Path of the Vampire forum

There was a flicker of a smirk on his features before Gideon looks around the bar, waves the tender over and points to Mona's glass, and asks for another. "Two whiskeys." He commands before he digs out his wallet and slaps down a colorful Canadian bill on the counter. "Alright, so we're not cousins, but I am here on her official family business. They're looking for her. Seems she's been a bad girl." Gideon said after her glass got refilled and his got filled. "That's about as much as I'm going to share, but she's not someone you want to get tangled up in, Mona." He grabbed the glass of whiskey, brought it to his lips and tipped his head back to take a large gulp of it.

"As for my ***, now that's something we can talk about all night if you want." Gideon said after the back of his hand came across his lips, before he set down the remainder of the booze in the glass before he turned to look at her. "Or we can talk about how I'm not some random guy." She had his interest for now, needless to say with the glimmer of hope in his eyes from when she laid some bait out on the table about Every. "Or we can talk about fangers. You seem to know a lot about them." Gideon would be fine with talking about those too, compiling a list, seeing where that took him.

A smirk formed on Monas lips "Heh its a little late for me not to get tangled up with any of them Lets just say The only reason I haven't disappeared yet is a high public profile. Though it wont save me for long ... I wont go out like the others though ' she got a distant look on her face for a moment then shook her head. Raven hair slipped over her face and she pushed it back . "Your girl is one of them and yes she is dangerous She has a interest in keeping herself unknown as a vampire. If your going to spank her for being bad you better have some balls and talent to go along with that nice *** " She picked up the whiskey he ordered her and downed it. She looked around " How exactly aren't you some random guy? How we just met is about as random as it gets? "

Gideon's attention remains on Mona. It's hard to say if she really knows anything that he's really wanting but she seems to know something. Even if the references are vague. A hand goes up almost to interrupt her as Mona refers to Every as 'his girl.' "Let's get something straight real quick, Mona. I don't have a girl and if I did, she sure as hell wouldn't be a fanger. That isn't a thing I want my dick deep in." He shudders thinking about it as he picked up the glass and finishes the rest of the drink off.

"And you're right. We met randomly, but I have a feeling we're about to be real good friends." He put up two fingers and beckoned the bar tender back in their direction. "Same thing for me and...for the lady?" He looks at Mona curious if she will stay with the original choice, or if she wants something different. Once she's placed her order, Gideon looks down at the dark liquor in his glass. "Tell me about the others. How they all 'went out.'" Life outside of Harper Rock had kept Gideon out of the loop on all things paladin and the city happenings. While he might have signed up for this gig, in one way or another, his heart was always back 'home.' It was the only life Gideon knew and understood.

Mona watched him intently. She wasn't to sure about his motives but she sensed a air about him. She liked him.
She smiled as she listened. "Well Gio What exactly do you prefer to stick your dick in ? The others were my friends ... The Order of St James. One in particular fought hard ... She gave it everything she had. The ******* ******** that she tried to kill didn't have a lick of honor to try the same in return. He gets his kicks out of damning Paladins to a eternal life of being the things that they hate the most. If I'm right he runs in the same circles as the one your looking for. I've heard things but nothing I could corroborate. ." she took a sip of the Black grouse . "Nothing better than a good Scottish Whiskey except maybe a Irish ale "

Gideon had to think about the first question, long and hard. Women were funny things. You had those that were looser than a seven year old and their teeth, or then you had the the ones that were more difficult to get into than fort Knox. He wasn't sure which Mona was, but he had to tread carefully, no matter what side of the fence she was. "Well, it has to have a pulse for starters." He said with a solemn nod, thinking about his type. Gideon supposed that was his first 'type' then from there it went by hair color he supposed. Though he wasn't positive on that either. He could vaguely remember a few brunettes here and there, a blond or two and even a red head.

"I remember hearing about them. The Order. What happened to them?" Gideon asked, genuinely interested in knowing if any of them were around, and how he could go about making some 'friends' for his cause and his own benefit really. "There's a guy going around siring paladins?" Gideon now had another person of interest and it seemed by some dumb sheer luck the girl he was looking at and for, knew this champion of a vampire. "He got a name?" Gideon looked down at both their empty glasses and then waved a lazy hand to the bar tender. "Order what you like. I've got nothing but time and some money." Gideon had some money, enough for a few more rounds before he had to call it quits. If not for the expense factor, then for the staying alert factor.

Mona sighed The Order had died a slow horrible death being torn apart from the inside. Mona pulled out another cigarette , lighting it she inhaled deeply. The plume of smoke escaping from her lips she looked at Gio then spoke 'The fall of the order started with one woman. She was strong and strong willed a real fighter. Thing was she found this dick of a vampire a real piece of work. He's a Doctor yeah imagine that a Doctor and all of its advantages for a Vampire ****, Well she set out to get rid of him even blew up his house but it was a fight she was bound to loose she tried to do it on her own ... I was back in California at the time my mother died . I had no clue as to what was happening here."

She looked at him she felt bad about what happened to Domonique. She should have been here but it was her Mother the only parent she had known until she had came to Harper Rock to find her Father. She began to speak "This so called Doctor he made it personal he not only took Dom's life he played with her first ...and it cost her. Him making her into a ******* fanger. Her lover was the Head of the Order .... We don't know why he did it but many thought it was because of Dom and her predicament but he committed suicide. He tried to handle it I don't know if it was guilt or what I have no idea what was going through his head . I cant fathom it ."

She just shook her head and looked him in the eye and took another drag." I've heard he's turned other Paladins since then its like a sick game for him . Yes he had a name Dr. Charles Nilson " She studied him a moment "Gio I'm in a peculiar mood tonight and I haven't gotten laid since I came to this town. I'm usually a quick judge of character . I like you ... " She took another drag off the cigarette her words falling into silence as she continued to appraise him .

Gideon listens to what Mona has to say, taking in the details of the fall of the paladin faction. There wasn't much he could do about it, he suspected. It seemed this order was good and dead, with the woman being made a vampire and the leader being dead. There was no real coming back from that. The idea of a paladin being a vampire brought a sour, acidic taste to Gideon's mouth. He couldn't stomach the idea of an ex-paladin being a vampire and being okay with it. They were the sole reason this subset of humans existed. To keep balance and things right in the world. "Pity." He said as he picked up the glass with the new dark colored liquid in it.

Another name was gained and put on his list of vampires to screw with. To try and exterminate from the face of Harper Rock and the world. First, he had this matter with Every to take care of, then this Charles Nilson guy was going to be in for it. Maybe even the ex-paladin he turned. It was be a sort of release from the accursed life she was forced to live due to the dick of the guy. The drink was polished and his head cocked in the direction of Mona's at the last round of things she said.

"Seems like that's something else we share in common, other than our choice in drink." Gideon admitted, not that his return to the city had been very long. A handful of days at best, but it was the truth. He hadn't been laid since he got here either. Or in a few months. He had been busy preparing himself for what Every's uncle had told her would be a difficult target. The most difficult Gideon had ever seen. And when he found out why she would be so challenging, Gideon was more than ready to get the show on the road. Every first, this Dr next and then who knew where this pursuit would take the male? And maybe he might even have a side kick from time to time.

He stood up then, the glass being set back on the counter of the bar before his head was nudged to the door. "Why don't we do something about that, Mona?" Her company so far had been valuable and enjoyable. Gideon doubted that was about to change.

Mona took one last drink of the amber liquid in her glass. The burning cigarette hitting the liquid left a acrid odor in the air as Mona slid off of the barstool. She took a quick glance at his *** with a smirk on her face. She didn't know if Gio thought this was a normal thing for her. Tonight she didn't care. Despite Monas brash demeanor and her gutter behavior most times it was a rare thing for a guy to get inside of her. She didn't have the time or the inclination for most of these fucks that hung around here .

She followed Gio whatever his name was. She didn't even know his last name. Hell she was betting that Gio was just a nick name. The guy was guarding his secrets well but for some odd reason she felt that she could trust him, That was a rarity in this place and why not have a little fun. Hell she deserved it. She couldn't resist as she walked next to him her hand grabbed a firm jean clad buttock . A **** eating grin spread on her lips as she asked " So your place or mine ?"

After a hand grabbed his ***, his arm draped around Mona's shoulder and was placed not that far from one of her three best assets. The other two were her mouth and her brain. Gideon enjoyed smart people, but smart women were far and few between in his mind. And the mouth-well, there were two reasons he could enjoy that.

His place or hers. His place, was a hotel and Mona would know where that hotel was. Not that he couldn't move to another hotel, but there was a small issue of trust. While Gideon appreciated Mona's information, her attitude and bluntness, he didn't quite trust her yet. Yet, she was willing to take him to her place. Which indicated that she either trusted him, or she didn't give a crap if he meant her any danger. He believed she probably could take care of herself. The accounts she told seemed to be something that didn't happen just yesterday or last week. She probably had a couple years of training on him. "Depends. Does your place have a couple beers in the fridge?" He shrugged as a hand pushed open the door of the bar, so that they could both leave out of it side by side. Gideo figured that worse case scenario, Mona didn't and they would go back to his hotel room. If things went sideways, there were at least a dozen other hotels, or motels in Harper Rock.

Mona half expected that response. He was still being secretive. That was ok by her. Sometimes trust took time to build and even though she had a good feeling about him. If her suspicions were correct, he had a good reason to keep his secrets. Mona just had to give him a good enough reason to give them up or show him that she could be trusted. So her place it was " Well Gio I always have a few beers in the fridge and You're more than welcome to a few. Its not far and I'm on my bike. Do you have a ride of your own or Is your manhood secure enough to be seen riding behind a chick on a bike ?"
