[24-20:52] 30a, *Harmonia : *she nods* Yep, what kind would ya like?
[24-20:53] 30a, *Harmonia : *looks at Marley and nods, gets her the drink and hands it to her* You know the price. But you can pay whenever you want to.
[24-20:53] dd2, *Anastasia Giovanni : Esperto Merlot please*slipping onto a bar stool*
[24-20:54] e74, ºMarley Watkins : ((it's just a city. there are all kinds of places to go. You should check out the board. There's a little description and then Establishments has all the places that people have set up and descriptions of those places*
[24-20:55] c36, *Domenick Montalbano : *he leans back into the chair just slightly to get himself comfortable... closeing his eyes just as he takes yet another sip from the glass downing it in one go... setting that fragile untensil back down he pours himself a bit more.. his eyes now looking elsewhere as if some unseen force has caught his attention*
[24-20:55] 30a, *Harmonia : *she nods and grabs a wine glass, going to grab the bottle of Esperto Merlot and pours her a glass ahnding it to her* There ya go.
[24-20:56] dd2, *Anastasia Giovanni : *slowly sips her wine as she looks around the bar checking out the goings on.*
[24-20:57] 30a, *Harmonia : The first drink is free just to let you know. *extends her hand* Name's Harmonia
[24-20:57] e74, ºMarley Watkins : *picks up the glass and shakes it, so that the ice clanks against the side of the glass. She gets the dual meaning of that* Don't worry. I can afford it. *stands with the glass in her hand* Mind hitting the radio? It's a little awkward in here.
[24-20:59] 30a, *Harmonia : *she nods and moves over to the radio, turning it on. Avenged Sevenfold will be playing on hte radio. A local rock band as all she usually has playing on the radio is rock music*
[24-21:00] dd2, *Anastasia Giovanni : *her eyes slowly land on Domenick as she looks him over she turns her head away as if there is nothing speical. She plays with a necklase she wears around her neck. it is a locket in the shape of the family crest. So only those of the clan would reconizes it.*
[24-21:02] 30a, *Harmonia : *she looks at Anastasia and down at the necklace* Very interesting piece.
[24-21:04] c36, *Domenick Montalbano : *his eyes catch sight of that crest but it seems as though he isn't bothering with it.... his eyes take on an almost pale silverish hue for a brief moment before shifting back... turning his gaze away just as he takes yet another sip from the newly refilled glass*
[24-21:04] dd2, *Anastasia Giovanni : *smiles*thank you It was given to me by my great great great grandfather.*sips her wine*
[24-21:05] 30a, *Harmonia : *nods and starts to clean some glasses, the music playing in the bar now.* Family heirloom. Very nice, mine is a little different. *motions around the bar* This is mine
[24-21:07] e74, ºMarley Watkins : *kicks the chair across from Domenick out from the chairs, and sits without invitation* Buy me a drink.

[24-21:10] c36, *Domenick Montalbano : *he raises a brow ever so slightly as the woman sits across from him and uninvited aswell.... a small smirk coming to take his lips once more... then he takes a sip of his drink.. setting it down afterwards* it seems as though you can afford your own.. *reffering to her last statement*
[24-21:12] 30a, *Harmonia : My family never had much of a legacy before but maybe I can make them proud. That's all I really want.

[25-20:58]

      Tevesh moseys on down the boardwalk while tap-tap-tapping his cane against the ground. He is clothed in the finest of hobo-wear, donning a stunning black cotten t-shirt, with a pricey tattered grey overshirt (unbuttoned of course). And for the lower area he wears a fabulous pair of brown pants, tattered along the pant legs, but wonderful nonetheless. He tops it all off with a shoddy black tophat (perched atop his head) and a brown leather overcoat. Tevesh wanders down the street in his flamboyant way, his eyes flickering from here to there, searching for a new path along the Vein or someone interesting to speak to.

      Tevesh saunters down the walk, just taking his time.. Staring at the passers-by, grinning madly and feeling their own insanity. He sniffs and stops, staring at one lady in particular.. (At Fayth, don'tcha know!)

      Tevesh saunters down the walk, just taking his time.. Staring at the passers-by, grinning madly and feeling their own insanity. He sniffs and stops, staring at none in particular.

      Tevesh notices said Aura, because he is oh-so-perceptive to those things. He's a Malky, after all. So he walks up to her, not directly up to her, and sort of... Leans against the other side of the tree. Tev gets giggly and whispers in an obviously fake British accent; "'Ello Love! Lovely time of day, eh wot? How's you?"

      Tevesh looks somewhat similar to that, but has a robust rosy color to his cheeks (which comes from useless blood expenditure). He did notice these things, and starts to whisper more odd tidbits.. "Time and time again, love. Listen closely. You stand on the vein of Madness, it pulses beneath your feet like the veins in the arm of a Kine! Though our blood be stilled, our minds work oh so gracefully. Listen with your mind, love. Eh? Listen closely and you shall hear it, beating like a drum. Deep within your vaults of conciousness, you shall hear and feel it." Towards the end of this little rant, he dropped the accent. He has a neutral voice, not annoying but not pleasant either. He nods with every word he says, as if confirming them to himself..

      Tevesh grins again. He stares right at her, his eyes locked upon hers (whether they lock on his or not). His face is rather plain, not handsome and not ugly, but there is one thing about him that stands out. His eyes. Tevesh's eyes are bright green, shining with an inner light.. Almost glowing. They show the constant battle that rages in his mind, the swirling and eddying pools of madness that fester in most vampire's vaults of knowledge are riptides and tsunamis in his. One could drown in those glowing sight-balls, which reach out and grab your attention the moment you notice them.. He looks slyly at her suddenly.. "You see too? Yes, yes. I suppose you do. But.. " He sniffs the air and stops talking, listening to the heavy thudding of the Vein underfoot.

      Tevesh walks around the tree and sits next to her, crossing his legs. "What's your name, Miss?" He stares at the ground, seeming to see through the plants and dirt to the core of the Earth.. The rotten, festering core full of hate and lust and all negative things.. He sighs and watches the woman.

      Tevesh stares at Tanya, actually looking at her. He nods slowly and watches the woman with the noisy garb. He grins and says.. "It does though.. I smell it, the Fear. I can taste and feel it's pulse wherever I go.. And it hurts.." Tevesh taps his head, and grabs his cane.. "It hurts too much to not do anything... Don't you see? I have to find the main Vein.. And I think it's here.." He stabs the cane into the ground, nodding slowly, eyes never off of her.

      Tevesh looks up at Sam, his tophat still perched merrily on his head. He takes it off, and his brown, chin-length hair falls around his head. Cocking a brow, he stares at the woman. "See, see? Anger and contempt around every corner... I can't walk around without feeling hate of some sort. Must find it, must find it." He just stares at Sam, but was talking to Tanya.

      Tevesh looks back at Tanya, and smiles.. Expressing gratitude of the deepest kind. "Thank you." He looks back at Sam.. "Problems of sorts, yes?"

      Tevesh slowly rises from where he was sitting, doesn't look down. Don't look down. He dusts off his coat and grabs his cane, also picking up the cigarette butt.. Has a mind to stick the lit end in her eye, thinks he might just do so. That frame of thought is quite obvious to Tanya though... She could probably tell what he's gonna do.

      Tevesh just looks at the woman, and takes a hold of the cane laying on the ground. He wasn't sure what brought on this womans hostility.. But he shall see.. Looking at her, he grins.. "How do you do, Madame? Fine day and night, fine to be and live! Isn't it? Aye, aye. But it pulses.... Still yet it does." He slams the cane on the grounds, which he deosn't look at because of Tanya's hand.

      Tevesh stares at Sam some more, amazed at this woman.. But he isn't entirely surprised. This world is full of people liek her.. He sighs and glances at Tanya Jay sadly.. "What to do? Help her? Make her see? Or nay?" Sighs again, and watches the woman swear in the phone.

      Tevesh stands slowly and approaches Sam cautiously, glancing back at Tanya.. "Ah, I know your kind. Angry at the world!" Starts to speak sagely, and coherently for once. "Trying to prove yourself.. Why? What did I or she do to offend you, Miss?" He blinks and leans in close, almost touching her shoulder with his cheek.. "Know that I see what you think.. I feel what you feel." Taps his head and walks away.

      Tevesh follows a foot behind her, talking slowly.. "Why don't you like to feel?" He smiles sadly and speeds up walking, his cane a-tappin' on the ground.

      Tevesh steps up the pace again and walks beside her, his tophat now in his right hand and his cane in his left.. He's interested in this woman.. Who she is, what she is, why she acts.. He stares at her out of one eye.. Continues speaking.. "Weak? Feelings are something you need.. Never felt love? Happiness? Anger? Death does not erase your mind, not for us... Stare ahead, if you want. But I look around, and I see the world. I love the world. But I hate it too.. I feel!" He nods slowly.. (NIGHT ENVY! *cheers for Envy, the AWESOME admin!*)

      Tevesh grins inwardly and starts to pace in front of the girl. "My name is Tevesh. As you can tell, I'm a Kook. A Madman. Et cetera. But that isn't my true name, no, no. No! I can't tell you my real name, so call me Tevesh. You could be the Eater for all I know. I want my name to be mine for now, so I can stay here. Who are you? No names, I don't want YOUR name. I want to know who you are..." He stops and looks directly at her, kneeling down.. Wanting to get the story of this lass out. His mind needs to hear it, even if she is a hallucination (Which he hasn't disregarded as a truth yet). He nods slowly, rocking on his heels.

      Tevesh looks at her, cocking his head slightly and grinning a lopsided grin. His hair falls in front of his face as he rocks, and he stops moving.. "I was being serious, Miss. But there is some truth in what you say, isn't there? Wicked, mean thing, aren't you? Ah, so things fall to the path of the Vein. The Church of this place calls us the Devil..." He smiles again, and closes his eyes.. "Who are you?"

      Tevesh 's mouth opens up into a grand smile. He is truly happy. "Bravo, Miss!" He grabs his cane and sticks it in the ground, so it's standing by itself.. It quivers slightly and falls down, the handle end facing the girl. He looks sideways at her, and smiles again. "And what is your name, Miss?" He notices her looking at him, and does the same to her. His own eyes are a bright neon-like green.. (Described them in an earlier post..) He locks eyes with her and runs a hand through his hair. "What brings you to the city of Angels, Miss?"

      Tevesh nods slowly, kind of saddened by this.. "What brought on your need to be alone, Sam?" He flips a coin around in his hand, over the knuckles so it seems that it is dancing along his hand. He does this fast, but doesn't take his eyes off of the girl.

      Tevesh sighs.. Doesn't move his eyes at all.. She can feel them boring into her, just watching. "I apologize because I feel that I need to. I do not enjoy being what I am, being a Vampire. Sucking out the life of the "innocent" ones.. Even though I know they commit the sins every day. I feel the need to justify their actions.. And I feel guilty for being what I am. "

      Tevesh is keeping his 'disease' relatively in check for a while. Concentrates on being as sane as a nutjob can be.

      Tevesh nods in agreement. "I know my guilt is reasonless, but my mind isn't as one would expect. Folds of conciousness overlap one another, I see things differently as you might have noticed.. I know that I'm crazy, yes. But I can't stop it. Not at all. Once in a while, as I am now, I can keep my mind on thoughts, certain thoughts. But the hammering of insanity is ever-present." He taps his head three times and smiles again. "Which clan are you from, Sam?

      Tevesh watches her stand.. He puts a hand on her arm and says.. "Why are you afraid of talking?" He grabs his cane and puts his had on. Looking about, he notices Camren.. But doesn't notice him. Looking back at Sam, he stares directly into her eyes, his own brimming with confused and muddled emotions that show that he is truly mad.. But aware of it.

      Tevesh looks at her... Stands and doesn't touch her again. She knows.. She knows who he is and why he is and how he is. Gasping slightly, he leans close to her and whispers in her ear.. "Listen.. You will know. I shall show you.. Not here.." He just looks at her, his eyes filled with compassion, and hatred, and love, and fear, and all other emotions.. His mind is ablur.. He wants to show her how to See. How to know what the world looks like under the flesh.. Under the thin layer of glass that reflects back what you want.. He needs to show her.. He lays his hand on her arm again, mind connecting for a breif second.. And she sees what he is.. She sees a broken, discarded wasteland, fissures oozing with a black viscous goo that represenst madness. She sees creatures unknwon and undescribable pecking at one another, and the world folds in upon itself.. He lets go of her arm.

      Tevesh looks back and sees the man, really sees him.. He feels him too.. Tevesh knows something's wrong... but can't see yet. "Do you want to learn, Sam? Do you want to really see?"

      Tevesh slips his hand into his coat and wraps his fingers around the hilt of his dagger.. "To see as we see is to be condemned as I am. You need not fear that. You will not go farther than I let. But it is your choice, Sam. You need to know, but whenever you want to I shall show." He whispers without moving his lips.. "That man will come here. Be ready, malicious and filled with the Madness. Be ready." And then he stops, and looks at Sam. "You may choose."

      Tevesh grins... He puts a finger of his in his mouth and bites hard enough to draw blood. He removes a coin from his pocket, a rather old looking one made of pure gold, and wipes the red stuff all over the coin, both sides. He blows on it 'til it dries and hands it to her. "It will pull to me." He glances once over to the man, and reaches into his jacket again to loosen the dagger in it's hilt. "Come and come, he will see.. Time to make him believe.." Grins as he looks at Sam. "I will show you things you will not wish to see.. But endure them. You will know, soon."

      Tevesh sniffs the air.. "Talk to yourself and one might think of you as crazy." The irony in that statement is way, way too much for Tev to handle and he just starts laughing. Been too somber for too long. He stops laughing and grins at Sam. "What to do about a pest? Knife? Or have you got something betteR?"

      Tevesh smiles, and steps backward, under the shadow of a tree.. Will watch and wait.. "I will be gone if you look back.. Don't see me."

      Tevesh just stands there, activating Obfuscate (4, Vanish from Mind's Eye) so they don't notice him.. He waits to see what happens..

      Tevesh grins, and she feels a whisper in her mind saying.. 'If you want me to be..'

      Tevesh follows, slowly.. He will see who this guy is.. He knows she could probably take care of herself.. But he wants to be sure. She must know what he sees..

      Tevesh shadows the girl.. Just watching.

      Tevesh tightens the grip on his dagger and draws it slowly, the rasping noise of it being drawn out of it's hilt absent because of the fact that he does it oh so carefully. He creeps behind them, waiting and watching.. Always patient.

      Tevesh follows Sam, putting the blade away carefully and going into an alley. He whispers her name and where he is in here mind, and he wants her to come.

      Tevesh smiles and comes out from Obfuscate. He looks behind her and grins.. His voice echoes quietly in the chambers of her mind.. "Follow me..." And he starts walking towards the Hotel entrance of the Before the Dawn Bar..

      Tevesh feels her wariness, because he is now within her mind. Not too deep yet, but he has planted the seed. Walks into the Before the Dawn place, up the stairs and stands in front of his room door, the key in his hand. He looks at Sam once more.. "You sure you want to See, lass? You want to feel and breathe and truly KNOW?"

      Tevesh opens the door, revealing a plain looking hotel room. On his bed is a single metal ball, about 4 inches in diameter. Tevesh walks in and sits on the bed, grabbing the ball right away. He clutches it tight in his hand.. "Close the door and grab a chair..." And he waits..

      Tevesh looks straight at her, this is his sanest moment yet. He asks one more time.. "Are you sure you want to do this, Sam? Your mind will bend.. Might break. I cannot guaruntee your sanity."

      Tevesh closes his own eyes and leans closer to Sam's face, their noses almost touching. He bites his lip hard, and draws blood again.. As he lets the blood pool in his mouth, he builds the bond between their minds stronger.. Feeling her, his own mind flooding with her memories, her emotions.. And he stops the "In" flow, from her mind, and starts to reveal the Web to her.. A chorus of voices fills her mind, singing and screaming so loudly the room shakes. To her, anyways.. Her vision goes black and she sees nothing but a dark alley.. The darkness, broken by a single light, seems to be a living thing, breathing and pulsing, reaching out to her and grabbing her.. pulling her in.. And she is sucked into the pool of Madness, sinking deeper.. A vast multitude of voices whispering and bouncing off her mind, grabbing for her attention and splitting the glass barrier between sanity and insanity apart.. And she starts to learn..

      Tevesh grips her head tighter as he reveals the depths of his mind and his Clan. She learns things that most Malkavians don't even dream.. She sees the death of Malkav, his flesh being torn from his bones and burnt and scattered, his bones lying in the sun to bake and his blood seeping tot he ground.. Sam sees a world forgotten, Vampires burning at the stake during the Inquisition, faces melting and high pitched screams of pain.. Blood coated bodies convulse in a mad orgy as males and females alike fuck like wild beasts... and suddenly it stops. Just darkness. She sees black again, and the room starts to fade back into view.

      Tevesh grips her head tighter as he reveals the depths of his mind and his Clan. She learns things that most Malkavians don't even dream.. She sees the death of Malkav, his flesh being torn from his bones and burnt and scattered, his bones lying in the sun to bake and his blood seeping tot he ground.. Sam sees a world forgotten, Vampires burning at the stake during the Inquisition, faces melting and high pitched screams of pain.. Blood coated bodies convulse in a mad orgy as males and females alike fuck like wild beasts... and suddenly it stops. Just darkness. She sees black again, and the room starts to fade back into view.

      Tevesh suddenly kisses Sam, transferring the blood from his mouth to hers, making her swallow it. He ends the kiss and keeps the bond between their minds strong. Tevesh leans back and watches, hoping her mind hasn't broken.. Thinking his own is close too.

      Tevesh starts.. And picks the girl up, laying her on the bed.. He speaks softly to her, mind-wise. "Rest easy, Sam. Need not think of things. Deep, dark sleep.." He soothes her and her mind rests easily.

      Tevesh watches her rest and some hours pass.. He just sits there, contemplating what he saw in her mind... The Dark Mother.. The Fallen Father.. It was confusing... But he was sure it'd make sense..

      Tevesh looks up from his hands, in which he holds the silver ball, and turns his eyes to hers. "Could have been somewhere between an hour to five hours. Not sure. Time is loopy.. I can smell the Vein pumping." He walks over to her and clears his head of the Web.. "How're you feeling?"

      Tevesh sighs, and sits down on the bed next to her.. "Confused.. Not sure what to think.. Or what to feel or see... It's madness.." He chuckles again at the irony. Then he puts a hand on her shoulder.. "How're you feeling, mind-wise?" When he puts his hand on her shoulder, she feels his mind once again, but she isn't flooded with thoughts or emotions or anything. She just feels him, and knows his mind.. As much as you can know a crazie's mind.

      Tevesh is gone

      Tevesh dresses in a black t-shirt and rather baggy brown pants. He slips on a pair of black socks and puts on his scuffed up Army boots. Looking about, he grabs his coat and walks out, deciding to leave the tophat. It's something he doesn't need, not today. Tevesh needs to find a new path along the Vein, to the Heart. To do that he needs to be inconspicuous.. Something he probably couldn't do with a cane and a tophat, looking like a completely obvious Kook.

      Tevesh opens his door, and sighs.. He steps out, damp hair hanging on the sides of his face, perfectly parted (because he's anal about some stupid things) and mustache and goatee still wet from the shower. Shutting the door, locking it, and walking down the hallway, Tevesh thinks of that girl he let See.. She could bear more, yes.. She was strong like that. But she was also pretty fucked up. Tev laughed out loud about this, and continued down the stairs and to the outside. The city smelled of puke, car exhaust, and rotting garbage. Oh, the pleasant smells of an industrialized nation. He walked along the sidewalk, unsure of where to go tonight...

      Tevesh continues to stroll down the street, staring at the ground and hoping that he sees a branch off the Main Vein. But he doesn't.. A half an hour goes by and he still wanders the main drag of LA, wanting to know where the Vein is and where she leads.. But he just gives up and sits on a bench in front of a tiny park in the city.. Tev closes his eyes for a few seconds, just waiting to feel the pull.. To hear the Web.. For something.. But he hears nothing. He gets these sometimes, moments where the Cobweb blocks him out, where he is alone in his insanity.. it's a horrible feeling.. Desperate, he reaches out with his mind, trying to grab hold.. But still, nothing..

      Tevesh keeps his eyes closed and reaches out with his mind again.. A connection. A flood of voices, of emotions.. He sighs loudly and grins. His eyes, still closed, roll into the back of his head and he journeys silently through the Web, feeling around and wanting to know it all again. Tevesh feels as if he's forgotten somethings.. But he hasn't. He retracts his mind from the Web and opens his eyes.. Unsure of where to go.

      Tevesh just sits there, watching the people pass by.. And he feels something. A punch to the conciousness, one could say. Something wasn't right at all, and he wasn't sure what to do.. Feeling around the folds of his own mind, he senses the girl. He knows where she is.. It surprised him, he'd never been connected with someone like that, so it was a new feeling. Standing up again, he looked through her eyes, and saw a mirror.. A bathroom. Tev blinks and the image goes away, then he starts walking toward the pull.. Needing to see the girl and know what had happened when she left his apartment.

      Tevesh finds himself in front of a rather.. unsavory looking motel. But he doesn't notice the downtrodden look of the place, since he's been forced to sleep in far worse.. He stops and looks at all of the red doors facing him. Feeling the pull stronger, he walks towards a certain one, and knocks softly.. And waits.

      Tevesh stares at her.. Not sure how he is, really.. "I'm fine too. I think.. I can't keep my mind on this quest of mine. Maybe the Vein isn't here." He trails off as he looks at her, and is reminded of times gone.. As he goes on a quick stroll down memory lane, he is reminded, by this woman's appearance, of the Dark Mother. Which isn't surprising, if you think about it. He comes back out of that vision and smiles.. "Do you want to go for a walk? Time isn't right here.. No, no. Definately not."

      Tevesh smiles and offers an arm to her.. His near millienia old habits die hard, it seems. As he watches the people, he comments on her statement.."Well, didn't really know what'd happen to do. I was surprised you're still able to see and be.. Not to mention talk and walk." He grins at the rhyme and runs a hand through his hair.

      Tevesh starts to stroll slowly, not in a rush and not heading everywhere.. Watching her again, he is reminded of the Dark Mother.. Shuddering he moves his thoughts on.. "Yes, yes. I see who you are.. Not surprised a bit, really. Most would have lost it or died, or even been absorbed into the Web.. What do you see now? Other than the repressed memories, the things you put away in the vaults?"

      Tevesh nods again, not looking at her, dreading to see Lilith again in Sam's place.. "Do you feel anything from the.. Outside? Or anything on the Web?" He speaks of the Malkavian Madness Network, when he speaks of the Web. It's a communal.. Overmind for the Malkavians, it's how they share information and the like. Although, most of it are the images and sounds that invade Tevesh's mind, since he's almost directly linked to it.. Age has some benefits, but for him his connection grows stronger.. So he slowly loses more and more sanity.

      Tevesh leans close to her and whispers.. "I see the Dark Mother. I see her when I look at you, and I fear.. I fear that she will devour my soul and drink my blood and hear my mind and take my un..life." He leans back and stares at Sam again, truly seeing HER this time. He is glad about this and looks at the woman's eyes..

      Tevesh watches this fit of laughter.. And looks away, kind of hurt. But he goes back to watching her, stands up and tries to help her up this time.. Still not seeing the Vision.

      Tevesh cocks a brow at Sam, and touches her head again, not letting go. Again, the connection is made and she feels his mind.. pressing down upon hers, building pressure and making her feel faint. But she does not fall, and Tevesh explores her mind, curious as to what it was. When he finds what he needs, he removes the hand from her head and holds the girl up in case she faints, an arm under hers.. "I wonder..."

      Tevesh speaks slowly, unsure of what he even had to see. "Whether you were broken mind-wise yet. You might be.. Not sure. Not up to me.. It's up to you. Laughter comes and goes, does it? But maybe not, maybe not. You're not frail, not in the least bit. So I shouldn't worry.." He walks towards a dumpy brick building, which is pulsing slightly (in his mind's eye) and glowing with the black veins.. He smiles and beckons her to follow him..*

      Tevesh taps her head again, no flashes this time. "Could be. Sanity is thin now, I felt that much.." He stops walking and links his arm with hers.. "Stay close, and don't speak to anything in there unless it talks to you. Angry, they're all angry. Watch." He walks with her again, to the building, and into an alley.. A door with peeling blue pant is the only feature on the wall, other than random graffiti marks and whatnot. He stops in front of the door and listens for a bit..

      Tevesh whispers to her.. "No, we're not in Kansas anymore." And he reaches for the door knob, opening it. The rotten wooden door swings open slowly, a shreiking noise sounding as it opens for the first time in a long time, it seems. As he starts to walk forward, a rush of sour smelling air blows out at them... A grey figure is at the end of the hallway, facing a wall.. Head is slamming into the wall, with loud thumping noises coming back to them.. Tev nudges Sam, trying to get her to look at the wraith.

      Tevesh watches the wall, not noticing the girl.. He's just... Focusing on the damn lights. Standing up, he reaches out wiht a bloody hand to touch one of the lights, and he starts to scribble sayings on the wall with the blood.. The phrases sink into the plaster, a sizzling sound audible and visually evident as it cuts letters deep into the flat surface. He writes almost gibberish.. Things about the Vein.. But he doesn't know what he's writing for.. He continues though, naked as always.

      Tevesh is just out.. again. He is deep within his own mind, on the threads of the Cobweb.. Gone and gone, not sure where the light is.. Or how to get to it even if he saw it.. Tied and chained, shackled and cut..

      Tevesh opens his eyes, a wild look in them. He tackles Elizabeth and wraps his hands around her neck.. Not realizing what he's doing, he almost starts to tighten his grip.. His legs are wrapped around her torso, and her arms are pinned to her sides.. But he comes to right before he crushes her entire neck.. Staring in disbelief, he jumps up and backs away, grabbing a blanket and wrapping up in it...

      Tevesh sinks to the floor looking at the girl.. The lights are gone and his blood patterns are etched into the walls.. Burnt into them. He doesn't know why he did it, doesn't know when he did it, and he doesn't remember this woman.. Who was she? Why was she in here? And why was he naked? He stares at Elizabeth, his eyes filled with confusion..

      Tevesh whispers.."Who are you?" He inches towards the Kine, smelling her fresh blood and hearing her heart beat in his mind.. Not too sure what he was doing with a human.. Food? No.. Not food. Why would he keep her alive? Better to make the mess somewhere else.. His mind tries to break the blackness that is in his memory.. But can't..

      Tevesh watches her as she tries to leave.. He doesn't stop her.. But he curls up in the fetal position, trying to force his way through the wall that is repressed memories.. He cant'. He sobs a bit, and says.. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth.." And he just sits there, covered in a blanket trying to make himself remember where he was..

      Tevesh looks at the wall, and back to her.. Realizes he's naked.. But doesn't blush. He can't. He's dead. Hah! So he drops the blanket and walks over to his clothes and dresses quickly. Running a hand through his hair, he walks over to her.. "Thank you, Elizabeth. Kind deed.. Very kind. Not many these days." Drops his hand and sits on his bed.. "Was I saying anything?"

      Tevesh sighs.. And he turns around and traces the figures on the wall. Turning his head again, he walks over to the girl and bows to her, a comical gesture in these days. "Thank you.. But I must be sleeping." HE hands her some money.. "Rewards for kind deeds.."
