Thread: Pyre and Wake

Walking slowly towards the gather, former Prince of the Domain, William Cahill approaches. He is dressed in a white shirt, blue slacks, suspenders show under his gray jacket as he walks. His boots are shined to a high polish, tonight he wears a large white cowboy hat.

Beside him walks Art Morgan. Art is still wearing his 'combat' gear, a flak jacket, blue jeans, and hiking boots. Of note though, the jeans are clean, the shirt is pressed, the boots are not caked in mud. His hair is pulled neatly back into a pony tail and his beard has been trimmed much shorter then is normal for him.

The two men talk softly back and forth with each other as they approach, nodding in greeting to the Brujah already gathered, but not speaking immediately, standing quietly to one side while preparations are finished, watching but not interfering.

A black limousine pulls to a stop in the driveway of the estate. It sits idling for a brief few moments before the driver exits the car and heads to the rear door. When the driver opens the door it is a short moment before Evan steps out of the car. He is dressed in a finally crafted black suit with black button up banded collar shirt. As he steps away from the car, it can be seen that he carries a single white rose. He then leans in and whispers to the driver some brief instructions before he begins making his way towards the other.

Once he arrives where the others are, he remains quiet and simply watches the others converse or work. His face is void of emotion with eyes hidden by dark sunglasses. He inclines his head respectfully to any and all who he may see looking at him.

Kalie walks in procession, with her clansmen, down to where the wood had been gathered. She is quiet and solemn, as she remembers and prepares for what lays ahead. Tonight she is wearing a new black dress, a sign of the respectful significance of this event. (http://www.screamingmimis.com/boutique/el%20cantante/dresses/P8070562.jpg) As she does most night, her long black hair is pulled back into a high pony tail. In her left hand she carries a dark bottle of liquid, approximately 8 ounces in size. Her right hand is clinched into a fist.

When the death march of sorts reaches its end, Kalie opens her right hand and reveals two silver coins. She turns and approaches Simon with the Urn.

Speaking quietly, those within range will here softly speak, “Nallus diutius autem simper memoria mei adversus autem simper primoris mei familia.” (OOC: Those that speak latin and are standing in the group of Brujah or very near may pm me.) She will then kiss the coins, raise them to touch her forehead and then place them inside the urn as she bows slightly in reverent respect before stepping back once again.

Benjamin joins the group. He is wearing a comfortable button up shirt, but this time it is tucked into a newer-looking pair of jeans. He is also wearing a casual, but nice, jacket. He positions himself near his Elder, Art Morgan, but doesn't directly join in his conversation with Cahill.

Holding the urn, Simon is dressed in a tailored black suit. His usual heavy biker boots have been polished to a shine and he wears the black shirt open at the neck with no tie.

As Kalie approaches Simon will turn to her and present the urn for to to place the coins in. Once that is done he will turn back towards the pyre seemingly ignoring all those around him.

Prince Nathanial Calhoun steps out of the passenger side of Miranda Montreve's car and walks over to open her door. Dressed in a simple charcoal gray suit, he's dressed much nicer than normal and is obfuscated to appear as his usual 'non-descript' self.

Holding his arm out of Miranda, he will guide her down the path to the pyre, saying nothing and not looking at his escort once... though he will brush his thumb across the back of her hand from time to time in a comforting motion.

A liquid black sports car pulls up and out of the driver's side steps Emma Fitzpatrick. She is wearing her dress issue police uniform, her red hair up in a bun on the crown of her head. Hat tucked under her arm she pauses only a moment before joining the beautiful italian woman who steps out of the passenger side: Renata Giovanni.

The two women walk down the path and only seperate when Emma leans in and whispers something to Renata. She nods once and Em goes to stand with her clansmen near the front of the assembled.

Quietly she will ask Cicero, "Should we all say something about him? A eulogy or prayer or something? I've never been to this sort of funeral before." Her tone is emotionless, empty, hollow.

Rising fluidly out of the car, she takes his offered arm and walks with him. Miranda is dressed in a long black gown, it is made of slim fitting black silk that hugs her torso, then pools out like liquid night around her legs. It leaves one shoulder bare, and elbow length black gloves are her only accessory.

She walks towards the pyre, eyes lowered occasionally giving a tight squeeze to the hand that supports her. When they reach the assembled vampires, she murmurs low greetings and stands, back stiffly strait to await the events.

Cicero looks down to Emma and his face is likewise cold, "If you wish to say something you may. We have all lost a brother, but you have something more invested with this. If it will bring you a peace of mind to speak your thoughts - I would say to do so before we ignite the flame."

*Kharma not wanting to gain too much attention stands in the back, she had gone out and bought a black dress for the occasion, and keeps her sunglasses on.(http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/a...A/Kharma-1.jpg) She watches the goings on of the event, holding a single white daisy in her hand.*
