    Wrinkling her nose at the smell of fetid Vitae and the general carnage they'd brought with them; Martha is attentive to the young lady, Kacey, and her attire...and then the general situation.

    Her hand on her cane, she follows this unlikely trio...watchful in case Francesco tries anything dangerous.

    Emma stand the three of them in the emergency chemical exposure area and punches the button on the wall. All three of them are sprayed with cool water. Emma rubs her hands over Francesco and herself dislodging the blood and gore down the drain in the floor. "Kacey, If you want a warmer shower in a few minutes I can show you the locker room in the staff area in a few minutes. This is the best place to get the chunks off. Also, I have some clean clothes out back you can change into." Emma grinned, "They might not quite match your nail polish though."

    A faint non-committal nod preceded David's muted reply, “Perhaps.” The Mortician wasn't convinced that there was anything else within the Sarcophagus. The gleaming parts that constructed the trap, seemed to have been the whole of it. Still, David deferred to the Twilight Dragon's wisdom in the matter, despite his misgivings.

    David resumed his cooperative posture.

    Everything secured, the pair of Dragons quietly stepped out of the room, closing the door behind them and resuming their vigil for the Grand Wyrm.

    Senses enhanced by Auspex, Raluca listened patiently to the discussion upstairs. After a few moments it seemed whatever was going on, there was not an immediate threat, from the people themselves or following after them.

    "It appears they cleaning up after an altercation. Showers and changes of cloths. No doubt bloody one." Teo said quietly to his fellow Dragon. Still, no reason to get involved or go against the grand wyrm's instructions.

    "Fuck it," Kacey says with a shrug. The word isn't spat; but delivered with levity. As though she doesn't mind a bit. "This will do fine."

    She adds a weak smile and a wink, trying to put on a brave face for Emma despite the personally brutal evening she's just suffered. Undead monster she may technically be, but she just lost most of her friends in the Danse. Save for Martin, and he isn't here.

    After the young Kindred places her phone somewhere out of the way and steps into the jets, she begins to scrub away at her flesh with fingertips and the rough of her palms. Beside her, Francesco grimaces at the water. He seems to be silently protesting, due to the fact that he isn't quite as soiled as Emma and Kacey are. As stupid as he can be, it's absolutely miraculous that he doesn't make some passive-aggressive remark about him not flopping around in that monster's gory deposits like a psychopath.

    Because if he did make that remark, and Emma didn't kick him, Kacey probably would.

    Unsure of what to do, however, Francesco fumbles and makes a passing attempt at helping brush the bloody muck off of Emma as she is doing it for him. There is a groping moment where he seems to think there is a stubborn bit of something stuck on her rear, before he realizes what he is doing and recoils sheepishly.

    Kacey scoffs at this, rolls her eyes, and releases her ponytail. Shaking her hair loose, she carefully combs her fingers through to get the coagulated blood out of her hair. Even as clean as she can be, there is still rivulets of red-stained water seeping from her clothes. So in a matter of seconds, she's removed them. Except for the boots. She's still wearing the boots.

    That's a Daeva for you.

    Francesco Giovanni, apparently the little Gangrel boy that never grew up, just sort of stairs slack-jawed and points.

    When Francesco pays a bit too much attention to her ass she gives him a little shove. "Seriously, do you not care if I kick you in the balls?" She chuckles. As they are cleaning off she sees Kacey undress and looks at Francesco who is all but drooling. However, the Daeva had a good idea. Emma took off her clothes also and left them in a heap on the floor. Once that was done it took no time at all to finish showering off.

    Emma shut off the shower. Looking at Kacey she realized the horror of what happened would hit her hard soon. She needed to keep her distracted and in survival mode for a bit longer. "Can you keep a hold on him while I grab some scrubs from the supply closet? And Francesco, keep you mouth shut. As a matter of fact shut it now, you're starting to drool."

    Martha watches and studies the situation.

    Being invisible seemed somehow wrong now Kacey was wearing only her boots...excellent boots to be sure...

    Biting at her lower lip, she wrenched her attention from Kacey's legs and boots back to watching what Francesco is doing...or trying to assess what he may be thinking of doing.

    "Sorry," Francesco mumbles, clearly embarrassed. How is he supposed to know what to do? And to make things even more awkward, now Emma's naked, too. In a different time and place, this would be the best thing ever. He gulps once while watching Kacey dump her clothes in the nearest thing resembling a garbage recepticle. Clearly she'd rather walk out of here in the buff than put those things back on.

    Which means she must seriously like those boots.

    "Should I...?" Francesco stammers, with one hand tugging at the collar of his uniform in indication. He'd seen movies that started out something like this.

    "NO," Kacey cuts him off. "Hell no."

    To her credit, there is a chastising laugh behind the words. Free of gore and gory clothes, she seems to have recovered some of her verve. She swats Emma's booty as the Gangrel heads off. "He's not going anywhere. Take your time."

    As they are left alone, and Francesco thinks he is no longer outnumbered, the Taifa grows still. He watches Kacey's nude form, totally bereft of his formerly sheepish countenance.

    Emma's phone alerts them to a new message from Dillon, and the young Daeva looks away, focusing on the sound in curiosity.

    "I'm sorry," Francesco repeats, seemingly for no reason.

    Martha ( Chrisie ) roll Perception!

      Failed to beat Martha's eyes; Initiative 9
    Date Action Roll Result
    2014-04-28 08:28:27 Francesco rolls 1 die for initiative 4
    2014-04-28 08:19:20 Francesco rolls 5 to hide motives; Manipulation + Subterfuge -1 (untrained) (10 Again, WillPower) 6, 9, 8, 2, 8 3 successes

    Francesco EXPLODES.

    ...into action! Poor Kacey is caught there, looking the wrong way at the wrong time, and completely oblivious. In the blur of movement, perhaps she is beginning the whirring of wheels that tell her good sense that she'd better not take her eyes of the seemingly bumbling man. But it's to late for that.

    Fortunately, it's nearly precognitive how in tune with what's about to happen that Martha Villiers is. Or, if not what's about to happen, that something is indeed about to happen. Since he's unaware of the Mekhet's presence at all, it stands to reason that Francesco's intent is bared toward Kacey. Probably violence.

    This is a surprise round, in which only Martha and Francesco qualify to act. As soon as both actions resolve, Kacey can roll initiative to enter combat as normal on the Initiative Roster. Any action that makes a sound will allow Emma or David/Teo (who are at least one or two rooms over) to make a Perception check to hear what's going on. A success on that check will allow them to roll initiative and enter combat.

    Martha ( @Chrisie ) roll initiative and describe your action if it beats Francesco's initiative score of 9
