Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Confession

Remember, wherever we go, it is the blood of Caine which marks our fate. Farewell, vampire.

what kind of catharsis do you need?

Sleep

Tired, aren't you? That's okay -- it's been a long, long day. Can you even remember the last time you've had a nice rest, when you were truly at peace? How long have you been running on empty for, anyway? Please, sit, drink something warm, close your eyes. There will be time in the morning to do everything that needs to be done.

“The man’s taken an irrational dislike to me.” (from @malkavian-shrink )

meme my dumb ass lost.  again.  ||  @malkavian-shrink

"So I've heard."

Quite the spiel he’d overheard upon his ghoul’s return home, detailing a certain thorn that had proven nearly impossible to remove.  Considering that could be...literally anybody in this God forsaken city, curiosity won over, and Naoki gave specifics, Damian couldn’t help but laugh.  Malkavians - it’s always Malkavians that drive people up the wall.  By this point, Damian would have thought the man would have grown accustomed to their presence and varying brands of depravities, but clearly there was something about this one that had crawled under his skin, to the point he couldn’t simply let go of annoyances and instead let it fester into straight up dislike.

In a way, he understands.  All the guest appearances this Kindred had made at the Chantry had gotten to him, too, but thus far he’d seemed relatively harmless.  More or less.  And, after wards were tripped during the last visit, Damian can’t imagine there will be many more in the future, at least not without some announcement preceding it. 

....one can hope, anyway.

“Think nothing of it.  So long as you are a guest here -- an invited guest, your wish is his command.  Within reason, of course.”

My long-time tabletop partner - the player of Damian’s Nosferatu BFF mentioned here - and I were sharing muse vibes back and forth, and after sending her that gifset I reblogged, she sent me this in return, and I’m dying.  I know it won’t mean much to anyone here, all things considered, but I need it on this blog, because if I had to sum up their friendship, this.  This is it sldkjfas

"do you need anything for the pain?" (from /post/672238356009304064 | from Evike to Damian )

“Да, чтобы Наоки принял асприн, чтобы я мог его укусить....”  Muttered to himself more than anything, muffled further by gritted teeth and the hand before his face, pressing fingers against his eyes.  Imagine that - a headache!  If only the pounding at his temples weren’t so obnoxious, perhaps it would have drawn more curious interest, as that is not something that merely happens anymore.  In fact, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d suffered through it.  Something so basic and common amongst Kine, now a cause for concern.  Either Camarilla bullshit had really ramped up, or he’d stumbled across something in his wanderings that struck deep without his knowing of its existence.  Whichever the case may be, it sucks.  

“I’m fine.”  There is tension in those words barely masked by the casual, cordial tone so well-practiced it’s second nature.  After a moment, the hand drops to rest against the steering wheel, fingers drumming an absent rhythm beneath a piercing gaze that struggles to focus, his throbbing head scrambling to wrap around something that might serve as a clue as to what the hell he’d walked into that evening, but perhaps that was best saved for later.  A fresh memory was better to work with, true, though currently, all he wants is to distance himself just a bit, if only for a while and wait things out.

Suppose he could accept the offer of help, too, but that’s going to be a hard pass.  He would rather not imagine what that anything might entail.

"I hope you had better luck than I did..?”

Violence and Treachery from the sinful asks meme?

VIOLENCE - A time my muse attacked someone unprovoked or without reason.

For all the bad things he has done in the past, he actually hasn't attacked anyone entirely unprovoked, verbal or physical. On the rare occasion he actually goes off on someone, there is always a reason, and for the most part, it takes a lot. Damian is a fairly laid back individual, usually letting things roll off his shoulders, but even so, it is not impossible to drive him to the point of actually attacking somebody. It might take a lot, but it can happen. And just like everyone else, some days that is easier to achieve than others. He's got pissy moods as much as anybody, and yes, those are the days when he very well might attack somebody, but it would still take something to spark that fire.

TREACHERY - A time my muse betrayed someone after building up a relationship.

Now, this is more Damian's style. 

 While he does have some relationships that are legitimate - ones he actually cares about, makes efforts in/for, and continues to build as time ticks on - there are a number that were built for the sole purpose of betrayal. If he sees something in a person that might be used as blackmail later, if he gains information he needs and has no further use for the one in question, if he already knows a dirty little secret and plays the part of a caring friend and ally only to gather as much Intel as possible before he turns that "friend" over and reaps the benefits - it's all a game to him, deciding who is worth his time and who is worth only whatever he might gain. And in a hundred-plus years, he has learned to play fairly well.

As for a specific incident, there was one a few years back, when faced with a coterie and everything that has to bring with it. Along with him were four others - two Toreador, a Ventrue, and a Malkavian, and all were about the same age, same level of experience of the nightly goings-on within Kindred society, and all that jazz...with the exception of the Ventrue, Ethan. He was marginally younger than the rest, yet in the short span of his life as Kindred, he had achieved immense amounts of success, knew things he probably shouldn't (especially considering he no longer had a sire guiding him ), dabbled in questionable things and presented vast knowledge of those things, and showed a great deal of influence that...well, that part wasn't suspicious necessarily, but it did play into things later on and with further thought.

Naturally, Damian was curious what the deal was.

No one with half a brain in their skull is going to admit to their secrets to just anybody, so he played his hand carefully. As the pair worked together, they grew closer and closer, and eventually the Ventrue legitimately considered Damian a trusted ally and friend. Eventually, he spilled the beans that he had some association with another who had been guiding his hand, offering advice and resources and promises of power, and all it took was cooperation. At least, at first. It came to light that this associate, or advisor as Ethan referred to him, wasn't exactly...well, let’s just say he dabbled in a bit of infernalism.  Which is, of course, a big no-no.  Ethan kept it quiet, telling only a couple of his closest and most trusted companions - Damian included.  Damian kept his mouth shut about it for a short period of time, solely to gather as much information about this person as Ethan was willing to share.  Where exactly the guy was located was of specific interest, and once he had that, Damian and his Nosferatu friend (one of those actual friends for whom he’d burn a city down, if the need ever arose) took care of two problems:  they went after the infernalist and anyone else sharing his nest, and also staked Ethan out on a rooftop to wait for the sunrise.

This was an extreme and well-deserved example, and the latter is not always true when Damian opts to “switch sides”.  Hell, he has turned on people he’s built relationships with just to prove a point in the past, but the above was a more recent instance.

(( I know we're new mutuals but I wanted to say how much I love the thought and details you put into Damian. Like in that music ask I sent in - I feel like you went the extra mile explaining the setup of how a certain song came into his life, and most importantly, how it makes him feel! I love that. ))

What drew you to my blog initially, and what, so far, has made you stay? // @adjective-mordant

Ahh, thank you so much!!

Of all the OCs I have, or that I have played over the years, Damian has always had a special place. He's also one of (if not the oldest - right up there with my Baali, now that I think about it) of the bunch, so I've definitely had time to iron out details and whatnot.  I’ve also been pretty fortunate to play TT with an amazing group of people, who have helped me get to this point with him.  It actually pains me to not have as much time to dedicate to this particular blog just for that reason...but what can ya do, right?

In any case, this is definitely, very, VERY much appreciated!   <33
