The Interview - Personal Hunter: the Vigil fic

[fiat_knox]

How hunters become a threat to ordinary folks ...

Mr Monroe: "So, tell me Mr Peters, why did you think your qualifications made you suitable for the job? I mean, I can see potential with your skills spread, but your resume just doesn't jump up and -"

Mr Peters: *leans back in his seat, steeples his hands* "Actually, Henry, I really only applied for the interview so I could talk to you. Personally."

Mr Monroe: "Wh- what?"

Mr Peters: "My colleagues informed me of an incident the other day. In the street, on your way home from work."

Mr Monroe: "What is this? Are you with the police or something?"

Mr Peters: "Or something. Let's leave it at that. Now, Mr Monroe, that vagrant you ran your car into -"

Mr Monroe: "Oh my God. He's fucking suing me, isn't he? I thought I hid the ... I thought he was ... Who the hell are you? Who are you with?" *jabs at intercom button* "Miranda? Please call the police. And my lawyer." *pause* "Miranda?"

Mr Peters: "She can't hear you right now, Mr Monroe. At this moment her deepest, darkest sexual fantasies are all playing out in her head, all at the same time. They are really quite amusing, I assure you. Especially the ones with your wife and your sister in law."

Mr Monroe: *sits back in stunned silence*

Mr Peters: "Now, our research has turned up something interesting about you, something other than the incident with the vagrant. You've got some rather fascinating contacts and friends in your social network. And, to cut a very long story short, we would like you to work for us, so we can make use of those contacts and friends, too."

Mr Monroe: "Preposterous!"

Mr Peters: "Either that, or only one of us leaves this room today alive." *pulls out a gun, points it at Mr Monroe's head* "I am so, so sorry."

Mr Monroe: "What? How - how? Doing what?"

Mr Peters: "Hmm?"

Mr Monroe: "What would I do if ... if I joined your, er, group? What ... what would I do?"

Mr Peters: *chuckles, puts gun away* "Why, clean house, my dear Mr Monroe. Same as when you hit that monster with your Subaru SUV." *leans forwards* "And it was a monster, Mr Monroe. Not a really big vagrant in a shaggy fur coat, as you've been telling yourself every night since."

Mr Monroe: "..."

Mr Peters: "Thought as much. You had no idea. You thought you had been losing your mind, hadn't you?"

Mr Monroe: *nods*

Mr Peters: "Well, there you go, Mr Monroe. The truth of the matter is, monsters are real, and you are not going nuts after all."

Mr Monroe: *sigh of relief*

Mr Peters: "As a matter of fact, you're as sane as I am."

Mr Monroe: *goes pale*

Mr Peters: "Let's wake up Miranda, and get her to bring in some coffee and biscuits. I've got contracts to sign. For the two of you. She was in the passenger seat of your car when the incident happened, after all. H'mm. Wonder what your wife would have to say about that ...?"

Writing Shadows

Also, if you're a member of that community, can you let the moderators know of my credentials vis a vis Hunter and the WoD?

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Hey - I'm the admin of writing_shadows. Just dropping you a line because I don't recognise your LJ name, I'm afraid, and was wanting real life name + cam number so I can add you to the comm.

Okay

[fiat-knox.livejournal.com]

I'm not a Cam member ... yet.

renfield286 is a good friend of mine, and he suggested that I approach you so I could occasionally drop fic pieces such as the above into your community, among other things.

I'm one of the freelancers who wrote for Hunter: the Vigil and a couple of other White Wolf books, including World of Darkness: Dogs of War that arrived on the bookshelves yesterday.

Re: Okay

[fiat-knox.livejournal.com]

And my name's Alex Greene.

Re: Okay

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Ah..OK. Cool. Thank you.

We're mostly Cam based, but I have no issues about adding you as well.

Re: Okay

[jesshartley.livejournal.com]

I'm a long time Cam member (WW2002023563) and totally vouch for Alex, both personality and credential wise. I had the pleasure of working with him on Hunter: the Vigil and some other White Wolf stuff, as well as being long-time LJ friends. :)

Re: Okay

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

He's already added! But thank you for the good character reference.

Re: Okay

[jesshartley.livejournal.com]

Happy to help!
What is the list, if you don't mind me asking? I just stumbled across it in Alex's comments.

Re: Okay

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Not a list. I run an LJ community called writing_shadows. It's the NuWoD successor to shadow_writers which was the OldWoD Camarilla writing community. It's for bits of fic, character backgrounds, write ups of scenes etc - basically - fiction inspired by the current Camarilla chronicle. Both comms have been UK based, but we've always had a smattering of US posters too.

shadow_writers wasn't my creation, but I was quite an active poster, and now it actually holds a lot of my best memories of the old game. It rather died off in NuWoD tho, as both the mods and quite a few of the more prolific posters left the society, and so it was deciding to just let it close down, and I started the NuWoD place.

Feel free to go and browse.
