When you enter the haven something is not right, in fact the place seems like hell. Its an overwhelming feeling yet everthing is in prestine order, save the cabinet that blocked the door to the basement... its tore asunder and the door is hanging from ITS HINGES. Herring would be down there but your not sure you wish to see him in this state... he is doing his own week of nightmares, his mind becoming reality around him.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:04:22 PM)
She entered and looked around. For the first time ever, she feared Herring. She stripped out of her clothes, remembering the rule, not caring if he had or not and she moved to the door leading to the basement. She slowly looked inside. "Herring?"
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:07:38 PM)
The basement is a horror show, you see images, some flashing some static but all are horridly twisted. A beautiful dusky skin woman stands with a smile but there is a slant in her, like she was split and two and sliding down, frozen in time. You were there, seeing double save for the fact you were shattered into a million pieces, looking like a mosaic than the real deal. A man off to the side, crumpled and drained of blood. A dozen other figures, all sundered by the fabric of herrings mind. A haze lay over the basement and a soft echoe would repeat again and again, "Failure, remember where you come from." In the middle stood herring, nude and still, a statue carved in pain and staring off into space, blood dripping from his left hand before him.
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:08:54 PM)
[this is just part of it... imagine the most horrid, depressed, and torn things in one's mind all brought back to reality by illusion]
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:09:44 PM)
Vicki trembled at the images she saw and kept telling herself it was all an illusion. She padded down the stairs, keeping her eyes locked on Herring. She reached out to him. "Herring..."
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:10:41 PM)
Your voice did nothing to herring but you see your own image come alive, repeating his name and grinding in a painful pattern.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:12:04 PM)
She stared at her own image and tried to touch it. She looked back to Herring. "Herring...look at me..."
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:13:56 PM)
As your fingers brush the shards you feel as iff your cut, a wound appearing and your shards floating away, shattering your image even more. Herring would turn his head slowly looking at him fully you see what by catholics would be described as a miracle, though a horrid one. Blood runs from his eyes and palms and a million emotional scars are on his body frech and bleeding.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:15:16 PM)
Vicki trembled and looked to him. She reached out to touch him. She lightly ran her hands over his chest. "Herring...please...snap out of it..."
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:18:08 PM)
He would look to you slowly, his glowing eyes glowing black now and as he looks to you everything disapears, the room is totally black save for you and him, still looking like a matyr.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:20:26 PM)
"Herring...I love you..." She whispered. She had to say this. "Herring....I know you hate the Camerilla....I know you're thinking I'll change if I take this position...and it hasn't been officially offered yet....but it won't change me....All I'll be is an activist for my clan. Their voice in court. That's all....nothing more...."
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:24:50 PM)
At the mention of the camerilla everything comes back in the black background before moving to one area, like pulled by a black hole, in a violent action to one figure, everything else disapears for this new image, the current prince of the city. You hear his voice, a perfect replica. "Your mine now, my slave, you report to me a pet bitch at my every command."
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:28:43 PM)
She gazed to the image. "Is that how you think it will be? It won't be Herring. It wasn't like that in Savannah. Occasionally, there were primogen meetings, but they weren't often. I'd have to be at court yes...but you don't have to go....He won't summon me like that..."She gazed back to Herring. "No matter what you'll be first in my life....and if I'm anyone's pet, Herring....its yours...yours alone. "
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:32:32 PM)
The price face changes to a cruel smile. "No he doesnt have to go id rather him not the filthy trash he is. vile vermin these independants with no rights in my city. you however are nothing more than a puppet, whether you like it or not. We will take you in, comfort you, then destroy you... in the end you will be one of us...." At the word us you see the court appear, all demonic and dark with blackness where their eyes should be, all staring down at you.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:37:09 PM)
She looked at the images andback to Herring. :Herring...thats not true. Indies are welcomed in the city. Theonly reason they are requested to make their presense known is to seperate them from the sabbat. Its to offer them protection if needed. I won't be a puppet, Herring. I'll be the same Vicki you love....You were worried at one time about the final drink in the bond changing me. It didn't. Why can't you see this won't be any different?
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:38:41 PM)
A resounding chorus comes from all of the court. "Once you become one of us there is no escape, you become what we want or we destroy you and no one will even know it was us."
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:39:35 PM)
"No...its not like that....I was there with my sire....It isn't like that. You have your own voice..."
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:42:14 PM)
"that is the camerilla, and only those outside it see it for what it is. they pretend to protect eachother when really all they do is watch their own backs while stabbing eachother in their's. There is no redemption for them they are worse than even the sabbat, at least those anarchs are honest." If you looked at herring you would see his mouth appears to be sewn together and he hasn't moved an inch.
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:44:24 PM)
She gazed up at him and ran her fingers over his lips. "No...you'll see. It won't be that way. They'll be no backstabbing and I'll speak for those without a voice too...." She pressed her lips to his
Xavier 'Herring' Dupliss (Jan 17, 2011 10:46:49 PM)
He felt like marble to the touch, and didn't react to the kiss at all, his lips didnt even move as his voice continued. "There is no changing them for what they really are, and you are willingly becoming one of them. You will be lost in their darkness, it is inevitable and nothing can prevent it."
Vicki Pride (Jan 17, 2011 10:48:42 PM)
"Things won't change unless someone stands up to make them change. It won't change me...I won't become lost in the darkness by joining them....the only way I'd ever be lost to the darkness is if I lost you Herring..."
