Meeting of James and Gavin

<describe warehouse where he is kept – dark and dank…. He is chained to the wall, and on the other side – directly across from him he sees a Lupine – in full Lupine form – also chained to the wall.  The Lupine seems to be struggling against the chains, and as he struggles, the flesh around its wrists seem to sizzle>

You have been here a few days – every so often a kid comes in with a tranq gun and shoots at the Lupine from a distance.  The Lupine stops struggling and falls asleep.

You hear the kid say to the other..

Kid – Why do we have to keep these ones alive anyway – its just a hassle..

Man in the back – Just do it – we don’t make the rules we just do what we are told.

Kid – if you ask me, it’s a waste…

The daylight comes within inches of you – you have rarely ever been awake during the day, and now, in this situation, you cannot seem to sleep.  Every 8 hours or so – the lupine is awake again, and every 8 hours or so someone comes in to tranq it again.

Finally, 8 hours have passed and the Lupine is not tranqued – you are not sure why this is.

After a while – Gavin comes inside …

G – Good evening! You must be James – it is a pleasure to meet you.  I would bend down to shake your hand, but you see – I do not like to get dirty =)

<….>

G – James you may be wondering why you are here.  We could have killed you, as soon as we found you – but unfortunately for you – it so happens that at the moment, I need a Camarilla vampire to aid me.  And guess who the Lucky volunteer is!

<….>

G – You have seen this man, correct? <shows him a picture of Darwin>

G – I believe you know him as a Prince – Prince Darwin of Palm Beach, correct?  Well, I will need you to find out some information about him for me.  What he is up to, what he is doing, what he knows – that type of thing….

He walks over to the Lupine who is growling and trying to attack him even from his chains…

G – You know, when someone has lived as long as I have, you pick up a few things here and there.  Me? Im a student of people – I like to study them.  To see how they react to things.  And do you know what I have found – it is that no matter which “person” you are dealing with, Lupine, human, Vampire – all of them – no matter who – they all react the same way to things they fear.  And do you know which way that Is? It is irrationally.  People who are terrified, will do horrible things to themselves and to those they love – all in the name of fear.  They will kill them in the process of saving them – it is quite amazing, actually! Did you know that? <smile>

G – You see, my research has been quite extensive in this area.  When I first started out, centuries ago, my goal was to become the most depraved, sick and sadistic vampire on the face of the earth. It was more of a dream really… I tried – desperately tried – in every way possible – and when I say every way – I mean every way – to do that – to make my dream come true.  And do you know what it is I learned?

G – I learned, that no matter what I do – what I can dream up to do to someone – no matter how horrible and terrible it is – it is never – NEVER – as terrible as what people will do themselves in a moment of fear.  Its amazing! It is infuriating actually, <Chuckle>

G – Take these Lupines for example.  Brute creatures.  One on one most vampires do not hold a candle to them.  <makes breaking motiong> DONE! Where’s the fun in that?  But if you take all of the rage that they feel, all of this raw animal power and turn it against them – what happens? <whispers> Lets find out!

G – You see, these creatures, believe that vampires are creatures of “EVIL” – well they’re right.  We are.  But  they believe that there is an evil worm – I mean an actual worm – behind it all.  Like this great big worm is pulling the strings.  I mean crazy <whispers and mocks> a worm…

He puts his hand over the lupine and whispers something in a language you do not understand.  <MARAA PRA TA SARAA>

The Lupine stops struggling and gets silent for a minute.

G – Now, this great big – GGRRR – brute powerful creature – is afraid of a little worm! Can you believe that?

The Lupine looks almost dazed – he walks over and removes the cuffs from the Lupine.  He then walks back up to James and sits next to him.

G – Whispers – and they are terrified – that somehow – they would be infected by this worm.  Its such a bad plot – it almost seems like there should be a movie about it – the great worm threat!

G – And if there was – I wonder if this is how it would go…

<MARAA>

The Lupine stands up and stretches and lets out a fierce howl.  He takes one step towards you and stops.  He looks down at his mid-section, at his claws and howls.  Then he starts to scratch at his own arms and then looks down on his midsection and screams/howls and starts to scratch at it with his claws.  He literally claws his own belly out, and you see his guts spill out and finally, it falls to the floor dead.

<Gavin Claps>

G – I give it an 8 – what about you?

< …. >

Gavin looks down on the dead lupine on the floor –

G – Boy – what a mess! Well anyway – I got sidetracked there for a minute – but back to business.  I need you to find out information for me.  There is a friend of a mine, a dear dear friend, named Pedro – and I need to know if this Prince Darwin of yours, did something to him or knows what has happened to him.  You will do this for me, won’t you?

<….>

Gavin kneels in front of you – smiles

G – Just a minor disclaimer that I feel the need to tell you about – I do not need to be near you or in the same room as you to make your nightmares come to life.  I can do that from anywhere.  I can make you walk outside in the middle of the day thinking its night – I can make you cut your own insides out just like I did this Lupine.  Trust me when I tell you, I can reach into your mind and pull out the deepest and darkest horrors you can ever imagine and make you live out every single one of them.  I tend to do these things when I am … disappointed.

G – You wouldn’t want to dissapoint me now, would you James?  I get cranky when I am disappointed.

G – Now – just because I know you Camarilla types – you don’t like to do anything alone and you feel that you need to call in the cavalry to help or do the group hug thing – well lets just say that I want to make sure that you keep this project between you and me.  Without inviting anyone else into the Mix.  And because I want you to succeed, I am going to help you!

<Maraa – pra – di – saree – malamista…>

He whispers this to you and you feel a chill down your spine.  Your skin crawls almost and you feel suddenly that there is something under your skin. Then you feel a sharp pain in your head, and you almost pass out.  After a few seconds, it subsides.

G – You still with me, James?  Good – curses can take a lot out of you – but you! – what a trooper!  Now, I just want you to know that if you decide to run off and tell any of your little Camarilla friends about our arrangement or about me for that matter – Bad things will happen to you – so please think twice before you do that.

G – Well look at the time – I got places to be, people to skin, all kinds of things to do – so I have to go – but I want you to know – that I have really enjoyed our time today.  I will be in contact with you.

He walks over to the stairs – NATHAN – come here please.   A young man comes down the stairs – Boss?

G – Nathan – do you see that Lupine there?

N – Ewww – what happened here?

<Gavin whispers something toward Nathan>

G – He killed you – ripped your heart right out…

Nathan starts to scream and you see blood pouring out of his mouth and his chest like his heart was literally ripped out of his chest and then he falls dead in front of you.

G – Now your turn..

He looks at James and raises his hand and once again says <MAAAHAAAA>.

James feels like something is beating the absolute crap out of him.  Leaves his bruised and with gashes in his face and arms.

G – Looks at James – Now that should help you come up with some kind of story, eh? You do this for me, and I will release you from this curse – don’t and live forever with it – and trust me – you really do not want that..…<raises both eyebrows> – SEE YA!

Gavin walks out leaving James bloodied and locked up down here with 2 dead bodies.
