Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 8:50:10 PM)
*The farm was just outside the city, far enough for him to have afew acres of land, on which everything looked bright and new, or at least recently fixed up. Deacon was out back, looking over a batch of puppies, four in total, two of which had collars on them. He was dressed in jeans and a tshirt, covered with abit of muddy paw prints.*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 8:54:42 PM)
*Naji approached the farm from the road, he had worn a traditional long shirt this evening and of course was "masked" as the 40ish arab male. footwear, he didn't wear the Italian loafers, just simple sandals. He called out..* 'Allo?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 8:56:47 PM)
*He heard a deep bark, and from the porch trotted a large cane corso male. It studied Naji as Deacon made his way to the gate and opened it slowly* Evening Naji, whats up
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 8:58:04 PM)
I thought I'd take you up on your offer to see your farm and the animals. How are you Deacon?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:04:13 PM)
Doing well enough.... Easy Wyatt, *He spoke to the dog, and motioned to him, the large black dog with a faint blue sheen on the fur trotted over and stood beside Deacon* Lets go check out the rest of the farm then, theres only afew animals right now, Wyatts girl and his pups, and three horses, two mares and a stallion
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:05:30 PM)
He doesn't seem to happy with me. *as he makes his way further in* So, how much land do you think you have here?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:07:48 PM)
He is a guard dog, I trained him to defend the property. *He chuckled* He doesnt like anyone but me and my ghouls. *He motioned for him to follow through the gate. He had two sections in the yard, the largest for the horses, which were in their stable with his ghoul getting their nightly brush down* Afew acres
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:10:51 PM)
*he followed through, he smiled at the guard dog* Eventually, I'll be able to speak to animals. *he takes in a breathe and sighs* But we all have priorities. Do you think just a few acres will be enough for all the animals?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:12:30 PM)
for three horses and afew permanent pooch residents... should be more than enough... I mean my next neighboor is about a mile away... its open land between here and there if needs be to take the horses out to stretch some more
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:13:44 PM)
*nods* I thought you had intended on increasing the numbers. Has Wyatt ever seen one of my family before?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:15:58 PM)
Wyatt has not seen much more than me, or the one I got him from for our kinds. *He reached down petting Wyatt* An yes, there will be about four to five permanent dog residents. The horse numbers is what im keeping it at though
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:17:33 PM)
*nods* How do you think he will react to seen the true face of one like me?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:18:53 PM)
I dont know, but he is far braver than the other dogs thats for sure... An if one of them saw you, Id be shovelling shit and piss for an hour. *He chuckled*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:20:48 PM)
*softly chuckles* I've had to deal with some interesting animals already. Some of which left me alone once my visage was apparent. Where as some didn't care cause they only saw food.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:24:26 PM)
Stay away from the gators... they preffer their meat rotting, and I dont know about you personally but I have seen some of your ilk. *He walked over to the pen with the female dog and the pups, leaning over and looking down at the five of them*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:26:28 PM)
*nods* They aren't the only ones. However those knew better than to come after me because of their handler. *he would approach the pen as well, which no doubt made the female if she wasn't ghouled nervous espacially the pups* It was the Pirahna I had issues with. It's curious how they even got them into this place.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:29:09 PM)
Who the hell handles pirahna. *He chuckled and leaned down, calming the animals gently, meeting their eyes each at a time. Wyatt hopped the high fencing and helped*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:30:57 PM)
Not I. But they sure did like taking a piece of me. I had to slap several away. One of my long shirts is littered with tiny bite holes because of them. Little bastards.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:33:46 PM)
*He chuckled* I need to work on my pain endurance here soon myself... that just reminded me. *He chuckled* Work on my fortitude. *He petted one of the puppies that was climbing on its mother*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:36:22 PM)
I can't help you with that. Though I do intend on improving my current skills as well as broadening them a little as well. *he takes in a breathe and sighs* You have a nice place out here. I expect you often sleep out here somewhere.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:38:46 PM)
Sometimes yes... Can sleep anywhere I want really out here, hehe. *He grinned* Oh trust me I know how I intend to do it... Just dont particularly look forward to poking myself with red hot objects to do it. *He shook his head* Its good though to broaden ones skill set... One of these days I hope to learn to hide myself like your kind can.... I used to be a scout so stealth isnt an issue, but supernatural stealth would be better, heh.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:41:37 PM)
*nods* It does have it's benefits. It's the first thing I intend on improving. The other being my senses. I never thought about that until I got here. The Wah'Sheen back home typically live out in the desert. So, it's nice to see some things stay the same among your family. *he smiles softly*
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:43:25 PM)
The what.... *He had abit more of that old western drawl when he sounded confused. Scratching his chin*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:44:16 PM)
Sorry, that's the arabic name for your family. I have a tendency to refer to the families by the names I know them as. Rather than the western names.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:45:45 PM)
Gangrel... I don't know much besides english, and spanish. *He chuckled lightly* Increasing ones senses, probably not a bad idea... I should consider that sometime in the future as well
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:48:23 PM)
*nods* I know a few languages. Mostly scholarly ones of course. And yes, Gangrel. I prefer the name Wah'sheen. Though in general I prefer the Arabic names over the Western ones. They make more sense.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:50:24 PM)
To you of course they do, thats what you were taught. Just as what I was taught make more sense to me. *He picked up one of the pups by the scruff and cradled it, rubbing its tummy and letting it gnaw on his fingers*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:52:09 PM)
*nods* Fair enough. This is a beautiful piece of land and your animals seem very well behaved despite my undue influence upon some of them.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:53:54 PM)
Its only due to my own presence, and Wyatts calming them, its not an easily trained out thing from them. Thank you though for the compliment... I am not done with it even... I plan to make it look nicer... abit like what I always dreamed of owning when I was still mortal actually.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:55:20 PM)
*nods* Well if you want to give the dogs some more room to run. I have several acres worth of land with my Vineyard. Lot's of ins and outs for them to run through.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:58:30 PM)
Might bring Wyatt out there some time, and more of them when I get the other breed of guard dog I plan to get.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 9:58:44 PM)
Which other breed?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 9:59:45 PM)
I think I plan to get a Rottweiler as well... They are a good breed of dog, extremely loyal. Dangerous if mishandled, but if properly balanced in their training an amazing breed.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:01:10 PM)
Well just about any animal if mishandled can be dangerous. At least among larger animals. For example, there was a story I heard about. A family who had bought a boa constrictor didn't properly pen it. It got out and killed their child.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:02:14 PM)
Well, yes... Im talking about another kind of dangerous, I am talking about an animal that doesnt run just on instinct, but will intentionally kill people just because they are there
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:03:10 PM)
*nods* Like a venomous snake that's cornered. Once upon a time Asps were like that.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:06:02 PM)
Cottonmouths or more often called water moccasins you find here in the wilds are like that... Most snakes only attack if cornered, and only til they can escape. But the water moccasin will attack things until they are dead, even if it has a path to freedom
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:07:17 PM)
*nods* Good thing I'm already dead. *softly chuckles* So, you enjoy your independence?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:08:30 PM)
I feel no need to join with the Camarilla, especially not with the treatment directed my way by the sheriff and scourge.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:08:52 PM)
*tilts his head* How has the Scourge treated you?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:10:04 PM)
They treat me as a dog... They come to me for help with tracking, and instead of asking for my aide, they tell me I should feel honored to do anything I can to help them, and just expect me to roll over for them... I refused
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:11:12 PM)
That's not surprising from the Sheriff. Though it is from the Scourge. Interesting. *he takes in a breathe and sighs again* Things are likely going to change again anyway.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:13:04 PM)
Well when the city is run by an insane person... Its boud to happen one way or another, by anothers hand or by their own
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:13:25 PM)
bound*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:17:06 PM)
There is nothing wrong with a moon child. Aside from the means with which she acquired her position. They have a keen insight that we can't understand. That scares many. However it doesn't bother me. After living in a city with a Prince that has no lineage. It can't be any worse.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:21:35 PM)
It doesn't scare me, but the fact remains, they can make unpredictable changes and moves, and there is no doubt that they are still insane. Said insanity might give them, or bbe caused by their insight. But it does have its affects, and will cause changes
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:23:40 PM)
Only when pressured do they become unpredicatable. As long as you treat them with the respect you would want in turn. They make excellent allies. *he takes in a breathe and sighs* Unfortunately, this one is being pressured. And they don't realize the folly of their actions.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:28:23 PM)
When a former prince dies under suspicious circumstance, and she comes in from nowhere, and disrupts the order of things. Its not hard to see why they pressure.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:30:03 PM)
Personally I do not care one way or another who reigns if they leave me alone... Though I think she could have found more competent a sheriff at the very least
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:31:09 PM)
They pressure her because they don't like how she came into power. The fools didn't stand up when she came to power. And now they are backtracking in the hopes of fixing their mistake. The problem is, they are only making things worse. Though you are most assuredly right about the Sheriff. He's a fool and has little to no interest in actually doing his job.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:33:43 PM)
I am happy for the time to live out the dreams of my youth, sans the kids and a wife. *He chuckles setting the puppy down. Turning and leaning on the fence, he rolled the spur he wore on one of the lower rungs of it(
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:37:30 PM)
Ensha Allah, things will not spill over. But with what the powers that be are doing. I'm afraid it's only going to get worse. They are going to bring unwanted attention. And that will put all of us at risk. It may be wise for you to stick to your farm for a while.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:39:15 PM)
I fear going nowhere. I am if nothing else a survivor. Hehe. I will aide my friends as they need it and ask for such.

Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:44:25 PM)
*he takes in a breathe and sighs* You don't understand. It's not about fear. Though it is about survival. As is always the case. Things will get worse before they get better. And any of your "friends" that are on the inside will be in the firing zone. It will be better if you stay out and perhaps even give shelter to your friends. I doubt the court would bother looking for you which would keep them safe in the process.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:51:16 PM)
Unfortunate for the friend who would get caught in it, she would never hide... Currently they are on abit of a war path after one who wronged them severly.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:55:13 PM)
*nods* I'm going to try my best to bring about a more diplomatic solution. But I'm afraid the sides are set in their desires currently. They aren't looking at the big picture. Only looking to their own selfish interests. Ensha Allah, I'll be able to gather the necessary information I need to give me the leverage necessary to get everyone to see things clearly. Though, I don't know if that will be enough.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 10:56:51 PM)
The question is, which side are you taking in all of this? *He pushed away from the fence and starts towards the stables for the horses. Whistling and Wyatt leapt the fence and fell in at Deacon's side*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:58:20 PM)
I'm taking the side of the community. Both Kindred and the Children of Seth. Because that needs to be preserved more than foolish pride.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 10:59:39 PM)
*follows Deacon toward the stables*
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 11:06:19 PM)
That doesnt tell me much my friend really as to what your goals are, but the mystique I suppose works. *He peeked inside, his ghoul johnny was brushing down one of the mares. He reached in patting the stallion on the nose*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 11:09:44 PM)
My intent is to preserve the peace and create a stability that apparently hasn't existed since the last power shift. I don't care who is in charge as long as peace and stability reigns.
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 11:11:03 PM)
Remember what I said about my former home and who runs things there? Would you like to know how long he's been in control?
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 11:11:36 PM)
How long has he been in power? *He arched a brow faintly*
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 11:14:19 PM)
Several centuries now. It's astounding that the various families have not tried to depose him. Given his lack of lineage. However he has managed to keep the peace and stability of the city for longer than many of us have been around.
Deacon McCarthy (Nov 8, 2011 11:20:13 PM)
(and unfortunately man, this is the point i gotta hop off for abit)
Naji ibn Petra (Nov 8, 2011 11:20:32 PM)
