((I think I have an idea....

Matt kept looking up and down the sewer.The rats had him trap and were closing little by little but didnt seem like they weren't going to strike unless provocted.He took out two small black grenade looking objects and threw one in opposite directions.About 1 foot away from the rats the grenades exploded at the same time and a net burt from them hooking themselves into the sides of the sewer."There that should buy me some time while I figure out what to do"he told himself.
Just as he finished say that a dark figure came walking in the distance through the rats.
((there I think thats gonna work

((where does he get all those neat toys? :::giggles

Lathirous was momentarily blinded by the flashes. He knew his cover was blown, His ability to hide in shadows didn't work so well when bombarded with light. So non chilauntly he walked out and over to the stranger. Afeter seeing his first choice of toys the ghoul stopped short with his hand on his gun.

"What do you want, and why are you down here."He yelled, making sure it echoeed calling others to his area

Matt looked at the man with a calm expression on his face and tried not to seem intimidated or a bit frightened even though he was about 3-4 inches taller than Matt.
"There was 'SOMETHING' in a flower shop and took most of the flowers.I was following a trail of peddells left and I ened up here.This is where the trail ends.You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you or perhaps seen anyone with alot of flowers or something else along those lines?"


((Adrianna,Matt gets these toys because he either has them specialy made or stolen.He doesnt have very many toys but he can get them.Right now he has 2 more of the net granades and a nightstick made out of metal with a wooden tip on both ends.Other than that he's pretty screwed because he's somewhat short and isn't exactly the best of fighters.

"I have seen nothing down here. What is your name and what interest is it of yours if there are flowers down here. I have made my home down here and don't like tresspassers. But being that we are so far in and that i don't wish any harm nor blood shed down here i will escort you out." Lathirous said With an annoyed tone in his voice.


The tresspasser weighed is options and decided to let the strange sewer man lead him out. The man had no flashlight but was obviously armed. The Grubby man kept his hand in his pocket on the hilt of a gun the whole time. Lathirous kept kicking rocks while he walked as if allerting anything in his path that he was coming. Eyes seemed to be watching the two walk, but none could ever been really seen. The two came up to a metal grate over looking a pond. The pond was a sesspool and it had large things swimming around it. Lathirous pulled out a key and slipped into the lock which squeaked as it resisted the use. He then opend the heavy grate with a forcefull hand.
"There is a small footpath leading out and up. follow it please. and the next time you wish to visit me please call first My lame is Lathirous. And you are......"



--------------------------------------------

When the man was safely up the path the ghoul locked up the gate and sprinted back out to the next way out. He knew the time it took to walk the path. It would lead the man down in between the ponds and out to Maple street. and the sewer plant. Lathirous knew he could cut off the man if he hurried. when he got to the exit he opend up the door and slipped into the shadows of the ally.

While there he took the opertunity to call joseph and to fill him in on the whole situation, to give him the address and to let him know that he was following the man who came in with such unique weapons.

The ghoul hung up the phone when he heard foot steps comming up the road. No cabs would come down to this part of town at this time of night so they would both be of foot for a while longer still.

(( Pleas fill in the name if you would be so kind Matt))

Drain walked Addrinna back to the sewers. For the first time he was ashamed of his tunnells. They were dark and gloomy, Which ment that she couldn't see his hidious features. But they were not fitting to someone of her stature and beauty.
"i have a better place for you to rest tonight my dear. and then tomarrow the day after tomarrow I will take you to the opera. Le Miserables is playing again."

Addrinna wondered when drain was planning on asking her questions, with the trips to the zoo, the flowers and now the opera. When was he going to have the time to do his business?....

Drain walked Addrinna to a ladder and he then climbed up it disarming the trap while he did so::Unoticed i might add::

When Adrinna climbed up she was amazed at the place.

(( ok because i didn't want to retype this whole thing this is an excert from Throp in cascadia and it explains the place I took Addrinna.
The party was lead deeper into the citys sewers. the stench was overpowering, the light form the torch was playing tricks on the site of all of the undead. The flickering thorowing shadows all about.

The lead nos reached his destination. a ladder leading up to a steel hatch. He motioned for the others to climb up. the nos then turned and left the 3 others standing wondering what was up there.

Gabe was the first to go up mumbeling the whole time about having to touch things down here. the dry dust on the rungs of the ladder were coming off and sticking to his clothes making him feel even more dirty , if that was possible, He lifted the door and climbed up.. the others were on the ground watching him, waiting for his curses and threats to send the cleaning bill to Drain. The Ventrue climbed up into what apperared to be a new style mobile home. Fully furnished and with all utilites, running water, electricaty, and a stocked fridge with several blood pouches. He called up fot the others to come and enjoy what appeared to me better quarters then they all expected.

Graventhorp went to the window and looked out. all he saw were rocks. millions of small rocks. the kind that cement is made form... Drain had the tralier burried right in the middle of the Red Cheif cement quarey hahah.


((sorry the names don't fit but you get the idea of the place....))

(( that is fro page 6 of throp in cascadia. If you would like more detail.. It also explains how we got into the zoo and why there were no security guards around ))

She looked around the moble home, It was nice, but the thin layer of dust on every thing told her it not been used in a while. Still, she smiled at her host, the secret place was far better then where she had been kept in the sewers.

"Drain, can i trouble you for one more thing?"

he looked as if his back streightened "trouble? no trouble, what is it?"

"Can you get me some clothes, having only one thing to wear, is... you know"

he looked puzzled, because he really din't know, but he consented to her request and told her he would be back the next night. At that he turned to leave.

"Drain."

"yes my dear what is it?"

She smiled unable to contain herself.
"does the bath tub work in you little hideaway?

((Nice posts :smile:

Oh and btw Drain check the last sunrise post it concern's Adrianna ic ))

"yes it does. In fact Battgirl has used it on occasion. But as you can see it has been a while since she was here."

Once again he turned to leave. on his way home he called to Joseph his childe and told him to gather some clothes fit for a lady.

"Bundle them up nicely and make sure there is an evening gown in there also. I will be taking our guest to the opera and i need something approperate. Cindy (the whore) will assist you. Treat her nice and by all means do not let her see you."

Drain hung up and then called Gaberiel.

"MY friend i would like to cash in a favor. You have the means of opening stores after hours. do you not?

Gabe "Yes i do. but what do you need i could just send it over."

Drain "No this is a job for a woman. I will send over one of my working girls to Bloomingdales. You can open it for me with discression can't you?"

Gabe "Yes that is no problem..will you need someone there?"

Drain "No that is allright just make sure the place is open when my girl arrives."

Gabe "ok i will have it open within the hour."

------------------

Joseph contacted the the local policeman (who was on Drains payrole) and had him pick up Cindy. She was taken from the hotel she was working in and her John was dragged off to the city jail. Cindy was releaced outside of Valeks Secret haven and directed to her pimp. The pimp told her to get to the sewers and wait. This was a new experance for the prositute. She had heard the voice on the phone before but never taken to the Darkman himself. She climbed down the ladder and entered the realm of the Nosferatu. She was told what to get by a disembodied voice. Cindy picked up the bundle of cash that was behind a discarded tire and went shopping.

She felt like pretty woman with the service she recived. A nicely dressed man met her at the door and showed her tons of fine clothes. Cindy picked out some modest ones and 2 gowns. Not knowing what she was buying for she picked out some makeup and 2 nice purses.

3 hrs later she returned to the same manhole and proceded down the ladder. the things were wrapped up in packages with bows and left behind the tire like instructed.

When she was leaving she smelled a foul scent from a half smoked cigerette. It was still burning.. Some one was down here with her. She pulled out a small knife and ran for the ladder as fast as she could.

Drain watched as she ran away. Saddely he picked up the package. With the sleave of his coat he wiped away a small blood tear from under his eye.
"I am sorry i dragged you into this world Cindy." He whispered.

30 minuites later he knoced on the hatchway to the trailer.

(( aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww .. Drain come on now .. don't get all sentimental here!! ::starts chanting:: I think Drain's in looooooooooooooooove ... I think Drain's in loooooooooooooooooove .. :P lol

((Love no... i just feel pity for those the world has trodden upon. and Remorsefull for dragging them further into our dark and painful world.))

(( yeah yeah .. excuses ...

((Perhaps it's pity NOW but it can/will turn into love

((PS I think you're right Kiya :grin:

She woke up in the strange place remembering what her sire had told her.

"they will kill you adrianna, they hate you because of me."

Drain only wanted to know about Jules, she told herself. It was so unfair, she had been a prisoner in L.A and now she was a prisoner in Cascadia as well. She had to wonder if all they saw when they looked at her was a Sabbat vampire. She felt the brand on her hip, vampires were cruel she thought. And what was she gonna do? If she told them about Jules, he would kill her and if she didn't... She thought of all the horrible things that Valek had done to Reanneg. It was hopeless no matter what she did.
Even Drain couldn't protect her forever and if he did then she really would be a prisoner for the rest of her unlife.

She through back her blankets and hopped up, she couldn't stay here, it was all wrong, everything was wrong. She dressed in a hurry, her hands shaking, waiting for the guards to show up any second to take her to room with the sun.

Any minute, she told herself, I've got to hurry. She raced to the door and through it open and while she had never been able to turn herself into a shadow before, she mastered the tenebrous form without thinking and slipped away into the dark. And for the first time being a creature of darkness didn't matter anymore.
