Path of the Vampire forum

Back dated April 6th, took me this long to get around to making this.

“You’re not going to even try to make this a fun party?” Her wraith said in disappointment.

“It’s not even a party. It’s just a small gathering.” Kira replied with a sigh. Her cats were coming with her, Sof was on her shoulder but Artio was rather big. Artio tried to stay on her shoulder like Sof but the feline would end up wrapping around both shoulders.

“No drinks or food!”

Kira rolled her eyes. “I’m pretty sure I’m the only who can eat or drink out of this group. What’s the point?” she growled a little. “You don’t need to stick around.”

She headed inside the Temple and relaxed by the water, feeding the fish. She made a post on the CrowNet for them to come over. She kept herself busy by checking on the flowers and plants. She frowned when she saw one of the plants dying. She placed her hand over it and it slowly perked back up. “I love my powers.” she mused before moving on. She was sure the floating wasn’t a power though, it was annoying.

“The cats are getting high.” her wraith stated.

Kira found the two felines rolling around in the catnip. “I don’t remember planting that here..” she said, she had a patch at the farm. The dogs were running loose on the farm, she didn’t want them digging in her garden so she didn’t bring them.

She shrugged, she wondered who would show up first.

Kane looked around with curiosity as he rode up to the farm on his motorbike. He had not been to the Temple before, so he was curious. The Irishman parked his bike outside before grabbing his backpack. Even though Kane didn't know most of the other people he talked to on Crownet, he always took his bagpipes to gatherings. Hopefully, the people wouldn't complain about the noise.

Aden had taken the night off work and was so glad that he got out of having to work with Ashley and Laura. He knew both of those girls were going to get him shot or killed slowly by Doc one day. But tonight they were not his problem he was supposed to be going to a party and meeting some of the people called Misfits. Valkyrie asked him to come and he said that he would be there.

Standing in front of the mirror rubbing in his beard balm looking at the reflection of what he pretended was his beard.” Don’t you just downright look sexy, it is not my fault beards make panties explode” he jokes to himself. He finishes up combing his hair and makes his way into the living room grabbing and throwing on him 50's style leather jacket zipping it up and grabbing his helmet and putting it on his head.

Aden makes his way outside locks the door and then jumped on his Harley and heads for the party. It was a nice drive as he rolled up he noticed there was another bike outside he parked a little bit left of the bike got up after kicking out his stand and standing his bike. He walks around getting a nice view of the bike. “ Nice! I wonder who that will be.” he says to himself.

Aden stops and looks up at the house he could feel her inside. 83 sure that she knows that he’s here. He still doesn’t understand why does he want to be around when he’s gets close he feels like he can’t control his temper any small thing that happens to her and he go crazy in raged. He’s been trying to control the rate doesn’t have as much of a problem is not near her. He still doesn’t quite understand why that happens. He wonders if that’s just some weird link that he has with her that he hasn’t quite learned to understand or control. But something about it tells him that it’s deeper than that.

He stands there for about five or 6 min. Just staring up at the house thinking if he should turn around and go home go out for the night or or should he just go inside. He finally takes a deep breath “ **** it. It’s been awhile.” He slowly strolls up towards the house opening the door and stepped inside hoping that she wasn’t going to say anything about him lingering since they both knew he stood outside for a while and she knows he doesn’t smoke.

Back of Temple
Front of Temple

Kira relaxed in the corner, she looked in the storage and found her violin that she used from time to time when she was here. It wasn't fancy like the one she used on stage. She hadn't been to the temple in awhile, she had been kept busy. She smiled as she ran her slender fingers over the wood, it had been awhile since she even played. She really should work on some new stuff for the lounge.

She started to play while she waited, she song softly 'I Am Stretched on Your Grave (Táim Sínte ar do Thuama)'. When someone entered the temple, Artio was the first to perk up and run down the hallway between the two parts of the temple. Kira set the violin aside and followed after the large cat while Sof trotted behind.

Kira tilted her head at the man, once she saw the bagpipes it was clear who it was. "Well hello. Are you really going to play?" she asked with a grin. She already knew the cats wouldn't like the sound however. Their reaction to a video that had bagpipes in it said it all.

She noticed Dearg finally decided to come inside, she wasn't sure why it took him so long to come inside. Unless he was one of those guys who was over protective of their bike. As much as she liked her bike, it could be fixed. "Hello Dearg."

Sof sat behind Kira, having no real interest of the new people. Artio sniffed at the air for a moment before deciding jumping into the water was far more fun than any people were.

Kira sighed, "Artio, don't be fishing!" she hissed. The cat chirped at her and ran through the water. Sof trotted over to chase the larger cat around. Kira shook her head, having cats that liked water was a problem sometimes. Expressly if one was trying to soak in a bath.

"Well, wonder who else will show up." Kira said, she could try to goat Reggie into showing up but she doubt that would work.

Song

Kane gave the blonde woman a grin in return as she came down the hallway with two cats. "Hi. Yeah, provided no one starts hatin' on 'em." He replied with a chuckle in his thick Irish accent. The dark haired fellow moved to the side so he could see both the other newcomer and the woman. Kane chuckled again as one of the cats decided to have fun in the water.

Looks over at Kane" Nice bike" then looks over at the cats then back up at Kira. " So took off might a work for bag pipes a Cats. You going to pull out the twister board next, or maybe chutes and ladders?". As he slowly shakes his head walking across the room looking for a decent place to take a seat. " You said that I supposed to meet people that I can learn to trust. Mistfits , you called them. You called family or close to it right, those were your words weren't they! You said people whom I could call on and ****? To trust since they mean a lot to you and can be trusted! So is it these cats? Or his ability to scare off with people with his bagpipes. No offense Mr.bagpipe Man. Again you have a very nice choice in bikes. I love the accent by the way, Irish? I bet your mighty fine fellow."

Aden threw himself down in the chair. " I knew Mr.Geek wasn't going to be here. I dont get you."

Kira smiled, "Well I wouldn't mind hearing them. Maybe I can play along with my violin." she said, her smile soon faded as soon as Aden opened his mouth.

"I have no idea what twister is nor chutes and ladders." she said, her eyes narrowed. "The Misfits are who I call as family. Others may show up but who want to stick around with that sort of attitude."

"Those cats are my pets.." Kira replied, the cats were now growling as well, sensing the tension. She glared at him, "Mr. Geek?" she hissed, moving over to him. She kicked him hard in the leg. "Why would Reggie want to be near you?" she said. "What the hell is your problem? If you have such a damn problem with this then just leave. Go back to work." The anger she felt made the doors rattle a little.

Kane nodded at Kira. "Yeah, that sounds like great craic." he replied. He turned to Aden. "Thanks. None taken, but my playing's not that bad. I didn't get the bike, me sire's missus got it as a present. Yeah, I'm Northern Irish. I guess I am." The Irishman was glad the grump got a serve from Kira.

Cocks his head to the side as he listens to Kira. If she seriously had never played chutes and ladders, twister or any other of those normal games as she talked he wondered if she had ever played clue guess who or Candyland. When she kicked him that was normal for their relationship she didn't in some form or fashion he was confused.

Then he turns and listens to the Irishman with the bagpipes that he is now labeled in his head The Bagpipe Man." You really not played chutes and ladders, or at least know what twisters is right? I'm pretty sure most of us can't drink nor eat. Or have the pleasure of consuming alcohol. You should've told me that that was important thing by the way in the beginning"

Looks over at Irishman then back at Kira" Candyland?? ..... Guess who? ...... Sorry? ....." since she was giving him one of those looks that he was quite used too ,he decided that it was a lost cause stop asking. not really in the fear of what she was going to do to him it was what it was. You begin thinking she was to have a horrible childhood. He should bring over some of those games in make her play with him one day.

"Irishman, please tell me you played some of those or they have similar things over there in Ireland?"

Kira sighed, her accent only showed up when she was upset. That was back when she had to deal with David. Now she had this one she had to deal with. "We shall have to figure out a song." she said to Kane. She enjoyed the song Black is the color.

She turned her attention back to Aden, as he rattle on. "Play? Are these some kind of games?" she asked confused. She looked between the two, "Only my path can eat and drink. I've heard of other paths being able to with a lot of practice but they can't taste anything.." she said. She glared at him, "I have no control over what path you become. That is all up to you and your personality...well maybe. The gods know why the hell I became an allurist when I have far more traits related to a killer." she said.

He started to list off more names. Her green eyes darted around, "Baron! You still here?"

"Yes my dear. This all is all sorts of amusing. You sired yourself another jackass." her wraith mused behind her.

"Yes, I know...what is he going on about?" Kira asked, crossing her arms.

"There are games that are mostly played by children. Adults do play twister though. Gets rather amusing when they are all drunk. I died and became a vampire then a wraith all before any of them were invented, however." Marcus replied, "I really hate to see what kind of games you played as a child. Stabby stab...I can't see you as a child though."

Kira shrugged, "I wouldn't know.." she said, sorta out of it. her eyes blank. As far as she was concerned, she had never been a child or a teenager. She was just...this. Always this. The only time she was seen herself younger was in her dreams of some other life. "Wait, I played twister. Lexy has it on the second floor of our house." she said, and they had been drinking. That was some time ago. For some reason, the name and the game didn't click at first.

She shook her head, "Anyway, when one is dying. Saying hey there's a one of 5 of 6 chance that you won't be able to eat or drink doesn't come up." she said. She found out the hard way that drugs still worked on her, it would have been better if they hadn't.
