Wars of Shaede
~ A DARK MODERN FANTASY GANG WAR - WHERE THE WAR OF THE KIN OVERFLOWS ~
ARC . 001
- Sinners in Lamb's Clothes -
[fieldbox="NIGHTLY NIGHTMARES, skyblue, dashed, 10"]
It was a night that many would remember as the fateful turn in the tides – when the tenuous strings of peace were cut or frayed and the descent into madness of war would begin. Accusations and threats friends turned enemies and new enemies rearing their ugly heads. It was a night that so many would remember and so many would even blame. And yet, still this night was both confusing and clarifying in it actions. War was on its way and even a Sinner hiding in Lamb's Clothes would be dragged into the light of justice if they only but stepped out of line. Tonight would change things for the Kindred forever.[/fieldbox]
- - The city of FranSokyo was beautiful tonight, quiet even and calm for once it would seem. The constant nightly wail of sirens that ran normally in the night were actually being quiet – all was … simple for once. The bar had opened up easily enough the contracted girls for the night already on the floor while the tenders manned the counter in the Viri'Descent. Blu was out for the moment though. She'd made for the city streets and back way alleys of their home district, the South Side.
- - She was wearing a pair of low slung black hip huggers a baby doll T under a half waist length jacket. Her heeled boots made soft even echoes down the alley as she made her way. She was taking a stroll nothing more nothing less, a stretch of her legs and a sniff of the wind you could say – a thing she did often. Hell Hounds liked to wander and she had a time of staying in one place for long. So walking helped, smokes also helped – but trying to quit the bloody things she was having a time of that too these days.
- - It'd been a year since she'd sworn loyalty to Him – handed her collar over and Leashed her bond to Him. Forever more she was his servant but a relaxed and calm master He'd been so far. Giving her free reign of the South Side and even allowing her to work as an equal within the clan. A privilege.30 she'd never imagined earning during her bleak time spent in the 2nd Ring. Don't think of it… she heard his words like he was there beside her. She smirked and brushed away the long strands of raven blue hair away and to the side to peer with crimson eyes down the alley she strolled.
- - What was this?
- - The smell of blood tainted her pallet and caused her crimson eyes to glow all the brighter a growl followed involuntarily up her throat as her Other Half rose up to take a deeper drag of the copper tang. Blood and a lot of it was riding the air through this alley. Visceral scents that caused her steps to fall silent, a swing of her stride as she prowled forward and stepped towards the shadows. Bright red eyes leering down the way reflected eerily as a squad car's lights beamed down and the flicker of red white blue greeted her around the corner.
- - Blinking and lifting her eyes up to look the car dead on she realized the doors were open on either side and no one was to be seen … at least not standing. She lowered her hand red eyes reflected for a moment longer before her gaze turned downward and sure enough as she approached the last of the stretch between herself and the scene a ghastly view came to greet her.
- - Viscera – ripped and shredded flesh scattered amongst the filth of the alley's floor was already swarmed with the smells of rot and insects. Something that would make a grown man gag she looked on as if looking about a garden. Something was wrong with this scene – firstly this was Kindred work, these bodies had been torn apart. Secondly there were not bullet casing heres nor was there the smell of gunpowder.
- - What was more troubling though was the fact tha the bodies were still mostly … all here from what she could tell taking inventory about the alley she noted roughly 12 people here. She couldn't believe not a Single bullet or gun had been fired here, what was more, the squad car was here, and yet… she saw and smelled no Pigs here. Growling she lifted her eyes and realized her folly a moment to late. The squad car was pointed in her direction … a dash board camera's red light winked at her. With a growl she would vanish in a blur of motion from the viewfinder's gaze.
- - Seconds later the feed on the camera was ripped free. . . .
- - Meanwhile the City News channels were all blaring and showing a loop of repeating moments from the very event Blu had just stumbled upon. The feed was replaying it all over and over, dark shadowy forms moving faster than possible to a Morte's viewpoint creatures – monsters something was killing men right on the screen while the reports steamer blared SOUTH SIDE MAN SLAUGHTER over and over again. The final clip of the scene looping over and over was of Blu just before she vanished standing in plain view all lit up pretty and perfect by the squad cars lights. Again and again this played on…
- - It was Everytte who realized shit was going down. He'd noticed a hack extending into the media channel's just before the network had flickered and pulled this shit up! He himself was in his Dungeon at the Academy – hovering monitors floating about him as brightly glowing cyan blue eyes turned around the room staring from one monitor to the next. Lifting his hands and typing on dead space a keyboard would light beneath his hand no matter where was of which monitor he was facing he seemed to have access to all of them.
- - A young secretary like woman with long blue hair and bright purple eyes peeked into the Dungeon and called out "Ever … what is happening do you kn…"
- - "Yeah yeah I see shut the fuck up and let me work. I've gotta cut the damned feed and these bastards are tricky…" The woman glared at him for only a second then slunk into the room to perch on the rim of his circular bubble of monitors. "So they are giving you a hard time?" She asked
- - "I didn't say that… I said they are Tricky HA! And got em!" He lifted his hand an a hologram lifted from it what looked like a tiny black bird made of various triangles lifted and zipped into the monitor before him. A generic virus that would hunt down the source of the original hack he called simply BLK BIRD. Then turning he dragged his hand across the screen and tossed the images that slide into holograms down into a contraction strapped to his fore arm. Standing and turning to face the purple eyes woman the lanky 18 year old looking young man stopped and quirked a brow at her "What are you serious right now ? GO we're going to have a meeting shit get outta'meh dungeon! Shoo" He started hustling her out and slamming the door behind him would spring off down the hall of the basement level. High top converse shoes echoing down the hall as he ran on.
- - This meant a Conclave Meeting – shit that meant all the LightStalker Clans in one place. What the hell was with that feed anyways? He'd gotten it off the air sure enough, but how in the hell … no what in the hell was going on? That looked almost like Ghoul Work – then Blu had showed up – oh he knew the Hell Hound sure enough but he also knew she wasn't so reckless to do something like that. Run ins with her were … interesting.
- - Turning a corner and vaulting into the elevator he pressed several buttons waiting and noticing the blue haired woman coming he finally pressed a thumb to the key pad and forcing his own energy into the primitive tech- asked the doors to shut and for it to promptly ignore it's safety restraints. The elevator shot up towards the top floor of the Academy where surely the leaders of their clans were gathering. The Light Stalkers would want his report surely… even though he was a part of their group – he had his own means and motives but was their R&D god so DING top floor and out popped a seemingly junior IT tech Kid who would help save the day and explain all their worried of the Evil Technology away for them.
- - It was getting late and she was still sitting in the studio rooms of the Art Department on the campus of the university in FranSokyo. She'd been working on a chalk piece for nearly 5 hours straight now with music playing in her headphones attached to her phone she was in her own world. Quiet and calm, not a soul in the world around for miles to her; and even so – Something drew her away from her artwork and the still life of animal bones and statue pieces collages with boxes and weird looking gourds.
- - Something like a whisper over her shoulder, a presence that was nothing when searched for brought a young woman with long silvery white blonde hair to turn and look about. She yanked one ear phone out and asked "'E-'Ello?" A heavy irish twang pulled her accent but other wise nothing made a single peep here. She still felt something was to be witnessed though turning her pale pink hazel brown eyes to the screen of her phone. A Red Alert was scrolling announced from the school. That meant hundreds of things but once she clicked on it she saw the report looping on the net works. She gasped holding a hand to her face as she watched as one by one a group of people were practically ripped apart on camera.
- - Why was this playing?!?!? Where were the network heads who pulled the plug on this sorta shit. Why was she still watching? She couldn't take this. Feeling rather sick she still couldn't tear her eyes away. She wanted to hide somewhere just watching this shit. Then suddenly and finally static ruled the network and after clicking a few media outlets she sighed happy to see it was no longer playing. Though even that alone didn't settle her nerves from what she'd seen. "What was that…" she asked.
- - As if in response a word came to mind in a voice that was not her own. ~*Enemy…*~ Wysteria Flynt looked around yelping suddenly had she 'Heard' someone? Or was her mind playing with her. Shaking her head she decided it was time to get a drink and get the hell away from lonely places.
- - Shooking her roommate a text she was surprised when the phone responded only a second after she'd sent the message. Blinking she squinted at the response from her roommate. It was even written funny. "Come Chillax In the ViriDescent! XOXO" what the hell were these X's and O's? Her roommate never talked like that… Shrugging she searched the club for it's address and set it to navigate and headed that way.
