who is trying to use wealth to induce twin sisters to participate in an evening of carnal delight."  He canted his head again, once more seeming to listen to a voice they could not hear.  "Or it may be that I am looking to acquire the services of a set of twin tiger lycanthropes who, through no fault of there own, find themselves for the first time in their lives, not necessarily on their own but at the very least... shall we say detached?"

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 11:48 am - The Rodere - Tony

Tony looked up at the black man who towered over him.  He was clearly trying to gauge his chances in a fight with the man. 

Don cleared his throat.  "Tony, you're a vet, right?  So you understand ranks and things like that, right?  What you're about to do, private, is take a swing at a sargeant, in front of a general, two lieutenants, one corporal and a whole lot of other privates.  What do you think would happen if you did that?"

"Court martial,"  Tony replied, still glaring at Logan, who hadn't moved an inch.  He seemed chiselled from stone.

"Okay, now think about what would happen if this were the British army, in the Napoleonic era."

"Come again?"  Mike exclaimed, clearly confused.

Tony frowned, and looked away from Logan.  "I'm not sure what you mean."

"In that era, you joined for life and you couldn't get kicked out.  They would flog you or if the offense was bad enough, shoot or hang you.  We can't kick you out of the lycanthropy club, so you'd end up taking a beating and beleive me, it would be the worst beating of your life.  You have to fight your way up to a position where you can challenge the King, just like you need to work your way up the ranks to replace the general."

"Hey, yeah,"  Mike chimed in.  "It's like 'Nam.  You need to frag the officer to move up in ranks."

Tony looked at Mike, then back at Don.  "Is he always this much of a tool?"

Don nodded, pleased that he had been able to defuse the situation.  "Pretty much."

Monday July 9th, 12:00 a.m.  - -  The Royal Hotel  Jakarta  - -  Miguel San Miguel

Miguel shuddered, then chuckled.  "Careful, Contessa.  It would be a waste to draw blood in such a trivial way."

Behind them, the doors of the elevator silently slid open.

"Going down?" asked an amused voice.

Post by: Darkflame on

Monday July 8th 11:50am- The Rodere- Lillia

Lillia let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding, but the tension didn't completely leave her.  Thank goodness they had managed to get Tony under control, but she would feel better if he would just stop being so confrontational.  She had a feeling that would be helped along by her avoiding him.  There was enough bothering her without having to worry about whether he was going to get himself beaten to a pulp or not, not to mention it all seemed to stem from him wanting to protect her.  It was a sweet sentiment, but not a wise one.  She glanced to Nick to guage his reaction.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:19 am - the Manhattan Club - Keid and Altair

Their expressions didn't flicker, if only because they'd had to learn young how to keep surprise from their faces. What one could hear even as a child when she was a sideshow attraction could be more than merely shocking.

Google search. Neither Keid nor Altair could be completely certain which of them thought it first. They appeared in searches for siamese twins, conjoined twins, sideshows, freaks, and all variations of twin, tiger, and lycanthrope porn. Their lives had been well documented, and after they'd reached the legal majority, their internet presence had been very deliberate. Individually, neither of them might have been terribly noteworthy or recognizable, but together...

Well, they owed their early retirement to wealthy perverts. It wasn't completely beyond belief that one of them had read further on the internet than the porn sites, and had recognized them on the street. Or even that he knew them from something other than the porn, as conjoined twins couldn't easily lead private lives. Though they were separated, conclusions could easily be drawn.

And calmly explaining away everything was what normal people had the luxury of doing. Not two girls who spouted fur and tails once a month. They both saw the way he canted his head, the way he listened to something they couldn't hear. I hope we don't look so obvious when we're talking. Altair's thoughts were filled with the smile that didn't touch her lips.

"Perhaps we'd find either option intriguing," Keid suggested.

"And perhaps we've found the debate about just what it might be intriguing in itself," Altair continued.

They didn't so much as exchange a glance, but Keid finished, "We are quite interested in just what it might be you have in mind."

July 8th - 11:50 am - Pack Preserve - Troy

Although she should have fully expected it, it still came as a both a realtive shock and a delightful suprise, Andrew made for a stunning wolf and Troy couldn't help but stare at him as he came to join the small gathering of two. Now in her wolf form, she could truly savour the scent and the enticing waves of his Alpha status.

Thats when she knew, she knew that she was willing to take whatever was in her way to this male, completely and utterly out of her way. Her Grandmother had always said that she would know, just know, when she found someone worthing fighting for and at this very moment, Andrew very much smelled like that something.

She focused her maroon eyes on the Alpha and surreptitiously licked her lips, catching the scent of the buck in the light breeze. She lifted her muzzle high into the air to pin point the deer's location. She cast an eye back at Ryan's blatant act of affection and a smile crinkled around her eyes.

A gruff exhalation huffed from her broad snout as the deer drew closer to them, unaware of the four predators eager for the taste of fresh blood. She peered at Andrew and motioned her compliance for the hunt, keeping her etiquette and waiting for his word to spring for the doomed beast.

Monday July 8th 11:51 am - The Rodere - Nick

"You should be careful, Tony,"  Nick said slowly.  "You've moved into a new world now and you don't know the rules yet.  One day you may be able to hold your own in a dominance fight but until at least the next full moon, you will be unable to defeat even the weakest of my rats.  You will lack the control and they would easily overwhelm you.  This isn't some superpower, Tony.  For centuries, this was called a curse for very good reasons.  You will never again be the man you were.  With luck, you will be a better one but there is no guarantee."

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:20 am - the Manhattan Club - Jules Xavier Chalice

"If you wish, I can get straight to the point.  I noticed you and realized what a valuable addition to my staff you would make.  I am attempting to organize a coalition of all the shapeshifters in Seattle and although the first meeting went well enough, I lack a suitable envoy.  You see, I lack the ability myself and as such cannot fully comprehend the mind set.  I had an assistant who was helping me but lines were crossed and the employer employee relationship suffered.  It has proven to be a setback.  I though that, given your relative rarity and relative celebrity, you might prove a better choice."

Post by: Maxx on

July 8th - 11:50 am - Pack Preserve - Andrew

With the unspoken language of true wolves, Andrew indicated what he wanted them to do.  Ryan and Shale were to separate and circle outwards until the buck scented them.  He and Troy would wait downwind, to cut off its path of escape.  Caught between the four of them, it would have no place to go except their stomachs.   Even then it would be an interesting, if short, chase.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:25 am - the Manhattan Club - Keid and Altair

They were both silent for a few moments, eerily identical expressions on both of their faces while they thought. They even blinked together. Altair opened her mouth as though she might answer, but closed it again without making a sound. For such a decision, they were better as a united front.

Instead, Keid answered. "By what little you've told us, it is an interesting idea. Perhaps, if you should give us more details, even a worth one," she said.

"There's a very great deal we'd need to know," Altair said.

"Not the least of which being more about the shapeshifters who already live here," Keid continued.

They both nodded together. "We've already mentioned, we only just arrived in town today." Before, there had been some subtle difference between their voices. Someone merely overhearing the conversation might not have caught it, but anyone listening would. There was a greater warmth to Altair's voice, a certain lightness of spirit that reflected in her tone. Keid sounded more serious, more thoughtful. Right then, it sounded as though one woman was speaking into a microphone while someone played with the balance.

"You're the first person either of us has spoken to, other than cab drivers and hotel employees," Keid said.

They nodded together again, just a slight bob of both of their heads, as though they were agreeing, and Altair picked up the train of thought. "We've managed to catch neither hint nor whiff of other shapeshifters since our arrival."

"There's a great deal to weigh in such a proposal, even with so little other information," Keid said. They leaned forward slightly, both cocking their heads just slightly to one side.

"Local politics,"

"What sort of welcome we'll receive,"

"What welcome from what faction,"

"From what pack, or pard, or pride, or rodere,"

"And of course," Altair smiled, but that time, the expression was mirrored perfectly by her twin, "we are signed up to begin classes at the university."

They nodded. "We must consider just what employment might mean to our classes, petty though it may seem."

"And we will need time. Time to consider your proposal, time to learn the city and its inhabitants, time to consider our own desires and decisions."

Keid finished, and it seemed perhaps Altair had a little more control than might have at first seemed obvious, since the smile they both wore softened. "Of course, we can't go about any of that without hearing you out. You have certainly gotten our attention."

July 8th - 11:53 am - Pack Preserve - Troy

Troy bowed her large, wedge shaped head, her mouth cracking open to allow the scent of the deer to glaze across her tongue. Large burgundy eyes watched with effortless patience as the the two sub wolves cantered silently towards the intended prey, allowing their predatory scent to catch in the light morning breeze.

Her keen eyes caught the first flickers of the bucks panic, its ears twitching and tail flashing in alarm. A grin spread across her lupine face as the tangy aroma of fear filtered down through the swaying evergreens. The anticipation coiled deeply in her throbbing heart and tensed muscles. Soundlessly she crept forward, keeping her great, masked head close to the ground, ears flat to her furred skull. Maroon eyes flicked back to Andrew, checking his position as they inched forward. Her large paws sank into the giving earth the soft moss like velvet between her toes.

The scent of the other wolves had finally surrounded the deer, pushing it to full blown terror. It fled on heavy hooves straight into Andrew and Troy's path. Troy's muscles sprung reflexively as the doomed beast hurtled towards them. Her black lips pulled back to reveal a mouth full of unforgiving teeth.

"Perhaps it would be best if you asked questions and I answered,"  Chalice said.  "My awareness of the situation isn't complete because I am not part of the community.  I can fill you in on as much as an outsider can understand, if that is of any help to you.  Where would you like me to begin?"

July 8th - 11:50 am - Pack Preserve

The stag burst into view.  It was clearly an animal in the prime of its life and it was bound and determine to survive the next few minutes with its hide intact.  It sensed, rather than saw or smelled the wolves in front of it and it turned back the way it had come.  Somehow it knew that its greatest chance for survival was in facing the lesser wolves.

Andrew let out a howl.  His message was clear, even if it was unspoken.

Somebody take this thing down before it gets away.

July 8th - 11:53 am - Pack Preserve - Troy

Andrew's bay was the signal that Troy had been so desperate to be given. The tightly coiled fibres of her exquisite musculature catapulted her shadowy form towards the fleeing buck. Her head was held low to the ground and tall ears flattend in tight. Broad paws hammered triumphantly on the rich earth, their thunderous tattoo ringing in the inevitable demise of the young deer. She gained on the beast, her pawfalls in perfect sync with his hoofbeats, its full white rump teasing her with tiny tail flicks. The deer careened to the left, hoping to find cover in the trees.

Shit, shit, shit!! No way are you getting away fella!

She slid to an almost stop, her short black, nails digging into forgiving dirt. Her rear end skidded haphazardly as she changed direction, keeping her keen maroon eyes fixed on their prey. Her back legs bicycled and propelled her in the diverted path of the buck. The speed of her persuit winding up to double time, the sight of the tempting white tail furthering her pace.  She was steadily closing in on the panicked beast, being vigilant in avoiding the powerful back legs, one kick and that would be her knocked down and out of the hunt.

Troy lunged and the buck's flanks, catching the creature off balance and knocking it clumsily to the ground. The buck thrashed and twisted beneath her unflinching grasp.

Holy hell where is EVERYBODY, if someone doesn't hurry the hell up I'm gong to end up with a face full of hoof, a shitload of disappointment AND any empty belly!!

July 8th - 11:54 am - Pack Preserve

The buck twisted savagely, fighting for its life.  It was hard to stomp while on the ground but the buck managed.  One hind foot caught Troy in the chest, winding her.  A fore hoof grazed along the side of her jaw, narrowly missing her eye.

Troy felt her teeth slip on the stag's fur and suddenly it was free again, bounding away from the monchrome wolf that had just appeared.  Andrew paused long enough to make sure Troy wasn't badly hurt, before following what they all hoped would be their lunch.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Tinker on

Troy grunted as the hoof made contact with her chest, the force knocking all breath from her body, the second hoof assault adding insult to injury.

Oooow, bugger.

She lay on her side after Andrew had checked in on her, finding the breath that the buck had knocked from her lungs in short pants. As her breathing returned to somewhere near normal she slowly rose, shaking her thick, shaggy head clear of the throbbing in her cheekbone and jaw. She watched Andrew in his monochromatic glory persue the staggering buck. The delicate tang of the trace amount of blood that she had spilled nestled cruelly on her bubblegum pink tongue. Gingerly she trotted back towards the hunt, desperately hoping that she had put at least some kind of dent in the deer's stamina, meaning that someone would bring the beast down, for good.

Monday July 8th- 11:52 am- The Rodere- Lillia

Tony didn't know how lucky he was to have a King as understanding as Nick.  The young rat king had many times over earned Lillia'a respect, and she had known him for only a few hours.  It was a fact, however, that if Tony didn't get himself in check, then he was going to get hurt.

Lillia would let him.

It wasn't that she liked the idea, but he had to learn for himself the boundaries that he could cross and those that he couldn't.  As boundaries went, she herself would be learning a few.  There were a lot of faces that she didn't recognize, but then, she hadn't truly met a great many of the other rats when last she was here.  Still she scanned the great room for familiar faces.

They considered in silence for a moment. Altair had an idea, and Keid's sarcastic thoughts wandered just behind hers. Usually, you begin at the beginning.

That's dull and unimaginative, Altair answered. She started by asking, "In a perfect world, if all went according to your plans--with or without us--just what will you have accomplished?"

Since Altair was being muddy, Keid picked up her thought to complete it. "What is your goal with this coalition? We can't quite trust altruism as a business model."

Chalice smiled the amused little smile.  "It is my desire to become the intermediary between all the various preternatural groups in the city.  Information is power and being aware of exactly what is going on between those same groups would make me very powerful indeed.  You see, of all the factions, the vampires and the werewolves are by far the strongest.  They are also equally matched.  Thus far there is no contact between them, since the werewolf pack Alpha despises vampires.  The vampire's master of the City is willing to deal with them but there is no chance that the two groups would ever voluntarily do business together.  That is where I come in."

The smile widened fractionally.  "In a perfect world, if all went as I desired,  Brad Pitt would be my adoring slave."

They laughed. Together, both twins drew breath as one and laughed, making the exact same sound together. It had the bright edges of Altair's carefree giggles threaded through Keid's more sardonic chuckle, as though their separate personalities were still there, but somehow dispersed through two bodies. Anyone who knew them well--and undoubtedly many who'd only barely met them--could have taken it as a sign that they weren't perfectly at ease. "Brad Pitt! We'd maybe take Christian Bale," Altair said.

"Or maybe Morena Baccarin," Keid mused.

"Or Gina Torres," Altair agreed, both of them nodding.

"Or Nathan Fillion." They both smirked. "It's a very interesting proposal. We're curious as to just what role we might play in this plan. We are, afterall, very new in town. And we won't have a place in the pack."

"Or the pard,"

"Or the rodere,"

"And it will be most surprising if there are enough rare types living here who are cooperative enough to have gathered themselves into any sort of order," Altair finished.

Monday July 8th 11:21 pm - Sailor�s Camaro- Tyler & Sailor

The younger vampire listened to his Sire's story through heavy eyelids, regarding her sad tale as if it happened to a friend of a friend of hers. It's not that Tyler didn't care, he did. He had just grown tired of the hundreds of heartbreaking tales he had heard over the years. Tyler felt the powerful metal beast rumble beneath him and heard the cat calls from the bleach boys turn into howling just before she tore off again into the night. The vampire's eyes opened as he felt the dancer's small painted hand alight on his knee. "I guess it would be only fair to allow you a question or two about your long lost monster." Tyler smiled and went back to watching the colors of the night blend together as the sleek Camaro roared past.

Sailor felt a great sense of relief as Tyler's cocky facade had slid effortlessly back in place, "Mommy's little monster, huh?"

She raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow at her spawn, her fingertips softly digging into the bony knee, " I really don't know Tyler, what the hell do you ask someone that you just abandoned unceremoniously after a: bringing back to life, b: completely changing their genetic structure so that they need to hunt down people to survive and c: again, unceremoniously abandoning? I have you now, Tyler, so don't think that I'll be letting you just drift away again. We vampires are by nature possessive of our 'children' and you my sweet, are mine."

Tyler smirked and looked back toward his newly found savior; it was like being born again. "Aww it wasn't so bad baby, it�s not like you bit a chartered accountant. I picked up the feeding pretty quick, and had plenty of donors. Turned out one of my later bassists was a bloodsucker." Tyler smiled and cleared his throat. �He was the only one who didn't have mirrors above the bed."

Sailor's laughter came like tinkling bells, "Well it seems my intuition about you wasn't entirely unfounded", her liquid metal eyes sparkled seductively in the strobe of the streetlights as they scanned the lithe man sitting in her vintage car, "But seriously, sweetie. Where are you in your unlife now? How successful of an undead citizen are you?"

"I think I stopped being a citizen of any kind when I buried the last of my cash alongside a railroad track and bought a van. I've been moving ever since. I made a few notes so I could dig it up again when I was ready to settle down somewhere for a while. I've been in Seattle for a bit now. I think it has potential." Tyler watched as the white lights of the street zoomed across her starry eyes, like runaway moon over dark twin pools.

Sailor�s gaze flicked back to Tyler, a certain softness glittering in her eyes, �I have a proposition for you�, her bottom lip became captive of her small sharp teeth as her eyes flicked back the road, she griped the gear shift firmly and shifted up with hard and definite movements, � I want you to be with me now. We�ve spent to long without each other and a sire has certain obligations to those that they turn but it�s not just that, I like you Tyler, I think we could cause a whole heap of trouble together.�

Her metallic eyes swept once more to drink in his appearance, �I have a big house, with a fridge full of blood and a bed that�s big enough for two, that just so happens to be in a secure subterranean bedroom. Come stay with me for a while: you like it we figure something out, you don�t like it you go and continue your life on the road.�

Monday  July 8th, 11:56 a.m.  - -  The Pack Preserve  - -  Shale

Shale and Ryan followed Andrews directions.  They circled around the buck she going right, him going left, and came in from behind it.  It was a magnificent specimen, young and strong.  The wind shifted just enough for it to catch their scent.  Its nostrils flared and its eyes went wide, then it bolted.  With swift speed, Shale and Ryan sprang after it, herding towards Troy and Andrew.  The buck danced on its fleeing feet, trying to put a safe amount of distance between itself and its pursuers.  it burst through some young trees and underbrush and came face to face with the other two wolves.  Shale bounded out right behind, just in time to see Troy hit the buck in the side and take it to its knees.  Without breaking her stride, Shale bolted for it as it laid a hoof into the other females chest and face.  Shale never slowed down as she changed direction to follow the fleeing creature, if anything, she manged to increase her speed.  Shale let out a howl as she passed Andrew on the left.  The buck changed direction again, this time placing it in a perfect line for Shale to bring down.  Shale gauged just how much force it would take to stop her prey and then pin balled off several objects within her path to land her on its shoulders and neck.  She hit the left side of a large boulder with precision timing, bounced onto a partially fallen tree, sprang off a second boulder and then hit a 130 foot pine tree twenty feet from its base.  Finally she landed square on the bucks shoulders and neck.  Her claws dug into the beasts hide as her jaws fastened around the back of its neck.  The weight of her landing drove the deer to its knees once again.  It bolted back to its hooves and bucked, trying to dislodge her.  But she wasn't going to be thrown that easily.  Shale gave three strong shakes of her jaws and felt the bucks neck snap.  It let out a long plaintive cry before her jaws fastened around its throat and crushed its windpipe.  She sat and called for the others.  Their prey was dead before the other three arrived.

Monday July 9th, 12:02 a.m.  - - The Royal Hotel  Jakarta  - -  Elisabeta

Elisabeta turned at the sound of the voice behind them.  "It would appear that we have arrived."  Without removing her hand from Miguel's back or backside, she slipped to stand beside him.  "It might be best if we continue this in the privacy of my suite, don't you think darling?"  She hadn't taken her eyes off of the person standing in the doorway.  With the slightest amount of pressure against his back, Elisabeta started to exit the elevator and turned left, leading him to the end of the hall and the door to her suite.  Even before she opened it, she could tell that her two servants weren't alone.  The door opened onto a small marble foray that led into a rather spacious living room.  The wall opposite was filled with floor to ceiling windows, covered in a very heavy deep purple cloth.  Two doors were to the right leading to the rooms her servants occupied, both closed.  To the left was a single door, open.  The living room held a coffee table, two over stuffed armchairs, a couch that matched the chairs, two end tables on either end of the couch and numerous potted plants.  There was also a desk and chair placed against the wall just to the left of the foray.  A small kitchenette was also present, as was a small dinning table and four chairs.  She spotted a telegram on the coffee table and glanced at it in passing.  It was from her master.  He would be unable to send a proper gift for Seattle's Master for another two days.  But he did promise to include two donors for her.

She was not entirely happy with thought of having to hang around this hellhole for another two days, but if she must, she must.  She was not going to let that new ruin her evening.  A slight orange glow was coming from the room off the left, a glow that flickered and wavered.  Elisabeta smiled.  She removed her hands from Miguel and gestured to the living room.  "Please.  Make yourself comfortable.  There is liqueur in the cabinet to the right of the foray.  Feel free to make yourself something.  Or you could simply accompany me."  Without waiting for an answer or to see what he would do, she sauntered into the bedroom.  Both it and the attached bathroom were filled with lit candles, their flames dancing and wavering.  She peeked into the bathroom and saw that there was hot bath drawn, steam rising from the water.  Elisabeta kicked off her shoes and called to Miguel.  "Would you care to join me in a steaming hot bath?  Or would you like to wait for me to finish?"

There were, as always faces that were familiar, some easily recognizable, some maddeningly close to the edge of memory but still unnameable.  Lillia was the focus of a considerable amount of attention, both from those who remembered her and those who had no idea who she was but still found her condition of interest.

She obviously had the favour of the new King, if not his sexual attention.  It gave her a certain amount of protection, at least until it was discovered what the Kings interest in her was.  Then it was quite likely that all bets were off.

Ryan was ecstatic when the stag went down.  He spun in rapid circles, then tried to reproduce Shale's amazing richocet path.  He failed and ended up on the ground, rolling in the dirt making happy little noise.

Andrew came up to the dead stag and sniffed it from end to end.  Then he sat down, looked at Shale and nodded once.  Not only did he approve of the kill, he was allowing her first meat.  He would carry a portion of it back to the Ulfric but he was going to make sure it went with Shale's scent on it so they all knew who had made the kill.

"Afterall, it wouldn't be well hidden if you could see it," Altair added.

The two shifted back in their chairs. "There have been places where the rare types have formed some sort of a group," Keid mused.

"Not commonly," Altair warned.

"Not commonly," Keid agreed, the two of them nodding together. "There's plenty of reason for them to keep to themselves, unless there's strict opposition to them by other, more common types."

"They'll need to see a clear benefit to themselves," Altair said.

The familiar faces gave her some relief, but only so much.  She had not made friends before she left, and there were likely to be those who might not be happy that she was back.  It didn't matter really.  She knew that she would draw a lot of attention, not just at this rodere, but all over the city, simply for her strangeness.  She was glad that the full moon was already past, however.  She might not mind having been given lycanthropy, but she was more than a little self consious about her other form.

"Well, if you don't mind, I would like to find someplace to rest.  I didn't sleep well last night."  Lillia said softly, dropping her gloves into her hat with her sunglasses.

Shale laughed at Ryan and his missed attempt to copy her.  It was not an easy thing to do in wolf for but somehow she managed.  She trotted over and nuzzled him, making sure that he hadn't broken anything when he fell.  When Andrew appeared she back away from buck, not knowing what to expect.  As soon as he acknowledged the kill and gave her permission she advanced and took hold of the front leg just below the shoulder.  With no small amount of effort she ripped the entire shoulder off the dead carcass and carried over to Ryan.  There was more than enough meat there to feed the two of them.  Without waiting for Ryan, she started to rip pieces off and eat.  After about a minute, she looked up at her mate and grinned.

"Through that door is a private area.  Anyone in there is not to be disturbed unless I allow it.  You will be able to grab a quick nap without any trouble."  Nick spoke quietly but the keen hearing of every lycanthrope in the lair made certain that they heard.  It was his way of giving her a small amount of additional protection.

Ryan cheerfully licked the blood from Shale's muzzle.  His pride in her hunting ability was evident.  There was a playful glint in his eyes as he did so.  Obviously it meant he was planning something.  what he was planning became apparent quickly, because he picked up the leg that he and Shale were sharing and danced away a short distance.  Then he turned and looked at her, daring her to come and try and take it back.

Andrew, in the meantime was busily tearing off one of the hind legs to take back to the pack council.

His lips found her shoulder and followed the curve up to her neck.  His fingers didn't stop in their work of removing her clothing.  "What is an appropriate gift?" he asked, murmuring in her ear.

Somehow she was surprised to see the fang marks upon him.  She had not thought of him as one who would willingly allow one of her kind to bite.  Elisabeta shuddered as he kissed her shoulder and neck.  "Seven years ago it was allegiance to Seattle's Master for six months.  I have no idea what my master will consider an appropriate gift this time.  I would expect that my allegiance will be a part of it though.  That is one of the traditional gifts to allow one master safe passage within the realm of another.  And since I shall be in Seattle till my task is done or my prey moves on, it would be only fitting that my allegiance is to Seattle's Master for the duration of my stay.  What else may be sent I have no idea.  But let us not talk of things.  There will be time for talk later, now is the time for actions."  She pulled Miguel to her roughly and kissed him long and hard, only breaking it off so he could breathe.  No sooner had the last of their clothes fell to the floor then she had stepped into the deep tub, pulling him along with her.  Elisabeta sank into the steaming water and tugged Miguel close once again, running her hands over every inch of his muscular body.

Monday  July 8th, 11:57am - The Pack Preserve  - Troy


Troy watched with predatory glee as Shale preformed a feat of Mario-esque acrobatics to bring the young buck down to a grounding halt. She trotted buoyantly towards the group of three and the fallen beast. With impeccable manners and a keen sense of pack etiquette, she waited untilall present had taken their first bites of the kill before going forth to take her own share. Her glistening nose nuzzled deep into the deer's groin, right at the point where the hind leg connected into the pelvis. Strong jaws tore through the willing skin, releasing a flow of hot, sweet blood. The sanguine liquid blushed her pale muzzle scarlet. She ripped great globs of tender flesh from bone, the satin texture of the still warm meat slid seductively down her throat. Once she had had her fill and Andrew had taken the pack's portion, she pulled the corpse in the a small copse of trees, leaving the veritable buffet for the woodland's scavengers in relative safety.

Eventually, Ryan tired of the game and settled to the ground with the foreleg still in his mouth.  He knew he was going to be in wolf form for at least four hours.  He hadn't yet mastered the art of changing back early without exhaustion.  It was possible that he never would but he didn't mind.  He enjoyed being a wolf.  He happily cracked open the long bones and began licking out the marrow.

Andrew returned to the kill and chose to feed from the stag's throat.  He didn't pull it out of the sheltered area where Troy had deposited it, he simply adapted himself to his environment and sank into the shadows.  His black and white coat made for adequate, but not perfect, camoflage.

Miguel slid into the hot water with a slight hiss.  Perhaps he found the water too hot or perhaps he had brushed against a bruise as he settled in.  He said nothing, however and began exploring the bare skin that Elisabeta had exposed.

"I will be your eyes in the day,"  he whispered.  "And your warmth at night."  He boldly met her eyes again, a rare act for a human who knew anything about vampires.  "But only so long as our paths are the same."

Shale looped to where Ryan had stopped and dropped, circled him, nuzzling all the while.  Then she plopped down on the other side of the meat and started to eat.  Every once and awhile she would look up and give Ryan a big smile.  After a good ten minutes of ripping, chewing and lip smacking, Shale got up and moved over to where Ryan was.  She nuzzled him again, and presented herself to him, lifting her tail out of the way.  She waited patiently for Ryan to finish eating and mount her.  Shale pushed back against his thrusts, forcing him deeper and deeper inside herself, urging him to be rougher and rougher with her.  She let out a howl of ecstasy, once, twice, three times.

Monday  July 8th, 12:03am - The Pack Preserve  - Troy

Troy had settled herself next to the torn body of the deer, panting contentedly in the dappled shadow of the canopy. She watched Andrew tear into the deer's throat and abscent mindedly licked her black lips clean of the slowly congealing blood. With a sense of unwilling voyeurism she listened to the unfolding mating ritual between Shale and Ryan, immediately feeling both embarrassed and utterly uncomfortable. She rose on broad paws returning to the deer to quickly rip a bloody strip of meat from the animal's flank. Deep maroon eyes lowered in an unspoken apology and permission to be excused, her pale paws danced in her discomfort before she silently turned tail towards the spot she had left her backpack.

She trotted with the meat hanging from her clenched jaws, great globules of blood dripped to the fertile earth with her every springing step. With great delicacy she laid the flesh on the ground next to her backpack, the pack had moved on and she knew she could change quick enough without anyone seeing. Troy shrugged of her wolf form with a suprising ease. The shortening of tendons and the regrouping of her musculature slid with a certain fluidity that she had always felt blessed for. She pulled a fluffy, black towel from her backpack, rubbing herself clean of the glistening liquids of the shift. The clothing slowly made its way out of the backpack, she pulled her skinny jeans with her panties still tucked inside on. With gleaming eyes darting, she quickly struggled into her bra, hoping no one had managed to catch her naked in her vulnerable human form. She slipped the battered Minor Threat shirt over her head, shaking her midnight hair free, the long bangs falling into her eyes. The brown plaid slip-ons were tugged on with an urgency as she began to feel her unacclimatised body shiver in the damp Seattle air. Quickly, she stuffed her arms in the black hoodie, zipping it up high and pulling the hood over her head. The backpack was thrown on to her back and the strip of venison snatched as cantered into light sprint, using her nose to find the rest of the pack.

They were all sated in a variety of ways.  Several of the wolves were lounging around in wolf form.  Others had chosen the man wolf form.  Lobo was lying naked in human form, casually licking lamb's blood off his fingers.  "Nice,"  he said.  It wasn't clear whether he was referring to the lamb, the portion of deer that both Andrew and then Troy had brought the council or Troy's appearance.

"Do you want to talk politics now, when I'm in a good mood or would you prefer to wait?"

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:32 am - the Manhattan Club - Keid and Altair

"We aren't much for restrictions," Altair said. "Though maybe restraints." She giggled.

"Although we might have a hidden agenda," Keid ventured.

"Afterall, it wouldn't be well hidden if you could see it," Altair added.

The two shifted back in their chairs. "There have been places where the rare types have formed some sort of a group," Keid mused.

"Not commonly," Altair warned.

"Not commonly," Keid agreed, the two of them nodding together. "There's plenty of reason for them to keep to themselves, unless there's strict opposition to them by other, more common types."

"They'll need to see a clear benefit to themselves," Altair said.

"And even if we might agree or accept," Keid added, "we'd have to play it very much by ear as we meet others."

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:25 am - Park - Tristan Crow

(http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n182/Hades_bucket/?action-view&current=LadyNot.png) A tree's leaves dance as a shadow brushed against them. In the darkness of the midnight sky sat a boyish immortal whom appeared to be no more then seventeen. His soft features were hidden beneath strands of dark hair that fell in his face. The slender creature looked to be content in his own little world as his bottom sat upon a thick branch; high above the grass.

Tristan brought his knees up to his chest and folded his arm about them. His mind drifted into thoughts of the past and for once, his thoughts were pleasing. Could a smile break the emotionless expression? It seemed it had but difficult to be noted. Sweet was not a word that was commonly used to describe him but for a moment, he appeared to be an angel.

Beauty was exceptional as long as one did not get to close to him. He 'appeared' to be femininely alluring but he had a temper hotter then the flow of lava which compromised his charismatic charm. A spit fire in soft flesh. It was possable that there was more to him.

(Bah, it is all I can do at this moment)

Monday July 8th - 12:31 pm - The Preserve - Troy

Troy listlessly shifted her weight between the balls of her feet, her heels grazing the ground as her hips gently swayed. Her long thumbs tucked securely behind the the thick straps of her backpack as she relinquished the slab of fresh kill. Her dark eyes flitted across the pack, observing them in the glittering summer sun, coats gleaming, noses glistening, flesh bejeweled with the crimson glow of spilt blood. She settled her glance on the Ulfric as he lounged in all his resplendent masculine glory. The gratuitous opulence of her burgundy eyes was momentarily obscured by impossibly dark lashes. The slightest tinge of carmine rose in the creaminess of her high cheekbones as a suggestive smile tugged at the corners of her ripe lips, multiplicity behind the alpha's comment not going unnoticed. A long fingered hand reached up to push the hood back from her face, releasing the swathe of midnight hair, "I think we may as well strike whilst the iron is hot", she surreptitiously glanced at Lobo's nakedness, "Politics are always best served on a full belly and with a contented grin."

Troy dropped the bag from her shoulders, settling in front of the Ulfric, crosslegged. Her chin rested easily in the cup of her palm and her eyes worked up the length of the man as he relished the final drops of the gift she had brought[, "i'm ready, willing and able whenever everyone else is."

Lobo let out a heavy sigh.  "Might as well.  Tom would you go see if my Loki is done with his lady love?  He should be here for this, whether he can actively relay the details of his objection or not."  The Ulfric chuckled.  "If I didn't wait, I'd never hear the end of it."

Tom, who was still in human for and apparently free of any blood drops, nodded.  "I'll get him,"  he said, before heading towards the tree line.

He lay beside her, watching her.  He was, as she had expected, quite skilled and remarkably adventurous.  He seemed to enjoy using his teeth, more than she would have expected from a human.  He didn't draw blood but he lingered over those places where her blood would have been closest to the skin.  There was much about him that seemed more than human and hinted at a more than passing knowledge if vampires.

Tuesday, July 9th - 12:33 am - the Manhattan Club - Jules Xavier Chalice

Chalice smiled again, the thin smile that suggested mild amusement.  "I doubt restraining you would serve any useful purpose although I do admit that I may be wrong on that.  My suggestion for forging an alliance of all the individual odd lycanthropes is based on the realization that alone, they are weak and vulnerable.  If they unite, they will have a greater strength than any of them has alone.  I cite the example of the toothpick.  Individually they are easily broken.  In numbers, they become virtually impossible to bend, let alone break."

"Who ever said everything has to be useful?" Keid sighed.

"Someone who never has any fun," Altair answered.

"Alone, they're also agile and able to answer to no one but themselves," Keid pointed out.

"Or so we've heard," Altair said. "Just playing devil's advocate."

They both carefully stretched their necks, rolling their shoulders. That particular time, Keid was just a half-second behind her twin. "We must be reluctant to simply strike a deal after only one conversation, and before we've met anyone else here," Keid said.

"But we will carefull consider this. It is very worthy of consideration," Altair said.

Shale heard and smelled Tom's approach long before he was in visual range.  By that time they had gone back to the deer shoulder and were eating once again.  This time her mind was fulling on the meat before her.  When Tom reached them she stood, not knowing the exact etiquette in such a situation.

Elisabeta had not been this happy in many years.  It had been nearly thirty since she had found someone who was not afraid of her and knew how to please her.  She lay in Miguel's arms, eyes closed, listening to his breathing.  He was an enigma, a puzzle that did not quite fit.  Now more than ever she was determined to do everything she could to keep him with her, short of using force that is.  Although she has resorted to such means in the past, it was not something she enjoyed doing.  She much preferred her companions to be with her of their own choosing, not of hers.  She was most curious about the fang marks on his neck and where he learned how to pleasure a creature such as herself, but was not about to ask.  If he wanted her to know he would tell her in his own time.  Or she would just have to keep wondering.  "It would be best if you were not here when I awake.  I would not want to feed from you without your consent and after tonight's activities I will not be able to control my hunger if you are near.  I will go hunting about an hour after sundown.  After that I shall be yours for the rest of tomorrow night."  She warned him still not opening her eyes.

"As you wish,"  Chalice said.  He reached into an inner pocket and withdrew a business card.  "You will call me if you change your minds?  The offer will only be open for an additional twenty three and a half hours, give or take a few minutes.  You may wish to call if you are in need of any assistance, as well.  I find it to my advantage to have people owing me small favours."

"Lobo is looking for you, Ryan.  He wants to talk a little politics with Troy."

Ryan, his belly full, heaved a heavy sigh.  Slowly, he got to his feet, with an exaggerated longsuffering air.  He licked Shale's face, as much for the contact as to clean off some stray blood.  Then he trotted in the direction of his Ulfric.

"You can come too,"  Tom said, looking at Shale.  "It's not like it's a private meeting."

"I will not be here when you awaken,"  Miguel said softly.  "But I will be here when you return.  There are a few things I might be able to do to ease your passage into Seattle.  They will of course have to wait until morning but I suspect I will be able to conclude them by nightfall."  He smiled and gently kissed her.  "Hopefully I will have good news fo you."

[/Tuesday, July 9th - 12:40 am - Park - Tristan Crow

Tristan dropped from the tree and landed with his feet upon the ground but his body dropped down to a crouched position as his feet stung a little do to how high he was. The ends of his flowing, cotton pants draped against the ground and hid his bare feet from view. As he stood, his long hair fell over his shoulders and framed his soft, feminine features.

Different smells of the land around him flooded his nose and strangely, it made him a bit hungry. Surprisingly, there was a smile on his face but there seemed to be a a spark of boredom in his saphire eyes. "Oh, this is dull. The modern world suck ass," he quietly said to himself as he started forward.

His feet were carrying him out of the park and towards the forest of buildings. "Aside from what few patches of untainted land this world has, this world is nothing more then a cluster of concrete extending as far as the eye can see. It looks like nothing more then a sea of giant tombstones filled with meaningless, media fanatical, mortals. Even vampires are buying in to the mindless consumer driven world which is led by celebrity hype."

The youthful being groaned and continued along his path. It did not appear that he was paying attention to where he was going but he did return to that smile. "I guess that is life. If the world will not adapt to me then I will adapt to it. I can not just wonder for ever and I doubt Christiana still cares of my existence since it seems that I am finally free of her."

A smile darted over both girl's lips, there and gone almost before it could be seen. "I would imagine it's quite good, having small favors to call in," Keid said. She accepted the card, and both sisters inclined their heads towards him. "We will be certain to get back to you before our time is up."

Shale grinned, stood, shook out her coat and lopped after Ryan.  She caught up to him at the edge of the woods, nipped at his tail and ran.  Skidding to a stop just before she ran nose first into Lobo's back, Shale had the decency to look a little ashamed at her entrance.  She slunk around to the other side of the group and sat, grooming herself as she waited and listened.

Elisabeta sighed contentedly at the kiss.  "Anything you do for me would be welcome.  Even if it does not amount to anything.  Just the thought is more than sufficient to keep you in my good graces for a very long time."  She lay silent for several moments, listening to Miguel breath and the steady rhythm of his heart.  Her ears picked up the soft sounds coming from one of the other bedrooms.  It would seem as if one of her servants found herself some company for the night.  She smiled slightly as she recognized the voice of the daytime bellhop.  Elisabeta opened her eyes and looked up at Miguel.  A hunger grew in her eyes as she studied his face.  She kissed and nibbled her way up his chest finally reaching his soft lips.

Monday July 8th 3:25 pm- Outside the Rodere- Lillia

Lillia peered up at the intimidating looking black man who Nick had sent to accompany her.  They were complete opposites, and she found herself wondering if he had done that deliberately.

"I'll need to go to Bones and see Harold to get my things from him."  She told him, pulling on her gloves, the last piece of her usual protection to go on.  Then she turned to head toward the store.  It really had been silly of her to forget such things as her clothes... it made her smile to admit it to herself, but she had been so nervous that it hadn't even crossed her mind.  She even suspected that Harold hadn't said anything to her because he wanted her to come by.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

OOC:  Okay, here is what I am going to do.  I'm advancing the timeline by one month, to August 31st.  It will be one day before the beginning of the three day full moon cycle (full moon with be September 2nd, with 1st and 3rd having a full moon that affects most of the shapeshifters but not the strong Alphas.

There is a meeting that has been planned and organized by the newly formed Seattle Police Department's Preternatural Affairs Unit.  Each of the major groups has been contacted and the news has trickled out through the rest of the smaller populations.

Specific news of the past two months:

Two nuns have been murdered by a vampire. Father Domenic Sozio has an execution warrant out on the killer and is actively hunting him.  The Master of the City has given authorization for a vampire 'specialist' from Jakarta in the Philippines to enter Seattle to assist in the hunt.

Four werewolves disappeared the first night of the August 2nd full moon.  All were tall males in their mid twenties and were last seen getting ready to head out to the pack sanctuary for the lupanar.  One of them turned up dead two weeks later, in the burned out remains of a wrecked car.  There was barely enough to identify but forensics suggest he'd been dead for several days before being put in the car.

Morvan defeated Michael after a hard fought battle and challenged Kyle the next night.  After a surprisingly difficult fight,  Morvan managed to overcome Kyle and is now the Nimir Raj of the Seattle wereleopard pack. 

Several attempts have been made by the three other wererat packs to see how stable Nick's regime is.  So far the pack is holding together. 

A number of unusual fires have been started in the city, with no identifiable trigger.  A pyrokinetic is suspected.

Please fill me in on what your characters would have been doing over the past two months.  We will be starting with everyone preparing for the meeting with the police.  Vampires will be present.

Brandy has been undergoing intensive social and political grooming so she can better service her latest client. And is moping mildly now that Morvan is in charge.

Suki has been working her but off trying to meet with the were groups but on police time and off of it. She tried to warn the werewolves about the possibility of a serial killer that went after male shifters but wasn't able to fully convince them. She and Domenic have been training the new Police Preternatural squad on how to deal with all things non human and can successfully say that everyone on the squad has passed their exams.

Police discovered after a call at a wrecking yard what appeared to be left over human remains in one of the compactors. On July 12th after they received a complaint from a worker that said the area smelled funny. Test results from forensics have determined the victim was Caucasian female with type A+ blood.

The leopards formerly known as Kyles Pard that live on his ranch are adjusting to life with a new Raj. Justin and Katana are still an item. Michael is more withdrawn and sullen than normal. Katie and Leslie are handling things well. Mellisa is still stripping. Brandy quit her job to take on an exclusive contract and tries to do her best to not draw attention to herself while at home.


2nd week of August 2 girls were reported missing and last seen leaving a club called Tonic.

Middle of August Police handed asked Preternatural group to take on a case involving a snuff film or extremely convincing looking one that involved shifters. To investigate.

Last day of August a brand new extreme adult movie has become available to those with underground connections. The subject matter is rumored to involve shifters and human girls. This has yet become news to the police of Seatlle.

Schreck has been doing nothing important or mentionable besides just existing.

Huey on the other hand has been busy, very busy. Investigating Marshal Ronnin and his father's company. Discovering the fight group that Marshal hosts, as well as becoming more ingrained with the werewolf pack of Seattle, and snooping into any other thing that would catch his interest as a reporter. Including the porn tape if he would of heard of it. In other words sticking his fingers into as many pies as he possibly can.

For the period of time since Lillia's arrival to the current time, just before the meeting, Lillia has been working hard to prove her worth inside the rodere and avoiding Tony as much as possible so that he might have plenty of chance to get used to his new way of life.  The special treatment that Nick has given her has of course drawn some animosity among the other rats, some of which remember he from the previous king.  This has caused at least one fight which she tried to avoid but could not.  Afterwards she demonstrated her healing ability first hand for Nick and a few others to see by healing the damage she had done to her opponent.  She has been avoiding any romantic advances and trying to not draw too much attention outside the rodere.

Elisabeta arrived in Seattle with her two servants, a donor from her homeland, Miguel and a suitable gift for Seattle's Master.  She has met with Nigel and one of her servants has met with Father Dominic and handed over a copy of the warrant she is carrying.  Both Father Dominic and Elisabeta fear that the rogue vampire she is hunting is responsible for the attack on the nuns.  Miguel and her servants have been gathering information for her by day and she has been gathering information by night from the local vampire population.  She is staying at the Sorrento Hotel located on the corner of 9th Ave. and Madison St., a place she has stayed several times on her past visits.

Shale has taken a job with a local landscaper who is also a member of the Seattle Wolf Pack.  She enjoys working outdoors and with her hands.  The smell of freshly turned dirt reminds her of Alaska.  Her lawyer has gotten her mail forwarded and a bank account set up for her at a local credit union.  He has also sent her the $500,000 check she is going to present to the Pack as a gift, along with a bunch of legal documents she needs to sign.  Shale has also been taking driving lessons from a very reputable driving school and is close to being able to get her first drivers license.  She, like the rest of the pack, has been unnerved about the disappearance and murder of fellow wolves in the city.

That depends entirely on how much Lovecraft and what kind.  The cosmology of the Antiaverse is fairly well spelled out...

The Cthulhu mythos is not considered to be part of the cosmology but that doesn't mean a loonie or two can't worship them.  After all there are demons that would answer any prayers directed at them....

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Morvala on

You haven't read a lot of Lovecraft have you lol, there's not many demons in it at all. And fuck the Cthulhu mythos, that's my least favorite Lovecraft story, I like his Shadow Over Innsmouth, and the Thing on my Doorstep.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

You miss my point.  There are demons in the Anitaverse that would answer prayers directed at false gods.....

You are correct however.  I have read very little Lovecraft.  The book I have, 'Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos Volume 1  contains only about 30 pages by Lovecraft.  The rest is by Robert E Howard (Did you know Conan was part of the Cthulhu mythology?) Clark Ashton Smith and Frank Belnap Long......

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Morvala on

I've made it a point to actualy not read any work by the people who have written themselves into the Cthulhu Mythos. Not that I won't eventualy, Lovecraft himself wrote his stories into the worlds of his fellow writers so I can't hold it against them. I just want to read Lovecraft right now though, and not just stories in his setting. I'd recomend A Shadow over Innsmouth as a good Lovecraft work if you likes suspense and twists.

I would consider having the person pray to Dagon, or Cthulhu, or one of the many other gods, but who in their right mind would actualy try to pray to a fictional character to find out if the results work or not?

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board

You'd be surprised how many people seem to think Lovecraft was taking existing mythology and expanding on it.
