Confronted By The Kindred

The word is out about Nicole's return to Toxian City. It seems the Kindred has shown an interest in my presence. The first contact is made while I was sitting in The Haven.

[20:30] Zoey22 Redstar hearing voices from the bar she walks closer eyeing the women up from afar

[20:31] NicoleA Stine scans the bar

[20:33] NicoleA Stine steps out into the haze of toxian city.

[20:34] NicoleA Stine scans the street

[20:34] Zoey22 Redstar tilts her head as she senses someone behind her, turning slightly as she notices the woman

[20:35] NicoleA Stine turns a looks at Zoey22 and nods with a smile

[20:36] Zoey22 Redstar stares blanky at the woman as if she was daydreaming her eyes unfocused as she nods to herself and smiles back "Greetings Miss...." she says in a dark tone

[20:37] NicoleA Stine: "greetings"

[20:38] Zoey22 Redstar: "nnot safe to stand alone on the street...."

[20:38] NicoleA Stine nods "always moving"

[20:39] Zoey22 Redstar looks her over and perks her brow "you aint now.... never know who could come by, lonesome girl on the street is easy pickings for the guys around these parts"
**Zoey's DCS2 hud was non-combat and had no weapons attached.**

[20:40] NicoleA Stine takes a humble bow to Zoey "My name is Nicole"

[20:41] NicoleA Stine smiles "If thats what you think of me, maybe you should walk over to Stiletto and ask her who I am"
**Nicole's DCS2 HUD was combat and weapons attached.**

[20:41] NicoleA Stine laughs

[20:42] Zoey22 Redstar smiling as she takes note of the name "giving your name out to total strangers aswell...." leans forward as she stares mischivously at the woman, then stands at she drops her Sovereigns name casually "... and you know Lady Stiletto... how?"

[20:44] Zoey22 Redstar accepted your inventory offer.

[20:44] NicoleA Stine smiles "ask her"

[20:45] Zoey22 Redstar perks a brow once again "i asked you..."

[20:45] NicoleA Stine steps closer "My name is out on the streets already, and there is a price on my head."

[20:46] NicoleA Stine: "I am wanted by the Omegas"

[20:47] Zoey22 Redstar shrugs "your name means nothing to me..." staring blankly again as her mind drifts slightly before snapping back, mumbling to herself "Omegas... ok ill bite, so to speak, why are you wanted by them?"

[20:47] NicoleA Stine: "I was an assasin for the Kindred Alliance and I killed one of their top scientists

[20:49] NicoleA Stine: "One of their scientist that was working on a virius that would have wiped out the vampire population in toxian city

[20:49] Zoey22 Redstar sighs "So your an oldie vampire... so to speak seen as the KA are gone and have been for quite some time" tilting her head as she listens "well good job the Omegas arent around anymore then huh"

[20:50] NicoleA Stine laughs "yeah they arent around anymore, but I am."

[20:50] Zoey22 Redstar "well if they arent around any longer then im sure the price would of been lifted right?"

[20:51] NicoleA Stine laughs "I am sure there are still people in tox that want my head"

[20:52] Zoey22 Redstar shrugs lightly "not many oldies left in Tox ecpect maybe the leaders of the factions.... plus a few others!"

[20:52] Zoey22 Redstar: except*)

[20:53] NicoleA Stine: "Yeah there are a few left, NESSA still around ?"

[20:54] NicoleA Stine: "Esprosso?"

[20:58] NicoleA Stine: "a pleasure Zoey , I am sure we will see each other again"

[20:59] Zoey22 Redstar bows out and wanders down the street and fades

[21:00] NicoleA Stine watches Zoey walk down the street, Nicole readies herself and waits for it......

An attack never came.

Since my return I have noticed many people question me about my length of stay in Toxian City. Once it is learn I am a level 16 their attitudes change.

The Return to Toxian City

Through the haze of the morning sun NicoleA Stine steps off the boat and on to the dock of Toxian City. She stops for a moment and takes a deep breath inhaling through her nose. The scents are familiar yet new to her. After the death of her first Master Shamie Caproni and the betrayal by The Kindred Alliance Nicole wandered Toxian City as a Ronin, with no loyalty to anyone but herself. Finding her self on a ship bound for Nippon Nicole left behind nothing. For over a year NicoleA had studied the way of the sword with The Samurai Master Yamamoto Yuhara of Nippon. Master Yamamoto Yuhara taught her the way of the sword well and Nicole has found the inner calm. She is well on her way, traveling the path to enlightenment. Serving in the Renjii Clan in the Feudal lands of Nippon Nicole has become an accomplished warrior.

Nicole has now returned to Toxian City. As she walks down Invidia Lane of Toxian City, through the toxic haze of the city, the Kindred Alliance Head Quarters comes into view. Nicole nears the building she notices the banners hanging from the railing. It is no long The KA. Nicole turns the corner on to Gula Lane she sees a figure perched high on the roof top. As she nears the figure she seems to recognize the figure as Esso Brezoianu, looking a bit older and a bit wiser.

Nicole stops for a moment and reaches into her pocket takes out a large splinter of the stake used to kill her mentor Shamie. Nicole grips it tight, a tear rolls down her cheek. Nicole notices a young girl standing on the balcony of the Warehouse and decides to take a moment to chat.

The girl seems timid and afraid of Nicole.

NicoleA Stine senses..... looks up and sees Kat Dawg... looks to her right and sees the lycan and the vampire
NicoleA Stine: "hmmm"
NicoleA Stine pearches herself on the ledge.
NicoleA Stine sees Kat in the door way and looks over at the vamp and lycan "now that cant be good"
NicoleA Stine looks in the window and thinks back to her Kindred Alliance days with Sha and the emotions get the best of her and a tear runs down her cheek
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] blinks and looks over at Nicole "it never is good. nothing is ever good" she whispers
NicoleA Stine wipes the tear from her eye and snaps back and looks at Kat "whats never good?"
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] wraps her arms around her waist and looks at Nicole nervously "everything. someone or something always tries to break you. tear you down. and when they succeed you'll never be the same" she says softly while she closes her eyes shut trying to forget about the incident a few days before "it will never be the same" she steps back a bit
NicoleA Stine looks at KAt and raises an eyebrow "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, This use to be my home, I was betrayed by friends and family and I am stronger now for it
NicoleA Stine straights up and pushes her shoulders back
NicoleA Stine: "Life is impermanent and you must move"
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] blinks twice as she takes in what Nicole said "my family will never betray me" she softly says as she bows her head and looks at the ground "who betrayed you?"
NicoleA Stine: "The Kindred Alliance, Taurus that bastard"
NicoleA Stine: "Taurius Biedermann and if I find that bastard I will cut his nuts off"
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] jumps back a bit as she hears Sav's voice. she touches the cross on her armband and softly says "i uh, im at the warehouse"
NicoleA Stine can still smell that vampire and realizes she is somewhere in the area."
NicoleA Stine smiles at the girl "I am Nicole"
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] half smiles "im... im Katalyna" she says shyly
NicoleA Stine smiles "nice to meet you Katalyna"
NicoleA Stine looks at Savahhah and nods "hello"
Savannah Porterfield nods to the girl as she walks up behind Kat. "Morning."
Katalyna [Kat Dawg] forces a smile then bows her head at Sav and softly says "morning"
Savannah Porterfield looks between the two, taking a protective step toward Kat as she eyes the strange female. "Am I interuppting you two, or can I drag my sister away for a moment?"
NicoleA Stine looks in the window and sees the bar and thinks to herself "its a good thing I got Lyra's tail"
NicoleA Stine focuses back on Savahanna "No its fine ,
NicoleA Stine looks at Kat "Nice meeting you"

Nicole crouches down and matrix jumps across to the other building where she perches herself on the roof top. She crosses her legs and begins to levitate as she meditates and finds her inner calm.
Home again.
