(OTB stands for Off Track Betting by the way.. place where you can bet on horse races without going to the track)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:21:20 PM)
(What's the finish line..... ahh thank you :) )
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:21:32 PM)
(Thats the name of the place. )
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:21:53 PM)
(so the establishment is known as The Finish Line and it is an OTB. )
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:22:03 PM)
(I'll start things off)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:22:20 PM)
(no worries I will cue myself a soundtrack while you type :) )
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:26:30 PM)
One thing Nero loved about The Finish Line is if you've been to one OTB than you've been to any OTB. Each had the same tacky wallpaper, and the same assortment of wallflowers that stood there chipping away at it. Looking for that one pony that would make a late charge and with it's surge steal all their troubles away with a victory, at least till the next race. Gambling was like a poison in their veins, no matter how much they sucked at the wound they could never get the root of it out. Televisions buzzed with the sounds of race officials calling winners and odds all around the place, it took a keen ear or years of practice to separate the noise and make sense of it all. A low flying cloud of smoke lingered permanently in the place. Stuffed amid all the losers was the Ravnos, a pair of spectacles at the end of his nose as he read over the race track program, a gray fedora on his head to compliment the slate gray suit he wore. For the first time he looked antiquated.
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:29:52 PM)
*Anna enters into the environment with a somewhat hesitant step. Gnawing lightly on her bottom lip she slips her hands into the pockets of her loose jeans and knows instinctively she shouldn't be here, shouldn't be around any of the people that could develop close ties to her, it was too dangerous; He was too dangerous. The deep forest green peasant blouse falling off her left shoulder, the loose chestnut curls fell softly around her elfin features, bright almost startling green eyes looking around for either Nero or a sign of escape, it was almost impossible to tell which, just as impossible for her to decide which she most wanted to see.*
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:33:03 PM)
He spotted her when he lifted his head to light a cigarette. He wasn't trying to hide mind you, he'd called her to meet. It was just so long since he wore the style of his time. These 'new' suits stores sold were a joke, not compared to the old ones he still had hanging in his closet at 1508 Broadway Street. After a puff he rose, pulling the cigarette away he whistled and motioned with his right hand to signal is location. A smile was on his face the whole time. Was there any reason for it not to be genuine?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:33:53 PM)
(meh. is = his
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:36:30 PM)
*Her gaze falling upon him first she offers a quick smile that lacked the same mischief it had held before, instead appearing a tight thing that seemed to perfectly match the dark smudges beneath her eyes. Starting through the crowd towards him with her natural grace she weaves her way through little knots of people before finally making her way to his side.* Nero. You look well, new suit?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:41:17 PM)
Taking another puff of the smoke as he waited, he stuffed the program under his arm. He exhaled all the smoke before she'd made it to the small table he was at. The smile was there the entire time. "Actually, I've had this one for years now, kind of a classic if you will. Please, join me." He said as he began to sit down. Placing the program back on top of the table he waved for a waitress to come over. "Would you like something to drink, a vodka perhaps? I can't promise they have the best but any drink at times serves the same purpose." He was cordial, and why not be. He had little reason to distrust her. "You know it's been two weeks or so since I've seen you. Oh I know we've spoken on the phone once before. I figured that was rather revealing for the both of us, but I guess now the cat is out of the bag to some degree isn't it?" The waitress approached and took his old glass, he ordered another and both waited on Anna
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:44:23 PM)
*She nodded towards the waitress, indicating that she will take a second of whatever drink Nero had ordered, waiting for her to turn around and leave before turning her gaze back towards him. The remnants of the smile ghosting upon her lips she looks to him with a little nod of agreement.* Yes I guess so. Strange that we were both dancing around eachother without realising we both worked for the same man. I wondered at first if I should have guessed, but then how could I be expected to guess such a thing. *The smile grows just a fraction as she takes a seat opposite him and crosses her legs.* I'd ask what you are doing for him but I'm not entirely sure I want to know... which is likely strange in and of itself.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:50:11 PM)
Stuffing out the cigarette his right hand slowly rose to remove the fedora by pulling it off from the crease of the crown. Placing it atop the table he dusted it off as he listened to her. When she inquired he raised his eyes from the hat to hers. " Coincidence at times can feel like something else, but alas I think we both are just fools to fate. As for what part I play in his 'schemes' I can reassure you that it's a small part if one at all. " He wished to continue but the waitress returned with two Jack and Cokes. After she left, he raised his glass to Anna " Salute. " after taking a sip he continued "have you fed recently?" It was put there as an off hand question, enough she could misconstrue its intentions
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 8:53:20 PM)
*Raising the glass up she toasts him before taking a large gulp, mentally damning the coke for getting in the way of the alchohol. Blinking in surpise at the sudden question she lays the drink back on the table before her.* Recently enough, I mean he doesn't leave me to starve, he makes sure I have a bottle of what I need once a month and so I just ration it out. *She looks down at the table before her, she hated saying it, hated feeling like a pet. Impossible to explain that she'd tried denying herself the blood, tried to break this crazed addiction and found that her will simply wasn't strong enough.* You?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 8:58:04 PM)
"Not in months" He said. His eyes glanced down to the paper for a second then he remembered the glasses and fetched them off the end of his nose. In life he needed them to see better, of course old habits die hard. "Of course if I had to pick a source it wouldn't be from him. As you may well know, there is a cruelty that resides within him. One I care to keep a distance from if at all possible. " tucking the glasses away his hands cupped the glass and turned it in slow circles as his eyes returned to hers. "There are benefits, whether or not you'd care to hear that of course is debatable, but there are. You look very nice tonight by the way, very lovely indeed. " The smile widened as he found another cigarette
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:01:55 PM)
It's not cruelty, I mean... *she floundered, that initial almost overpowering responce to defend him impossible to repress.* People just don't understand him. *She finished lamely, the words sounding somewhat pathetic even to her own ears. Shaking her head a little she sat up straighter, the green eyes finding his and looking into them for a long moment before she changes the topic, speaking softly.* Don't please Nero. Don't be attracted to me, don't like me, you shouldn't have called me, it's not safe. I.. I know I don't make sense, you just have to trust me on this. You don't belong to him I take it, and I do. We shouldn't be meeting.
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:02:36 PM)
(brb phone!)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:02:43 PM)
(no rush )
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:03:06 PM)
(lol and back, they hung up!)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:07:54 PM)
There was a softness to him that was evident, he never had the 'pleasure' of being a ghoul. No his sire felt the compulsion to take everything from him in one evening. His left hand left the cold glass to settle on hers. His eyes didn't waver as a 'shhh' parted past the unlit cigarette to comfort her "I don't fear your 'man' anymore then he fears me. I understand everything you are going through more then you'll ever understand Anna. " His hand patted hers before slithering back, the faint cold of his skin intensified by that of the cold glass. "It gets easier as time passes, believe me. You find yourself given over to it, and to him. " With that he broke his eyes from her to take a swig from his glass. "Don't punish yourself, this isn't your fault. Believe me."
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:11:53 PM)
It's never anyone's fault Nero, it just is. *She watched him for a moment before turning away again, her eyes drifting instead over the surroundings looking blindly at anything other than the man opposite her. Swallowing past the lump in her throat she reached for a shred of pride remaining to her.* Punishing myself wouldn't do any good anyhow, all I can do is keep away from those that I am a danger to. Can you understand that?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:17:58 PM)
"I can understand the idea behind it, but you must understand such an idea is futile. Mikhail has gifts that work past your will, that have stronger pull, even stronger then what you diet on monthly. You have to understand that to resist will only destroy what you are trying to protect. There is no 'win/win' solution to this problem darlin, only survival, and that is what you need to focus on. You need not care about anyone else other than yourself because if you do. I'm sad to say the result. " With that the Zippo gave off that classic 'chink' and sparked to life. Taking a pull he snapped the lighter closed and placed it between them. "I've spoken with him about working with you. He told to find someone else. However, I'm very bad at listening to direction. You say go away yet here I am, he says leave you alone *shaking his head* but yet I call. Slow learner I guess. Still, things aren't completely bleak. "
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:23:24 PM)
*She laughs a bitter little sound and turns back towards him at that.* Things aren't completely bleak? You tell me that my life has now become entirely about survival and nothing more. I have no freedom, I can't let myself care about anyone or let anyone care about me, but sooner or later I will learn to love my imprisonment. *Shaking her head she looks to him as though he were completely incapable of understanding anything that she was saying.* Nero you don't understand, I -can't- fight him, I just can't. I've tried, tried it for both his sake and mine and .... you say that he doesn't want us to work together? Then I -cannot- work with you. I have no choice in this.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:29:08 PM)
"Please, settle yourself Anna." There was no power behind the word other than a tension he seemed to be fighting beneath himself. He remained silent for a moment collecting his thoughts, the power of kindred blood tugging his thoughts away from her and to another for a moment. Focusing his concentration he returned to speaking. "Mikhail, like anyone else is as open to suggestion as you are Anna. He doesn't value you half of what he should, and I wish to take advantage of that. There is something he's asked me to do, a rather impossible task, but then again, impossible tasks seem to be my specialty. If I am able to recover something important of his, well lets just say you'd be traded like a commodity. "
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:33:58 PM)
A.. a commodity. *She stops, taken completely by suprise. Simply blinking at him for a long moment while her mind races blindly in an attempt to catch up to his words, she reaches for her drink and finishes it entirely as she tries to wrap her thoughts around the concept that Mikhail would trade her out like a piece of livestock. It wasn't possible, couldn't be possible, could it? There was a bond between them, a tie, wasn't that why he'd forbidden her to harm herself?* Nero, are you saying that he's offered me as payment for something that he wants you to get for him? Is that even possible?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:38:21 PM)
"Yes Anna, that is what I'm exactly getting at. I can't promise you that I will be able to accomplish my task, but if I do you will no longer be under the power of his will. You'd be free to live your life. " He felt like he was lying, like he had to even convince himself of the last part. He was attracted to Anna on a myriad of different levels and to just give up would take willpower. "Would you like another one? " Nudging his glass towards her "Don't deny me the chance to help you Anna. He hasn't, I hope you won't."
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:44:54 PM)
*She nods, her eyes falling upon the empty glass.* Yes, with no coke please. *The words coming from her lips sounded as though they were spoken from far away while she struggles to take in his words. To be free seemed a dream, something she wanted to grasp at with all of her soul, her natural instincts at war with the bond as she struggles to reconcile the two.* I...but, he needs me. *She closed her eyes, gods she hated herself for saying it, hated the panic that fluttered in her chest at the very thought of being seperated from him. Her eyes remaining closed she spoke softly.* I wish things were different, I wish... *She finally opens her eyes to look at him, a mist of tears glassing over their surface.* I wish we could have met at a different place and time. (I'm tossing up rolling to break the bond for the scene but I am fairly certain she will fail, going to grab the book and try it anyway!)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:46:02 PM)
(10/03/11 01:45:40 Anna Karenin rolls 4 dice vs. diff of 8 to willpower: 1, 4, 7, 3 : Botch! lol well I think that says it all)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:46:20 PM)
(haha.. yeah these things happen)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:46:38 PM)
(you want to handle her reaction first)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:47:26 PM)
(I think her reaction likely stands as is... the blood bond is making her unable to accept a reality where she is seperated from Mikhail and she's on the verge of tears... that sond botchy enough to you?)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:48:25 PM)
(the botch might just solidify her resolve that he needs her. working on nero's response anyway =D)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 9:51:20 PM)
Her pain, torment, and struggled pulled at every fiber that fought to remain human. Mikhail's poison not only polluted her body but her mind. Whatever will Anna had left was struggling to maintain balance much less some sense of control. He felt the same pull to Rosetta so long ago. He waved over the waitress and ordered a double for Anna nothing for himself, as the woman left he finally broke his silence "As do I Miss Karenin, another place a long, long time ago. " He said it as a passing thought and finished the cigarette stuffing it out. "I'm not going to give up on you Anna, I just hope you understand that. "
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 9:54:39 PM)
*The tears spill down her cheeks, a hand quickly raising to try and wipe them away as she knows without doubt that Mikhail cannot be safe without her, and she cannot be free unless she sacrifice him; an unthinkable, terrifying thing to do.* You have to give up on me Nero. If I knew then what I knew now I never would have come to your bar, I never would have tried to embroil you in my life. You don't understand, you -can't- understand, I'm not safe for you to know. Please, if you will do one thing for me, just please forget we ever met. Just walk away and keep on going.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:00:52 PM)
As the waitress returned, she looked to Nero who handed her a few bills then waved her away at the question of change. Leaning on an elbow, his fingers wrapped around his chin in contemplation for a minute. A smile danced upon his face as he watched her misery. "You fancy yourself a gambler Anna? We both know I enjoy a game of cards but who doesn't. I only ask because I'm willing to make a bet with you. Simple chance. " Producing a coin he placed it down upon the table for her to inspect if she wished. It was a 1931 double eagle coin, the side facing up had Saint Gaudin's.
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:03:12 PM)
*The drink clutched at she throws it back in the way only a girl who spends her free time with Russian mobsters and gamblers can. Her head tilting backwards as she makes a quick grab at the kind of numb relief alchohol ca bring. Wiping away the last of the tears she shakes her head.* You keep forgetting that I cheat Nero, that's the only way that gamblers win.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:07:21 PM)
"Well this you can't cheat darling. This is good ol' fashioned luck. The best chances you'll ever get I'm giving you right now, better then any house. 50/50. If this coin lands up with Saint Gaudens staring at us, then I'll leave this place and I'll forget you, forget our time and walk out of your life. However.. " He refused to hide the smile on his face, he figured she still didn't know his nature, that being he no longer 'lived' as she does, nor what he is capable of. "if this coin is to say, land on tails with the eagle facing up. Than you have to promise to not give up, on me.. and of course yourself. " Leaning over the table the smile widened as he spoke: "Call it in the air?"
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:10:09 PM)
*She looks down to the coin, almost afraid of it, as though it held her last hope within it's shining surface. It was ridiculous, it was only a coin and yet. Nodding without a word she looked back up to him. agreeing to the wager before she could overthink it's implications and change her mind.* That's quite a bet, but after all we are both gamblers in our own ways aren't we?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:12:54 PM)
"More then you'll ever know kiddo. " His fingers snapped at the coin and retracted it quickly. The coin rolled through his palm with a natural grace and in an instant was balanced atop his thumb. Like that, the gold coin took flight from his fingers and started a lovely dance through the air. He let his right hand slip out to where it was set to fall. His eyes kept focused on the coin as it continued it's dance through the air. All he needed was her call.
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:15:05 PM)
*She watches the little movement, a smile playing around the corners of her mouth as she remembered being suprised that he could palm cards, having thought him a boy with little understanding of what took place outside the glittering safe casino's that so many flocked to. Her eyes following the coin as it spins up in the air she made the call, feeling her heart stop beating for a moment as she holds her breath and waits for it to fall.* Tails you walk away, heads we don't give up.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:15:10 PM)
(rereads. man he already told her what each side meant. hence why you don't watch the football game and rp)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:15:30 PM)
(That's okay I got it, she called! :) )
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:20:42 PM)
10/03/11 02:15:55 Nero Gaspare rolls 0 dice vs. diff of 1 to Fata Morgana + Apparition (-2bpts): ,W : 1 successes
The coin bounced against the fatty part of the palm beneath the thumb it then fell to rest with Saint Gaudens facing up at the both of them. Whether or not it really "was" heads or not, he didn't care. He wasn't willing to let her life go for mere chance. Nero didn't play any game that the odds weren't in his favor, not anymore. The smile was only fettered by a thin laughter that trickled past his lips. "Looks like someone up above is sending a message I'd say." Closing his hand he returned the coin to the inside pocket of his coat and leaned back "This doesn't make anything easier or change anything, all it does it let you know I'm there for you Anna, and I'm not going to give up. I know that you can't believe in me, but I believe in you. " The smile had faded by the time he stopped speaking. Their world was a bleak one, that couldn't be denied. Still, all he could do was hope.
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:25:00 PM)
*She simply stared at the coin for a long moment, a reluctant smile finally coming to her lips that was reminiscent of the carefree girl he'd first met. Raising her eyes to his when the coin was pocketed again, she watches him, and he could sense a barely perceptable change within her. It wasn't hope, it wasn't strong enough to be called hope, perhaps it was just an absence of the utter despair she had shown thus far.* I think we're both destined to live very long lives Nero, perhaps rather than meeting a long time ago in a different place, we can meet a long time from now in a different place. Where things are more possible and .. *she shakes her head.* I don't know, maybe it's time I just give up on trying to imagine what is possible and what isn't?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:27:59 PM)
"Right now darling all I think you should do is focus on finishing your drink, then getting home to some sleep. You're taxed, it's evident enough without 'this' stress. I've a friend outside, Benny I'll walk you to him. He can take you anywhere you need to go, free of charge. Hey, hey look at me. " He said steadying his voice. "I'll succeed at my task, don't you worry. Now come on, there is a warm place in hell for someone who wastes good whiskey. "
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:30:50 PM)
*She laughs at that and reaches for her glass, the last of the whiskey tossed back before the empty glass is placed before her once more.* What place in hell is reserved for thieves and gamblers? I think I'm already booked in there and so there's little use in trying to save my soul now. *She tilts her head to the side with a smile as she looks to him.* You could just ask me where I live rather than having your friend take me home you know?
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:34:43 PM)
"If you are good enough kiddo, you can even cheat the devil once or twice. "
His eyes narrowed at her comment, even within the fog her mind lost in she still had her wits. Interesting, he noted. "That is true, but since I can't walk you home myself. I care to leave the task in hands I trust as dearly as my own. If you'd care to share the information then by all means. I'd love to pay a visit any time. " His left hand pulled the fedora to his chest, his posture straightening as he waited for her to respond
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:38:59 PM)
I'd like that as well.. too much, which is probably why I shouldn't tell you. *She hesitates for a moment before pulling out a pen from her bag and leaning over to scribble her address on whatever discarded gambling ticket happened to lie nearby.* I meant what I said Nero, you should stay away from me. I -will- betray you, sooner or later I won't be able to help myself.. even though it kills whatever part of me is left.

He took the slip of paper away from her with enough force to defeat whatever resistance she offered. Smirking he glanced at the piece of paper and looked around. "Do you happen to know the fable of the scorpion and the frog? "
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:43:08 PM)
*She nods in responce, the curls bobbing up and down around her shoulders as she reluctantly releases the paper into his posession. Her eyes staying fixed upon him, whatever smile he had teased out of her vanishes as the weight of her situation comes down upon her shoulders once more.* "It was my nature". Shouldn't you take heed from such a tale Nero? If you tie your fate to mine, chances are that I will destroy us both.
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 10:46:32 PM)
"See, assumptions. You think you are the scorpion in this tale. Believe me when I say that couldn't be any further from the truth. You should know all to well I won't be able to look past MY 'nature'. I've no doubt you will betray me Anna, actually I look forward to it. I came into this conversation knowing all to well I'm talking to Mikhail right now. It matters little. " He brushed off the thought of there being any fear. He'd looked into the Ravnos's eyes and had at faint idea of what he was to face. "Don't worry Anna, just cause I've bad luck with women doesn't mean you'll be the death of me. I think I already know how that plays out. " A laugh then left his lips full of mirth. "Now come on, you need your sleep and I've much more work to do tonight. " He then slowly started to rise, as if waiting for her to join suit.

Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:49:38 PM)
*Standing up she nodded, starting to turn away before a thought struck her. Pausing she looked back to him.* Two things Nero. If you are the scorpian does that mean you will not be able to help but betray me? *She watches him in question, and strangely the question doesn't seem to cause her distress, rather it simply piques her curiosity.* And what is it exactly that you are trying to get for him?

"Just worry about getting across the river Mr. Frog I will handle everything else. " He said with a wide grin and a wink to top it off. He stepped close to her at her inquiry at his 'task'. Taking a page from his sire his eyes searched hers as they stood an inch apart "Don't trouble yourself with the particulars. It's as good as done " He leaned towards her, his lips brushing past her cheek to whisper into her ear: "Good night Miss Karenin. " Pulling back, his heart if it could beat would sink. He took no joy in playing her, yet knew any information was dangerous, if she really wanted to know she'd ask Mikhail. Turning he stuffed the hat atop his head, and with a look back started out the door
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:56:43 PM)
*She remained still for a long moment watching him leave, utterly unaware that she was being played or perhaps simply not wanting to even consider the possibilty. She knew it was hopeless, but there was a beauty in the tragedy of their meeting, a beauty that would keep her warm tonight at least. Tonight, she wouldn't drink the blood, it was a futile gesture, but it was a gesture none the less and it was hers to make even if no one ever knew of it. Shaking her head at the thought she started out of the racetrack, trying to remember a time when everything seemed fresh and new.*
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 10:56:54 PM)

(Nero has a sire to protect. if Mikhails blood goes back to him and he happens to die.. well then how did the tremere use blood magic on him? they don't have his blood.. or do they.)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:00:53 PM)
(lol this is getting complicated in a beautifully ravnos way.)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:01:37 PM)
(yeah.. deception within deception)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:01:53 PM)
(oh and yes she did give him her address. Also I didn't make any subt rolls because she wasn't lying, she honestly just doesn't want to be around anyone she cares about, because she knows she will be forced to betray them sooner or later.)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:02:48 PM)
(sadly Nero himself is also stuck with someone. He'll never leave Rosetta)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:03:17 PM)
(lol so he is in exactly the same position she is in)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:03:20 PM)
(he wants to help anna because he assumes, she as a mortal is what Rose was like before she became a vampire)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:03:34 PM)
(and to him.. that is beautiful. Anna'
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:04:00 PM)
(anna's personality and the fact that she's cut from the same cloth as him really meant something )
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:04:13 PM)
(It's a lovely little tragedy! that will no doubt end badly)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:04:22 PM)
(oh yeah. he's fucked. let me tell you. he made an illusion of rosetta to hold him)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:04:34 PM)
(haha. for someone probably. but it's been fun so far)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:05:01 PM)
(Awesome! lol he has decent wp though, can't he drop down to a 2pt bond at some point?)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:05:46 PM)
(oh he's not blood bound. he's only at the first drink.. and that was by his doing not hers. haha. Rosetta was going to frenzy at him biting her)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:06:49 PM)
(ahhh just obsessed with his sire. Got it!)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:06:59 PM)
(she loves nero for nero, not some mindless drone. See, when she was mortal she loved Nero's father, sadly she was ghouled then turned and never got to be with Alfredo.. they actually talked about children, and said they'd name their boy Nero. She loved that name. So, since Nero looks indentical to Fredo, but is more like her.. she fell in love and embraced him)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:07:38 PM)
(Nero.. yeah thats a mixed bag, part obsessed, part remorse. He doesn't really know where to cast that vote. )
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:08:33 PM)
(Okay this is an incredibly complicated little scenario!)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:09:00 PM)
(haha. yeah well. it's how I write.)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:09:26 PM)
(it works though! And into this complication trips Anna, the wandering gypsy who found herself enslaved without realising it had happened.)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:09:27 PM)
(anyway, was a real fun scene =D can't wait to see how things progress)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:10:15 PM)
(Definately! I'm glad you got me to log in. Just poke me if you want her again, she is pretty much spending her days keeping busy and hiding in her apartment at night to try and avoid everyone she knows. lol)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:10:42 PM)
(as things progress and will probably know this week I'll let ya know. haha. Nero is just a busy man now)
Nero Gaspare (Oct 2, 2011 11:11:14 PM)
(anyway, take care and have a good night darlin!)
Anna Karenin (Oct 2, 2011 11:11:41 PM)
(Night! :) )
