The meeting, this time, had been set in a private room at The Asylum. Sex paraphernalia dotted the walls, and the lighting was onerously dim, perhaps to create a 'suggestive' atmosphere, but it would suit her purposes. It was a controlled space, after all, and the Reeve seriously doubted that Cozette would let anything but the arcane slip past her notice. And, for that, she would have a room full of Kindred.

Not a perfect solution, unfortunately, but one had to work with what they had. And, hopefully, that would soon include a large amount of high explosives. So few problems could not be solved, after all, with high explosives. If nothing else, that was what the World Wars had taught her...

The last meeting was...informative to say the least. Brittany had jumped headfirst into the deep end. The question hanging in the air for her was whether she'd swim or drown.

She headed to the location she was directed to and was quite surprised. Asylum. Not exactly what she expected for a meeting place but she was no prude. She could look past things that made one uncomfortable. Instead of dwelling she made her way to the meeting place and entered, seeing the Reeve.

"Good evening Reeve," she said with a slight bow of her head to show deference. It was just the two of them, and they had come to speak of Kindred matters so she imagined it was safe to use titles. She did want to show the woman the respect she deserved.

Having just finished with a client, Katya takes time to clean up her station, throwing all her gear in her bag and storing it in a locker. Her flesh is already colored by the powers of the blood running in her. She enters teh green room, stopping once the presence of Josephine and Brittany set off her Demon, her fists clenching as her head rolls slightly, neck muscles tensing as she fights back from showing these trespassers a lesson in entering her sacred ground. THere was a reason she left her whips in the bag. Katya is wearing tight leather pants, black combat boots and a white long sleeve shirt tucked under a leather corset. Her hands are covered by fingerless gloves and her hair is pinned up in a bun. Offering a nod to Josephine first she says, "Reeve Sterling, it's nice to see you in my neck of the woods." before turning to Brittany to add, "You as well Brittany. Welcome to the Asylum."

Their last meeting had been eye opening and ended rather uneventfully. Well, she thinks it did. What amazed her was how little they actually knew about what was going on. Was Coutori being honest, was she leading them into a trap? Hopefully their next move would put an end to what had been going on, and not an end to them.

Heading to Asylum, as directed, she entered the room, looking to who was already there. Seemed she was kinda early. Well, that was a good thing right? Her Beast took notice immediately to its equal, and wanted to show it was stronger and rip the Reeve limb from limb.

Looking to Josephine, she bows her head, “Reeve.” She says with respect. It paid to know your place and show respect to those in higher stations.

Brittany’s Beast got a reaction as well. Her own wanted to shed the blood of the weaker, bathe in the blood that would flow. “Brittany.”

And then there was Katya, who looked badass as usual. And her Beast again wanted to tear apart the weaker one. “Senechal.” Says the Savage with respect and a bow of the head.[

A little after the tattooed Savage Whip, the Shadow Priscus arrives. Skepticism hangs heavily in David's thoughts, ever since he entered the Asylum's hallowed halls using back doors and service hallways. He comes armed with Blueprints, still within the tubes that they came in; a little bit more worn than when it was rescued from its tomb.

The group might have forgotten about it, but David has not.

What role does a bowling alley and skate-park play? How does that interplay with a school at Woodside used as a refuge? Obviously, Cotouri didn't bring up either location when prodded, but they are still important.

The fact the CHIPs location yielded someone as important as Straiphen, himself, says as much.

Crossing the threshold, David's beast snaps its attention towards weak beasts around it. Every single one of them like mewling babes pretending to be adults, pretending at being predators. The rising tide of red-hate burns through David's veins and his jaw works, temple undulating, as the only outward sign of David clamping down upon himself and controlling a Beast that wants to paint the walls gray with ash.

With deliberate, delicate motions David sets the Blueprints near to his feet and he offers fastidious bows. “Reeve.” A pause as he turns to look towards Katya, “Seneschal. Whip. Ma'am.”

Heh a sex ehhh fetish club? Ya that's the right word. With a straight face Garrick makes his way to the meeting space. Sex and Food, has to be a joke. The Reeve doesn't seem like a joker though, unless this is a test.

Entering the back room Garrick freezes as the other monsters push his own to attack and flee. A hand slowly clenches as the monster inside is pushed back down. Maybe one day letting it out will be ok. "Reeve" Garrick bows to the appointed law keeper of the domain. Then bows as he addresses the others in the room. "Seneschal, Priscus, Whip, Brittany"

Time to see if all those explosives came through and how scared to be of the people using them. At least the jet fuel wasn't there last time.

"Good evening, all," the Reeve replied, bowing her head in brief acknowledgement of her fellow kindred. "Please, let us begin. I do believe that we have waited long enough, and time is fleeting, no matter that our flesh does not feel its touch. Though, I will admit, it shall be a brief meeting if we are not able to ascertain whether or not we have access to explosives, for my stratagem's hinge upon them. Regardless, I would hear your thoughts.

"My plan is simple. It is this: I shall contact von Schusten and lure him to a meeting, pretending to turn traitor, playing off of his pride, and offering the return of Coutori as incentive added incentive. The meeting itself shall be held somewhere contained, and deserted. Perhaps Straiphen's now empty haven. Perhaps a different location. Regardless, at this location I shall attempt to draw more information about Brady and Rhayna from him, and at the conclusion of the meeting, whether that is through his violence, or his departure, we destroy him with the explosives. Explosives which one of you will detonate remotely, thus giving him no warning and no chance to flee. Surveillance equipment will allow you to monitor the meeting, as well as detect him should he arrive with his presence cloaked.

"Now there you have it," the Reeve concluded. "Make it better."

Equipment: Reinforced Clothing, Athletic Shoes, Lockpicks, Full-Sized Van

Eventually Konrad does show up to The Asylum BDSM club. Being as busy as he is, making time for all these meetings has become difficult. He hardly had any time to gather info on the Reeve's request. The Savage comes wearing his long leather jacket, running shoes, and black jeans and a black t-shirt with a Misfits logo peeking out from beneath the leather.

His arrival is marked by the slow sound of footsteps approaching the private meeting room. A knock follows before Konrad lets himself in. It's clear the meeting is already underway, so he remains silent and leans against a wall, folding his arms in front of him. His Beast knows theirs, at least the ones it can sense. But it still thirsts for their destruction nonetheless.

Assuming he hears the last bit from the Reeve he says, "Yeeah...about that. Not sure how soon you're expecting these explosives, but there are some complications."

Sorry for the delay. Threads...continuity...stuff

Respect for the Reeve did not stop the Rage, and with each Kindred that entered her Rage only grew. The bloodlust to turn her attention away from Brady and onto this group was incredibly strong and hard to resist. Maybe that's how betrayal started for Kindred, by connecting too strongly with the Rage.

Bowing her head in respect to each who entered she continued to push down the Rage. Push down and resist its desired advances. She would endure the struggle.

At the end of introductions and the end of Sterling's explanation Brittany spoke out, "excuse me Reeve, question. Where are you during this explosion? If I'm understanding it right, and I may not be, you find out the location of the meeting, bombs and cameras are set, and you meet him to talk slash interrogate slash 'turn traitor,'" adding air quotations to the last bit, "but when would the bombs go off? I mean say he goes to leave first then you're left in the room with the explosives, unless of course the explosives line the entrance to the room, but then you'd still be pretty close to the explosion. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding."

She cleared her throat before continuing. "Also, what if he strongly suggests a location we can't prepare beforehand? Couldn't we instead select a location beforehand, like Straiphen's empty haven, set it up with camera's and explosives, maybe even leave Cotouri there as bait and then lure von Schusten there for some other reason? I'm obviously new and don't know all the players or their motivations, but I would imagine that you offering to turn traitor would raise all kinds of red flags. He'd probably be extra on guard and that would make a surprise even harder to stop. Another idea is Cotouri mentioned he went to the Woodside school when he got hurt. That may be a haven. We could try and lure him out with Cotouri, or possibly trying to invoke rage by slighting his pride, attacking his claim as Reeve, then a secondary team rigs explosives and cameras at Woodside and waits for him to return? Just throwing out ideas Reeve," she added respectfully with a bow of her head. She may have been overstepping, but she was invited to this meeting just like the rest of them and she wasn't going to just sit around like a fern.

**Twist** · Mar 4th, 2016 10:04 AM

Slipping through the bondage club, Twist worked her way toward where the meeting was being held. If she was a little late... well, there had been pretty distractions along the way. However, despite this blase attitude, she knew better than to walk in without a concern. So instead she paused, taking the moment to reinforce her grasp upon her Beast before stepping into the room to join the small gathering. And it was good she did as it surged up with vehemence, though as usual- she won the struggle.

Making the appropriate gestures of greeting without vocalizing as to not interrupt, Twist caught the tail end of the conversation. Well, mostly just Brittany's questions and counter ideas, and she raised an eyebrow and looked to Josephine.

"Aside from that, while highly effective, explosives are large and somewhat uncontrollable... what is to say that they will even want Coutori back? Is she truly to be our bargaining chip?" Maybe she had missed something, but from the way she recalled the conversation with Coutori their foe seemed only to use her as a baseless worker. Provide blood so they don't have to. Clear out the deadly mandragora so they don't have to. Take or abuse her... herd? as they wanted. What was she to them but a base being below them who had gotten caught. If anything, they would take her back just to end her requiem for good.
