Amadeus & Ariel (Open to Hounds)
Even with the ability to teleport, Amadeus still arrived too late. He was just glad he had chosen to come in down the street and not in or next to the Blue Velvet. The flames were already consuming the building and while he was currently fireproof thanks to blood magic, Ariel was most certainly not. Normally just appearing on the street like this would be a Masquerade violation but everyone was watching the fire. That and they were going to have to deal with the onlookers anyway. And the firemen. And the none Kindred connected kine who had so far made it out of the building.
It was in short not only chaos but a complete and utter cluster fuck.
Since no one was going to be able to leave the area and until things were dealt with, Amadeus pulled up a barrier around the block. One could get in, but no one was getting out of it until it was brought down. It was a lot of power—a lot of usage of blood—for one Tremere. If that was all he planned on doing this night, holding it would not be a problem for Amadeus, but he couldn't stand here and do that. Not when he needed to get inside. For now, he had it but sooner or later he'd need help.
Amadeus shrugged out of his coat and handed it to Ariel so that it wouldn't get caught on something and pin him down once he went in. He even rolled up his shirt sleeves. Then he was taking out his phone and handing that to Ariel as well. "Get a hold of Mab. Let her I need her help." It wasn't just a matter of not wanting to deal with Sethius. Chances were before this was over they'd need to call in several members of the clan to clean up anyway. It was more of a matter of Mab being familiar with his magic and able to take over the barrier.
"Get a hold of Micah as well. Tell him I need Ventrue on the ground as crowd control. MIB wipes all around." As the new Ventrue Primogen it was his responsibility to deal with overseeing that and at least Amadeus knew it would get done. Even if he had a Ventrue Hound, it was still going to take more than one to wipe this many people. "Get ahold of the other Hounds if they don't show up soon. And Ariel?"
Amadeus reached out and pulled him in for a brief kiss. "For luck. I'll be back." Because I love you seemed too final and he indeed planned on being back. In no way was Amadeus Lazarus one who'd self sacrifice himself in this situation. He'd pull back once he knew there was nothing else to be done.
With that, he turned and walked into the burning building.
