*Mensonge would make his way around the chantry.. with a book in hand as he is reading*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:06:23 PM)
The Regent moved out of the office, heading into the library. He cruised along with his cane, a stack of books floating along beside him. Moving into a spot marked Restricted, Barnes lifted the manuals and deposited them accordingly, via Movement of the Mind. He leaned on the cane, gazing at a few more tomes before plucking them from their locale and moving back down the aisles.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:09:16 PM)
*Mensonge would take note of him as he makes his way into the restricted area. thinking to ask him somthing, but stops as he has moved away some. so he watches in hope of getting to him on his way out*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:12:42 PM)
*Becoming vaguely aware of the presence of others, Reginald turned his attention upward and focused upon Mensonge, curiously gazing at the Vampire. The floating books found their place on a table beside the two of them, as the Regent leaned on his cane curiously.* Ah, it's the one who cultivates that single, strange name. Right? Mansongs? Mens... Song... Something. Right? *He lifted his spectacles a bit for a better look.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:14:36 PM)
*he nods to him some* Somthing like that yes... But I have been meaning to speak with you. ((hey... I can say I have the bodys right? cuz they not on my sheet... right?))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:14:56 PM)
[ Yep. ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:16:41 PM)
*he watches him a little* Well.. when the last time we have spoken you said I should get som bodys in order to learn the next lvl of ower magic.. right? For I have come across three...
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:18:13 PM)
I did. Due to the fact that it may not kill our kind, but will always kill those of a more delicate constitution. Why, have you? Not some simple mass embracing that we'll have to clean up after, I hope, young one. *He appeared stern, almost as a grandfather for a moment.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:20:57 PM)
*he shakes his head some* no.. I would not have embraced anyone without promition. But I have made a deal with another clan for them. and part of that deal is No one will come looking for them. So there should be no cleaning up ower clan needs worry about.
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:23:27 PM)
Good man. *He nodded, adjusting the stance to get a better look at the Vampire.* Well, I assume you're coming to me for instruction then, right, Whip? Merely attaining the bodies is a step in the right direction. Are they properly restrained? Staked? Sedated? Torpor simply will not do.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:25:43 PM)
they have been sedated and made unable to move. *nods to him* Yes.. I thought them being in Torpor would be unwise. ((yeah... Ama gave them in locked cofens... so yeah..))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:26:53 PM)
Well, lead the way then. Lead the way, lead the way. *The books lifted once more under their own volition, and flitted towards the Regent's office, while he lifted weight from cane and began to move away from the section he'd been visiting.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:29:28 PM)
*He would take him to were he had the bodies ready to go. there was three of them.. 2 guys 1 girl. all chained up with heavy lights amied at them so there is no way they can be seen from were they stood.* So.. what do you think? would they work for ower needs? *as he watches Barnes some*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:32:12 PM)
They appear at least in workable fashion. Perhaps the most taxing and dangerous aspect of the Path of Blood is it's requirement of a simple touch. One cannot boil the Vitae in another's veins at a distance, but the ability itself is abhorrent in it's power. As we'd discussed, it'll kill any simple being with the most mediocre of successes in application. Use it with a healthy level of trepidation and care, as the postmorten inspection will show some exceedingly strange results. To begin, touch your subject. *He nodded to the body, leaning on his cane.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:35:28 PM)
*he listens and nods to what he says to him.. as he reaches out and places a hand on the womens body. as he moans a little to it. he looks to Branes* Yes sir.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:35:49 PM)
((sorry... she moans... not he...))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:36:07 PM)
[ Ahahah! ]
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:39:34 PM)
Contemplate the things you've learned upon your path here. The ability to gather more than any other at a simple taste of Vitae. Forcing others to expend the aforementioned. Gaining power beyond what any others has access to regarding our lineage. Physically drawing the Vitae from an opponent, literally drinking their lifesblood and limiting their ability to quench wound. To attain strength. To fuel their power. What aspects do they share with one another? What Path fundamentals reach across each movement, each study? Each tome you've milled over endlessly, Childe.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:44:36 PM)
*as he has a hand on the womans body he seems to think of it some as he nods to him* The blood of vampires. the ability to reach into the blood. That is what I see in what I have learned of this path.
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:48:41 PM)
The Vitae itself is a refined form of Blood. Simply entering our forms changes it. For thoes more leaning towards such terms, it Enchants it, Childe. That being said, it remains blood, just something more. Which is why this ability extends far beyond simple Vitae. Why it can target Mortal creatures, influencing their own internal sources of life. Any creature that maintains a bloodstream, can be influenced by our abilities. By the pinnacles of our strength. This, Childe, is the start of your foray into the other paths. When mastering the employ of Vitae, in all its forms, you'll have the fundamental knowledge to control and adapt into the other paths. One cannot run before they can walk, as it were. Now, Childe. Focus. Via the same methodologies that you've employed previously, consider the linear fashion they've held. Focus on your subject. Maintain contact. Clear your mind of their fear and worry. Focus.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 5:54:03 PM)
*he nods and listens more as he keeps a hand on her as he closes his eyes and trys to clear his mind as he thinks of nothing but the blood. He trys hard to do what he can to make the blood in her move about. remembering all he had learned as he grips a little harder into the women. trying to force her blood to boil*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 5:58:30 PM)
Coincide the teachings with what you've learned. The drawing out of Vitae. Literally procuring it from the seat of their ability. Their heart. It's going to sound exceedingly like bullshit, Childe, but vision. Personal images. Focus is the basis of the boil. Our best circumstances allow this as torment, interrogation, and worse. Focus, Childe. *The Regent stepped backward and watched, seeing the body begin to writhe. Her flesh contorted and began to fold and furrow beneath Mensonge's palm. The Vampire begins to exude muffled screams as Reginald cups his hand over her mouth, keeping the jaw closed. After a moment, he released and the force of Movement of the Mind clasped lips and jaw closed to the point where her jaw cracked, blood tears pouring down the "Subject's" cheeks as she weeped openly, silently. Beneath Mensonge's palm, the flesh moved. It roiled, moved, and protested the pressure it laid beneath.* Continue, Childe. Continue.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:07:33 PM)
*as his eyes were closed he invisioned as he was told. as he does he slowly starts to feel her twich in pain as he keeps up with his power the way he was told. Soon he feels her skin feeling odd the way it was he opened his eyes and looked up to her. Seeing the blood weeping from her, he thought of letting go and steping away, as he hears the sound of Barnes' voice telling him to continue. So he bites back what fears or worrys he had been feeling for her. He knows that this magic was going to be used at torcher, but this will waigh on him. As he thinks. 'She is just a subject. nothing more.'*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:08:09 PM)
[ Roll conscience, diff 8. =) ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:09:19 PM)
((05/10/11 22:08:57 Mensonge rolls 3 dice vs. diff of 8 to conscience: 6, 7, 8 : 1 successes But is that a good thing?))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:12:50 PM)
As Mensonge works, he feels fucking terrible, but retains Humanity. The thoughts in his mind flit back and forth. She had no one coming after her, but did that justify the means? Was this really okay? Should he realistically be doing this to a Vampire, or a Mortal, regardless? God, she was in agony. This MONSTER at his side kept egging him on, FORCING the younger Tremere to almost KILL HER. Reginald sat smugly, watching, approving of the pain he was inflicting. The aggravated damage coursed through the test subject, as she writhed and moaned against broken teeth and a jaw forced shut by Thaumaturgy. The others heard these motions and also began to weep, one of the males actually showing a dark red spot between his thighs, urinating in fear. Barnes' approving smile convinced Mensonge of two things at once, a firm feeling of joy and pride, and considering what a fucking bastard this Elder was. It seemed there was no remorse left in him, the ends justifying the means. Mensonge felt, in a word, terrible.
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:19:42 PM)
*as her body withers in his hand he removes his hand and looks to the elder some, before he turns his eyes away from him. He felt the pain she felt. But she was just a subject. But this Elder? some one the younger vamps out there want to be like, was making him keep going. he looks to his owen hand. seeing the power as well as the fear* Wow. that was very much so unsuspected. This magic is odd..
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:23:55 PM)
It's Thaumaturgy, the Magicks of our Vitae manifest, Childe. Boiling the blood that sits stagnant in the veins of the Vampire or fluid in the form of the Mortal is the best, and worst we're capable of on this front. Exercise with care. *He paused, looking towards one of the ghouled attendants. Reginald made a sweeping motion as he looked to the man, who nodded and left the room. The Regent looked towards Mensonge once more and gestured that he continue.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:28:16 PM)
*as he looks to the elder he sees him telling the ghoul to go.. was this elder going to make him kill her? But with a sigh he knows there is only one thing he can do. As he replaces his hand onto her body and returns with the memery of what he felt when he at first did this to her. As he closed his eyes as he did not really want to watch her in any more pain.*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:33:57 PM)
Such attachments and remorse will leave you over time, Childe. It's natural to maintain a hold on Humanity. To balk at what is required for advantage. What is required for knowledge. *Reginald nodded and the body began bucking wildly, as the female Cainite entered frenzy, her body slowly starting to fall apart completely. The blood beneath her skin roiled and flexed, as muscle tension began to push its last efforts. The maintained pressure on her jaw kept firm, though as her body slowly ashed from the inside out, one last scream poured from voicebox through larynx, a terrible gurgling sound that once again made the others urinate themselves in a wash of red, blabbering about something incoherent beyond their gags. The Ghoul returned, and began sweeping up the ashes and various elements of clothing that remained of the girl, puffs of her remains lingering on their clothing. The Regent gave a smile and nodded to Mensonge, approvingly.* You've done well, but practice is perfect, Childe. I surmise that you'll mov
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:34:12 PM)
l move along well without direction, although I expect the laboratory to remain free of ash. Am I clear Whip? *He canted his head to the side and waited, looking with that same sort of fatherly appearance yet completely lacking any remorse for forcing final death.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:39:08 PM)
*Mensonge was not so luck as to have no remorse as he looked to his owen ash filled hand... But he soon comes to turm with what is happening as he looked to his elder and offered a nod to him* Yes Sir.. Ash free it will be. And I will keep up with my studies. *as he turns away from the elder to look at the other two bodies on the wall. as he thinks of what is to become of them. and how he will have to keep his eyes open for the next kill.*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:42:28 PM)
As I stated, Childe, physical contact for the power to take effect and cause damage, is dangerous. You are encouraged to make ample employ of other abilties we cultivate to suppress this. Forays into Dominate mayhap. Or maybe even calling out favors from the Blue Bloods to build your own shape's resistance to such things. Keep this in mind. All the knowledge on this blue Earth will not save you from a reckless Brujah if you are as careless as they. *He clasped a hand on Mensonge's shoulder, leaning on the cane. A smile crossed Barnes' face and he nodded again, blowing a plume of ash away from his face as though it were a fly rather than the remains of an unknown victim. Chuckling, he nodded and gave a light bow, with a turn to head towards his office.*
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:48:18 PM)
*he stands there like a stone.. the Elder was right.. but he did not want to say so right now. as the ash was blowen away he offer a bow to the elder* Thank you for teaching me this. *as he takes a step to the next body.. But as he lifts his hand to lay it on his chest he stops and thinks how he should have a gage on him. so he stops short to look the guy over.*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:49:08 PM)
[ Put in the request. =) Any questions? ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:51:47 PM)
((only one... I made two ish deals with Ana.. one was to bleed them a little in order to have some vampire blood for latter. Should I wait till she gets back to do that? oh and she want's one of the bodys latter. so I was kind of ashing one of them.. but keep the other for her. okay... I guess another thing would be I should ask.. can I use them well.. but then stop and let them heal?))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:53:25 PM)
[ Can, but further torture is just as taxing on conscience as killing, if not more. Keeping one alive will require another roll if you want to use it for a test subject, but all sorts of things are possible if you can maintain. As far as the Blood, can say you pulled it out ahead of time. Though I need to find out where Amaryllis got them from, which I'm already pretty sure of. ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:55:45 PM)
((okay then... I would be cool for another conscience roll. and for the blood... that is why I put in the request for the jars.. *nods*))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:56:11 PM)
[ Yar, understood. Roll 'em while I'm here. ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:56:30 PM)
((how many rolls? and still diff 8?))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:56:41 PM)
[ One, and diff 8, yep. ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:57:32 PM)
((05/10/11 22:56:59 Mensonge rolls 3 dice vs. diff of 8 to Conscience: 4, 7, 10 : 1 successes Wow... I don't know if that is lucky... but I will live with it.))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 6:58:11 PM)
[ You get to maintain Humanity, and feel bad again. But you do it nonetheless. Lower Humanity translates to rolling less often, but at this stage even defacing property and stealing makes Mensonge feel bad. ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 6:59:34 PM)
((yeah... this is all for self-defence... well he hopes))
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 7:00:06 PM)
[ *Nods* Right, right. I'll put the request through in a bit. But yep, all's well. =) ]
Mensonge (May 10, 2011 7:01:07 PM)
((okay... thank you... I will edit my request. thank you again. *nods lots more*
Reginald Winston Barnes IV (May 10, 2011 7:01:37 PM)
[ No sweat. Happy to be of service. FPM if ya need me, gonna go tend to the kid who should be up shortly. =) ]
