{V:tM - IC} New York by Night

[Catulle]

Jemal and Sabrina

"No, pet, it needn't hurt anybody." Jemal's voice was quiet, reassuring. Taking his sister by the hand, he Sabrina through deserted hallways downstairs towards the garage level, where Uncle Nathan's car awaited. It was a very comfortable car, as Sabrina recalled from the drive over, with two men to drive it (why a car needed two drivers, she couldn't think, though it was very big).

 

[KitanaVorr]

Amazing. Caitlyn could not take her eyes off the other woman. Was it possible that anyone could be that beautiful? Ms Fayrchyld was even more striking close up than when she had noticed her earlier from afar. All that red hair and pale skin definitely distracted the eye from anything else in the vicinity.

Extending her hand in welcome, the singer smiled warmly at the other woman. "Caitlyn Tran," she introduced herself in that luxurious voice that Vychtorya remembered from earlier. "I am the lead singer and guitarist for the Kindred Knights. Its an absolute pleasure at meeting you. I hoped you liked our performance."

 

[Shalimar]

"That's good." She said, somewhat mollified. her feet were barely touching the ground as she skipped along to Jemal's longer stride. Her lovely voice was humming the words to her favorite cartoon show as she wondered where she was being taken to make her better.

I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause.
I will travel across the land, searching far and wide.
Each pokémon, to understand the power that's inside.


Pokémon! Gotta' catch 'em all!
It's you and me. I know it's my destiny!
Pokémon! Oh! You're my best friend in a world we must defend.
Pokémon! Gotta' catch 'em all!
Our hearts so true: our courage will pull us through.
You teach me, and I'll teach you!
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all!
Pokémon!

"So Jemal, where are you taking me? Are we going to the doctor's office? Its getting too late for him isn't it? I mean its after 6 I think he is closed."


ooc: I am sure this will convince the last hold outs that Sabrina is by far the most evil kindred of the city

 

[reapersaurus]

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.

"You seem distracted, Nikolai, that would be a danger in the field. If you remain interested, that is." Qadir's attention seemed locked on Nikolai's eyes, suddenly. Intent, and focused.

Nikolai remembers the rumblings in the Chantry that ensued when the New York Tremere were told of the existence of the Betrayer in their midst.

Nikolai hadn't seen him in person before, and was surprised to see him make his appearance in Alysium, of all places, and unescorted.

He considered a variety of courses of action upon seeing Gabriel.

Hearing Qadir's voice, Nikolai doesn't meet his gaze, keeping his attention focused on Gabriel like on a hunt - "Not distracted, Sherriff : focused.

That Tremere there *motioning to Gabriel, but not taking eyes off him* is not what he seems.

Do you know of him, Qadir?
It is unfortunate that Aislinn is not here to acquaint us with him..."

Nikolai continues to look at Gabriel until Gabriel notices the gaze, and will "give respects" when he does, from across the room, then go back to paying visible attention to the discussion with Qadir.

 

[Catulle]

Nikolai and Qadir

"Yes, Nikolai. I have met him." Simple, understated and bluntly honest - how very Qadir... "In his caution, the Prince thought it best that I meet our Kindred that he may be easily drawn to us should our trust be misplaced. Sturbridge, of course, assures his loyalty, but the wise man goes prepared into all things. Would you not agree." The statement, definitely not a question, was hauntingly familiar to Nikolai's own train of thought upon entering Elysium.
_____________

Gabriel

(Gabriel - Per/Alertness - 10,10,7,7,5,1 - 1 success) Gabriel felt, rather than saw, the intensity of the scrutiny directed at him, though from his position he could not see who or what it was taking so sudden an interest without turning from the harpies.

 

[Catulle]

Jemal and Sabrina

"We're... going to sit in the car for a little while. Uncle Nathan wanted me to explain some things to you. About what we've been through; what you're going through now."

As he reached the car, Jemal opened the door for her revealing the snug cabin of the limousine. "You just hop in - I've got to give the driver some instructions for Uncle Nathan then I'll be right with you." The interior was dim, warm and smelt of new leather, the small television was still playing from the journey to the restaurent, though it had been muted. Big brother cast Sabrina a friendly wink as he indicated for her to get into the vehicle.

 

[Shalimar]

The little girl nods her understanding to her brother waiting for him to open the door to the large limo for her. Sabrina smiles in answer to the wink bestoweed upon her by the gorgeous vampire.

Sabrina slides into a seat and starts kicking her legs which don't even reach the floor. She looks to see whats on the TV, and giggles happily on finding another of her favorite cartoons, Yugi-Oh. On the screen a multitude of furballs were being destroyed by a huge three-headed dragon. The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Kaiba's most powerful combination, I hope Yugi can beat it she thought idly, knowing that her parents had bought her the entire series and it was sitting with the box series of Pokemon, and Digimon.

"What did you want to explain to me? I thought we were going to go see a doctor or something." She asks her brother.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Caitlyn nodded and bid her farewell to the departing Morgan. Her eyes traveled to where Morgan was looking. "Who is that, Max?" she asked gazing with curiousity at the man all by himself. She had thought the guests at this party all seemed very quiet, rather introverted, and restrained in a way. It was interesting to note that the man in a dark corner by himself was more so than the others.

Max turns to Caitlyn, "I'm not sure, I haven't met him myself yet."

Hmm, I guess thats the Prince.

To the side, Max all but lost himself to the moment and other eyes in the room were straying towards the pair as well.

Max looks back and forth between the women in front of him.

"Wow," he mouths silently.

He watches the introduction quietly, then introduces himself to Nathaniel and Vychtorya afterwards.

"Good evening, I'm Max Freigart. I'm here with Morgan," he says, indicating towards her with a tilt of his head.

He extends his hand to Nathaniel and Vychtorya to shake.

Thats the guy who was sitting with the child. He looks important, I doubt her embrace was his doing, I wonder what happened?

 

[Vychtorya]

Vych noted how upset Nathaniel seemed at the thought of his niece having to succumb to her new reality. And with that, she decided not to possibly further intensify his distraught feelings by offering her assistance. The thought of one so young pulled at her heart stings even though in the old country she was warned one created so young, as well as the insolent bastard who dared reckon with the rules, would be put to final death. Vych would let Carrick know of her offer to assist, and see what he had to say aboout it. After all, no one had mentioned anything to her about it being wrong to help a little one; even if it was just to offer the simple etiquette of how to properly “do things” as a lady. Perhaps it would be more suited for Carrick to make such an offer to Nathaniel since she was not as familiar as to how he would react, and this certainly was not the place to find out.

Giving Nathaniel’s arm a gentle, reassuring squeeze Vych says,
“And I know I shall enjoy meeting the other Mr. Montague if he is anything at all like his most handsome uncle.”

Vych turns her attention ahead of her looking slightly passed Caitlyn so as not to distract herself and “warms” her appearance to look as human as possible without hurting herself.

Vych gives a most exquisite smile with her lips as well as her eyes at the play on words from Nathaniel and extends her hand to Caitlyn. Vych places her left hand over the top of Caitlyn’s and her own. Attempting to keep her focus and control, Vych’s slight accent appears as she begins to speak.
“I believe the pleasure is all mine, my dear. My name is Vychtorya, but you may call me Vych. I did catch myself several times becoming enraptured by your beautiful voice during the performance. I do hope you will be playing another set this evening. Might I inquire who writes your songs? I must say they are as lovely as your voice.”

Vych knows there is someone standing near by, and that she must acknowledge him soon as etiquette would have it, but Caitlyn is quite beautiful. She finds it difficult to shift her eyes away.

(OOC – Vych would wait for all dialogue to finish between herself and Caitlyn, and then address Max unless he should interrupt them first.)

Vych extends her still warm hand and a gracious smile to Max, accent still in place,
“It is nice to make your acquaintance Mr. Freigart. Isn’t this a lovely gathering?”

 

[KitanaVorr]

Caitlyn colours slightly at the beautiful woman's praise. "I'm pleased you really do like our music. Our songs...I write them myself." She glances at Max when he speaks to contain her nervousnes with a familiar face before looking at Nathan while Vychtorya spoke to Max, anything to keep from staring like a starstruck idiot at the lovely Vychtorya.

Sabrina's guardian was certainly creepy strange with the odd clothes and the weird scratchy voice that was oddly mesmerizing. And this was to be her employer? Perhaps she shouldn't let his absolute charming little ward colour her perception and find out more about this Montegue family before diving into the den of...of whatever it might be. Families like the Montegue always had secrets, didn't they?

But Nathan and Jemal seemed nice enough. And Sabrina seemed so lonely, how could Caitlyn say no? She understood loneliness. Even in a city teeming with people, it was still so easy to be lonely in a crowd.
