[I'll open up the scene]
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 6:54:09 AM)
The limo arriving promptly at the time specified on Alexanders message service, slowing to a halt out front of his haven or place of work, wherever he had happened to be this night. The driver, a man roughly around 30, came 'round and opened the door for the doctor, giving the Malkavian a polite nod of his head as he gestured him to enter with a stiff gesture of his hand.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 6:58:48 AM)
They pulled through the gates of Rriver Oaks Sanitarium. It was a beautifuly restored old City manse, taht had been added onto for the purposes of makign a mor modern hospital.Alex was dressed in an immaculate designer grey three piece suit, with matchign gentleman's gloves. He wore a blue tie and black shoes. He entered the limo, taking out an antibacterial wipe and wiped the seat down thouroughly before sitting. tucking the spent wipe into his pocket.
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:04:15 AM)
Once inside the door was softly yet promptly closed behind the good doctor, the driver making his way back 'round the car to get behind the wheel. Across from Alexander Gamell sat, crossed legged in manly fashion, his navy blue pin-stripped suit fashionable but a bit out of date. He gave the malkavian a curt smile, as if the expression were difficult for him to make. "Good evening, Doctor Vincent. It's good to meet you." The Princes accent very slight and extremely difficult to place. "I am Gamell Vedmundr, as you know by now Im sure." Holding out a hand toward the Malkav.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:08:27 AM)
"You'll forgive you're highness, one of my rather more interesting quirks is an inability to touch others without an episode, I am in hope your Highness will forgive this plesantry on my part, but if his majesty desires I will formaly shake his hand." Alex was very well spoken and extremely polite. "I am Doctor Alexander Vincent, Childe of Sandra G, 9th in the line to Malkav."
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:12:38 AM)
Gamell chuckled, yet another thing that seemed foreign to the ventrue, being odd sounding and quite brief. "Its quite alright, Dr. Vincent." Lowering his hand so that it came to rest in his lap along with the other one, the two folding together. "Tell me, Doctor, have you been in New Orleans for some time? It is my understanding youve been here at least awhile yes?" The limo pulled back out into traffic, going at a casual pace with the rest of the vehicles on the road this time of night. They drove around the city, going nowhere in particular, as they spoke.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:15:42 AM)
"Not as long as others, but longer than some, Sire. I am by no means an expert on thsi city, nor it politics and people. I arrived after the facility to which you arrived had been built." He offered a polite smile, not giving the prince much filler, simply staing the facts as the Prince was obviously very busy adn had granted Alex a small bit of his time, so Alex would not waste it with idle chit-chat.
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:20:48 AM)
"Had you met the old Prince, Leone Lanza?" Curious to know considering so many had not. "I understand he was not a man who easily gave audience." Gamell glanced out the window at a bunch of rawdy young men leaving a bar, laughing at one another and talking loudly. They werent causing trouble, merely the volume of them had caught his attention briefly. "But I suppose that is also the way of many Tremere and could have simply carried over to his station within the Ivory Tower...."
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:25:29 AM)
"I had met him. He seemed very insighfult. He knew more of me than i did of him, which is the markings of a good prince, especialy sense my particular clan tend to be a bit more colorful than most, i suppose one must keep tabs on them." He watches the younge ment seeming to study them very carefuly. "I keep to my own tower as it were, the places i feel most safe, it is rare to see me out and about, I find that my kind get blamed for much less if we merely are absent from the origins of any calamity." He gave a brief but polite smile.
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:31:36 AM)
Gamell gave Alexander a quizzical look, studying the malkav a moment before he replied. "It is a shame you think you must do so, Doctor. Your clan can be most helpful in many situations. I find Malkavians to be most astute in examination of others that, for example, come into our hands and do not wish to cooperate dont you?" Pausing long enough to put his leg down, both hands ironing out the material of his dress pants. "I would be very grateful if I were able to call upon you if such a thing were to transpire in the future, doctor."
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:38:17 AM)
"I am at your service, my liege; but as we both know not all kindred are as enlightened as others, each were given a blessing and a curse, Malkav's happened to be both." He nodded. "Should your majesty wish it I will go out more. I am unaffraid of what others believe, I know the truth of my being... and even if I am the only one that does... so be it."
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:42:43 AM)
"You are aware that I will be needing a Primogen for your clan yes, Doctor?" The car slowed down some as it made its way along the street they were upon now. Looking out the window Alexander could see they'd begun passing Saint Louis Cemetery, Gamell leaning forward some as he peered outside, his gaze rather intent on the cemetary as if he were searching for something in particular.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:46:00 AM)
"I am aware, your Majesty. Surely there are others more qualified than myself to help in these matters, but I will serve if you ask me to." Alexander looked not at the window but watched the prince, his face, his eyes, the muscles he used to form even a slgiht expression. "Do you know someone who is buried there?"
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:50:01 AM)
The princes gaze broke away from the window momentarily. "I wasn't meaning to say I was choosing you as Primogen, doctor. Merely mentioning it to you incase you were interested. Something to think about I suppose." Gamell listened to the Malkavians question, shaking his head in reply. "Not exactly. Ive been informed there is a...Samedi living here in this cemetary. Are you familiar with the Samedi?"
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 7:54:10 AM)
"I appologize for my assumption, sire. I only infered that you may have mentioned it beccause you felt I was the lesser of theevils, but i suppose due to my rather unquie nature of my curse I am the most qualified to be the primogen. " He listened. "I'm affraid i do not know much about them, sire. merely boogeymen stories used to frighten the Giovanni."
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 7:57:33 AM)
Gamell actually gave a genuine chuckle at the Malkavians comment, looking to Alexander. "That speaks volumes of the Samedi as I do not know much about them myself. I should think perhaps it best I find out more if infact they are present here in New Orleans." The prince thinking aloud more then anything really. "Tell me, Doctor, your establishment, does it house many patients?"
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:01:45 AM)
"It can given the circumstances, Tho I would hardly think many people are going mad at the moment. We mostly offer private care to individuals, or out pacient treatment for various disorders. But should the need arrize We can house up to two hundred patients on teh property. "
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:02:52 AM)
"And another 50 if we close down and refit the museum wing."
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 8:06:13 AM)
The ventrues brows rose as he listened, nodding in understanding. "And do you happen to house kindred there as well or have in the past?" Gamel slipped a hand into his pocket and pulled out his Iphone, giving it a quick glance before clicking it off and letting the object drop lightly into his lap indifferently.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:13:02 AM)
"Housing kindred is often difficult, generaly I prefer not to, for obvious reasons, but I can, I suppose, sequester them in some rooms and keep them hidden if need be. The Problem is restraints for the more violent ones, or ones with the dark gift of supernatural strength. There are methods that can be used to house ghouls at my facility, or to use it sparingly as a possible food bank should the sabbat come knocking at our front door. But you must understand, i am no capable of defending my hospital alone. It is a hospital not a fortress, or a prison." He explained to the prince, while not denying the princes request he merely told the prince the truth of the matter.
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 8:19:24 AM)
"If I were to...assist you financially with the money to perhaps 'upgrade' a particular ward or floor, whichever you thought best, to house kindred in need of a secure facility for short periods of time, would you be willing, Mr. Vincent? You understand it would be benefical to both you and myself. You would be able to study the individual(s) with the knowledge that your well being was being provided for with no cost to yourself. Any damages, if that were to ever happen, I of course would pay for.." His gaze now focused solely on the Malkavian before him as they spoke, the cemetary now past and well, Gamell always took business seriously. Even if the cemetary were still outside their windows, he'd have forgotten about it while they spoke.
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:22:10 AM)
"It could be done, yes, but the facility and the ward would be under my control, not to someone elses, would it?"
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:24:43 AM)
Alex seemed very apprehensive giving control of his hospital to anyone else but himself. But it was obvious that he would probably go for the deal if he was allowed to be in charge of it.
Gamell Vedmundr (Oct 24, 2010 8:27:37 AM)
"It would be yours to run, yes. I wouldnt want it any other way. Just know that there would be a few individuals I would wish you could permit access to the ward at any time. Would that be possible? The sheriff, Seneschal and myself? Otherwise any others would be only with your say, Doctor." Pausing briefly to give a light tap on the glass that seperated them from the front seat. "Head back now, Jacob.." The princes voice calling out to the unseen driver. "Would that be satisfactory? I do not wish to inconvience you nor do I wish to make you feel as if it is no longer your establishment because that is not my intention."
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:30:43 AM)
"Yes that would be acceptable. I will have to talk with some engineers and some builders but I believe it can be done, If I'm not completely mistaken, it will take a bit of research on my part, but I am no stranger to that, sire. I will have ideas for you in teh comming week or so on how we can better accomodate Kindred patcients."
Dr. Alexander Vincent (Oct 24, 2010 8:31:32 AM)
((Thanks for your time, Delerious. I appreciate it. I gott go take care of my boy now, see you soon.))
