(NSFW) VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

Dawn broke over the castle and once again it seemed that whatever insidious powers the vampire or vampires had remained strong, as all had fallen asleep once more. Anita woke with a jittery start, looking around like a startled bird, even at the guards stood nearby. Glancing down over the balcony she saw Karl's corpse and absent-mindedly wiped her hands on her dress, as if wanting to wash away the stain of killing a human.

"M...m....m....milday," one of the guards stuttered, pointing upwards. For a moment Anita dared not, but steeling her soul she cast her eyes upwards.

Once again the victim had been stripped naked and mutilated, only this time in a much more macabre fashion. His genitals whilst still present in a fashion had been horribly slashed to ribbons. His body was held in midair by a series of poles that had been expertly slid into nearby chandliers, and then thrust into the man's body. Two had been thrust into the rectum to support the lower body, whilst another two had been thrust through the nipples and out of his back to support the upper. Finally two shorter posts pierced the eyes to hold up the head. The overall form was of a man arching back, head in heavenly supplication. It was the back that was most horrific however. From the waist the skin had been delicately peeled from the muscle, revealing the ribs and spine, left only attached by the shoulders. Then split into two the pieces down the centre, they had been elaborately arranged over the protruding poles, to stretch upward and out. For all intents and purposes the man now held up in the air appeared to have the bloody wings of an angel.

The final insult was the gory artefact now stuffed into the dead man's mouth, the very limp remains of the virility of Bastion.

Anita's piercing shriek rang through the castle...................

[mod]Obadiah Bauman/ The Ice Lord has been killed by a vampire! In death he has been revealed as.....human.

The day has now started......good luck......:devil2:[/mod]

*Huddles in the bed pressed up against the headboard, the quilts wrapped around her protectively she buried her face in the quilt, hearing the scream a shudder hand through her entire body, moving to the edge of the bed to stand, her knees weak at the though of what waited in the hall she moved to the door holding onto the furniture around her so as not to fall, reaching the door she swallowed, bracing her legs against the wall and back against the set of draws she slowly but surely shoved it out of the way of the door.
Opening the door she shuffled out onto the landing and trudged down the steps to the main hall slowly as if damnation itself waited for her at the bottom*

Still clutching the bottle from the night before Lucien stumbled into the main chamber. "What is all the commotion?" he asked wearily whilst rubbing his eyes "My head is pounding, is there any chance you..." noticing fresh blood pooled upon the floor he looks up in horror and drops the bottle in shock.

"Oh gods, wha.. who.. is that Obadiah?" he barely manages to stammer.

Mihael entered the main room extremely drowsily, rubbing his even darker than normal eyes. Glancing up he tutted in irritation.

"Looks like o was wrong about how the vampires though after all" he muttered.

slowly he put on his new clothes for the day: a sleeveless leather jacket, revealing his milky white, slim arms, and some black trousers, with chains attached to them in seemingly random places. One of his hands always fiddled with one of the chains.

Kate and Markus re entered the main hall slightly after Mihael. Their hair and clothing looking thoroughly dishevelled but were smiling. However upon seeing the others looking at the roof she paused, looked up and her jaw dropped, her eyes going wide.
"No." She whispered desperately. "No,no,no, not him. I liked him. He was our friend." Kate said softly.
"He spoke out against Antonio the vampire. They must have wanted revenge. They'll come for us next, Kate. They know we are on the right track." Markus said swiftly, his eyes straying to Lucien. "We can't hide. They will find us. They will kill us. They will take off all our clothes! and our skin! They will take off our skin!" Markus said his voice raising to a terrified scream, his eyes wild as he backed up to the wall but then he stopped as his body went limp and then Kate strode forward.
"Obadiah. You were a good man. You didn't think I was crazy or mad. Together we executed the vampire Markus and his despicable friend Karl. Because of your intelligent and perceptive mind you have been murdered. I will not stand for this. By Sigmar I swear I shall find out who did this to you and I shall drive a wooden stake through their shrivelled heart! You shall not take any more of my friends vampires! Do you hear me? I don't fear you!" She cried out savagely

Serethia did not utter a word or even glare at someone when she walked into the Hall and her eyes found the stringed up coprse. There where even no screams, instead she turned around and ran to the nearest corner and what little food and wine was in her stomach she simply forced out through her mouth.

"Ugh!"

With one shaking hand gripping her waist and the other resting against the wall, she remains at her new spot! Apparently waiting for stomach and nerves to calm down.

Flynn hurried into the hall after the others and followed their gaze upwards.

"Well." he said, then paused, face pale.

"I guess you could say that..."

He hesitated again, averting his gaze from the corpse of Obadiah.

"...I can't think of a joke. Yeahh."

Abruptly Flynn doubled over emptied his stomach onto the floor in front of him.

The ghoul-like figured emerged from the shadows again. Under his thick mask of war paint, it was impossible to tell if his facial expression changed much at all in reaction to the grisly and prominent sight of Obadiah's dead body. However he let out a low growl at its sight.

"Another man paid the price for proving his innocence. " He said in his customary gravelly tone of voice, the kind that could either scare a petty thief into soiling his breeches, or make one wonder if he needed an apothecary.

"Do not be so quick as to posthumously condemn Karl who defended another he truly believed was innocent. Sincerity has nothing to do with being correct." He said to Kate.

Sigmund entered the hall, he was dressed in the same plain clothing he had wore the day before, he looked up at the corpse with an expression of fury.

"Monsters." he hissed.

Closing his eyes the knight attempted to calm himself as he whispered a prayer to Myrmidia.

Glaring at the hostess and her guards his anger renewed itself.

"Get him down!". he spat.

Caleb stared in horror at the arrangement before him. His eyes grew cold and his expression hardened.

"No more," he whispered.

 

[Nikos]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

To Kate/Marcus
"Spare me your theatrics. There is little chance of you ending up like that" Lucien sneered as he pointed upwards to Obadiah's ruined corpse "Unless your planning to attack yourself this evening. Nice to see you are still incapable of expressing human emotion when it comes to Karl."

Lucien staggered towards the chair he had occupied yesterday. "No more drink, I must try to eat something" he mutters pausing to steady himself by gripping the table "But how can I in this forsaken abattoir?"

Gregor walked listlessly into the room, bags under his eyes. He entered the hall and stopped, staring at Obadiah's corpse.

He stood there for about a minute, motionless.
"I... I need to... Damn it all, buck up Gregor. You've faced worse. Situations where two of the sharper members of your companions have been violently and bloodily murdered... No, no you haven't."
He straightened his back, tugging violently on his tweed jacket to straighten it.
"Very well then. It falls to me to do the sleuthing that their deaths have revealed. I can imbibe alcohol later."

He marched purposefully to the table, grabbed some of the ever decreasing food supplies and sat mechanically eating, his face a cold mask.

Waking up with a yawn Ulfr gazed around the room "ugh my head hurts" he muttered before seeing Obidiah "damn not another poor bastard, looks like we found funny man's missing part, cursed vampires" he said grimly before turning to Markus/ Kate "Don't even start you bastard, disgracing the name of an honourable man even when he is dead don't you have any respect"

Mihael yawned boredly, taking out what looked like chocolate merged with raisins.

"So, who thinks who is a vampire now the two prime suspects were human?" he chuckled.

 

[The Archivist]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

Gregor gulped down a glass of water before turning back to the room.
"I'd like to cross-examine Serethia."

 

[Shareya]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

Serethia was still at her corner when she lifted her right hand, giving a small wave. Seemingly she has no intention of turning around to look at the corpse again but at least she is paying some attention to what is being said.

"I ...think that means you want to ask me questions, go ahead. Anything is better then listening to that chocolate eating freak."

 

[Mello]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

Half through a mouthful of chocolate, Mihael added innocently.

"Well last time I tried keeping quiet, you accused me of keeping facts to myself, make your mind up."

 

[Shareya]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

To Mihael
"Facts to yourself..? From the very beginning I have seen you as nothing more as some...freak! You break down when you are accused of being a vampire and even get votes, then later you are the most arrogant person in the world! Mocking others when they cast a bad vote while hinting how you have or are figuring everything out with ease!"

Serethia managed to turn her head just enough to toss a venomous glare at Micheal but then quickly enough she returned her gaze to the wall to avoid seeing the displayed corpse.

To everyone.
"Could someone take him...down and take him away!*

 

[Nikos]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

To Serethia

"It would pay to reign in your temper Lady." Lucien said whilst drumming his fingers upon the table "The creepy little oddity is no doubt trying to get some type of reaction he can twist against you."

To Mihael
"You have had another night to think, well actually who knows what you were up to..." his face wrinkled in disgust as he cast a glance to Kate/Marcus "care to enlighten us to who it is on this day? Or will yet again attempt to pass of your pointless ramblings as cryptic insight?"

 

[Mello]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

To Lucien

Mihael raised an amused eyebrow.

"Well to be honest I think as of all the surviving people here, we have no concrete evidence to pin anyone as a vampire, however, on a total hunch I am suspecting Gregor." he inclined his head politely.

"No hard feelings at all." he said equally politely, before wrecking the mood by stuffing a whole bar into his mouth and chewing slowly.

"Besides" he added messily. "you were correct about me seeking reactions from all of you, congratulations on that."

 

[Nikos]

RE: VAU IC: The Fangtastical and Arousing Tale of Anita Jacqueofff

To Mihael
"Gregor?" Lucien arched an eyebrow and looked at the unkempt scholar "Would you care to elaborate? Or maybe even stop playing your games and back this hunch with an actual vote? Something you have been unable to do these past days."



"Ah, what the hell." Lucien said as his gaze fell upon an half empty bottle of brandy.
He fills a glass and partakes of a large draught "That is infinitely better" he mutters to himself.
Lucien stretched and rocked back upon his chair.


To Gregor
"You hear this Professor?" he calls out across the table "The boy here says your a vampire. Do his sums stack up? What odds would you now give on any of us getting out of this madhouse alive?"

 

[Count michael]

"If anyone is a vampire it is the "it"( pointing at Markus/ Kate) and you strange one ( pointing at Mihael) both of you wanted Karl dead badly" Ulfr said whilst gazing at Obidiah's corpse before turning to face Mihael "By the Gods your a bastard the whole time you preached to the rest of the fools how Karl was the Vampire because of your so called evidence" spitting at the floor "Then you have the damn nerve to deny it all saying you didn't vote for him as it was obvious he wasn't to try saving your miserable skin, if anyone deserves to die it is you and your bitch/ bastard or what ever the damn hell that thing is" pointing at Markus/ Kate

Picking up the nearest bottle of whisky and swigging from it to calm himself Ulfr turned to the others
"SO any ideas how we get him down" gesturing to Obadiah's corpse whilst drinking from the bottle

 

[The Archivist]

Gregor raised an eyebrow at Lucien.
"As Bastion pointed out two days ago, my maths is a bit too rusty for calculating odds. As for Mihael's suspicions, I deny them, as anyone would, but the issue is whether I have decent reasons for suspicious or unusual actions. I would argue that I, compared to some people, have a lot less evidence stacked against them."
"Serethia, for example. Might I ask you what your opinion of Caleb is?"

 

[Mello]

Mihael grinned devilishly at the people who lashed out at him, chewing contemplatively on a bar in his left hand.

"I haven't bothered with voting merely because I haven't been 100% sure, as no one can really, and the people already voted for pretty much matched my levels of suspicion proportionately.

The reason for suspecting Gregor is simple, no evidence of such." he bit a large chunk of chocolate off and chewed, thinking momentarily, before continuing.

"Although this seems highly hypocritical, Gregor is one of the sharper minds, and has been leading us rather admirably through our investigations. And.. an old friend of mine of the name of 'Light' did a similar thing, he was a mass murderer, and hid himself by being the head of the very investigation team set out to find him."

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Rosa felt worse than queasy when she saw the horrific corpse of Obadiah. She felt sick, violently so, and communicated this feeling by running to the privy and emptying her previous dinner into one of the cubicles. Cleaning herself up best she could, Rosa returned to the main hall, and sat as far away from the body as possible, keeping her eyes away.

"I... I just don't know what to think any more," she said. "How can we forgive ourselves? We... we killed Karl, and he was innocent. And now Obadiah's gone too..."
