Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 8:50:24 PM)
: His cellphone rang a little after dusk. He was just getting up and mobile, tonight he suffered from another vision of his horrible demise. Shaken by it, he did his best to mask the sound in his voice. Maybe it was Shariq with work, or Mikhail calling to torment him, hell it could have even been his sire if she still had his number. However, it was a fourth party. Hearing the tremere's voice he put a face to it immediately. They were to meet, she allowed him to pick the location. Nearly an hour later he was sitting in a private booth at the Fair Grounds watching the horses get set to run the fourth race of the night.:

Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:00:17 PM)
*She had called Nero and set up a meeting the place was of his choice she had no reason to fear him and honestly she wasnt worried about it,killing him would be nothing and he would not be missed if he tried anything which was unlikely anyway..She drove to the Track ,parked and walked in reading the signs posted on the walls as to how to get to where he said he would be once there she opened the door didnt bother knocking why was her theory..As she walked in...she was wearing a black pants suit her hair up into a neat bun held up with two wooden chopsticks,along with a blue silk scarf around her neck*
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:06:54 PM)
: He was dressed elegant as ever. His hair sat parted at the widows peak, dark chocolate locks falling to either side of his face as he stared forward. As the door opened he rose slowly and fixed his navy blue pinstripe suit. A smile lingered upon his features as he stood at his seat and motioned to one of the three other free chairs next to his: "Anastasia. Thank you for joining me. You look wonderful, did you find here easy enough, I hope?" :It was all said through a charming smile. When she sat down he fixed his suit to be comfortable. A waiter entered shortly after her and took their order, Nero got himself a Jack and Coke, the waiter waited on Ana then left quickly after she placed her order or declined: " I would like to thank you for meeting with me. Most folks don't find must trust in my kind. " :He said all his words while looking over the program for the evening.: "Do you get to the track often?"
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:14:18 PM)
*When he stood up she gave him a polite nod of her head,and walked to one of the offered seats chooseing not to sit to close to him*It was I that called you,Mr.Gaspare not the other way around but fair enough*then sat down smoothing out her suit as she did so,then laying her gloved hands on her lap..when the waiter came in she lifted her hand and shook her head when he asked to take her order when the waiter left she laid her hand back on her lap* As i said,I askedd to meet with you not the other way around. And yes most do not trust your kind,then again the same coudl be said about myself as well*slight smirk* No,I do not*said as she looked out the window finally,finding no intrest in such things she returned her attentoin back to him*
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:14:59 PM)
Now then*straight to business*What has anyone told you about Mr.poe,iam certain since you have been around Mr.Myrick quite often he has told you quite a bit,yes?
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:21:16 PM)
: He danced around the topic, it wasn't that he cared to waste her time, there was a drink headed back and he didn't wish to talk out of turn. Rules and all. : "That's a shame, where most find the office a place to think, I find any form of gambling therapeutic. Sort of settles my nerves and helps with insight into things. Do you play chess? Rosetta insisted I learn the game, said the whole world could be defined by chess, everyone was a piece just mattered how you chose to define yourself. " :He leveled his chocolate eyes at her at that point: "How do you see yourself Anastasia? Pawn? Rook? Knight, or King?" :His eyes searched her form as the door opened and the waiter handed his drink over and thanked him for the tip. Nero got back on track after the door closed: "I can tell you what I learned from my own encounter. If you told me he was the devil I wouldn't doubt it, as cunning and clever as my sire and perhaps even worse. I've no care for my own people. Family can be just as troublesome and deadly anyone
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:21:25 PM)
Sometimes even more when they know your weaknesses. "
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:30:13 PM)
*she sat and listend to him ramble on about how he thought gambling was theaurputic or however he wished to see it,she on the other hand did not*No,I do not play chess...in a sense she was and is right for we are all pawns to the Elders it just depends on how we choose to be will be sheep or will we be wolves to the pawns.*slight shake of her head*As for what I conisider myself,I do not know never thought about it nor do I honestly care...*she fell silent when the waiter came in then resumed her talkign whenhe left* We are all devils,Mr.Gaspare in our own way dont forget that*smirking*...Anyone can figure out one's weakness if you watch them long enough....Now then back to the question...
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:36:16 PM)
(would it be prep + empathy to notice someones body language?)
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:38:57 PM)
(sure)
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:39:00 PM)
"I think fate is the only piece on the board I need worry about contending with. The how and when don't trouble me, at this point it's the who. " :As she inquired again, Nero's cellphone buzzed and he excused himself to read a text message: "It seems Mr. Myrick wishes for me to meet with someone. Aren't I the bell of the ball these days?" :Taking a sip from his drink he swallowed it down and began to speak: "No one has really told me anything of his antics, just that he isn't to be trusted. He's deceitful, has some holdings down by the docks and is a hell of a card player, metaphorically speaking of course. I don't have any idea to what you were eluding to the other night, though I must say I am curious as to what you were implying. " :The race was going on but Nero was more
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:39:01 PM)
interested in what was going on in the booth. He watched her intently to see if he could get any sense from her body language. :

"Is it to brash to assume he's done something to offend you?"
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:39:14 PM)
(went with subterfuge. doesn't matter really)
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:47:29 PM)
*she watched him her eyes never diverting to look out the window as he had done several times* Indeed*she fell silent when his phone went off* Very well I shall not keep you long then...As for your other family member becareful and leary of his actions as you would with anyone but there are those that you should decided to be more caustious of than others.*Her body language gave nothing away she seemed relaxed or as much as a Tremere would be* Personally no he has not but to many others yes he has,be aware of that..Since you and Mr.Myrick aare so close perhaps you should speak to him more about it...
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 9:52:56 PM)
:Taking another sip of his drink he listened to what she had to say. Placing the drink down upon the seat between them, he leaned toward her, his left elbow propped on the back of his chair. : "Oh don't worry about my time, what I have I wouldn't enjoy spending any other way. Still I must say I do find it interesting that Mikhail seems to be -your- bogeyman. Everyone knows things but everyone seems afraid to talk about him and his misgivings like something awful will happen. I'll try Mister Myrick again, however, if he's as tough a nut to crack as you I might as well start betting on the long shots. " :He returned to sitting naturally in the seat, procuring a cigarette from his suit he took a pull after lighting it.: "What if I said I could help minimize him. Would that interest anyone in this city?"
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 9:59:17 PM)
*she did not move when he leaned closer to her for he was far enough away to not disturber her personal bubble*I assure you Mr.Gaspare he is not my boogyman*smirking* And no information is free,Ms.Gaspare surely you are aware of that?
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:03:55 PM)
:Taking a drag from the cigarette he nodded as a laugh slithered from his lips: "Yup, a tough nut to crack. " :Giving her a sideways look he felt the itch to inquire: "Let's take a step back for a second. I'm curious, how did 'this' all happen to you? Call me curious. I wager my beginnings aren't as interesting as yours. " : He waited to see if she'd offer anything up.: "Your 'majesty' seems to hold him in high regards, then again all things considered she probably would love a man like that. No heart and all decadence."
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 10:09:31 PM)
*she smirked at him*That,is none of your concern what is or seems to be is Mr.Poe..We are here to speak about him not ourselves..Unless i was mistaken,if this is the case you will have to excuse me..*she did not stand or make any indication that she was going to stand via body language but her words were clear enough that she would leave*I assure you she does not hold him in high reguards..I believe she holds the dolls in higher reguard than those of her own city...
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:15:07 PM)
"Please, excuse me. I'm always just curious about those who keep my company. I only inquire about him because I've come to find that my 'people' are more a danger then anyone else. Supposedly, it turned gruesome for us sometime before the turn of the century. I wouldn't know, I was taking a bit of a nap in Chicago. He thinks he's smarter then everyone, and he just might be. That doesn't mean an upstart can't teach the instructor something. " :He glanced back over towards her the cigarette nearly finished dangled from his lower lip: "Yes she had some interest with a doll the evening I met her, it was of some red headed I saw X with on the docks, when I inquired lips seemed to seal, something about a sabbat that needed dealing with. Now why would the prince keep a doll of a sabbat I wonder? You see its lies like those that make me curious. " :Picking up the program he returned his eyes to the 5th race readying:
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 10:24:46 PM)
*seh gave a slight nod of her head*Forgiven...Mr.Poe thinks he is smarter than many of us,but some of us are not lost on what he does and does not do.*she smirekd a bit*A red headed doll you say,she was no Sabbat contrary to what theothers may have thought..she used to be the Toreador Primogen Ms.DeCuir but she left several weeks ago..Why,no one seems to know but she was no Sabbat..*slight shake of her head*
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:30:08 PM)
:Striking his lighter again he light another smoke and spoke with a cloud pouring from his lips on each word: "Hmm, case of mistaken identity perhaps. The first day I made it to New Orleans I saw her arguing with Xavier, I was looking for an associate to help me get acquainted to the Big Easy, instead I interrupted their discussion." :Scratching his head he remembered the details as if it were only a few hours ago: "She said, well screamed actually, the name Durant, which is what I thought was her name till of course I met Madaleine at X's place. Was she a friend of yours?" :Missing person? It was an interesting tidbit but only if it had some angle attached to it. Still a missing primogen with a doll in her image could help: "Maybe I could try and find Ms. DeCuir. "
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 10:33:51 PM)
*noddig her head*I have no idea about the shouting match between Ms.DeCuir and Mr.Myrick nor do I honestly care..8she shook her head*No,we were not friends we were as so many within this city are aquantices(sp) nothing more*she chuckled softly for a mere moment*She is not missing nor is she Primogen any longer either she choose to step down from that seat and left the city a few weeks later....So do not trouble yourself with seeking her out,for Iam certain she will return to New Orleans one day...

Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:47:38 PM)
"Hopefully I'm still here when she does." :Glancing at Anastasia he smirked: "She had a certain fire about her, kind that can lure you to your doom. Guess we'll see. " :Dropping the cigarette into his glass he rose slowly and tucked the program underneath his right arm: "If all you see people as are acquaintances Anastasia, then that's what they'll always be, nothing more. I see such a life a bit tiresome, after all. You have to trust someone. "
:Moving around his seat he pulled out a thin envelope from inside his coat and placed it on the chair between them: "Since you enjoyed the song the other day I figured I would oblige. In my country it's rude for anyone to refuse a gift, so I would hope you enjoy yourself.. At least for one evening. " :Moving to leave he stopped at the door and looked back: "Take Mr. Myrick with you, he could use a bit of culture. If you need me Mrs. Montrose by all means do not hesitate to call if my services required. "

Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 10:53:53 PM)
*she shook her head*Mr.Gaspare you would not be the first to be enchanted with her nor would you or will you be the last,Im certain*shaking her head a bit more*It is safter to see people as such*furrowing her brow for a second*for once one betrays you it is hard to trust any others...*she glanced at the enevelope when he set it down then up at him*I know better than to refuse a gift Mr.Gaspare cause yes indeed it is rude..*offering him a small smile* I shall think on taking him,perhaps it will be you I ask*she actually smiled up at him but as quickly as it appered it disappeared* I will remeber your words..Have a good evenng,Mr.Gaspare..
Anastasia Montrose (Sep 18, 2011 10:53:59 PM)

Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:56:50 PM)
"Whatever you decide.. " :With a nod he spoke softly before leaving her alone: "Una bella sera a voi pure signora"
Nero Gaspare (Sep 18, 2011 10:57:36 PM)
(the envelope has two tickets for La Boheme this upcoming weekend. Best seats in the house of course. anyway I'm off to meet the sheriff and get burnt to death.. YAY!)
