Arrival of Cailen Cage (ATT:Anyone)

**allentheos** · 02-28-2010, 06:45 PM

The car sputtered and spewed the final remnants of the tank, then slowly rolled to a complete stop.

Cailen sat in the drivers seat, his only passengers, a small battered holdall he had been living out of for the past six months lay on the back seat, and the front passenger seat housed the semi-acoustic Hofner Bass guitar he had played many times with his band Pleasent Bullet.

He turns to his beloved bass "Looks like we`re walking from here".

The drivers door opens and Cailen places his, worn, Armani shoe on to the asphalt. The shoes had seen better days, once shined to perfection every morning, catching the reflection of the daytime sun as he walked the street, but now scuffed and beaten and like Cailen himself will never again be what they once were in the light of day.

He opens the back, leans in and slips the holdall around his shoulder. Scuffling around in the side pocket he finds his pack of marlboro, takes one and ignites the end with his Limited edition Pleasent Bullet Zippo lighter.
Placing the lighter into his front shirt pocket he takes a long drag on the cigarette, there is no burn in his throat or no pain in his chest as he exhales the blue green smoke. His embrace took alot away from him including his ability to enjoy a god damn cigarette.

As he makes his way to the passenger side to collect "Hofner" he notices bathed in the yellow from his headlights, a sign, a big green freeway sign like the ones you see the unlucky hero/heroine drive past at the start of a cheesy horror movie.

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING LAMAR
Underneath some "clever" youth decided it would be amusing to scrawl the words "The shithole of missouri, death is a better option".

"Lovely." Says Cailen "tried death....didnt like it."

He starts walking towards the lights behind the polite sign, see`s the many districts and trys to decide which way to go first. Then stopping in his tracks he feels something, a presence of some kind.

Like there was someone stood right behind him.

Droz and Calhoun look at the newcommer from where he is safely hidden watching the streets. After a bit of study Droz walks out to welcome the newcommer, leaving calhoun still cloaked behind him.

A little warily Cailen turns. The man stood there makes him feel slightly uneasy. Learning from his mistakes upon his arrival in America, where he was very nearly killed by the kindred with no sense of humour, he resists the urge to mention Dark Man.

"Hello Friend" he says

**dballoun** · 02-28-2010, 08:20 PM

(OOC lol droz would have loved that)

"Hello, how are you tonight? I dont believe that we have met before."

**allentheos** · 02-28-2010, 08:44 PM

"I`m as well as I can be, thanks for asking. No never met, I`m sure I would of remembered you if we had. Names Cailen Cage, and you are?"

he holds out his hand for a handshake, then notices the mans hand bandages. not knowing what to do he keeps it there hoping the gesture is returned.

**dballoun** · 03-01-2010, 07:20 PM

Droz takes the hand after looking at it for a moment

"Names Droz, what brings you to Lamar?"

**allentheos** · 03-01-2010, 08:30 PM

Cailen shakes Droz`s hand. Still feeling unsure and slightly intimidated he answers

"well it`s kind of accidental, i wasn`t sure where I was going. I just kept driving, seems for some reason iv`e ended up here."

Cailen looks around and gestures towards the lights of Lamar.

"If I believed in destiny thats what i would`ve put it down to." he smiles

"Looks like i`m going to be staying around for a while. who do I need to speak to, to get a place to stay while im here?"

As Cailen was talking he couldnt help but notice the bandages on Droz`s face.
The way they criss crossed around his head, the patterns in the fabric.They were almost beautiful, this confused him.

He felt this way about meaningless things that wouldnt have interested him before his embrace, but now, many of times he`s found himself staring at a paper bag blowing in the wind for almost an eternity.

I dont know, it depends on a lot of factors. What groups do you usually hang around with?

**allentheos** · 03-02-2010, 10:14 AM

"I`ve never really hung with any groups, kinda like to fly solo so to speak. If you could direct me to the people in the know that would be great. Just steer me clear of the Gangrel, we dont seem to gel that well"

" thats got to suck,"

kendov had watched the stranger walking and decided to follow when droz had appeared, he walked closer to the conversation. slipping the sunglasses over his eyes. he wore jeans a t shirt and a floor length black coat. " so you dont know who your related to"
