Brother! What's the meaning of this?!

The least you could do is to face me! This is a new skill, I wasn't aware that you were capable of catching me so off guard that I have no memory of my abduction. To take me from my apartme--

[Solomon comes into view of the camera, his fierce eyes zeroing in to the fact that he's being recorded]Amshel! You better not have touched a hair on Saya's head, or so help me...!

[He takes a deep breath, and forces his features to compose themselves. Slowly, his mouth twists into a polite assured smile.] No, you don't have her, do you? If you did, I have no doubt that you'd have been sure to let me know. You were never one to be light handed in your punishments.

Might I remind you that Diva gave me leave to go, Brother. I won't be subject to your experiments like Karl was...

[His voice comes out a soft warning growl.]Answer me!

We are pretty much free to do as we please. We simply cannot leave this place. Your first question I don't have a known answer for but mine is no.

Re: voice

Free to do as we please...

We can all move about this... city, freely?

Has there been any sign of our captors? Any immediate threat?

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

Freely. Own your own home, shop, love, work, so on. The living and the dead. It's quite remarkable actually.

There have been a few threats. And our 'captors' do speak every once in awhile.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Interesting. What have they wanted? Have you ever seen them? Or do they communicate through these devices?

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen them but the communicate with these devices. Every so often they announce Warden nominations or where to get vaccines or other random details. It depends.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Vaccines? For what purpose?

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

At that time it was to prevent us from becoming zombies the next month.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

That is impressive. I would be interested in meeting these 'deities'...

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

You'll have to ask to speak to them then. Maybe they'll feel like talking to you. I've had little need for them personally. I can rule my own life.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I am grateful for your help, Mr....

My apologies. I don't believe I've gotten your name...

I am Solomon Goldsmith.

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

It is good to meet you then, Solomon.

I am Lestat de Lioncourt.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Lestat de Lioncourt.... Ah!

You are French? I spent a good amount of time in Paris... lovely city. The Eiffel Tower looks exquisite at night...

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

I am! In fact, I used to live in Paris. Quite some time ago. More recently I have been living in New Orleans.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. Likewise, that city has it's own unique charm. I've had the pleasure of visiting awhile back on business.

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

And what year are you from?

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... what... year?

Are you asking my age?

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

No. What year you are from.

I was in Paris in the 1700s and I have watched New Orleans grow all the way until the 1990s.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

[Solomon pauses, surprise evident in his voice.] Is that so? That would make you no ordinary man, wouldn't it, my new friend?

Well, this place gets more and more interesting as the seconds fly by... If I am intended to believe what I'm hearing... still... I've seen remarkable things in my life. We shall see...

I am from the year 2005.

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

You are in my future then! I'm only from the year 1992.

And I stopped being ordinary over two hundred years ago.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

We shall have to talk more at length once I get my bearings. What currency is used here?

[Mumbles distractedly to himself.] And then there's the matter of finding a suitable place to house myself, and... Saya, where are you?...

Re: voice

[vampbratprince.livejournal.com]

It seems based on colors. There are reds, oranges, blues, indigos...

A suitable place shouldn't be too difficult. I believe one of the places next to mine is open.

Re: voice

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I will most certainly look into it.

Re: voice

That would be 50 or 54 of Building 8. Just move in. I'm sure the money won't be an issue.
