You spend the first hour after Lang leaves tense and ready for anything. For all you know, another Warlock could come bursting through your door at any moment. If Lillian escaped the Blood Hunt's purge, it's entirely possible that another did as well. As the first hour stretches into the second and then the third, you allow yourself to relax, sprawling out in your chair as Gerard attends the security monitors. You briefly consider going back out, but decide against it—the night's already growing short and it can't hurt to preserve your un-death through an excess of caution. What's one night in an eternity?
Retire For The Night
"We are never more vulnerable than when we lie asleep, oblivious to the world around us. In centuries past, mortal hunters believed they could destroy vampires by invading our domains while the sun was at its zenith and driving a wooden stake through our un-beating hearts. This is only half-correct. Even if the stake pierces our chest in perfect fashion, we do not meet final death—in fact, we are most easily revived provided help is rendered with the appropriate alacrity."—Eden Corliss, memories of a lecture at the dawn of your un-life
Achievement: Choose A Side
Chose a side in a battle between Tremere houses.
At first there is pain, sharp and complete as your body succumbs to an assault you never had the chance to see coming. Powerless to resist, you feel your body go weightless as someone hefts you from your luxurious bed and carries you into the living room, limbs drooping and useless. You can't even open your eyes.
You're placed in a chair and interminable seconds pass as you listen to a groaning from another room. Gerard? You can't even call out to him. You can't do anything but wait. Without warning, something—a bag?—is shoved over your head and a rope is pulled tight around your neck. You're brought to your feet, hoisted onto someone's shoulders, and eventually deposited into the back of a vehicle. From there, your perception dims as pain and Hunger threaten to overtake you. It's all you can do to keep a grip on your sanity as darkness consumes you.
