[OPEN] SOUTHWARK TERRITORY CLAIM

[baisant]

It should never be said that Jean-Claude does anything halfway. So too might be true of the claim to try and regain Southwark for Islington.

And so he sends out a proverbial white glove to Daybreak. A formal challenge, detailing what Islington is after, how they believe they have been wronged, and how they would like to take it back. Naming a time and place where the two parties should meet (a quiet area, after the sun has set), where Jean-Claude and those who will join him for his cause shall be waiting. To fight for what is theirs.

It's all very romantic, if he says so himself. Brings him back to an era where such a thing was more commonplace. A time and place that he rather misses, all things considered.

He sends out a call to arms amongst the vampires as well. Letting them know his intentions. Letting them know that he has specified there will be no cheating in this match-up, no silver bullets, no fairy aid. No teeth. An honest match, between the vampires of Islington and the witches of Daybreak. And may the winner reap the riches. It's pretty clear what sort of a stand he's trying to make, a stark contrast to the latest brutality. He can only wait and see what sort of a statement it makes. Regardless of the outcome.

So Jean-Claude plans. And thus they assemble, at the appointed place, at the appointed time. And so do Daybreak and Islington come together in their first honorable battle in decades. As honorable as a battle gets, of course...

((ooc: come tag in and fight alongside your fellow witch/vampire, discuss amongst each other the strategy and your opinion of it before going in, OR react together to how it was handled and the fact that they lost afterwards -- have at it! c: there are not that many daybreaks involved/signed up, as a note, so please team up with each other and feel free to NPC daybreak opponents for yourselves! ))

"You are as vain as a little peacock," Cooper says, shaking his head. There's little malice behind the words. If Cooper looked the way Thomas does, he supposes he'd have reasons to be vain too.

He can only hope the vampire will put his money where his mouth is in the upcoming conflict and prove as to why he should be a member of the nest.

A noncommittal shrug and a grin was all he could offer in response. Thomas couldn't really deny that, after all, nor did he have any issues with that fact.

He didn't say anything more, though, as the time had nearly come for the fighting to begin. Once it did, Thomas would clearly put quite a bit of effort and determination into his fighting, his usual flirtatious demeanor melting away into something more aggressive, but he still restrained himself and forced himself to follow the rules. Besides, his goal was to defeat the witches, not to necessarily kill them, and for a little bit he seemed to be doing fairly well, though in the end a moment of cleverness on the part of a witch he ended up fighting would take him out of the fight.
