Vampire: The Masquerade - Who Wants To Live Forever?

OOC: *groans* I was writing such a long post, and then I accidentally lost it when I shut my computer to talk to a certain boyfriend who interrupted my writing...

Clover was not happy about any of this, and she felt anger begin to well up inside of her at Victoria's condescending and presumptuous tone. Of course she knew better than to say anything, but Clover was less-than-impressed by Victoria's treatment of Lacey, and by the little "mission" she felt compelled to set on them. She had no intention of working with the womanizing butt-kisser Alex, or that fool Meredith who clearly couldn't see just what kind of devil she was trying to impress with her compliance.

Glancing sidelong at Koln for a moment, Clover finally stood slowly and smoothed down her skirt; appearing calm and serene. She stepped forward with clipped footsteps, coming to stand even with Alex and Meredith while paying neither of them the slightest bit of attention. She bowed her head slightly in deference, then raised it to meet Victoria's gaze with even confidence and respect, "Ms. St. John, my name is Angelica and this is my companion, Koln. We were embraced in Denver last year. However, we found that we were unable to continue our normal lifestyles in that city due to the new nature of our condition. At Lacey's suggestion, we relocated here in the hopes of beginning with a blank slate in our new existence. With regard to our respect of the Camarilla and the Masquerade, we would have presented ourselves to you upon our arrival in this city, but I'm afraid we were unaware of your presence until last evening. Koln and I have kept to ourselves since our arrival in this city, and we certainly did not intend any sleight of your rule."

She bowed her head again respectfully, then turned to indicate Lacey, "Also, Prince Victoria, if I may be so bold in saying so, though I understand you have little reason to trust my word having only just met, Lacey was with me all last evening and even spent her dormancy with Koln and myself in our apartment. I can vouch that from the time of your coronation on she was always within my sights. Our friend Lacey is many things, but a cold killer is not one of them." She inclined her head slightly.

"Well Angelica." Victoria says smoothly. "I would not expect you to have presented yourself to me sooner than tonight. The gathering I held last night was in hopes that young vampires such as yourselves would learn of me and come to meet me. I am pleased to see that you took up my offer. On the topic of our dear friend Lacey though. I agree that it is doubtful that she is the one who murdered Grout, however, we must find out who did and she is the one who was closest to him. If you are to join Lacey, Meredith and Koln to the manor I wouldn't turn you away, in fact I would be most pleased. We need some high-spirited young bloods in this city!"

Victoria goes and sits behind her desk and says "Now, if you would please excuse me. I have other matters to attend to. Alex, please get Nicolai and come back here so we can talk."

 

[Alex Navian]

"Now, if you would please excuse me. I have other matters to attend to. Alex, please get Nicolai and come back here so we can talk."

Alex bows slightly "As you wish my Prince."

Alex then gives Lacey a Reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before turning to leave. As he turns to leave he whispers to Clover "Thanks for sticking up for Lacey... please keep her safe." Then Alex Leaves to find Nicolai.

 

[Strider_Koln]

As they're walking out, Koln whispers to Meredith, "Mon ami, confess how you did it. How did you be in two places at the same time. And when exactly did you sign the Devil's book?"

As they're walking out, Koln whispers to Meredith, "Mon ami, confess how you did it. How did you be in two places at the same time. And when exactly did you sign the Devil's book?"

Meredith eyes Koln a bit annoyed, waits until the door to the Princes office shuts behind them and they walk a few feet than slowly turns to Koln. "I do appreciate your faith in my abilities Koln. But I did not kill the man and why in the world would you think that I did?" She says with her arms crossed.

Alex bows slightly "As you wish my Prince."

Alex then gives Lacey a Reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before turning to leave. As he turns to leave he whispers to Clover "Thanks for sticking up for Lacey... please keep her safe." Then Alex Leaves to find Nicolai.

Lacey gives Alex a delighted smile as he leaves. She says "Ok my Prince, we are off to see the wizard! Of course, we must find him and travel a merry trail to reach him first."

The group leaves Victoria's office and enters the elevator. Where this happens:

Meredith eyes Koln a bit annoyed, waits until the door to the Princes office shuts behind them and they walk a few feet than slowly turns to Koln. "I do appreciate your faith in my abilities Koln. But I did not kill the man and why in the world would you think that I did?" She says with her arms crossed.

You can talk amongst yourselves but when you get to the car Lacey asks "Are we well equipped for the perils ahead? I'm afraid I don't have my boomstick with me tonight."

 

[Strider_Koln]

Meredith eyes Koln a bit annoyed, waits until the door to the Princes office shuts behind them and they walk a few feet than slowly turns to Koln. "I do appreciate your faith in my abilities Koln. But I did not kill the man and why in the world would you think that I did?" She says with her arms crossed.

"Ah rest-assured, Green Marie. I have absolutely NO faith in your abilities, but 421% faith in Our Lord's abilities! As for why I suspect you. It is simple. It HAS to be you. If not then... then... Oh...Oh! I have just seen the end of this chapter. Forgive me mon ami, I was mistaken after All."

Lacey: "Turnip turnip I miss my boomstick!"

"Ahh do not fret! Ask! And if your faith is true, you shall receive!" Koln announces triumphantly, as he walks to Lacey's truck to get his firegun (for him) and his boomstick (for Lacey). "Before we go to Chicago, Socrates wants to see where this is." Handing Lacey the driver's license he got from the dead ghoul.

"Before we go to Chicago, Socrates wants to see where this is." Handing Lacey the driver's license he got from the dead ghoul.

Lacey looks at the license turning it around and around in her hands. "Wow Koln, you look different, did you get a haircut?" Lacey looks at Socrates on Koln's shoulder, the rat stares at her silently giving her his disapproval. Lacey says "Oh of course, this isn't your license, it's not in German! Ok now it makes total sense! This is a soul that you have sent to the great beyond. Presumably on a christian ship. This license though, marks its home near my own apartment. Yup, just a few doors down. I always wanted to greet him with a jello mold to show I am a good neighbor but I could never find the right shape. What shape would your welcome jello be?"

Lacey gets into the truck and motions for everyone else to get in. "We're of the see the wizard! To Kansas everyone!"

 

[izillama]

As they all went to get into the truck, Clover practically elbowed her way past Meredith to claim the passenger seat, buckling herself in and settling in primly. She turned to the other girl with a disapproving arch of her eyebrow, "You can sit next to Koln. In the back." Ignoring any argument, she turned to Lacey and spoke dryly, "Do you think we could avoid smashing into any ninjas this time?" She couldn't help the little quirk of her lip at the end.

"Ah! Tres' bien!! We are seeing le Wizard! I know how to deal with wizards. Green Marie, do you have a lighter?"
