Eric looks around the penthouse and shrugs, admitting that it is perfect. He unpacks hurriedly, wondering when he's going to hear from the Courts here. He goes to the balcony, taking in the sight of the Hills and grunting in surprise that the air isn't that much warmer than back home for a wonder. He glances at his phone and shakes his head, knowing that the sun hasn't set back home yet. Instead he dials a different number, taking the call out in the mid-afternoon sun for a change. "Hi Joy. It's me. I'm settled in whenever he wants to see me..... Yeah. I just took the jet rather than fly commercial. Faster," he explains simply. "Yeah. I'm at the Beverly Hills Hotel.... No, if I'd been determined to travel in style, I would have brought my wife and we'd need a second plane to haul away the comp'ed loot.... Alright. Just call me when you get the details and I'll either be ready to meet you or I'll go see some of the sights while I'm here." He hangs up the phone and turns on the TV looking for a weather report to see just how warm it is outside. He snorts again and shakes his head at the same temperature it is in Cape Breton. He turns off the tv and puts the remote back on the coffee table before going to set up his laptop at the desk.

He checks his email and turns off the computer for now, exploring the suite briefly and telling himself for the hundredth time that he needs an assistant for times like this, noting all the tasks and errands he'd like to have done since he doesn't have time to see to them himself. He drums his fingers on his chin, considering the matter fondly before chuckling to himself and getting up again. He finishes the tour of the bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room and back to the den. He pockets his phone and wanders back out to the balcony for the novelty of sunlight if not for the heat today. "Maybe when I get back," he tells himself idly, still thinking about an assistant. The phone rings, drawing him out of his thoughts and he answers it quickly. "Hello? Well that was certainly fast. Either I'm in more serious trouble than I anticipated or he's truly desperate to ask me for something. I'll be downstairs shortly." He hangs up the phone, feeling suddenly apprehensive. He quickly sends a text to Adri. Hey. Just got settled and unpacked. Sun's not down there yet, but my first meeting is about to start, so I wanted to send you the message. Something doesn't feel right here. I'll keep you posted, but I may be back tonight if this meeting goes poorly. He sighs and takes his skeleton key with him, having left the rest of his keys home. He drapes it around his neck from a chain to hang low on his chest. After a moment's thought, he empties his pockets of everything except cash, putting the contents in the room safe and locking it. He gives the room a final sweep at a glance, fixing the location of everything and picks up his keycard for the suite. He places the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door and heads for the elevator, wiping the worry from his face before he reaches the lobby.

He steps outside, wishing he'd thought to pack sunglasses and glances around, refusing to wince. He spots Joy immediately and walks over to the statuesque blonde. "You're still taller than me," he says sourly, but with a bit of a smile. "You look good Joy. Socal agrees with you." He slips his arms around her waist and gives her a brief hug before stepping back.
She returns the hug with a dazzling grin. "Hey Shorty!" she says enthusiastically. "I'm glad you came. I don't think anyone really expected you to." She leads the way to a pink convertable Beetle. and gets behind the wheel. "Thanks." she says softly. "I owe you."
He gives her a rueful smirk at being called Shorty and gets in the passenger seat. "I wasn't going to until you put that offer on the table. So what does he want anyway? Or is he still keeping you in the dark?" He buckles in and closes his eyes, letting his senses roam to the plant life in the area, trying to get a sense of the city from them using Lore of the Wild as they drive.
"I dunno," she says with a slight tremor of confusion at the lack of information. "I guess since it's about you, they don't want anyone to know what's up. All I know is that we're going to the Court now. The Ministers and the Tyrant are already there." She drives quickly through the mid-afternoon traffic, taking him deeper into the heart of the city.

He opens his eyes and looks over at her, shock plain on his face. "The whole Court? At this hour? Oh fuck. What am I into now?" He murmurs to himself. "I thought that we were going to be talking to your boss and then maybe the Court after he's put his spin on things." He runs a hand through his hair, wondering if the key's going to be enough to get him out of this. Worried for the first time, he starts watching the neighborhoods as they pass, feeling his pulse race with tightly restrained panic.
She glances over at him before returning her eyes to the road. "I wish I could tell ya," she says sympathetically. "I do know there's been nothing about you that's come out lately so it could just be something routine." She tries to make her voice optimistic. "Look, the session's closed, so there's not gonna be any of the normal audience. Just you and the Ministers and the Tyrant. I'm not even allowed in. I'm to show you in and then wait for the meeting to end. They wouldn't have told me to wait if they were just gonna kill you, right?"
Eric looks at her with a sour look on his face. "If we both get out of this alive," he says softly. "You and I are gonna work on your people-skills. That just means they may expect to have to make you push a mop after the meeting's done. Five Ministers and the Tyrant..." he repeats to himself, wishing he had thought to bring some of the weapons from home. He takes a deep breath, trying to prepare himself. The two of them lapse into an awkward silence for the rest of the trip. She finally pulls up to a large three-story brick building and gets out.
"This is it," she says, walking to the door and pulling out an odd-shaped key to unlock it. She holds it open for him and follows him inside. The foyer is darkly panelled in mohogany and gives the impression of age. She leads the way through the outer rooms, each standing disconcertingly empty at this hour. She finally pushes open a pair of double doors to the central room.
Eric follows her in and glances around the room, smiling slightly at the lack of ferns or plants in the room. The Court is carpeted in crimson which in the dimly lit atmosphere makes it look like he's treading each step in blood. The room takes up a good portion of the building with a galleries on the second and third floors. At the moment, the room is empty of furniture other than a long oak table where the five Ministers sit and the raised dais where the Tyrant presides directly behind the center seat at the table.

He waits while Joy introduces him and watches her withdraw, his face smooth. Now that he's here, the tension lessens. It is what it is, he tells himself silently. He steps forward and inclines his head. "Ministers, Lady Kishar," he says respectfully enough. He pauses, picking his words carefully. "I am honored to be granted so prestigious an audience, but I confess some confusion as to its necessity. I had expected a slightly less....intimate greeting."
The Tyrant leans forward from her throne and smiles sharpy. "So you can be civil when it suits you," she says tartly. "I have been led to believe you to be a renegade of the highest order. You brandish rebelion against authority like a club, swinging it wildly at all who try to impose order into your life. You refuse the company of your own, carve out your own kingdom far from the concerns of others and, if the rumors are to be believed, you cannibalize your brothers when they cross your path. Have you any redeeming qualities or are you determined to be of no use to the Elohim?" She leans forward, the lean bony facade of an elderly black woman, her pinched features making her seem ancient.
He arches an eyebrow, gauging his response and his mouth twists sourly. "I have no interest in politics. I never did. What small influnce the Morningstar bestowed on me was for my actions on the field, not my skill with prose. You're right. I do have little to do with our kind. I do challenge or ignore authority and when I've made an enemy, I do destroy them rather than wait blindly for them to return with a new face and a burning hatred. This is my world now. If Heaven hasn't fallen during our imprisonment, it is beyond our sight. If it has, then it no longer matters. This world is what we have and I will defend my portion of it with murderous intent. If you've called me here to pass judgement on me for the deaths of our brothers then spare me the trial and bring forth your executioner. I am guilty and will doubtless be guilty again when he arrives to try passing sentence." He glares at the Tyrant, angered by being brought here for this.
Unexpectedly, she leans back and smiles, satisfied. "Good," she says, folding her hands in her lap. "Oh calm yourself, boy!" she snaps. "We've brought you here strictly because of what you do. We have a problem here and you're the only one that we can reliably locate that's faced its like. There's an Earthbound in the city somewhere. We want you to kill it. It can't go back to the Pit. It'll have its servants create a new reliquary and return stronger than before and like you said, it'd want revenge on the city where it happened if it couldn't get at the Fallen responsible."

"An Earthbound? Here?" he repeats, his mind racing as he thinks about Gorgolgothol and the destruction of half the house fighting him. "How could you possibly know about that? There's no one who could have-" He cuts off and swears the most obscene Enochian curse he knows, thinking about Patricia and what a perfect little recording device everyone remarked about her being. "Gorgolgothol was fresh from the Abyss and I had help fighting him. The Reliquaries are unbelievably durable. What you're asking is for me to walk out into greater LA, find an object that could be the size of a hat-pin, destroy it against all odds and then personally consume the full Torment of an irredeemably corrupt Elohim and hope to whatever I still believe in that it doesn't scour my mind away in the bargain." He stares from face to face, anger turning to cold disbelief. "What could you possibly offer me to make this a plausible proposal?" He asks, shocked and apalled that they would ask.

The Ministers grumble amongst themselves about the nerve of demanding payment but they're silenced by a stern sound from the throne. "You're right," she says, narrowing her eyes at him. "This is hardly a favor asked casually. Given your situation, money is a worthless offer. You have enough of your own. We have a small stock of Syir. We can offer you 6 bars of it."
Eric shakes his head. "I have 8 already. I located a Bastion that had some surprises still waiting to be recovered. Malefactors that I've spoken with have expressed some misgivings about its temperment in the modern age anyway. They sense a...resentment of their long abandonment. I may accept that as part of my price, but it's not quite the kingly prize it once was." He falls silent, scratching his chin, lost in his own thoughts while they bargain.
She nods and leans back. "I can place our Malefactors at your disposal for the creation of a Relic of your choosing. They are far more adept at working the Syir than others, even if they are learned in the Lore of the Forge. We can also pledge to return the aid should your domain ever be threatened. The Most Vigilant Watcher informs me that you have faced rising tides of undead. We would be kindly disposed to help you scour them from your domain."
Eric arches an Eyebrow, glancing at the Minister of Eagles. "Then I am certain the Most Vigilant Watcher is also aware that I am on excellent terms with the resident Cainites and that our problems were caused externally. "If I can also count on teaching in Lores I am not familiar with and I can count on free reign and total cooperation in my hunt, then we have a pact. The girl, Joy, she was to be released by her Master in exchange for my presence here. I will expect that agreement to be honored as well as I have more than fulfilled its terms." He nods, still distracted and daunted by the task ahead, but at least with a clearer idea of what he was going to do. "I'll be bringing in additional help. I wasn't exagerating about that."

Adrianna awakes and reaches over picking up her phone, looking at the text message reading it over not liking that Eric was getting a bad feeling about the situation that he finds himself. She sits up and runs her fingers through her hair and sighs knowing that he was probably still preoccupied with the meeting or he would have called again or at least messaged but she knew he was still alive that much she could sense. She slid the sheets for her naked pale form still not spending the blood to appear the slightest bit mortal as she thought about ways to make her verify her senses, she stood and walked over to the window and pulled back the drapes looking at the moonlight as she sighed lightly.

“ I’m waiting to hear back from Eric , he is out of town on business “ she nodded softly and tired to relax not giving you details you didn’t know about him these things were not hers to tell. She looked at her phone again , playing with the buttons making sure she had a signal and that she didn’t miss another then looked rather sad when she didn’t miss anything and it was simply there was no other message to see. She looked over her shoulder at Vlad trying to put her head back in the game that was before her “ So your thoughts of our little meeting with Bishop the other evening and the introduction of the two new kindred I assume some night soon we will need to tell them who I actually am in the city even though it is amusing to keep them in the dark but it is not proper for me to play with them in such a matter. “ She moved away from you and paced around the room checking her phone much more then she normally does, almost seeming like one of those incessant teens that flood the coffee shops constantly checking their electronic devices.

The Tyrant nods. "Done!" she says quickly. "Agreed to before you ask for the fillings from my teeth." She snorts in amusement. "We may have one other trivial matter to discuss later, but let's not put the cart before the horse. Find this Earthbound and snuff him out. Then we'll talk about less issues. The girl will take you back to your hotel or where ever else you might want to go." She nods her head, clearly dismissing him.
Eric gives her a more formal bow and another nod of his head to the Ministers before turning to leave. He walks back through the other rooms of the Court and pushes open the heavy outter door, recaoiling from the bright sunlight after the dim lighting inside. "GAH!" he yells, flinging an arm across his eyes for a moment till they get used to the light.
"So how'd it go?" Joy asks with a nervous grin. "I mean, is everything okay?"
"Oh swell," he says sarcastically as he lowers his arm experimentally. He blinks a couple of times and decides his sight will return. He sighs and nods. "You're in the clear. I made sure to remind them that I'd lived up to my part of the bargain and they'll see that your boss doesn't try staying your boss." He walks over to the car and leans over, putting his forehead on the hood of the car. "I'm pretty fucked though. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he calls himself softly. He pushes himself upright and sighs again. "I need." he declares ardently. "Sunglasses, first. Food second and then something strong to wash the taste out when I throw up. Let's go." He gets in the car, staring wide-eyed at nothing in particular while he waits for her to get in.

I nodded lightly when you said you were waiting to hear back from Eric , and I took note about how often you really where checking your phone it seemed odd to me that you were going at it this much , I would almost be tempted to pull your phone from your hands and toss it aside so that you could worry less about it but I assume right now that would be far worse than actually having you worry so right now I would leave you to your phone checking over and over and just try and ignore it , I would hear you words and I would offer you a smile nodding lightly again it was funny to me as well to have kept them in the dark "Bishop is going to be trying to take over them like he assumes you have with me honestly if they want to do that , I am okay with it Issol will come to me to get training and then go home and she is free to do what she wants , but I want to see their faces when you say oh yeah im the prince " I nodded before moving over to you again " Adrianna if you keep checking that you are going to drive yourself insane just turn the volume up really loud so we won't miss it"

No, things are far worse than I originally thought. I figured they were just planning on executing me for some reason or another. No, no. Turns out they have much worse in store for me.

They only have one teensy little Earthbound that they want cleaned up. Idiot that I am, I for some reason found myself talked into agreeing to it. An Earthbound. Here. In LA. At least we don't have a house it can smash out here.....Do we? I never really went looking through all the properties you owned. I just assumed you'd avoid buying real estate somewhere predominantly described as sunny after all. I suppose I should have checked before I booked a hotel here. It only makes sense to use the place if we own...." He trails off, aware again that he's babbling faster and faster. "I'll stop now," he promises.

“ They have a what problem, and you what .. agreed to dealing with it for them ? It would be like me calling you and saying ohhhh we just have an elder abomination tearing through the city that is tapped into the darkest of each of this ancestry but no worries I’ll handle it …. Please tell me they are giving you something worth the work … “ she seemed completely calm the business side of her taking over instead of allowing herself to become worried and upset. “ And no we don’t own property in that anarch ridden hell hole … “ she shook her head “ I know how they got you to agree they make deals for their exsistence …” she took another break “ Okay I’ll stop now… “ she sighed “ what can I help with so that I can get you home “

I would try and not listen in but you seemed pretty pissed off and well with you talk about abominations and the like and I would tilt my head wonder just what you were making that comparison to what was it that Eric agreed to do that had you so off key but you seemed to be keeping yourself in check mostly I was getting more and more hints into Eric being much much more than a ghoul but the problem was that wasn't helpful it could mean anything from him being an Abomination to him being fairy or well anything I guess sighing lightly at this thought process because it wasn't helping me any

He nods unconsciously, not processing that you can't see it right now. "I know. It's like finding out that one of the Antideluvians is tearing up Ravage and agreeing to go punch him in the face. Stupid. As soon as it came out of my mouth, I knew." He shakes his head violently, trying to shake off the panic and holds the phone back to his ear. He thinks about learning the last of the Lore knowledge he needs to separate you and Liz and he nods again, more calmly, almost normal. "Yeah. I managed to get something worth the effort from them." He sighs. "I'm not really as screwed as I sound," he promises. "It's just a bit of a shock is all and I'm not looking forward to eatting that much corruption. I don't know what I need for help yet. Maybe a way to search the city for his Reliquary. That's where the fight has to be. It'll be hidden and possibly well-guarded, although he might not want to draw attention to its location. You think there's anything in the Library that might help?" he asks, trying to be sureptitious about asking if there's a thaumaturgical ritual that might help.

Eric looks around the penthouse and shrugs, admitting that it is perfect. He unpacks hurriedly, wondering when he's going to hear from the Courts here. He goes to the balcony, taking in the sight of the Hills and grunting in surprise that the air isn't that much warmer than back home for a wonder. He glances at his phone and shakes his head, knowing that the sun hasn't set back home yet. Instead he dials a different number, taking the call out in the mid-afternoon sun for a change. "Hi Joy. It's me. I'm settled in whenever he wants to see me..... Yeah. I just took the jet rather than fly commercial. Faster," he explains simply. "Yeah. I'm at the Beverly Hills Hotel.... No, if I'd been determined to travel in style, I would have brought my wife and we'd need a second plane to haul away the comp'ed loot.... Alright. Just call me when you get the details and I'll either be ready to meet you or I'll go see some of the sights while I'm here." He hangs up the phone and turns on the TV looking for a weather report to see just how warm it is outside. He snorts again and shakes his head at the same temperature it is in Cape Breton. He turns off the tv and puts the remote back on the coffee table before going to set up his laptop at the desk.

He checks his email and turns off the computer for now, exploring the suite briefly and telling himself for the hundredth time that he needs an assistant for times like this, noting all the tasks and errands he'd like to have done since he doesn't have time to see to them himself. He drums his fingers on his chin, considering the matter fondly before chuckling to himself and getting up again. He finishes the tour of the bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room and back to the den. He pockets his phone and wanders back out to the balcony for the novelty of sunlight if not for the heat today. "Maybe when I get back," he tells himself idly, still thinking about an assistant. The phone rings, drawing him out of his thoughts and he answers it quickly. "Hello? Well that was certainly fast. Either I'm in more serious trouble than I anticipated or he's truly desperate to ask me for something. I'll be downstairs shortly." He hangs up the phone, feeling suddenly apprehensive. He quickly sends a text to Adri. Hey. Just got settled and unpacked. Sun's not down there yet, but my first meeting is about to start, so I wanted to send you the message. Something doesn't feel right here. I'll keep you posted, but I may be back tonight if this meeting goes poorly. He sighs and takes his skeleton key with him, having left the rest of his keys home. He drapes it around his neck from a chain to hang low on his chest. After a moment's thought, he empties his pockets of everything except cash, putting the contents in the room safe and locking it. He gives the room a final sweep at a glance, fixing the location of everything and picks up his keycard for the suite. He places the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door and heads for the elevator, wiping the worry from his face before he reaches the lobby.

He steps outside, wishing he'd thought to pack sunglasses and glances around, refusing to wince. He spots Joy immediately and walks over to the statuesque blonde. "You're still taller than me," he says sourly, but with a bit of a smile. "You look good Joy. Socal agrees with you." He slips his arms around her waist and gives her a brief hug before stepping back.
She returns the hug with a dazzling grin. "Hey Shorty!" she says enthusiastically. "I'm glad you came. I don't think anyone really expected you to." She leads the way to a pink convertable Beetle. and gets behind the wheel. "Thanks." she says softly. "I owe you."
He gives her a rueful smirk at being called Shorty and gets in the passenger seat. "I wasn't going to until you put that offer on the table. So what does he want anyway? Or is he still keeping you in the dark?" He buckles in and closes his eyes, letting his senses roam to the plant life in the area, trying to get a sense of the city from them using Lore of the Wild as they drive.
"I dunno," she says with a slight tremor of confusion at the lack of information. "I guess since it's about you, they don't want anyone to know what's up. All I know is that we're going to the Court now. The Ministers and the Tyrant are already there." She drives quickly through the mid-afternoon traffic, taking him deeper into the heart of the city.

He opens his eyes and looks over at her, shock plain on his face. "The whole Court? At this hour? Oh fuck. What am I into now?" He murmurs to himself. "I thought that we were going to be talking to your boss and then maybe the Court after he's put his spin on things." He runs a hand through his hair, wondering if the key's going to be enough to get him out of this. Worried for the first time, he starts watching the neighborhoods as they pass, feeling his pulse race with tightly restrained panic.
She glances over at him before returning her eyes to the road. "I wish I could tell ya," she says sympathetically. "I do know there's been nothing about you that's come out lately so it could just be something routine." She tries to make her voice optimistic. "Look, the session's closed, so there's not gonna be any of the normal audience. Just you and the Ministers and the Tyrant. I'm not even allowed in. I'm to show you in and then wait for the meeting to end. They wouldn't have told me to wait if they were just gonna kill you, right?"
Eric looks at her with a sour look on his face. "If we both get out of this alive," he says softly. "You and I are gonna work on your people-skills. That just means they may expect to have to make you push a mop after the meeting's done. Five Ministers and the Tyrant..." he repeats to himself, wishing he had thought to bring some of the weapons from home. He takes a deep breath, trying to prepare himself. The two of them lapse into an awkward silence for the rest of the trip. She finally pulls up to a large three-story brick building and gets out.
"This is it," she says, walking to the door and pulling out an odd-shaped key to unlock it. She holds it open for him and follows him inside. The foyer is darkly panelled in mohogany and gives the impression of age. She leads the way through the outer rooms, each standing disconcertingly empty at this hour. She finally pushes open a pair of double doors to the central room.
Eric follows her in and glances around the room, smiling slightly at the lack of ferns or plants in the room. The Court is carpeted in crimson which in the dimly lit atmosphere makes it look like he's treading each step in blood. The room takes up a good portion of the building with a galleries on the second and third floors. At the moment, the room is empty of furniture other than a long oak table where the five Ministers sit and the raised dais where the Tyrant presides directly behind the center seat at the table.

He waits while Joy introduces him and watches her withdraw, his face smooth. Now that he's here, the tension lessens. It is what it is, he tells himself silently. He steps forward and inclines his head. "Ministers, Lady Kishar," he says respectfully enough. He pauses, picking his words carefully. "I am honored to be granted so prestigious an audience, but I confess some confusion as to its necessity. I had expected a slightly less....intimate greeting."
The Tyrant leans forward from her throne and smiles sharpy. "So you can be civil when it suits you," she says tartly. "I have been led to believe you to be a renegade of the highest order. You brandish rebelion against authority like a club, swinging it wildly at all who try to impose order into your life. You refuse the company of your own, carve out your own kingdom far from the concerns of others and, if the rumors are to be believed, you cannibalize your brothers when they cross your path. Have you any redeeming qualities or are you determined to be of no use to the Elohim?" She leans forward, the lean bony facade of an elderly black woman, her pinched features making her seem ancient.
He arches an eyebrow, gauging his response and his mouth twists sourly. "I have no interest in politics. I never did. What small influnce the Morningstar bestowed on me was for my actions on the field, not my skill with prose. You're right. I do have little to do with our kind. I do challenge or ignore authority and when I've made an enemy, I do destroy them rather than wait blindly for them to return with a new face and a burning hatred. This is my world now. If Heaven hasn't fallen during our imprisonment, it is beyond our sight. If it has, then it no longer matters. This world is what we have and I will defend my portion of it with murderous intent. If you've called me here to pass judgement on me for the deaths of our brothers then spare me the trial and bring forth your executioner. I am guilty and will doubtless be guilty again when he arrives to try passing sentence." He glares at the Tyrant, angered by being brought here for this.
Unexpectedly, she leans back and smiles, satisfied. "Good," she says, folding her hands in her lap. "Oh calm yourself, boy!" she snaps. "We've brought you here strictly because of what you do. We have a problem here and you're the only one that we can reliably locate that's faced its like. There's an Earthbound in the city somewhere. We want you to kill it. It can't go back to the Pit. It'll have its servants create a new reliquary and return stronger than before and like you said, it'd want revenge on the city where it happened if it couldn't get at the Fallen responsible."

"An Earthbound? Here?" he repeats, his mind racing as he thinks about Gorgolgothol and the destruction of half the house fighting him. "How could you possibly know about that? There's no one who could have-" He cuts off and swears the most obscene Enochian curse he knows, thinking about Patricia and what a perfect little recording device everyone remarked about her being. "Gorgolgothol was fresh from the Abyss and I had help fighting him. The Reliquaries are unbelievably durable. What you're asking is for me to walk out into greater LA, find an object that could be the size of a hat-pin, destroy it against all odds and then personally consume the full Torment of an irredeemably corrupt Elohim and hope to whatever I still believe in that it doesn't scour my mind away in the bargain." He stares from face to face, anger turning to cold disbelief. "What could you possibly offer me to make this a plausible proposal?" He asks, shocked and apalled that they would ask.

The Ministers grumble amongst themselves about the nerve of demanding payment but they're silenced by a stern sound from the throne. "You're right," she says, narrowing her eyes at him. "This is hardly a favor asked casually. Given your situation, money is a worthless offer. You have enough of your own. We have a small stock of Syir. We can offer you 6 bars of it."
Eric shakes his head. "I have 8 already. I located a Bastion that had some surprises still waiting to be recovered. Malefactors that I've spoken with have expressed some misgivings about its temperment in the modern age anyway. They sense a...resentment of their long abandonment. I may accept that as part of my price, but it's not quite the kingly prize it once was." He falls silent, scratching his chin, lost in his own thoughts while they bargain.
She nods and leans back. "I can place our Malefactors at your disposal for the creation of a Relic of your choosing. They are far more adept at working the Syir than others, even if they are learned in the Lore of the Forge. We can also pledge to return the aid should your domain ever be threatened. The Most Vigilant Watcher informs me that you have faced rising tides of undead. We would be kindly disposed to help you scour them from your domain."
Eric arches an Eyebrow, glancing at the Minister of Eagles. "Then I am certain the Most Vigilant Watcher is also aware that I am on excellent terms with the resident Cainites and that our problems were caused externally. "If I can also count on teaching in Lores I am not familiar with and I can count on free reign and total cooperation in my hunt, then we have a pact. The girl, Joy, she was to be released by her Master in exchange for my presence here. I will expect that agreement to be honored as well as I have more than fulfilled its terms." He nods, still distracted and daunted by the task ahead, but at least with a clearer idea of what he was going to do. "I'll be bringing in additional help. I wasn't exagerating about that."

She sits up and runs her fingers through her hair and sighs knowing that he was probably still preoccupied with the meeting or he would have called again or at least messaged but she knew he was still alive that much she could sense. She slid the sheets for her naked pale form still not spending the blood to appear the slightest bit mortal as she thought about ways to make her verify her senses, she stood and walked over to the window and pulled back the drapes looking at the moonlight as she sighed lightly.

“ I’m waiting to hear back from Eric , he is out of town on business “ she nodded softly and tired to relax not giving you details you didn’t know about him these things were not hers to tell. She looked at her phone again , playing with the buttons making sure she had a signal and that she didn’t miss another then looked rather sad when she didn’t miss anything and it was simply there was no other message to see. She looked over her shoulder at Vlad trying to put her head back in the game that was before her “ So your thoughts of our little meeting with Bishop the other evening and the introduction of the two new kindred I assume some night soon we will need to tell them who I actually am in the city even though it is amusing to keep them in the dark but it is not proper for me to play with them in such a matter. “ She moved away from you and paced around the room checking her phone much more then she normally does, almost seeming like one of those incessant teens that flood the coffee shops constantly checking their electronic devices.

The Tyrant nods. "Done!" she says quickly. "Agreed to before you ask for the fillings from my teeth." She snorts in amusement. "We may have one other trivial matter to discuss later, but let's not put the cart before the horse. Find this Earthbound and snuff him out. Then we'll talk about less issues. The girl will take you back to your hotel or where ever else you might want to go." She nods her head, clearly dismissing him.
Eric gives her a more formal bow and another nod of his head to the Ministers before turning to leave. He walks back through the other rooms of the Court and pushes open the heavy outter door, recaoiling from the bright sunlight after the dim lighting inside. "GAH!" he yells, flinging an arm across his eyes for a moment till they get used to the light.
"So how'd it go?" Joy asks with a nervous grin. "I mean, is everything okay?"
"Oh swell," he says sarcastically as he lowers his arm experimentally. He blinks a couple of times and decides his sight will return. He sighs and nods. "You're in the clear. I made sure to remind them that I'd lived up to my part of the bargain and they'll see that your boss doesn't try staying your boss." He walks over to the car and leans over, putting his forehead on the hood of the car. "I'm pretty fucked though. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he calls himself softly. He pushes himself upright and sighs again. "I need." he declares ardently. "Sunglasses, first. Food second and then something strong to wash the taste out when I throw up. Let's go." He gets in the car, staring wide-eyed at nothing in particular while he waits for her to get in.

I heard your phone go off and I would offer you a smile nodding lightly I knew your thoughts on Bishop you wouldn't even have to bring them up as you face lit up and you answered you phone I would walk to the other side of the room falling silent so not to bother you while you were on the phone there was no real need for me to and this was something that would make you feel better so I can handle it

"Hi Honey!" he says, his voice so artifically manic, that the edge of hysteria rings in his voice. "How's your day going? We're fine here. We're all fine now. How're you?" He winces and runs a hand through his hair, aware that he's babbling. He clamps his jaws shut, trying to get control of himself. He takes a few calming breaths aware that Joy is watching him out of the corner of her eye, a nervous expression on her face. "Sorry," he says more calmly, trying to start over. "I'm, uh, a little over-extended at the moment. I just finished my meeting and I haven't had to kill anyone.....yet."

She leaned against the window frame as she smiled hearing your voice then laughs at the forced happy on the other end of the phone “ I’m better knowing that your okay but did you take E or something …you sound like Jenna but less convincing … “ she twirled a ringlet around her finger any stress she had seemed to have melted away .. “ It’s okay , I’m just glad you glad I was getting alittle paranoid,” she pauses listening to what you were saying about not killing someone yet “So the meeting went better then you expected can I expect you home soon then ?”

Adrianna seemed to be completely relaxed now that he had called, their bond very evident or at least the hold he had on her emotions. She looked at you and smiled as she talked. She was seeming better and less crazed all the nervous behavior stopping in an instant.

I watched the shift in how you seemed to be acting as you spoke more and more the hair going around you finger and I would shake my head for a moment and then I would just slip back into to bed waiting for you as you might be awhile

He scoffs. "Don't be absurd," he says shakily. "The meeting was a complete disaster. I'm in shock and I may curl into a ball and cry when that wears off. No, things are far worse than I originally thought. I figured they were just planning on executing me for some reason or another. No, no. Turns out they have much worse in store for me. Honey, I know you're likely aware of it, but you're husband has a big fucking mouth and he rarely knows when to shut it. Assuming I get out of this, I may not speak for a month." He glumly looks out the windshield, wondering where he's supposed to start looking for a Reliquary in all this. "You might want to sit down before I tell you the details of the stupid thing I said today."

She quirks a brow at the fact you have a big mouth “ Oh Fuck …” she moved over to the bed and takes a seat she took an unneeded breath as she waits for you to tell her what the hell they have in store for you and then a thousand worse things stream through her head then your death mostly things about the court taking Jeanie for the things she’s learned and her raw potential . “ Okay so they have something worse in store for you than death and I myself subscribe to the there are so many worse things then death school of thinking . .. “ her mind spins before you even tell her what’s going on wondering if the plane made it back yet and who would over see things if she needed to be gone for any amount of time. “ Okay I’m sitting .”

I would hear the words coming off your lips and well whatever relaxed state you did have is all gone now , and I could tell that you were going to have a issue now and I would watch your body take that breath that wasn't needed and I would blink several times as you came back over to me and sat down on the bed , I would let out my own soft sigh sitting up slowly and moving myself next to you running my fingers through your hair and letting you rest your head on my chest if you wanted to trying to be a comfort but not really sure if this was going to help

He giggles a little before starting. "So they brought me here to deal with a small infestation they have. They naturally thought of me because they heard through whispers that I suspect I can trace that we had a similar infestation and it turned out well for all involved or at least most of us. They only have one teensy little Earthbound that they want cleaned up. Idiot that I am, I for some reason found myself talked into agreeing to it. An Earthbound. Here. In LA. At least we don't have a house it can smash out here.....Do we? I never really went looking through all the properties you owned. I just assumed you'd avoid buying real estate somewhere predominantly described as sunny after all. I suppose I should have checked before I booked a hotel here. It only makes sense to use the place if we own...." He trails off, aware again that he's babbling faster and faster. "I'll stop now," he promises.

“ They have a what problem, and you what .. agreed to dealing with it for them ? It would be like me calling you and saying ohhhh we just have an elder abomination tearing through the city that is tapped into the darkest of each of this ancestry but no worries I’ll handle it …. Please tell me they are giving you something worth the work … “ she seemed completely calm the business side of her taking over instead of allowing herself to become worried and upset. “ And no we don’t own property in that anarch ridden hell hole … “ she shook her head “ I know how they got you to agree they make deals for their exsistence …” she took another break “ Okay I’ll stop now… “ she sighed “ what can I help with so that I can get you home “

I would try and not listen in but you seemed pretty pissed off and well with you talk about abominations and the like and I would tilt my head wonder just what you were making that comparison to what was it that Eric agreed to do that had you so off key but you seemed to be keeping yourself in check mostly I was getting more and more hints into Eric being much much more than a ghoul but the problem was that wasn't helpful it could mean anything from him being an Abomination to him being fairy or well anything I guess sighing lightly at this thought process because it wasn't helping me any

He nods unconsciously, not processing that you can't see it right now. "I know. It's like finding out that one of the Antideluvians is tearing up Ravage and agreeing to go punch him in the face. Stupid. As soon as it came out of my mouth, I knew." He shakes his head violently, trying to shake off the panic and holds the phone back to his ear. He thinks about learning the last of the Lore knowledge he needs to separate you and Liz and he nods again, more calmly, almost normal. "Yeah. I managed to get something worth the effort from them." He sighs. "I'm not really as screwed as I sound," he promises. "It's just a bit of a shock is all and I'm not looking forward to eatting that much corruption. I don't know what I need for help yet. Maybe a way to search the city for his Reliquary. That's where the fight has to be. It'll be hidden and possibly well-guarded, although he might not want to draw attention to its location. You think there's anything in the Library that might help?" he asks, trying to be sureptitious about asking if there's a thaumaturgical ritual that might help.
