As the glow of dawn began to light the eastern skyline, James finally stopped riding. He had avoided this place too long and it was time to get a sleep. He had waited to the last possible moment of night to arrive, as the sky turned into twilight. Parking his bike around the back, James walked up to...

James cursed mentally. This was a dead end. "Ah ok. dont worry about it man, I got some more shit to take care of. Sorry to be a pain. Ill see you around" Walking back out the door before the shop keeper had a chance to answer James mounted his bike and rode off. He was irritated. This lif...

James looked around the dusty room. "Uh, found out last minute an uncle had passed away. His service is tomorrow and if I go looking like this im liable to get disowned... Sorry to impose late on you like this. I was just in the area and thought I may stop in. You heard anything more from your ...

One of the windows above the pawnshop is lit up, occasionally flickering as though someone is watching television. Seconds after James knocks on the door, a silhouette passes by the window and then the sound of someone descending creaking wooden stairs. Moments later, the sound of the door being un...

Exhaust roaring, James pulled his bike to a halt outside Arthurs pawn store. It was late in the evening, but he hoped to find the man there, for he needed the favour.

Walking up to the store door he took a good look around to make sure the place was safe before knocking on the old door.

James paid little attention to Maddoc. He couldn't shake the feeling he got about all of this. First the opera house and now here, someone had stood in and saved his backside. He couldn't help but shake the image of the black man in glasses. This was the guy he needed to talk to. But first more pres...

Seeing his brightly lit friend slowly making distance between them, James cursed at his bad luck and pushed his body hard to make ground between himself and the doormen.

But deep in the back of his mind, part of him was sick of running...

James, lacking the class and foresight of Maddoc, bowled straight through the woman his colleague had just leap frogged. He continued running at speed, leaving a stream of curses and yells behind him.

Nodding, James looked around, taking in the situation.

"Yeah man, that's a good idea.."

James began making his way to the back of the bar, looking for a way out.

James quickly stepped forward.

"Hey guys, that's completely unnecessary. Let me take care of him, I'll get him out of your hair, alright?" He bent down to pick Maddoc up off the floor.

James grew oblivious to his surroundings. He was floored by the power he had over mortals, first the waitress and now this girl here. He had always had a gift with people, but now that he was a kindred it seemed so easy. He felt like a puppet master, pulling on the strings of emotion. In a daze, he ...

"Well, it shows," said one of the vampires surrounding Rupert. "I guess you're sick of being talked down to, but that's what the way it is with us. You simply are a young one in a city of Kindred older than a hundred years. Well, most of them. But it shows - you have no idea of our s...

"Ah yes you have heard of me." James said smugly. "Everyone's looking for me yet no ones found me for a week. Even had that snake tongued bitch chase me. She ain't shit. Ha, how many people can say that bitch chased them and they lived to tell the tale? Not bad for a another "Ne...

I am a bit gutted I never got to truly unleash my puritan Fascists upon the wasteland.

James shook his head. He had once been like that? Nothing more than a coke head. It looked like shit was getting interesting. But something about the man addressing Maddoc just didn't seem right. That symbol. He had seen it somewhere before... "Hey! he blurted out, pointing at the Invictus symb...

Revelation (Manipulation + Persuasion + Majesty) roll (-1 vitae): 3 successes versus the subject's Composure (-1 success). Total 2 successes. The barmaid suddenly appears at ease with James, entranced by his presence. "Look," she says with a low tone as though revealing her deep-held secr...

The barmaid glances at the cash, pauses, and then glances at the wallet again. She takes the cash and then places it in the register quickly. "Can I ask," she says stiffly, "who payed you to rob a priest? Or did you just think you just wanted to steal from Brother Hope?" A look ...

Nodding, James pulls out the wallet taken from the attacker at the theatre. Watching the woman closely he opens it in such a way that the drivers license is clearly visible while rifling through it for cash. "Ah fuck, how clumsy of me, I grabbed the wrong wallet.." Putting it away he remov...

Turning away from Maddoc, James went to the woman who approached them earlier.

"Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Jack Danials please, on the rocks." James eyes flicked briefly along the woman figure, admiring her form.

Having turned to talk to the woman who wished to order their drinks, James was unprepared for Maddocs actions. He turned saw him be line for the unconscious girl.

"Oh Shit! He hiss as he ran after the insane kindred, to slow to stop him reaching the group stood around the girl.
