((sorry folks...hehe my bad...okay...i'll post somethin....give me a few minutes here...

DING DING DING DING......
The car's open door chime rang out into the night. Gabriel and the Former Prince bolted from the Audi and shot off into various alleyways.
Gabriel allowed his body to quicken to it's fullest potential, at the same time willing time to slow down. The world began to drag slightly. As he shot past buildings and the steel structures that made up the concrete jungle, Gabriel saw the slight trail they left in the air.
As he hastened down a brick alleyway he saw up ahead a dead end...a large wall blocking his way. Still moving rapidly he glanced behind him, two hulking masses growled and snapped behind him. Gabriel leapt at the wall and caught the top.
He began to pull himself over but just as he was drawing his second foot over he felt a horrible THWAP! The force of the blow sent Gabriel cartwheeling in the air, the world spiraling around him. Shooting pains pulsated through his left leg. He landed on the wet cement with a thud and immediantly pulled himself up.
The alleyway was dark and dingy, but he had made it over the wall. The Garou, however, had done the same and now stood in front of him snarling. Gabriel looked around desperately for anything he could find. The sun threatened to be up at any moment.
He spotted a small drainage grate and made his way towards it, the Garou advancing on him. Willing his muscles to become more effective he tore three of the cast iron bars off the grate. At the last moment he slid into the drainage grate.
He landed with a splash in the sewer water. Slowly he glanced around expecting to find feces and other garbage awash. But he saw none...this was not a waste sewer, this was a water runoff. Gabriel thanked God for small favors and head off around the corner eventually running into the Former Prince and the City Gangrel....

((YAY! Ok, at least we knoe what happened with Gabe, not an especially long post, but cool nonetheless. Ok, The storyline will continue, at least until we get the blade to the tremere, Gabe will have to take part in that. Ok, I'm bored so let's make a vote, post in here your opinion: Should the storyline continue after the tremere, or not.

~batty~

((I got an avataar! I got an avataar!

Thorp smiled as the familiar figure approached them. Gabriel seemed tired, he had been obviously chased by Garou as well. Thorp's initial garou count had been wrong, or maybe they wanted him to count wrong...
"Did not expect to find you here. I'm glad I did." Gabe mumbled, staring hungrily at the bags of garou blood the Cappadocian had been collecting.
"You get one. And that's it!" Batgirl mumbled as she threw the Ventrue a bag, putting away the remaining.
Gabe drank the whole bag, invigorated by the powerful lupine vitae, and smiled contemptly.
"Hey Thorp, when was the last time you bathed?" Gabe used their greeting ritual.
"I dunno, 40, 50 years. Altough your not so clean yerself." Thorp touchéd
The City Gangrel smiled as Gabe winced, sniffing his own clothes.
"Goddamn sewers." The Ventrue mumbled.
"Ok, I'm done here..." Batgirl said standing up, leaving the once garou bodies totally irecognizable((ah, spelling!)).
"We'll stay here until sundown." Thorp stated, not really asking, waiitng for a reply..

((ok, reply

((Argh, sorry, I kinda came up with a twist, hope ya don't mind..tell me if anything is off...

Thorp raised his hand, Gabriel was about to reply to his question but had stopped by the city gangrel's gesture.
"Footsteps...can't tell how far away, damn sewer acoustics, but its definetley humanoid." Thorp mumbled distractedly, his gangrel ears catching the f"Can't you smell what it is?" Batgirl inquired
"No, the sewer is a crappy place to catch scents, and my nose isn't used to it..shh..it's getting closer."
Both the Cappadociana and the Ventrue turned towards the sound, they could already hear it.
"What should we do?" Batgirl asked, hesitating into pulling out her weapon or concealing her cappa work with the bodies.
"Too late, we'll be able to see it in seconds...be ready." Gabe answered, not pulling out a weapon but preparing himself to..
"Kindred, I mean you no harm, I come in peace.." The human voice resonated in the sewer walls, a male human voice. The steps got closer and from the tunnel's far end Thorp's eyes caught the figure. A male in his twenties, not kindred, at least by his looks, Thorp couldn't quite catch his smell yet, the sewer fragrance masking almost everything, and the blood by Batgirl's feet didn't help either.
"Identify yourself!" Gab shouted at the figure, obviously not comfortable with it.
"I mean you no harm, I only want to chat..." The male walked slowly, both his hands in the air.
Graventhorp finally caught the figure's scent, very very weak but there, the garou paw still in his hand fell with a splash...

((sorry, have to quit here, I'll post what happens next soon.

((errr...one little thing....Ventrue have blood preferences, they only drink ONE kind of blood. Gab's is virgin's blood. He won't drink anything else...no matter what.

((cool!!!! ::has an idea::

Batgirl tossed a single pouch containing the blood of the Garou to Gabriel and watched him drink quickly. She looked back to Thorp who was now listening carefully to sounds and sniffing the air trying to ascertain what the approaching creature was.

She casually glanced back to Gabriel just in time to see him quickly discard the blood, he hadn't drank it at all, the ungrateful and snobbish kindred had only given the illusion that he did. Batgirl glared menacingly at Gabriel but remained silent, this was no time for the coterie to turn on each other, they needed each other to stay alive.

Suddenly a figure appeared in the sewers in front of them... a mortal!

"I mean you no harm, I only want to chat..." said the young man. Batgirl gripped her dark sword, prepared to slice off his head. She jumped slightly as the Garou paw Thorp was holding fell to the ground with a splash.

"Stay back or die!!" she hissed, drawing her sword. She knew he'd have to die either way... or become one of them for the protection of the Masquerade. She did not want any more childer so death would come to this mortal sooner than he realised.

~batty~

((jesus christ thats STILL going...goddamn...well atleaste i havent missed uch since i moved..lol

Lathirous looked up and down the vampires.
Welcome... and i hope you come in peace because if not then the master of the sewers will be upset. but for now not knowing i will go under the pretences that you are here under diress and not by choice. If you will follow me i can show you a safer place to Rest.

Batgirl lowered her sword and furrowed her brow at Thorp. He shrugged to her in reply and turned to face Gabriel.

"You're Lathirous, you work for Drain don't you?" quizzed Gabriel.

"I will take you to more comfortable quarters" Lathirous stepped over the mutilated Garou bodies with exaggerated disdain. "I suppose you expect me to clean up your mess?"

Batgirl didn't answer, she was tired, in need of a bath and wanted nothing more than to get away from Gabriel and Thorp. Her night was going so well until their intrusion at Cappacata.

The small coterie followed the ghoul through the network of sewers, pausing only to climb down access ladders or through small doors or drain covers. Every turn led them further into darkness, their surroundings seemed familiar but then everything underground looked the same.

Lathirous motioned for the trio to walk ahead of him through the last doorway which lead directly into Drain's haven. He bolted the door behind them.

"Master I found them, just as you said I would" said Lathirous to Drain.

Gabriel stepped forward to shake Drain's hand warmly. Thorp was preoccupied with their new surroundings, his eyes were darting around the room, his nose visibly twitching as he sniffed the aroma of the Nosferatu lair. Batgirl walked past Thorp and bowed to Drain.

"You broke my door" hissed Drain.

"That was Thorp and two rather disgruntled Garou" replied Batgirl with a smirk.

"My traps have to be reset" he spat.

"Aye and we're grateful for your traps Drain, without them the Garou would surely have brought us final death" she glanced at Thorp, remembering how he had passed out moments before the sharp blades on the trap sliced the Garou into evenly shaped pieces.

"You made a mess in my sewers... in my DOMAIN" he snapped.

"And you will be fully compensated Drain" said Gabriel as he took his wallet out of his jacket pocket. "How much do we owe you?"

Drain's eyes lit up at the sight of the Ventrue's wallet, he wiped a small pool of salvia from the corner of his mouth on his sleeve and mumbled a figure. Gabriel handed him double.

Lathirous dragged two delapitated chairs and a wooden box into the room and motioned for the group to sit. Thorp moved quickly to the cushioned chair and sat down. Gabriel eyed the bent deck chair then the rough splintered box. Batgirl nodded to him as she folded her cape and shaped it to use as padding on the box. The look of gratitude vanished from Gabriel's face as soon as the deck chair collapsed under his weight.

"I thought you said you'd lead us to a comfortable quarters? I seem to be on the ground again." muttered Gabriel obviously tired and cranky.

Thorp stiffled a laugh, he was sure Drain would charge Gabriel for breaking his chair too but both Drain and Lathirous ignored the comment.

"I see you still have Lupus Mortis... I wondered how long it would take for you to seek answers from me..."

((I'm not sure if this is how ppl planned it to go, I'll leave it here for someone to continue :grin:
