Prudence Law [Cat_Smiley]

Boden and Vivienne watched in slight shock as Jack put away several full tumblers of whiskey, exchanging a quick glance.

"Right...well, it's swell seeing you're tending the bar again Boden." Vivienne paused a moment, turning to face Jack. "I see no reason for me to babysit, I trust you'll find your way back to the foyer when you wish to do so." She lifted a hand to Boden, he took it, kissing the back of her hand.

"I will see you around dearest." He chimed before returning to his tally, crossing something out and glancing under furrowed brow to Jack.

Cornelius sat himself in the large leather armchair behind the main desk and motioned for the dark skinned beauty to follow suite in a nearby chair. He leaned back, the leather creaking under his weight, crossing a leg over the other and folded his hands in his lap.

"Do you hold reverence to Momma Lion, or may I call you Miss Lion?" Cornelius' face was void of emotion, but his voice was warm, welcoming. "It is Miss, correct?" He asked of the proper title to her marital status, not knowing much of her beyond the rumors of her supposed supernatural remedies and concoctions.

"Why don't you show me to the bar. I could do with a drink." Jack essentially demanded with a deadpan stare. Vivienne forced a smile.

'So charming...' She heard Lerick hiss in her head and she shot him a dirty look.

"Of course." Vivienne chimed, turning on her heel, expecting him to follow.

Well placed candles and eloquent chandeliers lighted the way down the narrow corridors, illuminating the pale brick walls. Stepping outside to the courtyard she walked them down the vestibule, currently with the drapes down to block outside light, until they reached a set of doors leading into a decently sized room with an arched stone roof. High metal circular rungs held candles that reflected the light off the stone that partially illuminated the room while candles on tables supplemented the soft lighting below.

Vivienne approached the bar, an older gentleman standing behind the counter taking inventory of various liquor bottles against the wall. She cleared her throat softly to announce their presence, the patrons already served, seated and chattering softly among themselves. The barkeep turned and smiled as his eyes fell upon her.

"Ma très chère Vivienne!" The man exclaimed, reaching over the counter to grab her palms in her fingers. He pressed his cheek to hers, kissing the air, and repeated on the other side.

"Bonjour Boden." Vivienne grinned, giving his hands a light squeeze. "Our guest requested to have a drink, he is childe to Mama Lion, Elder of Barbados. The Smiling Man, Jack."

Boden quickly tensed, to which she noticed, but said nothing. "Pleasure to meet you Jack, what's your poison?"

Lerick's eyes did not waiver as the vampire stared him down before returning to his Sire. Cornelius grumbled, shaking his head then addressed Mama Lion.

"Let us speak privately, in my study. Jack, feel free to make yourself at home, if you need anything merely make a request." Cornelius noticed the uneasy look in both of their eyes. "Surely you wouldn't have made such a long trip if you did not trust you were in good company. I assure you no harm will come to you here." He looked solemnly to Lerick who glanced to Vivienne.

'It's not me they should worry about.' Lerick mused to his sister.

'You would do well to let that remain a mystery.' Vivienne chimed, smiling softly. She looked to the vampire referred to as the Smiling Man. He looked irritated, perhaps from the long trip. She knew this gypsy woman was important to Cornelius, by default, her companion was as well. If they wanted any help from this woman, they would need to make sure both of them felt welcome.

"Jack, allow me to show you the manor." Vivienne's voice breaking the silence, giving a quick smile.

Prudence Law [Cat_Smiley]

Lerick had been tailing the carriage since the two vampires had hopped aboard. Cornelius already briefed him before he left town on the details of their new guests, right down to wild glint in the woman's eye. It seemed that they were arriving early, no doubt the voodoo woman had her own agenda, and didn't seem the type to adhere to other's schedules. He followed along at a safe distance, hoping to catch bits of conversation. Cornelius had not explained in full disclosure the reason for bringing the Elder and her childe to the manor, only that it was of utmost importance. Unfortunately both vampires were silent during their ride.

When the carriage reached the edge of the woods, it stopped and they descended at a leisurely pace down the small one lane track through the forest. This was when Lerick left the watching to the Shadows nearby, and took on quick foot to the manor.

Lerick, once at the manor, promptly headed to Cornelius' study, rapping on the door lightly.

"Enter." A gruff voice called from behind the thick oak doors. Lerick obliged.

He shut the door behind him and stood tall, hands folded neatly behind him. Cornelius was at his desk, eyes scanning the pages of a worn leather book. After a moment he snapped it shut, and placed it among others on his desk. He motioned in the air for Lerick to speak.

"Sir, the guests will be here in less than ten. They came by carriage, accompanied by a human driver until they reached the property. I did not witness their arrival to the Prudence. The woman brought her fledgling as you thought."

Cornelius nodded slowly then stood. He walked toward the back of the room where the wall was nothing but glass, revealing the lush green forest of Prudence. Fog circled the trunks, and the sky was starting to lighten. He grabbed an oil lantern from the hook near the wall and lit it before drawing the curtains closed. He then stood beside the desk, lantern in hand.

"Let us greet them, shall we?"

_{------------------------------------}

Vivienne had heard the knock echo throughout the foyer as she stood in a nearby room chatting with another coven member, pondering at who might be at their door unexpected. She gave a quick dismissing nod to Iris before she pattered down the hall and opened the tall sturdy doors. Before her stood a male and female vampire, both with highly distinguishable features. The male's eyes looked to her beneath full sturdy brows, a rather posh looking mustache twitching with either impatience or agitation. The dark skinned woman stood with a posture demanding respect, her gaze unwavering. Before Vivienne could speak, Lerick and Cornelius were approaching down the hall, and she stood aside for her Elder.

Cornelius glanced from the female to the male briefly before taking a half step backward and motioning them inside.

"Welcome Mama Lion, and guest."

Vivienne was standing across from Lerick, at Cornerlius's side, and he was looking at her with furrowed brows.

'She may be reputable, but her fledgling is not. I believe him to be a con artist, or at the very least a privateer, as if there is a difference.' Lerick mused silently.

'Cornelius does not to business with criminals, brother, you would be wise to hold your tongue.' Vivienne warned

'How would you know who he does business with, you're not even on the council. All I'm-'

'Hush!' She hissed silently, her words bellowing in his mind. Lerick breathed forcibly through his nose and watched as the guests entered. Cornelius glanced to Lerick, his eyes questioning.

Prudence Law [Cat_Smiley]

Rosewood Manor was a proud, Victorian mansion nestled among the redwood forests, offset from the shores of Prudence Bay. Over time, thick bundles of vine crept up the mossy stone, covering most of its walls with lush green foliage. One might judge from outward appearance that it was merely a husk of what it once was, abandoned to let nature claim its elements. While in truth, it housed Cornelius Moreau, an Elder amongst his kind, a small council of representatives, his disciples and coven members. Among these members, was a youthful vampire by the name of Vivienne Latreal. She came as a stranger and was welcomed as a daughter.

Vivienne stood at the tall window of her resting quarters, her gaze level with the tops of the redwoods, eyes seemingly unfocused Brother… She called out silently, The meeting has finished and Nathaniel wishes to speak to you.

For a moment there was silence before his words reverberated in her mind, ‘Yes dear sister, I shall return before the sun rises.’

Vivienne huffed softly, loathing that she was often a messenger for Lerick’s diplomatic affairs. After her death she cared little anymore about politics, or the laws that governed their lands. Often she would ignore quarantine, escaping from the walls of the manor to feel her feet on the sodden earth of the forest or the sandy beaches of New Orleans. She enjoyed watching the patrons of the city sit by campfires on the beach, playing their instruments or dancing. She envied them, how they were so unaware of the war waging in the dark.

Vivienne smoothed the fabric of her porcelain white muslin dress, adjusting as necessary and lifted it slightly as she made her way down the spiral steps of the western corridor and then again down the stairs in the main foyer. Nathaniel was standing at the bottom, speaking with a visitor. His eyes caught hers and she saw him mouth some words to the stranger before the man took his leave.

Nathaniel turned his body to her as she approached and extended his hand. “You should be careful mon ami, walking the steps in such proper dress.” He smirked. Vivienne lifted the hem of her dress to reveal bare feet and his smirk turned to a frown. “Silly little girl.” He laughed, letting his hand fall to his side.

“I am neither silly nor little, Nathan.” She huffed, staring daggers into his eyes.

“Of course not,” He mused softly, placing his hand at her waist as he walked her the last few steps before pulling her close. “However, what kind of gentleman would I be if I did not escort such a beautiful woman should she choose to walk near me?” He brushed his thumb against her cheek, corner of his mouth curling.

Vivienne smiled, grabbed his wrist gently and stepped backward. “I spoke with Lerick, he says he is to return before sunrise. I assume no earlier, knowing him.”

Nathaniel’s lips pursed into a dissatisfied grimace. “Could you tell him-“

“No, I am not your messenger girl.” She snapped.

Vivienne pulled a note from her person and handed it to Nathaniel. “Cornelius says you and Lerick are to meet him in the city to discuss the situation. Should he and his Sire accept to aide us they are to be brought here by starlight. Shadows* will be nearby the entire trip.”Nathaniel nodded, tucking the note in the pocket on his chest. He stood silent for a moment before cocking his head slightly. “Where are you off to?” He asked while crossing his arms and looking to her feet.

“No where, of course. Just taking a stroll around the Manor.” Vivienne replied quaintly, smiling ever so sweet.

“Right.” He smirked. “Well, should you change your mind. It seems I won’t be leaving until after next sunset. I would be delighted to have your company.”

“I have other arraignments, perhaps Annalise or Raquel or…any other woman here, might be willing to assist you?” She sneered, still smiling, and took to walking toward the main hall.

Is the mall locked/boarded up? The doors I mean.

Wrath of Nature

Danica adjusted her hood some, the rain pattering gently against her head. Luz sat ever diligently beside her, tongue hanging from his snout, panting happily. Despite not having ate for days he was still as happy-go-lucky as ever. Luz was really the only reason she even hung on to life at this point. After the death of her husband she struggled to find a reason to go on. The world was so desolate now, full of raiders, and resources were few and far between.

She could see a city scape in the distance, maybe less than a mile away from her location.

Most of the time it was just radio static. But the pocket radio she carried proved useless as of the other day when she could have sworn she heard bits and pieces of some type of feed. From what she could make of it the person mentioned a mall in a nearby city that was a possible settlement. It was a long shot, but she had traveled three days towards the town. Seeing it now on the horizon was bittersweet. How long it had it been since she had any real human contact she was unsure, but the possibility of a real meal was too tempting to pass up. Her eyes looked down to Luz, brow furrowing. Since Matthew's death Luz wouldn't let anyone near him, or Danica. It was like he knew that they were in survival mode. She could only be thankful of Matthew's service that he acquired Luz.

Danica patted her thigh, as she often did, checking that her knife was still in it's holster. She whistled and Luz stood, ear's perked.

"Let's find some grub boy." She said as she reached down, scratched his neck then playing pushed his snout down. Luz snipped lovingly at her and then followed behind her as she headed toward the city.
