Doug nodded, thinking to himself, he's asking reasonable questions, thats good.
"Well we have wildlife, livestock, domestic pets or the pound. I'd recommend livestock or wildlife personally, I really like dogs but if you have a place to take care of a few big dogs they are a convenient, sustainable source of blood", he glanced at Donna, "I'd prefer wildlife if we can find some places around here to hunt anything deer-sized or larger without wandering into wolf territory and if not that then cattle." Looking back at Mike, he said, "And when I say wolf, I'm talking about Werewolves; yes, they exist as well, and they are something that you are almost certainly never, ever want to meet. We're going to show you how powerful you've become and it will seem incredible but it doesn't hold a candle to them. No one sane wants to tangle even with a pup. Combine this with the almost pathological hatred of vampires and we stay clear of their territory if there is any choice. If you were indulging in the, 'Intelligent Design', theory, you'd probably come to the conclusion that they were created as check on kindred. There are a lot of them in Canada in general and a pack of Black Furies near some of our possible hunting area."

"Yeah werewolves are badass. They can and will definitely fuck your shit up. Me being an elder on the council I still dont like to mess with them. One on one it would be interesting to see who would win I'd like to stay myself but they hit hard and those claws of theirs can gut you in the blink of an eye oh and we cant heal them like we can normal damage it can take weeks or even months to recover from a werewolf mauling. You know... Despite the fact that the Gangrel don't like to be bothered it might be wise to ask the Gangrel if they know of any places. I may be your leader but I am not all knowing. I stick to the city and don't venture out of here. I know Flamborough is werewolf territory large back of Greek lesbo bitches that roam around up there and they pretty much will eat the face of any kindred they catch hunting around up there. But maybe Sara or Fia or the Asian broad will know where you can go without kicking up a fuss. We have a mutual understanding with them they stay out of the city and we stay out of the boonies its worked so far. If they come into the city and we catch em they know we will make sure they dont come back and vice versa. So they tend to do what needs to be done in the city while we sleep and only a very select few get to joys of venturing into the sticks. Pretty much the only clans that seem to get away with it are Gangrel and thats due to the fact that they both seem to be animal loving tree huggers. Gangrel tend to prefer the company and solitary country life as aboposed to the politics and hustle and bustle of the city. Its pretty rare to find them content to live in the city. We likely have had Gangrel in the city due to Dundas its a small town and right on the edge of the country side so they can still enjoy their privacy and commune with mother nature." Donna explained.

"If they're willing I'd take the information. If you have their number I will check with them tomorrow night. In the meantime, we do have the African Lion Safari. Plenty of space, and large animals. Get a large enough one and in the morning they will be fine other than just a little tired."

Dana pointed over to where Sara and Fia were still conversing, saying their farewells. "Well...Ain't that two of em?" She said with a shrug. "Why leave til tomorrow what you can do this second?"

"If not you can try your luck hunting on the rail trail for deer or smaller things. Or Hes likely going to hate it but Mikes not had a great deal of exposure to human blood he might be able to stomach it you could see about going to a butcher and buying blood there. As what Dana said chick is right  I think thats Sara and Fia at the far end of the lot over there. Thats two of the three Gangrel we got left in this city."

"Honestly, I just thought I'd let them alone tonight cause it's not every day you get one of your clan judged on charges of diablary followed by your clan primogen walking away like that and this could take more than a minute or two. We have the safari place for tonight - I'm assuming that you haven't yet eaten tonight, Mike, is that correct?"

"I was given a mug of something before I was loaded into a truck and brought here. Needless to say being staked down to the green was something I would not want to repeat like ever."


Donna nodded. "Kindred law is swift and without mercy most times. It has to be to ensure our survival. Truth be told the Prince we have ruling over the city is extremely leniant in compared to some. I'm sure Doug could tell you stories about some of the cities hes been to. Its not everyday you got a Tremere running things let alone a prince that doesnt rule with an iron fist."

"So Mr. Lewich as you guys were calling him or Antigen is the Prince of the city so hes like ancient royalty or something?" Mike asked.

"Fia?"  The Ventrue announced his arrival with the question, just in case the Gangrel were having a private meeting.  "I just thought you might want to have a word with Chaz before I hustle him off into seclusion."

Health= 5/7 BP=6/12, WP=5/5 HUM=7/7 SC=3/3

Fia was startled. She threw a tepid glance to Sarah. So soon? Fia looked hard at her, trying to find a loophole in her face that would make her stay. There was none.

"Would you believe me if I said it was nice?"

Angel had brought her back to the moment. She had completely forgotten about Chaz.

"Chaz... Oh, ummm," she stammered as she searched for what to say to the guy, "Yeah. I should talk to him."

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 3:26am - Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club House -Sara


Sarah took one long look at Angel and Chaz and noted that Grigor and Morgan were hovering close nearby. She sniffed the air as if something unpleasant hung in the spring air. "If you need anything before I go I'll be back at my property salvaging whatever was left from the fire that I can."

Those were the only parting words to Fia. Sara climbed into her pick up and turned the truck on letting it idle as she turned on the heat and let the truck warm. She wasn't about to just up and leave in case things got hairy between anyone.

Chaz watched the exchange and stood a bit straighter as Fia called her attention to him. He offered her a warm but boyish smile as he waited for Angel to give him the okay to get a bit closer.

"It will take a few minutes to rearrange seating," Angel said.  "We have one more leaving than we did coming.  I can't swear as to how much time you have but you'll have a bit anyway.  And it won't be forever."

The Ventrue looked at Sara.  He moved over and extended a hand through her truck window.  "I'll be sorry to see you go," he said.  "You're leaving big shoes to fill.  I can't see anyone filling them any time soon.  But that isn't going to make you stay, is it?"  He sighed and shook his head, a very human gesture.  "Good luck," he said. "Now, is it just me or does everyone seem to have something against the Ventrue?"

Health= 5/7 BP=6/12, WP=5/5 HUM=7/7 SC=3/3

She nodded but, Fia felt as awkward as she looked, standing half-bent, like she'd just gotten the rolled paper across the nose. As much as it hurt, she shook herself out of it, or at least forced it back, deep into her mind so she didn't have to think about it yet.

"Chaz," She managed a smile for him. It wasn't her best, but 75% was enough, "I'm glad you made it through tonight."

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 - 3:27am - Clan Gangrel - Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Sara

The clan leader looked at Angel sizing him up for almost a full minute before he spoke. "Not everyone but your clan has increased in size." Sara replied carefully. "I'm just being smart and getting out in case there's a shift in power.  The Prince is down to one clan mate and  shes not even a old one at that. I don't like the looks of it. You ventrue can help but inch your way towards the power and cant ever let well enough alone. Your clan has been notoriously known in the past to ask us to sacrifice things when it was in need with little regard to Clan Gangrel we are after all just a step up from being beasts so whats wrong with a few broken eggs to make a glorious Ventrue omelet?  Your head of clan is ambitious to the core and i can only hope he doesnt try to expand his horizons any time soon but I cannot be certain of that. So in answer to your question yes there are some of us that despise your clan for that. Truly I wont be missed you and I both know that so let us part ways and false pretenses young one. If you wish to prove me wrong hold your tongue and open your eyes and watch. Mention nothing of this exchange with the others.  You are young  Angel but you will learn by observing. "

Angel frowned and leaned closer.  "You really think Mark would step up?  Take a good look at us, Sara.  A stripper.  A music producer.  A construction foreman.  A nutbar who is more Malkavian than some of the Malkavians.  A banker.  Four newbies and most of us less than a decade old.  That isn't enough of a powerbase to make any kind of move.  Mark isn't that stupid. Or do you know something you aren't going to tell me?"  Angel chuckled.  "Probably.  I'm always the last to know what's going on.  I do wish you luck, though and I think your two Clanmates are going to be lost without you.  I don't think either of them is ready to step up.  Antigen can't deny one of them a spot on the council though.  There are only two Nosferatu and they have one." 

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 3:30  am - Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Sara

Sara looked at Angel and was silent for a few seconds. Stupid ignorant kindred... He thinks he understands everything. Ah to be that young again. "You will find that my early departure and Fias actions have done enough damage to make sure that Clan Gangrel never sees a seat on the council anytime soon. I'd like to say good luck but you seem content and confident enough that you need no words of encouragement from me. For what its worth thank you for helping out Fia."

The Gangrel elder revved her truck some feeling the heat finally fill the cab. Having the window down made it harder to keep it warm in there but the young ventrue would eventually wander off to bother someone else.

"Chaz," She managed a smile for him. It wasn't her best, but 75% was enough, "I'm glad you made it through tonight."

"Hey there." Chaz replied his expression still pleased to see her. He took her hands in his. "Its good to see you Fia. And even better to find out that you are well. I missed you."

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 - 3:25am - Clan Gangrel - Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Rene

Rene had sat in the board room beside Allan and watched as those that had judged to let her live walked out. She slowly trailed behind Allan not entirely sure of what to do. "Do you think we could drop by my parents place so I can grab a few things? I mean if thats not too much to ask for?"

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 - 3:25am -  Leaving Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Antigen

The Prince eased into the back of the limo his apprentice Athial and Seth Delvecchio climbed in.

The Tremere instructed his driver to leave the lot and the three were motionless and still as the car drove down the darkened road.

"Will you be fine with accompanying us as far as whitehern to take a cab to your haven or would you like my driver to drop you off once Seth and I have returned to whitehern Athail?"

Alan tried to focus on the rest of the meeting and what was being said but it was difficult to do with the uproar in his head. He was furious with Myrddin, and it was going to be a cold day in hell before he let him out again in the near future, and the cacophony in his head coming from all sides wasn't helping anything.
It had subsided a bit by the time the meeting was adjourned and gave a smile and a nod to Rene, saying, "Let's get out of here."
As they reached the parking lot, turning to tell Rene which car was his, Rene asked her question, and he realized he was very glad that there was still a decent part of the evening left because he had a lot of explaining to do and had no idea what she already knew.
He tried to give her a reassuring smile and asked, "Let's talk about it on the way to the car, it's that Hummer, right over there", "as they walked he asked, "So do you still live with your parent's then?"

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 3:25 am - Hamilton Golf and Country Club Parking Lot - Rene

The setite nodded. "Yeah I do. I was coming back home from my latest coven meeting but yeah I was jumped and then they did this to me. The next thing I remember is Im didnt my way out from under the dirt and I'm in the middle of nowhere actually I was near the drive in out on the border. I walked back into the city but alot of it was a blur. But then i had a van pick me up and pull me in it was the same asshole that had jumped me. I was starving and stuff and they threw me in the Henderson Hospital. I dont really remember that all to well but shit... I was gone for a while my parents are probably super worried about me. Likely they filed a missing persons report I just want to drop by and let them know I'm ok if thats alright with you sir."

Health= 5/7 BP=6/12, WP=5/5 HUM=7/7 SC=3/3

She was all smiles for Chaz, but couldn't help but notice the Ventrue talking to Sarah. If she wasn't trying to survive in the city, she'd give him what-for.

He'll do it to himself. Yeah, he stood for me, but not for me. It was all a show anyway. I might not even stay to watch. I don't actually plan on eating more people, so I got this spell thing. Just means I'll have to ride a desk.

"Sorry for the whole 'staked to the green' thing. I couldn't really help you there. Aside from that, how've you been. Did they hurt you excessively?"

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 - 3:25am -  Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Chaz

"I wouldn't say hurt per se. I mean there was that woman the older blonde one that was there for part of it. She asked me a lot of questions as did Mr. Lewich. From the way they were grilling me I was smart enough to know not to lie about anything. I was as co operative as I could be." He let go of her hands but it was a reluctant parting. His dark eyes looked her up and down as he tried to answer her question.

"I'm trying to adjust to things. I find I'm hungry enough all I think about is getting a fix of the good stuff. So far what I've been fed while being the Prince's guest was not good stuff. Everything I've had up until now has paled in compasion to what lays beneath the surface." he reached out and gently brushed her wrist. "Not that I'm asking or anything but yeah you are hard to get out of my head. I've been wondering if we would meet up again. With the fact that Ive been permitted to live you and are are definitely going to have to have an evening together alone... with out him..." He looked over at Angel who was leaning against Saras truck talking to the gangrel leader.

Fia's eyes followed Chaz's to Angel. Ding. Cockblock.

"I getcha," she winked, "Unless there's another trial by fire soon, my schedule's pretty free. You do have my number. I'm sure I can help you stave that hunger."

[LadyJallyn]

Sunday, May 9th, 1999 - 3:26am -  Hamilton Golf and Country Club Club Parking lot - Chaz

Chaz gave her another grin flashing white teeth and let out a soft laugh. It was warm and inviting. "I committed it to heart. Seriously though you don't think it would be a problem. Angel and the others seem to think I might loose my cool but I'm sure if I was with you I'd be pretty safe. You wouldn't let me do anything that I shouldn't."

Health= 5/7 BP=6/12, WP=5/5 HUM=7/7 SC=3/3

Heh. Wouldn't I? I can think of a few things I would let you do right now...

"I'm sure you'll be just fine," Fia sighed, fully aware that she was still mangled and covered in blood. "We should do the coffee thing, though. My reputation can't get any blacker."
