    The Nosferatu communal area was being subjected to the serpentine singing of one Jennifer Hazelton as she evaluated her old school system of pen and paper for updating the security system for the necropolis. The Haunt had visited the entrances to the Necropolis and was now updating the changes to her to do list.
    She had invited Alexander to a meeting via text and would not be surprised if she came across Alice here. She hopes that she would, but Alice was a busy woman.

    Jennifer wore black jeggings- a rather ingenious little thing people had come out with- an emerald colored tricose blend top, tunic length. Her brown hair was swept on top of her head in a bun. The best style for getting things done.

    Memory and a note scribbled onto a torn piece of paper led him back to the entrance of the Necropolis, the metal door heavy on its hinges with hints of rust creeping in. Alexander pulls a leather string from around his neck, and uses the key attached to it to open the padlock holding the door. Closing the door behind him he carefully makes his way down into the dark, cringing slightly as he awaits a collision with the ceiling. It never comes, and he takes a moment to remove his coat, revealing the pair of navy coveralls he’s wearing, modified to fit if only barely. Straightening up he sees a small figure in green, calls out softly.


    “Hello, Prisc-er… Jennifer, I hope you are doing well this evening.”
    Curse: Incredibly tall and emaciated, their skin is stretched over their large and bulky frame, with long limbs and a strangely shaped head.

    Jennifer turns and smiles pleasantly to Alexander.
    "Good evening, Alexander. Yes, I am quite well. The security measures I am setting up are going swimmingly. I was looking over the new security methods and deciding if I have taken them far enough. I hope that you are settling into things here in Sacramento?" Her serpentine voice asks.

    Safe from Kine eyes down here, she wears no scarf, of course. The terrible scar that ravaged the right side of her neck and trails down under the collar of her tunic is visible. Jennifer has now taken to wearing an old fashioned working key tied with purple velvet on a long loop on her neck. Alexander, having his own key, recognizes that this is a false key. Jennifer sets the pencil and her pad with its to - do list aside on a small end table she has hauled down here.

    "I am settling into a space down here as another Haven for myself. " She tilts her head, glancing towards Alexander.

    “I am doing quite well thank you, Sacramento has been good to me.” Nodding down at her he makes his way closer, reaching into his folded coat and takes out a small notepad and a novelty super sized pencil.


    “I’ll admit I’m not sure how I can help with improving the security down here, I know very little of construction or more esoteric methods with which to protect the Necropolis. Once I have more resources I shall bring them to bear, but for now I will focus my efforts on constructing the Bleak Annals I spoke of when we last met here. If you have any advice for developing the Annals, or suggestions of ways I can assist you, please don’t hesitate to share.” He looms, the large pencil looking small in his hand as it rests above the pad of paper.

    "I am glad that you are settling in.
    I would encourage getting to know Dirt Nap. He's a good friend of mine.
    I do like the idea of the annals. I'm a scholar that enjoys research and learning different aspects of the occult.

    What sort of subjects interest you? Have you ever researched something thoughly? We should likely consider that for practicality.

    I did give some thought to making the annals inclusive. I know that braille ought to be sought out, and need to research how we might get obscure texts in the format.

    In my first visit here, we had a Bible verse .. riddle, you could say. We had to infer meaning from a scripture and I am not religious. So perhaps including that as a means of covering an area we might need to research.
    What is your vision?"


    Jennifer looks down at her notes for a moment.
    " I think I have done all that I can, for now. I likely should go back over the changes to ensure that I haven't overlooked anything, and I will let you know. Hate to be surprised..."
    Some security could be nasty. She didn't want any surprise to catch her cousins unaware. She recalled some of the decor above, intended to discourage snooping, had been quite the surprise during her first visit.

    Alexander nods along with her as she speaks, and takes a moment to jot down a few short notes on his notepad, his strokes as illegible as anyone of his profession but just as dutiful. He stares at his notes for a moment before tearing away the page and stuffing it into his left breast pocket. A pregnant pause follows as he collects his thoughts and replies to each statement in the order with which it was spoken.


    “Dirt Nap is a very interesting man, though our time was cut short.


    I must admit it is not the idea of knowledge or learning that truly calls to me, I intend to build the Annals as something of a homage to my Sire.

    I am always interested in medicine, it was my life before this one, but I hope to expand my horizons and learn a broader understanding of the world.


    Books in braille might be hard to procure, we can certainly find the more popular books, but beyond that I have no idea what we might or might not find.

    And for how I envision the library? I hope it is filled with books, beyond that it is just as much a surprise for you as it is for me.

    Well, thank you for putting the security of our Necropolis first, I will see to it that I help more in maintaining its integrity in future.” Alexander gives a bow, somewhat awkwardly since his outfit seems to stretch at its seams at every opportunity.


    “But what would you suppose to be a priority for the Necropolis in future, beyond its security what should we concern ourselves with?”
    He leans forward slightly, his height lending to the looming factor, with his head crooked to the side in curiosity.

    "An homage to your Sire?" Jennifer clarified. "Did your Sire have a specific area of study, then? How would this affect their Annals here, in this Necropolis?

    "It is possible we might be able to procure individual books to be produced, at additional cost." Cost and influence could be but largesses to members of the First Estate, such as Jennifer. Yet she and Alexander were not intimate friends to discuss such matters such as finances.

    As the note on procuring additional books was not an avenue she thought would lead to another discussion avenue, she moved back to something that they may discuss more broadly.
    "Did you have a career in medicine, then? We had a Dr. Josephine Powell here some years back.Dr. Powell was of the Blood of the Nosferatu. I am unsure when she left, but I believe she was here in Sacramento some nine years ago. She managed to procure a prosthethic for a Kindred of note who needed one, which was very well recieved..."
    "Yes, I do find security to be a pressing need. My sire was.... eccentric. We began lives underground - sadly, in a poor location for electronics and books. I am pleased with this area that the Family has been working to maintain. I do wish for it to be a safe area for us to convene and commence our studies.

    On the future - I see this as our communal haven as well as a place for our projects to be completed, from research to fully realized. I plan on putting in a internet hub. I trained as a Computer network specialist and have some talent in hacking. I would bring down some of those devices so we can do our work in the safety of a haven. I am deciding if that should be my sepulchre...
    I am a bit curious, have you had any interaction with the new Mekhet members of the Domain? Any thoughts on them?"

    The press of a Predator rolls out to challenge the other Kindred within the Necropolis. Mr. Kowalsic's Beast is formidible and remains somewhere up above, at the entrance of the Necropolis.
    (BP 4)


    A few moments pass and a polite voice queries.

    "Hello in there." An athletic, middle-aged Caucasian man dressed in an outdated but fine brown suit peers inside the room. Upon seeing Alexander and Jennifer, he composes himself and makes a slight formal bow of the head to the both of them.
    "Good evening. I am Charles, Mr. Kowalsic's assistant. Mr. Kowalsic was hoping to have a word with someone who might enjoy learning of the history of Sacramento. " He pauses a bit, composing his thoughts.
    "The stars have aligned that a bit of a riddle is going to fall into Mr. Kowalsic's hands soon. This needs to be puzzled out to prevent a threat to gain hold in the city. I am sure you have heard of Mr. Pope?

    He is rumored to know of powerful secrets. I have heard that his true danger is that he did some study of the Crone in a neighboring city. He knows of unique rituals. That could give the Crone of this city a powerful boost, should they get their hands on him. "


    The ghoul looked between Alexander and Jennifer.

    Jennifer's phone beeped and she checked it, frowning.

    "I need to go see about the security,"
    She said to Alexander. "I will say good bye to Mr. Kowalsic on my way out, Charles. Let me know what you learn, Alexander? I wouldn't mind researching, but I have a Covenant matter thats going to be taking up my time. You have a good night, and take care, Alexander."

    She paused to give Alexander time for respectful goodbyes, made her goodbyes upstairs and departs into the night.

    I had a great scene! I hope we get another together. I am seeding the Resurrectionist plot line in here for Alexander to get some headway.

    “My sire was more interested in the books themselves than their contents, he was a somewhat unfocused man when he was idle so he rarely spent much time studying specific subjects.” He listens to Jennifer as she goes through a range of topics, nodding and giving noises of interest before answering the last question asked.


    “I have not had time to meet them properly, I saw them last time I was in Court but we were-” What he might have said was cut off as he went rigid as the pressure seemed to push down on him from above. As the man called out to them and proceeded to speak to them, Alexander slowly changed his posture, from ramrod surprise to an almost liquid sway, his body shifting in indecision, before relaxing back into a slightly hunched countenance, his face remained neutral but his eyes were narrowed with slight annoyance.


    “Goodbye Jennifer, have a pleasant night.” He watched her leave before turning back to the man.


    “I have not heard much of Mr. Pope. Nor am I familiar with Mr. Kowalsic, perhaps you could lead me to him for an introduction?” He swings one of his hands out from behind his back to point it palm up towards the exit, his Beast buzzing in mild hysteria at the burgeoning weight of the Predator above.
