[West]

Damage for Vampires carry over from Scene to Scene until Vitae is spent to repair the damage. New Scene =/= new health track.

KM Realty is another shadow from the past.

The "office" is a small Victorian home -- the sort David might feel an affinity for, evoking thoughts of various Dragon Chapter Houses.

The light are out, and no one is home.

Whatever was once here, provided for it's maintenance. There are no eviction notices or taxes-in-arrears letters littering the doorway, and the lawn is well maintained albeit a bit spartan. Still, there are signs of neglect. Mud dobbers nests here and there, spider webs, and that strange sensation of simple... emptiness. Abandonment.

On one side of the house, a window is covered with a black trash-bag.

OOC

Casitive , you can redact the Cloak dropping/Stranger if you'd like since I failed to set the Scene and make it obvious that it was unoccupied.

[Twist]

She was late, but if it phased her, it wasn't apparent in the steady way she approached the location. She was dressed to match the night, shades of a deep dark gray nearly black when it wasn't just straight black. Her hair was pulled back and braided, for once no strands free to curl about her face. Not that this made her expressions any easier to read of course.

Just as the fact that her gloved hands were empty didn't mean she was armed well enough to put many on edge.

Not wanting to yet startle those who may already be gathered, she let the heel of her boots scuff slightly when she came close enough.

Equipment: Full-sized Van, Athletic Shoes, Lockpicks(Building), Electronics Toolkit, Reverse Peephole, Shovel, Bowie Knife, Prybar, kitchen sink

A white Dodge Sprinter makes its way down the street towards the address. Its headlights cause shadows to stretch across the pavement as it nears and then parks at the edge of the property. The engine silences and the lights go out. A moment passes while the driver seems to be gathering some things from his windowless cargo area.

Konrad emerges from the vehicle, looking nondescript in a t-shirt, jeans, and light jacket. On his back is strapped a sheathed bowie knife. In his jacket pocket is the lockpicks, and in another is a reverse peephole. On his feet a pair of comfortable looking sneakers. In one gloved hand is what appears to be a toolkit, while the other holds a prybar. The shovel he leaves in the van. He shuts the door of his vehicle and locks it, placing the keys in his jeans pocket.

He looks around the area before seeing the homeless vagrant and seductive woman keeping strange company in the night. Approaching, he recognizes them to be the Mekhet Priscus and Alder Twist. He nods to each of them. "Evenin'," he says in a low easy-going tone. From Katya's explanation, he figures he'd been expected. Fortunately for him the masked Beasts give his no alarm, not that he underestimates these known predators.

[Twist]

Seeing the vagrant turn to her, Twist hesitates for a fraction of a heartbeat... or what would be if she still had one. As he dips his head, her eyes narrow at the man in easily identified suspicion.

As he speaks, saying names of importance, her eyes narrow further and she goes so far as to take a step backwards as she re-evaluates the situation. David hadn't mentioned that there would be another... but then again, that didn't mean he couldn't have invited another. She didn't sense any sort of Beast from him, which meant he either had abilities or was a ghoul that she didn't know.

Her stance not relaxing she is about to demand to know who he is before she goes anywhere with him when she hears the sound of the vehicle door closing. Turning just enough to keep the vagrant in eye sight she notes the approach of Konrad.

One mark in favor of the man being someone in the know.
One mark in favor of him being doubly dangerous now.

Without thinking, she flexed her fingers shifting her weight slightly to prepare and keeps her eyes on the unknown man.

"Good evening," she says simply to Konrad. She shouldn't jump to conclusions, after all... if David had called for Konrad it was fully possible he had called this man as well. Though if that was the case... where was David?
