The death of a Tzimisce

Ricky Prince: Ah, Nestor's strip club. What a beautiful place. Ricky sits at the bar, his wounds having been healed finally. His mood is less then good, as he scans the place for someone.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): Her tiny little nose sits between two large green eyes and a very small mouth, all placed on a pale, round face. She is wearing a black and dirty muscle shirt, revealing taut and sure arms and hands. Her painter cut jeans flow around her feet like a samurai, held up by a think black studded belt. Her feet are covered by worn out sneakers. Black leather gloves cover her fists, and written on them respectly are, "I forgive you," and "Life goes on," in dark red stains. Her bleach blond hair frames her face softly and falls to about her shoulders gracefully. She's sitting at a table with a glass of rye in front of her, but it's untouched, of course.

Ricky Prince: 1,8,8,5,10,

Nestor Montenegro: He comes out from the back office, pausing as he sees both Ricky and Tiffany there.

Ricky Prince: He glances up as Tiffany walks in, a slight sneer planted on his face.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She sits there in her usual spot, contemplating nothing in particular. Thinking nothing, her face has a zen quality to it.

Ricky Prince: With a frown, he slides off his bar stool and moves to Tiffany, tapping her on the shoulder. On the way, he looks up at Nestor, giving him the "Business, clear the bar" look.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She looks up, wondering who would bother her. Up close, there is the distinct smell of blood and death about her, like an aura.

Ricky Prince: "Hey." He glares down at her. "We got business to do."

Nestor Montenegro: Nestor whispers to his bartender and then moves to pick up the phone and call the sound booth. The grinding music stops, the girls all stop their gyrations, looking curiously at Nestor, who claps his hands and motions them backstage. The few patrons in the bar groan, but the bartender orders them out.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): "Okay." She pushes her drink away, even though it's full, and slides off the seat. She stands proper and straight before him, waiting for Ricky to explain the business at hand.

Ricky Prince: He looks her over, taking a step back. "I've spoken to the Bishop. He's granted me right of Monomancy over leadership of a pack that no longer exists. Because of you and Tomi."

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): Right at the words 'Monomancy over leadership of a pack', she bolts towards the doors of the place. (init?)

Ricky Prince: ((Yep.))

Nestor Montenegro: He watches this straight faced, no expression at all, other than a look to the bartender that says "Lock the door."

Ricky Prince: 7,

Ricky Prince: ((16))

Nestor Montenegro: (DLP)

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 6,

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((14))

Nestor Montenegro: When Ricky says that, he simply does his best to fade beyond notice behind the bar.

Ricky Prince: ((Gaah, sorry, 6 base, which is why 16 went in. 13. I'm full of typos today))

Ricky Prince: He growls as she bolts, trying to tackle her.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She runs towards the door, full tilt, trying to get there before the bartender does. ((Ath + Dex coming))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 7,8,5,8,4,4,

Ricky Prince: ((BP spent for Cel next turn, also. Str+Brawl as per book))

Ricky Prince: 8,3,2,8,3,5,5,

Nestor Montenegro: ((Bartender not going for the door I deleted that post))

Ricky Prince: Ricky misses the tackle, and Tiffany bolts for the door. ((New Round?))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Sure))

Ricky Prince: He starts chasing after Baby for his actions, intending to catch up and kill her. Even out in the street. ((Another BP for Celerity))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She will rams her way out the door and starts screaming as she runs. Maybe some biker or bystander will play blocker. ((One blood on Dex))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 1,9,10,3,8,3,6,

Nestor Montenegro: Sadly for Tiff, when Nestor says to clear out, people clear ~out~. And fast.

Ricky Prince: 7,3,6,1,9,4,

Ricky Prince: 9,6,1,3,8,5,

Ricky Prince: ((Total 4 successes vs. Tiffany's 3+1 extra success then his Brawl roll at first, which means they're right on each other.))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Correction: first roll was 7,8,5,8,4,4, which is 3 successes, and second roll of Tiff was 1,9,10,3,8,3,6, which is also three successes, I tihnk. Am I wrong?))

Ricky Prince: ((Dex+Athletics basically served as a dodge for Ricky's Str+Brawl. 3 succ on Dex+Ath vs. 2 for Str+brawl = 1 succ left over.))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Next round then?))

Ricky Prince: ((*NOD*)) They're outside on the street, now, and Ricky snarls, running again as he tries to tackle her. ((Blood to Dex))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Blood to Dex again, raising it to the max she can go to, and a WP spent on the roll)) She is running full tilt at the largest crowd she can see in the street. They did just leave, after all. Maybe they'll have cars. Cars with keys in them.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 9,6,6,4,3,4,5,9,

Nestor Montenegro: He sighs and tells the bartender to keep the girls in the back, and moves out to watch the goings on out front.

Ricky Prince: ((WP Spent, Str+Brawl))

Ricky Prince: 1,10,3,5,6,2,1,

Ricky Prince: The tackle misses, and he growls, chasing again for the second action. ((Dex+Athletics))

Ricky Prince: 2,9,9,4,9,6,4,

Nestor Montenegro: Yes, and those cars are all speeding away down various streets.

Ricky Prince: "Ya dumb bitch! Where ya gonna run, huh?" ((New Round))

Ricky Prince: ((Blood to Dex)) He keeps on chasing, determined to chase the bitch down.

Nestor Montenegro: He doesn't seem particularly interested in chasing them, just strolls after them, watching from the corner of the street.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She is single-mindedly focusing on her task at hand. She is running. No thoughts in her mind but running. ((Blood to Stamina, one WP to this roll.))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 4,9,4,7,9,1,3,3,

Ricky Prince: 4,8,2,7,5,2,9,2,

Ricky Prince: As he chases, he yells. "You've just proven yourself honorless, ya bitch! Gonna be bad now!"

Ricky Prince: ((New round))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): No responce. She is simply running. No thoughts but running.

Ricky Prince: More chasing it goes, as claws begin to sprout from his hand. ((Guess where the blood went now?))

Ricky Prince: ((WP on this one))

Nestor Montenegro: He watches.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((One blood to Stamina, raising that to the max as well beside Dex, and one WP is spent on the next roll.)) Running.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 8,2,1,7,8,6,1,4,

Ricky Prince: 9,3,10,2,4,3,10,4,

Nestor Montenegro: 5,10,8,4,4,

Nestor Montenegro: He can sort of make out their forms down the street.

Ricky Prince: ((New Round; Blood to Celerity for next round)) A grin, anticipating, as he catches up. Time for an attack. He brings his claws to bear, to rip into her back.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She is running, knowing that she still has a good bit of distance between them yet. He's big and male, so he can't be that fast. ((Blood on Strength, WP to this roll))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 6,3,10,5,6,7,3,6,

Ricky Prince: ((Dex+brawl, WP spent))

Ricky Prince: 7,1,7,7,6,2,4,8,

Ricky Prince: A snarl as she evades his swipe.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): Wind on back. Not good. Must run faster.

Ricky Prince: ((Round 6)) A snarl, and he books the speed. Bitch isn't getting away. ((Blood to celerity, Dex+Athletics for first action))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((BP on Strength, and last WP on this roll.)) Running. Running running running.

Nestor Montenegro: 8,3,8,2,7,

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 8,5,3,4,7,3,1,7,

Nestor Montenegro: Oh, look, they're running under a streetlight now. He watches.

Ricky Prince: 2,7,4,6,5,9,6,4,

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She's run out of her strength to go on, and she knows she's done for.

Ricky Prince: Ahh, he's almost there. ((Dex+Athletics; gotta get 4 more to catch up))

Ricky Prince: 7,6,4,5,8,5,3,7,

Ricky Prince: ((New Round; Blood to Cel, and we're about in Frenzy here)) Hah. Bitch goin' down... ((Dex+Athletics to chase for first action))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): Running, but she just ain't into it like before. ((Blood to Strength.))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 2,3,8,1,10,8,5,7,

Ricky Prince: ((Spending WP; 1 left))

Ricky Prince: 6,5,9,7,4,9,7,5,

Ricky Prince: Killin' time. ((Dex+Brawl))

Ricky Prince: 3,6,6,8,7,2,7,7,

Ricky Prince: ((6 succ. Damage = Str+1+5 for the extra succ, Agg))

Ricky Prince: 8,9,7,4,4,8,8,1,4,9,

Ricky Prince: ((5 Agg))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She can't soak agg, so she's hitting the ground hard.

Ricky Prince: ((New Round)) And he leaps onto her. Fuck the bystanders...she's brought him down quite a ways. "Shoulda gone for the quick n' easy, like Tomi. Now, you're food." ((Dex+Brawl to bite, not to cause damage, but for the Kiss))

Ricky Prince: 7,5,3,8,4,7,4,5,

Nestor Montenegro: 8,10,7,2,10,

Ricky Prince: ((Sorry, first action was fro grapple to bite))

Nestor Montenegro: Wow,they must be on a little hill, backlit by the boulevard or something. He's got a good view to the kill.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): She going to roll onto her feet and try to run again before he jumps on her. ((Figure that would be a multiple action, or just one athletics roll?))

Ricky Prince: ((That would be multiple, dodge, then Athletics. So -4 for Dodge, -5 for Athletics. That's including all wound penalties already))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): Okay, then she's just going to roll onto her feet before he pounces. That is, the dodge.

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 3,6,3,6,

Ricky Prince: Got her. It's bitin' time. ((Dex+brawl, bite))

Ricky Prince: 7,2,4,5,1,3,6,7,

Ricky Prince: He bites in and tastes blood, starting to drink from her.

Ricky Prince: ((Self+Control vs. 8 to avoid succumbing to the Kiss, per p. 139))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): 7,

Ricky Prince: AAAND start drinking he does. ((Drinks 2 BP per round, Tiff had 3 left, correct?))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Most likely not even that. Expect her to be dry next round.))

Ricky Prince: And down she goes ((Per Diablerie rules, must now roll Str vs. 9. Any botch and the diablerie fails. 7 succ must be gained.))

Ricky Prince: ((And BP to Strength this round to max out at 5))

Tiffany (Ghetto Barbie): ((Good luck!))

Ricky Prince: 5,4,7,5,9,

Ricky Prince: 2,7,7,9,8,

Ricky Prince: 2,5,9,10,10,

Ricky Prince: 7,3,5,4,2,

Ricky Prince: 10,7,5,2,4,

Ricky Prince: 6,9,1,7,4,

Ricky Prince: ((Whoo, that was close...))

Ricky Prince: 4,7,8,10,2,

Ricky Prince: ((7 successes gained.))

Nestor Montenegro: Six running rounds away, he simply watches. Because, well, it's not his fight. Plus...he's a coward and all that.

Ricky Prince: ((Now, Humanity vs. 10 - Path Rating (4) to avoid Frenzy. Instinct vs. 6))

Ricky Prince: 4,8,

Ricky Prince: And as Tiffany crumbles to nothingness, he lets out a truimphant howl. Justice has been served tonight, Sabbat-style.

Nestor Montenegro: Yeah, he's kinda like those monkeys in the trees on the Discovery channel, who watch the leopard catch another monkey and just watch, really glad it's not them.

dust: Scatters across the street.

Ricky Prince: And, sated, he turns around, retracting his claws as he heads back to the bar.

Nestor Montenegro: Uh-oh. It's coming toward him. He turns around and heads back inside the bar.

Ricky Prince: Into the bar he heads, brushing dust off his clothes. He looks to Nestor, eyes flashing a little from the exultation of Amaranth. "Next time ya see the Bishop, couldja tell him I'd like a word? Just in case you see him 'fore I do?"

Nestor Montenegro: He nods. "Si, senor. You need a drink for the road?" He motions to the backstage door.

Ricky Prince: He shakes his head, chuckling. "Naah. I've got my fill for the night. Adios, cabrito." He turns and heads out, into the night. Gotta find Salvatore.

Nestor Montenegro: He nods, breathing a massive sigh of relief when the man heads out.
