Shadowed World[Advanced/PG-16/Not Started/Accepting]

[Spartan919]

Jason exited the limo, his mind still a haze. He had held Dominique for maybe another hour, before he had fallen asleep, and laid his head on hers. He closed his eyes as he recalled that moment...Looking around, Jason tried to see if he could pinpoint where they had ended up...he could not "What do you mean, we have to discuss Dominique's condition with her father?" Jason blinked; Dominique had never said anything about her father; heck, Dominique had never said anything about her family.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Ryt thees wae, Monsieur." Jean-Claude directed, holding open the door.

Dominqiue was starting to wake up, and looked up at the skyscraper.

"Oh! We're at Daddy's building! Jean-Claude, what are we doing here? I thought we were going to the safehouse..."

"No. Yoor fathur rikwested yoor prezense at won oof hees meeteengs." Jean-Claude replied.

A receptionist inside of the doorway smiled, and greeted "Welcome to the National Bank and Trust of-"

She then smelled the two werewolves, and a faint smell of blood and sunscreen entered the noses of Dominique and Jason.

"Well, you must be Mr. deLoup-Garou's daughter and son-in-law-to-be. We've been expecting you." She sneered, showing off her fangs and pale skin.

"Just cut the act, Tanya." Dominique growled. "Jus be happy that the sun's going down."

"Pity my shift just started..." Tanya sighed. "Jean-Claude, you smell delicious tonight." She purred.

"Sowry, mon cherie, boot I pearsoonally lyk beeing human."

"Oh well..." Tanya drifted off as they entered an elevator with only two buttons and a keyhole.

"Dominique's fiance! Welcome to the Foedus Cruorem!" Tanya yelled as the door closed.

[Spartan919]

Jason blinked at the unknown words as the elevator door closed. He noted with a small amount of amusement that the elevator played music, like the ones in all the movies. He glanced at Dominique, and at Jean-Claude, and asked the question that was on his mind. "What is Foedus Cruorem?" He looked at Dominique, and knew that she would be able to answer all of her questions, as he would answer all of hers.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"I honestly don't know. I only learned recently that Tanya was a vampire, and that she, ironically, is a Twilight fan, but I have no idea what-"

Jean-Claude turned the key, causing the elevator to drop like a rock.

After about half a minute, the elevator slowed down and eventually stopped. The doors parted to reveal a vampire and a werewolf standing guard.

"Jean-Claude. Back so soon?" The werewolf asked.

"Ve have gests." He simply stated as they walked down a spotlight-lit path in a room full of darkness.

"Well, I am happy to have Miss deLoup-Garou back with us." The vampire smiled as they proceeded to a conference table illuminated by spotlights. Sitting at the table were a priest, a very old vampire, an equally ancient werewolf, and a man that shared many of the characteristics that Dominique had, except his air was black and silver.

"Ah, my darling daughter. Welcome to the Foedus Courem, the 'Alliance of Blood'." Alexandre DeLoup-Garou greeted.

[Spartan919]

Jason stood back, watching his mate greet the man who he assumed must be her father. After a few minutes, Jason followed Dominique, and walked up to Alexandre. He held out his hand, and smiled to him. "Hello. I don't think we've met before. My name is Jason Clawborne. I am the be-former beta of the Blackclaw clan of werewolves." I hope that I look alright, that I look presentable. It would be quite embarrassing if I could not present myself right to the man who is the father of the one I love.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Dominique gave a tight hug to her father, then kissed him on each cheek.

"It's good to see you again, Daddy." She affectionately stated.

"The same to you, Dominique." Alexandre replied.

"Come, Jason Clawborne, or Clawfang, if you prefer! Sit down! We have so much to discuss! I bet you're wondering what's going on, and why I'm sitting here with you, Prince Radu, formerly of Wallachia, Thomas Cooper, commonly known as the 'Beast of Bray Road', and Archbishop Bernard Pontbriand of Quebec, eh?"

[Magnet Soldier]

There. Kris turned into an alley way a few blocks down from a skyscraper. The smell of the werewolves had come back and it stenched in there. He got out of the car and motioned for Veronica to follow. He pulled out another gun from his jeans and reloaded it. He put it away and Veronica did the same. They walked up to the doors of the building, but were stopped by guards. "Who are you. I need some I..." A bullet went through his neck, silenced. He shot the other guard. "Here, catch." And he threw a silencer at Veronica. She caught it. "Why..." She started. "We need to be inconspicuous. The slightest disruption and our throats will be out. And he opened the door. People looked their way, then went back to their phones, laptops and various other objects. They went to the elevator and instantly he knew which butyon to press. "They really should be more careful. A vamp at the desk and the stench of that human on the elevator. They sound like they fight us but they dont act like it." And he pressed the button. He shot the stereo as the music sounded. A floor before they arrived he stopped the elevator and jumped out, followed by Veronica. He walked to the stairs and crept up them slowly, untill he could hear exactly what was going on in the room. He drew his gun and motion to Veronica to do the same.

[Bleeding Tears]

OoC: I'll post my first post of the RP when I get back from my girlfriends house

[Spartan919]

Jason nodded to the others. "It's good to meet you all; and it's good to finally meet the father of the one I love." He approached Alexandre, and held out his hand to shake the man's hand. "I would like to know the reason that we have come to this bank, instead of the safehouse that me and Dominique were originally going to be taken to. And I think that Jean-Claude had better have a good reason...I am sorry; recently, my temper has been getting the best of me."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Alexandre nodded.

"It's time for my daughter to inherit the family legacy, and not the bank."

He then sweeped his hand over the table.

"The four of us represent one of the four pillars of our noble order: The nobility, the Mother Church, the vampire clans, and the werewolf packs."

"Together, we govern those four aspects, as we have since the Black Wars, or what civilization has called the Black Plague."

A screen then appeared, displaying a picture of two infants being fed by a wolf.

"Do you recognize what fable this illustration represents?"

[Spartan919]

Jason studied the image for a moment. He tried to see if he could figure it out, but could not fathom what it could mean at all. It must be something important. Could it be that this is the origins of the werewolves? Jason decided that he would go with that option, and told it to Alexandre. "Does that represent...the first werewolf?" Jason looked at the image again, but still could not think of anything else that it could possibly represent. "I can think of nothing else that it may mean."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"This is from the legend of Romulus and Remus, specifically how they were raised by a she-wolf."

"This is half-true. Several centuries after the destruction of Troy, werewolves, some of the city's supernatural inhabitants, were treated as second-class in Italy, until Romulus and Remus built a werewolf-run city. They fought against the vampiric-led Etruscans, until the two made a pact, allowing both vampires and werewolves to secretly live in Rome."

"In other words, Rome wasn't built in a day, but it wasn't entirely built by humans, either."

[Spartan919]

"That's...fascinating." Being Italian, Jason had thought that he had known everything about Italy, but apparently he was wrong. Well, I've been wrong about many more things, so I should have no reason to be wrong about other things as well. "But...what does this have to do with me...or Dominique? Id realize that I fail to see the connection; I'm sorry, you must think I am ignorant or something." Jason blushed at his lack of knowledge. "I hope that you will continue explaining it to me."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Well, Rome is just one example of vampiric-zoanthropic sociosymbiotic relationships." Alexandre explained.

"In other words, throughout history, vampires and some sort of werecreatures have worked together."

"In Ancient Egypt, vampires were able to, through subterfuge and a primitive form of sunblock, pass themselves off as gods. The various animal-headed gods were aspects of several zoanthrope clans that had sworn allegiance to the vampire clans."

"India had the Naga, a subculture of weresnakes, worshipped as divine messengers for vampiric 'gods'."

"And even the Middle Ages involved werewolves working for vampires as guards and assistants."

"But the Catholic Church had managed to decentralize the original Roman alliance, and started to exterminate the werewolve and vampire pacts one by one. The remaining pacts rose up against the church in a wr so bloddy that all evidence of it has been replaced by a giant lie. In between 1347 and 1350, most of Eurpoe was killed not by the bubonic plague, but by a massive series of wars that lef neither the vampires, the werewolves, the human nobility, nor the Church happy."

"So they created the Foedue Cruorem to manage the various parts of vampire and werewolf society."

[Spartan919]

Jason nodded, understanding. "But...I don't see...How does this affect me? How does this affect Dominique?" This is all very interesting, but I need to know the details. Why does this history have anything to do with me or Dominique? I hope that we will be safe; what we have done will not be forgotten by Taiga...or Toua. Some day, those two will pay for causing us to leave the pack. Jason shook his head, and looked back at Dominique and Alexandre. "I hope that I'm not seeming like some ignorant fool...but I really don't know why these things need to be told."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

The screen then shifted to a map of the world, showing almost 30 glowing dots.

"These are the positions of the various offices of the Foedus Cruorem across the globe. Erupoe has the most, at over a dozen, while Australia has one lowly office in Perth."

The map then zoomed in on North America, which had 5 dots.

"Theses are the North American offices, in New York, Seattle, New Orleans, Mexico City, and here: Quebec."

"The New York office only deals with New York, but the Quebec office, here, has jurisdiction over all of the northeastern part of North America, which is where your pack lies."

"Currently, the Dark Ones are multiplying rapidly, causing an influx of murders. The Catholic Church won't be able to ingore this much longer, and will be forced to exterminate all zoanthropes in this region. In fact, the spread is so great, it threatens not only the Seattle jurisdiction, but also New York itself."

"We need to nip this brewing war in the bud before it spreads, and possibly creates another Black War, this time on a global scale."

[Spartan919]

Jason nodded, understanding finally setting in. "I see. I will help you in any way that I can, no matter what happens to me. So now...are we going to go to our safehouse?" Jason was not impatient, but he realized that he and Dominique were now pretty much the enemies of every werewolf and werewolf clan in the country. They were going to need someplace safe to stay, and to recuperate. "Me and Dominique would like a chance to rest, and reflect on all of this...I am sure."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

"Sure. Of course. I will have Tanya accompany you."

As if on cue, Tanya appeared behind them and lefted up Dominique, who had managed to fall asleep.

Tanya also handed an umbrella to Jason.

"Lunar Umbrella. Blocks out the Moon's rays."

[Spartan919]

Jason nodded his thanks, then turned to his sleepy fiance. He grasped her legs, and reached around to grab her back. When he had a good grip on Dominique, he lifted her up off of the ground. "Alright, Tanya. We're ready to go to the safehouse. Thank you for bringing us the lunar umbrella. It will be much appreciated on a night like tonight." I cannot wait until I can lay in a soft bed again. It has been so long; and it has been so long since I have just been able to lay close to Dominique. This moment could not come soon enough.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

As the three of them left, the Foedus Cruorem returned to the matter at hand.

"So, you've read the report?"

"Yes. Dominique's condition is deteriorating, The deLoup-Garou experiment is a failure. Not even selective breeding can completely cure the negative effects of afflicted lycanthropism."

"But the disintegration of her psyche is incredibly slow. How long is the estimate?"

"A few months, but there might be other factors we haven't found yet."

"Well, we need to keep a close eye on both of them."

[Apocalypse Cards]

>Taiga<

 

Taiga had followed them being careful to not be detected was in the building and had heard everything they had talked about. She decided it was time to finally make herself known, so she came out, "Hello there, you have some great details but there are some things you are seeming to be unaware of like how the girl gave a fatal wound to a human when completely undetected and could have simply knocked him out instead. Do what you want with her just dont leave me and my brother out of the loop because you should know how we feel on these things..." she said to the people there including Dominique's father.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

((Seriously, how did she get in?!?))

((There are security measures and everything!!!))

 

"Ah, Miss Taiga." Alexandre greeted. "We've been expecting you."

A large cage dropped down right where Taiga stood.

"Do not bother attempting to escape. The cage is electrofied, and an incredibly strong adhesive was applied to the bottom, preventing you from getting through. Furthermore, the floor of this facility is heavily reinforced, preventing you from simply smashing the concreate below you."

"In other words, you aren't allowed to leave us."

 

((Apocalypse, we need to talk.))

((I'm getting REALLY tired of your characters' tendencies to pop out of nowhere.))

((You know what that's called?))

((Godmodding.))

[Apocalypse Cards]

>Taiga<

 

"Did I say I was your enemy no I did not you said that you were the enemy by doing this you know and I am not here for much of anything I just get bored every now and then plus you know the war is starting up soon," began Taiga, "You know we have friends in high places, not that I really care I just want to get this settled and get those barbarians out of my hunting grounds so its not like we are enemies unless you want all of our kind to be destroyed which I am sure you dont and besides you would really do this to a little girl?" she finished as she started to lay down in the cage, "One last thing dont try anything funny while I sleep got that?!" she warned before falling alseep.

 

OOC

 

Actually its not its RPing because if I dont do this since we are the only three that really RP, I dont get to RP besides she followed the whole time and its not godmodding mainly because my characters have yet to be invincible since they havent fought anyone they cant be considered that either

[Bleeding Tears]

OoC: I would of been on when I got back but my friends reminded me of Kickboxing practise, so I said goodbye to my girlfriend hopped in my mate Kai's car and went to practise.

 

IC: Yugo was sitting in his college lesson, staring out of the window at the forest, he longed to be out there. He put his hand up and asked his teacher; "can I be eccsused please?". His teacher aggreed and let him out, he ran out of the college, into the forest. He stopped at a tree, put his hand on it and bowed his head. The tree was his mothers favourite place, he still missed her, his quiet thoughts were interupted with rustleing in the bushes. "Who'se there?" said Yugo with a vicious tone in his voice. "Whoever you are, if you come any closer I'll rip your throught out", Yugo thought that it was just a random person who had wandered out and got lost, he started going further towards the bushes...
