Contract 23 [video] 4th wall

Oh, this is happening again? Most delightful.

I wonder if anyone I know is here this time, or anyone from my world at all. I do miss the diversity of Tamriel.

[ooc: Anything goes. Threadjacking encouraged.]

A vampire caste system? Most interesting. Nothing like that exists in my world. Back home, all vampires have the power to turn others and vampire variety depends on the province.

I have heard of other feeding methods here, but old habits die hard, I suppose.

That's one way of looking at it, however it is based on inherent power and lineage. It's a system that was more predetermined by nature than by individuals. [Not saying it's the best system but it's hard for lower vampires to argue with vampires that can simply control them by thought. Takes pause at the idea that all vampires could change humans..] That would be far more difficult to police. What sort of vampires are in the various provinces?

Such as?

Most vampires are more or less the same, save for a few differences depending on the region. Vampires of Daggerfall may not enter holy places, for example. Morrowind has three different clans of vampires that specialize in magic, stealth, and strength. I myself am a vampire of Cyrodiil. This means I have certain powers.

I have heard of taverns that serve blood, and some places even give bags of blood.

[He listens quietly as Vicente explains.] Each vampire-- if they're at least a noble has some sort of ability in my world. What kinds of powers do you possess? [Doesn't really expect any cautious vampire to come right out an answer that, but he inquired anyway]

if there's such an infrastructure for it-- you must not be the only one. [And in fact-- he knows you're not] What can you tell me about the other vampires in the City?

That is for me to know. I will tell you that I have the power to see in the dark and see life force, though. [It's a minor power at best, small compared to the major ones.]

I have yet to socialize with the other vampires here. I do know of a few, and they seem quite similar to my kind.

[Smiles faintly at the response. It had been too direct] Yes, of course. It had been rather forward of me.

A pity. There was one in particular i would have been interested to know more about. Especially his usual whereabouts, and his activities.

Oh? And who might that be?

[Muted sigh] ... My uncle.

Your uncle?

Rido Kuran.

[There couldn't be much more veiled venom in those words than there is right now.]

If you've not had any experience with him.. then consider yourself fortunate.

[ooc: sorry, wanted to fix a typo.]

[Rido? Why, he's on Vicente's list of possible Dark Brothers.]

I cannot say that I have.

[ooc: No problem, I would have done that too.]

[Kaname would be interested to know that.]

Mm. [Sensed Rido's presence when he arrived and that's who he's been avoiding. He'd already learned what he needed to know. This vampire before him was not one that needed to be eliminated and there was no information Vicente could provide about Rido.]

He'll use anyone he can to become more powerful. Be leery of him.

[Too bad ratting out members, even potential ones, is agains the Tenets.]

Thank you for the warning.

[It's not unlike home in that regard. If he were in his own world, Kaname would be less open about talking ill of a pureblood]

Think nothing of it.
