"Is that right?" Trent says with a smile. "Good Work, Kid!" He compliments. "Well I hate to get right on your case, but I'm afraid I got another mission for you and Danielle." He says. "Come on, hear your good old pal out!" He says. The arm that was over his shoulder tightens a little bit as if to hold him in place. He nods for Danielle to stay as well.

 

[NovaPheonix]

Zarred tried to push back against the man, but he couldn't get enough momentum or force behind himself to push forward. he wanted to tell the man to screw off and brush past him like a typical punk would do, but it didn't work out exactly like he planned. "Just gimme like an hour or something, I don't want another job right now...I want to go check on her." he motioned toward Aurora with a bit too much attachment in his voice. Unlike danielle, he really cared about her...at least more than she did. It might have actually made him seem too attached, too human, but that was how he felt in the moment. He was rather emotional for a kindred in that case. It wasn't like he had feelings of love for her, which might have been one of the few times a vampire might be somewhat emotional. He just felt deeply guilty about what he did and his heart begged him to resolve it. For now though, regardless of what he said out loud, he gave up resisting against his handler and went with him for the moment.

 

[ValkyrieRose]

"Aw That's no way to be." He says, making a fake pout...which didn't match the man's features at al. 'I thought you just met the girl, why are you so concerned about her? Not like you broke every bone in her body or the sort... i doubt she'd be a decent source of food." HE said, trying to figure out his game. "Meh, fine, take an hour, clear your mind. I'll prief Danielle while we wait." He says. "We'll be a few rooms over.


He looks over to Danielle. "Shall we, princee?" He asked with a mrrhful smile

 

[Zayuz]

"Of course." She says, following behind him. Danielle briefly wondered what would give them another mission so soon.. Usually there was at least a day or two between them. "Maybe I'll even need my armor for this one." A small smirk would appear on her face, still enjoying the freedom of her light fabric. In all honesty, she was a little bit disappointed that the night was cut so short.. But work always came first. "..So, what's the mission?"

 

[NovaPheonix]

Zarred nodded, surprised he was being let go. He cringed mentally when he mentioned food, remembering that humans were a food source to them and probably little more. That's why he was happy to be considered a kindred, he didn't want to be looked upon as a meal. He made his way down to the infirmary while Aurora was being carried into the place. He greeted Flora (Cynthia) with a smile since he was very happy to see her. He probably would have hugged her if he knew her better, he was so happy to be in a room with an actual ally rather than being surrounded by people he had to be guarded around. He made sure everyone was out of the room and that there weren't any cameras or bugs in the room before he continued speaking with her.

"Oh, what happened to this one?" Flora(Cynthia) Said in a worried tone. Seeing a young girl being brought in unconscious. She stopped what she was doing and lowered the volume on her music while getting up. "Ermmm, put her on the cot over here dear" She told the man, after he put Aurora on the cot Flora went over to take a look at her. "Sigh the poor thing... what happened to you?" Flora said gently brushing the girls hair away so she may see her face, wondering what could have happened to girl, she was fairly pretty, didn't look the sort to get into a fight Flora thought. Just then Zarred entered. Hearing someone call out her name she looked over toward him and smiled. "Hey there zarr i hope your doing well, how did the recruiting go? as you can see my work just began..." Flora looked down as Aurora with a sad looked painted on her face, unaware that this was the same girl that Zarred had gone to recruit. She wast informed of much, only hearing tidbits of information as people passed in and out of the infirmary. @NovaPheonix

 

[ValkyrieRose]

"You might actually need your armor for this one." He says taking out his phone and handing it to her. "I recorded this about an hour ago. That knocked out little missy tried calling me to rescheudule when Zarred attacked her. I heard this." He explains. There came Aurora's voice, followed by some chanting. It was a bunch of mumbo jumbo and couldn't be translated by ither of them, but the fact that it was in Zarred's voice could not be denied. "I don't think any Kindred would need to go spewing that sort of nonsense. I don't think Zarred s who he says he is. We need to take him for questionf.... perhaps even to to the top brass.... unless you wanna do the honors"


@Zayuz

 

[NovaPheonix]

"I'm fine, Flora." he said, calling her the name she had given him. "She is the recruit, I had to knock her out." he motioned his palm towards the unconscious girl. "I just tased her though, so I'm pretty sure she's fine." He shrugged and walked up to where he would be next to Flora and sighed. He seemed tired and emotionally exhausted. He took a seat on one of the recovery beds and rubbed his eyes. It hadn't taken him very long to do any of this, but the aftermath is what was taking the toll on him. He wasn't sure how much longer he would be able to keep this up, but he had a responsibility not to back out of this cult. Danielle finally decided to open up to him, and if he could keep that up he would be one step closer to his goals. "I don't know if I can keep doing this..." he looked towards Flora, as if he was begging for her support. "If you weren't here, I don't know how I would be holding together." The line sounded a bit more romantic in his deep melodramatic voice than he would have wanted, but he was being honest with her.


@DARK7

 

[Morgy]

"You did this? sigh..." Flora said in a sad tone. "I guess you had no choice, the poor thing.." Flora left Aurora's side to sit over next to Zarred. "sigh if you jsut tased her we should probably just let her rest for now" Flora put a hand on Zarred to give him a comforting rub on his back. "Try to hang in there alright? I know its hard but your doing great so far, and if you ever need to talk to someone ill be here alright?." She gave Zarred a warm smile, then looked to Aurora sleeping on the cot across from them. "So what happened? Unless you don't wish to talk about it thats fine." Flora said a little concern in her voice she hadn't seen Zarred like this ever, he looked... disturbed.

 

[NovaPheonix]

"I told you what I did, that's all that happened." He wasn't that uncomfortable about it, but he was more relaxed around her compared to how he was with Danielle. He still didn't feel like talking much, and he reinforced this by telling her, "I'm not really in the mood to talk about it, but I need to talk to her. She's a medium, Flora." he moved over to close the door to the infirmary. "They're getting closer and closer to getting what they want, and they still don't trust me enough." he sounded frustrated. "I am the perfect person for this job, though, I'll admit." he sighed himself, sitting back down. "Now I had to tell them I'm a medium too, so I might have to help with whatever their plan is."


@DARK7

 

[Zayuz]

Danielle's expression quickly switched to a look of concern, listening intently to the recording. She felt the urge to explain what happened in the car, but hesitated. The girl didn't want Zarred to hate her or anything.. But Trent suspected something as well.. Agh. How she hated making decisions. "..Listen, Trent. I.. Might have noticed something as well, but if I tell you; promise not to telling anyone until we figure out if it's a threat or not, alright?" Danielle's anger flared, directed completely at herself. Why was she defending this guy she hardly knew? She owed him nothing.. And what is he posed a threat to her mistress? It's not like he was hurting anyone in the cult with his abilities though.. Or so she thought. Even then, she wasn't the type to sell someone out without proper evidence or reason. Interrogating him seemed a fine idea, perhaps they could even get one of those corpses like he had said.. Her eyes only made half eye contact with Trent, demonstrating her reluctance.

 

[ValkyrieRose]

@Zayuz


"You? Staying calm when this might be an issue to everything your mistress stands for?" He said, surprised. "I never thought i'd see the day." He says, busting out laughing. "Fine, I'll listen, but let's see what your information says, if it proves damning we have to report it to her. That's our job, you know." He reminds her. "Either way, i do think we need to tell her this much in case something happens to us. Will you go tell her what's going on and ask for orders?" He asks, texting her a copy of the message he recorded

 

[Zayuz]

Danielle blushes at his comment, having little to say in response to the teasing. Her devotion.. He couldn't understand it. Sometimes it seemed nobody did. "R-right.. I just don't want him to get hurt if it turns out to be nothing." She clears her throat, giving herself a moment to evaluate her words before starting. "So.. In the car on the way back I noticed Zarred's iris's turned white.. He was staring at my armor. When I confronted him he said it had something to do with detecting death, and that he hadn't told anyone yet because he wasn't sure how we would react.." She placed her free hand against her face, rubbing her forehead and frowning. "Well shit.. Now that I say it that sounds pretty suspicious, doesn't it? ..Ah.. He said he could prove it if I brought him a corpse, but we don't keep those, do we?" Without waiting for an answer, Danielle continues. "I'm just.. Not sure what to do. I don't want him to hate me.."

 

[ValkyrieRose]

Trent would close his eyes. "Glowing white aura?... That's not good" He says. "Combined with the latin from the tape... The man knows magic at the very least" He says. "Which means that ...he's probably bee lying to us. Not Many vampires know magic, so the chance of him causing issues is quite high. Do you wanna deal with this, or should i?


@Zayuz

 

[Mistress Iris]

There was a throbbing in her chest which woke Aurora from her slumber. "Nnnn...." She groaned, moving her hand to her right breast area. She opened her eyes slowly, blinking at the white light that shined down on her. "What the hell....?" She said groggily, hissing as her fingers brushed the sores where the taser had hit her. "Oh my Gods!" She shouted as she sat up remembering the fight from earlier. She looked around frantically spotting the man who had attacked her. After a quick look to see any potential threats, she focused on him, glaring daggers. "You." She growled. "Where the hell have you taken me? If you even think I'm going to help you contact some relative or whatever, think again Mister."

 

[Zayuz]

She looks up to Trent, making a small nod. "Together. ..I think once that's done we can go to our mistress, and present all of what we've learned. Good or bad." Her usual determined expression had returned to her face, the girl swinging her sword in a small circle with her hand. "..Would now be a good time? I might want to get my armor on first.." Having Trent with her would most likely help a lot, but she wasn't sure if interrogations were really his thing. He had the look for it, but the attitude was a bit off. ..But attitudes can change, especially when you need them to. Even if being scare wasn't his forte, he could still be there to support her if something went wrong.

 

[ValkyrieRose]

@Zayus


Tent would laugh. "Oh, trust me, I'm capable." He says with a alugh. "Go get your armor then we'll talk to him. I'll leave a message explaining our concerns in case something happens to us." He says, cricking his neck. "It's been a while since i last had any fun, so i'm actually looking forward to this quite a bit."

 

[NovaPheonix]

Zarred turned, "Oh, you're awake." he was focusing on her as well, glaring back with equal intensity. He seemed hurt by her harshness, "I don't need your help to contact anybody!" He said very angrily back at her, shoving his face toward hers on the bed. "What I can do is way beyond anything you could even think of! Just look!" He waved his hand dramatically towards another end of the room. In his mind he pictured the girlfriend he lost three years ago, the woman who he still loved more than anyone in the world. He focused all of his will, all of his energy into calling her towards him from the Twilight. He knew that all three of those in the room would be able to communicate with her, but in this moment, he was desperate for companionship. His heart called out, echoing into the other plane of reality where the dead walked, and he was confident that she would come to him. They had talked before, so this was nothing new to him, but at the same time it was not an ability he had perfected exactly. It was raw, unfocused, pure emotion.

 

[Zayuz]

Her stern expression broke into a smirk at Trent's enthusiasm. How could she have thought he would pass up the opportunity? She knew him better than that. "I'm glad- Putting this stuff on should only take a moment." Danielle jogs over to the car, opening the door and equipping her armor. Now that she thought about it, she would have had to put it on anyways. Getting it all on was by no means a quick process, but she had grown quite proficient at it over the years. In only a few minutes, she had almost all of it on. Leaving out only the helmet and the gauntlets; she turned around, picking up her sword. She was ready to go. Hopefully all this was for nothing.. But somehow she doubted that. The skin beneath her crop top rubbed up against the metal, which wasn't recommended for longer periods of time. If all went well, that wouldn't matter. ..And she wasn't going to change outside. No way.

 

[Mistress Iris]

"Yeah, right, whatever." Aurora said rolling her eyes. "I don't give two fucks about what you can do. Unless it involves making some portal to send me home, you can piss off." She shoved him hard, pushing him out of her face. 'This guy has got some nerve, trying to be all dominating.'


"Take me home, now before I make your life a living hell." She threatened.

  A ghostly woman appeared in front of them. Zarred's girlfriend, Cecilia Serana, appeared. She looks around. "Hm? What the hell?! Who'se got the big idea calling me after all this crap?!" She asked, looking and noticing Zarred. "Oh...Zar Zar." She says, surprised. "I haven't seen you in a while, what are you doing here?" She asked. "And whose the medium? She looks odd."

  Trent prepares his gear. Torture knives to be exact. He wasn't sure if it was going to need them, but he wanted to be ready for just about anything. On the safe side, he readied his guns, making sure they were cleaned and properly loaded. He left a message explaining what happened and sent it to the head for her to view latr, though he wasn't sure if she was in or not. Now, fully prepared, he looks at Danielle. "Are you good to go , then? @Zayuz
  
  
  

Scene 2. Session 1 Complete

 

[Morgy]

"Hello dear, lets all just calm down a bit and- Zarred don't!" But Floras protests were in vain, there was nothing to stop him as he summoned his past girlfriend from the other side. Flora could do nothing but stare in awe, she quickly turned to Aurora and then Zarred. "Please calm down dear cursing Zarred wont send you back home, and Zarred what are you thinking?!? Send her back now!" Flora spoke in a distressed tone toward Zarred, he was letting his emotions get the better of him, and Flora had a feeling this might not end well unless he stopped this little tantrum soon. She then turned toward Zarreds girlfriend. "H-hello ma'am, i hope your doing well?" Flora said with a shaky smile hoping Zarred would stop this before it got out of hand.

 

[NovaPheonix]

"I can't make a portal, but it's totally possible." He chuckled a bit, half-joking with Aurora. "For now, you need to stay here. I had to capture you to prove my loyalty to this cult, but once I get all the info I need...I'm taking you out of here." He turned to her only for a bit, focusing most of his attention towards the ghostly girl.


"Dunno who this girl is...but I'm going to help her. Cece, I just went through a lot and felt like saying hi. That's all." He gave a full smile, his eyes gleaming with new determination as he looked up at her. "Well, that and I might need your help with a few things." He admitted, biting his lip. "Things are getting dangerous with Danielle...she might have seen me do something, and I know that things aren't going to end well..."


He turned to Flora last, with a sigh. "Right, I guess since everyone in the room can see her, this is Cece, she's my girlfriend, and she's going to be staying here...with us." He gave Flora a glare as if to say 'and you don't get a say in this, she's part of the team now.' with his hollow eyes.

 

[ValkyrieRose]

"Well, ex." Cecilia said, closing her eyes as she listens to everyone. "Being dead is kind of a break up when you think about it." She corrects the men. "Though he does talk with me and feed me energy... it's been quite some time, however." She says, glaring at him, then looking at the other two women. It was unclear what her thoughts of. "It seems you've made a few female friends to replace me, which sis fine."


"Daneille?... oh right, the girl with the armor. I've seen her around a bit. She's quite strong." She says. "If you fucked up, I garuntee the timer on your life just began ticking faster. I don't know if i can really go against her, what would you have me do? Things are different Zar, about three months ago they bound me here... i'm resisting my compulsion to run and aert the leader now."


@NovaPheonix

 

[NovaPheonix]

"I could never replace you, never. Wait...Compulsion? What the heck did these nuts do to you?" Zarred questioned to her, his voice somehow remaining calm in the moment, though his body tensed up in obvious anger. He punched the air "Gah! Fuck! How the FUCK did they bind you here?! To what?" He considered everything, knowing that she would have to be anchored somewhere, or at least summoned somehow like he had just done. At the very least, maybe she could grant him some of the information that he was trying to gather.
