[He was actually going to turn this thing on to see if anybody needed any help getting to the clinic or something, but that changes pretty quickly. He sets the tablet down with a sharp intake of breath as he grabs his abdomen, just below his ribcage with a free hand. Even as he does, the deep red blood of a deep wound starts to spread into his ( Read more... )

[He's already checked the board. He knows it's true, and he hates it.]

If anybody knows her, Voodoo's gone.

[And that's all. The feed ends.]

[The video cuts on to show a seedy bar, dim with a haze of smoke hanging in the air as it focuses on a table littered with beer bottles. Cole is there, smiling drunkenly seductive at a blond sitting next to him who looks thoroughly disgusted with his existence ( Read more... )

So, the graveyard's still around. At least the dead have decided to stay asleep the last couple of days. You know, except the ones who pour your drinks. Those poor saps never get a day off, even in the afterlife.

[He scoffs.That's a shitty thought: life sucks, then you die, and you still gotta punch in. Welcome to the Underworld! You lived a ( Read more... )

[The video cuts on showing a perspective that's fairly close to the floor. Cole has his mask bound around his head like a bandana and he's got a cigarette between his lips as he looks to the camera. Not much around him is viewable, but he's certainly not in his home.If you left your house in the last day or so, you probably noticed you can't get ( Read more... )

[The feed opens as Cole accidentally nudges the device. Normally he wouldn't have brought the damned device with him to the bar, but some people needed an eye kept on them, and depressed as he was, he wasn't about to abandon them. From the way he's mubling gently to himself, he's probably had a couple of shots, and he's most likely not nursing his ( Read more... )

[The audio's quick, short, and less than sweet. Cole has his game voice on.]

We've been pussy-footing around with Mr. Top-Hat long enough. Who knows what about Dracula?

/End Filter

Private to Elena

So, what's this about you giving yourself to Dracula to save everybody else, besides dumb, I mean.

[The audio clicks on to the sound of a zippo as Cole lights a cigarette. He's speaking quietly, but that's the only indication that something might be wrong.Okay, so. I know I'm still fairly new around here, but I believe what we all saw last night is what I'd call "changing the game". As somebody else already pointed out, we're still here. Can ( Read more... )

[The video feed cuts on askew. The owner of this device certainly didn't mean to turn it on. In fact, the owner is obviously very preoccupied. The feed is at an angle, and what that angle reveals is of Cole, crawling on his hands and knees, sheer stone walls behind him, across a floor completely obscured by the thick layer of shattered glass ( Read more... )

[By the look of Cole's surroundings, he seems to have found the training yard. On a weapons rack int he background can be seen a large array of weapons ranging from polearms like bladed glaives to two-handed swords like claymores, one-handed swords, daggers, and knives, as well as a collection of Katana and tanto. To complete the collection, you ( Read more... )
