  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

((((Shadow, to answer your question about Lord Edward's codename.....Um, let's see here.....Clever name to do with water....They can call him Lord Poison. Jared is one of the few that knows who Lord Edward really is, as well as the assasin that delivered the news of the new job.)))

Lord Edward sat at his table, reading a book.

"My lord, a man named Rahke would like to see you, sir." a maidservant said, coming into the room, and bowing.

"Yes. Show him in." Lord Edward said, turning around in his chair. He pulled the hood of his cloak up, to cover his face.

"Rahke, you have done well on your assignment. Reach into the third drawer on the cuppord to your left; you'll find the payment for the job, as promised. A little birdy tells me that your jealous that Jared is getting the next job.....The one to kill the royal heir, Prince Eli? Is there a particular reason you would want this money?" Lord Edward said, playing with a few gold coins in his hand.

Joseph entered a nearby tavern near the museum. He was glad he had fed the day before, when it was cloudy outside--else he would be thirsty now, and he would be dead.

Joseph looked around for an empty table. There were none. He shrugged,a nd walked over to a nearby table, where a man and a woman were sitting.

"Do you mind if I join you two?" he asked, his liquid topaz eyes glimmering in the dim light. He held an indifferent expression, trying to resist the tempting smell of human blood all around him.

Xaltair grinned upon spotting Jared over the other side of the table, with a female at that very same table. Was he really becoming a charmer? Having just arrived he decided to stay in the shadows of the building for a while. This was more interesting than he had hoped for, and to Xaltair, knowledge was money. Considering the day he'd had, then having been barged past by that idiot Rahke as he entered the tavern, he was in no real mood to talk anyhow. Xaltair kept his hood shrouding his face and watched from a distance, thankful for the warmth of the tavern.

"Well now sir, aren't you the popular one today" Sable said to Jared as another man joined him and the woman.
She was still waiting on the lady to decide if she wanted any thing. Sable turned to the new fellow.

"What can I get you sir?" she asked,

Jared glanced up at the new comer attention wasn't good for his job, much less strangers. he was in her often enough that Sable knew he didn't often have company.

seriously, four people in one day? and only one of them was welcomed. what did I do to make everyone suddenly want to talk to me? still, he might get Joleene a drink, that will keep her quiet.

Jared grunted, "no one's stopping you." however he didn't make a move to clear some proper room for stranger.

Joseph cleared his throat. "I'm sorry if you don't want me to sit here....Perhaps I can find a seat next to your friend here?" Joseph said, his velvet voice concentrating heavily on Joleene. He was trying to use his vampiric "attractiveness" to get a seat.

Jared shifted slightly something didn't sit right about this stranger, and so his defences were raised. However if Joleene fell for his charm, then he wasn't going to interveene, he just wanted to eat his food in peace.

Without looking at the stranger, Jared ripped off another hunk of bread, and chewed quickly.

Sable was becoming impatient. If no one ordered some thing soon she was going to see if any of the other coustomers needed any thing. There where only two other girls working today, and all the tables where full.
Sable rolled her eyes and looked around the room to make sure the other coustmers where okay.

"Handsome, have a seat with me," Joleene said with a smile, brushing a finger under the man's chin.
To Sable, she said, "This gentleman here will buy me a drink. A gentleman like you wouldn't let a pretty girl go thirsty, would you?" She led her finger alongside Joseph's face pouting her lips again.

"Thank you, sweetie," she said sweetly, and pointed at Jared, "You could learn a lesson from him about how to treat a lady. Maybe then more ladies would come sit with you."
To Sable, she held out her mug. "Fill it with whatever's good," she said lackadaisically.
Turning back to Joseph, she flicked a lock of hair from her face, and said "I'm Joleene, and you are?"

((you said that he was using his vampiric charm, besides Jared has assissnated a few in his time, he knows the signs of a vampire and how to spot one. if you don't like it I can edit the post.))

Jared rolled his eyes. "maybe I don't want ladies to sit with me."
Jared picked up his drink and took a long drink, the sooner he finnished the faster he could leave.

Eli walked the streets with a smile on his face. No one knew he was the prince, and he loved it. Every reaction was real. There was no forced smiles and formality like with the servants at the castle.
When someone smiled, it was honest.
Eli could almost feel it- the song he needed to lift his spirits.
He just needed a little more human contact. Eli spied a tavern which seemed to be pretty full.
"Perfect," he whispered to himself, and walked in.

(((Doesn't mean a vampire has ever used a cxharm on him. And killing a vampire would make you near indestructible, heh, since you'd have to be super-strong. You'd either have to be a vampire or a werewolf. And as far as I know, Jared is a human assasin. But, you could rip him apart by chance and burn the peices.)))

Eli found himself a table in the tavern and sat, looking at the people with a smile on his face.
One group of people seemed to stand out to him the most, and so Eli focused his attention towards them. The three of them, two men and a woman, were talking, and one of the men and the woman seemed to be having a very good time with one another.
Eli's smile grew and he even chuckled a little. And then he found it- the song he needed. It was just a little nonsense child's song, but it was there in his mind now.
With a smile still on his face and his heart much lighter, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and began to hum.

Jared took another long drink, and as he set down his cup his eyes fell on a younger looking man. Jared shook his head and closed his eyes for a long second before looking at the young man again. there he was, almost the spitting image, sitting there with his eyes closed...

get a grip Jared, can't be him unless it's a ghost.

Jared drainned his mug, grabbed his food and stood up. "we'll as fun as this has been, I think I'll leave you two love birds alone."

Jared walked towards the door. As he passed the man humming he paused, something comming over him. the tune reminded him of a song he used to hear, at least it sounded kinda like it.

"Not a bad song kid, what's it called?" Jared asked, his tone had a slight hint of intrest.

Joseph sighed in exasperation as the girl tugged on him, pulling him closer and closer. He was trying desperately to not bite her.

"Do NOT bite her! If you do, she'll be cursed like you....Resist the smell of her blood! She's drunk, she doesn't know what she's doing!!!" Joseph shouted in his own mind.

"I'm sorry, milady....Would you like something to eat? I can order you some biscuits, or some chicken, if you would like...." he said, in his velvet voice. His voice sounded like a heavenly choir when he spoke. A sound so alluring, so mesmeric, that perhaps the entirety of the tavern were enthralled....maybe haunted by it.

"Hmph," Joleene muttered, "Well, if he'd rather enjoy the company of men, that's his choice, I guess."
So she said, but she knew it was merely business. And business was business. Some assassins relished hiding in dark corners, but she had found that the best hiding place was right in plain sight. It was much more enjoyable too. And thirst-quenching.

Lord Edward said, playing with a few gold coins in his hand.


Rahke opened the drawer and pulled out the coins for his payment while saying, "Reason to want the money? There might be, sir, but I don't usually disclose issues of my personal or past life. Let's just say I have... a score to settle with the Royal Family, and even my own issues with Jared."

Rahke pocketed the coins and walked forward, placing his hands on the lord's desk and leaning forward, hardly caring whether his superior minded or not. "Be careful of that Jared Kikia. He will cause Black Water trouble in the future, my lord."

Rahke began walking toward the door. He stopped just before it and looked over his shoulder. "But remember you always have one worthy blade that can take care of disruptions and traitors... as long as he's paid."

Eli opened his eyes to see it was one of the men he had been watching earlier who had spoken.
"Oh, the one I was humming?" Eli asked rhetorically.
"I can't quite recall the name right now. It was a little nonsense song my mother sang too me as a child to amuse me."
Eli let loose a small chuckle.
"Its about a bird who wanted to be a fish, and ended up becoming a duck."
((Kinda random, I know. Get use to it))
