MAGE20 - A Moon So Red

[Cade]

He'd been about to reply to Radu, and then Juliet touched him.   His initial response to a vampire breaching his personal space would have been explosive and violent, but before his other hand could drop to Lawgiver's Holster, he stopped himself.   His cobalt blue eyes narrowed, as her fingers still touched him and they seemed to bore into hers.   Anyone reading body language knew his level of discomfort had just increased exponentially.   Still possessed of his intellect, he nodded.   "Assuming our Cabal agrees to do this favor for you, we have the right to request a favor of similar gravity of you, should the need arise; and you will aid us, as we aid you.  That is my recommendation."   

For him to offer that level of trust, were it not for the three being the leaders of their respective factions, it simply wouldn't have happened.  He didn't trust Vampires, but with how serious this was, he felt they'd honor such a request, it was reasonable, after all.  Anyone who knew anything about Cade knew this was remarkable restraint, and fairness on his part, he was actually being respectful...

Juliet smiles and sqeezes his arm."That sounds more than fair. I promise a favor for a favor," She drops her arm to her side and faces Andreas, " Andreas?"

The Sabbat vampire ponders then nods.  "Yes, a favor for a favor."

Religious nutbar Leeches! Lovely! Though a small, rural town in Wyoming, Dubois had a relatively large bohemian artist scene and Kaitlin had had little contact with the deeply religious. Carmilla's reaction had been eerie as fuck and after taking a step back, Kaitlin had restrained herself from lashing out with a strike that would have shattered the quintessence making up the vampire's Pattern. It likely would not have gone over well, assuming Carmilla's 'Master' hadn't warned or protected her somehow.

Kaitlin folded her muscular arms, hard biceps swelling slightly, and gave Cade a sharp nod, finding his suggestion for a favour in turn reasonable, then nodded at the vampires, showing them her agreement as well. As much as it seemed the Leeches were getting the best of the deal, she didn't relish the idea of more of them turning into those... things. Vampires and Demons and... and who knows, Faeries even? Oh my!

Radu nods with satisfied agreement and produces a cell phone. He hands it to Cade. "This has our numbers should you need to get in touch with us personally. These will bypass the usual buffers we keep so we are not bothered. Also you will find the information we have gathered on the gang members we know are part of the Shaitans cult, as well as the areas where the gangs have been most active. We have pulled all of our brethren from these area as well as warned those members of the Kindred who are traveling through the city to avoid them. However there are Kindred whom we do not have control of and who are stupid enough not to heed the warning.

If you encounter Kindred in these areas," he gives questioning look to the Prince and her Sabbat counterpart both of whom nod back," to deal with them as you see fit."

He gestures toward the stairs, "Penny will see you back to your vehicles at the club you were at. Thank you for agreeing to help us in this matter."

As he leads you to the Stairs Carmillia speaks."The blood will flow like rivers, mages, if the source is not found before the full moon rises again, that moon shall be dripping in the blood of our doom."

 

[Genevieve DuFresne]

"Kinky." Genevieve said over her shoulder to Carmillia, in response to her comment before heading down the stairs.

< They approached us in a bar hanging out with the werewolves, so you know they figure that getting us on board is also getting the werewolves on board as they are likely to help us out. This was a two 'fer for them. If what they say is true though, then the devil we know is certainly better than these things trying to move it. Either way, in short order we have made rough allies of the werewolves and are maintaining the peace with the vamps and getting some favors out it, especially for something we were prolly gonna end up doing anyways. So, not bad, really. >

< Sooo.. feel like helping us kill some vampire/demon things? > Genevieve thought over the other, private mental 'line' she had to Tamera.

[Cade]

Having taken the phone, He'd not directly intended to be the negotiator for this, but at least they'd worked out an equitable trade.   Favors from powerful Vampires were not dispensed lightly, and if they lived to collect, well They'd be good marks to have in their favor.   They had to find and eliminate the source before the next full moon, which didn't give them as much time as Cade would like. and he nodded.  "Thank you for your hospitality this evening."   With that he lead the others downstairs, following their Vampire escort.   That could have gone so much worse.   This won't be something we do easily, or without considerable risk.   The rewards, however are quite substantial, though not exactly physical.   Perhaps the werewolves will aid us, perhaps not.  I don't know exactly what we can offer them to aid us, and honestly before we do so, I'd like to test a sample of werewolf blood mingled with this Demonic empowered blood  to see what may happen, before I put them in a bad situation and we end up even worse off.  You all saw what happened when it was a vampire, and I assure you, if it has a similar effect on the werewolves, I'd rather avoid that at all cost.   Any help we can get without great cost is appreciated, but I'd not jeopardize alliances just after creating them.   Granted, those are just my thoughts on this matter.

<You know it sister, let me call Naomi and set up a meet, she gonna wanna to talk.> came back the werewolf's thought tinged with excitement.

Some time later after Penny drops the mages back at the club where Terrence was waiting to take them to to the packs house at the apartment building they had been to before.

Once they arrived there they found that Naomi had summoned the whole pack after hearing Tamera's brief explanation.

Naomi stood when the mages came into the room.

"Welcome brothers and sisters. Tamera brings news of a grave threat to our city. How can we help you?"

[Kaitlin Vandussen]

<If we can get a big enough sample of the demon-leech blood - I can't believe I just thought that! - we should test it on human and mage blood too, just in case. Seems like the Latino gangers have been turned into turbocharged ghouls - that is the term, right? - but who knows if it's started to twist them into actual demons or whatever too.> Kaitlin thought back over the link. She agreed with both of them, that the deal could have gone a lot worse.

"We're gonna muscle and eyes," Kaitlin replied promptly, her gaze flicking from Naomi for a moment to give Terrence standing beside her a quick, appraising and appreciative glance, a brief grin twisting her lips. "Seems like the Latino gangs are getting supernatural help in their turf war with the Vamps. A kind of help the Leeches can't face without risking turning into crazy, ravening monsters that will tear the city apart. I mean, more than they are already. Think, going Hulk, but not as pretty and easy going. We gotta stop them and the supply of the supernatural power, which is demon-vampire blood, apparently."

Kaitlin paused, cocking her head to the side as she considered, then pulled out her phone. "I might know someone who can tell me some about the Latin Gangs, but do you guys know anything about the Pandilleros, where they've set up shop, and... um, er, other gang... stuff?" Her mouth grew tight with a faint reddening to her cheeks as she shifted self-consciously. "Fucking Hell, what do I know? I'm from a tiny town in Wyoming, the only gangs we had were the occasional group of Arapaho or Shoshone and a three hardcore survivalists that lived in a bunker built into a played out mine."
