*Dr. Crawford exits his second floor room in the Chantry and makes his way down to the Study, whistling the theme from Hostel*
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:24:39 AM)
Aiden sat in the same chair Nathaniel had last seen him. He was scribbling notes into his moleskin diary, writing things beneath a strange symbol he'd drawn. ( http://i2.squidoocdn.com/resize/squidoo_images/-1/lens1292572_1265999914legbas_veve_black_on_whit ) The young Tremere stopped, glancing up to notice the approaching Doctor with a small nod.
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:26:08 AM)
Evening Aiden *smiles casually and removes a tome from the wall and seats himself opposite the man* How are you finding our fair city?
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:27:40 AM)
"About the same as I'd left it," he placed down his pen. "I'm still in the process of getting settled, so it is regretable I was unable to present myself at Court."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:30:40 AM)
*nods* It's understandable... just don't take too long. It's a Malkavian on the throne and as I'm sure you can guess... they can be flippant. *Opens the tome and flips through a few pages* I'm here to help you get settled so if there's anything you need or questions you need to ask I'm here to help.
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:32:54 AM)
"I'd prefer to have it done as quickly as possible, but for the time-being, I'll have to have patience." Aiden picked up his pen again. "There was one question I wanted to ask.."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:33:16 AM)
*nods and closes the book, raising an eyebrow* Yes?
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:36:48 AM)
"I'm looking for participants for my study. It's a set of five questions.. which it matters very little if you are well-versed in the subject. Any information is useful to it, as I'm hoping to collect an interview from each Clan.."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:38:07 AM)
*a wide grin appears on Aiden's face* It's very interesting that you should suggest such. *gives a good ol' boy smile* I'm conducting similar studies myself *raises an eyebrow* Perhaps we can work together on this project.
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:40:35 AM)
"If you'd like, sure. What I am working to do first is to take a survey through this questionaire... to uncover what I can to the myths and origins to each of the Clan Founders. Research to start to draw conclusions from.."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:43:06 AM)
*nods approvingly* My research involves the differing qualities of blood based on clan and generation... I'm currently collecting blood samples from various primogen *gives an evil grin* by incorporating the questions with the blood samples... perhaps we could have a deeper understanding of the origins of said myths and why they differ... perhaps the different strains of blood mutated... perhaps it has to do with the people *shrugs getting ahead of himself* What are the questions?
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:47:59 AM)
"I'd interested in the Theological applications.." he began, "They are leading questions. First, what do you know of your Clan Founder? What traits have been passed down through the Generations? What do you know of the Second City and What of Caine? Then I tend to take the last one as a leading question.. depending on the answers I receive."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:53:01 AM)
*ponders for a long moment apparently staring at the tome then raises his head* I think it's a fine idea... however convincing a primogen to reveal information such as traits passed down to them could get a little icky... *raises an eyebrow* You'd likely need something to bargain with in exchange for the information. *ponders* I'm currently seeking audience with a Nosferatu who is unrecognised by the city... unknown by the courth except for myself and the Ventrue Primogen who now owes me a boon for the information. *glances at Aiden* I could likely get your questions answered by both the Ventrue and Nosferatu... possibly the Toreador as well *shrugs* So you mentioned you have another haven in mind.... have you spoken with the Regent or the Primogen in regards to your living arrangements?
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:55:53 AM)
"If you could try to get those questions answered by any of them, that would be excelent. I have already gained some information from Madeleine, the Toreador... Of course, in exchange, I'm willing to offer a trivial boon. Anyone that feels that such a boon is insufficient, I'd be willing to pay more if they can verify their information."
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 7:56:17 AM)
"I haven't spoken to either them regarding my living arrangements yet."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 7:58:38 AM)
*Nods* When I first came to New Orleans, Mensonge helped me set up the security of my haven... and Anastasia suggest and I demited to her wisdom that maintaining the personal haven would be good for meeting other kindred or bring home food *chuckles* as you obviously can't bring them here... however the security of the Chantry surpasses nearly anything you can think of... *furrows his brows* I can help you set up your other place but I would suggest keeping anything you dont want a chance of anyone getting ahold of... leave here.
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 8:01:30 AM)
"I'll keep it in mind. There is little I have of true value that I don't keep on my personal effects.. Although, back to the study, would you have any portents of information that you know of Caine? Since it's safe to say that I am familiar with our Founder."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 8:04:05 AM)
It is my belief that Cain either had all the disciplines now in use today or he had such strong blood that it was generic enough to mutate to his will. *ponders* As the generations passed newer kindred became more specialized as their blood was weaker *furrows borws* I have a meeting I must to attend to *stands up* However, I am unsure of what rituals are known to you *shrugs* but I could ensure that no sunlight ever reaches your haven and that all entrances to your haven will repel if not physically damage mortals. I must go now but keep that in mind if you want some assistance.
Aiden Pierce (Aug 8, 2011 8:04:57 AM)
"I also know how to repel sunlight," he dipped his head in a nod to Nathaniel. "I will make my rituals known to others, so they might learn from them. Thank you."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 8:05:36 AM)
*Nods to Aiden, places the book back on the shelf and heads outside to his bike* Until next time Aiden. *smiles as he leaves*
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Aug 8, 2011 8:05:55 AM)
(nice RP... i've gotta update my rituals as well... that list on the forum is a bit outdated... make sure you post there too ttyl)
