Raconteur City: At The Midnight Society (Scarlett, NPC Prince Vespasian, Hollywood, Elisiana)
|
(Scarlett MacAleister) Elisiana. She'd heard the name in vampire?circles but?did not know this woman.?An elder vampire to be certain, but little more about her life or whom she associated with. Vespasian was somewhat frustrating. He¡¯d given Scarlett little to go on and for what might be necessary to gain a confession or at the very least details about co-conspirators, he¡¯d given her little of the way of sanctioning. In all likelihood, the prince didn¡¯t want to know how she obtained the information from Elisiana. As a Protector she was trained in ways to force a confession from not only humans, but from vampires. It was no pleasant¡something Scarlett did not enjoy and wasn¡¯t sure she¡¯d be able to apply that training here. She wasn¡¯t sure she still had the stomach for such an interrogation. Hell, she wasn¡¯t even sure if the new prince would allow it. ¡°I will require a standard interrogation kit,¡± Scarlett said. ¡°They are issued to Protectors. I no longer have one. I may have to resort to torture my prince. It is not my first choice, but it is among my skillset. Is that acceptable?¡± (NPC Vespasian) "I will ensure you have what you need. And as I said, I leave what you need to do, in your hands. Now," he reached under his desk and pushed the button to summon Hollywood. "my head of security will escort you to the prison cells. Ask her for what you need and she will take you to get what you need. Any other questions." (Hollywood) Hollywood had just stepped back into the armory when the light for her flashed again. She shook her head and headed back to the Prince's office. She knocked then entered. "You summoned me, Prince?" She saw the red head and wondered if she was also needing to be escorted out of the building. The Prince explained who the woman was and what was needed. With a nod, Hollywood turned to Scarlett. "This way." She lead the woman out of the office and down the hallway. Going to speak to Elisiana just became easier and more difficult all at the same time.? Tag: Scarlett? |

Going to speak to Elisiana just became easier and more difficult all at the same time.? (Scarlett) Scarlett followed Hollywood as they took several staircases down into the bowels of the Midnight Society building. Soon, they were in the underground portion of the old structure. Here was where the crypts were kept, jail cells and various rooms used for vampire secret meetings and other secret gatherings. When they arrived at the cell a member of the staff awaited them, a young male vampire who stood hold a leather satchel which he handed to Scarlett. "The prince asked me to bring you these," the youth said, extending his hands to deliver the satchel to Scarlett. "They are the Protector's tools you requested." Scarlett gave a nod and the boy bowed slightly before turning and leaving. With the satchel slung over her shoulder, she looked at Hollywood. "I'm ready whenever you are." The redhead hoped she would not have to use Protector interrogation techniques to get answers from the assassin. It had been nearly a century since she'd had to resort to such methods, and it was something she did not find palatable. Still, in order to find out who ordered the attempt on Vespasian -- and whoever it was trying to draw Scarlett into this mess -- she knew she might have to do whatever was necessary. |

(Hollywood) Hollywood stood outside the cell door for a moment trying to decide what to do. Finally, she turned to Scarlett. "I want to speak with the prisoner for a moment. Please wait out here." She said and then opened the door slightly and slipped inside. Once the door was closed she moved to the small sink inside and turned the water one to drown out hers and Eli's words from the vampire on the other side. "Elisiana, I am turning on the lights." She said before doing so, as it was almost pitch black and didn't want to cause either one of them sudden night blindness. As the lights switched on, Hollywood closed her eyes some to allow the light to slowly enter them. She looked around and found Eli sitting on the cot. "Hello, Elisiana." Tag: Eli, Scarlett |

How ya doing mommy.¡± (New Scarlett) The redheaded vampire was surprised when Hollywood told her to wait outside and stepped into the room where the would-be?assassin was being held. Scarlett was a little annoyed at the move but?was still growing accustomed to the situation she'd suddenly been thrust into. Did she have the full powers of a Protector? Who was Hollywood and what kind of authority did she have here?? Inside the room she heard the water come on and frowned. It was a famous way to drown out the sound of a conversation inside a room when someone was listening at the door. For now Scarlett would wait, but she was now suspicious?of Hollywood and her role in this whole thing. (tag) |
