Correspondence (To Tino, and Silent)
Permalink Closed

It wasn't that Eden couldn't appreciate the delicacy of the situation. More simply that in that moment she didn't particularly care. Things were getting heated up in the city of Rome and she could feel the frenzied panic around her. The panic that led to a mod. The humans were scared, and well they should always be, but at the moment their fear had to do with the picture in the paper that had showed the latest crime at the Trevi Fountain. A body had been lashed to Neptune with its head in a rather precarious position against the Sea Gods genitals. Eden failed to find it funny.

Around her the humans whispered among themselves and speculated about the recent crimes, and her power ached for them. They were so ripe for the picking, and she knew that with just the slightest push of her power she could send them rolling over the edge into an utter frenzy that wouldn't stop until bodies lined the streets of Rome. But down down down she choked the desires of her power. Life was about more than power for her these days.

As she walked the streets the soft fall of her boots heel accompanied her steps, but other that that purposeful display of sound there was nothing very human in the way she moved. Tall and long legged Eden moved like a stalking predator instead of a woman. But given a second to look her over and you could easily tell that she was all women regardless of the peculiarities of her birthrite. Her course only stopped when she saw a figure standing in the shadowed door way of a closed down shop. It was a figure she recognized instantly.

Clinton Sirus was a man who dealt in the currency of secrets. A man who had fingers in a lot of places that he just shouldn't have. Which led Eden to believe that there was more to Clinton than met the eye. He obviously believed the same about her because regardless of their long business association he never met with her anywhere that wasn't very public and as well lit as you could get at night. Of course Eden couldn't blame him. If even a fraction of the lives she had stolen haunted her gaze then she was sure she was one difficult woman to be around.

In a fluid step she rose up to stand beside him beneath the small canopy that came out from the doorway of the abandoned shop and looked into his eyes, even as he was carefully not meeting hers. The whites of his eyes had gone yellow long ago and not for the first time she wondered just how old he really was. Smoke curled up around them as he blew out a lungful of it, but thankfully not in her direction. Finally Eden moved her gaze back out to the street, and once her dual colored eyes were no longer on him he looked at her. Typical flesh bag.

Murder was the topic of the night, and one she was more than comfortable with. "I couldn't get much. I tried mind you but my sources run dry sometimes. No name. No name at all. Not that that matters much with your sort." His voice sounded rough and yet high pitched at the same time. Very grating on the nerves and something that she couldn't take for very long. And every few words he smacked his lips together and made his greying beard move just like a billy goat. "Time goes on and you just keep changing your names. Makes it hard for anyone to keep up. But what I did get, might be better than a name."

The man laughed as he pulled something from out of the pocket of his khaki trench coat and started to hand it towards her. Eden reached for it and he pulled it back making her turn to glare at him and see what game he was playing. But he was shaking with fear and holding out his hand for payment. Without so much as a breath of responce Eden handed over the folded bills that were already counted out for this purpose. Information always came at a price. Once the folded bills were in his hands he practically flung the object at him. Something wrapped in a hankercheif.

Holding the wadded hankercheif in the palm of her hand she pulled back the folded edges and looked at the tasty bits she'd been given. Fingers. Severed fingers, from the victim she assumed. "Fingers off the latest victim." Nothing like a little confirmation. Clintons face looked disgusted and proud all at the same time. "Best parts under the nails." his laugh sounded again as he gesticulated towards what she was holding and counted his money. Eden lifted the hankercheif closer to her nose and took a long slow sniff of the nail area. Her beast sprang up from within her and took in the scent of vampire. Flesh and blood there under the nails. Something recognizeable. Good.

"Thank you Clinton. Goodbye Clinton."

They were the only words she had spoken in their entire exchange. And he couldn't really tell her goodbye because he didn't know her name, but as he'd pointed out...when it came to vampires names weren't very important. Eden stepped off the stoop and headed left, knowing that Clinton would turn right and move to blend back with the crowd. Both of them disappearing into plain sight as if they hadn't just been doing something strange.

Tucking her little gift away in the pocket of her khaki trench coat she let her mind tumble over the possibilities of what she could do with this information. Part of her wanted to call Silent and let the Ulfric who was also a hunter take care of the matter, but she knew that this could be used as a bargaining chip and didn't want to waste that opportunity. So the first person she called was Tino.

"I have a gift. I'm on my way."

And that was all she said as she was hailing a taxi. Hanging up that call she pulled on the handle of the taxis door and gave the drivers directions to take her to Tino's home. Then she made the second call to Silent. It rang several times and she almost hoped the woman would pick up directly, but she didn't. Instead she got the answering machine and left yet another message.

"Silent. I have something that might interest your Ulfric. I must speak with my Master about this first. Then you will meet with me."

The accent she spoke with was slight, just the edge of the Ukraine or Russia coming out in her vowels. But it explained some of the simplicity of her speech and the shortness of her tone. Hanging up from the second call she slipped the phone in her pocket, not the pocket with Thing in it though, and leaned back in the seat of the taxi. In the rear view mirror she could see the driver watching her, trying to eye her body, and it made Edens lips turn down in a slight frown. Maybe when they got to Tino's she would feed from him and blank his memory. It would save her the price of a taxi fare.

Silent laid on her stomach on the carpet in the middle of the living room in front of the tv.. The bright pink x-box controller in one hand and in the other was a can of dr pib.Silent had been on one of those crazy give me pixie sticks and cafine and a video game moments most the night...It was also one of those moments when she missed some of the younger pack mates that once filled the house. She would of loved someone to cover her back in the new silent hill game..those oogy boogities came out of nowhere on ya.

So when her cell phone went off it wasnt that she was ignoring the call...Just that she had missed it while fighting off one of those acid spitting half naked nurses in the alley way of the hospital.And while yes she missed the sound of her cell going off the vibration of her voice mail was hard to miss.

Reaching into her shirt she would grab her cell from its hiding spot in her bra...Pressing ok she would listen to the computer voice announcing she had one new voice mail...Only to hear Eden's voice. The mere sound of it sent shivers down her spine...and not in a bad way mind you..It was a cross of a desire to posses..and to be such...And it wasnt that omg i want to fuck you kind of way..Silent wanted to know more about this woman...To study her.

"I'll speak to my ulfric. Name the place and time to meet..."

From there Silent saved her game grabbed her car keys and headed down to the Asylum where Ash was working on his hobby in the green house. Time to tell him about the woman.See what he thought of her
