Lyonel approached the Lydia and the two other vampires. Giving a head bow to the new vampires he addresses the group. "Greetings this fine evening, I hope my actions have not bothered you this evening. Its just I find this room so intriguing. I am grateful to Lady Lydia's generosity. Helping me find...

Lyonel kept to himself, not wishing to disturb others business. He did however keep his eyes and ears open, this is a new city and its vampires strangers. Vampires are predators by nature and he did not want to end up in anyone's aim. He still needed to gain the lodging he wanted in the city and nee...

Lyonel finished counting with a slightly puzzled look on his face and then put his hand down. He turned back to Lydia with a full and youthful smile on his face. "I do not mean to embarrass you, there is just something off about this room. I will do my best to refrain from acting so flamboyantly." T...

Lyonel quickly checked everyone's auras to get a basis for the mood of the room, he noted the mystics or magic users in the room. Everyone seemed engrossed in conversation and since he did not know anyone here he addressed the only one he did know, if only slightly. "Nice decor. Does the Prince ofte...

Following her wave out, Lyonel escorted Lady Lydia onto the street. "I have never met Demosthenes but have heard old stories about him." Lyonel smiled faintly, "Some say he is quite mad, although they don't usually say it anywhere around him." "You say you were out following him when I came across y...

Lyonel brought his own mind into contact with the cudgel, but got little information. A clearer look at the man's face was a start, but it didn't seem that the item and it's owner had a strong bond, and at least for now there was no other useful information. A Start, perhaps see if others have clai...

The garden was small, but well-kept. A graveled path walked a figure-8 through it, with a small stone bench in the center. Most of the plants were night-blooming flowers, scenting the air softly amongst the small evergreens that separated the sections. At the back of the garden was the herb patch, ...

"Your home is beautiful Lady Lydia. I can only hope to find a place in this city that will have half of its beauty in ten years. Perhaps when I do get a place to call my own you would care to share some of your gardeners to help get my grounds up to par." Seeing her for what seemed like the first ti...

Lyonel followed the directions given, more or less. The route taken seemed chaotic, crossing the street multiple times to stop. He bounced from her right side to her left and once had them freeze in there tracks halfway across a street as a stray dog picked his head up to look at them, only continui...

Lyonel felt her shiver and heard the panic in her voice even if he couldn't understand her word. "Yes, I felt it as well," he said in a whispered voice, "perhaps we should find shelter quickly before it looks our way again." Quickly walking the maze of streets Lyonel searched for a busy street or in...

Aziz had vanished, leaving her alone with the new arrival. Delicately stepping around the blood in the alley, Lydia walked forward to take his arm. "We should leave now, m'lord," she said in perfect Italian. "If you would walk with me?". The young man took her arm, frowned, then quickly moved to he...

"Mendo, when you are finished drag him to a different alley a ways off." Lyonel scanned the alley looking for possible witnesses or any evidence of vampires but only finding the body of the guard. There were few windows and they were all dark. Lyonel kicked his senses up listening for any unseen obs...

"This man witnessed nothing." Lyonel said as he searched the body, "Killing this man will do nothing but waste his life and his blood." Searching the mans body looking for secret holding pockets but found nothing but his money pouch, which he tossed aside, and a simple necklace with a cross. Smiling...

"Kill them," Lydia ordered the two men tersely. "No witnesses." Then she sent her blood rushing through her body, blurring into a burst of speed, avoiding the fallen crates in an effort to stop the flight of the two remaining mortals. He looked at the blood coating the ground. "What a waste," he tu...

Lyonel walks past the carnage of the fight to where the two men ran and scans the ground. He bends down to pick up a discarded cudgel that the man who was not wearing a uniform dropped as he turned to run. Not seeing any other weapons there Lyonel frowned. The other runner seemed to have held onto h...

Lyonel continued to search while Mendo moved forward to make sure someone didn't attack either of the other vampires from behind but he dare not stray to far and leave his master vulnerable.

Lyonel followed the Moor Aziz to the alley staying back from the warrior so as not to get in his way. Mendo watched Lyonel's back but was ready to assist the Moor if it was needed. Mendo had no wish to come between a vampire warrior and his kills. Lyonel had questions about these ruffians and probed...

"Oh good. Guard, there seems to be a group of men, who could be drunk, looking for trouble a short distance away. Perhaps you could disperse them before they get out of hand and someone ... gets hurt." Putting a hand on Mendo's shoulder as a cue for him to relax a little Lyonel addressed Lydia. "Goo...

Those men down the alley won't stand a chance against two kindred if they do intend on harm. Then Lyonel watched as the Moor called Aziz left Lydia. Hmmm... The odds didn't look as good if it came to blows now. He looked to Mendo and sent a silent message. *Stay right behind me. Be ready for trouble...

Lyonel suddenly got the distinct impression he was going the wrong way, or maybe going that way had served its purposes now. He was close to... something. Lyonel stopped and retreated a few paces and started scanning the area. Not wanting to miss anything he used the gifts of the blood to enhance h...

I'll agree that Aberrant is the best superhero game that I've come across as well but that isn't saying much. Most Superhero games I've played or even looked at (Marvel has made at least a couple, one was even partly good) have all needed some retouching before making them fun if not playable. The S...

Lyonel's pace quickened, moving left and right down the streets and alleys. Mendo kept pace right behind with Philip lagging just behind him. Lyonel would pause occasionally to shift barrel or mark a sign with mud only to be called away from his work to once again move through the streets toward an ...

I think I see his O/C Complex now. That's just amusing. I fear for him when he sees the gaudily patterns of Lydia's garments. Brocade in linen, light wool, or Egyptian cotton. Silk embroidery, some of it large strips woven into the fabric, with stylized Greco-Roman and Arabic designs. Large round o...
