    The Prince's Ghoul
    The Prince's Ghoul
    This Mortal Coil





    At the closing of the Invictus meeting, Asa's ghoul Nika Crassus provided August Galloway and Jennifer Hazelton with the contact information for Cozette Muriel. After a brief telephone exchange, the ghoul politely suggested that the two Kindred meet her at Club Ember.

    Cozette waits patiently in the entry to the club, apparently having come straight from her own place of business The Asylum. The ghoul is dressed in a black tuxedo, cap, and mask. She looks as if she's stepped out of a masquerade ball for chauffeurs. By the cut and material of the tuxedo, though, very well paid chauffeurs.

    She contemplates reaching out to Eve Masters, but decides not to, not knowing how long she'll have to wait for the two Kindred.

    Not much time passes before the bouncers notify Eve and she steps down from her office on the upper floor. Tonight the Ghoul is wearing a bright-blue dress and high heels that make her look positively like a princess straight out of a fairy-tale. She goes into the foyer and greets the other Ghoul:

    "Hi, Cozette. How are things?"

    She throws a brief glance around the room, making sure that everything is in order before the Prince's Ghoul. The foyer is empty except for the coat clerk who looks a bit sleepy on the job. It can be immediately seen why people beat their heads against the door to get into this place. Even the entrance room looks more like an art installation than a strip-club: the room is lit with a mixture of colored neon tubes, running along the walls, and bright lamps hanging from the ceiling. The coat-clerk's counter has several motorcycle models on it that look rather expensive, and the coat-hanger area is filled... with coats. Like ones you typically see bankers and officials wear. Rhythmic music can be heard from the main floor, just beyond the metal detectors stationed near the exit from the foyer.

    Jennifer enters after the conversation at the Lily has wrapped up. Jennifer greets politely, her eyes traveling over Cozette's outfit for a moment.


    "Hello, ladies. How are you this evening?" Jennifer's voice is cooperating at the moment, sounding like a perfectly average American woman. "I see that I precede Mr. Galloway."

    Cozette had been casually studying the foyer, and the decorations. The coat clerk, she gave a slight nod and even slighter shake of her head to: she'd be keeping hers. As Eve appeared, she turned, keeping her back to the clerk.

    "Good evening,"
    she answered with a soft smile. With the mask on, it was easy to trace her eyes' movements as they briefly studied the other woman.

    "Tout vais bien. They are well, thank you for asking. I hope the same can be said for you."

    Anyone that had spent any time in proximity with Asa Clarke would recognize the cadence and semi-formality of her speech. Whether she had learned it from him, or he from her... or both from another person, only they knew. Her speech has the hint of an accent, but is soft to the point of being easily missed. In fact, if not for her physical attractiveness, the woman would be entirely forgettable.

    When Jennifer enters, Cozette nods, standing slightly straighter and perfectly still as the Kindred looks at her outfit.

    "I am well, thank you for asking. I hope the same can be said for you."


    To Eve, it might have sounded a perfect echo save for the first two words. She could easily infer that would be the same answer the ghoul would give any within their circle. Polite, noncommittal, and well wishes without any inquiry which some might consider intrusive.

    "I believe you are correct,"
    Cozette continued. "I did not observe his arrival."

    Her eyes moved towards the club proper, and then to Eve in a silent question ( @Matamune ).

    August Galloway had arrived a little bit after things had already kicked off. The Southern Politico was clearly in good spirits after the last meeting, his petition, he felt, had gone well. Now to prove his worth. August was most curious what this meeting would entail, and truly wasn't the biggest fan of shuffling about place to place, but as he entered all reservations had left him. The club itself, even in the foryer was decorated in good taste, and he was clearly appreciative of things as he looked about before spotting Madame Notary Hazelton amongst two other unfamiliar faces.... Ah the welcoming comittee...

    As he approached, he stoped at a reasonably polite distance, mindful of personal space but close enough to not have to speak louder than conversationally "Good evening everying. I hope you're all very well." he said giving an easy grin.

    Eve smiles as she watches both Kindred arrive. By now it's pure instinct to be polite and courteous around those who are helping her Master in some way. And it's really hard not to smile at August with his gentlemanly exterior:

    "My name is Eve Masters and I manage Club Ember most nights. Please, come in", - she gestures for them to go into the hall, - "I would like to remind you that the Club is a protected area and bad manners aren't welcome here", - Eve turns to Cozette, - "Do you need a room? You can use a private booth on either floor or one of the empty employee rooms if you wish."

    She stops at the metal detectors leading to the club proper, letting everyone who wishes so to leave their coats with the clerk.

    Cozette watched August's entry, and nodded politely at his words. Although completely deferential in her demeanor, the others to who she had spoken to might infer the silence as a subtle rebuke at August's tardiness.

    If ghouls rebuked Kindred, that is.

    "Privacy, yes," she answered Eve. "And please join us."

    Cozette waits for the Kindred to proceed first.

    "Wonderful to meet you Miss Masters."August moved forward at the other previously more silent womans beckoning, but only to the metal detector before waving an arm through and making a slight bow toward the Madame Notary. "Ladies first." he said with a smile, as he removed his ring and loose change before waiting on the others to step through the security device.

    Jennifer nodded quietly as Mr. Galloway made his entrance. Warm brown eyes met him for a moment before speaking.
    "I am most curious what this is about," She stated as she strode forward into the private room. "- enlighten us, won't you?" She requested. Coat is left with the clerk and she strides through the machine first.
