(The Eye) The Crocker Art Benefit

Jan 25th, 2019 01:18 AM

It was the talk of the town, the gala benefit for the Crocker Art Museum. Filled to the brim with socialites, local luminaries of art and academia, donors and dignitaries, the grand spaces of the museum were bustling with opportunity. If you wanted to meet someone important? That could happen here. Study some grand new exhibit? Why, yes, that was available too. Rub elbows and schmooze? It was all happening here, in a swirl of handsome suits and lovely dresses to the tunes crooned by a semi-famous jazz singer and part of a local orchestra.

Fortunately for the Kindred, Thomas Boyle had their in. Tickets provided by his friend Mr. Gomez, along with an introduction to the curator, Alice Harrison? What a great opportunity, for those who had an interest in art history...

...of course, they musn't lose sight of their real goal.

The Eye. It was here, somewhere, a part of a Changing Exhibit. And they had their in, their way forward. You see, for a guy making twenty five grand a year at a shitty job, leaving his uniform and his electronic pass card somewhere totally by accident was remarkably easy when he was offered ten grand in cash. Was it a great idea on his part to accept such a bribe, no questions asked? Hell, no. He'd be at huge risk of going to prison as an accomplice for the theft, but ten grand in cash? That was money now, and he had no idea what was going to happen...

One uniform. One pass. Four tickets. The Kindred met before to confirm their plan and get it moving forward...

Thomas is standing on the side of the street opposite to the Crocker Art, a bit removed from the building to shroud the future congregation of vampires from view, as much as it's possible. Even though he has a clear picture of their plan in mind - and despite the eagerness to study this mysterious relic - he waits here for the other Kindred, in case they have their doubts or questions. The night is still young. Plenty of time to move in.

On the way here, he's tried to stock up on the precious red liquid - to no avail, however. Seems there are no people interested in mysterious, disarmingly intelligent men out there tonight. A shame.

Having nothing better to do, Thomas attempts to appraise the security measures visible from the outside. Again, with little success - the ambient noises, the veil of darkness and his own giddiness prevent him from gleaning any useful information.

The night of the Gala. Adam rarely burned through blood like the more combatant of his kind. But to be safe, he would attempt to feed. Alas, no time and no sources of vitae.

He would attempt to arrive unnoticed. Cloaking himself from the privacy of a nearby dark alley.

Veiled from many, Adam stood near the meeting place. From the silenced phone in his pocket, he keys a short message to the Crone a few yards from him. "Here. Cloaked. Silenced 4 Stealth."

Mable parked her truck over by the nearest cemetery and walked down to the meeting area. "Hi." She said quietly. "Uniform?"

The giant opted for a 'better' casual look - a black polo, jeans and black sneakers. He received the text from Adam. He replied with, Acknowledged.

The Hierophant assessed the crowd before mimicking the patron's pacing. He wanted to identify the layout's fire exits. Just in case things went south.

Adam steps back into the shadows to anchor the obfuscation of his presence.

Tag me when you folks are ready to proceed.

Mable now dressed in the uniform (hair in two french braids down her back) with the pass key card goes to the service door and heads into the building. She has her cell phone on vibrate but really wishes she had those cool ear buds that Lina had them use before.

First stop is the supply closet for the trashcan/cleaning cart on wheels. She now has a broom, mop, and other cleaning supplies. First chore is to find all the trash cans in the back rooms so she can get a look at each room. Hopefully, she will luck out and find the item.

Thomas heads into the building, not expecting any trouble with gaining entrance. When inside, he will ignore all those who do not actively try to capture his attention, focusing on finding Ms. Harrison. If found, the ventrue will hastily approach her and greet her politely.

I believe we've gotten as far as possible without your assistance Cross

Elettra arrives at the Crocker Art Museum and is wearing a simple black dress and heels. Dressed to blend in with the crowd. She enters the building and follows the pace of the crowd. Elettra focuses on her hearing to keep aware of what's going on around her.
