SCIU....
“SCIU... yes, I... I’ve heard of them.”
He walked over closer, taking in the sight before him as he tried to process this, absently wondering if he should page Helen like.... immediately. He was too stunned right now to make a coherent choice.
“Abnormal.” Softly, almost an afterthought as Dane lamented the change, though in truth wasn’t being a vampire better than being dead? He’d always thought so.
“They’ve made you into an abnormal. Not a monster. A vampire, to be more precise...
:And they’ve unlocked who you truly are. Who we truly are.”
vampirissanguine:
“… Dane.”
The name felt ridiculous to even mutter. His brother had been dead for a century and a half. How.. was this possible? Was he caught in some sort of lucid dream?
“…. how ….” it was all he could even form in his mind.
“It’s a long story. Have you ever heard of SCIU, Nikola? I figured it must be some kind of…organisation. That’s who they said they were when I woke up,” Dane muttered, absent-minded, his words strung loosely together.
He looked down at his hands. “They made me into a monster.”

@vampirissanguine
He’d found out about the Sanctuary the hard way - he’d almost gotten himself scrapped to death when he tried to feed on an abnormal in an alleyway in Old City. Being a vampire hadn’t sat well with Dane, and it was a last resort. He hadn’t meant to hurt anyone. He was just hungry.
So. Hungry.
The abnormal had given him a stern slap up the head and directions to the Sanctuary. They’d welcomed him in - a man named William and another, who went by Henry - and left him sat in the infirmary when something else called them away.

He was getting frustrated.  Frustrated and bored, frankly, and this was never a good combination for Nikola in the lab ... or anywhere.
Reaching for the bottle of wine to pour some more into his glass, he paused with a slightly exasperated sigh when he realized it was empty. Well, never mind. He would get some on the way back from his next task. A computer in the med ward was malfunctioning and Wolfboy was away with Declan and Ericka and some of the other UK team, which led to Helen adding the dullest of repairs to Nikola’s schedule for the day.
But nothing could have prepared him for the sight he found upon entering the infirmary. It had been 149 years, and they’d been only 5 and 12 at the time...  but even the grown vampire’s face was one he’d never, ever forgotten.
He paused, breath caught as he stared in disbelief for a moment. It was rare that something truly and thoroughly shocked Nikola, but this moment was definitely up there.
“what in the world....”

Of course Umi’s demand went unheard and unanswered at the other side of the rift gate.  The connection between their memories sourced purely from the flowers and his electromagnetism that fueled their effects.
``Helen... `` He spoke in a hushed tone as the very .. impossibly.. aged mirage of his oldest and dearest friend appeared before him.  Despite his confusion, there was somehow no doubt that this was Helen, somehow, and that observation was confirmed by the impression of her true image fading into partial perception a moment later. ``... my god... what’s happened to you? ``
What had happened, because somehow it wasn’t only her appearance that had changed.  Some sort of unexplained hesitance overtook his impressions as he stared at the warped image of another of the Five.  An anxious mistrust of her very nature flooded his heart even as his mind warred reason against it.
No, no.. enough of this.  The flower was abandoned, but something led him next to rainflower.
NIK TO UMI: Your intentions were good.  At least you’ll keep telling yourself that.  They see it differently; they always do.  You are selfish, reckless, impulsive, arrogant.  But all you wanted was to bring about a change for the better; it’s all you ever *really* wanted.  That and to shed the profound loneliness of being the .. only … one … left.  Of course now that is no longer a factor.  You’ve returned your lonesomeness in exchange for mortality, and it’s not looking much better.  Your failsafe backfired, and the one piece of your identity you’ve held on to these last sixty-plus years has been robbed from you.  She is the last; and despite her efforts, nothing can lift your spirits tonight.  To happier times; to those halcyon days of bloodlust now gone, plus you’ve gotta admit vampires are just plain cool.  Here’s to the glorious vampire race: once mighty, now extinct.

He picked up the second flower and almost immediately felt the charge of electricity hit him from nowhere.  He was used to electricity, thrived on it even, but this was nothing in his control and it was far, far from pleasant.  The malevolent voices that rang out in his head took a moment to take hold of any sort of understanding, but after a few seconds he recognized German, a language he had known but hadn’t used in decades.
This is MINE.. what was whose?  Let’s give you balance... Who was this and balance to what?  He barely had time to question it before the charge struck him harder and electricity or not, it slammed him hard and sent him to the floor on his knees, as pain worse than any h could describe briefly but blindingly took hold.
SCIU had implanted a nanite at the base of his brain stem which had ultimately caused him seasons of significant pain and aggravation til Helen got to the root of it; even now it was beyond the capabilities of even his vampiric healing to completely do away with the damage that had been done.  That seemed like a flea bite compared to the memory Umi’s flower forced on him.
There was the intense pressure that made SCIU’s antics seem minuscule by comparison, then utter silence that left him stunned until he saw the blood and flesh.. pain still coursing his back as blue overtook his vision, followed by black.
Umi’s related memory was perhaps less physically traumatic, but life-altering nevertheless.  There would be another, because vampires simply are difficult to knock out for very long.. and once he woke up, he stupidly touched another flower as he tried to piece together whatever had just happened; this time, lavender.
NIK TO UMI: Oh, this isn’t the first time you’ve done something reckless and foolish.  Last time, it cost you your identity.Now it’s going to cost you your life, you’re pretty sure of it.  You’re in some sort of old and admittedly fascinating chamber, but there is a searing pain and you look to see a hole has been burned through your torso by an overhead laser.  Your vital organs should be on the floor right now, but they’re not ... Though your body is going into shock; if you don’t stay alert you will die.  The irony is the one person you trust with your very life is right at your side and there is nothing she can do. Until a random and unexpected stroke of luck might just give you a chance at survival.. but can she access it in time? You are fading away by the second.

Almost as soon as he picked up the flower, Nikola found himself shoved forward by an unseen and irresistable force.
Whatever pushed him, he fell and when he moved to get up, still utterly confused b the entire ordeal, he found himself staring up at a strangely familiar phenomenon.  The appearance of a man out of seemingly thinair, but this face itself was not familiar.
I’m guessing that one of you must be a blood relative of Nigel Griffin, otherwise why would you have been brought along..? I hope you’re up to the task.
Could Griffin have left other progeny besides Anna and subsequently, Clara? Both were dead now, but was it possible that other descendants still lived?
The feelings that flooded him at the idea of encountering this man, however, were not as familiar.  Why did he suddenly feel embarrasesed, even ashamed?  These were not emotions he was all that accustomed to at all, really.
Setting the flower down, the images disappeared immediately... Baffled, what did the genius vampire do but pick up another flower? This time, asphodel.
NIK TO UMI: Whatever it is that you notice first about this memory, something about it is old.  very old.  A very formal and old setting somewhere far away, in both time and space.  You are a part of something much bigger than yourself and it is about to come to fruition -- something you have been working toward for quite some time.  This will be a defining moment in your life, perhaps THE defining moment in your life; nothing will ever be the same

The main lab of the New Praxis Sanctuary was where the rift gate opened... and where a certain vampire was very confused when he entered and found various flowers scattered all around.
``...who.. why.. `` He made a slight tsk sound and shook his head, walking over to get a closer look at the flowers and maybe a clue as to their origin. Walking over, he picked up a peony.  What he didn’t realize that the flower contained levels of a magic that interacted with his electromagnetism, activating and transferring the memory connected to it to him, even while returning one in like manner to the originator.
UMI TO NIK [By Umi Mun]: Shock overcame you as the top of your hips lock, sending you flying forward to land face first square to land into what should have been the hard forest floor. However your entire face landed squarely into the warmth of human flesh. The smell of man fills your nose was enough to push backward as horror replaced your shock. Landing on your backside, you look at the empty space only to find a human face reveal itself and speak to you leaving you in shame and embarrassment.
NIK TO UMI [By Nik mun]: You see yourself in an indescribably huge, dimly-lit underground labyrinth.  Far, far away from anything you’ve ever known and there is simply the feeling in the air of being here for a matter of the most grave magnitude.  There are others here with you, sharing in the common goal that seems to have almost universal urgency … though you can’t see them, the presence of one is near you, the only one you trust or care for at all, not that you feel comfortable to admit it; they don’t trust you. Oh and you’ve definitely earned that doubt.  They all have their tasks to fulfill, and you honestly doubt all but the one standing by your side.  You’ve explored this before and frankly you doubt yourself.  Your task is dangerous, potentially life-threatening, but it’s not like any of you will survive failure.

The swirling mass of energy had brought Umi so many guests. The energy itself was slightly of interest to the woman as she sat down before it. A bundle of freshly harvested flowers was rested onto her lap from her arms. It was under her assumption that it would be safe to start tossing each flower into the portal as a way of testing its abilities. 
Such a carefree action was also incredibly careless. These flowers had been formed by the maiden herself in her vast nightly duties of purging unwanted emotions from her being. Every emotion she gave up to the Earth form a unique flower, composed of that memory and feeling. It was something that only an Earth spirit, or god, or energy reader would ever have trouble with and so far, all the people who came through this portal would pose no such threat.. right? These were just ordinary flowers to most beings.
Fingers hoisted up one of the many to be flung through the gateway and Umi sighed as she watched it disappear to the place.. what had Helen called it? The Sanctuary? Peonies, Lavender, Asphodel, Rainflower, Delphinium, and Cypress flowers rained down and landed on the other side. Wherever this led to, at least it would smell nice.

Energetic Light Paintings Highlight Nature’s Innate Beauty
Photographer Vitor Schietti has a growing collection of impermanent visions of illuminated landscapes. Using long exposure shots, the Brazilian artist produces dynamic light paintings that capture natural elements in both urban and rural settings. The images he creates are alive with movement, as the lights appear to rain down from the trees and flow with the water. Schietti’s shots accentuate the natural beauty that is all around us. (Source: My Modern Met)

“Don’t you dare close your eyes.”
``Focus on the target or there is no point to this. `` Nikola was getting frustrated with her refusal to use the weapon properly to help test it.
“I can’t! This stupid thing doesn’t even work BIG SHOCK!”
He growled a bit at that. ``Need I remind you all the problems everyone else had with the multiverse gun somehow I never had any issues? But this is never gonna work if you won’t even keep your damn eyes on the target and even try! ``

“I won’t let you be on your own, not when you’re like this.”
It had been a week, and frankly for all her protests that she wanted to be left alone, he knew better.  Freya, Nathan and Alistair had finally agreed to go with Trick and Magnus into the city.. just a quick redlister meetup, but a distraction, a task.
If her children weren’t with her, she didn’t want anyone … and he knew that, even understood it to an extent.  But it didn’t mean he would -- or should -- listen.
“Nikola, please..” She started to protest as he moved to cross the room again toward where she was sitting on a couch in the weapons lab of the New Praxis Sanctuary.
``Shh.. don’t even try it. `` He sat down next to her, offering over one of the wine glasses he’d brought with him. ``I’m not going anywhere. There is no way you should be alone right now. ``

“She was there just a second ago! Did she get left behind?”
Tess paused, looking around when she realized three had just become two.  Somewhere back in the tunnel, Ashley had disappeared.  She turned quickly toward Anni again.
“Ash was with us.. where did she go?” She sighed, starting back toward the direction they had just come from. SCIU, as usual, was following them and they weren’t quite past the unofficial checkpoint the agents wouldn’t cross into Hollow Earth.
``Bloody hell … I really had hoped we wouldn’t have to deal with them today but we might not have a choice now.. ``

OC Meme: Nik
1. A little-known talent of your OC?
He can write. And not just in a professional/guildy sense. Like he actually writes but nobody really knows about it except maybe Beau, I’m not even sure she really knows.
2. What trait does your OC like best about themself? (Eyes, guitar skills, random bird facts, etc)
Well it’s Nik so he might say anything here, but honestly, he means it when he says he just really likes being a vampire.
5. Your OC’s worst habit?
Where to begin.. attention span of a goldfish, mentally brilliant but emotionally a child? Cocky arrogant brat who prefers to let people think he’s an asshole than to actually let them in to see he’s loyal as hell and really not a bad guy?
9. What chore does your OC hate the most?
Virtually anything that doesn’t involve the lab, wine, or Beau.
12. Would your OC play by the rules in a fight or take cheap shots?
He’d just rip someone up with his vampire talons and ask questions later.
15. Something that grosses your OC out?
Cheesecake. Coffee. Beer. Most vegetables. Most sweets. Some types of meat.
18. Something that makes your OC laugh without fail?
Banter with Anni or Helen.
19. Something that makes your OC cry without fail?
Yeah like he’d ever let on.
20. A obscure/ridiculous fear your OC has?
Horses. Plain and simple. Long story, happened over 150 years ago, but he’s never gotten over that fear despite his love of most other animals both regular and abnormal.
23. What is your OC’s first memory?
Walking in the woods with his father and brother in Croatia when he was four, so 1860.
33. A song that reminds you of your OC?
Usually on his pages and stuff I use “Runnin’ “ by Adam Lambert
35. What is your OC’s favorite quote?
``one must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.``
41. Does your OC like/make puns?
Umm... yeah.  Just... yes.
48. Would society call your OC a good guy or a bad guy? What would they say they are?
The quote about the canon version from the Sanctuary extras from one of the producers was perfect for him too. “He’s not really a bad guy.. but he’s really not a pure-heart good guy.”  He just does what he does and if he’s on your side he’s loyal as hell but if you piss him off or get in his way he’ll do whatever he has to to get rid of you.
49. Your OC’s most prized possession?
Any of a few things in a secret, locked box up on the top shelf in his office. Among the items inside are his father’s pocket watch and his brother’s knife.
50. What is your OC’s happy place?
Sanguine tavern.  The sunflower field on his and Beau’s property.  The Sanctuary wine cellar... the Doll bar when Trick Sr lets him get into the dwarven whiskey.. XD
