La Belle Gabrielle

[Vincent Lémartes]

A large building that has just been developed in TOTD. It is still technically under construction. It is three stories high, with many rooms. From the front there is a large sign that holds the name ‘La Belle Gabrielle’ the sits above the door. There are two large doors which are always manned with a were-wolf and vampire dressed in dark suits. Upon entering this you either come into a small room with a door next to a small window where a Vampire sits. This is a where you hand over your weapons before you can enter. The other door is used for favoured guests and for Vincent, Thorne etc… to enter. After that you enter into a large foyer, a long staircase in front of you in the middle of the floor leading upstairs to Vincent’s main office and if you are a favoured guest then there are five other doors behind this one in a corridor. The first one on your right a lap-dancing and strip-club (This is also used as a feeding room for Vampires to suck on virgin girls blood) the second on the right a gentleman’s club for Vincent’s close friends, the first on the left opens to a long line of rooms for people that work for Vincent or guests, the second on the left is Thorne’s private room. These are always manned, making it very difficult to get to see Vincent unless invited. On the other side of the foyer are double doors which when entered comes into the main club. This club is open for all but seems to be favoured by Vampires and a few Weres. They sell a vast range of alcoholic beverages and lots of them mixed with blood. Not a place to usually find a human but occasionally they come in, but rarely come out, unless they are a favoured guest of course.

[Vincent Lémartes]

Vincent’s limo pulled up outside his nightclub, at once one of his servants opened the door of the limo to let him out. He climbed out and walked to the doors, which were immediately flung open at his arrival. He made his way up into his office, passing armed vampires who were on duty waiting for the opening night. He stopped just outside his office and looked at one of the Vampires.
"Find my brother and bring him to me... Now!" he ordered and went in, he was still angered about the pitiful human. The employee jumped to attention and walked briskly down the stairs looking for Kana.

Vincent entered his office and took a seat behind his large oak desk, sitting in his executive leather chair. He opened the cabinet next to him and lifted out a bottle of whiskey and poured himself a glass. This he drained off and then poured himself another and waited for his brother with annoyance.

[Kana Lémartes]

Kana flickered into the room a few minutes later. His dark hair was slicked back as usual, the pale skin around his mouth was flecked with blood.
"You called, dear brother?"
He wiped the blood away, and licked his fingers.
"Late lunch." He smirked.

[Vincent Lémartes]

Vincent looked unimpressed at his brother over the rim of his glass. "So, where were you?" he asked anger flaring in his eyes.

[Kana Lémartes]

"Nowhere important, brother. Just... surveying the local delicacies"
Kana ignored the anger in his brothers eyes, and adjusted the collar on his brown leather jacket.

A pair of boots crunched across the ground slowly; the steps of someone in no hurry to be anyway, or the steps of someone wandering aimlessly...it's difficult to tell. Either way, Zack was headed somewhere. He just wasn't sure where at this exact moment in time.

The vampire replaced a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and took a deep drag, his eyes glancing back and forth at the different signs, houses and buildings around the street. A few people wandered up and down the streets - although he could tell there was a purpose in their steps - occasionally brushing past him.

He stopped, however, when one sign in particular caught his eye,

"La Belle Gabrielle," he read, his voice almost testing the words, before he smirked. It looked like a club. And a club was bound to serve alcohol. And he was definitely in need of a stiff drink right about now. Y'know, to boost morale and what not. Mind made up, the vampire headed towards the large doors and pushed them open, entering La Belle Gabrielle.

[Vincent Lémartes]

"So I tell you to be somewhere and you ignore my orders and go off an do as you like. Is that correct?" He said raising his voice in anger.

[Kana Lémartes]

"Well, brother, some of us have to seek out our own food!"
Kana raised his voice to match his brothers, the anger showing plainly in his ice-blue eyes.

[Vincent Lémartes]

Vincent placed the glass on the table. Pushed the chair away and got up. He looked at his brother in a condsending way. He slowly walked over to his brother looking down on him. He got uncomfortably close. Then lifted his right hand and smacked his brother across the face backhanded. "Brother, next time, be there" He paused for a second and lowered his hand back slowly to his side. He then turned and made his way back to his chair.

[Kana Lémartes]

As Vincents hand connected with his face, Kanas head jerked sharply to one side. He turned his face slowly back to his brother, a few strands of hair falling into his eyes, which flashed angrily.
"Understood. Brother." He said, his voice full of cold malice.

[Zackary Kalen]

A hand halted Zack's movement through the entrance room, and the dark haired Vampire sent a half glance at the owner of said hand. A vampire sat near the door, motioning towards Zack,

"Weapons," he said simply, "You need to leave your weapons at the door."

Zack paused slightly, chewing on the end of his cigarette. He didn't like the idea of leaving his weapons at the door - not because he felt he needed them, but mostly because he could never remember how many damn knives he had on him and where he was hiding them. He knew where his main 10 were, but could never remember where all the backups were. However, he was too tired, and far too in need of liquor to argue, and he plucked the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Fine, fine. Got somewhere I can put this?" he asked the vampire, who motioned to a small table on his right. Setting down the cigarette so the end wouldn't burn the table - too badly at least - Zack set about disarming himself. Firstly, he placed his pistols on the table, followed by a small Colt gun and a pack of bullets. That was the easy part. Then he began reaching around his body, pulling knives from random places - ten from around his waist, two from each forearm, making 14 knives in total. Then another four from his jacket, and three from a small sheath under his shirt.

That was...nineteen? Seemed right.

Zack sighed, and jerked a thumb at the slightly bewildered vampire, who now found himself the lucky, lucky guard of a small weapons shop.

"Can I go in now?"

The vampire blinked at him, before shaking his head.

"Gotta give you a scan first," he said, brandishing a small metal detector and ignoring the annoyed clicking sound Zack made with his tongue as he stood so it would be easy to scan. All was well, and good, and ultimately time wasting until the vampire reached Zack's right boot. The metal detector began beeping, and the vampire guard frowned, before reaching a hand out to press against the leather footwear.

A couple of seconds later, he emerged with a deeper frown and another knife. Zack grimaced,

"...Ah. 20 then. I always forget that one," he said, berating himself, before quirking an eyebrow as the vampire pressed a small microphone present in his ear closer to his lips. That was never a good sign in the movies, and Zack had an odd feeling it wasn't a good sign now. Sure enough, less than a minute later, a few more vampires burst into the room, however these ones sported what Zack couldn't help noticing were very sleek looking guns. Aimed towards his head - and one towards his groin disturbingly enough.

The original vampire guard looked satisfied with the backup, before returning his attention to his microphone. If he strained his hearing enough, Zack could pick up the words 'boss', 'weapon' and 'troublemaker'.

Really, he should've just stayed outside.

((OOC: *collapses* Sorry. So long. Had to keep making sure...got things right...from Vincent.))

[Vincent Lémartes]

As Vincent sat in his chair there came a beep and a flashing red light on the intercom on his desk. He looked at it in annoyance, he leaned over and press the flashing button "What?" He spat with bitterness in his voice, already this night was grating on him.

"Sorry boss, but we have a troublemaker here. He has a weapon that he was not willing to give up. What do you want done with him?" the vampire doorman asked.

Vincent turned his attention to the monitors at his side and looked at the top left one that said 'Main enterance' above it. He looked at it and saw a young vampire boy stood surronded by his guards. Even with this he seemed to be mantaining his calm. He seemed quiet confident in himself. This breifly took Vincents mind off the human that had tried to kill him and his brothers disloyalty.

He turned his attention back the intercom, he flicked a switch that transmitted to all the guards. "Report back to your stations" was all he said, and watched as his vampires put down there guns and went back to their posts. He press another button on the intercom, "Peters, report to me" was what he said to the guard that had pointed a gun at his guests groin. It is one thing to threaten to kill a man in Vincents house, it is another to want to do him harm.

He then flicked the switch back to his doorman. "Keep him there. I sending my brother to collect my guest" He then flicked off the intercom.

Then he turned to look Kana. "Go and collect my guest brother, bring his weapons also" He paused for a second, "On and brother, do not fail me on this simple task" he then turned his attention back to his glass and dismissed his brother all together.

[Kana Lémartes]

Kana glared at his brother as he looked at the monitor.
In reply to the order, Kana replied simply: "Yes, brother", the malice still evident in his voice.
He turned sharply and left the room.
He walked slowly down the stairs, glowering. When he reached the main floor, he flickered across, arriving directly behind Zack.
"My brother requests your presence."
He turned to Peters.
"You too."
Not giving either of them a chance to argue, he placed a hand on both their shoulders and steered them towards the stairs.

[Zackary Kalen]

Giving Kana a glare, Zack moved himself so his shoulder slipped out of Kana's grasp.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," he said, keeping his voice at just the right level between collected and slightly mocking, "I'm not leaving without my cigarette. S'least you can do after that guy," he pointed at the vampire still in Kana's grasp, "...pointed a gun at a rather personal area of mine."

Not waiting for a response, the dark haired male turned back to the table and plucked the nearly burnt out stub from the desk. He frowned at it for a couple of seconds, before sighing dramatically and twisting the burning end into the package holding his bullets.

"Never mind. Not enough there to tar up the lungs of a fly," he said to no one in particular, pulling out a lighter and another cigarette from his jacket. Clicking the lighter, he returned to Kana, giving the other vampire a blithe grin around the fresh stick of nicotine.

"Now, where were we?"

[Kana Lémartes]

Kana sighed and rolled his eyes. Some people were just so.... frustrating.
"You were on your way upstairs." He replied curtly.
