I was making various business moves and looking into some of the properties, small things in which to better establish a base for the dealings of heroin out of. I was smart enough not to use the estate in itself. Hanging up the phone I leaned back in my seat, the phone rang once more and I picked it up, not even having enough time to move my hand from it. Hello It was the man I had been doing some dealings with in the past, one who sought to bring a bit of black arms dealings my way. I pondered this, it wouldn’t hurt to have the estate stocked with a few goodies, the thoughts of some of the strange dealings that had been happening in this land since I came the extra protection wouldn’t hurt in the least I figured. Tonight? I scratched my chin at this, knowing I still had a guest in the estate What do you mean you’re on your way now? My lips curled into a sneer slightly, I didn’t like unexpected visits. Fine, but what you have better be worth it Charles, I need not tell you of the last man that I was dissatisfied with. Of course that man had been Charles’s partner for a number of years before I ripped his throat out right in front of Charles for trying to sell me lesser value hardware. (14:58:46 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: I hung up the phone and stood up from the desk, making my way to the door the phone rang again. I let it keep ringing, I had an answering machine for a reason. Pushing the door open I headed out from under the stairs where My office was located, out of the harsh rays of sunlight. Dusk had just taken to the sky and the shades were drawn, it would not be too much longer until nightfall was upon the estate in truth. I wore a tan Armani suit this day, it fit perfectly and seemed to compliment my slightly pale complexion I saw Giles We’re getting more company tonight, Charles should be here soon. The tone of my voice was one of obvious displeasure. Brown eyes looked about the main hall for a moment how is the other? I know Sigmund wanted to try putting him on a special diet, something about flavoring the taste. I was unsure of all of that, but it was not unheard of, there were rumors of chiefs of such skill that they learned exactly what to feed mortals before they were feasted upon for a particular taste, I had yet to experience such myself. (15:08:53 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: I moved then from the hall, turning into the room opposite of the dinning room and headed into the study, there the walls were filled with books, though still there were a few empty bookshelves in the great library. Partly because I had not had the chance to make Giles finish unpacking with the other events that had taken place. The volumes were massive, everything from Shakespeare to a few older books that did not bear titles, but the leather bound tomes were aged well. They were various books on the occult and upon mainly necromancy. I picked up one special volume, the leather had been dyed and colored a deep blue, and it was almost black the color of it was so dark. Opening the book my fingers lightly brushed over the aged parchment, the pages crinkled slightly as each one was turned while brown eyes studied the ancient text, it had been written in Greek, and kept most on lookers away but that was simply the text portions, other text scribed in the book was in a language all together different, it kept the translations out of the hands of those that knew nothing of the matters of necromancy, of the spirits and life after death. (15:12:18 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: -She stirred against the sheets and streetched languidly over them, the silken pyjamas she’d worn the first night here were worn and she pushed her arms above her head to the headboard, before she blinked awake. The first thought to cross her mind was … “Where the hell am I?” ..As she glanced around the room, she recognized the bed, the four posters hard not to, really, and then she was moving, tangled in the sheets, she fell from the bed with a thud to the floor as she just sat there and the events from the night before came crashing over her and she began to sob, how could she have done such a thing, to another human being. Leon was right, she killed in cold blood, and when she had done it she had no regrets, and even now curled in tan sheets, a huddle next to the bed, she knew she still held no remorse for her actions, no regrets, but she didn’t think if the opportunity had arisen once more, she wouldn’t do it as she ran her hands over her face and slowly began to try and disentangle her form from the sheets. She finally broke free of the sheets and fell away from them as she moved back against the floor, hand over hand, and her feet following before she saw with her back against the wall, her head in her hands as she cried softly, it seemed all she did lately was cry and then she wondered of her stuff, the apartment, the ink blob and everything else. It wouldn’t make sense to anyone, and it sure as hell made no sense to her as her hands moved and the fists form to hit the carpeted floor, of course the sound would ricochet through the house and she sighed softly. She was a mess now, and Leon, how could he have watched her, helped her, what exactly was he? ..He sure wasn’t a financial advisor, that much she fathomed from all the freaky shit that had happened to her in the last 72 hours.- (15:21:24 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: The phone rang again, picking up the extension in the study I listened. There wasn’t much need to talk until the man on the other end asked about one of my stocks. I don’t care what you think, I’m telling you, oranges this year are going to sky rocket, No the government wont put a sanction on the price, the modern day legislation is not that intelligent. My head shook as brown eyes continued to study the aged text. Look, the prices are down right now, yes they are going to continue to in on their descent, give it another month and they will be rising again. I want one hundred more shares bought by Wall street closing tomorrow. The voice on the other end made some protesting You know nothing then, and forget thinking it doesn’t suite you, just do as you are told. With that I hung up the phone, I had been rather loud, but far from yelling. Simply agitated by the stupidity of wanting to compare apples to oranges, I did deal with a few legit businesses, though not many in truth, my main focus had been the import export business, not the stock markets. (15:26:10 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: umm (15:28:41 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: -She could hear the muffled sounds withiin the house, but she actually felt like a cup of coffee and perhaps some toast as she pushed upward off the floor. Her full height she stood and sighed, she didn’t know what to wear and with that she padded across the bedroom door and pulled it open and stuck her head out and glanced around. Great no one about, as she smiled. Her demeanor had changed swiftly, she didn’t dwell on shit, and well she would deal with it in her own way, bottling it inside was how she dealt with most stuff. Running her fingers through her hair, she pushed the layers back and slowly made for the stairs, she moved down them with a dancers grace until she hit the bottom with a light thud on bare feet. Still dressed in the pink silk pyjamas, she turned left and then paused, having no real clue as to where the kitchen was she frowned slightly and glanced at the closed drapes, how could anyone live like this, in such gloom and doom, she mused slightly, before stepped back and turning right, perhaps it was passed the dining room she was in the night before. Tepid steps drew her to it and she pushed the doors open, and sighed. It was clear of the mess, there was no hint of what had transpired the night before as she stepped in and ran her fingertips over the hard wood of the table.- (15:36:15 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : The kitchen was indeed just passed the dinning room, perhaps you would recall from the direction Giles had come from the night before. The doors to the study were wide open, looking out into the dinning room though I didn’t seem to notice you in the least, to enthrall in the ancient tomb I was studying. Through the kitchen if you went that way, it would be empty as well, Sigmund was off dealing with other things, the kitchen itself was large, a large island counter in the middle near the fridge and stove, as well as another door down into the basement. Brown eyes snapped as I closed the book, still a bit irritated at the imbecile on the phone I replaced the tomb onto the shelf and grabbed another, the leather cover upon it was aged almost as much as the first but the color was a standard brown. I was looking for something certain, recalling the twinge I had felt when we were near your apartment, and the way you had spoken, looking for any signs of something that would help me understand the occult dealings around Vietnam.

(15:44:20 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -She hadn’t even looked in that directioon, of where you were in the study but she continued to ease along the table to where she had stood the night before. Emeralds shone darkly, there was much confusion in her mind as to what had happened, and then she could still feel the emotion of the knife plunging and she shook her head. It would not do well to dwell on such things as she moved passed and into the general direction Giles had come from the night before and she smiled. Kitchen, food, haven as she ran her fingers over the door frame and looked within. Thankfully it was empty as she stepped in, the silk pyjamas whispered lightly with each step as she moved around the island counter and there she saw the coffee maker, it seemed simple in the least as she started moving about the kitchen, opening cupboards and shutting them. She was making a racket of sound, but then she thought no one was in the house save her, and then she found the cup and placed it under the spout. Right, now she had to figure out how to work it and so she pressed the buttons and then it spat hot water at her, the slight cry escaped as she stumbled back in surprise. And then the scent of coffee filled the kitchen, great she grinned as she watched the black liquid flow and switch off as suddenly as it had started. Nodding lightly she took the cup and drew it out, smelling the aroma before she sighed and leant back against the island counter, pure unadulterated heaven as she took the first small sip. Perfect she mused, unlike her life, with a light shake of her head she wondered what she would do now. Where could she go and no way could she tell anyone of last night.- (15:44:26 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -Po Nagar Towers Ancient Shrines- -is taking in the peace and exotic viewss from the shrines- says to ALL: -she had traveled via the lines..the eassiest and safest way to travel for one such as she...emerging within the shrines in the out of the way shadows...she brushed her long hair back..it was held back in a simple pony tail this time..she wore a suit..sleen black dress pants with a barely obvious pin stripe of pale smoke grey...and a suit jacket that was cut to fit snug of the same material..heels with silver clips....a folder in her hand as she made her way from the shrine towards her second to last appointment of the early evening..most of the kin-jin would normally either be hiding in their homes away from the setting sun....or still wrapped up in whatever hole they called their tombs...she however like somany of her kind had spent her Second breath kissing the sun good morning and good night in mediation and ritual...bearing its pain and acress till she could take more and more of it each time..so asshe walked out into the muted rays she smiled..putting on the crisp sunglasses and made her way to the home of the kin-jin...she had other business to collect this evening before she had training to attend- (15:49:34 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : While you were in the kitchen, you might hear the muffled grunts and groans that seemed to escape from the basement. Then again, perhaps you were too entranced by the simple pleasures of the coffee to notice. The door to the basement was carelessly left partially open by Sigmund, allowing such sounds to escape from the darkness. Browsing through the aged tomb, I finally shut it and settled it back upon the shelf, perhaps I would simply have to make a few phone calls, surely there was some information readily available to the current status and time, I could always summon a spirit for such answers, though that would not be possible with the guests that would be in the estate currently, not one but two mortals soon enough. I had the Masquerade to think of, the lively hood of most vampires hung on that simple act. (15:56:04 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -Still leaning against the island counteer, she noticed nothing but the coffee in her hands, and for now that was all she needed, her hunger gone as she took the cup and moved back from the kitchen, if she heard anything it was simply passed off as sounds that went bump in the night, and well she wasn’t going to be investigating such. Stepping back the way she came, the soft pad of feet could be heard as she moved through the dining room, and then she saw the study door and frowned, she didn’t know how she had missed it when she had come through the first time, but then she was intent on coffee. Pausing lightly in the middle of the dining room, she took another sip of the coffee and stepped forward once more. The cup held gingerly in her hands, it was darn hot but she enjoyed the heat for now as she moved within the study. As she came over the threshold, she saw you by the book cases and watched you lightly, she was still pretty unsure of you and wondered who you were, but for now you were also her comfort, the only other who knew of what she had done, and perhaps you’d be able to help her. smiling she made a sough coughing sound to get your attention as she stood in the middle of the doorway. Bare foot, the silk pyjamas clung to her and the sleep tousled hair on her head lay this way and that, but her face held a seriousness to it, the depths of greens troubled by the events, but she offered a small smile. And then spoke .. “Hello Leon .. Am I disturbing?” ..The last was her normal self, the politeness, she hadn’t to be a disturbance, but she needed company as she stepped within the room and to the lounge chair, she placed herself in it lightly and took another sip of the coffee, watching you quietly.- (15:59:01 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: -after a few moments...she entered the ggrounds of the estate....strolling up the walk through the gardens...then pausing on the veranda..she checked the watch on the folder..she never wore anything save the prayer beads of crimson and green jade which hung on her right wrist and the necklace of jade which hung on her neck...she moved to the door and knocked on it..ignoring the doorbell...and waited for the family servants to either open the door or one of the lesser heeled of the della Passaglia to appear and give her the usual third degree- (16:03:51 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : and Ginny Poo! : I saw you and offered you a smile as I nodded your direction. Hello Khiandra, I trust you slept well? For all intent purposes, I acted as if nothing had happened at all last night, indeed it was nothing out of the ordinary for me. Did you not find any more clothing suitable? I pondered, I had told James to get a few items together, but perhaps his tastes were lacking aside from the dress that you seemed to have liked, that had been collected and tossed into the trash while you slept, though I did not think you had noticed. Standard part of cleaning up the scene. I heard a knocking at the door, in truth the estate had been expecting someone though Giles must of missed a car pulling up, perhaps he was getting lazy, who could tell. Giles moved to the door and opened it, he recalled you well enough and in his mute silence simply stepped to the side swinging the door wide open (16:07:22 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to ALL: -she smiled politely enough and walked ppast the man servant...giving him a nod beforespeaking..even in the heels she was only five foot eight inches...the fourinch heels only put her at being able to not look at some peoples stomachs-...be a dear and inform Senore della Passaglia the assessor is here to collect the paperwork on the current import and exports for the last fiscal trimester (16:09:24 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -The knock to the door had her bolting uupright in her chair, in the silence of the room, she could hear most sounds before she glanced back to you and lifted a brow. Well of course there was clothing in the room, but she didn’t think pink, or the yellow pants were her style as she shook her head lightly and spoke .. “I slept … well enough I suppose ..” ..She didn’t need to say anything else, she took it from you that it was something that just wasn’t spoke about, however hard she wanted to speak, she kept her silence for a moment, though she knew her state of dress wasn’t exactly the best she smiled lightly and took another sip of the coffee .. “I think I would like my own clothing …” ..Truth be it, she didn’t like wearing other peoples clothing, something like hand me downs and she shrugged lightly before shifting lightly, she glanced up and then stood up as if to leave, pausing mid step seeing Giles coming through and she turned to you quietly, her gaze down pondering, wondering many things before the words slipped out … ”You have company .. I will go …” (16:13:48 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : 'n Gin: Giles moved to shut the door as you came through, off to the left in the study you could see Me standing there plain as day, Giles knew this as well but as custom dictated motioned for you to follow him, all fifteen steps before you would be ushered into the study.

My right hand motioning to an empty chair across from where Khiandra had been sitting, and I turned to sit upon the edge of the table between the two. Hello Gin, I had not expected to see you so soon. Indeed it seemed this would be a night of visitors to the estate. A pleasant surprise Which was of course an outright lie, but I faked it rather believably (16:18:30 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -she laughed softly and moved behind thee manservant into the study...seeing you..and moving to the seat you offered...she stood beside it for the time being-..of course you are..-you lied well..but she already knew..the kin-jin of this country held no love for the kuei-jin and visa versa...she held nothing personal against you...she did not know you well enough to hate you...but she did see you as nothing but a kin-jin...a parasite who sucked blood from mortals to do nothing but infect them with its own blood...an STD....a communicable disease...but then again..you had your uses..she held out the folder to you-...your spread sheets and records for the last trimester...we did not recieve them from your predesessor...so we assumethey must be in your possession..-she gaze drifted to the woman in the room...remembering her from the bar...she smirked a bitthen looked back to you- (16:21:11 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -She shifted uncomfortable on her bare ffeet, but she was still tall at 5’7” height, and took a step back, her cup she had still managed to keep a hold of as she watched the other woman enter and then glanced to you. Who knew what kind of triangle this seemed to be, she remembered the smile after her kiss and then as if a light clicked on she rose a brow slightly and stepped back, she was a fair distance from both and her back was to the book shelves as she nodded quietly to you and then watched the other quietly, interested in her but from a weird point of view. Something flashed as a memory and she shook her head, remembering some from the night at the bar and then the smirk the woman gave had her taking a step back, while you dealt with her, she turned and began to look at the books on the shelves.- (16:24:43 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : and Gin: If there is much from my predecessor, I have yet to find where he has hidden it. I nodded taking the folder and setting it upon the table. I shall have James go over such things and have it back to you as soon as the accounts are done and in order. I nodded at this. I looked to Giles Fetch us some refreshment. With that he turned and headed off, watching the brief exchange between the two women. Brown eyes turned to watch Khiandra glance over the collection of books, I said nothing allowing it for the moment as I conversed with Gin (16:29:32 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : -she turned to look at you again as you browsed the books...and the kin-jin spoke to his servant..she could not help it...she was a harvester after all-...so do you enjoy the clubs of the lower city?...-she simply smiled...tilting her head to the side ever so slightly..those oddly colored eyes focused on you..even as she shifted attentions and spoke to the man-...his computer files would have been backed up on the house computers...but then again..there was alot of damage done during his...removal...as it were..so theremay only be hard copy left (16:33:44 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: And Gin -She shifted the cup of coffee to her leeft hand and then her right rose, teasing over the spines of the books, some she knew by heart and others were of interest as she paused on a book of Ancient Greek Mythology and pulled it down, she still had her back to you and the woman, and well she felt better this way, even though her own state of dress was lacking, she still held that striking niceness about her. Shaking her head lightly, she lowered the cup to the shelf and balanced it rather precariously on it before she opened the volume of text and smiled. She remembered this from when she was in school and she shifted, the slight stance she stood in had her left hip out slightly, and the natural curve of her body was aligned with a light kick to it, it was normal for her as her right leg bent slightly, and she lost herself within the words, the Greek she understood, and with a smile she lost time doing this as she turned page after page, while you conducted your business. Both of you didn’t seem to notice her much so she continued as she was, then the words came to her, and she stood upright, the change in her whole demeanor was seen, more on a defensive nature as she turned slowly and shut the book with a loud thud, and looked to Gin .. ”No .. I don’t … but you do I am sure ..” ..The hairs on the back of her neck had risen, and she felt the slightest annoyance in her at you before she shook her head and turned to take her cup once more. She would leave the two of you alone, for she wasn’t in the mood to discuss what she did in her private life with the woman.- (16:39:23 ) -Streetlight Shaman- Kill.Me.But.Promise.To.Do.It.Slowly -Gin- -SEAbN/DFC- I want to Live, I want to Love But, it's a long hard road out of Hell -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : thats funny..i could swear i saw you only a few nights ago in a bar....but..i do tend to confuse all of you..you know..all of you tend to look alike..-she smiled and waved a hand in the air..the prayer beads clicking softly..then as she turned to look at the man..her voice dropped softer-...of course your friend and her gentleman definately stick out in my mind (16:40:33 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : and Gin: I said nothing for a moment, noticing Gins interest in the mortal woman who was the guest of my house currently, and in some ways, the source of much enjoyment as I had begun the process of systematically stripping the innocence from her. There is very little left of such things indeed, but I’m sure James will be able to come up with something. You know those lawyers, absolute bloodsuckers when it comes to getting information. It was a small, inside joke on my part. Brown eyes continued to watch Khi as she responded to your question If you know of any, I’m in the market for some books on the local surroundings, the hard to find kind. I nodded, of course most of those would be simply legends and lore of the area, but from such things many others can be deciphered. I did not wish to have simply bookstore copies in my library. Brown eyes looked for the eyes of Khiandra noticing the change in her as she looked over the book, hoping to lock eyes long enough as I spoke, the voice moving with that silken smooth grace, if indeed I had looked into Khi’s eyes I would use (Dominate – Command the Wearied Mind) as I spoke Please Khiandra I motioned to the chair as I spoke the last word with a slight emphasis Sit. If I had not, it would simply come across as a request.

Emeralds met his brown and she moved forward at his urging, sit was easy enough as she moved around from the back of the chair and then she sat, the book cradled on her lap as she turned her gaze back on Gin, she disliked her immediately, that much was obvious as she pulled her legs up and the soles of bare feet hooked on the edge of the lounge chair she was in.

Brown eyes regarded you, and looked deeply into your own, almost to assess if you were ready for such truths. If she proved trouble afterwards she could easily be slain, the canines in my mouth seemed to jut out a little further, expanding though it was very hard to see between my closed lips. I simply waited to see how you would answer the question given. (17:00:10 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -Emeralds were dark with a fury, and perrhaps confusion as well as she turned her head away and shook her head. Things going bump in the night, well no she really didn’t think she needed to know, then when she looked back to you, she frowned as her gaze met your own, so much had happened to her, she wasn’t sure if one more thing would send her over the edge or make things easier. Still indecisive, she bit down on her lower lip and her hands trembled to the point that she leant forward and placed the book down on the table, and curled back against the arm of the chair, she always seemed to be in such a position around you and then she nodded quietly, she didn’t speak but then she didn’t know what to truly say to you.- (17:06:20 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : Do you recall stories of vampires, ghouls and ghosts. Surely every child hears of such things at one point and time. I watched you as I spoke the dark ones that seek to pervert and live off the flesh of mankind. I continued along, my voice was once more in that silky smooth tone as I did so, my brown eyes roaming over your form as if you were perhaps my next meal, or something else, perhaps something even worse. I can tell you only one thing in truth about them to start with, to help you understand. The tone faded with the last word spoken, there was a sudden change in my demeanor, with vampiric speed I was there, My hands gripped tightly to the arms of the chair, leaned over my face close to yours with fangs bared, brown eyes seemed cruel and lifeless as I spoke the last two words harshly. They exist. (17:13:16 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -She had in the meantime wrapped her armms around her legs, hugging them to her as she watched you, her motions were almost childlike, but at nineteen she’d seen more then she had truly wanted to as her toes wiggled slightly and she frowned at you. Stuck between bursting out laughing and crying she listened more as you spoke. Vampires, ghosts and ghouls, she shook her head, this was a joke surely as she glanced back up to you, she saw how you were looking at her and she felt the shiver of fear within her, before she shook her head again. This was impossible and then with a soft scream she saw you in front of her. Leaning so close that she could smell every inch of you and she shrunk back against the chair and she grew even paler, as she looked down and the fangs were seen, oh fuck, her mind spun and she pushed you back with her feet rising to your stomach, existing or not, you were just a tad to close and she shoved back, trying to move away and from you. Fear gave her strength as she shot out of the chair and to the floor. Her feet sounded out with a thud as she backed up against the bookcase, and then her voice .. ”No .. no .no … no ..” ..It was sounded over and over as her fingers clutched the shelves behind her and she shook slightly, the black trails like veins moved over her face, before she looked up and to you. It wasn’t real, it couldn’t be.- (17:22:11 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : I moved with an unfathomable quickness, blessed by the vampiric nature. Around the table I moved and I came upon you again, My left hand reaching up to grab a fistful of your hair and jerk your body tight against me, all thoughts but one lost. The thirst… My right hand moved to your hip as I pulled your body up, bringing you back down none to gently upon your back as I lunged down, fangs sinking into the flesh of your neck, it had been the first time in awhile that I had fed in such a manner, at first, behind the fear it might seem pleasurable. Often humans found it to be so, the dark kiss, it was not as fables led to believe, the turning a mortal into a vampire, in ancient Carthage, once vampires and mortals lived side by side, and often humans were found to enjoy the dark kiss that I gave you now. That however was not the dark kiss of the Giovanni, for the clan had one flaw, the feeding soon began to cause pain, not just to you, but to me as well while I drained your body of blood. I would not drain you fully, or even half way, simply enough to sate my thirsts, perhaps the pain would not come fully as I held you pinned down, My lips tightly pressed against your neck while I forced myself upon you like a thief in the night, teeth embedded into the soft, sweet flesh. (17:29:46 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -Lashes flew open as you were upon her aagain, and her hands flew to your chest, trying to push you away from her as her head continued to shake back and forth. Who knew in her dreams that this was what she had dreamt of as a child, but now that it was there, she didn’t want this and with a soft scream, she felt you leaning down and her hair grabbed painfully. She felt every strand of hair pulled from her scalp as you had her jerked against you, her palms flat to your chest as her hips met yours, though this was no dance, she had no idea if she would live beyond this moment as you maneuvered her around, the scream still there, but no doubt in her mind that no one would be saving her as she struggled against you. She was no match for your size, nor strength as she felt the first bite, the pain shot through her and she gave a chortled scream of fear, the plea dying on her lips as she shook in your grasp, emeralds widened in fright as nails dug at your chest. Scrapping to free herself of such, and in that one second she knew that you had been telling the truth and even then she could feel every innate detail of your fangs in her flesh and the pain was fresh, it hurt like fuck and she squirmed against you, trying to dislodge you from her neck, but then again she was weakening as well, the blood flowing from her to you had her tired and she felt the welcoming haze of darkness, something she hadn’t expected and she gave in to it as pain still moving with a relish through her form.- (17:37:20 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : My lips came from your neck, your own blood dripping down either side of my mouth, I knew when to pull away, just before the pain reached its peek, I had not taken enough to do anything other then give you perhaps a sudden high from the sudden loss of blood, I wanted you fully awake as I looked down upon you, the fangs still bared, bits of blood dribbled down from my chin as brown eyes seemed to lose some of the harshness. My body was still half on top of your own as I watched you, studying how you would react to the sudden realizations, a drop of blood came down to splash upon your lips. Taking a handkerchief out of my jacket pocket I pressed it to the side of your neck, the bleeding would stop soon, I simply bit it was not as if I ripped out your throat. You would always bare the marks however, the puncture marks upon the tender spot of your neck, marking you as food. Yes I uttered the one word in response to the crying of no you had done before I gorged myself upon you. (17:47:21 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -Your lips came free from her neck and hher head rolled to the side as she shivered slightly, it had hurt but with you not drawing the blood the pain diminished slightly, but the memory of it was still fresh as she turned her head back and looked up to you. The blood that dripped was her own and she gagged slightly, and the haziness still surrounded her as if she doped up on heroin, and she shook her head, her hands were still at your chest, though they now gripped at your jacket. Lashes lifted slightly and she looked into your browns and sighed, how could this be happening to her, and the realization made her sick, but something else had triggered within her, how she had found some pleasure in the pain you had forced upon her, and the rosy hue found their way over her features, she tried to hide it from you as your hand brought a handkerchief to her neck. She flinched and tried to pool away from you, before she whispered, her voice soft and shaken … ..”why … ?” ..She groaned softly as the pressure was applied and she felt the pain in her neck, she would wear a bruise for a few days where the holes were punctured in and she pushed against your chest now, trying to get you off of her, the way she had fallen was actually not very ladylike, and even in times like this she remembered who she was and how she was brought up as she felt tears stinging her eyes, she still couldn’t comprehend that you just fed from her, and why you had done this to her.- (17:48:15 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: pool = pull (17:55:05 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : There were touches of a darkness about you, that were there long before I had ever come about, some of them seemed to be coming to life since you had come to the estate. My brown eyes were fully upon your own as I allowed you to push me back for the moment, it was not as if I could not be on you in a seconds notice if I wished it, you were mine now, being molded as I saw fit, made so by the terrible truths you had come to see with your own eyes, and experience with your body. The taking of life, the dark kiss, the guest room, they were all little bits of a play, meant to ensnare you, I saw a potential in you for great profit to come my way. The reason of the dark kiss was as simple, my tongue came out, slowly licking the remaining blood from my lips, eyes closing as I savored the sweet taste before I spoke it. To open your eyes to the true world that you live in. (18:01:18 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -In truth she really didn’t want an answwer to her question of hwy, but more importantly she didn’t want to believe in anything that seemed so unreal to her. As you lifted off of her slightly, she pulled back and squirmed away from you, this time her back to the bookcase once more but she was still on her ass, her hand moving to replace the handkerchief to her neck as she watched you lick her blood off your lips. The look of delight she saw in you had her shaking her head, and with a murmur she pulled her hand back from her neck, the handkerchief had her blood on it, but her neck had stopped bleeding, but the two holes still visible there and she leant her head back. She wasn’t about to run, she still had some things to find out, but perhaps not right then, and in truth she wouldn’t be going back to her apartment any time soon either as she shifted back and drew her legs up and to her form. Emeralds were dark and she rose her chin slightly… “I don’t want this .. why did you .. do what you did …. Why me?” ..She surmised that the most important of that was why you chose her, or even allowed her in your house, you still wouldn’t know her last name, or even where she was from and she silently stared at you and with a sigh she hung her head down..- (18:07:10 ) -= Vita Dopo la Morte =- Leontas della Passaglia SEAbN-DFC -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to | Iniquitous Charme | | : From the moment I saw you upon the street, I wanted to take you. A smile crossed my lips as brown eyes fixed upon your own, the tan Armani suite had small droplets of your blood upon it why else, do you think I ensured that you would live after the thugs were done with you, though your quick recovery is still a mystery to me. My right hand moving out for you to take it, my eyes seemed to flash for a moment as I spoke, hopefully our eyes remained locked (Dominate – Mesmerize) Come to me Khiandra, embrace me.the smile upon my lips grew as I watched you. (18:12:07 ) | Iniquitous Charme | | Khiandra Diomidis | | SEAbN-DFC | -della Passaglia Estate- -within the richly decorated and highly secured home of the della Passaglia Family- says to -= Vita Dopo la Morte =-: -She sighed as she listened to you, and then glanced up, her cure/healing was still a mystery to her as well, but as Requiem had told her, something’s were better no known and her eyes were drawn to the blood on your jacket and then back up. She wanted to laugh, do something as it seemed to be so dry in here, the air so still around the two of us, that she shivered lightly and then as your right hand came out, emeralds had moved back to your own and in that moment, she reached out with her left hand and placed it within your own right. She didn’t know why or how she was compelled to touch you after, you had drunk from her, fed, same thing as she pushed back from the book case and her form was closer to you, and the smile she watched grow as she compiled, obedient to you before she shook her head and drew her gaze away to her hand in your own.-
