Minnie Chang
Poised like the crane; still, like the spider. This is Minnie Chang. Standing still, secure in the heart of her temporary lodging, reaching out with her rarified senses, she can feel as much as hear the altercation brewing in the room to her right. Who would have thought that this grim tenement, where humans were packed in like cattle, that such violence could occur?
Minnie can feel the buildings superstructure sing and groan with every movement. She hears the terrified murmuring of the residents as much as she feels the faint scufflings of their feet. The prey are nervous...
More specifically, she can sense that next door, where there is a profusion of blood, freshly spilled. The intervening wall cuts off most of the scent but the Mekhet can imagine the floor drawing the rich wine into itself (for the wood is dry, poorly treated and hungry). The victims are not all dead, not yet - she senses the vibrations of their feeble scraping and kicking. She hears their whimpering. More importantly, she feels their attackers move: uncertain, summoned to silence by the ominous racking of a gun. Two of them stand, dull and idle, against the wall (and she fancies if she were to press her face to the wooden partition that separates them, she could taste their sweat, such is her discipline fuelled acuity). Two are moving out onto the landing.
And beyond that, a Beast lurks.
The sound of gunfire is sudden and shocking, like an unexpected clap of the thunder, too close for comfort. A man, squealing like a pig, adds to the cacophony. And there is the smell...
Luna
Luna fires. The wall shakes, pierced by spray and shell. Incredibly the thin partition between the rooms holds! The man beyond (for only a man could shriek so!) hollers and howls. Luna cannot tell how effective her shot has been, but there is a satisfying thud, as though a heavy object has crashed to the floor.
And there is a sudden, foul, stench, seeping from the next room...

For want of a better term, Luna's gunshot signals the start of combat. If Minnie Chang wishes to join, she may do so. Currently, she is safety hidden away in her own room, which is to the left of the victim's and one over from Luna's, like this:
|Chang|Victims|Luna|Chinese Family|European Immigrants|Stairwell|
For reference: the location is a cheaply built tenement building made of wood. The walls and doors are the same: Durability 1 | Structure 6
Killers: Defence 2 | Armor 0
Luna - Killer2 - Killer5 - Killer4 - Killer3 (1L) - Killer 1
Killer Leader (Killer 3) is currently prone, after flinging himself to the floor when he took some pieces in the back.
