{V:tM - IC} New York by Night

[Vychtorya]

Vychtorya politely excuses herself from the good company of Mazz and Hellene. Vych graciously places slightly warm kisses on Hellene's cheeks and then on Mazz's.

T'was good to see you both again. Do enjoy yourselves this eve. 'Tis proving to be most interesting.

Vychtorya casually looks about the room noticing more people have arrived while others of note have left (for the time being she assumes).

Originally posted by Catulle "I must thank you for your work - Valentine's certainly outdone himself by booking you. And your band, of course. You simply must put me in touch with your agent."

Caitlyn coloured only slightly at the praise. "We...don't have an agent really. I've been sort of responsible for getting alot of our gigs." Her eyes lit up like twin dark stars at the thought of more work, more exposure for her songs. "But I would welcome any requests from you."

Diving into the small evening reticle strapped to her wrist, she pulled out a business card, a carefully done piece of artwork that she had spent more than she really could afford in order to present a good impression. Offering it to Morgan with a smile, she added, "And if you ever need to find me, I live right across the hall from Max with my roommate."

Nikolai
Qadir remained silent for a time then finally said, "Why do you have interest in accompanying on my patrols young worlock?" The question was simple, yet direct. "It is unusual that one of your house would be interested in such things."

Yeah, well..... as you probably guessed, I'm not like some of my House.
While I enjoy a good book as much as the next guy, I like to practice some of that book knowledge in real-world application, if you catch my drift.

Let's just say I'm a hands-on learner...

And you have an open offer from me ; I will lend my meager sorcerous skills to your sorties, if you but ask.
I have the learned the Fifth Chantry's signature spell - the ability to track the location of a known target.
If you are in need of such information about an individual, you know who to ask..."

 

[Catulle]

Gabriel and Valentine

The Ventrue studied Gabriel closely, appraisingly, perhaps. "Do pass along my respects when you see her again, won't you?. Of course, if you need any assistance I'll be available." He gestured expansively across the room and the Kindred assembled within, "I doubt I shall be required to do much other than play host. Perhaps recover my singer from dear Morgan." He added, his brow creasing slightly at the last.

_____________

Hellene, Mazz and Vychtorya

Hellene responded with perfect etiquette to Vychtorya's departure - the very image of the lady at court. "Do take care of yourself, dear. I look forward to talking again in the future, and I'm sure Stephen does, too."

Mazz rolled his eyeballs at the name's mention and threw Vychtorya a broad grin as he eased himself further into his chair. "I think so. May I call you Vych in future?" He tilted his head to one side, his smile now reaching his eyes.

(Vychtorya - Per/Alertness - 6, 3, 2 - 1 success) She glimpsed motion out of the corner of her eye - her sire and another (she wasn't sure who) approaching her.

_____________

Caitlyn, Max and Morgan

Morgan took the card with a cool smile, flipping it in her fingers to read the detail and sliding it into her bag with a single fluid movement. "Well, as it happens I recently acquired a club in Bensonhurst. I'd need a great band to frontline at opening. Maybe I could drop around some time to discuss the possibilities?" One eyebrow arched questioningly "Given you're new on the scene too, we could be discovered together."

_____________

Nikolai and Qadir

Qadir nodded, an almost imperceptable movenent of his head. "Perhaps you are correct. My sources tell me that I may have business to attend to in the near future. If this proves to be true, I may call on you then." His cold gaze followed Jemal and Sabrina across the room (Nikolai - Per/Empathy automatic success) . It was not difficult to follow the sheriff's line of thought from earlier. His panning ceased abruptly on Valentine and the leather-clad newcomer. "Tremere, isn't he - one of Ms Strubridge's fellows, no?"

(Nikolai - Int/Occult - 10, 7, 6, 4, 1, reroll 3 - 2 successes) Looking at the newcomer, Nikolai's blood almost froze, a palpable rather than emotional sensation, at the sight of the ensorcelled mark that stood out to his eyes on the Kindred's brow. The Mark of the Betrayer, while known to him, was totally unexpected in such genteel surroundings.

 

[Catulle]

Jemal and Sabrina

The foyer outside the function room was quite deserted, though well-lit. The hum of conversation within was audible, as were the sounds of the band backstage clearing away their equipment. No doubt, the doormen were minding their own business downstairs.

Two siblings, hand in hand and almost totally alone for the first time since Sabrina's 'incident'.

 

[KitanaVorr]

"I'd love to open your club, Ms. Thepclay," Caitlyn agreed with delight. Her mind already began to work on songs that would be perfect. "Um, but my apartment is pretty small." Mostly a closet, she thought wryly. "But there's the quiet cafe just downstairs...it would be a great place to meet and talk. I can be reached any time at that number. Its my cell."

Her eyes passed briefly over to Max as if to say thanks for presenting her with this great opportunity. It was strange. Every since she got to New York, everything had been rough. Starts she had thought would have thrown her into the big time, fizzled out. Maybe this was her lucky day and perhaps this opportunity would finally pan out.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Max smiles, glad to have done his good deed for the evening.

Or does it count as two separate deeds, rescuing the damsel in distress and then getting her access to some good opportunities? I wonder if she likes me? Probably best not to think on that. Being a vampire and all would cause complications, best to just remain friendly, keep her under my wing seeing as she's getting drawn into our world. I'll find a nice vampire girl who likes me eventually. I think tonight has gone well, she might be a bit suspicious but at least she isn't a meal. Speaking of meals I should get some pizza on the way home I feel like a pizza, and maybe just a little drink... she has that affect on me... damn.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Gabriel and Valentine

The Ventrue studied Gabriel closely, appraisingly, perhaps. "Do pass along my respects when you see her again, won't you?. Of course, if you need any assistance I'll be available." He gestured expansively across the room and the Kindred assembled within, "I doubt I shall be required to do much other than play host. Perhaps recover my singer from dear Morgan." He added, his brow creasing slightly at the last.

"You might want to keep a close eye on her Val. There are a lot of hungry looks in the room." As he looked at the young woman, he felt his own hunger begin to grow.

[OOC: Do I see Nikolai looking at me? How much blood do I have in me?]

 

[Catulle]

(Nikolai - Man/Subterfuge - 10, 9, 8, 7, 7, 5, 2, 2 - 5 successes)

(Gabriel - Per/Subterfuge - 9, 4, 4, 2 - 1 success)

If he had been alive, Nicholai might have breathed a sigh of relief. Despite his start, the other seemed rapt in conversation with Valentine and had - hopefully - not noticed his scrutiny.

 

[KitanaVorr]

Now settled in with a good prospect, Caitlyn briefly glanced around the room to look for her current employer. Did he like her performance? Perhaps she should say something to Mr. Valentine, speak with him. He had hired the Kindred Knights for the night. Maybe he'd know if this Morgan Thepclay was for real.

She noticed the man standing next to him with the cane. A cane? How strange.

[Does she notice them looking? If so then she'll smile at them, friendly-like.]
