So everything is back to normal. Mostly. Except that I have no voice. Oh well. I can still write. Interesting thing about having no voice. People tended to take pity on me. Kept giving me laptops. *smirk* I could have opened my own store. I think I ended up with 8 different laptops. Heh. Well now. On with the interesting stuff.
Lia and I are hanging out at Ground Zero, another night club. We decided that I need a bar stool *smirk* Yes. You will be seeing a lot of this. So Lia dumps a guy off his bar stool, and I get to sit. Lia takes the bar top. She lounges across the top, and starts talking to some guy. I'm watching the guy next to me. He's an older gentleman. And he's got a dog with him. Lia and the other guy are talking. Turns out his name is Verlaine. They hit it off, and go dance. I get stuck talking to the guy with the dog. Turns out the guy next to me is blind. And I'm mute. Am I the only one that sees the humor in this situation? His name is Henry. To bad I can't 'talk' to him. Lia and Verlaine come back. Lia introduces me to Henry. I get to pet the dog. The dog likes me.
We leave. I'm back at IH. Hanging out. Not really doing anything. Dagger walks in. He walks directly over to me, and sits uninvited. I have mentioned that I do have that affect on people. He sets down a pen and paper saying Let's talk. I shrug and wait for him to make the opening move. He does. Saying that I've been the talk of the sabbat coffee houses. I merely arch an eyebrow. He goes on to want to know what clan I am. Now I'm remembering that Kernel is still being looked for. I just shake my head. He still wants to know. He wants to know how far his disapointment can fall too. I'm still not telling. I may be naive, but I am not stupid. Dagger sighs. And then gives an offer. Did I mention that he was talking to me in my mind? Dagger offers to teach me how to speak with my mind. In return he wanted me to be bound to him, in the sabbat way. I decline. Dagger looks a bit annoyed. He causally mentions that had he been in town when the sabbat had me. He would have looked at me naked, and bound me to him. That. Annoyed. Me. Again Dagger makes the offer, and again I refuse. He tells me to think upon it. He also tells me not to tell anybody, that he will know if I do. That he can read my mind. So I tell him, that I will tell Poly, that I have to. He gives me an odd look. I tell him that I told him that so he wouldn't have to go to all the trouble of reading my mind. Dagger leaves. Granted he wasn't exactly happy. But he did leave.
Henry and Verlaine walk into IH. This is a few nights later. They grab me, and want to go talk. What the hell. I'm bored. I decide to grace them with my presence. Verlaine then introduces himself as Ventrue, Henry introduces himself as Gangrel. I write down that I'm Brujah, and ask them to keep it to themselves, as I am being looked for, in a round about way. Verlaine gives me a speculative look and I promptly inform him that I don't fight. Verlaine gives me an odd look. and Henry just has this curious expression on his face. I don't elaborate. So Verlaine goes on with his grand plan. The one about taking back NYC. I immediately see what's wrong with his plan. He wants to use mortals. I try to explain to him why it won't work. He doesn't listen. It's about this point in time when I start disliking Verlaine. Haven't seen Kayta for a couple of days. I miss him.*sigh* Oh shut up.
I'm back hanging at IH. Meet this oriental guy called Bongae. Means Lightning in Korean. We get to 'talking'. After a while Bongae pulls out a contract and told me to sign. I looked at the contract. Hello. Do you actually think that I'm going to sign something without looking at it first? Turns out it's a contract for him being my bodyguard, for an unspecified amount of time. The dollar amount was set for 0. I looked curious like at Bongae. He just said that he liked me, and didn't want to see me harmed. That he would basically be my slave until I decided that I didn't need him around. Also that I wouldn't have to pay anything. He was doing it for free. Sounded like a good deal, and I couldn't find the fine print. So I signed. He then said congratulations. You now have your own personal assassin. He then showed me 3 of his safe houses, where I could hide incase trouble came my way. And he gave me the keys to them. We hung at my place for a while. I played the bass for him. I rocked the joint. He looked impressed. I think he thinks im a Toreador now. Silly vampire. *smirk*
Bongae and I are hanging outside of IH. I see this Mexican punker leaning against IH. He's staring at me. I want to know why. So I write to Bongae, telling him that I'll be right back. I go over to the Mexican and stare at him for a moment. Forgot I couldn't talk to him, and Bongae had my note pad. He said Whada want Puta? I just arched an eyebrow, shrugged, and walked back to Bongae. The Mexican, his name is Fuego, followed me. Bongae looks a little suspicious. *smirk* You sense a fight coming? Not too hard to sense.
