    Atticus James

    A smoker, is basically an underground boxing/fighting match. They are not illegal... per-say. Two guys want to sign up to beat the crap out of each other, they can. What is illegal is the stuff that goes on around them, gambling, drugs, and general unrest. Also if the two guys (or girls) fighting have respect and back off when they should, cool, if they don't and a dude gets is brain deaded because a ref wasn't doing his job, well that is illegal as it comes.

    Thanks to the info that Alessandra provided, Atticus and his boys were able to find their way to a smoker at the docks. One of the guys told Atticus that it was in a warehouse that most of the stevedores didn't pay a ton of attention too. Atticus wasn't dumb, it was probably a storehouse for all kinds of illegal stuff.

    Atticus strolled in and his buddies dispersed around, talking to people and getting in on the various action. The kindred grabbed a beer and found a post to lean on, watching a couple dudes smack the crap out of each other with little style, and all force.

    Matt is very tall,at seven feet,he draws stares and attention whether he is doing anything that warrants it or not. He's in his late teens or early twenties. His voices is deep. He moves well for such a big man, with some athletic training in evidence. His expression is generally always angry to some degree whether he is actively glaring or just generally scowling, lost in thought.

    Matt shows up with a few guys he knows from the gym he started going to. They spotted each other lifting, and then agreed to go out for some drinks. One of them said he knew a place that was off the books, where there were fights. The four of them look like what they mostly are, tourists from a white collar life with gym membership muscles, except Matt is seven freaking feet tall and has an expression of simmering anger that never leaves him.

    Still, they brought their own beer and aren't causing any trouble, not even trying to bet on anything, just watch.

    Blackbird's affiliation with the local criminal underground was well known to the Kindred, at least in passing.

    Indeed she lacked the status of the Prince amongst their kind, but her allies were sizable. As she normally operated within the Black Market, it would likely be easy to question why she had come to this den of violence. However, just because she wasn't a crime boss didn't mean she wasn't trying to build her status up. The best way to do this was be seen... and some of her allies suggested the fights as a means for others to at least get comfortable with her presence, paving the way to afford her entrance.

    Blackbird, as always, dressed to stand out, choosing a palette of dark blues, coupled with a pair of jeans. They seemed relatively new in fact, a far cry from the well worn jeans she had so often worn. Her hair hung down in beachy waves and her makeup retains its liberal use of eyeshadow. In all it was best defined as 'classy casual'. Arenas of this particular caliber could be fickle things and she didn't want to draw in too much unwanted attention. If she had opted for a gown or a suit, she'd be broadcasting herself too much for her liking just yet.

    At first, a few choice allies had joined her at her table, each granting Blackbird the cut she had earned by finding their buyers, though their products were not overly discussed. The discussions were friendly, if brief, and the men at her table soon left her to size up fighters. For the moment, Blackbird sat alone.

    She had not yet seen Atticus, his incognito approach to the festivities not drawing her eye. Especially when an angry-looking Giant happened to lumber in with a group of men with vanity muscles. The neonate's brows peaked in faint interest. She felt she would remember seeing a man like this before. And yet, she could not recall his face.

    Assuming the man was a new fighter, Blackbird would turn her attention back to the current fight as slender fingers grasped the beer beside her. It was a dark ale, made by a local microbrewery. And there it was, a small glimmer of excitement in her features as the men spilled precious blood. Upon her lips, a soft, if slightly predatory, smirk.

    Circe's presence is not entirely unexpected her coworkers were interested in the brawl and it was a good place to network. Granted people that preferred bare knuckle fights didn't always like guns but the Fairest could adapt. The hooded trench coat did help keep most of the riffraff from bothering her, though the decision to dye her hair red was counterbalancing that. Not that she'd say no to an excuse to break a bottle on somebody's face.

    For now, the Fairest wanted to get herself some rage filled emotions, especially since they weren't serving tequila. And this giant angry man came in. The man was radiating a almost bestial rage that the Summer Queen found enticing. This could be fun to watch. And if he got it under control though? Well, Circe was sure she could throw some fuel onto that raging fire.

    It's amazing what you can find with a tiny tweak of Fate. Phoenyx didn't do it often, but she was feeling rebellious and in need of something new. Something exciting. And it had lead her here, to a fighting pit.

    As one of the fighters staggers away and the other is cheered into the crowd, the diminutive fighter steps into the open space in her long trenchcoat. She takes it off, revealing lithe, toned muscles, her red fitting tank top and black lycra pants. She has wraps around her hands, and looks around the crowd expectantly, waiting for someone to step up.

    Atticus just watches as the big boy comes walking in, He'd give Kreig a hell of a run. "Damn, you a big big boy," Atticus said with a chuckle in his voice.


    The Gangrel sees the little bird enters and just smiles. He doesn't approach her, giving her some space. It's nice to see the beautiful birdy out and about, but he wanted to see her in her element.


    Some good looking women about.


    As the woman jumps into the ring Atticus just nods his head, hell yeah, Atticus was not one of those guys who thinks that women should sit back and look pretty. Women wanted to scrap, let em scrap. Some of the best scrappers he knew were of the lady persuasion. Get em girl.

    Fawkes works security, his chain smoking creating a small cloud of cheap tobacco around his rigid form. He wears a plain blazer over his black turtleneck and jeans, ugly knife at the hip.

    The point of a bouncer in this sort of environment was exactly as expected: keep a reason for the police off the table. Drugs and money flowed, but nothing alarming that the PD would splinter their already stretched Watch. The mannequin is expressionless, and it translates to his Mask as the eerie man does pat-downs and shuts down pea-cocking with an emotionless cut to the conversation. As Circe approaches he is more polite than the rest, ghosting his hands without invading her space out of respect for her rank. The angry motherfucker that towered over him provided more interest than pause.

    Homicide, weapons, firearms. None of that shit.

    He was hungry, and the burning under his tongue is ready for the Glamour harvest of wanton violence and bruised egos.

    For his part, the angry giant seems content to simmer and glare as a spectator rather than a fighter. He looks on with some interest when the lithe oriental woman seems prepared to fight though his interest doesn't look like he wants to fight her. Possibly more like he's interested to see what she can do. He doesn't seem dismissive of the possibility that she could be a formidable fighter in any account.

    He actually smiles slightly, and has another beer from the case he is holding without any apparent effort. He is drinking and finishing his beers in quick succession, but doesn't show any signs of it affecting him except perhaps a slight softening of his glowering expression.

    Despite the raucous surroundings, Blackbird remained relaxed. Where others flinched at the fighting, she did not, watching the violence with cold interest.

    The arrival of the exotic woman and impassive mannequin of a man earn a glance. However, it is the woman who had come to fight that got most of Blackbird's attention. One need only see the slight perking of Blackbird's brows to see she was intrigued. Would the victor accept the woman's silent challenge? Or would someone else step to the plate?

    Then... that voice.

    Atticus' tone was distinctive. It easily drew his fellow Deputy's gaze and Blackbird looked the Savage over. She'd grant a wink, her smirk remaining on her lips though it's cold nature softened. For a moment. However, she didn't beckon him. After all, this was an opportunity to truly see him in action. She had missed her opportunity last time due to the need to execute the Kine in order to cover up the mess of a now torpored cousin.

    Noting Atticus' interest in the Giant, Blackbird would eventually look the angry man as well with faint interest. Part of her wondered if he too had heard Atticus' words. Part of her also wondered if any of the Giant's vanity-muscled friends would take part as well.

    What was this? A tasty brawled came in. The chance to tangle with the muscular woman called to the Summer but the Fairest preferred her dignity. She was a gunner not a puncher. Though she'd keep an eye on Phoenyx if the woman did well. Circe should probably learn to throw a punch better.


    And Fawkes had been such a gentleman. Shame he was security and not a participant. It could have helped her learn what the new Summer could do. Plus he'd not taken her gun. Circe decided to go for the big guy. So much rage, maybe she could get him to fight while she took a little taste.


    So Circe walks up right beside the man, gauging his expression. Circe isn't shot but the guy is huge anyway. Drinking and smiling? Maybe he wanted to fight her? "Hmmm," she hums loudly, "I doubt yer drinkin' fer the courage ta enter the ring big fella. Yer plan ta watch, give 'em a handy cap, or do ya happen ta be one of those types that fight better drunk? Hint hint, confirming the third would would make ya extra cool."
