"'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...

Her malshapen lips twitch briefly.
"...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?"

Holden looks to the rubble that used to be sin incarnate, and shakes his head. Too much trouble. As he looks to the street again, there stands the forever-damaged form of Cassie. He quickly slams on the brakes and twists the wheel to avoid her, skidding to a halt.

"Damnit, woman!"

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 ...

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.

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...

"Yes Rose, don't lose yourself in it all. Discerning and distanced."

Holden held one arm across his torso, other hand up over his lips. He is entranced, pondering...is this the right thing?

"Give her the desires of her heart, but give those desires boundaries."

He watches intently.

Holden couldn't see what was going on, but he began getting apprehensive. He didn't have a clue. Now was a time to have a Toreador elder on hand. But to hell with them. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and shrugged off his coat, becoming restless.
