*quietly sitting within the Garden is a man of average height and weight, at least for his apparent age in the 40s. he clearly of arabic heritage and he holds a set of prayer beads in his right hand that is constantly manipulated. within this establishment he wears a nice tailored suit with shoes to match.* (lol, i told the Toreador that it was 15 minutes earlier today and now it's changed again lol)

*Ana walks in after being let in by Key the local Malkavian ghoul that seemed to be at the Cake House all the time,she gave him a slight nod and directed Ana towards the Garden room,givng Key a nod of her head she headed to the Garden room once there she saw a gentleman of Arabic decent,giving him a polite nod of her head to him*Good evening..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 6:42:08 PM)
*as he's addressed his head turns to note the presence of a female, which causes him to stand up with a soft smile and offer her a polite bow* Good evening indeed. I was begining to think that Elysia was not the social Mecca it should be in the west. Meeting so few Kindred spirits among the halls.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 6:49:12 PM)
*When he looked at her she wore a black pants suit,accented with a blue silk scarf around her neck,her hair was pulled into a bun held up with two wooden chopsticks,she also wore black gloves on her hands*I assure you it usually is not many seem to frequent the Calypso which is a club*slight shake of her head*they say it is much more *slight pause*entertianing...I frequent neither..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 6:52:08 PM)
*nods* I'm too old to be going to clubs. No need to have them think I'm some dirty old man. I prefer the quiet solace of this garden. Very well done. I might have to inquire about the Gardener to perhaps work on my garden. Oh...forgive me. I am Naji.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 6:57:08 PM)
*she gave a slight nod of her head*I just prefer not to go unless iam asked to attened for a meeting,which is rare thankfully*she glanced at the garden then looked back to him*It is lovely,but I prefer another location*she was just about to ask who he was but he beat her to it*Nice to meet you Mr.Naji......Anastasia*no she did not extend her hand*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 6:59:05 PM)
No, Mr. It is not a surname. Simply Naji. A pleasure to meet you Lady Anastasia. So, what location do you prefer? Is it another Elysia or something a little less than amiable to our special needs.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:00:57 PM)
*nodding her head*Very well....The location I speak of is not accesible to any but certain people...

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:01:49 PM)
Ahh...I see a family location. *nods* Understandable. So what brings you to Elysia then?

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:04:50 PM)
*nodding her head once again*Indeed...Honestly I was seeking out the Prince but she is not around,which is understandable...May I inquire what Clan you are affliated with?

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:07:55 PM)
Oh..she may be about. She seems to come and go like the wind. Do you normally inquire about such things? Is court ettiquette here in the west so different that such a querry isn't considered uncouth?

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:10:53 PM)
*nods*Yes indeed she does seem to do this...Actually yes i do,court has not been called for sometime..It is in a bit of disarray currently,therefore if you consider it uncouth then so be it..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:15:02 PM)
*softly chuckles* So I hear. Well, don't let my presence keep you. If you have better things to do than associate with strangers like myself. I understand. With the local court being in such disarray. An acknowledge member of society is no doubt too busy to deal with the likes of me.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:20:34 PM)
I assure you sir you are not keeping me. Currently I have nothing to accomplish at this time. Iam never to busy to deal with future Kindred within the city..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:22:42 PM)
Oh...well in that case. Would you prefer to sit down while we speak or do you enjoy standing and talking?

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:24:22 PM)
*seh glanced at one of the chairs in the room,and without a word took a seat,laying her hands on her lap,crossing her ankles*At this time i have no issues with chatting with you,howerver I do not know what we shall speak about?

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:28:20 PM)
*once she sat he followed suit in a nearby chair as well, all the while manipulating his prayer beads* Surely we could discuss the disarray of court. I understand that the council has had a bit of high turn around as of late. Perhaps you could tell me which seats have been filled and which are vacant. Although, I have met the Prince and the local Sheriff. So those two need not be accounted for.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:37:35 PM)
*looking at him*The Sheriff did not inform you of the seats which are not filled...Intresting..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:38:09 PM)
No...he was more interested in blackmailing me.

Anastasia Montrose (Oct 3, 2011 7:38:36 PM)
*she gave him a curious look*Do I dare ask as to why?

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:39:29 PM)
He believes that the Prince placed me under his accounting. As such he wanted me to teach him something in order to get a good reference.

*she smirked a bit*Intresting *slight shake of her head*Iam certain the Prince would not put you under accounting of the Sheirff unless you were of the same Clan,and thereofre since the Prince did not put you under accounting to the Sheriff that means you are not of his clan...But,I do find it intresting that the Sheriff thought the Prince meant him..

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 7:50:39 PM)
*nods* The Prince's choice of words no doubt. From calling him a Warlock and then mentioning that I would be under the Witch's accounting. That should tell you what you were interested, I would think. *he smiles softly*

rgaw OOC (Oct 3, 2011 7:51:53 PM)

rgaw OOC (Oct 3, 2011 7:58:30 PM)
One would think,I do agree with you..But,apparently not...Now then as for what seats are missing within the council...Nosferatue,Tremere(i think),Ventrue,Malkavian..There currently is a Scourge an Assamite I believe who is part of the Camarilla,Senechaul is the Brujah Elder Sonja Reinhart,currently no Deputies either...I believe that sums up the court questions.

Well that is good at least. We don't want any more trouble. Bad enough when members of court fight amongst themselves within Elysia breaking the rules in the process.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 10:41:00 PM)
*After the incident the other night in Calypso Josh had been busy making the rounds of the various Elysia and personally checking the security he had in place. He had also contacted his security man and put him to work on the upgrades that had become obvious after the event. Since he was in a bit more intense work mode this evening he had left his suit behind and was clad in Dockers and a button down. He of course preferred his jeans but his Primogen had made it clear such attire was not appropriate for one in his position.*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 10:42:05 PM)
*tonight a 40ish arab male has been sitting quietly within the garden room most of this evening. sure there has been the occasional visitor, but he's remained after each left. he wears a modest tailored suit with shoes to match. in his right hand was a set of prayer beads that he constantly manipulated. height and weight average for a man of his apparent age*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 10:44:18 PM)
*After checking in with the guards Josh made his rounds and passed the garden room. He noted the man of course and gave him the once over as he was not familiar but well he would hope the security people were better than that otherwise he had problems.* Good evening *the dark haired and very pale skinny man offered a polite enough smile.*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 10:46:15 PM)
*as the entrant to the garden addressed him, he turned to look getting up in the process, offer a soft smile and a gentle nod of the head* Good evening. *his accent was apparent, but it wasn't thick like someone just off the boat and his voice sounded almost like Vincent Price*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 10:48:33 PM)
Never mind me just making some rounds *he offered another smile something that seemed to come easy to him.* My name is Joshua Perdrew I happen to be the current Keeper *he extended his hand to the other gentleman.*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 10:51:49 PM)
*he smiles* Ahh...yes. I heard about you. It is a pleasure to meet you, Keeper Perdrew. *he notes the hand* Forgive me, but shaking my hand is not very pleasant for many. I am Naji. Not Mr. Naji as some seem to think, it is not a surname. Simply Naji. Although I typically introduce myself as Naji ibn Petra, but people seem to think that Petra is my surname when in fact it is my Sire's name. *softly chuckles*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 10:55:43 PM)
Nice to meet you Naji *Josh said and pulled his hand back without comment.* And yes it is probably best if I do not use the rest of your name because I am sure I will butcher it beyond recognition. *There still remained pleasant smile on Josh’s face it was a gesture that seemed to come to him easy enough. Josh also did not seem to be as uptight as one would normally associate someone in his position.* And Josh is fine as a way to address me.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:00:10 PM)
Fine perhaps, but not proper. I'm a bit old fashioned in that regard. Though, if you are busy, don't let me keep you. However, if you would like some company while you work. I would be happy to do so. As I have little else to do this evening.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:03:38 PM)
Suit yourself *he smiled* and you are not alone in that opinion. And I am about done to be honest I am more of a bureaucrat than anything else not to put a damper on a position such as mine.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:04:48 PM)
And why is that? You don't seem all that stuffy to be a bureaucrat.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:08:26 PM)
*He settled into a seat* all a matter of keeping things set up and making sure someone looks over them really. So I would not know how else to describe it other than being a bureaucrat. *He then crossed his leg* and by the by I do not recall having run across you before.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:11:00 PM)
*nods after he sits he follows suit* For good reason. I've only recently arrived. I've also had the privelage of meeting the Prince already. She has decided to place me under the accounting of one of my kinsmen. You and the Sheriff being the only other officers of the court whom I've met so far. Although I have met a handful of the other Kindred in the city. Things seem rather quiet.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:14:18 PM)
Population is kind of low around here and thus part of how I ended up here and how someone as young as me ended up in the position I have *he smiled a bit* And if I may be so bold what Clan are you? I am sure you have already heard mine but in case not I am of the Toreador.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:17:45 PM)
*he softly chuckles* My my..it seems everyone insists on asking that question here. The west has really become lax on what is and what is not polite it seems. And I would have thought an Artisan would be a bit more respectable. *he takes in a breathe and sighs* If you must know. *he drops his mask, allowing him to see the Nosferatu for what he really is--see profile*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:19:55 PM)
Well I am a bit rough around the edges for my line *of course he looked a bit shocked when the mask came down but unlike one would expect of many Roses Josh did not seem horrified.* And ah I see *he smiled a bit again* and to be honest unless I am out of the loop again you are the only one of your line here that I am currently aware of.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:23:14 PM)
I'm not the only one. I'm simply the most social. I'm very different than the Hunters you are used to, I assure you. *the suit hasn't changed all that much and he still manipulates the prayer beads with his right* The others prefer their own company for the most part. Which for the most part, I'm alright with. Especially the beastial members. *he sighs at the mention of them*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:24:45 PM)
Ah well I honestly have not seen or heard tell of another of your line in town. There was one lady around for a while I think she was a Samedi but I believe she has left town as well.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:25:29 PM)
*tilts his head* Samedi? That name is unfamiliar to me.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:26:24 PM)
Mmmm *he could see him ponder* was to me as well till I saw her. How to put this without being offensive? She looked sort of like your line but had more of a decaying corpse way about her.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:29:02 PM)
*softly chuckles* Uhm... perhaps you haven't noticed. But I have that problem and I am not a Samedi. I am a Mutasharid...what you would call Nosferatu. Are you sure she just wasn't a Nosferatu like myself?

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:29:57 PM)
I do not see any falling maggots or such uh *he coughed* she looked how can I say like fresh road kill in mid July.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:30:03 PM)
And smelled the same

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:31:47 PM)
Interesting. And no, no falling maggots. I'm not infested like some of our line. However, my flesh tends to fall on occasion. Typically as a result of a violent blow. But that is not always the case.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:32:27 PM)
(by chance is there a fountain in the garden?)

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:33:42 PM)
Ah I see *again Josh seemed to deal relatively well with Naji's appearance.* she introduced herself as Samedi though but I am not really an expert. [Unless player is having a brain fart on scene recollection that is how she introduced herself.....and am not sure but if you want a fountain then there is one.]

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:36:54 PM)
*nods* I'll have to inquire about that. A lost bloodline to the lineage perhaps. *he thought to himself a bit, shifting slightly in his seat. he would glance then to the fountain within the garden and it's reflective surface, oddly enough his reflection wasn't there* Though you are certain she has left? Did she have any known hangouts and if I may inquire a name to go with her?

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:39:08 PM)
I am not sure she has left but it has been a while since I have heard tell of her. As far as hangouts go she was introduced by the former Tremere Primogen on the very night I did my presentation as well. So forgive me if I got some details wrong it was a busy evening for me.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:39:52 PM)
*He glanced at the pool as well but did nto seem to notice the lack of reflection it seemed it was a polite way of offering himself some respite from the appearance of the creature he was conversing with.*

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:41:37 PM)
*nods* Quite alright. *when he glances away he would resume his mask to ease the Rose* So, have you any thought to who will succeed you as Keeper? It's a very thankless job I know. But an important one none-the-less.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:43:59 PM)
Well I hope I am not getting succeeded too soon *he said looking back.* But truth be known no one has seemed able to hold onto the job for long they screw up one way or another and then complain a lot. I had a small screw up myself but it taught some lessons and I do not think there are any imminent plans to fire me.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:45:25 PM)
Well you did imply that you aren't happy with the position and would rather be in a different position. One that would suit your beaurcratic tendencies...Primogen perhaps.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:47:28 PM)
Ah well I did not mean to imply that I actually am having a bit of fun and learning a lot. *He smiled again simpler now that his companion's mask was back up* I just happen to view most things as a game of one sort or another

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:49:25 PM)
Well that's good. You seem rather competant. If a bit wet behind the ears. *he smiled softly*

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:51:57 PM)
Well yes that is as good an explanation as any I suppose. But truth be known I think the issue many run into is the failure to ask for help. *He shrugged* all the same I should probably get going. It has been nice meeting and conversing with you this eve.

Naji ibn Petra (Oct 3, 2011 11:52:54 PM)
*nods* That's a common problem for many. No matter their position. And it was a pleasure to meet you Keeper Perdrew. Peace be with you.

Josh Perdrew (Oct 3, 2011 11:55:44 PM)
The same to you Naji *with that he got to his feet and turned to depart. Josh did not seem to be religous but he had a serene manner about him like someone who genuinely enjoyed his unlife*
