Tuesday April 21st 9:55 pm - Whitehern - Vic

Vic turns to look at Iggy with what could be called a grin, though it is hard to tell through the scars, upon his face "I will of course be available for Antigens admonishment as well"

[Hurricanus]

Tuesday April 21st 2156hrs - Whitehern -Lobo

"Thank you for those kind words.  It seems we will be busy for a while but next time I spot you I'll give a shout up.  We should take the time to get to know each other better."

[Hurricanus]

Tuesday April 21st 2156hrs - Whitehern -Iggy

Vic's reply at first shocked Iggy.  A moment's reflection to the previous night with Donna beating his face in though made him appreciate Vic a little more.  Some-one like himself that had no problem taking the punishment if such was necessary. 

"As we all must if we fail him, eh Vic."

 Tuesday April 21st 9:52 - 9:55pm - Whitehern - Nat & Waylon

"David told me not to take anything out of my purse because being vampires and all you might find it disturbing what I carry in there. But let me assure you I don't always carry this sort of thing in my tote. I just came prepared tonight in case there would be minor trouble. I knew I should have brought the bat!" She replied looking downcast.


"Would that be a baseball bat or a flying pet?" Waylon asked. "I'm sorry bad joke. What do you have in your tote that a vampire would be terrified of? A crucifix and some holy water?"

"I had to really go off of movie and book stuff since depending on what you watch and read sometimes aren't the same. The only things I've seen that seem to be consistent are fire and sunlight. Look I will empty my bag if you promise to deal with the wrath of the Game Mas- I mean David." Des/Nat replied her hazel grey eyes flicked around the room looking to see if David had returned yet, her face was a mask of extreme seriousness.

I didn't know David was gay. "Hes not here right now and I may be wrong but I am fairly sure I can outrun him."

"That better not of been a short joke or I'll kick you in the nads. David is a wonderful guy and you really shouldn't cut him up for entertainment." Des chided defensively.

"Well it seems I'm batting a thousand tonight. Whats in the bag?"

Des/Nat sighed heavily and walked back over to the table and dumped her bag onto the table. "Ok one more comment that sucks and you're being benched pretty boy." She replied as she began sifting through the mountain of stuff. "Ok I have three stakes. Ine can of hair spray... One lighter... One zippo... A pair of handcuffs... A roll of ducttape. A penknife... Don't mind the dice they are for my other gaming group.... A notebook to keep notes about tonights stuff... Pens... A donzen pencils... a rubber... a pencil sharpener... Make up... A bag of twinkies... A can of mountain dew... a joe louis... umm... Phone numbers. A sock with pennies... three tooth picks... A pack of gum.  Six packets of salt two packets of pepper.  Four dinner mints... My wallet.... a mini flash light... Klennex... Um a mini first aid case cause you never know when you might need a band aid, a pair of scissors... and uh... a little sewing kit and yeah my ebay bussiness cards... but ignore them. "

"So you swing a bat Des.  Much the same style of fighting as myself.  Only I swing a 15 pound sledge hammer.  Just remember - brains on the floor kills most things including Sabbat."

"Cool I hope I get to hang with you and Emily that be cool. I'd feel a lot safer even if Emmy is a bitch sometimes." Nat replied offering Iggy a grin. "But I do love her honestly. We used to be Dorm mates back in Mohawk together."

Waylon looked at the pile with open astonishment. "I rest my case. I think McGuyver would be able to make an attomic bomb  out of what you have there. Almost everything is useful.  Sharpen those pencils and they would be as effective as a pine stake. I think you are well prepared. You have a flame thrower and - " he picked up a tube of dice, " - Caltrops,"

"Ok fair enough still... I need to know what rules you guys run by. Does staking kill the vampires and dust em or not?" Des asked looking thoughtful "Oh and should I zip by a church and pilfer some holy water? I have a friend that's Wiccan if she blessed it would that work? Cause I'm not catholic and its night and not Sunday so thats going to make getting Christian Holy water hard.."

Tuesday April 21st 9:56- 9:57 pm - Whitehern

Vic immediately composes himself "nothing so dramatic as that my dear Desdemona merely part of my penance, i do apologies if it has made you uncomfortable, though I do appreciate your concern" He wipes the blood on his foot off with his robe" glancing at Lobo "Yes I do believe I have seen you on the escarpment, though I don't believe we introduced ourselves at that time. I sometimes get overly focused inwards, I certainly appreciate your vigilance though" 

Des looked at the pile of stuff on the table and back up to Vic as she started putting it away. Penance... Oh shit ... Sorry about the church thing. I'm guessing you're religious? I didn't think Vampires could be religious. I thought God came down from the heavens and kinda gave them the middle finger and said Demon begone. Then there was light and all was not well for the vampires..."

Jallyn couldn't help but hear the comment and coughed politely. "I am still a practicing Catholic my dear. And it is never polite to talk about religion in situations like this, Des. I am sure at a later date Vic and yourself  can do into depth about those belief's if he and you agree on that."

"Wow so you can do that wine and wafer stuff? I thought Vampires couldn't eat food." nat replied sounding intrigued.

"You had twinkies and Joe Louis in yours so why not? Not every Kindred can eat food. Many get very ill if they try. Although the wafers do upset my stomach a bit it is well worth it." She paused and stopped herself realizing she was just adding to the religious discussion. Jallyn looked at her watch "Perhaps it would be wise to clean up that stuff before your Clan leader returns. They will be back in less than three minutes. Should we all take our seats perhaps?"


Nat looked down at the mess then at her watch. "Aww shit you are so right." And with that she began to scramble to put the chaotic collection of weapons of mass vampiric destruction back into her black tote of doom along with her energy boosting snacks.

[Hurricanus]

Tuesday April 21st 2157hrs - Whitehern - Lobo

Lobo listened to Desdemona and was lost.  What was this girl talking about.  Movies, books, crucifixes and dusting - what was she talking about.  Malkvians could drive anyone crazy with the way they talked. 

As Jallyn spoke of the time Lobo saw that the recess was almost up.  He was thankful that was the case.  With a nod to his fellows Lobo made his way back to is chair.

[pyro71976]

Tuesday April 21st 9:57 pm - Whitehern -Vic

Taking his seat "I would be willing to talk to you and more importantly listen whenever you wish, after this situation is dealt with Des"

[LadyJallyn]

Tuesday April 21st 9:57 pm - Whitehern -Vic

"That would be cool." Des chimed as she slowly finished putting her stuff away making sure that nothing would get crushed and that everything was accessible for later use. "Its like my mom always says "Its good to learn new things everyday. It makes you a better person."

Tuesday April 21st 9:58 - Whitehern - Fia

Fia rummaged through her purse and found her cellphone. Her phone had no bars. "Does anyone know where I could get some reception? Never mind," she said standing and walking to the front entrance.

While out front she dialed her work, a receptionist answered. "Hamilton SPCA. How may I direct your call?"

"Can I speak to Chuck, please?" Fia asked in her most polite voice.
"One moment, please," then the elevator music started.

Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near. Just like me, they long to be close to you...

Fia rolled her eyes and waited.

"Chuck Stern here." was the greeting.

"Hey Chuck, it's Fia," she pulled the phone from her mouth and made the most disgusting coughing phlegm sound, "Sorry about that, Chuck," she smirked without making it sound like she was smiling.

"Oh, God! You sound terrible and contagious! Don't come in tonight. You'll get us all sick!" he hollered into Fia's ear.

"I'm sorry, Chuck. I think it's the weather change," she whimpered, "I don't want to miss work, though."

"That's too bad. You're staying home tonight, Keep me posted on your recovery, alright? Now, go back to bed."

"Alright. I'll let you know how I'm feeling tomorrow. Good night, Chuck." Fia shook her head and chuckled silently.

"Good night, Fia. Take care of yourself." Click

Fia allowed herself to laugh out loud.

Fish... Barrel

She headed back inside and sat back at the table. "I called in sick so I'll be helping tonight."

Tuesday April 21st 9:58 - Whitehern - Emily

Emily just shook her head as she watched Nat. "Davids gonna murder me... Leave me nailed to a disgusting cross to slowly broil in the sunrise..." her over exaggeration took her back to the mirror, which she looked in again, reminding herself to suck it in. After a moment, she left the mirror and took her seat, sitting back beside Angel. "well, this may be interesting."

[Maxx]

Tuesday April 21st 9:58 - Whitehern - Waylon

"Don't go by what you see in Buffy,"  Waylon said.  "A stake through the heart will paralyze one of us until it is removed but it won't kill us and even there are brains on your bat it doesn't mean the vampire you just hit isn't going to take that bat out of your hands and put it so far up your butt that you'll be able to taste the wood.  Fire, sunlight and decapitation will kill us but there isn't a whole lot else that will do much more than slow us down.  Interestingly, if the blood we drop in laced with enough drugs, we can be affected by that but poisoning a vessel won't poison the vampire.  It looks like it's just about time for the powers that be to come back, so I'm going to head back to my chair.  You look well prepared, Des.  I'm sure you'll do fine."

[LadyJallyn]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern -

The doors to the meeting room opened and a woman in fine secretarial garb looked to the kindred in the room. For those that had ever been to a meeting with the Prince or had spent time with him to visit him at his haven, would know her as Chantal Du Charme, She was one of Antigen's loyal and long standing ghoul retainers.

"All please rise and pay your respects. The Prince of Hamilton and the Primogen council is arriving. " The plain looking brunet replied as she stood formally at the door holding it open.

[Maxx]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Angel

Angel rose to his feet.  He'd been pleased to see that he had become the central focus of activity in the room, with some people actually moving around the table to join the circle that surrounded him.  It made him feel good to see that people were seeming to automatically trust him as a leader, especially since ninety percent of the vampires in the city had stronger blood than he had.

He watched as others scrambled back to their seats, wondering what the Prince had decided and whether all the work they had just done was going to prove to be pointless.

[Maxx]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Waylon

The Toreador didn't have to stand.  He'd just reached his seat when the Prince's ghoul announced his arrival.  He stood stock still, frozen like a statue, waiting for the council of clan elders to enter and take their seats.  He couldn't help but look at the hole in the wall, however.  It would likely be noted but not mentioned until afterward.  He made a mental note to offer to pay for the damage since, even if indirectly, the hole was at least partially his fault.

[SilverMist]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Papillion Framboise

Noting the time the Toreador had made it back to her seat just a moment before Chantal announced the Prince's entrance. As she stood she suddenly felt slightly apprehensive as her seat was so close to Antigen's spot.
Decorum, decorum decorum. Don't space out again. She repeated in her head like a mantra.

[thatredhead]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Emily

Emily had stood instantly after Chantal finished her introduction. Her hands were neatly placed infront of her, her stomach sucked in as much as she was capable of giving her cheeks a rosy glow in the process aswell. she did her best to put on a warm smile even if it was a serious time.

[LadyJallyn]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - In the Princes Meeting Room

The other Kindred began to stand. Nat looked around curiously thinking that it has a similar feel to like she was on an episode of Judge Judy but she couldn't help but feel that maybe, just maybe by the end of the night she would feel like she had this style of game down.

She was honestly trying her best to get used to it but so far it had been kind of boring. Well maybe not boring but definitely slow moving.

Vincent Rose from his chair and gave the Princes retainer a nod of thanks for the heads up.

Scott and Babadora stood up only a second after Vincent had the trio had just split up before hand to return to their chairs before the announcement of the princes arrival.  Scott unconsciously straightened his jacket while Babadora stared at the doors, her storm cloud colored eyes sparkled intently as she waited for the Arrival of her Master.

Chantal moved to open the second of the heavy walnut double doors after having locked the first one in place.

[Hurricanus]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Iggy

Chantal's movement to the second set of doors gave Iggy the time he neded to finish getting back to his seat.  Her entrance had him at the Prince's throne. 

Quickly returning his look to the doors he caught the doors last movement.

[The True Ginger Ninja]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Fia

Fia stood and turned towards the door. She ran her fingers through her hair and ran a finger over her lips to smooth her lip gloss.

Finally! I thought I'd never get to see him.

[pyro71976]

Tuesday April 21st 9:59 - Whitehern - Vic

Vic rises from his seat, his cilice tightening painfully around his thigh as he did. With a smile he awaits the arrival of the Prince.

[LadyJallyn]

Tuesday April 21st 10- 10:11pm  - Whitehern - In the Princes Meeting Room

It was only a few seconds later that the seated group heard the footsteps of their respective clan leaders coming down the basement stairs.

The first to enter was Helen, followed by David, then Sarah, Spider was next to enter. Not far on his heals was Donna, and then Mark, and then finally the Prince entered.

Antigen was dressed in a finely tailored Slate grey suit with matching vest. The blond haired blue eyed Tremere made his way to the head of his table and sat down as everyone else remained standing.

"Please be seated." The prince began as he looked across the room and paused for only the briefest of seconds his azure blue eyes noting the hole that had been punched in his meeting room wall. The last twenty minutes up in the parlor had been difficult. All of the clan leaders were the first to sit. Their faces were expressionless and cold like were like carved marble, they gave nothing away. But that news would have to wait about what was discussed upstairs.

He spoke his voice Crisp and clear "Thank you for all joining me tonight, although this meeting is not a social call. I assume you have all had a chance in the past half hour to take a look at the photographs and that Mark has told you about the Sabbat threat."

There were nods from all around the table.

He cleared his throat and nodded to Chantal who gave the Prince a bow and closed to move the doors. Once the doors were closed and the sound of Chantal's footsteps vanished from ear range Antigen continued. "I was late and not present earlier because I was in conference with the Prince of Burlington. It appears that they are currently under siege by the Sabbat.

What we first thought might have been a daring stunt meant to ruffle our feathers, and by that I mean the body that was found in Bayfront Park by one of Mr. Angelino's servants is actually more than that. Apparently roughly a month ago there were a few mysterious deaths they thought nothing of it since Kine do have a way of dying and somethings in tragic ways, but two weeks ago they found a similar body that had been cut up. I had a chance to study the photographs but not the body since it had been disposed of but the knife work is no doubt the same as the one found on our John Doe, who apparently is a Oakville/Burlington resident. The body found in Burlington did not have any messages carved into it but did also have several puncture wounds from where they had been fed upon, the murders or murder obviously wanting to make a statement. However there was an increase in Graffiti out in their city and two messages had been spray painted on both the Mapleview and Burlington Mall walls out in the parking lot. One was the same as one on John Doe the other one was similar but the hand writing on both messages were very similar.  At first Burlington didn't pay attention to it wondering if perhaps it was a prank by the Caitfiff or a possible Sabbat initiation to go into the their city and deface something but over the past week they have seen much in the way of Sabbat activity."

Antigen was silent for a moment as he collected his thoughts. "They didn't call to warn us because they thought they had everything under control. After all it was likely a small party of young Sabbat members out raising hell. But while on the hunt for them the came to learn that the small party they had been trying to hunt down was now undeniably a scouting party. They lost that party 4 days ago and havent been able to find them. Three days ago more Sabbat came into their city. They lost William Banks, one of their younger Toreador artists in an altercation.  But they didn't call us because they didn't want to lose face and thought they still had everything under control. Suddenly over the past couple days they have come to realize they have a large number of Sabbat in their backyard and only now felt the need to tell me that things are bad. Last night they lost several kindred that were of strong blood. To make matters worse the Sabbat have been running around killing kine left right and center. If any of you read the paper I'm sure over the past few days you have noticed several articles about people in accidents or households that have been breached and the entire families slaughtered. That was in todays paper if you have not yet seen it by the way. The police are linking it to occultists. "

Antigen shook his head "We are now in danger. Burlington is a war zone right now and these pictures we have in front of us are proof that the Sabbat are in our city. There have been no attacks as of yet. But I did want to let you know that since Monday morning there have been 3 deaths here. Just this morning two teenage kids out late at night that had an accident in the north end out by the train tracks.   And then we have Mr. Doe here in Bayfront park. I have reason to suspect from the police report and evidence gathered at the scene of the crime that the boys were fleeing something or someone and were likely killed and their bodies tossed in front of the train. More than likely what ever Sabbat we have in the city at this time was choosing to hide the fact that they were feeding. If two boys were involved. We know from experience that a fully grown kine can sustain one Kindred for and indefinite period of time if they are just wanting to survive. However Sabbat tend to feed until sated. It wouldn't make sense for one Kindred to have killed two boys. "

The Prince shrugged. "Likely they are keeping themselves relatively full. Or only killing every couple of days. But we haven't received any reports of traumatic deaths other than these past three. Mr. Doe was found with little less than a pint of blood left in his system. My guess is we have anywhere from three to possibly half a dozen Sabbat Members out there on the loose. We need to find them and fast. If we do not make a display of being out in public and show that are numbers are strong, they will be upon us and if Burlington is any indicator of that we have less than two weeks to do so, and that is being generous. The fact is Burlinton is losing the war. We are,and forgive my rudeness, in a world of shit, if they steam roll over Burlington. As it is they are buying us some time. In exchange for that time they have requested assistance since they have lost Five kindred this week. Donna, Helen, David, and Spider have agreed to go into Burlington to help our brethren and try to buy us more time. The rest of the clan leaders will stay behind to help fortify the city. You are expected at Burlington's Elysium  for no later than midnight. This should give you ample time to go your haven's to make whatever arrangements are needed before you head out."

There were several people at the table starting to look more worried, Antigen was glad of it. Worried meant they were taking this seriously. "The Other Clan leaders have been assigned different ways to protect the city and will be doing so. As for you younger Kindred I have important need of you as well. We will be creating our our scouting parties and I feel I need not say this but I will. Whatever plans you had this week put on the burner. The masquerade is important and I want you all to do your best to not break it when it comes time to fight the Sabbat. However if there is no other option and a public confrontation does occur try your hardest not to harm the citizens of this city. The Kine will likely be caught in the cross fire. If you have jobs as a way of supporting yourselves or holiday pay that is due, I suggest you make the arrangements to use your sick days or take some holidays because as of officially tonight you are going to be booked solid for at least a week. In the end a job won't matter if you are dead or the city is in ruins."

[LadyJallyn]

TY in advance.

Tuesday April 21st 10:11pm  - Whitehern - In the Princes Meeting Room - Angel

"We came to much the same conclusion ourselves, without all the details, my Prince,"  Angel said.  "Although I'm sure you have your own ideas as to how you wish to proceed, we have been discussing options and plans ourselves.  Did you have specific groups in mind or have you yet to make those decisions?"

[LadyJallyn]

Tuesday April 21st 10:13pm  - Whitehern - In the Princes Meeting Room - Antigen 'Prince of Hamilton'

"Yes Mr. Angelino, the clan elders and I have already arranged the groups that we will be putting you into. Despite this being a serious matter it might be for the best anyhow. It will likely give you a chance to work and finally get to know all of the Kindred in the city. There will be rotating groups. Every few days you will have a different group of fellow Kindred to work with. I am not assigning a leader title to each group, but I expect everyone to work together without squabbles.  If I hear that there is any serious infighting and this comes back to me I will be displeased."

His attention turned to Sarah "Sarah I'm dismissing you now to go out into Flamborough to make contact with the Black Fury's and see if they will assist us at all. Because we have a tentetive truce with them I think it is a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The dislike the Sabbat even more so than us, so let us hope that you return to us with positive results."

"As you wish, My Prince.' Sarah replied as she stood and offered him a bow. She soon donned her black out back jacket and with a final nod and long glance over at her fellow Gangrels she left the room without making a sound even managing to close the door behind herself with it making any loud noise.

Tuesday April 21st 9:45-10:13pm  - Whitehern - In the Princes Meeting Room - Athial

Athial just sat and listened to the others calculate a plan that wouldn't matter. "What are they trying to do? Antigen will end up telling us to do anyways. Ya united we are! rwar! we are all so tough. And christ we have enough Aura readers or what" She thought to herself while watching the group. "oooooh Antigen is soooo not gonna like that hole in his wall. I wonder if thats one of those glaring Mask plus ones" She grinned slightly to herself not feeding into Lobo's rage more then it already was. When Chantal made an appearance Athial already made her way to her feet she knew it meant Anitgen was on his way. she stood proudly and if were she a dog her tail would of been wagging behind her awaiting her master to come. She sat when told to and watched him intently concentrating on the words he spoke.
