[OK we're gonna have this being her first meeting with Gamel. What we need to figure out is how she ended up here in the first place.]
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:30:07 AM)
[So basically this will be a retro scene, something that perhaps happened a week or so ago. That way it'll give you the foundation you need as to her 'relationship' with the Prince which will help you for any future RP with anyone because you'll know where she stands etc in court.]
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:31:34 AM)
(( well we should figure i mean was Gamel with the group that was attacked after the opera...was that her old dominator ...i never mention what happend to him or talked of him again....last thing that would happen to her would be the incident involing the truck of a car*
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:32:49 AM)
[No he had nothing to do with any of that which is why our biggest obstacle is how she ended up in New Orleans and how she knew where to go to find elysium, to find the prince etc]
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:34:35 AM)
(( Joelle manages a couple of accounts for the ventrue...she has alot of knowledge and is useful when it comes to controlling finacing. ...She got alot of important count numbers in her head ...and if her old donimator couldnt look after her properly she could be assigned to a new one...a new place were she can be put to use supporting the corperation))
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:36:53 AM)
Ok so lets say she gets sent to Gamel by her old Domitor, someone he may have known in his past at some point, and a clan member so that he'd be able to find out how to reach the Prince. We'll have it that the domitor basically talked Joelle up to Gamel, boasting how good she was at keeping books etc enough to pique the Princes interest and agree to bring her here because of some undisclosed reason only Gamel and her Domitor know of
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:37:03 AM)
Sound good?
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:37:21 AM)
sounds awesome!
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:37:50 AM)
ie: Joelle doesnt know why her domitor sent her here. He only told her it was for her own safety?
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:38:06 AM)
kk she believes him and trust him entirely
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:38:20 AM)
because lets be honest....what other choice does she have than to trust him
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:39:01 AM)
Ok So we'll have this scene roughly happening a week ago. She's being picked up by Gamel at a bus depot? Sound good?
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:39:13 AM)
kk sounds good
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:39:18 AM)
Ok I'll set the scene.

Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:43:31 AM)
She'd been told to look for the black limo, that it would be parked outside in the "Kiss N Ride" area where most were dropped off or picked up by friends and family. As sure as the sun rises, it was there, the motor running silently, its tinted windows giving away nothing to who or what might be waiting inside. As Joelle would come into view, the driver would step out, an older mulatto male of about 50 with salt and pepper hair that was kept short beneath the drivers hat he wore. He would give the ghoul a nod of his head out of politeness and move 'round the vehicle, opening the back door for her before moving to take her things and place them in the trunk.
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:50:01 AM)
*Joelle hands were placed in the pocket of her dark blue trench coat, her hair pulled back in a tight pony tail. She held her laptop bag to her chest as she watched the comings and goings of people at the bus station. She now knew the feeling...the abandon feeling a dog gets when a beloved family abandons it ...on a low strech of road. She felt abandon by her dominator and it wasn't the act of him leaving her that seem to upset her...it was the fact that she alloud him to affect her so much. The Huff of a bus tired enguin made her jump. But it would bring her attention now to the black limo. Heart racing pumping a horriable sonta in her chest as she moved forward* Hello ...my name is *She'd stop speaking and look towards were he was moving...she'd not breath as he opened the trunk*
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:52:29 AM)
*she'd not give up the laptop bag though she kept that close to her*
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:55:21 AM)
The driver set each piece of luggage carefully into the trunk before he shut it tight, moving back to the door and shutting that behind Joelle once the woman was inside. He would promptly slip back into place moments later, the limo slowly rolling forward and out into the streets of New Orleans. The back of the limo was typical of such vehicles, a mini bar stocked with a variety of little liquor bottles and other beverages. There was a mini TV which hung down from its usual hidding place in the limos roof, currently on a news channel that had a scrolling stock exchange bar at its bottom, the sound muted. The seats were black leather and well conditioned so that they were soft and shiny. Directly across from where Joelle sat was an older man, white, his hair a faded mix of blonde and silver. He wore a finely pressed grey suit that was ever so slightly out-dated but only noticable by those that followed fashion closely. His expression was nothing short of a poker face, showing no emotion, Gamel obviously well
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:57:35 AM)
[grr. it cut me off lol]
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 1:57:51 AM)
((LOL your that epic lol)
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 1:59:13 AM)
Gamel obviously well versed in such things being a Ventrue. "Good evening, Ms. Bellefontaine. I trust your journey wasn't terribly unpleasant?" His voice revealing a very subtle accent that was extremely difficult to place.
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:03:08 AM)
*She'd nod her head and speak in a gentle tone of a bella. but words didnt want to come out of her throat as easy as she thought. It was dry and stubbornly tight she thought to her self if she had made the right choice. Had she made a choice or were choices made for her. Whats to say her fate now. Her hand went to her side feeling the cool leather of the limos seat and she found comfort in the dark former animals hide* It was uneventful to say the least though there was a rather lovely rest stop i might return to one day....Had Mermaid pie
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:05:56 AM)
and i forgave the small child who kept kicking my chair *she'd smile slightly*
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:07:03 AM)
Gamels brows rose ever so slightly as if to feign an interest in her comment. "Good, Im glad to hear it." He paused to cross one leg over the other in a manly fashion as he leaned back into the comfortable leather seating across from Joelle. "So then, tell me what your regnant informed you of before you left? Anything?" It was unsurprising the Prince got right down to business, Joelle likely quite used to that sort of thing from her years of service to her domitor.
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:10:39 AM)
*and for that she was greatful she would sit stiffly in her seat folding her hands neatly upon her lap with the sort of just soness that would make the ruler weilding nun who taught her how to sit extremely proud* my Regnant told me vary little Sir, he said that this had something to do with my own safety
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:11:53 AM)
I am not in the business sir of asking questions of my Regnant ...was there something he was suppose to tell me? *she kept her curiousity in check for now. she was egar to see why of all people was she sitting with this Gamel Vedmundr*
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:12:40 AM)
"And what did he tell you of me, of where you were going, your responsibilities here and what they would be? Anything at all?" So the rascal had left the dirty business up to Gamel had he? Well that was fine by the Prince, he'd be able to fill her pretty little head with whatever he wanted to this way.
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:21:07 AM)
He spoke of you with reverence sir. That you are colleges from some time ago? *She looked at him and keep her smile gentle and mild in the back of her mind a voice screamed...dont let him see it...dont let him in...keep him out Joelle ...its the only way to survive ...dont let him know...dont let him know how little you know...how frigthend you are * He did not tell me of my responsibilities sir...i believe he did not do so because he always put faith in me knowing just what to do? I would imagion i would first take a look at your books *She'd gently wind her hand through a strand of hair from her pony tail smileing to the prince...but he would watch her smile fall rapidly as she pulled her hand away and apperently had taken some of her hair with her. Her composure would kick in quickly as she stuck the hand inside her laptop bag and said the only thing she knew to say in a sistuation like this....when sitting infront of a Shark...a wolf...a predaitor * I prepared a power point presistation sir about the sort

services i have to offer and i do have a copy of my resume for you and of course*speaking matter of factly and as if what she said was and should be second nature to all human beings* My career portfolio...it highlights my skills and a few work samples documentation of my education recent evaluations and awards and a few acknowledgement and of course some personal information
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:33:40 AM)
For the first time Gamel actually showed some kind of emotion, the corners of his lips curling upward into a smile. "Impressive, Ms. Bellefontaine. I look forward to hearing it soon. For now however, I think we should get some basics set aside between us." Pausing, the Prince looked out the window, one hand moving to point outside at the city as they drove through her streets which were lit up by old fashioned lamp posts. Music could be heard on almost every corner they passed, the sidewalks alive and bustling with people. "This city is My domain, Ms. Bellefontaine. As Prince it is My duty to keep it and its occupants, both mortal and immortal, safe. I take my duties very seriously. As such, you will be my personal assistant from this moment forward. You will do what I ask when I ask it, without question. You will keep any and all information that passes by your eyes and ears to yourself and to me Only. You are to take no orders from anyone else unless I have told you otherwise. Most importantly.." Again, the

{grr. lol}
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:34:33 AM)
((EPIIC AHHHH!!)
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:35:37 AM)
Again he paused, the mans steely gaze finding Joelle in the dimly lit back seat. "You will be courteous to -everyone-, even those undeserving. Why? Because you work for me, an extension of me, and thus you represent me. Do you understand?"
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:39:03 AM)
* as he guestured outside her head would turn and she would stare at the lights of the city and...the music she wanted to admire its beauty and give into the strange mystic charm that new orleans seemed to have over all who grace under its lights. But she couldnt ...at least not now. She would turn her head Gamel just in time to meet his steely gaze * of course sir...I am an extreme supporter in the idea of southern hospitality ...its how i was brought up to be polite and to always save face ....its a matter of self respect
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:41:01 AM)
in the words of my dear mother sir....when in doubte kill a foe with kindness
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:42:45 AM)
they wont know what to do with you when you dont bend to their rage *she'd nod her head pointedly ...in reality she found petty squables distracting from her duties and knew the rules of survival*
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:43:26 AM)
*duty was everything ((sorry hit enter)
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:47:00 AM)
"She was a good mother to teach you such things." Nodding briefly. "Have you much experience with a Camarilla court, Ms. Bellefontaine?" The Prince gave a nonchalant tap on the window that seperated them and the driver, his hand coming to rest in his lap, folding with the other. "I know your domitor wasn't fond of attending them much when I knew him but thats not to say things might have changed over these many...many years."
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:51:12 AM)
*She'd nod her head and smile*Thank you *she'd chuckle softly * He would much rather attend the opera than the Camerilla court but no he did attend regularly and i know enough about court to know that each court is different sir and nothing should be assumed. He allowed me to sit in with him a few times i am an extremely skilled note taker and my attention to details was something he prized greatly
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:53:20 AM)
but of politics i always wish to learn more Sir i am always egar for any wisdom you wish to pass unto me
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 2:55:01 AM)
I am not as involed as many of the other ghouls back home...i did not see it as my place and i know i could not completely understand the ways of the kindred ...i dont like to speak with out curtainty
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 2:58:30 AM)
"You will learn much, Ms. Bellefontaine and I expect you to learn it quickly. I have no time to take you aside and teach you though I would like you to ask whenever you are uncertain rather then a mistake being made." The limo pulled off the road now and up to a gated ten story building, the driver exchanging words with the security who opened the gate shortly thereafter. Gamel reached into his pocket and removed an Iphone, reaching across the distance between him and Joelle to hand it to the ghoul. "You will have this on your person at ALL times. I am the only one to have its number. Understood?"
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 3:03:38 AM)
*She would reach for the phone and look to camel as her hand closed around it bring it to her person* Of course sir ...rest assured i will keep this phone with the up most care and professionalism *she reisted the urge to look up at the building and a whimsical question faded into the back of her mind as she held onto the phone....was steve jobs a ghoul too? he must be with all that power. * what is this place sir?
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 3:06:33 AM)
"Your new home, Ms. Bellefontaine." The limo rolled to a stop outside the front entrance, Gamels driver exiting the limo to come and open the door for Joelle before he and the attendent outside the complex moved to fetch her belongings from the trunk. "I will have the car come pick you up tomorrow evening. You will accompany me to a few meetings I have. Otherwise you are free to get comfortable in your new home and explore the city which I recommend you doing."
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 3:10:23 AM)
*Shed nod her head and move to exist the limo* Ah that would be lovely thank you sir?*she looked at the vastness of the building she was thinking more along the lines of a place in the french quarter* am i able to have guest over?
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 3:11:56 AM)
"You may do what you wish in your new home. It is yours." Nodding to her as he poked his head toward the door of the limo so that she could see him. "Jason will show you up." Gamel motioned to the complexes doorman who now had all of Joelles things on a buggy and her new keys in his hand. "Good evening, Ms. Bellefontaine."
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 3:13:05 AM)
[Going to grab you the information about her new place thats been provided for her. One sec]
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 3:13:12 AM)
((is it like an apartment building or like just a big building lol! ty)
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 3:14:29 AM)
*she'd take another deep breath and look at the keys * Sir....what should i call you? i mean what do you request i call you? Prince Vedmundr...Master um Sir?
Gamel Vedmundr (Nov 24, 2010 3:19:10 AM)
"You may call me what everyone else does. Prince. Sir? Majesty. Whichever youre most comfortable with so long as it is respectful." Nodding to her, he then looked to his driver, the man shutting the door to the limo and thus ending their conversation. Jason, the doorman spoke up. "Right this way, Ms. Bellafontaine." His creole accent giving her last name quite a flare.
Joelle Bellefontaine (Nov 24, 2010 3:22:28 AM)
*She'd turn her head and Jason would get the first real smile. Her mother spoke with a creole twang and when under heavy stress Joelle was known to develope a much stronger twang* Merci
