    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    In the center of the room was a desk that was a rich dark mahogany. It was large enough for her to work on multiple things, but not too large to overshadow her.

    The butterflies were placed here and there, adding her own unique style to the room.

    On the desk was the standard items on it, papers, small lamp, a computer. There was also a tall glass dome. Beside the glass dome was another one, this one held the same brightly colored butterflies, but had a darker, sinister twist to it. There was a skull in this one, with the butterflies placed artfully around it. Another skull with butterflies on it was placed on a shelf behind her.

    There wasn’t really art on the walls. But there were shadow boxes placed around the room with various colors of pinned butterflies. Some blue, some green and some a mixture.

    Playing softly from speakers placed around the room was Beethoven.

    The wall behind the seating area had a painting hanging, The Young Martyr, a small light hanging above it. Illuminating it softly.

    Three new chairs sat in front of the desk, Italian made and a deep shade of brown. There was a seating area was set in one of the corners. Which had two chairs and a couch around a coffee table. There were lamps on that offered a soft and comfortable glow, nothing too bright.


    The Ghoul walks to Ale’s desk, where the Savage stood, handing him some folders, Metti in moto le acquisizioni.” There was a bow of his head as he accepts the folders and closes the door behind him as he leaves. The Italian was dressed in a black leather skirt with a matching leather top. It showed off her two complete tattoo sleeves, as well as hinting at ink on her stomach.

    Her Beast began to pace, rage building in it as it demanded the blood of the weak.

    Dark eyes focus on the other three, she offers a respectful bow of her head to Twist, befitting her numerous stations. Small nods given to the other two as she sits, “So what do I owe the pleasure?” always right to business.

    A glance was enough to surprise Edward, the room was not what he expected from an Invictus Prince. But he wasn't about to study the room in detail, Alessandra was right there, after all.

    He bowed, the Beast's pressure crushing, rising when the Prince spoke.

    "Prince Antinori, I requested this meeting to give a report on a Breach and to request your judgement." His words were stiff from a desire to be formal and from the aligned terror of Man and Beast. It loosened to merely the stiffness of formality as he continued on:

    "According to an investigation conducted by myself, Ms. Wood, Mr. Dirt Nap, and Mr. Quilz, with the assistance of Archon Twist, we have concluded that Mr. Kowalsic of the Domain was viewed feeding by a Kine and a painting was produced by the said Kine of the event. An unacknowledged Kindred within the Domain by the name of Melanie attempted to publicize this painting in an effort to humiliate both Mr. Kowalsic and the First Estate at large. The painting has been confiscated, the Kine was revealed to be a Ghoul in the care of Ms. Simone, and Melanie met her Final Death in an endeavour to steal the painting. In short, the Breach has been contained."

    "If it pleases your Grace, I shall narrate the events that led to these conclusions and/or answer any questions you may have." Edward bowed again.

    Mable entered the office. She paused as her beast wanted to fight and run at the same time. Blood red entered her mind. It was a lot of beasts in a small room. She took a breath and listened to it go in and out then she focused on the music and butterflies. "Your Grace." She curtsied. She wanted to compliment the music choice but held her tongue.

    "Priscus Twist and Mr. Heinrich have the information and I can fill in if needed with what I know." She felt that way she acknowledges his version but reserved the right to correct as needed. Hopefully his words come across better than her own. And Twist was always very accurate and solid with her recounts of events.

    There was no facial expression from the Savage as she listened to what Edward had to say.
    Some information was new. Some was not. But she doesn’t let on to which.

    A nod of her head, “Please, continue. Though is this Ms. Simone the same from Court? The Shadow.” If so, they had a problem. Well, Simone had a problem.

    Eyes look to Twist, curious as to what she had to add. Had she been clued in already by Mr. Kowalsic? Or did she know something else.

    "As you wish, your grace. The one and the same, your grace."

    "My involvement with events began the day of the Breach. One of Mr. Kowalsic's Ghouls approached me, with the aim of inviting me to meet with the man himself. Mr. Kowalsic brought the Breach to my attention and requested specific members for the initial investigation team, namely: Mr. Quilz, Ms. Wood, Mr. Dirt Nap, and myself.

    Mr. Kowalsic further informed me of the location of the Breach, a nightclub by the name of Rapture. Further, he expressed his belief that Archon Twist was responsible and gave a description of the culprit which would match her grace."
    Edward's even words were the fruit of many rehearsals.

    "The necessary calls for aid were performed, and the investigators assembled within Rapture. There, the trail of clues led to Ms. Simone and her Ghoul: Rosario." Unlike when he reported to Twist, Edward made no mention of Simone's cooperation. This was not out of malice. He felt emphasizing Simone's contributions was like showing the Prince how to make her judgement. By contrast, he felt it necessary to describe Kowalsic's lies, as they explained Edward's actions.

    "Ms. Simone showed us the precursor to the painting, a sketch bearing the unmistakable visage of Mr. Kowalsic.

    Up until this point, I had simply assumed that Mr. Kowalsic was merely mistaken in his accusation. I found it unimaginable that such a respected member of the Invictus would engage in active deception against the Duchess Judex. The sketch shook me, all the more because it implied Mr. Kowalsic not only had full knowledge that his accusation was a lie, but that he personally was responsible for the Breach. Once again my imagination failed me, and instead, I suspected that the Breach had been performed by Ms. Melanie, who had then orchestrated a smear against Mr. Kowalsic.

    There is bad blood between the two, and Ms. Melanie appears to extend her animosity towards the Invictus writ large. Further, Mr. Dirt Nap was able to smell traces of Ms. Melanie's presence at the scene.

    My focus upon Ms. Melanie was, in hindsight, fortuitous; it revealed an art show where the full painting was to be put on display before the Kine. Upon my discovery, I informed Ms. Wood and Mr. Clay. The latter of whom contacted Archon Twist who joined us at the art show.

    Ms. Wood and I escorted the Ghoul to the Crone farm. Archon Twist acquired the painting."

    Mable listened to his account. Close enough. Now some of her input.

    "I just have a few additions. At first I was concerned that Simone was involved with the breach. Her involvement is with the artist, Rosario. He is her responsibility. She was fairly open with us when we met. She told us that a painting was to be exhibited. We confiscated the drawing and warned her to make sure her ghoul doesn't do that again."

    "At the art show we saw Melanie. I used one of my skills so I could see what she could see. From what I saw, she was deeply involved. She tried to attack Archon Twist."
    Mable gave a wry grin at the TRIED to. "She failed. Meanwhile, as Mr. Heinrich stated he and I got Rosario out of there and brought him to the farm. Dirt Nap had managed to cut the lights. I pulled the fire alarm to get the building evacuated. The painting was secured."

    "I lectured Simone about controlling her ghoul and to make sure she made it clear to him what he did wrong. I was unsure what other punishments should happen as she did help us and alert us to the deeper issues involved."

    Upon entering the office Twist dropped into a deep curtsy to the Prince of the city. Holding it for a moment, she straightened and moved deeper in. Having been in the room before, she moved with ease around the furnishings.

    Mable was generous with granting space for Twist to speak, but truly, Edward had it more correct. Twist had assisted, but merely for the finale. Catching Ale's glance she demurred from speaking at the moment with a slight shift of her head.

    As Edward elaborated, she was ready for the portion where she was implicated. Still the anger rose in her, her pride flaring at the idea of being accused of a breach, but she merely exhaled in response.

    And then resisted the urge to sigh as Mable spoke up, dark eyes flickering to Ale. Would the Prince say anything about her assumptions or would the matter of Kowalsic and his breach remain the primary matter at hand?

    What path would Ale choose for this? And how harsh would her judgement fall?

    Ah.

    Now things made sense. That was who he was referring to when he mentioned he made a mistake in who he identified. But did this ghoul look like Twist? Even if she did, he should have treaded very carefully with such an accusation.

    “Bad blood is an understatement to say the least.” sounded like Ale knew more than she was letting on. If what she had been told was the truth. Which, she wasn’t sure.

    Someone was lying to her. Was it the one who was kicked from the Invictus for trying to lie? Or was it Mr. Kowalsic? Maybe a combination of everyone involved? Hard to say.

    Looking to Mable as she speaks. Of course the whelp failed at attacking Twist. Clearly that one lacked common sense.

    “You…lectured?” no amusement in her voice, if anything, she was irritated. “A ghoul risked the safety of this Domain, the Masquerade, and put valued Kindred in danger and you…lectured?” what the actual fuck.

    “And why is Ms Simone and her worthless ghoul not here?”
    eyes moving from one, to the other.

    Oh Mable. Edward inwardly regretted not telling her that he would do the talking. She was useful and kind but lacked a certain cognitive empathy that could act as a canary in these situations.

    Edward nodded to Alessandra's assessment, understatement indeed. Edward empathized with Melanie, but her methods were wrong and for that, she died.

    "For the same reason Mr. Kowalsic is not present, your grace. I wished to give my report in a manner that would allow follow-up with discretion. As it is, I have little doubt Mr. Kowalsic has not wasted time in maneuvering."

    "To elaborate, he unaware as to the extent of my knowledge. Ms. Simone is more aware but labours under the impression that she or her Ghoul will not face further significant repercussions. I did not wish this meeting to dissuade her from that notion before any follow-up investigation or questioning was complete."

    "If my exclusion of one or both of the parties from this meeting was in error, I apologize, your grace." Edward gave a short bow to punctuate his apology.

    Mable realized she should have stayed silent, but then again if she did would she have been in trouble for not adding information? She was always either saying or not saying things at the wrong times. Obviously she lacked understanding social cues.

    She sat perfectly still with her hand folded in her lap as she listened. When Ale questioned her about her only lecturing she wanted to speak up and say why she only lectured. Instead she merely nodded and down cast her eyes a little. Then she nodded in agreement with Edward as he explained the situation further.
