24th Devotion: Quelling Rumors

[Solomon frowns, staring at the monitor in disgust at

I suppose this is someone's idea of a joke. Is that supposed to be me?

[He types a few commands into the keyboard, but the image plastered on the screen and transmitted over the network refuses to be erased.]

Honestly. How dumb do you think people are? This photograph has clearly been doctored to make it look like... well. Preposterous, to think of Hagi and myself being in such a situation.

[Calling over his shoulder, he speaks to someone who is off-screen.]

Hagi... have you seen this? There's a picture of you on the network, although what you were doing (or with whom), I don't even want to conjecture. Do you have anything you want to say about it?

[He sits back, crossing his arms deeply in thought.]

Either someone has it in for one of us (seeking to discredit us or cause us embarrassment), or this is something more wide scale. A curse perhaps. Although I don't see how something physical of this nature could be called a curse rather than some sick fabrication.



[ooc: Solomon once again finds himself the victim of a curse. This time it's 'TABLOID TRASH'. Feel free to show no mercy when it comes to this, as just last week he was suffering a 48 hour curse that could make this photo VERY plausible!]

I'm afraid I'm unwilling to die for this...

But if you should change your mind, we can negotiate. My blood is of a much higher quality than that which you are no doubt used to.

You're a friend, I wouldn't kill you. It would just be rude.

[He laughs softly.]

Now, why would your blood be different? Would this go along with the reason why I have trouble reading your mind?

This is strictly in confidence, of course. I do have a reputation that aids me in my every day life that I like to uphold.

But yes. I suppose it could have something to do with your abilities not being as effective as you are used to...

That's why I'm curious as to whether you would even be able to control me if I resisted. It might be an interesting challenge for you both of us...

[ooc: He's waiting to hear that his confidences won't be betrayed. Even tho I think it's hard for him to disclose things. TOTAL and complete honesty??? *cringes*]

I have no reason to tell anyone what you're telling me in private. Just in case you are worrying about that.

Alright then. When did you want to test how well my abilities work on you?

I should have some free time this evening if that's convenient for you...

I'm most intrigued to see what you can do, Lestat.

Sadly, I am unavailable.

How about Saturday? I can be there before I head over to Lux to watch Gren.

If you feel that will provide us with enough time to try various things, then certainly. I'll clear my schedule for you for that particular time.

If we start just after sunset then it will.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. I'll see you then.

Does this mean I'm an unofficial member now?

[Solomon laughs pleasantly, amused at the suggestion.]

I suppose you could be classified as a 'contracted' associate.

It doesn't matter to me anyways. Your group is about getting out of here, correct?

Well, I have no real desire to leave.
