Oops.

So they couldn't legally drop this asshole.

And now he was talking about doing untoward things to Wright's person. Suddenly, the BAR wasn't as reassuring as it was roughly five seconds before.

Placate, placate.

"Hey, it's been a rough night and everyone's on edge." he said, while shifting slightly to put Chicken Boy back in the line of fire. "Let's just move on, right?"

Haakon moved. One moment he was standing there and the next he was tearing of Marcus's right arm. He tossed the arm one way, the Lasombra the other. The vampire bounced off the side of the train and landed in the gravel. "Go. Remember this instruction. I will not show such restraint next time."

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 8:27 pm

Wright blinked.

How fast?

Damn.

"Yeah," he said. He hefted the BAR, the picture of casual unconcern. "Good talking to you, we'll just be on our way."

He then started backing away, very carefully.

Marcus screamed as the arm pulled from its socket, he tried to pull away, but far too late. The arm tore off and flew away. Landing on the ground Marcus got to his feet, rage glaring in his eyes as his left hand fumbled to pull the broadsword from it's sheath. Halfway drawn Marcus stopped, the rage slowly dimming as restraint came back. Grinding his teeth together he pulled the shadows together to knit the stump at his shoulder, and grabbed his still twitching arm. With that he walked away, at the moment as tempted to kill the hotshot brujah as get into a fight with the Gangrel.

The big Gangrel walked away, unconcerned with the neonates behind him.

He slung the weapon over his shoulder. "Good seeing you, Marcus," he said, as he turned to depart.

Leo studd dumbfounded, not sure whether to pitty the poor bastard who got his arm ripped off, or take pleasure in the injury of a demon

Marcus did not say a word to the others or even look in their direction as he walked away, dissappearing behind some buildings he leaned against a train and placed his arm on the stump as the shadows filtered away. Blood poured out of the wound as Marcus quickly placed the arm on and did his best to set it properly before healing the wound.

The drain left Marcus with a twinge of hunger, he could ignore it but it was there. He looked down to his torn suit and grumbled, taking further control of the shadows he slipped them over the torn area, as the suit was black it made the tear almost unnoticable.

Well, that was one potentially lethal meeting out of the way. Wright pondered if anybody needed a good chastising, but decided nobody on his side had fucked up. The Freak had lost his arm, but that was no big deal, he'd grow it back, and he wasn't Wright's problem anyway.

They resumed their search.

They dragged the rail yard for another hour, encountering nothing of note.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:04 pm

They continued deeper into the rail yard. It was well into the night now. They saw the occassional yard bull or desperate bum, but no sign of marauding vampires. It was just when they were about to sweep another area that something caught their eye. A freight car was being unloaded in the darkness. Several men with with long barrrelled weapons were shining flash lights on a stream of people coming out of the car. They were mostly young and poorly dressed.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:20 pm

Wright got low, observing from a distance. What the hell was this.

"Blue Eyes," he whispered. "Why don't you 'mosey on up' and take a closer look, huh?"

"Very Well." Jason answered and slipped into the shadows, he began to creep up on them carefully and quietly.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:42 pm

Wright settled in and tried to stay still.

This was not a talent of his. He shifted every minute or so, and fidgeted.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:43 pm

The darkness gave Jason a lot of cover, but the gravel was inclinded to crunch noisely under his feet. Fortunately, he had a fair amount of noise cover. Maybe two score people, ranging from people in their teens to their forties were being guarded by six men with shotguns and tommyguns. Their prisoners were mostly pale in cheap rumpled suits, dresses, and coveralls. Most of their clothes were ragged and a lot of the people looked underfed.

One of the men turned towards where Jason hid by the wheels of another train. He was tall and dressed in a flashy double breasted suit with thick white pinstripes. He smiled showing two white teeth. "Well, what do we have here? A customer?"

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:12 pm

Marcus stood far away from the crowd, on the other side of the freight car. Both doors were open so it gave Marcus a pretty clear view of what was going on. And he was still hungry, every time he'd happened across someone they were always too weak, or the others had come upon him. Now however, it looked like a good meal was to be found. And perhaps something of use to him. He looked over the men in suits as he shifted to get closer, the shadows covering his movements. Marcus was trying to see which mob boss they were under.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:26 pm

The black man cocked his head, as if listening to an invisible man standing beside him. "So, you looking to buy lick?"

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:37 pm

"Lick?" Jason asked.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:40 pm

"Lick. Leech. Vamp. Kindred. You interested in purchasing any of my product?"

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:42 pm

Play along, Blue Eyes. String him on. Glib and shit, Wright mentally urged.

Thank god he hadn't sent Chicken Boy in, who would even now be sermonizing on the evils of slavery. He fidgeted a bit and shifted, looking over the herd of kine. They were a pretty scrawny lot, to his way of thinking.

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:59 pm

"Maybe, what you got."

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:03 pm

Wright cheered inwardly. Hell, there could be a real opportunity here, if he could just finess Chicken Boy out of it. Ideally, they'd take care of the Chicken Boy problem for him, but then he'd have to answer the archons about where Chicken Boy went, and he had a feeling that 'He just wandered off' wouldn't cut it.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:11 pm

Marcus caught himself from scoffing. Kindred, buying and selling kine. These fools were little more than chaff to be seperated from the wheat. Keeping the shadows around him Marcus returned to his car where he siphoned some of the gas out into a container and grabbed a package of matches. Hopefully the morons would keep the kine and the mosquitos busy.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:16 pm

Wright prepared himself to make a grand entrance to back Blue Eyes' play. He whispered softly to Chicken Boy "It's all for show, just go along." before he tensed to rise.

"Men, women, kids. You want a meal, a house boy, a concubine, a butler, or a jannissary, I've got."
