| Welcome To The Night You find yourself in London on a dreary, foggy night like any other. But what lurks in the shadows is the stuff of fantasies and nightmares, far from mortal reality.

We are a writing and roleplaying community dedicated to telling complex and engaging stories. Your fate is your own.

Agustin sat in an empty warehouse in the dead of night. Cold. The building likely wasn't derelict, but the Lunatic had made sure it was well empty before he felt safe enough to do what he intended to do. He was staring at the brand new mobile phone in his hand, trying to find the courage needed to face a situation he didn't mean to create. Why did it hurt so much? Perhaps it was only the blood bond. Such a foolish thing to do in the heat of passion. But, then again... He felt like he failed before anything had ever started. Whatever it was meant to be. And he knew that was what hurt the most. It had to be the blood bond. He had never felt this strongly about anything. Anyone. Good or bad. He shuddered to think what drinking more of her blood might have done to him. Tempting as it still is... There were two phone numbers he made sure to memorize in his head. Sawyer was one. The other, though, was of concern tonight. It had been a few weeks since he was last in her presence. And a couple weeks more since he saw her with his own mismatched eyes. It just was not right how things turned out. There was a debt owed. Gratitude, at least. He had to make sure it was settled. Moving on, just letting it be, was not possible for him. That would be just another failure. He'd be even more the piece of shit he had long suspected himself to be. No, this had to be done. He dialed the number... Slowly. If he were mortal still, his heart would be racing. There was a numbness filling him, though. A deep depression had crept into his soul. So many things, so very many things... Of all the things he wanted... Needed... What he longed for the most... He could not have. And this fleeting chance that the universe, or god/s, had dangled in front of him only proved that. It surely wasn't that he just wasn't ready, or that everyone makes mistakes... No, he simply did not deserve love. A shaking hand lifted the phone up to an ear. He stuttered. "Hello... E-Emily?" |

Emily honestly didn't really know what he was talking about as far as illegal Mexicans went. She hadn't grown up in the Southwestern United States and she had only spent a scarce amount of time in even New York. She had heard the talk obviously, but she didn't really know much about that whole deal or really understand it. So that went completely over her head. She did grimace when he said no more murdering people. That validated her previous suspicions that he may have violated the Masquerade. It was something he should never mention again to anyone because the consequences would be dire. "Well that is definitely good," Emily stated in a kind of we shouldn't talk about that tone. Then the text message came through and she simply wiggled her nose at it. "It looks like we can totally have that dinner. Just let me know when, I don't have anything on my schedule." |

Agustin wasn't worried that the triple homicide may have been a Masquerade violation. Yeah, there was some weirdness where some of the blood was found, but Agustin didn't actually take much from the hooligans when he fed. They died from the combined trauma of the wounds he inflicted and some blood loss. A couple pints a piece, maybe (which he promptly lost). One of them was actually put out of his misery by Jason. And other than misplaced blood, there was nothing really suspicious about it. It more than likely just looked like some London gang business gone badly. So, yeah... Fuck the consequences... "Great." He said cooly. "Tomorrow should be good, just meet me at the Muse around... say, ten o' clock?" |

"Make it twenty three hundred and we can call it dinner," Emily said keenly tiptoeing around the word date. Because that was what she intended this not to be. |

Err... Military time? Twenty-three hundred hours would be... "Eleven P.M. Great. See you then, love. Bye." He said and eventually clicked the phone off, unless Emily had more to say, for which he probably wouldn't have a response anyway. He almost said 'It's a date!' but had the better sense not to make a fool. Agustin was fine now, for the most part, as he got up to his feet. A cold, dead expression on his face as he walked around touching crates and tools. The floor was concrete, but most of the rest was wood and other flammable materials. Other than steel support and tools. The building was rather old, actually. No security whatsoever. He pulled a silver zippo out of his pocket and flicked the flame alight carefully... Hatred burns a darker flame. Then he just left. Pyromania and arson are a big no-no when you're a vampire... Edited by Cid, Friday, 4. April 2014, 09:51.
