"Oh, but have you ever seen such true cruelty? Have you seen the faces of children as they're drug out of showers poisoned to deaht for something they can't control? Have you seen the look on on someone's face as you slowly flay the skin from their chest?", she answers as the grin becomes bigger, "Have you seen the look of fear in someone's eyes when they know that no matter how loudly they scream for help they will still be part of a massive creation? Have you seen the cathedral of flesh?"

Her hand comes up and progresses towards his face. With it's clawed finger and ghastly pale skin, you would swear that it was a glove. Bones jutting out from where the finger bones are. A taloned finger slowly scratches one side of Griq's face.

His face doesnt even flinch at the touch and he moves her hand back away from him without a touch. "I have seen many things cruel and painful as well as caused them. I have seen what your type can do and it's mere childsplay to what I will do if you persist in touching me. Please keep you hands to themselves."

"Oh, feisty, there might be a use for your kind yet. But come now, I don't think you've ever seen the face of cruelty. I am most certain that you know even less about my kind. I do know quite a bit about your kind.", she says, claw-like nail tapping against the bar.

"Perhaps we know a bit about each other's type, but the degree of our opposing knowledges might not be as varied as you think. Regardless of what we each know about the differant kinds as a whole, it doesn't mean each one is exactally like the last. We all have our [i:6b080b1031]little surprizes...[/i:6b080b1031]"

"Oh, we do all have our little surprises...", she says as her face moves closer to his, "Like your little...clan. Do you have any specific feelings towards New York?"

She smiles an evil smile and says, "Ever use your sorcery on me again, and you will only wish for death."








((btw griq, the tremere do have negative feelings towards new york, after all they do have tzimisce blood in all of them. it's just nowhere nearly as powerful as the tzimisce.))

"I don't give a damn about New York. New York is for the higher ups to care about. My department is less centered around ancient [i:a0146ed8a1]family[/i:a0146ed8a1] feuds and more around my own. And as for wishing for death? I've been through enough to know that death life and eternity mean nothing once your already damned. What you do to me will be nothing compared to the fate awaiting us both in the underworld. After all, i'm sure satan has unconcievably painful methods that will make yours seem like a walk in the park."

"And you fear a mortal god?!? HA! There are so many things to fear that are greater then some mortal concept of heaven and hell. WHy fear that when there are more horrors in this world then some foolish concepts. BEing able to transcend such foolish and... petty thoughts. That is a true achievement.", she says in a flat tone.

"I'm surprised that with your current state you wouldn't have become a strong supporter of the symbolism of the heaven/hell concepts. Faith can enable the most mundane person to achieve the greatest heights. I feel sorry for the sad lot that have none. And it might be easy to mock faith and those who have it, but the greater is the one with faith who choses not to insult those who lack it." He orders another shot and downs it.

Kathy had quickly bored of the tour that Horus was giving her, her noise wrinkling in distaste as each room he led her into was more depraved than the last. This was a shock to kathy as of one time she would have revelled in the debauchery and the open sex that was taking place, but now....well now there was gabriel and that was all she needed.

As she walked through the club she frantically sought him, hoping to fell him presence among the crowd. The smell of sex and pure lust hit her nostrils making them flare as she pushed her way through the dancing throng.

She ignored the comments she got and if in a different situation, the people that brushed their hands against her as she squeezed past them would have lain dead at her feet, their throats ripped open. But no....she had to protect the masquearade and it simply would not do if she broke them just for the mere pleasure of taking her anger at herself out on someone else.


As she walked up the spiral stairs she felt a familar twinge in her body and her senses reeled, almost making her stumble as she felt him.
Her hand clutched the ballistrade as she steadied herself, swearing to herself that she would find him.

She followed the noise of drunken revellers down the lavish corridor and stood in the shadows she saw him. Her nostrils flared in anger at him, the way he would not confront her with what she had done, if indeed he did know, for all she knew it was just pure jealous and accusations that had made him so offhand with her. But at the same time, her body yearned him, needed to feel safe and warm in his arms.

"Gabriel?"

Follwoing her the entire way, Horus feels that something ahs gone wrong with letting Gabriel out of his sights, Starring at the help that lies motionless on the floor, "thessse are going to have to be replaced." he Hisses Following them into the room that Kathy just entered. "Well look what we Have here," he Hisses staring Gabriel deep in the eyes, (level one Serpteinsis) "You Know it'ssss really not nice to walk in and ssstart to Kill people, THessse where perfectly good people here, and know you've ended them." perhaps you two loversss Sssshould find Another place to go before I Do as you Have Done to my help." His forked tongue flickers with his eyes still locked on Gabriel.

"Unlessss you wish to be ignoreant and SSstand your ground here." He slowly starts to pace around the Door, "you've got a choice to make, Don't you?" No lossing ey contact with Gabriel he walks to the sercuity pannel, and hits a switch, sending the message out to get someon in here to clean up a mess, "Sssso what Will it be, Gabriel?" His Voice hisses sharply.

"Why fall for such arcane symbolism when we live our Hell on Earth. Every night we wake to this... pitiful existince amongst the cattle. And for what purpose? Well, I have given myself that purpose. Not to sit as a drone for the elders to play with. I am my own messenger. my own master.", she says, her glare stern at Griq.

He grins as he turns from his drink. "Not everything is as it seems and not all of us are mere puppets of the elders. Don't assume that because I belong to a specific group that i'm like the rest of them." He orders another shot and has the bartender leave the bottle. "We all have secrets, it's what some of us live on. And of all the secrets out there, one like me holds on to his carefully. I'm sure you have many you hold on to and don't often let be known." He winks and pours a shot.

"Oh, but you reek like the rest of these... this sustenance. As though... It disgust me. The thought that you can so easily converse with your prey.", she says with an obvious look of disgust, "And you think that I am automatically less because of my political affiliation?"
She looks upon him with this questioning glare.

"Not once did I say your political affiliation made you less then me. It just makes you different then myself. Besides, again your assuming. This time you assume to know my political stance. There are many factions out their. How can you be sure which on I am?"

"Well, I don't know. So, touche for you. However, You presume what I am don't you. Is it because of my distinctiveness, my obvious show? something that I have become so very comfortable with."

She gives him the once over before looking back to the dancefloor.
