NO LONGER ACTIVE : Tides of Sedition

Darek leaned forward, his elbows on the table as he clasped his hands. The thrall spoke of the person behind the letters, someone of power and desire for more that was clear. He or she was a mystery and that was no surprise, saying it was a great risk to start this subversion was an understatement. Targeting the barons would be delicate work and fraught with risk. Silently he went over what he knew about Lenore and the Friesian, none of it comforting. He listened and watched as the female thrall made a phone call, curious as her dull aura flickered with something more.

The power hit him like a shockwave, he could feel it down to his bones. The auras around his fellow vampires exploded into brilliant shimmering light, a variety of colors rippling along the ubiquitous violet, like oil sheens on puddles. Darek could see the emotions of them flicker and change as the power surge hit them as well. Long hidden desires and fears bubbling to the surface for that moment, exposed to him without their knowledge. He blinked slowly, sinking back in his chair as the rush of his own emotional powers exuded outward.

A slow smile formed on his lips, the dimple deepening on one side of his face as he locked eyes with Willa that sat across from him. Small, scared and weak he had judged her but at the moment he saw something ripple through her aura, faint but there. As the rush faded he turned away, glancing at the pretty blonde next to him, the colors fading into the lush purple of her aura.

No doubt they had all felt it and wanted more. Like any drug that brought a heady rush, it was easy to desire it again but no doubt it had a price. That price was their blood and loyalty. Darek rubbed a hand over his mouth, still unsure of the group but what did he really have to lose? Besides, he was a sucker for a lost cause. With a sardonic grin, he raised his hand, “Alright, I’ll bite. We know there are no guarantees, that goes without saying. What does this X want us to do first?”

I'll have a reply as soon as I figure out what to write.

We need some elevator music.

Yeah it's kind of come to a standstill.

Looks good. Now...if we could just get the town folk to move along.

I don't think you really need to as your character is at the site. But of course it's up to you. We have people in town that need to get in with the posse so we can meet up with yours and Phoenix.

Poke.

I think we need one or two more to post before we can roll out.

Mine is about 3 paragraphs but it's there.

NO LONGER ACTIVE : Tides of Sedition

Darek listened quietly to the proposition and to the vampires that voiced their concerns. He agreed it did seem fishy and truth be told it was not his Baron whom he hated, it was his sire. Still, the barons as a whole had such a stranglehold on the scene in Charleston it was impossible to do anything without permission. No one would be able to move up as the hierarchy was based on age and so death was the only way around that fact. Clearly they were going to be used to foment unrest and disrupt the balance of power.

He had assumed that some sort of rebellion was in the works with the promise of advancement and the tight secrecy. The idea appealed to him or he would not be here. In his former life he had fought oppressive governments of both the invading Nazis and Soviets in his native Poland. It was dangerous then as it was now. It could take a lot of time and effort and they would suffer losses. The decision for him to make was if it worth it?

Darek glanced at the clawed vampire, despite his appearance and rough attitude he cut right to the heart of the matter. Obviously it was someone with much to gain from the overthrow but that did not narrow down the list very much. Rubbing the bridge of his nose he listened to the others speak up, a rude man and a mousy young woman. It was the pudgy vampire that rambled on and on that made Darek consider leaving. A man that liked to talk that much was dangerous.

Curiosity though kept him in his chair. There was not much to add to their questions right now so he kept his mouth closed and waited.

I'll give it another day or so. It really wont matter if some people don't post. We shall pretend their character had nothing to add and move on. They can post next round.

@Noxious

I'm actually feeling this way. Sitting here trying to write but not really knowing what he would add to what's been said and asked.
