"'Course it does. Everything 'cept that bound by the Blood." He sets the car in motion and moves down the way she pointed. "Besides, you're my only sheep at the moment. That 'n the lair, which I'm understandin' is comin' out quite nicely." He eyes her suspiciously for a moment. "..What's happened in...

"...You ain't lost to the beast, are ya?" He smirks and opens the passenger's side door. "Off to find that waste of dust, huh? Well, might as well have a set of wheels to make the trip easier, eh?"Bratty wrote: She smells the air cautiously. She recognizes that scent.
Her malshapen lips twitch briefly.

Incorrect. Religious beliefs are irrational because they are not supported by evidence, but instead by personal belief. Whether or not they are tarnished is a completely different issue. Irrational is different than worthless. Love is, after all, an emotion and thus irrational. Well the original id...

Personally, I say a person who feels guilty because they understand the consequences of their actions rather than "Mr 'god' is watching me' is far more moral than the religious individual. To me, that means a person has a intuitive understanding of right and wrong (or was just brought up right) rat...

In regards to that, Robert: do you think one needs a 'belief' to feel guilt? That someone can't just feel guilt because they saw how their actions affected someone badly? Nope, you can feel bad for any number of reasons - it's personal values that define your borders. Religion imposes a (sometimes)...

The car bounced and bobbed on the streets. Holden idly gave a thought to visit a service station to have them make sure the thing worked, what with the cash and pretties he nabbed from the dearly departed journalist. He smoothed out his shirt and slicked that black hair back, making himself presenta...

Holden hummed the song that had been rolling through his mind as he thrashed the mortal. This driving thing was easy to do with his reflexes compared to that of the absent-minded mortal. He was focused in his movements, in his resolve, in his interests. Simply what had happened to his 'sidekick' of ...

Holden finished smashing the body of the reporter through his own mirror in his own house. He let the body slump to the floor with a sickening flop, and lit a cigarette. A drag into those dried and dead lungs, where the smoke permeated the Ventrue throughout, and he then flicked it into the mass of ...

The animals were already running around scared from the quake. True. the media sucks. BUT when humans are "the most forward thinking creatures on the planet," th...

~smirks~ I didnt side step your point. I clarified why some people would believe in Astrology. Don't be a moron: I wasn't talking about why some people would believe in astrology; I was addressing Lindar's claim regarding the moon.

Random sampling is bunk - and this is coming from a psychologist. Most studies ignore both of these and skew results in order to definitely prove or definitely disprove a theory instead of leaving the true results. And these results are always changing.

"So, yous guys comin' with?" He starts walking into an alley and begins the change from human to wolf form, bones popping and re-shaping, sickening noises leaving him. He leaves no pile of clothes, as his are bound to his form, appearing as mottled spots. A sticker that reads, "Hi. My name is..." cl...

Holden leads her down the street, looking over to her. "Have you manifested the ability to move unseen yet?" Not really expecting, but awfully curious.

Holden pulled out a pocket watch and investigated the time. He tipped his head to a side and looked to Rose. "Yes, lets." He stood, fixed his shirt and offered his coat to his companion. I think we'll be able to move about too unhindered. Perhaps we can find some back ways, for I know where the Laso...

"Indeed. Vengeance and violence make our hearts beat again. Or at least feed the beast. In any instance... some entrancement upon the proper people, influence bought and traded in the right areas. A few directions here and there and this place would be grand." Holden shrugged. "There might be a day ...

Holden smirked. "'Someone' broke the sanctity of Elysium. If you have a name, we can claim retribution, one way or another." Holden spat.

Holden slouches a bit. He is relieved. "Not welcome? The Primogen turned his back on you for sharing information? Unheard of, especially amongst the Nosferatu." Holden sits down across from Rose again. "My sire had earned right of progeny through his deeds. When I was made...well, I said I understoo...
