Yes, strange. Our ritae I understand. You dogs arent meant to do this sort of thing. Its unusually barbaric for beasts who pretend to still be human. As you like, General, I shall seek you when teh time is right. Keep that which you value close to you - I make no promises of propriety to Camarilla scum.
*Leering obviously at Daegonna, Cerberus bowed slightly and melted back into the crowd. Literally. One moment, he was clearly in front of the DeSeer group, the next, it was other people there, no sign of the blue haired freak anywhere.
There were two more fights scheduled for the night - Fianna vs True Brujah, with the time controlling Brujah walking away whole, and Wendigo vs Baali. That fight had proved more than brutal, blood spattering those watching above the arena as two beasts of both worlds clashed. Eventually, it was the Baali who limped away with his life, leaving his opponent a smear in the sand. After that, down in the pit, an iris of sorts started to close over the arena, leavingit shut off from sight. A new feature. The fights for this night were over. Tomorrow, Dagoth would get his first fight.
*TIME SKIP*
The next night, the club was as packed as before. Unusual faces had poppd up among the more recognised patrons, all sorts drawn once again to the Fang by rumour and word of mouth. Both the DeSeer element, AND this unknown new champion were pulling the corwds, and of course, Seraphim's lot were wandering about also. Cerberus was missing tonight, but Sera.... he was there and clearly present. Dressed in black leather pants that looked poured on, promising he was wearing NOTHING beneath them, the purple-blue undertones of his raven hair were accented by a deep blue shirt, open to his navel, a spill of lace highlighting his nipples and covering half of his hands as the cuffs draped down. His hair was loose, like spun obsidian dancing around his body, tail jangling with silver hoops pierced THROUGH it. Calf high leather boots showed off the musculature of his calves and he came easily to lean against the rail a few people away from Daegonna's seat by the pit, sending her a telling wink. Bailey was again of course by Dagoth, having made no comment at Dagoth's rejoinder the night before.*
You will fight third tonight, cub. Are you prepared?

Daegonna frowned as a gravelly voice spoke out through the crowd. She didn't recognize it. Corbin's arm fell around her shoulders, and for a moment, she tensed. His voice spoke into her mind. She wasn't overly comforted by his words, but she knew her brother would win. She was more concerned that she didn't and couldn't know who the stranger was. Then the other who had bet stepped forward. Daegonna's eyebrows lifted. She'd never met him, but she knew who he was. Cerberus. An aura of calm cruelty rolled off of him, as tangible as his footfalls. Daegonna felt Corbin's hand twitch the tiniest bit. He was struggling with the urge to lash out at Cerberus. Daegonna herself was fighting a similar urge. When Cerberus's eye drifted over to her, and he smiled, she grinned back. Her fangs glittered. Her eyes were promises of violence and pain that could make him writhe and scream. She could do it, too. Evidently the words "fresh meat" had struck a raw nerve. From the corner of her eye, Daegonna saw Bailey strike Dagoth. She shifted, barely perceptible. But Corbin's hand was still on her slim shoulder. There was no way to get to Bailey, and she knew it would be all the worse for Dagoth if she tried. She clenched her teeth and stayed still. Her gaze dropped down to the ring, and she watched the other Cainite intently. She studied him, his actions, and decided that, aside from the fact that he was clearly mocking Dagoth, there was something familiar about him. It was something about his scent, and his aura. Something she saw almost every day. But it was the sort of something that is so fundamentally familiar that you don't realize what it is. The heart of the wolf-girl bounced and splattered and rolled to Dagoth's feet. Over-dramatic much? He sounds like a teenager whose daddy didn't love him enough. Daegonna was unimpressed. The girl was aware of the conversation going on between Corbin and Cerberus, and now that the fight was over, she shifted her gaze back to the two of them. She was surprised when Corbin's grip tightened a bit on her, a gentle, comforting squeeze. He drew her into a light embrace. Daegonna didn't fight. She smiled up at him, gratefully. She didn't need to threaten Cerberus. The way he leered at her, the way he looked at her, told Daegonna that he had already made a fatal mistake: he had underestimated her. He had underestimated how insane and sadistic she really was, and how powerful she was. It wasn't a surprise. Daegonna almost always masked her power, and she tried not to broadcast her presence or her strengths or weaknesses. She was frequently assumed to be much more Human than she really was, and that usually worked in her favour.
The next night, Daegonna seated herself beside Corbin again. Once again, she was dressed like a lovely little doll, the innocence of her face and behaviour and clothes juxtaposed by the obviously Daemon traits. She was an odd one, no doubt. When she saw Sera, she smiled at him, her cheeks flushing the tiniest bit at his wink. She ran her tongue suggestively over her lollipop, and winked back at him. He was dangerous, unhinged, and crazy sexy. She'd look, and tease, but not touch.

Dagoth enjoyed the True's fight his eyes darting in a unnatural fashion following each movement of the fight Their was a simple grace in the abilities there something that Dagoth appraciated in watching. The Wendigo was a bloodbath that the masses loved, he however just loved the passion the two showed. Dagoth moved with Bailey growling almost constantly at the Sabbats presence, when he was free they would die. His promise to murder was only reenforced when Sera appeared, something so pathetic had no right to exsist. He was snatched back to reality by Bailey's question.
"Fighting wraps, tape and a marker pen. Then I'm ready, if not then tell me your desire master and I shall carry it out."

You shall have all of them. Your opponent will be fitting for your bloodline - a Silver Fang. I want you to amputate his forepaws, or hands if he stays human, and bring me his claws. Calm yourself from all save the fights ahead of you. Block everything else out. Whoever else comes here, whoever else taunts or presents themself to you, they are not your concern. They are mine. From now on, you hear only MY words, see only my face. Understood?
*The Tzimisce smiled down at Dagoth, one of thos esmiles that said he was up to something only he knew about.
Sera raised one delicate eyebrow at Daegonna, then grinned, showing a hint of fang. His tongue darted out between his fangs, licking over his tinted lips. One ear twitched just slightly, setting the tiny bells hanging from it to ringing. His tail coiled up his own thigh, delicately, designed ot be watched, then tightened around his waist like a belt. Dropping his hands to the powerful muscle, he twitched his lips, blowing a kiss towards Daegonna. Flirting with the girl always seemed to please him. He motioned with one hand, indicating he'd like to talk to her later. What about was unclear*

Corbin DeSeer Vice Captain

Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2008 8:23 am
Garbed in a more, subtle attire then the previous evening in his Syn uniform, Corbin sat by Dae's side with his long coats tail stiffly drapped over his thighs, Aniseed cigar in hand, lit and cane set upon the left arm of his chair, fingers tapping in succession over the gold pummel.
Eyes firm, Corbin knew better then to expect a tastefull crowd in this place and so it was with no surprise that he found Seraphim here this eve. Esspecially given the last nights cameo appearance.
However much Corbin hated Cerberus though, there was that very special little place in the recesses of his loathing for Seraphim. That however, wasn't all that plagued the lord's mind on this night. From the moment he had taken his seat, there was a terribly unnerving sensation of familiarity in the air, in the form of a scent. This, the General accumulated to the countless Sabbat and Garou in the building, though still.. It ate at the back of his mind.
Beyond that however, Corbin HAD managed to catch the whiff of hormonal tug - o - war between both the brat across the room, and the young lady at his side.
With a decidedly subtle motion of the eye without turning his head, Corbin's eye fell on Seraphim just after the blowing of a kiss. If this was infact a tangible projectile, said matter would indeed SPLATTER against the barrier of Corbin's low, almost territorial growl. Even the handfull of close by Garou that could hear the sound took a step back, the hairs standing at end on the back of their necks, tails tucking.
This show of male dominance however, was cut short as the sharp glistening of some all too familiar sigil caught his eye, and a look of shock came over the General, as he still stared at the scrawney, younger counterpart.

Brilliant bleached golden blonde locks glistened in what little light was available to hit the strands beneath a wide brimmed hat, decorated with a band of canines both Garou, and Cainite as a rather large and impossing figure came to stand like a warding totem behind Seraphim.
One eye bluer then the finest saphire glared down upon the violet maned boy. In the midst of the crowds jostling too and fro in eager anticipation of the nights violence, the figure's cloak was brushed aside for but a moment.
Black, though hardly frail seeming netting to cover an equally invulnerable looking vest and form fitting sleevless body suit, with a belt of revolver rounds over his bulky, cut chest. At either hip a non-descript revolver was holstered, and a rather large sheathed broad sword over his left thigh.
Behind him, still within the confines of his cloak, there was the briefest glimpse of a golden fur coated tail, and under the brim of his hat, long pointed ears.
It was however, the sigil pinned to his cloak collar, that gleamed brightest of all for a moment in the right light. A golden Swastika, accompanied by a set of gold Oak leaves, clutched in the talons of an eagle. A Major. The very design of the cloak however, was not something all together unseen in Gaia. Though not since a particular invasion, and mass bombing. A dark crimson colour dyed through material so soft and silken, the creature looked almost to wear a veil of vitae. Furthermore, and to yet more interest and contraversy, was the chains that acted like ornaments, alongside a score of Sabbat related sigils and pins.
It was with a ghostly whisp of cold air from either side of a rather specialized gas mask, that the Garou's hand came to fall with a weighty thud upon Seraphim's shoulder, and the Major creapt in with a lean, in order to reach the lad's ear with a leer, pointedly aimed across the pit to the DeSeer party.
"Bezt not to enrage Herr Selbstbewusstsein, zhe great monzter juzt might dezide to eat uz all. Ja?..."
With a muffled chortle to match his husky tone of voice behind the mask, the Nazi Major gave Seraphim a short pair of pats on the shoulder, cerulean eye brimming with mischief still locked on the DeSeer company, before sinking back with just one step, only to vanish the moment another crossed infront of him. Though something of the smell still lingering, teased that the Garou wasn't far.

As the rare blonde Garou across the pit from them vanished, Corbin shot to his feet quicker then most would suspect one's back could handle, eyes scanning the crowd feverishly, senses working over time to try and locate the Nazi.
Snarling, biting down on his lip with clenched fists, the General couldn't possibly find the creature amidst the buffet of scents, sounds and sights. Not to mention, this foul creature had some how managed to disguise his scent, by masking the entire venue in it. No one spot reeked more potently then the next. He however, wasn't gone completely that much, Corbin was sure of.
Still with the extremely aggitaited snarl, the Diablerist made an effort to compose himself while on display as he was, and instead of trying to find the golden Were, focused on sensing out any explosives. That, having been the last tactic used by the rancid race.

*Sera had caught Corbins growl, and unlike the Garou who all balked at it, it only set his grin deeper. He knew as well as Corbin should know, forbidding something only made it a more desireable prize... to Daegonna, as well to himself. He knew the girl was already attracted to him, even if it DID only ever turn out to be as the less vaunted clone of the very man she sat next to and had been sternly warned away from by her own blood brother.
Two seconds later though, it didnt matter. Only years of careful schooling and practice at keeping his charming grin in place stopped him from shuddering at the touch to his shoulder, only reserves of steel prevented him from flinching, only pride kept him from changing his stance and demanour at all, especially as the figure that crept up behind him had come out of the blue, totally un-sensed. Seraphim, alike to Corbin, was not used to being crept up upon by the powerful. And the stinking Garou REEKED of power. Of a kind he didnt like at all.
He stayed still, claws not even tightening on his tail as his eyes stayed on the ring, grin widening if anything at the words hissed to him*
And you wish me to deny myself such joys, Lupine? For shame...
*Of course, the Major was gone before the words had even left sera's lips, and despite the fact he had practicaly just vocalised a DESIRE to be consumed by his twin, Sera's gaze, once he too performed a scan and found the Major missing, inevitably found Corbin's. Yes, he and his were despised by the branch in this dimension, save for the matriarch it seemed. But she wasnt here. In her stead, just as in his own realm, there was only Corbin. He tilted his head slightly towards the bar at the back, cordially requesting Corbin to follow and meet him there. No reason to unsettle those that had NOT noticed the cause for BOTH of their discomforts, and EVERY reason to talk. Seraphim had no more desire to see the Major than Corbin did, it seemed.*
((One only hopes you are up to what I think you are up to. It will make my own designs so very much more fun. I suppose this sets us both with proverbial rapiers drawn... hope you're up to the duel XP))

Corbin DeSeer Vice Captain

Corbin only gave a subtle nod, before setting his hand upon Dae's own lightly.
"I'll only be a moment. I'm sure you can handle yourself, deary."
And with that the General stood once again, cane in hand as he casually walked over to the bar in his counter part's wake, eyes narrowed, senses still on high alert.
"Absinthe and vitae."
Corbin's order was taken, and the drink set before him, as the tender then looked to Seraphim for his order, if he had one. Once the Tender had moved away to accomidate the requests of others, Corbin spoke quietly, calmly... Though it wouldn't be difficult for Seraphim to notice, the DeSeer WAS, still a little shaken.
"That dark crimson cloak decorated with chains.... And the Sabbat Ensignia on it. I've seen it before though, the last was a Salubri Lieutenant, called Migel. Or atleast that was the name he gave. Another Diablerist from the Sabbat ranks, he was the one that sent Engel and his men to investigate just what degree of power the Camarilla had in its agents. But... This makes no sense. Not to me, atleast...."
Corbin Had been idly whirling his drink as if to test wine in its glass, before then taking a sip, and turning his eyes on Seraphim's.
"You however, might have a take on things.... That WAS a Garou, and worse still, a Black Spiral Dancer.... I would know that stench anywhere. Not like Malkis was, though. This one, was different. Is there some sick joke of a faction in the Sabbat YOU know so well, that not only employs Garou, but gives them rank, Seraphim?"
Under normal circumstances, Corbin wouldn't talk like this with the punk, but this most recent turn of events, certainly warranted some, civil queries. Garou, wearing Sabbat sigils and crests outside of slavery? What on earth, could be next?

Absinthe. JUST Absinthe.
*Sera gave his order, looking as green about the gills as the drink he named. He too though spoke with a calm he did not feel in his heart of hearts.*
I wouldnt know, I really wouldnt. This isnt my realm. Thats NOT to say however... I dont know who it is. Or at least, who I THINK it is. I never met him in my realm...
*shaking himself, knowing he wasnt making much sense, Sera took his drink and simply DOWNED it. Then he began again, more lucidly*
Back home, we were as you know somewhere near the top of the pack. We were often invited to our version of the illustrious ceremonies you Camarilla often hold. There was more blood and debauchery in ours, and a lot more cloak and dagger when anything important was on the table. In some ways, the pack stucture made things HARDER to talk about for us, than for you, despite our supposed freedom to divulge what we are. There WAS one rumour that came down from on high though, mixed in with all the usuals. Something about a lycan in a seat of power. Of course, from MY side... Engel, Schenider... all those who fought you... would have been one of our allies from the get go, not someone we needed to poach. I never met the Major in person, nor did I EVER dream of this.... Considering the rumours that always run alongside such... I'd put money on him being involved HEAVILY in the Jyhad... and being immortal somehow. Prehaps an Abomination? The Tribe explains much - Black Spiral Dancers turned from the earth long ago and serve the Wyrm, whom most Garou believe we Cainites also serve. Prehaps, inadvertantly, we do, who knows? But its telling that its one of THEM thats found shacked up with our own kind, though I ABHOR any who think it right...
*All this was basically Seraphim's eloquent way of saying he knew NOTHING more than Corbin and could only speculate. It was clear he too however was disturbed by the man;s presence, and the nature of what this Major was and what he represented*

Posted: Wed Dec 24, 2008 11:13 pm
Corbin followed in Seraphim's example, up ending his glass as he then took a seat and sighed heavily, free hand comeing to cup his cheek with elbow resting upon the bar counter.
"I've never seen an Abomination, only researched them. I've even put work into the process of creating them. Which traits consume the other, and which ones make for a Garou, or other creature that survives the process. Though i've never actually attempted the ritae myself, only studied.... My work bore no true success however. Its simply too complex, and unstable. We, the Cainites and Garou were never meant to be one in any sense."
Stubbing out his cigar, and opting for a cigarette instead, the Diablerist inhaled nearly half of the stick in one breath, before continueing.
"If this is the case, however. Roan needs to know, and immediately. Whether they actually are, an accepted and known part of the Sabbat, or have simply penetrated its ranks under disguise.... My god, if the latter were true, then there could well be more in the ranks of the Camarilla."
Corbin's eyes widened, and darted up to meet with Seraphim's.
"Do you know the damage they could cause, if there WERE such double agents, hidden in the sects and clans of the Cainite world?! The entire structure, could come crashing down!"

The lights dimmed, then flickered for only the briefest moment over the bar and in that single heartbeat, BOTH Seraphim, and Corbin had a cloaked man at their backs.
Behind Corbin, this Garou Major, standing nearly a full foot taller then the Diablerist even, with whisps of cold, stagnant air hissing fourth from his mask.
Behind Seraphim, a man addorning the very same cloak like uniform, however he bore much more heavily concieled traits. All that could be seen of his features, were the three, mystic eyes of scarlet, floating like illusions within the hood of the cloak. This one, just as the Garou, bore the oak leaves of a major.
"I do believe zhat zhey vinally underztand, herr Migel."
"It would certainly appear that way, Gunther."
In that moment both Seraphim and Corbin would feel it. The gravity of the situation, and the pair at their heels. An overwhelming reek of both powerful Cainite, and Garou blood swarmed the pair, debilitaiting degrees of power and knowledge behind the eyes that crossed the shoulders of either Cainite they stood behind, to pierce those of the one infront of them.
Migel, and Gunther both crept in in unisen, both whispering words to Cainite infront of them.
"That which you know of any Camarilla, is nothing in comparison to the grander scheme of things. The greatest of truths. No mere Beserker, soldier, or officer can understand the truest meanings of Gehenna, Galconda, Jyhad and the Wyrm."
"Und you, Herr Cannibal. You think too much, TOO much. Iv you really vant to know more... Azk zhat uelezz cazt avway ov yourz. Zhat Zalubri Antititribu. Herr Engel und I go VAY back. Break it to him gently zough. Zhe poor Geistesgestört zinks I died maybe 'alf a zentury ago. Mine name ist Gunther. Adolf. Herrmann."
"Now, if you dont mind too terribly, gentlemen, we have another engagement to attend. Hush hush, secret squirrel and all that, you know."
"Auf Wiedersehen!"
And with no more warning then that, Both Corbin, and Seraphim would for a single heartbeat, succumb to a state somewhat like blacking out. Every sensory ability shut down, and brain activity was for a split second, disrupted. In this fraction of a second however both cloaked figures, had vanished. This time, the pair truely were gone.

......
*Seraphim remained wordless after the pair left, stunned totally by how easily they had wiped out his senses. Unlike COrbin, Seraphim was NOT acting under restrictions and had ALL his skills available to him. And it hadnt made a differance. Finally, he spoke*
Mother needs to know. Do you want to go to her, or shall I? If myself... can you metaobilse DNA without your blood god? For all they SAY they're gone... it would be foolhardy to leave this place unguarded. We can fight amongst ourseves later. For now... we'd better work together or we're ALL dead.

Corbin's hands trembled, glass held within his hand shaking with the force as he dipped his head, the shudder crossing his entire body as he took a few quiet, but sharp breaths. It was as though the General was beginning to break down, falter under the pressure, and intimidating nature of these ideas. Until..
"Marvelous...."
Corbin's head rose once more both wickedly attrocious toothy grin, and vibrantly glowing emerald eyes in place and holding strong with his sadistic chuckle.
"Secret armies, assassins and officers of the Sabbat hordes descend upon us with yet anotther new challenge. I've never seen an abomination, and if that is indeed what those creatures were.... The idea makes my blood boil with extacy. Finally, a new enemy, a powerful enemy."
Corbin set his eyes like stone on Seraphim, still with that almost psychotic grin spread across his face in cement.
"You will go, I will stay. My blood is mine, and it will work as I demand it does. Go with haste, Seraphim. They may be targeting one of us, or our facilities next."
As much as he wanted to go himself, Corbin wasn't about to leave Dagoth and the Fang. More importantly, Dae WITH Seraphim. Besides, restricted as he was, Corbin couldn't get to Roan as quickly as Seraphim.

As you wish...
*Seraphim knew better than to argue or try and convince what was basically himself otherwise. He too felt the thrill of imminent battle in his veins, but unlike his twin, he HAD seen abominations before. Usually just before his pack tore them apart, a few nights after their conception*
NO sane Cainite would allow an Abomination to exist... nor would the Garou. There are even cases where Lycan and bloodsucker have worked TOGETHER just long enough to kill one... If this IS what we face, these two are veterans who have survived WAY past what they should have... do NOT let your guard down. I will bring Schneider and Engel back with me also.
*And then the willowy male was gone, stepping into shadow as the last words left his lips*
