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

"I'm not sure, time passes kinda wierdly when your chained up inside a coffin. I got home, and was in the middle of realising what happenned when "Blackie" came knocking on the door. Nearly cut her into two distinct pieces on her first pass. She's strong for a tiny lil thing. She knocked me out and staked me... or thought she did. Don't know much about the real deal between vampires and stakes, but if i had to guess, i'd say she didn't jam it in far enough. Came to in the coffin, all chained up. Don't know how long i was out. Could have been a day, week, or month ago. Which would explain how damned thirsty i am. But you work for Blackie, you must know when she captured me. It'd be that night."

"Vanderchild said something about Nosferatu, not that it means a helluva lot to me. Not much that old fart said made sense."

Nice looks intently at Diego for a minute. And nods.

It was THAT night?

OK. Yeah. I was there. That was, what, two of weeks ago? September 22nd?

"Mekhet," she says, a bit unsure. "I know that's what she told me, but I don't remember her doing it. I'm not even sure what it means, really.

"So it's weird that we were all made vampires, I get that. Scares the hell out of me, but I get it. But what I don't get is why we're all here. It's like the last few weeks are a blur that only comes into focus a little piece at a time, but I woke up in that cab. I woke up, I knew where I was going; I told him to bring me here, I remember that. But I don't know why."

Beth turns and looks looks at Diego. "Why are you here? Do you remember? Who told you to come?"

"And you," she says to Biggs. "Coincidence?"

"Mr. Nice, I think there's a little more to this story, and I think you should tell it over a drink."
 

"I know who I am love and where I came from, other than that I'm new to this stuff too. Ol' man Vanderchild was, well, sort of a rambler. Half of what he said was a lie and the other half was bull:):):):):)."
 

"I was shipped here in a crate. Theres annother one in the basement, staked in a box. Ain't no coincidence we're here. The Prince is upset that vampires are siring in his city. Heard that much from the horse's mouth. The Prince comming here tonight Nice?"

For the rest of the ride, Cole elaborates to Archer on what exactly his remote work entailed and what exactly he has been doing for the past 70 years.

"Heh," Archer looked amazed, "What do you reckon' were the odds of us crossing paths like this, eh? Seems uncannily lucky, but I'm not about to complain."

Outside the car window the trees moved past as they followed a road through dense forest. It reminded Archer of when he was almost burnt to death at the side of the road by the hand of the sire he adored. He decided to get his mind away from the subject and try to focus on his work.

"Driver, how much further to our destination?" he asked, "Is there anything in particular you'd consider important to know about the location and what to expect?"
 

In the car on the way to Blackcoat's

The Driver looks up, "I drive," he says monotonously.

The car slows and pulls off the road. Or rather it looks like it's pulling off the road at first, there is actually tiny, poorly marked and extremely poorly maintained road. The car has an excellent suspension, even so the ride up the slope is extremely rough.
 

Inside Blackcoat's Mansion -- Outside the Freezer

Nice looks like he's still thinking. He turns around to start opening up the freezer. There is both a key and a simple looking mechanical pad on the freezer.

[sblock=Biggs]It looks like the same sort of set up as the door downstairs in the basement.[/sblock]

Nice finishes unlocking the freezer and pulls open the door. Beyond is a reasonably sized room, 10 feet wide and 20 long, with metal racks, sparsely decorated with bags filled with a redish black liquid. The air is cold but not freezing.
There are maybe 30 bags of blood within the room, marked "Whole Blood" and "City Blood Bank" and organized by date.
A freezer box at the far end has a padlock on it.

Nice, holding the door open, shrugs.

Take 4 bags a piece. Start from the oldest and work your way forward.

[sblock=Bags]
The bags are made of thick plastic, each is marked with various medical terminology and contains two pints of blood.

Just looking at the bag and imagining drinking the blood is enough to cause a vampires' fangs to extend from their mouth.

Biting and drinking is almost reflexive.

Drinking blood in this fashion is not particularly pleasant though. You feel like you're eating crappy food. It's like having french fries from a fast food joint, after they've been sitting for an hour and the grease is cold and the fries are soggy.

Every 4 bags (8 pints) is enough to regain a single blood point. This moves Beth to 5 blood (she is no longer hungry) and Biggs & Diego to 6 vitae.[/sblock]
