*Nathaniel exits his room, a book in one hand a popsicle in the other as he makes his way down the stairs towards the library, barely looking where he walks. He is wearing a less than flashy button up shirt and khaki pants, no shoes*

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 1:51:07 PM)
Serena was at long table, in the library. There were several heavy volumes of lore open and and piled around her. She had a leatherbound journal that she was writing in, the language was clearly not English. She seemed to be in full research mode. She was wearing some black loungepants, and a matching top. The material soft and comfortable. Her feet were bare. Completely casual.

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 1:51:41 PM)
(what language?)

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 1:51:46 PM)
(Hebrew)

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 1:53:56 PM)
*Reaching the base of the stairs he glances up from his book seeing Serena using the main table in the library... curious he approaches but stays back far enough not to get his popsickle anywhere near the texts as he takes a tentative lick* Pleasure to see you again Serena... what's on the menu today? *indicates the texts spread out on the table*

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 1:57:08 PM)
"I'm researching the Salubri. Luckily I brought over my own library, compliments of my sire so I have some materials to cross reference. It's going to take me a few weeks though, at any rate. Lore on them is rare and scattered, and pretty tightly controlled. There is a few first hand accounts, but again, you have to cross reference every single detail to filter out fact from fiction or worse, guessing."

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 1:59:55 PM)
*nods* Well I don't know all the languages here... *ponders* But I do speak Latin and there are always online translators if need be... *winks as he takes a bite of the popsicle* I'm quite skilled at research. *extends his popsicle to her* If you want some help.

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:00:53 PM)
(int 4, occult 4, investigation 3, academics 4... and a bit of computer)

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:04:28 PM)
"Oh I'm fine. I'm handling the workload. Besides, this -is- a competition. You have your own project for the chantry, Nathaniel." She shook head, looking at the popsicle as if it might bite her. "I'm afraid I cannot stomach human food. Not even a little bit without an immediate and violent reaction. I do miss such things as wine, or just playing at human with a co-worker, but alas....I just never really had any free time to learn any of the finer points of the Masquerade."

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:07:38 PM)
*quirks an eyebrow* Oh you thought this was mortal food *chuckles then offers it again* It's a blood popsicle... this one's type A positive *nods* As to the competetion... I haven't forgotton *grins* Plans are in motion.

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:13:17 PM)
"I personally am extremely excited about my assignment. Just imagine! I will go against one of the enigmatic enemies of the Tremere clan! I will have my own first hand account to document! I have been waiting for something like this since I first heard about them some odd years ago. What a rare opportunity! Oh I HOPE we can get it alive and bring it here for study. Just imagine!" Her eyes practically glowed with excitement. Clearly, this was something she was greatly looking forward too. She shook her head still at the popcicle. "No thank you. I prefer 98.6 from the vein. I hate chilled blood, I really do. Ugh. Necessary at times, but ultimately it is vile!"

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:15:03 PM)
*shrugs at her not wanting the popsicle* I will enjoy our task immensely as well. I've got a meeting in regards to it soon actually. I'm just enjoying a bit of free time before a meeting later... thought you might want to kick off your *glances down at her well manicured toes* well... I guess you already got that covered. *begins to head back up to his room but stops and turns* Oh how was your meal last night... that club owner?

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:17:54 PM)
"No..not the owner. He's head of security, um...a 'bouncer' I think he reffered to himself as." She paused as if considering his question. "He proved to have many ....hidden qualities, but was rather lovely company." She made a gesture towards him. "What about you? You were practically swimming in young women!"

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:21:35 PM)
*shrugs* They were both very beautiful... but not a worthy meal *makes a distatesful face* I prefer a 1st class meal *grins* (flaw: can only drink from upper class). *raises an eyebrow* After this... competition... is over Serena I would very much like to work with you on some of your projects and ask your assistance with some of mine *unconsciously glances down toward her body in her relaxed clothing and smiles appreciatively*

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:28:07 PM)
She nodded. "I can understand that. There are theories that when you drink from mortals you absorb some of their essence, their willpower. My sire always told me to try to feed from those who usurp the natural order. The ones who prey upon each other, who are evil and cruel or harbour darkness in their souls. It keeps the line of humanity free of such blights. Like wolves who pick out the sick and weak so the herd can grow stronger. So may we too, find that which is unfit and correct it. " She nodded slightly to the last part. "Perhaps Nathaniel, perhaps. Just remember what we are here to do." She arched one brow slightly at that, it was a gentle chastisement for how he was looking her over. But chastisement nonetheless.

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:32:35 PM)
*Nathaniel furrows his brows at her statement about types of blood giving a ponderous hmmm* You make an excellent point *finishes off his popsickle* I do believe I would enjoy exploring this topic in greater detail when we have more time *nods twice* Again a pleasure *glances at her books* and good luck with your research... regardless of who wins... it will all be good for the house *sighs and \cringes inwardly at the thought of his upcoming meeting. Nathaniel bows just a bit before making his way up the stairs whistling the theme from Hostel as he does so*

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:34:38 PM)
She nodded a bit, and turned back to her studies. Diving back in to her research.

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:34:59 PM)
(Haven't gotten a chance to finish that scene with Vincent yet....hence why the answer was so vague! LOL)

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:35:22 PM)
( i have a horrible irl memory... what was your and anna's task again i've forgotton)

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:35:44 PM)
(To track down and kill a Salubri rumored to be in the area)

Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 15, 2011 2:36:02 PM)
(blinks... omg that's a cool one)

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:36:34 PM)
(Yup and could net some clan prestige if things go well....of course if they go badly.....HEH)

Serena Reed (Aug 15, 2011 2:41:49 PM)
(Finishes capping. Okay...guess going to the foyer, and working on some thread stuff)
