Requesting an Audience
« Thread Started on Jan 30, 2008, 11:22pm »

*Supra wanders into a seemingly empty room and looks around. It's something of a cross between a doctor's office and an interrogation room. There's a small reception window with the blinds closed. The only think left to be seen is a small collection of chairs held together in groups of 3.*

I'm here to speak with whoever's in charge here.

*He decides to wait in case someone works here, and picks up a magazine and thumbs through it.*

*Anna was in a bad mood. She had no particular reason to be other than it was her right as queen. Coming out of her room, she blasted the door to the sitting room open with a little more force than she had intended. As she entered the room, she noticed a man sitting back and flipping through a magazine. Hadn't she hired people to take care of this sort of thing?*

Can I help you?

*Supra folded the magazine closed and placed it neatly on the table in front of him. He knew she was in a bad mood and made a point to show formalities if only to display his refinement. He gestures to the door to close it and show the woman that he's no ordinary human as she thought.*

Anna, I presume. I'm here to speak to you about the mortal situation.

*She listened to him speak and watched as he closed the door. Silly man. It was as if he was trying to show her his power. She still had more than he would ever dream of.*

I wasn't aware that there was a situation.

*She raised an eyebrow. She didn't feel like inviting him into her office, so she took a seat next to him.*

But I am fair. I will listen to what you have to say.

*Supra had a feeling he knew where this conversation was going. He decided not to pursue this line of questioning while Anna had the advantage.*

You're certainly the type who demands respect. To be perfectly honest, I was surprised to see you so quickly. I'm at a loss it seems. I will say this, however; I believe your treatment of the general populace is despicable. I'm not sure what caused you to be so hateful, but I'm afraid this situation isn't going to work. What are you trying to do by forcing these people out?

*Anna was mildly amused. He was right. This was usually the kind of thing she would let her assistants handle. She just happened to be there and have nothing better to do.*

That's sweet. I take it you are a witch then? You were able to live in perfect secrecy among the mortals while we, the creatures of the night, were forced into hiding. I just made it so that the superior creatures were treated as such. The mortals moved out of town for their own protection. I can't keep everyone under control. And if they had stayed, it would have been an all you can eat buffet. My subjects would get lazy and never hunt. I have not mistreated them. I am trying to protect them. What concern is it of yours? And I didn't catch your name.

*He smiles*

That's because I hadn't thrown it. My name is Juan Supra. Sometimes I forget that other people can't read my mind too.

*His smile fades.*

I don't think we'll have too big a problem, but don't act surprised if it suddenly becomes harder for your people to feed on the helpless.

*He stands up and begins to leave, but stops suddenly.*

You know, I've always been wondering something. You've been able to live peacefully with mankind for centuries. Why start something? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you or your kind. Just make sure you know what you're doing. I don't think you want an open war with the mortals.

*Anna tilted her head. It was cute. The rumors were believed. She had only been a vampire for five years. People had just assumed that she was much older because she was so powerful.*

I like you, Juan Supra. There is a place for you here. All the protection you could want. I could even see to it that you become immortal, if you wanted to become more powerful.

*She leaned closer to him and stared in his eyes. She saw his power there. She decided to experiment with it and see if she could control his mind.*

Look into your mind, Juan. The power is right there. You can touch it.

Power?

*Supra's eyes suddenly turned dark and his canines became long and defined. He grew to twice his original size and sprouted bat wings and claws. He looked down on Anna for a moment, then leaned his head back and roared. The sound was deafening and the room started shaking. The small window broke first, then the door came off it's hinges and was sent flying down the hallway behind it. After a moment, the room creaked and the ceiling burst out into the sky revealing a terrible thunderstorm. Then the monster leaned in and bit down hard on Anna's throat, blood erupting from the fresh wound.*

That's what I think of when someone suggests that I become a vampire.

*Silence. The room was as it was a moment ago. Supra stepped away.*

5 years huh? You've come quite a ways, but I think I understand.

Just so you know, getting so close to me and looking into my eyes like that. Makes it really easy for me to show you things.

*Anna smiled.*

Well that fantasy was certainly...cute. But that isn't exactly how it looks. I certainly don't do all that nonsense. And I would never break perfectly good windows just for show. Rash displays like that are a sign of weakness. If someone has that much power, he would rather stay quiet and subdued. He would rather make the enemy fear what is to come. Remember that lesson. I've only been a vampire for five years, but I learn quickly. I took over all of this, didn't I?

*She was getting impatient with this man. At least he was direct and to the point. Anna knew she would have to take Melanie up on her offer about lessons on how to shield your thoughts with this powerful new man in the game.*

Well, you don't scare easy it seems. *Laughs* Well, I know when I've exhausted my welcome. I look forward to whatever defenses your friend comes up with. Melanie right?

I look forward to our next encounter.

*He turns around and leaves.*

Even the assistants were vampires. William knew his allies would be few and far between, and humans to be even more sparse, but he wasn't ready to meet only one other one alive in the city. He knew the others were around, but they were so quiet that they were nearly invisible.

Coaxing them out would subject them to vampire raiding parties. So, he didn't actively seek any out, and he knew they'd be thankful for it.

Even if he wasn't.

But his days had lead him to Anna's castle. The assistants were harassing him about appointments and pre-planning.

"You d**n vampires don't get it! I have to spend every waking hour defending myself against blood-junkie raids, and that's not even going toe-toe up with a witch or werewolf." He was against the wall, seated. He wasn't making a scene, at least, he didn't think he was. "Just... Get me an audience with Anna." He made sure all of his holsters were snapped closed, and his pack of guns was locked.

Despite his need for his guns, he still had the arms in his holsters. And trying to tote a pack-full of guns, ready to be unleashed at the slightest provocation, into the castle of the queen of city was a suicide death wish.

"I'm just here to talk. Tell her William Savante is here to see her." He felt the urge to check the ammo levels in his sidearms, but that would be very counter-intuitive at this point. "Worst case scenario, she turns me away, and I walk off. No harm done."

Negotiation wasn't his thing, hopefully he got through, though. Time to wait...

It was too quiet, Anna wasn't coming, he was fairly sure. The assistant was already preparing to have him evicted. He figured he would take the better part of valor and escape with his guns.

He got up and left, gun-pack jostling as he ran.
