"Well, once all your human friends are dead and your family too, that's when you have lived long enough to start thinking like a real vampire. I have no living family or friends, I visit dead relatives sometimes on the other side, but they too have lost touch with the human world. It is something that comes with time. If you don't pick it out for yourself, it's about the time they quit calling you neonate and start referring to you as ancilla."

"Ah... " Sal would tent his fingers and look around. "The concept of loosing connection to the world around was something that I didn't really wish to think on much. To much to experience. I am sure that in the end I will succumb to the apathy of experience that all vampire do. That one will have all lived and done all that can be experienced in mind body and soul. If a vampire still had a soul."

"Losing touch with humanity is hard for most vampires, that's why a lot of us choose to divorce ourselves from it by taking another path, as I have done." He takes a swig from his ghoul. "I am no longer attached to mortal concern any more than they pertain to my unlife"

Sal would just nod. He would be deep in thought at the moment.

"Purpose, what our purpose is. Why are we still here what purpose do vampires serve in the grand scheme of things. You seem to have found your purpose. and The fact that all that we are is really just window dressing for something larger then ourselves that is pushing us around as pieces on the a board. Gehenna will come and no one ones what form it will take and how we will be judged or even if we will. The reign of night will be glorious, but to whom, what is the return of the progenitor lead to. Could it be something even more terrible then the reign of the sabbat. Could the force that now preying upon the older blood of the city be a herald of this. Is it something a person can serve or will it simply be a force of nature that we have no chance of understanding. Everything and Everyone is interconnected, it is our bloodlines that make us vampires, there is nothing truly powering us except for that spark that is not our own. it is why we mus drink the life of others in order to survive...."
Sal would sit up and smile like something had lifted. "Sorry I can be a little melancholy at times. You are right being what we are is something great. I would not have it any other way. But Yes i can always stand to learn more things as time goes on."

"I could sit here and shoot the shit with you all night, and nights beyond counting. Its what I do. Some of what there is to tell should make you more than melanchally. It would make you down right terrified. The only thing that allows me to sleep at night is that the talk of the end being near is exactly the same as when I was a neonate some time ago, and when my sire was a childe some years before that."

sontering up to the table the singer seems a little stunned as she nears "I was just about to ask if you could can the trinket before our next set but whats this about elders from both sides going missing?"

"Reliable Rumors. I have been able to get a few things confirmed but at the moment I have little more then the knowledge that those with thick blood are being targeted. I think elders would be targeted because people make the assumption their blood is more powerful." Sal would smile and would lean forward a little."
"I'm Sal by the way." he would offer to take her hand to kiss it as a gentleman always should.

"I don't think I will." his tone was not rude. he was polite and jovial. "It takes too much time for me to redo the ritual if it is removed. You can do your song under your own influence, or just don't use your power for the song. I am not in the habit of repeating rituals cast for the evening in the middle of the night you see. While you can turn your power on and off at will, I have to go through a long drawn out process and I don't want to do it in front of everyone here, or hide in the bathroom like a teenager on drugs to prepare myself before leaving."

"You must be new to town. People come to this club to be overwhelmed by powers meant to enhance. Now which sounds more fair to you. that we cancel the show and everyone loses out on why most of them came or you give a little? this is an Elysium we are monitored so no one is abused. other less disciplined performers would have lost the focus or choked. If you refuse then i am done for the night but if you make it habit the people in here might start to resent you."

"Fine then, I'll leave. I was defending you and your talent a moment ago, but if you cannot take what you dish out, and refuse to perform without your powers, I guess I was wrong. I am not going to subject myself to all that is necessary just for you to perform." He gets up from his table "I guess I will contact you later Sal, let me know about that business we have"

"Come on now." Sal would look at Gary. "There no need to be so defensive. She has a point here. But i understand what your concern is, If its a huge deal then we can leave together. I was just filling time."
Sal would turn to her and would say "You do have a lovely voice but you are correct I didn't realize that was a place where people came to lose themselves I will have to remember that for when i return. cause i need to be in that type of mood. I am sorry about my associate here."

"It is kind of a big deal. We Tremere have more powers at our disposal than most other, but none of our powers are instant effortless. Taking off this cord shuts the power down completely and it is not reactivated just by putting it on, I would have to do a long incantation over the cord, then tie it in a specific manner. If it was as easy as off and on like celerity, then I woudn't care." His voice was only slightly agitated, more like disappointed.

"I am not trying to be mean here sir but with lighting, sound checks, rehearsals, choreography, props and costumes we put some time from our night in to these things to so that long dead hearts might feel something. I am not the only one performing tonight, so think what you want of my talent I am considering all the artists. I am sorry you feel you have to leave but maybe next time take in the show before..."
He voice is cut off by a pair of loud pop sound the kind a air gun might make and Coretta's head turns to the sound. "What the fuck?"
when you look to see what she is talking about you will notice what looks like two burnt homeless people shambling in from the direction of the door. while watching at third appears unlike the use of obfuscate there is a loud pop and the latest one is simply there.
