Ken. Mara. I've decided to forgive you both. Isn't that generous?

[Accidental video]
[Rido Kuran's network device flashes on of it's own accord, showing the Pureblood in the somewhat indelicate position of being doubled over and caught in the act of having been violently sick. Beneath him, the floor is awash with the contents of his stomach, staining it a deep viscous crimson.
Clearly, his diet of blood has caught up to him in a most unpleasant way.]

Visitors again? I've changed my mind... this, I find interesting.
Cassian, bring my coat, I'll be going out tonight.

Don't curses only last 1 day?
[Private: open to Jezebel Disraeli, Luke Valentine, and Aion]
They just don't make things like they used to... they break so easily.
Oh, Doctor~... I suppose I should have asked if Cassian had any medical conditions I should be aware of. Better late than never, I guess.

[It takes a moment after the song ends for the Pureblood to speak. But when he does, he does not sound amused.]
........ what is this?
[Action Only: CLOSED]
[Leaving Cassian alone in his home at such an early stage of his 'service' was unthinkable. But so was taking him too close to the City where potential allies resided.
This test was far more acceptable. A small outing by moonlight where conditions were always in the vampire's favor. It was time to see how Cassian behaved on a longer leash...
Shoving his hands deeply into the pockets of his long black coat, he sauntered out of the thick growth of trees lining the beach. It was dark, yes. But the moon hung brightly in the blackened sky, illuminating the beach below.]
I wouldn't dawdle in the woods if I were you. There are things out there that I'm sure you'd find... unpleasant.
[The Pureblood stared out at the rolling water, not even questioning whether Cassian was obeying his directive. There was nowhere he could go and nothing he could do to escape the debt he owed Rido. If he were smart, he'd have learned that by now.]
Come. I want to walk near the water...

[Accidental Video]
[The sound of cascading water is the first thing to carry over Rido Kuran's network device, quickly followed by the visual of a white polished room filled with a thick steamy fog. Clearly, no moment can be too private in the City as even showers seem to be fair game.
Through the swirling mist, the viewers can catch glimpses of the long lean form of the vampire as he bathes. His dark loose curls are weighted down heavily upon his upper back by the water, and his skin glistens in the hazy interior light. He's quite clearly very unaware that he's being watched.
What he is aware of, however, is the sudden weight on his wrist as he reaches up to run his hand through his hair, and the sudden unmistakable presence of another being standing behind him. Muscles tensing, he slowly turns his head to gaze at the intruder, his face a careful mask to hide the various thoughts running through his mind.]

Well, what a nice surprise. I have to say the City's version of entertainment has improved drastically.

Let's tally the final scores and end this.

[Unnoticed Video]
[Rido Kuran, Pureblooded Vampire, seems to be quite surprised. An ever expanding pool of blood spreads on the floor around him, and his body is absolutely drenched by the viscous fluid. Taking a moment, he stares in wonderment at his crimson hands before allowing his eyes to drift shut to inhale deeply of it's rich aroma. A euphoric smile slowly spreads across his face and he murmurs softly to himself... and unknowingly to all the network.]
Oh, doesn't this bring back memories...

Imposter.
[Rido Kuran stands over the body of a dark haired individual in black clothes. His hands are covered in blood but he hardly seems to notice. Tilting his head, he absent-mindedly lifts the fingers of one hand to his lips. His mouth quirks slightly as the spark of an idea glimmers in his mismatched colored eyes.]
... still. Waste not, want not~
[Leaning down, he grabs the figure by the collar of the coat and begins to drag the body away.]

[Rido Kuran's hand traces over a roughly hewn rock wall. His head tilts slightly and after a short pause, he glances back at his network device.]
... I don't suppose you'd like to tell me where you've put the various routes to my home. Or are you trying tobe more of a nuisance inconvenience me?
[He shrugs and makes his way back to the surface, not really expecting the deities to answer.]
Cameron, are you listening? It looks like two of your officers are missing... pity. If you'd listened they'd be safely in your care instead of trapped somewhere underground... I'd ask the deities what they've done with them if I were you. And in case you'll worry, I'll be sure to let you know when I've found someplace new.
Which leads me to ask... does anyone know of a good quality place for me to rest? Short term, until I can find something more... reliable.

[Birds chirp softly in the background, the only sound coming from the Pureblood vampire's device. It takes a minute for Rido Kuran to speak. The tone in his voice is difficult to interpret, but one thing for certain is that the usual humor in it is strangely missing.]
I require... a hand.
[ooc: Backdated to around noon.]

What... You'd hoped expected something different~?
Cameron~. I think it's time that we talked, don't you?
[Private to the remaining player's of the Villain's Game plot]
We're missing a vote. The final vote, I believe. Unless I've forgotten someonenot really worth remembering.
As for the player's that have left the City... Well~... I'd say that counts as an instant forfeiture.
What do you say, gentlemen, that if they return... the winner can claim what's owed?

[Rido's mismatched eyes slide over to the side of the room, and his mouth twists into a look of slight disgust.]
You. I thought I was rid of you.
[He pauses, his head tilting slightly as if listening, but the room remains quiet.]
Why?
[The corner of his mouth quirk into what could only be called a sardonic mocking smile.]
Don't you know~? Come now, Haruka... don't be so stupid. You're as much to blame, little brother. None of us are 'innocent'...
[His eyes drift to stare at nothing as he leans back in his chair, retreating deeply into his fevered thoughts.]
No.......
You were the one who was the mistake. I should have taken care of things centuries before...

[Rido stands with his usual cocky smile absent from his face as he stares intently out at an expanse of water where the entrance to the Underground 'used' to be. Behind him, two officers talk quietly together, both of them looking a bit uncomfortable as they watch to see what the Pureblooded Vampire is going to put them through next.]
Well, isn't this a... problem.
[He turns slightly, peering over his shoulder at the humans with narrowed eyes.]
And just where do you expect me to sleep now?

Go away. Your time is up.
[Rido turns away to ignore the person off screen and faces the blinking network device. Slumping in his tall backed chair he sighs, slight irritation crossing his features as he reaches up a hand to rub his temple before addressing whoever might be listening.]
Fine. I'm listening. You all have my undivided attention.
[The Pureblooded King forces a small smile on his face, cocking his head in feigned amusement as he speaks.]
Tell me. What is it then... that you think makes you 'special'?
