Angela's Legend

[SailorMoonBabe]

"Would you rather fight Marius? I'm pretty sure that he wants to rip your throat out as much as I do. And btw, let the record show that you did NOT "whip my sorry ass". Now get ready." Angela waited for Casey to make the first move.

[cqb101]

"Heh, I don't do vamps. Purple dragons, yes. Vamps-no."

[SailorMoonBabe]

"You're not afraid, are you?" Angela challenged him. "And here I thought you were a worthy opponant. Guess I was wrong. Oh well, better luck next battle." Angela turned to Mars. "Well, since your friend is a coward, I guess you are the next best opponant." Angela got out a long daggar. "Let's go!" She said.

[Mars-Chan]

"Bring it on!" Mars snapped, spinning her sais in front of her and going into her fighting mode. "....I can take anything you can dish out so BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!"

[heretic888]

((Listen, if you guys don't slow things down no one is going to want to keep up with this RPG...))

((Well, they may be Anne Rice's characters, but I have modified them to be my characters. so there. and which book is it? ))

((All of them.))

Casey saw Michelangelo examining the ring. "hey, that looks kinda like the ring that bitch vamp was wearing."

"Yeah," Mike replied casually. "There's something weird about it... I'm gettin' a really odd vibe from it, y'know??" He examined the object for a moment and shrugged. "Oh well, it won't fit around any of our fingers... maybe you should hold on to it, Case??"

Mike put his hand out and offered the ring to Casey Jones.

Leonardo had been keeping an eye out on his fun-loving brother..
Making no sound whatsoever, Leo dropped behind Mike, Casey, and Mars.
Surprising them all with his voice, considering they were not aware of his presence, he said, "You wanna tell me what that mysterious ring is, Mikey."

"Yah got me." Mike replied in a nonchalant demeanor. He was obviously not surprised by his brother's sudden appearance. "Some vampiress was wearing it when she jumped Casey here."

His sudden appearance startled the others and they gasped..
"OK I get the point," he said, "You never know when you're being watched.......... well sometimes you do."

Michelangelo chuckled and rolled his eyes at his brother. "You know as well as I do, Leo, that I've been aware of your presence for quite some time now.... course, I can't speak for the others here." He chuckled again.

((Zane, you can NEVER control our character's reactions in these RPGs. The only ones you can control are your own.))

"SHELL, LEO!!" Mars gasped, shaking her head. "...don't do that! Sheesh...Anyways...I remember seeing that ring. Wonder what it does..."

Mike rolled his eyes and smiled. It was sometimes difficult to remember that Mars was just a novice compared to the brothers. "I don't know, Mars, but it feels... really weird." Mike extended the ring back out to Casey again. "Here, dude, you're the only one o' us that can wear it.... maybe you should try it on, neh??"

Angela jumped down from where she was watching. "Give....it.......back!" She said dangerously. "Or me and my friends will be having a banquet tonight." Lestat and Marius jumped down beside her. "Either give it back to her, or prepare to fight for your life." Marius said, as all 3 vamps got into attack position. Angela hissed.

Mike withdrew his hand away from Casey, clenching his fist tightly, the ring firmly in hand. He casually dropped his arm back down by his waist. He turned to the vampires with a curious look on his face. "And, why is this trinket so important to you three, then??"

Mars then stood by her brothers, tightened the cloth of her black mask, and spun her sais in her hands.
"Well well well..." She said, as her muscles then tensed, preparing to battle.
"....lookie what we have here...three vampires who need to be taught a lesson. Now, I am not Buffy the Vampite Slayer here, but...hey...I am willing to fight? Brothers, are you with me?"

"Mars," Mike interrupted her, "those three are Ancient Ones. Its not very likely your sai will do much damage to them. You may want to think twice about that ---"

Mike knew a good deal about these vampires. He had watched the mysterious disappearance of the frontman for the band 'The Vampire Lestat' some years ago, and was among those that Mekare had projected her visions into during his sleep. In addition, a sci-fi buff, Mike has also read every book written under the pseudonym Anne Rice and was quite familiar with the histories of Lestat and Marius. This Angela, however, was a bit of a mystery....

"Oh, she is so mine." Lestat said. Angela rolled her eyes . "Whatever, the boy is mine." she said. Marius looked around. "You!" he said as he pointed to Michaelangelo, "You, prepare yourself to fight me. And I don't want any of you to wimp out while fighting us." "Shut up, Marius." Angela said in an annoyed tone. "Less talking, more action."

"Alright, why don't we all just calm down ---" Mike replied in vain.

"Oh, you are so mine..." Mars said, as she then narrowed her eyes and turned her head slightly making sure Mike or Leo could back her up if they needed to. "....come on vamp! I can take ya..."

"Mars..." Mike said out loud in a slightly more serious tone.

Casey slowly started to walk toward his bike. "I uh, seem to have ummm, left my stake at home. I better go get it!"

"Stakes can't hurt them, Casey," Mike replied. "Of course, if you did manage to pierce their hearts with anything, it'd prolly kill 'em. Of course, that'd kill us, too...."

Suddenly, Angela took out one of her knives. "Lestat, look at me." Lestat looked at her. "What is it?" He asked her. "Lestat, I am sorry." "Sorry? Sorry for what?" He asked her, confused. "For this" She said, as she stuck the knife into Lestat's stomach. "Angela!" Lestat gasped. "You'll live, Lestat. I want you to stay out of this battle." "But, why?" He asked. Angela shook her head. There were tears in her eyes. For a few seconds, Angela's face showed pure human emotion. "You wouldn't understand." Angela's face hardend. "Let's go, Casey Jones. I want you to put your best effort into this fight, got it? Now, get your ass ready."

"Ahh, crap." Mike sighed under his breath, realizing violence was inevitable here.

"Bring it on!" Mars snapped, spinning her sais in front of her and going into her fighting mode. "....I can take anything you can dish out so BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!"

"NO!!" Mike yelled out in a ferocious roar. Mars had never fought vampires before, she had no idea how dangerous they were. Especially ones as ancient as these.

"I will be your opponent." Mike stepped forward out of the shadows with an unusually serious look on his face. The ring was tucked safely into his belt. "I'm the one with the ring, right?? That's what you want, isn't it?? So then.... I'm the one you fight."

Mike assumed a ready position. Curiously, he didn't draw his nunchaku...

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: Aw...ruin all of my fun, why don't'cha, heretric? ))
Mars, then realizing what the heck was about to happen, backed off and put her sais on her belt. "Mike...I sure do hope you know what you're doing..." She uttered under her breath as she watched her brother prepare to fight. "....good luck...."

[cqb101]

Casey turned back around, when he heard Mike challenge the vamps. "This oughta be good."

[heretic888]

"Thanks." Mike smiled at Mars. He suddenly tossed the ring to her. "Keep an eye on that, would'ya??"

He then turned around to face Angela and Marius.

((I would suggest rolling up some attributes and whatnot if we're really going to fight here. I'll see if I can find any Anne Rice vampire classes for Palladium games to give you a hand.))

[heretic888]

((Here is one version of Rice-esque vampires for Palladium RPGs that somebody homebrewed:

http://c_fox.tripod.com/vampires/savior_hunters.html

If anyone knows of any other versions, please tell me.

If you have any questions, also, please ask. Laterz.))

[Mars-Chan]

"Hey..whoop..whoop..." Mars said, as she then caught the ring. She then walked over to Casey and sighed. "...this is gonna be one of those moments, eh, Case? Time it. I give him at least 30 seconds." She then pulled out a stopwatch and smirked slyly.

[heretic888]

((I just finished rolling up the stats for a PC version of Michelangelo, will post them shortly. This should be good. ))

[Mars-Chan]

(((Can't wait..... )))

[cqb101]

Casey grinned. "How much money you willing to put on that?"

[Mars-Chan]

Mars then chuckled and playfully tightened the cloth of her math. "Come on, Case..." She chuckled, rolling her eyes. "...you know I am not a gambling girl. But I do say it'll take him 30 seconds to beat the three vampires....What do you think?"

[cqb101]

"There's no way Mike will take IT in 30....I say 45....a minute tops."

[heretic888]

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys." Mike chuckled, scanning his opponents. "But, this may be tougher than you think...."

[SailorMoonBabe]

"Wow, there's a lot o' love in this alley" Angela said sarcastically. Marius looked at Mars. "Give the ring back, and we will leave you and your friends alone. No more fights, No more confrontations, and we will take special care to stay out of your way." He said to the group. "Marius, you can't be serious! We have to fight, don't you see that they will not give up the ring?" Angela said to him. "Angela, we must maintain peace." He answered her. "********!!" Angela shouted. She looked at Mike."You! You challenged me, now get ready." Angela raised her dagger to attacking point. Suddenly, Angela looked at the sky. It was almost dawn. "Alright, we'll finish this tomorrow." She picked up Lestat and dissapeared. Marius soon followed. ((okay, I looked in one of the books I had, and I read that they can cloak their appearance. They can also play with people's mind))

[heretic888]

((okay, I looked in one of the books I had, and I read that they can cloak their appearance. They can also play with people's mind))

((They can't all do that. It depends on a lot of things, such as their age, willingness to explore their powers, who turned them, etc etc...

Also, you understand the Vampire class ok?? Or do you need my help in making your character(s)' stats??))

"Hmmph," Mike snorted in an amused tone. "That was certainly interesting." He look over at the small ring in Mars' hand.

There was a brief moment of silence. "I say we head back home and see what we can find out about this ring.... it's obviously important to those vamps. Whadda you think, Leo??"

[SailorMoonBabe]

((Thanks for the offer, but no. I can handle it.))
"Marius, what is wrong with you? They do not want to give the ring up. Surely, by now they have figured out why we do not want them to have it." Angela said as she wiped Lestat's forehead. "God, Lestat, why the hell are you burning up? I made sure that the knife was not the poisoned knife." "Are you sure, Angela? It hurts more than it should. And it will not heal. A cut like this usually would have healed before now." Lestat told her. "I don't understand. Let me see the knife, Marius." Marius handed her the knife. "Thanks, now let's see. It looks like my knife," Angela sniffed it. "The only smell on here is Lestat's. I can't detect any known or unknown poison." Angela pulled out her other knives. "Let's see. Yeah, there's the one with poison. It's got a certain smell to it. Like, menthol or something like that." Angela held the poisoned knife to the one she stuck in Lestat's stomach. "Good Lord, you can't tell the differance!" Marius declared. "What if you had 2 poisoned knives and did not know it? What if there is some other force at work here?" Marius said. "I don't doubt it. I've made some serious enemies in my life, and I know that Lestat has as well. Shhhh! Someone's listening to us. The presence, it's a......a woman, and she is......a vampire. I can't get a name out of her mind, though, so I think that she is blocking me. She is an ancient one as well. Lestat, how many Ancient Ones have you met?" "Only two. My maker and Marius. I don't know any other vamps, except for Gabrielle and......Akasha." "Akasha? Akasha, meaning like the actual queen of the damned? Oh, this is not good. but why the hell would she or Gabrielle hurt you?" "You've got me." Lestat replied. Angela smiled at his answer. Angela yawned. "Well, I am going to bed. Marius, did you put up the heavy black curtains?" "Yes, Angela, I did." "Good. Well, 'Night all."

[heretic888]

((Thanks for the offer, but no. I can handle it.))

((Ok, Just checkin.

Most on here can't "handle it".

Also... Akasha's dead.))
