[VtR][Mature] Born into Darkness: Arc 1

Cole Braddock

Cole gauges everyone's reactions intently, making mental notes where need as he paitently waits for the situation to present itself.

Quite the rabble we have here… Glad to see that though the years may have changed, the people have not.

"Whatever it is, i can only hope it involves killing vampires."

For a moment the statement didn't quite register, but when Archer finally got around to processing what Biggs said he seemed dumbfounded. He looked around at everyone else present, then back to Biggs.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to respond to that statement," Archer started getting ideas, "While it highlights a number of serious issues, I am afraid this is not the time or place to explore them."

Archer made a mental note to never be alone with that particular vampire. He felt more than a little self-conscious about his bandages when Braddock pointed them out, and as the feeling grew eventually adjusted his collar in an attempt to hide them better.

"In any case, I'm guessing you all have names, or pseudonyms, that you go by?"

Angry vampire, creepy vampire, and sinisterly smiling vampire. Fan-fcking-tastic. What was she so happy about anyway? Archer would bet anything that these three had something to do with whatever problem LB had sent he and Braddock to help resolve.

"Whatever it is, i can only hope it involves killing vampires."

"You'd be starting with yourself then? That would be the easiest kill for ya." Diego said with a smirk.

"In any case, I'm guessing you all have names, or pseudonyms, that you go by?"

Name's Diego," he says, offering a hand to the man.

"Whatever it is, i can only hope it involves killing vampires."

"I thought you were better than that, Beth said to Biggs. "You saved me once, from that freak. Now we're both vampires, and neither of us chose it, but here we are. Now you want to kill me?" Beth steps towards the freezer door.

"There's a stake right there," she says as she points to the stake Biggs jammed in the freezer door. "You're already a little familiar with that one, aren't ya? Why don't you go ahead and stake us all right now then.

"And when you're finished, you can go riding off into the sunset like a good little blood-sucker and pretend you're something other than what you are.

"Deal with it Cowboy, you're one of us now."

Beth casually walks into the midst of the others in the room, making sure she's out of Bigg's reach. Surely they'd agree with her.

"I'm Beth. No Nice and stupid nicknames, just Beth."

Deigo's jaw drops at Beth's blunt comment, "Wow, alittle firey huh? Very nice."

"Biggs, my name is Biggs." says Biggs, to the newcommers. Turning to Beth, he says: "And no, i'm not going to pretend i'm something i'm not. However, i'm not going to carve a big X on everything that has happened in my life up until i was turned. If you want to, thats fine. More than fine actually. I don't know how long i could stand an Emo-vampire. And again, no, i don't intend to kill you. Unless you needlessly harm a human. If an innocent dies by your hand, so will you.

I hunted vampires when i was alive, because i believed in protecting my fellow man from what i knew lurked in the darkness. The only thing becomming one of the damned has done to me is make me even more proficient at it. Only now i got a glimpse at what i was really up against. There's a whole lot more of em then i'd dreamed possible. Hell, this city has an entire society of them. Annother thing i noticed is that they are not all evil monsters, and i'll happily work for the prince, if he will just send me after the bad ones.

Now, that said, the Prince said that i was intended to be a message. And something about Neonates, i'm guessing that's you. And then there are all these vampires that broke the "no embracing" law by making us three, and maybe the one still staked in the basement..." Here Biggs looks at Archer and Cole inquisitively before continuing "Luci... The Prince is pissed. He wants to send a message. And i'm it, or at the very least, part of it. Put one and one together and what do you get? I think he's going to send us after our sires, and if thats the case, and i do hope it is, nothing, nothing in this world or the next would make me happier than getting my hands on my sire."

“Actually, we are all Neonates. Do not take it personnel, that is just what they call the recently embraced.” Corrects Cole.

“Sending us after your Sires would be a tasking that few of us, if any, would return from. That is something that I personnel wish to shun away from. And I would recommend the same to you all, unless, that is you have a final death wish. Then by all means, have at it horse.” States Cole in a cool and collective voice.

"Name's Diego," he says, offering a hand to the man.

Archer was pleasantly surprised by the offer of a handshake, and while it didn't speak of any physical prowess, he had a reliably firm grip when he grasped Diego's hand.

"It's a pleasure Diego, and much appreciated," he glanced towards Beth and Biggs discussing their past and the implications of being undead, and as they appeared busy returned his attention to Diego, "I'm guessing you're the guy to ask for a summary of the evening's events thus far?"

Diego seemed agreeable, and Archer thought it would be best to continue collecting data on these new faces through observation. First impressions were meaningful.

"Right. So when you make blanket statements, such as:

"Whatever it is, i can only hope it involves killing vampires."

...we're just supposed to sit back and take it with a smile? Honestly, how did you think we'd react? Obviously we're not all bad--you're not bad. You saved me, sorf of. I think.

"So maybe we got of fthe wrong foot, Cowboy," she says as she steps closer to him and extends her small, cold hand. "I"m Beth, and I'm a good vampire, if there is such a thing."

[sblock]Yeah, she's probably going to stick with the Cowboy nickname for a while... might as well get used to it. [/sblock]

Biggs accepts Beth's profered hand.

“Actually, we are all Neonates. Do not take it personnel, that is just what they call the recently embraced.” Corrects Cole.

“Sending us after your Sires would be a tasking that few of us, if any, would return from. That is something that I personnel wish to shun away from. And I would recommend the same to you all, unless, that is you have a final death wish. Then by all means, have at it horse.” States Cole in a cool and collective voice.

"So that's what a Neonate is. Well Braddock, you seem knowledgeable about vampires, could you maybe discern my clan? Nice asked earlier, but i drew a blank. Didn't even know there were clans."
