Thi is the world you have arrivedd in pursued by heroes developing an irrational hunger for human terror you have awakened to this terrifying, but neccessary world.  Around you are the masses the people who need guidance, as sheep need their shepherd, else they will all go on their way to self destruction... yet their is only one way to teach them, through terror of destruction.

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 1):

John leaned out looking over the campus his eyes searching, looking for anything.  The succulent hope that someone out there in the dark of the night was doing something that he could punish.  Better yet maybe someone was doing something violent then he could really come down on them break them and pummel them, let them know that they were always at risk of being caught.  How funny it is when sheep think they are wolves.  He loved the view from up here, the room of the business school had such a pleasant vista to search for prey.  Though if this didn't work he might have to relocate into the city, maybe try one of the rougher areas.

after a bit he hears a cry in the distance if he follows it... he'll find a college boy, looking frail and a bit like a nerd being held up by a masked hoodlum with a revolver, to be fair the boy probaly DOES need a lesson of his own as this is a dangerous neighbourhood.

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 3):

The beast smiles.  Ahh yes, a meal has come his way, his favorite kind, the violent type.  Launching himself off the building he glides though the air as if he has wings to carry him as he seeks his prey waiting till he is just in position to drop in swooping out ready to deliver a kick to the gun carrying man's back as he plummets in from 20 feet above him.

((Holding off on attack roll till I know how you handle them.

As his foot connects with the man's back he smiles.  "Attacking someone so much smaller than you, how pathetic."  He gets ready for retaliation being alert to the position and location of the gun.  That was the thing to watch out for.   "Looks Karma decided to punish you."

John locks eyes with the mugger and with a sly smile he says a short phrase.  "Karma's a bitch."  To this mugger the world becomes one of flames and screams of pain as the man before him burns, everything around him burns, his flesh appears to burn.  The world is on fire the likes that would have fit in with Dante's Inferno.  The hellish screams and calls of pain echo around him.

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 12):

"I am that sad lesson for you, that your crimes are seen."  He says with a harsh tone.  "And eventually you will be punished."  His voice flares to a rage as he burns.  If there wasn't a witness still hanging around he would have burned him where he stands with dragon fire but that wasn't an option.  He had to be subtle, another round of nightmares should do the trick, it will mean burning off some of the food he already had, but he was about to get so much more.

"No don't be silly."  He says with a smile, "no god light or dark sent me to punish you, your crime called me to punish you."    Now that the witness was gone he could be a lot fancier and enjoy this.  "You see that boy out there is going to tell everyone else what happens so your lesson will spread around isn't that nice.  To bad you'll be practicing it in the after life."  He takes a deep breath in letting his lungs expend as fire fills them.  With a grin John exhales a gout of flame long and hot burning like the heat of napalm.

"Ah delicious, well seasoned and dredged in just the right amount of pain."  He says stretching a bit.  "Sadly not very filling, that was the real shame."  He looks around the alley and decides to head back to campus now.  Now that the beast got it's hunt he needed to find the one who killed his Jamie.  Natural causes my ass.  He thought to himself.  It was that black shadow thing that did it.  If only I had woken up sooner I could have saved her.  Jamie...  he holds his arm in pain and rage.  As if trying to staunch bleeding.  Her loss was a great open wound both his selves felt.

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 22):

In the back of his mind he practically complains to the Drake King.  < Come on, we need to find Jamie's killer not spend all this time feeding you.  Besides you give me more power when your a little hungry.  I need you lean and mean...Okay Okay I get you, your not going to let me focus when your on an empty stomach are you.  We are boing to focus more and spend more time pursuing the next one, really earn it.>

He says walking around this area, trying to not look like a white, rich kid, in the hood which was exactly what he was.  But maybe if he acted like he belonged here, walked like he belonged here, and owned every inch around him he wouldn't have to worry about catching a bullet.  Or at least that was the self he was trying to project to try and catch his next meal.  Sometimes throwing out some chum on the water was a good idea.

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 24):

((It's how he carries himself.  It's a ploy to try and lure in someone to try to mug him who will be more cautious and make the beast work for it more, so that the meal is more satisfying.  You'll have to excuse me I read a bit of Dresden Files books, and that is one thing I learned the more you try to fit in the more you stand out, the best thing to do is to own your space and look like you belong not try to look like you belong by changing clothes to something unfamiliar.))

Well sure enough  some punk kid trys coming at him with a knife after a bit... "Your in the wrong neighbourhood, pretty boy" He sneers...

"You'll have to catch me first punk!"  He take a moment to lead the knife user on a bit of a chase leading him to a place which matches in some way a connection to his lair, either somewhere with Trees, or somewhere there is a lot of rust, or better yet both.  If he could lead the kid into his Lair he didn't have to worry about the bodies piling up.

As the punk follows him he begin to open the pathway so that with a step they will end up in his Lair, where he can cut loose.  He focuses his mind on the connections of the uneven ground and tripping hazards, and the corrosion all around and using them to connect to the blighted forrest of his nightmare world.  Trying to rip open a doorway there, the universe crackles and the doorway opens drawing both of them into his lair.

The world the knife carrying punk knew vanished as buildings became burn and scared husks of trees the ground seethed and caustic blighted ash filled the air.  Ahead of him the man he was chasing would vanish replaced by something on 4 legs, the size of a grizzly bear white scaled it turns to face him blighted fire hanging about it's vicious toothed maw.  "Abandon all Hope ye who entered here."

Stepping back into the real world leaving the boy to dissolve in the dragon blight of his Lair john pats his stomach.  Now that was a feeding.  So much better that time.  He smiles and looks at the sky.  He would head back to campus now, and start looking for clues as to who and what it was that killed Jamie.  When he caught them, there would be hell to pay, and they will burn.

well his investigation is largely fruitless ... (OOC: does he go more on the forensics side, or the research side of things)

"Strix?  Interesting, I guess that does match what I saw."  He thinks about it and begins to wonder how he would go about fighting a shadow.  Sadly that was all the information he had.  There was nothing available on how or what they ate, or if they had a weakness or what they were truly made of were they as solid or smoke?

Seems the more questions one gets answered the more has to answer.  So what to do next, how does one follow the trail of a shadow let alone find them?  Where could he find people who would know about the Strix who would believe him, or not think him insane.  Hell who knew about them period?  He guessed he'd start with the history department, see if he could find a professor open to talk.  See if the myth featured in history maybe that would shed some answers.

((I'm assuming any more useful information is held by the Kindred with a paranoid level of security.))

The investigation sadly dead ends pretty much you'll have to find some devoted occult scholars most likely... which could be difficult and a potential give away

Well in the next week or so you feel a disturbing sensation that SOMEONE is tailing you but you know not who or how...

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 40):


John continues about his actions trying to behave exactly like any other person, though he still asks a few questions trying to delve deeper into the mystery of the Stryx.  Looking for any kind of on campus Paranormal research group,  They would likely have access to the specialized information he was seeking if he could find people really invested in the Paranormal not just Ghost Hunter knock offs.  If the person following him was involved in this mystery or worse covering it up they may just reveal themselves telling him to back off or make a move he could use to his advantage but he needed to be sure that he as a hunter was not caught in their web.

After a bit he gets held up one night by a man who jumps him with a knife... "You have been researching the Strix, mortal tell me WHY you look into this issue, it does not involve you" says threateningly, yet even through his hostile demeanour you sense a vague... Kinship with him...

((What does my Family sense tell me?   Just a reminder it's pretty broad and can't tell a strix from a Vampire, and my first encounter was a Strix.))

"Mortal?  Cute you think I'm human, your also rude enough to tell the Drake King of the Sky what his buisness is."  He says coldly.  "And you do it while there are not witnesses. "  He smiles as a curl of fire licks about his face and curls of smoke comes from his nose as his anger builds.

((holding here till I know what my sense tells me.))

(You can sense something about this being a terrible thirst in it, a drooling for life itself... smelling much like the bird from before, yet his attitude is different somehow. he blinks showing some degree of humanity at least "THe king of the sky what?"

"The dragon king of the sky, and don't presume to tell me what's my business or not, little owl . " He growls firing a warning shot of flame just close enough for him to feel uncomfortable. "I figured one of you Strix wold come after me if I kept making my investigation noisy."  He grins.  "So, tell me what I want to know little owl and I'll spare you."  He looks ready to shoot flames out his mouth for real.  "How many of you are there that hunt around this campus?"

He blinks in, as far as you can tell "I am no strix, I am a vampire" He says "Often times many divinations confuse us and the strix I would have you know"

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 46):

"So are you saying there is a lot more collateral to damage to get to my target, or less?"  His voice carries a thick tone like someone who steps outside of there care and finds there new shoe planted firmly in the middle of a fresh pile of horse crap.  "Because I'd love to know why vampires care two shits about people digging into Strix if they aren't allies."  Smoke curls from his mouth in a thick bellow as his anger Smulders reminding the vampire that this is very much a fire breathing dragon.

"Some have sought to summon or command the strix, almost always to their detriment, for the owls are clever and sinister... others have sought to make deals with them even pledging themselves to them, And we try to suppress this when we can Vampires hate the strix"

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 48):

"Oh is that so."  He says seeming to calm down though still smoke curls up from his mouth and nose as a reminder the fire is still going and ready when he wants it.  "So that you hate them as much as I do?"  He starts to relax and smile  "That was information I could have used sooner."  He looks at the vampire.  "What else can you tell me, or do I need to be vetted before you'll let me join you in the hunt for them?"  He says it with the heir of a king asking when everyone will be ready for the boar hunt.

he pauses "Yes you'll need to be vetted, as you so delicately put it... were not in a perpetual hunt for them mind you, some vampires think their a myth... not me, " he shakes his head

"Their tied to us in SOME Way we do not know how or why, what we DO KNOW" He says gravely

"Is theirs a number of verified cases where they created new vampires I do not know why, or how but it speaks of some connection That we do not truly understand"

(OOC: Want to roll social maneuvering?)

"I see, that is interesting information."  He says calmly.  "But I happen to be hunting one for the crime of killing my Beloved not that long ago."  He looks at the vampire calmly and rationally trying to get into the inside of this thing.  "So what do I have to do to get in?"

((10:00, Today: John Mordred rolled 5 successes using 6d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 9,6,9,3,10(+10,9),2.  Social Maneuvering.))

"So I see your a secretive lot, I don't suppose there is a way to accelerate the process?  Or to prove myself an alley in the fight against the Strix and not an enemy?"  he points out.  "After all the old saying is the Enemy of my Enemy is my friend."

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 54):

"Perfectly understandable."  He says with a polite smile offering a hand to shake.  "Perhaps we will meet again."  He pauses then, even if he doesn't get a handshake (but with more of a dramatic flurish if he does) he reaches into his coat and a metal case is withdrawn about the size of his palm it's thumbed open and a small retangle of card stock removed and handed over.  "I normally go by John Mordred."  He says by way of introduction giving his business card over.  The card lists him as:
John Mordred
HR Management Student

he nods checking over it... a few more days pass, things are going smoothly enough, until...

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 56):

((Best way to diffuse a surprise would be to use the information on the card and simply call ahead.  ))

well the surprise is very much a surprise then,


A bullet sails through the air, catching him in the arm pretty sharp shot, thankfully the bullet has little force behind it.

A stereotypical fratboy jumps in "You think no one spotted you? Well luckily men like me are here to fight back the terrors of the night." He says puffing his chest.

"You stupid drunken shit."  He says looking at the punk trying to hide the injury and it's pain.  He strides forward locking eyes with the kid.  "Your going to see the truth now."
((Unleashing Nightmare Behold my True Form.... and I'm burning a Satiety, and Willpower.  I can't afford to look weak in front of the Vampire  This gives the attack a weapon value of +2 and 8's again))

He winces under the onslaught...  "You think I'll retreat so casually!? ?" He sneers with a tone of deep convictioin.

"Im not so easily terrified as that, you will no longer be in a position to terrify our campus, if I get expelled for it, thats a sacrafice Im willing to make"

((Dragon breath at him.  Honestly I don't want to kill him but he's waving around that gun which makes him a danger to everyone around him.  Better to put him in some pain, and let him know I'm not the monster he's looking for.  He doesn't need to die and it wouldn't accomplish much if he did die, then again it would protect the lives of everyone around here if he did.

He grimaces in pain, "Another time Monster!" And limps away... defeated but uncowed...

He heads back to his apartment, making sure to double back, and switch trails, and take a few false stops a few times just to make sure that he loses any followers, he doesn't want to be caught off guard or worse yet caught without knowing if he is being tailed.  If he is being tailed he will avoid making any sort of motion toward his home but rather head to a hotel that is likely to offer basic security something brand name, reasonably run, and with a good reputation.

He manages to find a best western Pluss more then willing to take him in.

He takes his rest in the room at the Best Western, best to not tip off anything.  He remains calm and collected though the night, resting sure he threw off his tail but not so sure of it that he dared to go home just yet.  He let's himself enter the darkness of slumber for now so that he can collect his strength and prepare to fight back, and prepare for the horrors that the new day and night will bring.

well the new day comes and he is well rested the hotel is quite relaxing...

Waking refreshed from his long night John gets ready for the new day and figureing he gave any tail the slip heads home, and swaps out his clothes for new ones and attends classes, gets a start on homework, and waits to be contacted by this new set of players on the board.  He isn't going to rush in to things right now.  But now that he knows they exist keeping an eye out for them is something he does.  Catching a nap in the early evening hours he is rested and ready to go back out into the night to see what he can see of this other group that doesn't tolerate the shadow things he saw.

First step, see if he can figure out how many are around here without tipping them off he is looking.

It takes a week before he encounters one in a tavern a Male flirting with a depressed woman...Seeming to try to lure here somewhere private...

John does not make his presence known and makes sure not to act in a hostile manner.  He doesn't want to spoke the vampire just get to know them a bit better.  He keeps an eye on him watching but makes sure to keep hostile thoughts to a minimum this was an exploration not a combat mission.

(Still here just got distracted)

he takes her into an alleyway, and then begins feeding on her from the neck shes gasping out moaning...

In reply to The Uncaring Night (msg # 70):

This was a part of nature, he would not interfere with this, he stands back, waits for for the vampire to finish.  This human was learning a lesson about the dangers of the world.  If she died her lesson would be learned by other, if she lived so be it.  That didn't matter to him, but this was a good opportunity to expand his lair as well.  Every moment this went on, ever little bit of seasoning that the vampire gave of fear built the potential chamber up, and he could claim it, expanding his home, and giving him a handy shortcut to this location if he needed it.

He watches the vampire feed, studying it, studying the human learning what he could so that when this was over he could claim a prize for his patience.

He can feel the sheer Terror in the woman as shes fed on till she collapses unconcious but it seems her lesson may only be learned so well as hes muddled her memorys... shes standing confused when he walks away.

((And Family Dinner!  Sadly no lair chamber as I don't think she lost any integrity over this.))

John smiles feeling the belly of the beast fill with the meal as the vampire feeds from the woman.  He does nothing to stop her as she wanders off as if drunk.  That isn't his concern.  He looks over at the one who did the feeding.  He just looms there though he doesn't make an aggressive movement but rather holds his ground like one predator when encountering another as a sign of respect to himself and them.  "Evening."  He finally says as a greeting, deciding to be friendly enough about it.  "Thank you, for providing the meal."

He blinks "Meal?" in confusion not understanding.
