    Rhodes
    Mein

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.
    Mantle

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    One of the key things about working with someone was to know when they hand someone in the palm of their hand - just as Sera did now. Adding anything would only diminish the alluring affect of the Nix's mesmerising voice, so Rhodes hung back out of the way... partly to make sure he didn't get too distracted either.

    While Sera wrapped the receptionist around her finger, Rhodes looked over the counter, trying to see if he could spot anything worthwhile.

    Sera and Rhodes

    The women pasues, teeth skidding along teeth in an abortive move to bite her lip. "I-I guess, if you're paying...it wouldn't be to bad..." she pushes her wheeled desk chair back to the wall, Rhodes eyes. He notes again that there is more keys then there should be, for the number of cars in the parking lot. A long finger spears the keyring, with her bright pink acrylic nail, "Here, number 12, uh. I'll need ID and the money."

    Abe and Circe


    The Knight and the Gun Bunny whisper, sounds rolling into mulch upon the Elf's behalf, the long points of her blue ears, twitch towards the open window, might be the reason for her indistinct mumbling.

    " - uk you Bobby."

    "Just did that babe."

    a groan, "Not. Funny."

    "Is~"

    Another groan. "It's your turn to move the cars."

    "Bitch why?"

    "Because of your obvious male prowas, I'm just too fucked out to move babe."

    Due to Circe's distraction, Abraham is unsure if she agrees or not,

    If Abe wants to go through a window I'll need a Strength + Athletes - If he's trying for any open window, And if it's to a closed one, some way to force open the window - Strength + Athletics (for throwing) or Strength + Brawl to bust the window, or he can attempt to open the Maintenance door

    Not getting the decisiveness he hoped for from Circe, Abraham decides to wait no longer. He'd prefer to create a situation rather than react to an existing one - trusting a combination of swordplay, magic and good ol' deception to get him out of trouble.

    The Flowering settles his backpack on the ground, but only to retrieve a handful of climbing nuts, clamps and a rope - and when that's in place, he dons the backpack again and begins his climb upwards. It's difficult in the beginning, as the surface is not quite as easy to navigate as he hoped, and the Flowering barely makes it - but makes it nonetheless.

    I am a bit unclear if there are any open windows besides the one with the smoke - if yes, Abraham will try to reach a room with no people and no immediately obvious dangers, but as close to the smoke as possible. If there's only one window open (with the smoke and voices coming out), he'll use that one.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded gold and diamond scales extenuate the rare greenish blue color of her aquamarine eyes. In the right light, or when her mood changes, her eyes seem to illuminate from within, it’s a very gentle glow. This is the ocean lives in Sera's eyes. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the ground, spun silver and emerald. Perfectly placed tiny pearls can be seen woven throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There is an iridescent scale like skin that pulls delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmers and has three curly points.

    Flashing an award-winning smile, “Thank you! You’ve been so helpful.” Gushed the Nix reaching into her bag. While she never spent the time getting a fake ID, she did have a drivers license, and hoped it would work. “Is cash ok?” because the less ways they had to trace her, the better.

    The ID was a driver license, the name Sera Jones, the address was for a PO box she used for business. Cause you need one when opening a business.

    Rhodes and Sera


    "Cash is fine." the women smiles, more of smirk, now as Sera's laying off the charm. "An hour?" she asks again, humour colouring her tone. Grabbing the key, an actual key and not a card, and hands it to Sera, her fingers linger on gilded skin she cannot see, nor feel, before pointing the way to unit 12.

    "First floor, just a door down, on my right.


    Circe


    Circe, believing discretion is the better part of valor, or perhaps that climbing through an open window with people on the other side wasn't the best way to keep sneaking and skulking about, moves to the mantianice door.

    The door knob isn't what the Larcenist would have expect of a commercial building, but considering the state of everything else in the building. It's something you'd find in a house, smooth metal with a push lock, which is facing outward.


    Abe



    The Knight-Errant, ever prepared looks to the window, just higher than his head, debates whether this climbing supplies will be worth it*, taking to long, or offering more noise as he prepares to ascend.

    When he dose, he sees two people, both nude, the man closer to the window, possibly having opened it, with a silhouette of flame in his chest, while women lounging on top of the covers, cigarette held between her fingers and tallow for dreads.

    "Who the fuck are you?!"

    "Get the fuck outta here flower boy!"

    Then, there is a pause, twin pairs eyes, one burning coals, the others wiking embers, eye the irises, while noses twitch. Abraham can smell burning blooms, and hear the hiss of rain water splattering, then hissing to steam against flame licked skin

    "Unless, "You wanna" "Join us...?

    It'd be so easy to give in to a base Desire. Rationalize it away, or don't care to. The others are capable people, they could unravel this mystery on their own while he has a bit of fun here. What's the worst that could happen?

    But no. The knight-errant preached the virtue of being dutiful, and this was the time to show that principle in practice. The Flowering smiles at the couple's 'offer' and it's almost like he doesn't move, but in a split-second there's a sword in his hand, its business end pointing at the pair of lovers.

    No, no, no, bad and wrong.

    Abraham Resists and draws a weapon, and commits his next four Actions to closing windows and doors, Harvesting, studying, and then trying to Intimidate.

    But before all that happens...



    "I think you mixed up the genres" He says, evidently amused "This is not adult entertainment. It's a horror movie, I mean - Halloween is upon us. Do you know what happens to people who have sex in horror movies?" The Flowering boasts a knowing smile, at the same time pleasant and hopefully slightly unnerving "You can start by telling me your names, then we can have a chat about this here establishment and I'll be gone like a bad dream. But you try anything funny, it's off with your heads"

    His sword still pointed at them, Abraham moves a bit around the room. First to close the window and make sure the doors are closed, too. Second, to soak up the atmosphere. The resonance of this place throbbed with Desire, and the Flowering wondered if some latent traces of that emotion cannot be scrubbed off - maybe not from them, as they are clearly changelings (although Abraham cannot say for certain what breed), but maybe this room had mundane occupants as well?

    It is most fortunate for Abraham that Circe hadn't followed him as she'd have just thrown him under the orgy bus and bullshitted her way past using him as a decoy.

    Instead, she was trying to pick a lock with a combat knife, credit card, and paper clips. She needed to just attach the lockpicks to her wallet, or at least start wearing bobby pins while carrying a multitool that included a screwdriver.
