anajo skylark for Olivia Voldaren
[For the audition, read only the portions in quotations]
Progenitor of the Voldaren bloodline of vampires, Olivia is the quintessential queen of the vampires. Eccentric and cruel, she is fond of throwing lavish parties (wherein humans may be tortured and drained). She enjoys playing politics and although she hates Sorin, she is willing to hear him out to see what she can get out of the deal.
"The scion of Edgar Markov is not welcome here," she continued. Then she gestured toward no one in particular. "Show him out."
"If Markov Manor is in ruins, then look to Avacyn, your own creation. She's already destroyed Castle Falkenrath and scattered that bloodline. Your creature is on a rampage. Frankly, the fact that I didn't tear you to pieces myself when you sullied my house is a mark of my generosity."
"Why should I? Why I shouldn't I throw in with this...threat? Illuminate me, how do I benefit from—"
She stopped mid-sentence, and suddenly broke into a laugh that seemed at odds with her melodious voice. Her eyes flashed with a frenzied glee that Sorin recognized as a look meant for prey.
"Oh, Sorin," she said as regained her composure. "I will help you. But first you will help me."
