As Gavin arrived at Nagasaki International Airport, his mind drifted.
"She's got to be here." he whispered to himself.
<<Yeah keep telling yourself that, brav>>
As always, Chester seemed to have something to say.
But he had a point. Gavin had been chasing her down for a while. As he waited for the plane to taxi in he started thinking about his journey. How he had fallen in love with a beautiful woman in Boston... How that same woman had destroyed his life... And how she left him to experiance the pain of his change by himself not knowing what was happening.
When he finally had some control return he vowed to find her again. He had first heard that she had gone to Chicago but that ended in nothing... He then chased her down to Austin Texas, but again she was nowhere to be found. He finally heard a rumor of her in San Francisco, but that too had no results... Until he found himself in Chinatown, and he heard about the things happening in Nagasaki... And about Amy... And how she might be able to help him end this once and for all. After all, Nora had always been attracted to Chaos and power, and so this was as good a place as any to start looking once again.
As he stepped off the plane and walked in to the airport, he felt a tingle in his body. Something that called to him.
Chester knew this feeling as well as Gavin did, and in Gavin's mind they agreed that she must be here somewhere after all.
>>But where to begin?<< Gavin thought.
<<Well, I guess the first thing you could do is find this Amy>> thought Chester in return, <<Or you can try and get some Japanese take out HAHAHA>>
It was a long flight, and he was hungry (in more ways then one), but should he not introduce himself first. Hmmmm......

Avice arrived on the scene and was not sure who to look for. Finn ran into her and asked her to look for someone. She did not have much interaction with Amy's close Malkavian in fact the wired Vamp was out of Avice's comfort zone. He seemed to be in another mood extreme every time she saw him. The airport was not too crowded being the night hours but the freshly landed planes were funneling out into the Nagasaki streets. Avice had already ripped a box and wrote, "Gavin to Amy" upon it. keeping it discrete and it should be an obvious message for those knowing who to look for.
Looking for faces or some clue as to tell the difference between man and vamp. It should be easy and not many fit the bill. she would assume they'd not be japanese and not tourist either. It would just come down to her knowing who she is looking for when she sees him.

>>I think it would be best to consult with this Amy before we look for food.<< thought Gavin, >>After all you dont just go in to someones house and raid the fridge.<<
He started to walk through the airport thinking about how he would find Amy and where to begin his search for Nora. As he exited the front doors of the airport, Chester thought <<Well look at her... Hey maybe she can help you out. After all she has a sign with your name on it.>>
Gavin looked at the woman Chester was talking about. Without a doubt she was interesting but a sign saying "Gavin to Amy"... That cant be right. The more he noticed, the more objections filled his mind.
<<How did Amy even know you were coming Gavin, to know to send somebody?>> thought Chester
Gavin felt unsettled but he couldnt just stand there. At his height he was sure to stand out.
>>Well if she knew enough to send someone then I'm sure they have a description.<< Gavin thought.
<<Well walk past her and if she knows what to look for then all the better for ya, if not then we look for Amy on our own, yeah?>>
Chester had a point and those moments where few and far between and so Gavin proceeded to walk towards the beauty holding the sign...

Just standing here holding a scrap of cardboard, she felt silly. Just about as silly as thinking the Malkavian played a joke on the Scourge. She almost felt she knew the type by now. Just soon after the whole thing got to her she spotted him. Come one the abnormally tall and bright hair was a dead give away, but that goes without mentioning the glamour appeal he would exude. There was hardly an in between, either abnormal looking or abnormally good looking was the way kindred lived. However their was the rules to follow. Avice was clan-less but she was not Prince-less.
She would wave the dude over. Trying not to be awkward she was going to try and get her answers. She met his face and waved the cardboard above her head. She was not the tallest thing by any means but seems like this guy might just compensate what she lack with his own decent altitude.

<<I guess she knows you Gavin>> thought Chester.
Sure enough the little one started waving the sign as soon as she looked at his face and recognition set on hers.
It would be silly for him to believe that this Amy could help him find Nora if she wouldnt know he was coming without him saying anything. In a way this gave him hope.
>>Do me a favor and keep you comments to a minimum Chez. I'd like to keep my head clear for the time being.<<
Gavin didnt get a response so he figured Chester would "behave"... At least for now.
Gavin made his way to the girl while looking around his surroundings. He didn't sense anyone and so he decided it should be ok. He removed his shades and looked at her while introducing himself.
"I may not be sure but are you waiting for me? I didn't know I was expected." he said with a slight smirk on the right corner of his mouth...

Avice chunked the Board away, but she drew a blank for just a moment. She was kind of at a loss for words, so it was hard for her to try and make sense of something that was hard for her self to understand. However she would be, as should be, honest. "Not really sure you are expected, but Malkavian word travels fast, if you know what that means. But yes I was asked to come get you from Finn, he is with Prince Amy. I, however, think I was just there at the right place at the right time for him to ask me to do the honors. My name is Avice Locke, I also work in service of the Prince."
Avice placed her hands on her hips. Her only thoughts were that possibly leaving out that she was the Prince's Scourge was better for now. The trust level in this situation is thin ice and might send the wrong message. Finn really must of had it out for her tonight for some reason, however he must have felt she should be able to handle it. she would wait for him to come to his own conclusion as a stray hair blew in her face. Her curls reacted to the humid night air making them frazzled but she cared less about her appearance than some. Those dark curls are more trouble than they are worth some nights.

Gavin felt a little out of sorts. He had only recently discovered that there were clans in the kindred. It seemed like this little one had plenty of knowledge and apparently she knew Amy so he decided that while he did trust her, it was only to an extent. He placed his hands in his pockets and instantly felt comfort in the knives touching his skin. While he may come across as a little uneducated in their ways, no better time to learn rules then the present. He pulled his hands back out... Just one more reason for him to find Nora and try to understand what was done to him. Apparently Avice also had some spunk. It took a bit to not laugh a little when she put her hands on her hips.
"I'm sorry to say but I'm afraid I dont know what you mean about, "Malkavian" did you say? But it is a pleasure to meet you Avice. I'm Gavin Donnelly. I was actually looking to speak to Amy about a matter. Lead the way love."
She had a way about her that lead him to trust her... Maybe more then he should.
<<Did she say PRINCE Amy? You sure this is a good idea Gav? I mean maybe you should go your own way.>> thought Chester.
>>Well, we've come this far and if we were going to see Amy, this would have happened reguardless anyway.<< he thought in return.
At that moment he noticed a stray hair blow in to Avice's face. He didnt think twice about it.
"May I?" he asked and chuckled as he moved slowly to put the strand back in its place.

Avice didn't move but her eyes might have revealed some slight internal 'yikes' at the surprise of it. Still she'd allow it. while that happened she spoke in response.
"Well, Gavin, Malkavian kind have this internal link with each other. All of them in each others head. It is almost impossible to get past them without everyone knowing. So if Finn caught something it might have pinged seeing you come to Nagasaki and everyone has to pass by the Prince. It sounds pretty daunting but really though she is... neat and respectable." It was hard to find the right word but that was accurate in a couple of different ways. "
"If you are ready we can head that way?"

He smirked a little as he put the strand back in place and listened to what she had to say about these Malkavians. He noticed that, as he put the strand in place, it was probably a good idea he moved slowly... She seemed a little startled which just made him more comfortable.
"I see. So every clan has their speciality." he mused.
He wondered where his "gifts" fit in at. He was pretty sure that not every kindred could do what he could, although he hadn't met too many who he was able to talk to so freely. Maybe it was more common then he thought. Oh well... Best keep it to himself for now. You never know when an illusion can help you out. Especially with the kind of trouble he was known to get in to nowadays.
He did wonder what she ment by "neat" and "respectable". He guessed he would find out. However, he could tell that Chester might have his own objections.
"I'm ready when you are love... Lead the way."

Avice started to walk, she came to another conclusion she hadn't thought about and it made more sense now that he mentioned it. Still leading the way she would speak.
"I see you are pretty new to this? I must say I might have been too forward it felt you are handling your change better than I did. It took me years before I found out anything, I kind of like to think it is possible that I rejected my Gangrel gifts in some fashion so I actually don't have a clan ability specifically. Shoot I never got to understand my scum of a sire before he died. I had someone else who got me started on this life... I think this might be the reason why I was sent, I might be one of the youngest ones."
While they walked Avice decided to grab the full top half of her hair and wrap it in a band. It would only take a second but the hair itself was indeed frizzing from the humid air and she'd hope to get rid of the strays. Some vamps like Prince Amy or even the Brujah Primogen had their 'Peeves' so she would normally take note if this might be one for Gavin.

<<Oh yeah Gav you're handling the change sooooo well. hahaha>>
Gavin figured Chester would laugh about that... After all Chester was part of the result of him NOT handling it too well. He enjoyed how comfortable Avice was to just talk without really holding back, but he did notice she put her hair up. He smirked again.
>>Guess I wont be doing that again.<< he thought to himself.
But they did have something in common, and since she shared her past, he felt it only right that he trust her enough to share a little of his.
"I guess I can understand how you feel Avice. I was left alone to deal with what was happening to me as well. However, I definately knew my attacker, or at least thought I did."
His hand touched the chain to the wallet holding the reciept. The reciept for the ring he had planed to give.
"However, my sire is still very much alive, at least to my knowledge. Its one reason I came to Nagasaki. I heard of Amy from a kindred in San Francisco. He said she could possibly help me find them. Although I did not expect such a warm welcome." he smirked a little at these words as he looked at Avice again.
"Is there anything I should know in regards to this meeting? I notice you have a sence of formality here and apparently I stick out pretty bad. I would rather not have conflict if possible."

Avice looked up at him, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. With that and the newly found similarities it might not be too bad she came out to help tonight. She did not know too many others who had lost or been abandoned by their Sire. It was tough trying to figure things out on our own, even harder to find someone to make up for lost time. It was just plain luck she found Inuko and Rumor. She touched her necklace. A smooth stone entangled in a light colored metal. Rumor said it was red and silver. After being an orphan and then being abandoned time and again she finally got to the point in her life with what she would call a family. All for it to fall apart way too soon.
"Well Amy is the Prince, she is head of all kindred in Nagasaki. Following her are the Primogen of the Clans. Then again there are those who work for her including myself and I am not above much, I kind of filled in the shoes of one I called a Mother. But, Yeah if you are looking for your Sire, Amy can help you. If they came through here, she'd totally know. At the very least we can find if your clan is here, I can't tell to much of a difference by looking yet. When you find them what do you plan to do?" That might be a strange and too personal of a question but she felt she might have a good reason for asking.

"Lets just say a part of me just wants answers and another part wishes her dead."
He and Chester both snickered a little because of the full board irony and truth in that statement.
"To be honest I'm not quite sure where I belong which is why I want to find her so bad. But at the same time, the way things happened... I dont know what I would do."
His tone became serious and almost distant as the memories filled his head.
"But I do know that reguardless I have to find her. I have to know what I am and where I belong."
He smiled and decided to change it up a little.
"But I guess that is what everyone wants, righ'? Peace of mind?"
Chester started laughing in his head.
<<Good luck with that one Gav. HAHA>>

Avice also chuckled a bit. There was so much understanding in that statement, she couldn't help but smile. After Mitru died his problems became hers to those who would spend the next few years finding and chasing her. Not to mention she was Caitiff so just another reason she was being hunted. She hated him, never got much of a chance to know him but she hated him for what he did. However suddenly, she realized that she might not have as much rage as she used to muster.
"That is a good question. As far as I know there was no reason why I was changed, Sire might not have known what he was doing in his frenzy. I never really wanted answers, just peace. However doesn't peace sound like such an illusion by this point? I mean, I know what peace feels like but I can hardly say I have found it. Or more like maybe I just found something new to complain about, I can be a downer sometimes." She chuckled. "But as far as Amy goes, She is a Prince over all in Nagasaki. With that in mind respect her as such, She has a few scary nicknames like the Vicereine of Violence. I am probably lucky enough not to find out why, if I did maybe I wouldn't be alive."

Gavin let out a laugh that even startled him a bit.
"Well doesnt that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."
He hadnt laughed in a while. Sure a chuckle here and there but a full out laugh.....
"Well I promise to be on my best behavior then." he said with a smile. "As for peace, I would say true peace wouldn't be possible to achieve. However we can experience the relief found when we complete a task, correct? In that sense, the bigger the task is to a person, the more relief to be felt to finally have an answer. And so while I may never find TRUE peace, I can at least start on the path to surviving my current situation and in doing so have one less thing to worry about."
Chester mused. <<So... The Vicereine of violence. You know Gav you REALLY can pick 'em. Are you sure you are not TRYING to get us killed and thats the peace you are looking for?>>
>>It will be fine Chez. We just have to be respectful, so all the more reason for you to be quiet when we talk with her.<<
He wanted to know more. He finally was getting some answers about this life. But unless he found Nora, he would always have questions.
"So how long have you been kindred Avice? You said you were the youngest and it made me curious."
