sits at the computer terminal running his hacking software.

"You're free to watch, but you really should learn it all old-school to get a feel for how the nodes work."
Ripper
on the screen:
Ripper
+ File "Evidence" has been downloaded. You found some evidence which implicates Jesse Fforde in a crime. Jesse Fforde's police notoriety is currently reasonably low.
Ripper
begins filing in further a long list of convicted misdemanors.
Ripper
"Nudity in public, drunk and disorderly, public nuisance, noise complaint, automobile accident, hit and run..."
Ripper
"can you think of anything else to add?"
Ember March
"Zombies. It had to be zombies..." She murmurs, gunfire ringing out as she dispatches a few of the shufflers. "W... what?" Her head whips around. "We are doing... what, exactly? And, why?"
Ripper
"To fabricate further evidence that implicate them in other crimes."
Ripper
added to the evidence against the individual. Their notoriety increased by 2 points.
Ripper
"Just having fun, love."
Ripper
"A lot of peoples gather here for pot shots."
Ripper
"Nothing ever too dangerous about without company and there's a piano there in the corner."
Ember March
"Play something for me?" She reloads.
Ripper
"I never play....piano." *voice impersonation and he loads up another terminal shell*
Ember March
Her nose wrinkles. "Then - sing me a song."
Ripper
"There's a feral running about that can knock out a few tunes if you tip him."
Ripper
"Sing you a....who the hell are you thinking about in th-"
Ripper
"What song."
Ember March
"Any song you like."
Ripper
rolls his eyes and brings up a playlist on itunes.

Ember March
Ember flashes a smile, and dances a little while the bullets of the .308 riddle zombie flesh. She soon tires of this game, and moves to glance at the terminal. "Ripper, who is this guy, anyway?" She lightly flicks her wrist, motioning to the vampire, "Come on, let's go somewhere more fun."
Ripper
"We could scout out over the goverment agents trading notes in the Wonderland bar."
Ripper
"They've been stationed there a few days now. Might even find something worth recovering that your goverment would intereseted in bargaining for."
Ripper
"That's assuming they're not already on a seat of that table."
Ember March
"Why not?"
Ember March
Ember replies breezily as she is preparing to leave.
Ripper
"I'm assuming you know the way already."
Ember March
"Nope."
Ripper
tosses her a key ring with an igniter on it.
Ripper
"Either I'll lead you there or we take the express."
Ember March
Ember catches the keyring. "What's this?"
Ripper
"The road is not the journey for me. It's a loaner until you find your way around the streets."
Ripper
"If you ever want to have an explore for yourself it'd be easier while moving on two wheels."
Ember March
"You're sweet, but, I can't... accept this, Ripper. I really, really appreciate the thought." She tries to push the keyring back into his hand.
Ripper
"I can't shadow you everywhere after all; and I doubt you'd want that even"
Ripper
"I do expect it back, and it can even be now if you insist upon it."
Ripper
"But in the meantime you'll get better use out of it than I would do."
Ripper
*extends palm open up for them back
Ember March
She presses them into his palm. "Thank you. Really. The thought is certainly appreciated."
Ripper

You never have to worry about getting lost so long as you don't lose that tome home. ;)
Jack Diddly
(Did you see my message? I think it got cut off
Alexandrea
it did. I saw part one of it, lol)))
Jack Diddly
Good deal
Jack Diddly
So what's next, here, my sire?
Alexandrea
Can you always kill those Ferals, Jack? Maybe you should start right in the catacombs...
Jack Diddly
This is the first time I've seen one. We don't all become like that do we?
Alexandrea
((I need to explain those B&E thingies, the necklace and the false alarm, also how to avoid killing guards cus that gets your dude shot at))
Jack Diddly
(Definitely don't want to be shot at haha)
Alexandrea
no, those are the vampires that we wild and nuts before hand... they are a sort of cross between the zombies and us *shudders*
Alexandrea
I don't really know to much about them., I just know they are dangerous and put all of us at risk
Alexandrea
Let's talk B&E That's my fave. lol ;) And if you don't need to be here *waves around the lobby* easy enough to leave!
Jack Diddly
Fair enough then
Alexandrea
That necklace I gave you? It's magical. If you keep it when you are breaking and entering, the guards might not even see you even if you are right next to them! O.O ((one in four odds))
Jack Diddly
And here I thought it was just a stylish momento
Alexandrea
And this gizmo? *shows him one of her other false alrams* this one will save your butt if you accidentally set off any alarms. You have to find a locked door, electric lock... mechanical won't work... then set this false alarm on it and it sends a signal that cancels the alarm!
Alexandrea
*chuckles* :) Yeah, it can be that too! lol
Jack Diddly
Got it
Alexandrea
Now always B&E unarmed. ((unequip the weapons AND change battle tactics to flee not fight)) so you don't kill anyone by accident. Those human guards are really really fragile... ((those sucker will die from one slap, swear to Goddess, lol))
Jack Diddly
Wouldn't want to be pegged a murderer, makes sense to me
Alexandrea
and killing guards will up the amount of negative attention you will get from the cops and soldiers. ((It raises the notoriety level which increases the odds of that happening))
Alexandrea
exactly. *nods* you get it. You're pretty smart for a fledgling, lol. ;)
Alexandrea
so queation time.
Alexandrea
((*question))
Jack Diddly
Trust me, I don't want the cops to have this pretty mug -circles his face- in their stations
Alexandrea
((also you can find the B&E targets on the map, do you have that bookmarked? there is a link to it on the Q board))
Jack Diddly
It's all pretty clear, steal stuff don't kill anyone, I can handle that
Alexandrea
Yeah, you're an Allurist alright! *laughs with delight*
Alexandrea
((also if you can wait on selling loot, I suggest you do until he gets that 'silver tongue' power, imo))
Jack Diddly
(That was my first power, figured it come in handy to make some $$$ early on)
Alexandrea
It might seem a long way off but there are some powers you can learn eventually that will help in B&E even more. ((Distraction and Hiding in shadows))
Alexandrea
((smart.))
Jack Diddly
-nods in understanding-
Alexandrea
I also have started you with a few other toys that will help in the B&E, like smoke bombs and knock out bombs, but you'll need to learn to make your own. I can help with supplies for that once you are ready ((he has to get mechanics first))
Alexandrea
((now if we hadn't had to be ooc so much? WE could submit this as an rp to the forum. You seem to be a very prolific writer so I think you'll get to use that feature a lot))
Alexandrea
((but a ton of braclets of ooc chatter is frowned upon in an rp... LOL ;) ))
Alexandrea
Now surly you must have some questions for me?
Jack Diddly
(Thanks, That's kind of you to say. I haven't done the live action thing in awhile, need to get used to it. Yeah I can't see points awarded for OOC to be looked on kindly.)
Jack Diddly
I'm sure I do, as well. This is all still so strange to me, kind of like a waking dream. I'll probably think of something once you leave
Alexandrea
Once you feel comfortable enough, I want you to meet the rest of the family. ok?
Alexandrea
*nods* that is always the way it is, every job interview I ever had I was a blank when they asked if I had questions until I was half way home, lol.
Jack Diddly
Yeah, I think I can manage that
Alexandrea
Very good. :) I can't wait for you to meet Meara, I am sure you will get along great. :) All my childer are awesome but she has the same gift you do. Music!
Alexandrea
Anything else you might like a tour of today or you've seen enough for now? ((too much at once and I am worried you won't remember how tyo get around))
Jack Diddly
-smiles shyly- wouldn't call what I have a gift, but always happy to meet a fellow music lover
Alexandrea
Well I would call it a gift! And no arguing with the sire thing allowed. lol ;)
Jack Diddly
I think I am set for today, I'll find you if things get crazy (that very well might happen haha)
Alexandrea
Just hang on to those things, esp., that tome home, and you'll be fine ((bookmark the map))
Jack Diddly
Will do (also will do haha)
Alexandrea
Alexandrea
((we cover everything? I feel as if I have forgotten something... >.>))
Jack Diddly
(I thought it seemed pretty comprehensive)
Alexandrea
Oh that blood thief who lives in the abandoned subway under our Clocktower...
Jack Diddly
Blood theif? -raises an eyebrow-
Jack Diddly
(Thief**)
Alexandrea
you'll want to hunt him eventually. ((they have a relic that is a rare drop every vamp needs, armlet of blood buffering. so long as you keep Jack active, he won't lose that daily pint of blood))
Alexandrea
Yesh
Alexandrea
there are humans who will drink OUR blood >..> ..< LOL))
Alexandrea
Alright then. I think that's enough for our first day. :) You can call me anytime, you know. I'm always close by and there is always one of the family at the shop. Don't be a stranger, k? ;)
Jack Diddly
( I can imagine, gotta love the timezones.) Thank you, for everything Alex. You'll be seeing a lot of me, I'm afraid
Alexandrea
Glad to hear it! *gives him a quick tight hug* See ya! ;) *poofs* ((lol ;) See ya!))
Eva
So what is on your mind ?
Sloan
let out a breath. "We... have never met. I am Sloan. I wish the circumstances were better but..." He shrugged. "I want to say I don't fully know your side so I can't be unbiased here. Skoll is my sire. He saved me when I was dying. He's not as..." His brow furrowed and he stopped. "Tell me your side."
Eva
"I am Eva West this isnt exactly the best way to meet someone i have to agree. My side ? I gave Skoll this life Im not sure what i did ... He has been like a petulant child blaming everyone saying we are defunct the worst yadda yadda yadda ...continuiously complaining yet making no effort There is only so much we will take ... You are a West ... you dont talk **** unless you can back it up . There is a standard You want to be someone act like someone."
Sloan
Ah... okay. Well, that makes sense. It sounds like you don't know his side. I'm not surprised. He's not an open book. Believe me, there have been times I've wanted to kill him. I almost did once. -smiled faintly- But I love him very much. And I know he has a good heart. I don't know if you know... but Skoll tried to hold an event on Valentine's Day for all the Wests... but only Blaize and his childe showed up.
Sloan
What I'm trying to say is that he does try but I don't think people give him a chance. He's rough around the edges, yes. But when you get disappointed too many times in a row, that happens. I don't know if you know.. but a short time after Skoll was turned, his fiance was killed?
Eva
Yes i know this now ... I was not able to attend and he stopped talking to me. Telling Wolfgang West that his line is **** isnt exactly a smart thing to do
Eva
If he wants a chance picking up the phone and asking for time is
Sloan
Mm, that wasn't the only issue. Skoll feels ignored a lot in his own family. He lives in Kaspar's shadow and believes you care more for his brother than him. That's the sort of hurt that grows with time. I mean, it's clear to me now that you didn't know any of this before and again, I'm not really surprised. He has a lot of pride. But he doesn't truly hate the Wests. When a group of people who are supposed to be close to you make you feel left out, you can't help but feel resentment. You know?
Sloan
Skoll comes from a big family, Eva. All he knows is a big family. To go from that to being isolated would stun and upset anyone, I think.
Eva
So you are telling me hes Jealous of Kaspar ... Kaspar comes and visits me Kaspar dosnt sulk and pout he just accepts me as i am. I dont know what to do with Skoll but he cant keep on as is. He isolates himself then blames others for being lonely.
Sloan
I think it's gotten to a point where he does isolate himself, yes. But it's only because when he was new to the Wests, he had made efforts to make friends but was rejected. Maybe not by you but by others. There are two sides to every story, Eva. I know, for a fact, Skoll isn't a bad man and I'll preach it until I'm turned to ashes. Kaspar visits you. Kaspar doesn't sulk. But Kaspar is Kaspar. You didn't turn Skoll because he's Kaspar. You turned Skoll because he's Skoll. Try to love him for who he is and he will love you for who you are. He is your creation. Love him. And let him love you.
Eva
Yes he is my creation and i do love him ... but i wont tollerate this behavior He is a West now. He wants to be loved Hell he needs to start with something besides Hey Dude your line is **** over and over.
Sloan
He tried, to be fair. He wanted to do something for the Wests with his Valentine's day gala. Believe me, Eva. I was there, I saw all the effort he put into it. But no one came. That **** hurts. As far as his comment to Wolfgang goes, I think he meant "your line has gone to ****", as in no one is active. Because really, no one is.
Sloan
What I'm trying to say is that you both will need to meet eachother halfway. But, Eva, you're his sire and creator. You are the elder here. Doesn't that count for something?
Eva
You know what Enough ... He quit talking to me ... ive said this more than once He stopped ... Im sorry i missed his party But no more excuses no more whining no more blaming everyone else He can pick up a phone and call me anytime He needs help pick up the phone and call i will help but until he does Stop the bitching he can pull up his boot straps and be a man. Here is my number if you need anything Call me im avaliable anytime. if not i will get back to you. If you want to get to know the rest of the line make a effort i will help you. I will be waiting for those calls Nice to meet you Sloan .
Sloan
Fair enough, Eva. I tried. Nice to meet you as well. Have a good evening.

Found the stage..right?
Bernard Pathon
Well that a funny bar
Jazir Pevinah
adjusts the new sunglasses he'd bought given he couldn't find his old pair. They were probably broken and stuffed in the couch cushion somewhere back in his apartment. The voice drew his attention and his shaded eyes landed on Bernard curiously.
Jazir Pevinah
"Hmm?"
Bernard Pathon
Was walking to the barman
Bernard Pathon
A beer please
Bernard Pathon
He start to look around the place
Jazir Pevinah
has to take a moment to remind himself that things had changed since he'd been in hiding. Not everyone knew who he was anymore. His enemies had likely thought he perished. Which meant that each snippet of muted conversation in the place wasn't about him. Lets out a nervous sort of breath to regain his equilibrium.
Bernard Pathon
just finish hes work day so he still have a shirt with a line ''best mechanic''
Bernard Pathon
look at the men beside him
Bernard Pathon
The beer gonna be nice
Jazir Pevinah
He hadn't drank beer in awhile, he hadn't even considered it, so on edge was he about being noticed. But the statement directed his way had his eyebrows lifting. Because that had been directed at him.
Jazir Pevinah
"Yeah?"
Bernard Pathon
I have been working the whole day on that car. Damn that driver broke his motor really good
Jazir Pevinah
"Did he?"
Jazir Pevinah
now looks amused.
Jazir Pevinah
"This isn't the best place for a human to come drinking you know?"
Bernard Pathon
start to look around carefully
Jazir Pevinah
seems incredulous at this, laughs at the way he looked around.
Bernard Pathon
What do you mean ? Is this place own by some gang member or something?
Jazir Pevinah
"Not that zombies haven't escaped the entire concept of the quarantine area and aren't all over the main city now. Still."
Jazir Pevinah
blinks at him.
Jazir Pevinah
"You've heard of vampires? This is a known gathering area for those who like to hunt other supernatural creatures."
Bernard Pathon
start to change shade of white
Jazir Pevinah
reaches up to get sunglasses lower and barely perched on his nose so his blood orange eyes could glow at Bernard and scrutinize him.
Jazir Pevinah
"You're really that oblivous?"
Bernard Pathon
well! I'm always lost in my mind so ... well I dont want to disturb anybody
Jazir Pevinah
"Disturb wouldn't be the word for it I think."
Moose St-Claire
me/was in a corner working on some computer and hope that human gonna receive it.
Jazir Pevinah
"What's your name?"
Jazir Pevinah
addresses this to Bernard, the tone of his voice wholly inquisitive in a soft sort of demanding way.
Bernard Pathon
Bernard Pathon. So you dont need a mechanic would you? ( as he was looking more at the main door)
Jazir Pevinah
"As it stands I just acquired a motorcycle and sports car. I'm sure I'd enjoy the opportunity to keep both in good working condition."
Jazir Pevinah
moves closer to, easily wandering between Bernard and the 'door'.
Bernard Pathon
Eyes open as we was more interest in the job than in the fact that hes life might be shorten
Bernard Pathon
Ok! what do you have in mind? some touch up , some upgrade , custom?
Jazir Pevinah
"What can you do that's custom?"
Bernard Pathon
well with the tool I have at work not to much
Jazir Pevinah
"What if you had the money to get better tools?"
Bernard Pathon
you can see star in hes eyes
Bernard Pathon
you have my attention
Jazir Pevinah
smiles, flashing sharp teeth at.
Jazir Pevinah
"As you have mine. Money is not an issue for me, I have too much."
Bernard Pathon
if you can pay me better than my job I'll work for you
Jazir Pevinah
"What does your job pay you?"
Bernard Pathon
cheese the minimum , like 15 buck an hour
Jazir Pevinah
"I don't have my own business...yet. It's far too fun sabotaging others."
Bernard Pathon
Its the garage at the corner there
Jazir Pevinah
"Anything I paid you would be once a week more like."
Jazir Pevinah
"A sizable deposit of potentially five thousand."
Bernard Pathon
you have my full attention
Bernard Pathon
and do you have a place I can work on you're car
Jazir Pevinah
"There wouldn't be a need to quit the job you have now, I'm willing to give you time to do what I need and if I like what you do then you will receive full payment each week."
Bernard Pathon
I'll need to tell that women I'm not gonna be at the same place
Jazir Pevinah
"I live in the Beta Towers. On the fifteenth floor. I can show you where my apartment is and invite you in so you can visit and keep me updated. The vehicles are in the garage."
Bernard Pathon
nice ! just tell me what do you want me to do
Bernard Pathon
and it shall be done. And if I ever build other stuff do you might be interested
Jazir Pevinah
"I'd pay you the first five thousand now so you can get whatever tools necessary. Can you customize the paintjob, make it burnt orange with black designs around the body of it? I'd like there to be orange lights that shine down at the road at night. I want the radio system and speakers to be the best there is and I want the engine as quiet as possible. As for the motorcycle...similar. The body of it, if we could redesign that into something skull themed, orange and black, I'd be beyond satisfied."
Jazir Pevinah
"It depends on how well you do with this."
Bernard Pathon
Let me do some graphic and I'll send them to you for the approval before doing anything. And then you.ll decide
Bernard Pathon
send me some picture of the car and bike so I can start to work
Bernard Pathon
wrote a phone number on a piece of paper and give it
Bernard Pathon
here's an idea
Bernard Pathon
https://i.p i n i m g.com/originals/8f/20/99 ... 705c67.jpg
Bernard Pathon
https://i.p i n i m g.com/736x/65/7c/3c/657c ... -bikes.jpg
Bernard Pathon
show him some picture from his phone
Jazir Pevinah
"I sent you an email with what they look like."
Jazir Pevinah
can do so with nothing more than a thought. Peers at the pictures and grins.
Jazir Pevinah
"I like the first one more."
Bernard Pathon
good I'll start to work with it
Bernard Pathon
and you toll me the best part?
Jazir Pevinah
"The money is already in your account."
Bernard Pathon
cool I'll order the part tomorow morning and send it to you're garage so I'll start to work on it first
Jazir Pevinah
"Just don't die?"
Jazir Pevinah
seems amused.
Bernard Pathon
I actualy dont want to die unless I'm being turn into something bether.
Jazir Pevinah
"I'm not sure what I am is anything better."
Jazir Pevinah
hesitates, squints.
Jazir Pevinah
"Well alright, no it is."
Jazir Pevinah
"But I'm not the best one to Sire someone."
Jazir Pevinah
"What I am will draw enemies."
Jazir Pevinah
"If I did turn you then I'd demand you provide for me."
Bernard Pathon
well firs lets do you're bike and I got a women bike I might need to arrange too.
Jazir Pevinah
nods at this.

((but a ton of braclets of ooc chatter is frowned upon in an rp... LOL ;) ))
Alexandrea
Now surly you must have some questions for me?
Jack Diddly
(Thanks, That's kind of you to say. I haven't done the live action thing in awhile, need to get used to it. Yeah I can't see points awarded for OOC to be looked on kindly.)
Jack Diddly
I'm sure I do, as well. This is all still so strange to me, kind of like a waking dream. I'll probably think of something once you leave
Alexandrea
Once you feel comfortable enough, I want you to meet the rest of the family. ok?
Alexandrea
*nods* that is always the way it is, every job interview I ever had I was a blank when they asked if I had questions until I was half way home, lol.
Jack Diddly
Yeah, I think I can manage that
Alexandrea
Very good. :) I can't wait for you to meet Meara, I am sure you will get along great. :) All my childer are awesome but she has the same gift you do. Music!
Alexandrea
Anything else you might like a tour of today or you've seen enough for now? ((too much at once and I am worried you won't remember how tyo get around))
Jack Diddly
-smiles shyly- wouldn't call what I have a gift, but always happy to meet a fellow music lover
Alexandrea
Well I would call it a gift!
And no arguing with the sire thing allowed. lol ;)Jack Diddly
I think I am set for today, I'll find you if things get crazy (that very well might happen haha)
Alexandrea
Just hang on to those things, esp., that tome home, and you'll be fine ((bookmark the map
))Jack Diddly
Will do (also will do haha)
Alexandrea
Alexandrea
((we cover everything? I feel as if I have forgotten something... >.>))
Jack Diddly
(I thought it seemed pretty comprehensive)
Alexandrea
Oh that blood thief who lives in the abandoned subway under our Clocktower...
Jack Diddly
Blood theif? -raises an eyebrow-
Jack Diddly
(Thief**)
Alexandrea
you'll want to hunt him eventually. ((they have a relic that is a rare drop every vamp needs, armlet of blood buffering. so long as you keep Jack active, he won't lose that daily pint of blood))
Alexandrea
Yesh
Alexandrea
there are humans who will drink OUR blood >..> ..< LOL))
Alexandrea
Alright then. I think that's enough for our first day. :) You can call me anytime, you know. I'm always close by and there is always one of the family at the shop. Don't be a stranger, k? ;)
Jack Diddly
( I can imagine, gotta love the timezones.) Thank you, for everything Alex. You'll be seeing a lot of me, I'm afraid
Alexandrea
Glad to hear it!
*gives him a quick tight hug* See ya! ;) *poofs* ((lol ;) See ya!))Eva
So what is on your mind ?
Sloan
let out a breath. "We... have never met. I am Sloan. I wish the circumstances were better but..." He shrugged. "I want to say I don't fully know your side so I can't be unbiased here. Skoll is my sire. He saved me when I was dying. He's not as..." His brow furrowed and he stopped. "Tell me your side."
Eva
"I am Eva West this isnt exactly the best way to meet someone i have to agree. My side ? I gave Skoll this life Im not sure what i did ... He has been like a petulant child blaming everyone saying we are defunct the worst yadda yadda yadda ...continuiously complaining yet making no effort There is only so much we will take ... You are a West ... you dont talk **** unless you can back it up . There is a standard You want to be someone act like someone."
Sloan
Ah... okay. Well, that makes sense. It sounds like you don't know his side. I'm not surprised. He's not an open book. Believe me, there have been times I've wanted to kill him. I almost did once. -smiled faintly- But I love him very much. And I know he has a good heart. I don't know if you know... but Skoll tried to hold an event on Valentine's Day for all the Wests... but only Blaize and his childe showed up.
Sloan
What I'm trying to say is that he does try but I don't think people give him a chance. He's rough around the edges, yes. But when you get disappointed too many times in a row, that happens. I don't know if you know.. but a short time after Skoll was turned, his fiance was killed?
Eva
Yes i know this now ... I was not able to attend and he stopped talking to me. Telling Wolfgang West that his line is **** isnt exactly a smart thing to do
Eva
If he wants a chance picking up the phone and asking for time is
Sloan
Mm, that wasn't the only issue. Skoll feels ignored a lot in his own family. He lives in Kaspar's shadow and believes you care more for his brother than him. That's the sort of hurt that grows with time. I mean, it's clear to me now that you didn't know any of this before and again, I'm not really surprised. He has a lot of pride. But he doesn't truly hate the Wests. When a group of people who are supposed to be close to you make you feel left out, you can't help but feel resentment. You know?
Sloan
Skoll comes from a big family, Eva. All he knows is a big family. To go from that to being isolated would stun and upset anyone, I think.
Eva
So you are telling me hes Jealous of Kaspar ... Kaspar comes and visits me Kaspar dosnt sulk and pout he just accepts me as i am. I dont know what to do with Skoll but he cant keep on as is. He isolates himself then blames others for being lonely.
Sloan
I think it's gotten to a point where he does isolate himself, yes. But it's only because when he was new to the Wests, he had made efforts to make friends but was rejected. Maybe not by you but by others. There are two sides to every story, Eva. I know, for a fact, Skoll isn't a bad man and I'll preach it until I'm turned to ashes. Kaspar visits you. Kaspar doesn't sulk. But Kaspar is Kaspar. You didn't turn Skoll because he's Kaspar. You turned Skoll because he's Skoll. Try to love him for who he is and he will love you for who you are. He is your creation. Love him. And let him love you.
Eva
Yes he is my creation and i do love him ... but i wont tollerate this behavior He is a West now. He wants to be loved Hell he needs to start with something besides Hey Dude your line is **** over and over.
Sloan
He tried, to be fair. He wanted to do something for the Wests with his Valentine's day gala. Believe me, Eva. I was there, I saw all the effort he put into it. But no one came. That **** hurts. As far as his comment to Wolfgang goes, I think he meant "your line has gone to ****", as in no one is active. Because really, no one is.
Sloan
What I'm trying to say is that you both will need to meet eachother halfway. But, Eva, you're his sire and creator. You are the elder here. Doesn't that count for something?
Eva
You know what Enough ... He quit talking to me ... ive said this more than once He stopped ... Im sorry i missed his party But no more excuses no more whining no more blaming everyone else He can pick up a phone and call me anytime He needs help pick up the phone and call i will help but until he does Stop the bitching he can pull up his boot straps and be a man. Here is my number if you need anything Call me im avaliable anytime. if not i will get back to you. If you want to get to know the rest of the line make a effort i will help you. I will be waiting for those calls Nice to meet you Sloan .
Sloan
Fair enough, Eva. I tried. Nice to meet you as well. Have a good evening.
EssentialWinter
Found the stage..right?
Bernard Pathon
Well that a funny bar
Jazir Pevinah
adjusts the new sunglasses he'd bought given he couldn't find his old pair. They were probably broken and stuffed in the couch cushion somewhere back in his apartment. The voice drew his attention and his shaded eyes landed on Bernard curiously.
Jazir Pevinah
"Hmm?"
Bernard Pathon
Was walking to the barman
Bernard Pathon
A beer please
Bernard Pathon
He start to look around the place
Jazir Pevinah
has to take a moment to remind himself that things had changed since he'd been in hiding. Not everyone knew who he was anymore. His enemies had likely thought he perished. Which meant that each snippet of muted conversation in the place wasn't about him. Lets out a nervous sort of breath to regain his equilibrium.
Bernard Pathon
just finish hes work day so he still have a shirt with a line ''best mechanic''
Bernard Pathon
look at the men beside him
Bernard Pathon
The beer gonna be nice
Jazir Pevinah
He hadn't drank beer in awhile, he hadn't even considered it, so on edge was he about being noticed. But the statement directed his way had his eyebrows lifting. Because that had been directed at him.
Jazir Pevinah
"Yeah?"
Bernard Pathon
I have been working the whole day on that car. Damn that driver broke his motor really good
Jazir Pevinah
"Did he?"
Jazir Pevinah
now looks amused.
Jazir Pevinah
"This isn't the best place for a human to come drinking you know?"
Bernard Pathon
start to look around carefully
Jazir Pevinah
seems incredulous at this, laughs at the way he looked around.
Bernard Pathon
What do you mean ? Is this place own by some gang member or something?
Jazir Pevinah
"Not that zombies haven't escaped the entire concept of the quarantine area and aren't all over the main city now. Still."
Jazir Pevinah
blinks at him.
Jazir Pevinah
"You've heard of vampires? This is a known gathering area for those who like to hunt other supernatural creatures."
Bernard Pathon
start to change shade of white
Jazir Pevinah
reaches up to get sunglasses lower and barely perched on his nose so his blood orange eyes could glow at Bernard and scrutinize him.
Jazir Pevinah
"You're really that oblivous?"
Bernard Pathon
well! I'm always lost in my mind so ... well I dont want to disturb anybody
Jazir Pevinah
"Disturb wouldn't be the word for it I think."
Moose St-Claire
me/was in a corner working on some computer and hope that human gonna receive it.
Jazir Pevinah
"What's your name?"
Jazir Pevinah
addresses this to Bernard, the tone of his voice wholly inquisitive in a soft sort of demanding way.
Bernard Pathon
Bernard Pathon. So you dont need a mechanic would you? ( as he was looking more at the main door)
Jazir Pevinah
"As it stands I just acquired a motorcycle and sports car. I'm sure I'd enjoy the opportunity to keep both in good working condition."
Jazir Pevinah
moves closer to, easily wandering between Bernard and the 'door'.
Bernard Pathon
Eyes open as we was more interest in the job than in the fact that hes life might be shorten
Bernard Pathon
Ok! what do you have in mind? some touch up , some upgrade , custom?
Jazir Pevinah
"What can you do that's custom?"
Bernard Pathon
well with the tool I have at work not to much
Jazir Pevinah
"What if you had the money to get better tools?"
Bernard Pathon
you can see star in hes eyes
Bernard Pathon
you have my attention
Jazir Pevinah
smiles, flashing sharp teeth at.
Jazir Pevinah
"As you have mine. Money is not an issue for me, I have too much."
Bernard Pathon
if you can pay me better than my job I'll work for you
Jazir Pevinah
"What does your job pay you?"
Bernard Pathon
cheese the minimum , like 15 buck an hour
Jazir Pevinah
"I don't have my own business...yet. It's far too fun sabotaging others."
Bernard Pathon
Its the garage at the corner there
Jazir Pevinah
"Anything I paid you would be once a week more like."
Jazir Pevinah
"A sizable deposit of potentially five thousand."
Bernard Pathon
you have my full attention
Bernard Pathon
and do you have a place I can work on you're car
Jazir Pevinah
"There wouldn't be a need to quit the job you have now, I'm willing to give you time to do what I need and if I like what you do then you will receive full payment each week."
Bernard Pathon
I'll need to tell that women I'm not gonna be at the same place
Jazir Pevinah
"I live in the Beta Towers. On the fifteenth floor. I can show you where my apartment is and invite you in so you can visit and keep me updated. The vehicles are in the garage."
Bernard Pathon
nice ! just tell me what do you want me to do
Bernard Pathon
and it shall be done. And if I ever build other stuff do you might be interested
Jazir Pevinah
"I'd pay you the first five thousand now so you can get whatever tools necessary. Can you customize the paintjob, make it burnt orange with black designs around the body of it? I'd like there to be orange lights that shine down at the road at night. I want the radio system and speakers to be the best there is and I want the engine as quiet as possible. As for the motorcycle...similar. The body of it, if we could redesign that into something skull themed, orange and black, I'd be beyond satisfied."
Jazir Pevinah
"It depends on how well you do with this."
Bernard Pathon
Let me do some graphic and I'll send them to you for the approval before doing anything. And then you.ll decide
Bernard Pathon
send me some picture of the car and bike so I can start to work
Bernard Pathon
wrote a phone number on a piece of paper and give it
Bernard Pathon
here's an idea
Bernard Pathon
https://i.p i n i m g.com/originals/8f/20/99 ... 705c67.jpg
Bernard Pathon
https://i.p i n i m g.com/736x/65/7c/3c/657c ... -bikes.jpg
Bernard Pathon
show him some picture from his phone
Jazir Pevinah
"I sent you an email with what they look like."
Jazir Pevinah
can do so with nothing more than a thought. Peers at the pictures and grins.
Jazir Pevinah
"I like the first one more."
Bernard Pathon
good I'll start to work with it
Bernard Pathon
and you toll me the best part?
Jazir Pevinah
"The money is already in your account."
Bernard Pathon
cool I'll order the part tomorow morning and send it to you're garage so I'll start to work on it first
Jazir Pevinah
"Just don't die?"
Jazir Pevinah
seems amused.
Bernard Pathon
I actualy dont want to die unless I'm being turn into something bether.
Jazir Pevinah
"I'm not sure what I am is anything better."
Jazir Pevinah
hesitates, squints.
Jazir Pevinah
"Well alright, no it is."
Jazir Pevinah
"But I'm not the best one to Sire someone."
Jazir Pevinah
"What I am will draw enemies."
Jazir Pevinah
"If I did turn you then I'd demand you provide for me."
Bernard Pathon
well firs lets do you're bike and I got a women bike I might need to arrange too.
Jazir Pevinah
nods at this.
