*Nathaniel is sitting in his favorite chair in the Chantry Library refreshing his memory of the Discipline he is about to learn. He skims through pages he's previously read, not wanting to disappoint the Regent with his lack of knowledge. Study is nothing without practice... he furrows his brows in concentration*
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Jul 25, 2011 5:48:42 PM)
*Eventually he stands up and places the old book back on the shelf, thinking about everything his sire, Mensonge, and his Miami tutor have told him about it... he cocks his head to the side as he realizes that though he know what's supposed to happen... he doesn't know HOW it happens. After placing the book back on the shelf he mentally prepares himself to meet the Regent*

The Regent hobbled in 2 subjects followed close behind the old coot. The grey wizened and bent man looked at Nathaniel and wheezed to a stop pointing the female and male ghouls into place near the center of the Library. He then motioned Nathaniel.. "Come here Crawford... look at them, so ready and willing to be nothing more than test dummies..." A chuckle wracked his warped gnarled body and he wheezed into the hanky with another laugh, his charming smile wide and macabre as hints of his humor had returned, very unlike the pissed Regent Nathaniel had encountered the evening prior.
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Jul 25, 2011 5:55:58 PM)
*As the Regent enters he bows deeply. This is a kindred with extreme experience. He takes in the two ghouls, cocking his head to one side, and takes a tentative step closer, then another and another until he is within arms reach. He smiles cryptically at the pair* Thank you for this opportunity Regent Barnes.
Reginald Winston Barnes V. (Jul 25, 2011 5:58:40 PM)
The subjects, had been dominated and conditioned, memories wiped, there only purpose was to serve and be used. The poor souls hadn't a clue about their fate, if Nathaniel proved he could master, they may even live through the evening. But it wasn't as if Barnes cared either way. It would prove more of a boon for Nathaniel if he could attempt the feat before him without actually killing the subject though. A grin as he looked at Crawford and nodded. "Yes yes... you're lucky I'm even doing this for the extreme break in our code that your Sire decided to error in was grevious." And there it was, he had not forgotten that Crawford was the childe of Anastasia, and obviously Ana had fucked up royal. It reflected badly on Nathaniel, and he would have to endeavor to prove himself more so now.
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Jul 25, 2011 6:03:20 PM)
*Glances from the pair to the Regent* As you know I care deeply for my Sire *pauses as his hands begin to shake* However this is my moment and I will show you that I am a capable student. I have read as much lore as I could in regards to this... gift. And I have ensured that I am low in blood... *smiles* so that I can take it back in. *cocks his head to the side* How close should I stand... I am told you can be quite far? Is it easier if I am closer?
Reginald Winston Barnes V. (Jul 25, 2011 6:16:18 PM)
The old man chuckled...so eager was Nathaniel to please, he wondered how far he'd go to see himself attain prestige and status that rivaled his now dishonored Sire. "You need to be within 50 feet of your subject for the ritual to be accomplished...no further or it shall not work.." He wheezed and then motioned the woman. His voice was stronger, less wheezy as he explained. "Feel the blood pulsing her veins Crawford....see it hear it....and above all else taste it...." The old mans eyes narrowed and his breathing all but stopped the woman jerked, a physical stream of blood emptied her, eyes nose mouth streaming thick red vitae..."Steal the control they have, and take their blood, as if it were your own..." The blood transfused with Reginalds...and he said to Nathaniel.. motioning the other ghoul a male. "Guide it, fuse it with your own..."
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Jul 25, 2011 6:17:35 PM)
*Nathaniel moves toward the other end of the room, maintaining eyes on the male subject... he imagines the blood coursing within his veins... he imagines the microscopic holes within those veins... he imagines blood penetrating those barriers and.... it is happening.... the blood is leaving their bodies and is physically stretching itself through the air and toward me like a magnet... Nathaniel gasps as the blood enters his system without even needing to taste it.*

Reginald Winston Barnes V. (Jul 25, 2011 6:24:29 PM)
Reginald watched the small amount of blood leave the male subject and lifted a brow. "Do it again..."

Reginald looked at Crawford and cleared his throat. "Very well Crawford... you have attempted... they weren't impressive goes at it, but with careful practice I am sure you will come to terms with a way to gain more than a smidge at a time....I hope.." He guffawed only it came out a cackle and the old man turned his eyes on the neonate with a look that would have sent lessers fleeing. "Do not disappoint me as your Sire has, are we understood?"
Dr. Nathaniel Crawford (Jul 25, 2011 6:34:18 PM)
*nods* Completely. *Nathaniel is in a daze as he realizes his fledgeling power... unpracticed... but successful* Regent. *raises a quizzical brow* I have read that when one completes the next level of Thaumaturgy *winces as he speaks his next words* that the pupil is also given a page from the Master's grimoire... a ritual of the master's choosing *lets the sentence drop off and begins to raise his head nolonger wincing... though he had done poorly at siphoning blood from afar... he WAS successful both times and the Regent did say not to kill them if possible. He was proud of his actions and how they may progress in the future*
