Posting the roll again. Didn't show in the first post. Weird.

2+6 modifier = 8 Initiative
So tried to post this multiple times, and the whole box came out blank. Not even showing the spoiler tag at all with the roll. So I rolled an 8 + 4 Modifier for Init of 12
(okay, we'll have initiative roster be Quinn then Storyteller, Dirt Nap and then JC. It's your turn pisces )
Quinn's eyes narrowed in near hatred as the grey eyed woman turned and raised her knife up in what looked like a move to potentially stab Jennifer. A low, guttural, growl, rumbled through her chest, and Quinn lashed out with both hands to grapple with her knife arm to make it at least harder to stab her Ladyship. Unless this grey-eyed-fucking-leech was a ninja, she would be stabbing forwards not backwards, so grappling with the handler seemed the best bet in the moment.
Quinn heard a lot of scuffling behind her and that yowl from that fucking fake ass 'feline' creature made her hair stand on end. She shivered a bit at the thought of touching that fucking thing. She didn't envy Dirt Nap and J.C trying to tangle with it. Even as Jennifer and Quinn took on the grey eyed Kindred together.
Grapple Roll
The kindred studied Jennifer for another beat. Then those grey eyes swung to Quinn, although for not as long. Not nearly as close scrutiny as Jennifer had received.
"Kin, be wary." She warns. "My master has
contingency plans-"
As the Stranger cuts off her sentence, she makes her choice. The knife is held against the kindred's body too closely to use as she intended. Quinn feels the kindred struggling against her hold-- and she's strong!
Quinn barely holds the kindred. Yet she holds!
The cat continues it's loud yowling.
Initiative: I forgot Jennifer's 10
So Quinn - Storyteller- Dirt Nap - Jennifer - JC
All can roll Int & Occult - 2 modifier to attempt to decipher the kindreds scrutiny
Quinn takes 0 damage as this is breaking grapple.
Reference
http://nwod.org/wiki/index.php/Grapple
Dirt Nap observes that with Jennifer appearing from thin air with her knife and the general, un-blushed nature of the Kindred present, there's little to be gained by trying to 'look natural', hence he shifts to a two legged form with opposable thumbs, the better to lend a hand with the cat as he was originally directed, or back up Quinn's play if the unknown Kindred woman turns out to be too much for her to handle alone.
He notices the kindred's intense scrutiny of Jennifer and less so of Quinn and wonders about it.

Change back to human form, holding a rifle in hand.
Not the scruff! It can still bite and squirm. Get it in the trap! Start helping Quinn.
JC tossed the cat in the trap with all his might and more. The blood quickened in his veins for only a couple seconds but in those seconds he was twice as strong.

Jennifer gives a grin as her hit connects with the Poacher. Yes, victory! Hopefully to wash away the other embarrassment of the night. As Quinn manages to grab the Poacher, Jennifer frowns. She is unsure if she can strike at the Poacher without harming Quinn. As the Poacher gives some cryptic warning, Jennifer’s frown deepens. Capturing the Cat and the Poacher will not end this. The Poacher was communicating to someone. More investigation would be needed!
You’ve never seen my million subtleties… The words come unbidden to Jennifer’s mind. A memory from somewhere, and in recalling the phrase that she likes, Jennifer decides. The time for subtlety is over. It’s a quiet area – quiet and discreet enough that ‘Muffins’ and this Kindred snuck in here, without feeling the need to Blush. The Nosferatu glances to her herd member, who has opened her eyes but remains slumped where she was placed, apparently enjoying the euphoria. Not paying attention to this drama. Jennifer racks her mind for any promises of any sort she made regarding using the Discipline, and comes up with no restrictions.
She had spent over a decade of her Danse honing these abilities for this reason. To end the fight, not brawl about in the dirt.
Jennifer approaches the Poacher caught in Quinn’s grapple and moves so that the Poacher cannot avoid Jennifer’s face.
“Hey bitch.” Jennifer addresses the Poacher. She assumed the earlier hit and this would cause the woman to look at her, to glare. That, and her Curse that causes her words to slither like a snake through dead grass tends to startle people.

“Relax.” Jennifer suggests, testing to see if her Discipline has any effect on the Poacher.
The Initiative roster is Quinn - Storyteller - Dirt Nap - Jennifer - and JC. Follow the roster.
Results for Jennifer's post regarding Quinn's action: the Kindred does not 'relax'. Still in an active struggle with the grapple.
Kindred: defense 3 Strength 3
Cat: Defense 5
