Contract 28 [Action/Accidental Video]

[servessithis]

[Vicente walks along town, sampling a few pieces of fruit he bought at the market. He pauses to look into a store window, curious at the Thanksgiving decorations that are on sale.]

Interesting.

[A guy standing near him then lights up a cigarrete. Vicente lets out a scared yelp and jumps back, relexively throwing a minor frost spell at the man's face before dashing off.

Once he's run off a few more blocks and turned a corner, he stops, putting a hand to his heart.]

[OOC: So, in addition to garlic, Vicente hates fire. In his world, vampires are weak against fire.]

[Angua hasn't talked to Vicente since that one curse. She'd been watching him, but no contact. Until now, but it's just as well, she's cursed again, anyway and doesn't remember him at all.]

How perilous. That was quite a close call you had.

[Oh, it's her. Surely by now the awkwardness has passed.]

Ahem, quite.

You came within an inch of your life.

You're not human.

What was the man thinking? Lighting a match out in the open?

I am not.

[Video]

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he was suggesting you needed to go for a run.

What are you? You aren't like any race I've seen.

[Video]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Quite plainly, I am a vampire. More specifically, I am a Breton who long ago became a vampire.

[Video]

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

You're like no vampire I know. What is a Breton?

[Video]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

And just how many vampires do you know?

A Breton is one of the races of men from my world.

[Video]

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

Enough.

A race aside from vampire?

[Video]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Any race in my world may become a vampire, from humans to elves to the beast races. I am still a Breton by birth.

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

An elf? [That mental image is so very wrong.] That is quite fascinatingly different.

[Is watching this with much amusement, taking note of it.]

It seemed more than a simple startle. Are you all right, brother.

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

That flame was very close to my person.

[jiyuna_togabito]

A cast of ice. Interesting and different. What else is there you do?

[private video:]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

It was a reflex. I know many forms of magic, and a few vampire powers. We Bretons are natural mages.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Explains Luke's interest.]

Is that so.

[private video:]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Still, I am no trained mage.

[jiyuna_togabito]

I've yet to ask you of your obsession with this Night Mother. Care to explain?

[private video:]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

She is the patron saint of our organization. I have every reason to worship her after the Brotherhood gave me a home and family.

[jiyuna_togabito]

Ah, the good child, simply carrying out his mother's wishes as a return in favor, is that it? An endless debt. An obligation built on guilt which drives you to act on her behalf.

[private video:]

[servessithis.livejournal.com]

I carry out Mother's wishes, yes, and carry out her will even in this world. However, guilt has nothing to do with it.

You would do well to remember the First Tenet, Brother.

[He gave a little bow of his head though that smirk of his never left his lips.]

Of course, Brother...
