49th Appetizer

[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.]

Brother, is something wrong?

[Raising a shaky hand to his mouth, Rido's eyes turn to glare balefully at the intrusive device sitting on a nearby table.]

... 'brother'?

[He looks as if he might be sick again, but he manages to control it for the moment.]


Something... yes.

You are a very ellusive individual, and I have not been able to get ahold of you and formally induct you. However, for all intents and purposes, you are one of us now.

You look ill.

Yes. This is... unexpected. A curse?

I suspect this is so.

I have been affected today, in my own way.

[He turns up the brightness on his device, allowing Rido to see his no-longer-vampiric face.]

What happened to you?

[Rido peers through narrowed eyes at the display for a moment before turning away to cough up a little more blood. When he looks back, his expression betrays the exhaustion he's been feeling.]

I need... I need someone to wait on me.

The Dark Gift has been taken from me, and I am once again mortal. Thankfully, the City reverted me to the age I was at the time of my turning.

The Brotherhood take care of one another. Even if I cannot reach you, I will find someone who can. This city is becoming quite frantic as of late.

Mortal? How... clever of them.

[He seems less than thrilled at the thoughts passing through his mind.]

You are useful then. Good. How will I know who you're sending?

Ask this question: What is the color of night. The correct answer will be "Sanguine, my Brother". That is how you will know.

How quaint.

Alright...
