Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Anton and Thomas head straight across the pedestrian bridge without looking back or around.  They don't even speak unitl they reach the edge of the Field's property.  "Seriously dude, why the fuck are we doing here.  Lets just strike out on our own."

Thomas glares at Anton and moves impossibly fast pnning Anton against the gates of the field.  "We have a job to do.  I will not disappoint Katherine and neither will you.  Try to get out of this and I will feed you your own intestines.  We clear?"  Sneering at his friend it was clear that his beast was just barely in check.  Anton shakes his head and mumbles something about "being with ya.

Thomas lets him go and hops over the fence without another word.  Anton looks around as if considering abandoning his friend but chooses to follow suit in the end and hops the fence himself.  Crossing the ground quickly they reach the outside doors and pull one of them open.  Sliding inside they disappear into the darkness without a glance over their shoulders.

Isah looks around quickly to make a mental note of his surroundings before using raw strength to just leap clear over the fence and land on the other side.

He then starts to head for the door that the 2 of them slipped into.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Just past the fenceline, partially obscured beneath some bushes is a security guard's body.  The smell of blood in the airr speaks of wasted drink and even from here Isah can see the two bullet holes in the man's skull, probably small caliber rounds at close range but hard to say for certain from here.  Over near the door another lies slumped against the wall with red streaks running from about six feet off the ground down to where the body rests now.

Atop the scoreboard Isah notices a dark shadow lying prone with a long rifle extending out in front of him.  He is only visible for a moment before the cloud cover blocks him out again.   Its then that various sounds, though muffled can be heard.  By the sounds of it people skilled in stealth moving throughout the interior of the stadium itself.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Isah halts no longer following the duo but listening for the sounds coming from the stadium arena. He stands perfectly still until he can find a fitting place that provides adequate cover to naturally hide him in addition to singing his powers of stealth. While giving him line of sight to the carnage he believes is about to ensue between the people here and these 2 men.

Once he has found this area he moves at mind jarring speed while under obfuscate to it's location OOC: Burning the blood for Celerity

Isah keeps his eyes and ears open to any possible threats to himself ready to counter as may be appropriate throughout what may transpire.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

From his chosen vantage point Isah can see a crude crucifix at midfield.  It seems to have a man attached to it.  He isn't moving and his head is slumped forward.  Thomas and Anton laugh a bit at the sight and quickly hop onto the field and close the distance between the sideline and the center of the field.  About midway there a loud ear shattering boom erupts and a flash a light explodes from atop the scoreboard.  At the same time Anton's head explodes and his body flies sideways landing in a crumpled heap some four feet from where it used to be.

Thomas turns in horror and pauses for a split second before moving with supernatural speed in an effort to get off the field.  He doesn't make it far.  Crumpling to the ground he pounds his fist downwards and screams as blood errupts from his eyeballs.  Shortly thereafter foam pours from his mouth and he begins to twitch violently.  As he does three men in black clothing emerge from the shadows.  Each wears what appears to be a triangular night vision device that glows with a purple, almost blacklight glow.  Two of them hold FS2000 rifles with silencers attached.  The third cradles a rifle that almost looks like a tranquilizer gun.  Motioning with a circle of his right index finger and holding up 3 digits he taps his wrist and holds an open hand upwards as an ambulance drives onto the field towards Anton's body.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

At the sight of the devices Isah knows his obfuscate does not work on cameras and does not know exactly what kind of optics these may be. Also he has already seen speed does not seem to help in this situation. He decides to hunker down in his position deciding to use the natural cover in lieu of obfuscate. If he can't see them because a physical object is in the way then they can't see him either he postures. He will wait until he no longer hears any more movement on the or in the stadium to book out back to the hookah bar.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

The ambulance stops in front of the crucifix and the crew that emerges quickly moves first to Anton and drives a stake through his chest then binds his hands and feet.  They then move on to Thomas and perform similar procedures.  After the two of them are loaded up they set the crucified man on fire with what looks like some sort of incendiary device that burns almost white hot.  They then load up as the sniper on the scoreboard slides down a zipline and lands atop the ambulance with almost preternatural grace.  The ambulancce then quicckly leaves the field as sirens of police vehicles sound in the distance.

Soon the field is quiet and as the moments tick by it seems to be empty save for the burning man at center field.  After about three minutes police vehicles scream into the parking lot and the officers begin scouring the perimeter.  Their slow methodical approach gives Isah plenty of time to slip by and leave the field without any notice at all.  Atop the pedestrian bridge Isah can see the news crews arriving....

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

While walking back to his club Isah thinks back to himself "Well seems like all 3 of their nights didn't go according to their plans. However it WAS interesting to watch. Now to figure out more on these organizations." Isah goes into the back door of his club and into the stock room area so he can view the monitor that has the feeds from the cameras within the club.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

The crowd is lighter now as most have moved on to the bars and clubs and heavy drinking.  A few laid back individuals still mill about but most are just enjoying the night or relaxing and unwinding.  Right now eight people mill about the place, a group of four middle aged women, two middle eastern guys, and a small group of business men and women hanging out and wishing a colleague farewell in some sort of going away party.

A review of the cameras for the short time he was gone doesn't show much either.  Aram and his friend left in a black mustang shortly before Thomas and Anton left.  The night is still young though adn anything could happen...

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Knowing that things are going comfortably at his establishment for the time being and not wanting to bring this kind of attention to his place of business. Isah decides it is time to go feed. Feeling the need for a top off after using his vitae in his establishment then again at the stadium. He does not want to give the beast any edge over him nor be at any disadvantage should an altercation occur.

Isah leaves the Hookah bar in search for a more crowded bar or club. Trying to stay away from local type establishments prefering more "Chain" style bars like you would find in "Chain" type restaurants or "Chain" style clubs. This in an effort to not step on any other toes so to speak and hopefully stay off any other kindred's radar.

With this in mind he is looking for the well inebriated person (gender who cares really at this point he is on the hunt) that is alone to approach. He will observe the before approaching so he can get a feel of how to approach them before doing so. He is not looking for someone who is alone because they don't want anyone around but just someone who is alone or better yet just lonely.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Second avenue has a wealth of bars, most are overcrowded and extremely loud, due to the live music.  The two easiest to gain entry to are Rippys, a sports type bar next door to teh Bridgestone Arena wherre the Nashville Predators play, and The Second Fiddle bar.  The Second Fiddle iis already cclaimed turf but as long as respects are paid and only what is needed is taken Hasiin, the owner, does not mind kindred feeding there.  Otherwise there are numerous other clubs that can be used for feeding including the ever popular Red Door Saloon off of Broadway.  Though a little bit of a cab ride it was always filled with drunken students from Vanderbilt University.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

As Isah has stayed under the radar since his change and arrival in the city he elects to not go in the already claimed establishment. Electing to go into Rippy's he focuses the power of his blood to once again mimic the signs of lifeburning a blood for skin to be warm to the touch as it is already not pale, also for heartbeat. I am also focusing on breathing and blinking as to look natural

He looks for the woman that seems to have already have had to much to drink and is looking for someone to take home or to be taken home by. Bypassing any who might already have possible suitors as he does not really care to draw the undue attention that a bar brawl with a bunch of mortals would cause.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

It does not take Isah long to find a suitable meal.  Three women sit at a corner table watching the band play, though a bit older than the normal college types that frequented the bars down here they were nonetheless attractive.  Its not long before one goes to the bar to order drinks and gets caught up in a conversation with a young college male.  A brunette heads to the bathroom while the last, a blond sits be herself glancing around looking for some attention.   She makes eye contact with Isah but then looks away with a sly smile.

Meanwhile the band launches into a rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"  The crowd hoots and hollars and soon are singing along with the band...

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Continuing his ruse of mortality Isah cockily and directly approaches the woman. When he gets to her table without any sarcasm and in a calm direct voice that would express that he is someone who knows exactly what he wants says "Lets dance"

Smiling broadly she nods her head and extends her hand.  Letting Isah guide her she dances and close and wraps her arms around his neck and smiles as she looks into his eyes before stepping back and turning away from him.  Swaying her hips with the music he glancces back over her shoulder and tosses her hair to a side before looking towards the door and curling her finger as if to say "follow me".  SHe gives the thumbs up to her friend at the bar who hoots and cheers her on.

Isah thinking this would take a bit more convincing thinks on the offer returning the same witty smile. He then begins to head toward her presumably heading toward the door.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Something strikes Isah as amiss though its hard to place.  There was the issue with it being too easy but that wasn't it, no, there was something else.  It was right there but difficult to place.

The woman walked towards the door with a smile on her face and a casual glance over her shoulder.  She tosses her hair to the side and pauses at the door.  Leaning against the doorframe the night's breeze blows a few strands of hair across her face.  As it does she reaches out to pull Isah close. When she speaks her voice is melodic and her thick New York accent is easy to pick out.   "I couldn't talk to you in there.  I'm Amy and I guess you can tell that I'm not from here.  Tell me, are you down for some fun tonight stranger?"

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

While the woman is speaking Isah is looking at her body seeming to be having eye sex with her. He is looking for any signs of what could be disease or needle marks that could lead to possible disease.

Isah still keeping his flirtatious smile and calm demeanor
Although something is just not sitting right to him senarious begin flashing through his mind. He begins to scrutinize the woman for any signs of her being off in any way from being mortal. As he impersonates them all to often he knows the one aspect that cannot be recreated is the scent that the human body gives off in the form of the oils secreted from the flesh through the process of sweating and and growing and shedding of dead skin.

Isah leans in closely next to her ear"What did you have in mind for the evening."while doing this he takes a deep breath seeming to smell the woman and her perfume but actually checking for this and if possible trying to smell her blood from within to see if it carries anything unwanted to him.

Although her attire is probably club appropriate he still does the usual weapons check "a visual look" is her hand bag small or oversized?

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

She gave off every indicator of being human and the devilish smirk on her face seemed to indicate more intimate times were ahead but something was just a tad off about the woman.  No weapons, unusual items on the clothing, etc.  Whatever was eating at Isah's mind remained just out of focus.

Stepping close she runs her finger along his cheek and bites her top lip.  "Play your cards right and this could be the best night of your life lover."

Leaning closer she lightly plants a kiss on his cheek and grabs his hand trying to pull him towards the parking lot on the other side of the street.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Isah relents and when she takes his hand and pulls him he gives no hesitation in coming with her. He gives a smile once they begin walking he looks toward the area she is pulling him.

Still feeling something was off he was trying to keep his senses keen to his surroundings but this "off" feeling kept distracting him as his mind kept wandering as to what this feeling was.

"So where are we going, are you staying near here?"

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

"Indeed I am...I'm staying at a friend's condo over at The Gulch.  My car's over there, why not grab it and then...well we'll see.."

That devilish smirk persists and as she turns away to point at the car it's hard to miss the perfection of her profile, the even proportions, almost text book spacing of her facial features and the flawless line of her cheekbones.  Even her smirk was on perfectly formed lips and not the kind mortal surgeons could create, no it was clear that she was either genetically flawless or, more likely she knew a fleshcrafter.

Looking back over her shoulder she giggles and nods towards the grey Grand Caravan (Dodge minivan) parked in the lot.  "All the rental agency had was a mom mobile.  Hopefully its not too big a turnoff?"

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

Isah using his skillssecurity or investigationlooks at the van when she makes the comment. While looking he assess the van to see if it looks like the typical "type" of something a vampire could hide from the sun in, are the windows blacked out? Does it seem to have curtains that can be drawn over the windows from tye inside? While he is taking this quick glance he also tries to see if he can see any occupants in the van.

Not making any of this seem obvious just what I can take in from the quick glance of looking at the van that she points out.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

The car was as nondescript as they come.  No tint, no shading, no accessories...just a run of the mill minivan.  The only oddity is that there are no vehicles parked next to it.  There are at least three to four parking spots between it and the next vehickes.  Why that is does not appear readily determinable.  A few people mill about around the parling lot but most are either arriving or preparing to leave the downtown area.  There aren't any current occupants but obviously she plans on trying to change that scenario.  Tugging Isah's arm she still has that devilish grin on her face.

"I take your silence as a nonissue then my dear...ohh Gd...don't tell me you're a weirdo,,,"

As she speaks herr eyes dart from the van to the alleyway near it and then back.  Its a momentary drop in the smooth fascade and hardly noticable were it not for him already noticing oddities.

Re: Simpler Times - Isah Stone

This vampire thing might still be fairly new to Isah but in his line of work he has seen people go out in death in many different ways. He thinks to himself "yes there could be someone in the ally and knowing what he is now it could be someone like him. Then again he thinks it's somewhat odd that in the parking lot in a busy tourist town why are there no other vehicles parked near this one? This could be some kind of vendetta that he was not aware of." Either way he does not want to risk having to use his powers to slip away because he does not want to reveal his presence in the city especially since he has heard something of "factions" of his kind so he quickly says.

"No No" patting himself down "I must have left my wallet in the bar because it is not on me. I will just run and grab it then be right back."

As he says this he runs his hand down her back and has it come to a rest on her butt gently groping it while he kisses her on her neck.

This will give him the chance to exit whatever this may be without revealing what he is.

He then releases her and heads toward the bar keeping his senses sharp to the surroundings but not to the point of looking figity or obvious.

"Aww...you don't need it tonight.  Come on, I want to show you something.  Trust me, you're gonna want to see this."

The smirk on herr face has faltered a bit as she tugs on Isah's arm towards the van.  Her eyes stay locked on his but there seems to be an urgency there now that was not there before.  A s Isah and her talk one of her ffrriends exits and yells to her.  "Angi....there you are!  I was wondering where you had gone.  Alahna found us a perfect one to bring.  No need to keep trying for that one, c'mon lets go."

"Ahh...you missed out on the rride of your liffe lover.  Maybe next time.."  Running her hand along his cheek and leaning forrward for a quick peck her devilish grin has returned in full force.  Turning to leave she intentionally pushes out her waist into his and then walks away shaking her ass and casting a wink over her shoulder.
