h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Elsewhere in the City*

*A pack of 4 Kindred stand close together around a fountain in the local park*

1: When do we attack

Leader: Patience young one....the Prince isn't ready for his old friends to reunite with him just yet...

This is my home, not a 'wretched place' pampered Toreador weakling

oooh don't sulk
you said yourself I'm pampered
and this place.... isnt

*growls, the Beast close to the surface*

Let us leave...the Prince needs to hear your information about the Sabbat

what a wonderful idea,

*snarls*

*leaves the sewer and heads back to Elysium*

*does the same*

*William walks up to the fountain in the park and awaits Dante, he is wearing a balaclava so his mis-shapen features do not cause a Masquerade breach*

*Elisabeth kills a mosquito which thought she may be a good meal.*

Stupid blood suckers.</>

*she turns back to repairing the sink in the kitchen. It was leaking. She summoned a little daemon to help her, but doesn't trust him enough to let him repair the sink himself so she just lets him hand her the tools.*

Alright, I think that was it.

*she sits up and - as to be expected - bangs her head on the sink. She curses. The daemon takes a step back, but she ignores him and just gets out from there and stands up*

Good, this was that. Now to the walls.

*the daemon looks up at her*

Just the sink you said! My wife will be angry if I come home late *again*.

*Elisabeth sighs deeply and waves him away*

Alright, go. Go home. I will do it alone. At least I don't have to listen to you anymore then.

*the daemon sticks out his tongue at her and runs away*

*Victor stride through the city, snarling at any mortal that crosses his path, he seems to not care about the Masquerade*

Wait my Prince...Prince indeed, ha!

*Lady Lowell is almost running alongside William, as he takes his great strides through the City*


.. Okay! I know there's flap on! Slow down!


*William only takes the orders of his Prince and continues striding through the streets with Lowell following him*


Tijerius you are going to pay for this.. this.. humiliation! </>

*finally matches strides with Wormwood*

You do know we have an un-welcome shadow?

*turns to the elder*

Just to let you know, I'm not good at taking orders from 'your' kind, just information.

*quickly strikes a backhand to the back of Dante's head, much as he disapproves of Lowell, he is a staunch believer in the power structure*

Respect yuor elders, child!

*turns and stops to let Lowell catch up*

Haste is necessary, my lady, although why my Prince insisted /you/ were to come along is beyond me

*hand of shadow gently caresses the back of Lowell's neck*

Hello cousin, we have need to talk </>

*still muttering and cursing the fashion shoes that are crippling her feet, as she almost runs into the back of William*


*then her blood pulses as she hears her cousin's communication*

I'm on my way, My Liege </>

.. Oh! I 'do' wish he'd make up his mind!

.. William, you go on!

It seems the Prince actually wishes to talk with me now!..


*William bows and dragging his minion by the scruff of his neck, he skulks further into the City*


*Lowell's heart races as she makes her way back to the Prince*

*an arm of shadow pulls Lowell into an alleyway*

Forgive me, cousin, but we have an urgent problem...the /other/ child of my sire has arrived.

Victor?

He is here?

*Lowell shudders at the thought*

Does anyone else know?


*She can't resist looking at his neck... her blood surges*

He arrived in Elysium of all the places, the nerve of him.

*his voice is shaking with supressed rage*

He had the gall the call himself of Clan Ventrue, despoiling your parent clan, then again...he never was good enough for /my/ clan. Maybe yours is all he's fit for, cousin.

*there is a challenge in his eyes, he's insulting her and she knows it*

*Lowell's eyes narrow as she looks back at the Prince*

.. I seem to recall.. from my history lessons...

".. the Ventrue were cast out when one of the Lunatics took over the throne. There have been many changes to bring back the natural order and structure to the throne, but the Ventrue are still waiting .. "


blah, blah, blah.... Seems there are still problems in your clan, cousin dearest!...


*her eyes flash a challenge*
