    Nosferatu curse: A voice that withered like a snake sneaking through the grass, plummeted like an old man's nearing his demise

    The address that Jennifer gave the group led them to a small house. It’s a middle-class neighborhood: the houses are too run-down to be a bland suburbia, but it’s quiet and clean. On the approach, a camera is visible panning over the driveway. There is a two-car garage with an automatic garage door. A camera peers down onto the front step, motion activated.

    The home appears to be well furnished. It is furnished in light honey wood tones and subtle light blues and greens. There is a dining room in sight, a long wooden table has been decorated with a green and gold table runner. There is a tall glass vase holding a blue convolvulus flower on the dining table. The dining room is the largest room in the snug house, with a few potted plants lining the far wall. A small camera is visible watching the back door out of the tidy and small kitchen. The kitchen has a few small notebooks and a desk blotter, where one can stand on the counter and write with provided pens kept in a handmade wooden cup. An old gift from a former Coterie mate. Beside the dining room, a hall leads to a bathroom and a bedroom. Both have black out curtains in cornflower blue.

    In the main living space, there is a window with heavy black out curtains in cornflower blue. A fire extinguisher is beside the window, tucked by a small end table. The curtains are drawn, concealing the outside. Two small electric lights are set in end tables in the corner of the room, providing just enough light for the snug little room. The sitting area is composed of a leather love seat against the window. Facing the love seat are a pair of dark blue arm chairs in birch veneer. Both chairs are carefully set so they have a view of the front door.
    A low coffee table squats in the center. The table holds a coffee table book on Botany: hybrid roses.

    Liam, having been told to be on alert, answers the door and admits the Kindred guests of Dirt Nap , Quinn Durant , JC Smith and Edward Heinrich . He accepts outerwear or disguises shucked off and hangs them with dignity on the coat rack in the entranceway. He directs the guests to the living room. Once every one is admitted, he locks the doors and makes a small patrol, ensuring the haven is secure. Liam is a man just over six feet tall. He is white, with dark hair. He does not have any exceptional looks or anything to make you glance twice at him.

    Dirt Nap arrives with Jennifer, carrying in the cage trap with the cat like creature inside. He has managed to quiet it somewhat with a combination of threats and promises of food both delivered by hisses and meows via his Discipline of Animalism.

    He hands off his rifle to the ghoul, but keeps a hold of the caged creature.

    Having enjoyed it last time, Edward figured he'd wear the same outfit he used while hunting the poacher: a maroon button-up shirt and black slacks.

    Therefore, after stepping up to a familiar house, he had nothing to offer Liam. As it was, the ghoul had his hands full with a rifle.

    "Good evening, Mr. Clay."
    Edward glanced at the cage and then the rifle again. "Are we expecting trouble tonight?"

    Edward hadn't brought a weapon and begun to wonder if that was a mistake.

    " Hello, Dirt Nap."Jennifer greeted her friend as she arrived home to her haven. She looks to her ghoul, who gives a deep nod. No news to report, then.

    Jennifer moved to the back room, fetching her laptop and one of her favored occult texts, setting the book onto the coffee table. She sets the laptop on her lap and surveys this cat.
    " No jackal in shape. I suppose this accounts for the cat hair."
    Jennifer moved into the living room and took a seat in the love seat.

    Quinn arrived with J.C , and they made use of going through the garage, since they were bringing in a torpored body in a body bag. I mean...suspicious is as suspicious does, and keeping this out of the eyes of Jennifer's neighbors was in everyone's best interest.

    Hunting Roll 1 Success!


    Quinn had had only a small measure of luck hunting this evening, with such an abbreviated time table, and even with the homeless camp there, one had to be careful. It was enough to help her to heal some of the damage, but not quite all yet. She was able to ditch her upper body clothing in favor of a midnight blue henley, that covered the wound on her shoulder, and wasn't torn to shreds. She had stuffed her jacket and black henley that was all fucked up under her seat in her rental. She would dispose of it in her haven before dawn.

    Unless someone knew she was hurt ahead of time, they would be none the wiser. Her movements were not hampered, as the wound wasn't as bad as all that, and the blood she had consumed already went to a good purpose of beginning to close the wound on her shoulder.

    "Good evening Mr. Heinrich," Quinn intoned softly, upon seeing him, but her beast lurched at the confrontation. Being wounded didn't help the instincts of the beast to feel threatened. Quinn swallowed the snarl that rose in her throat.

    Quinn smiled a little bit at Jennifer, a half hearted one anyway, nodding a bit to her. "Where do you want the body?" She asked softly. This wasn't her place after all.

    Dirt Nap nods to the Lady Hazelton, "Eve'ning, Jenna. If you are still partial to me calling you by the name." He says softly though with a somehow hungry demeanor.

    "Thank you for lettin' us hole up in your place." He says.

    When Mister Heinrich offers greeting and a question, Dirt Nap chuckles softly, "Eve'ning, Mister Heinrich. Can't say as I don't always expect trouble, though I enjoy being disappointed."

    Dirt Nap nods cordially towards the Priscus Quinn Durant when she comes in and asks about the disposition of the body. He leaves it to the host to answer, no doubt as graciously as if it were a bouquet she were bringing in to the house.

    It was more than a little odd to be surrounded by Beasts, and have not even the slightest sign. He smiled easily back at Dirt Nap, "I join you in the sentiment, Mr. Clay." Edward was glad for JC's lesson on interpreting Dirt Nap in the previous court, without it, the phrasing would have confused Edward.

    "Good evening, Priscus Durant." Edward nodded to Quinn and wondering for a brief moment if something was wrong. No, presumably focused on more pressing matters. "Good evening, Mr. Smith."

    Once in the kitchen, he gave a short bow to Jennifer, "good evening Priscus Hazelton." He wasn't about to insult her, implicitly or otherwise, in her own home. Neither was he interested in pursuing their grievance here. The small bow was his way of saying that.

    "Is there anything I might help with?" He looks first to Quinn who asked about a body, then to Jennifer, then to Dirt Nap.

    "Its perfectly okay for you to do so, Dirt Nap." She states, giving a certain word more emphasis. With present company, she was sure it would be ignored. Not her problem.

    The Nosferatu studied the body bag at Quinn's question.
    "Who suggested bringing it here, again?" She wondered aloud. "I would think the Closet would be the best place. Liam, go dump it in the tub for now. Put this in its chest first." She reaches under the chair she is sitting in and hands the stake that she pulls out to Liam. Liam takes the bag and walks down the hallway with the bag.
    "If we had deputies, I would call one to come pick it up. I definitely don't think it will suit to keep it all day."

    She will likely have to call someone. Jennifer sure hoped someone had the teeth to step up for Reeve and others to put their hat in for Deputies. Soon.
    Jennifer doesn't look at Edward.

    "I plan on reading up on occult methods of harvesting... I assume thats what the cat is doing. Yet we also have the Poacher's master to contend with. I will need to check the range on that communication device the Poacher was wearing - so we have an idea of where they were stationed when hearing the Poacher's report."

    A glance around the room. "No Mr. Northbridge? What do you think Dirt Nap, should we call him?"

    "Priscus Durant, can I speak with you over here?" She suggested. She was sure that Priscus Durant would likely not want to discuss her dietary preferences and needs with the entire room. Jennifer stood and walked over to the bedroom, leaving the door open for Priscus Durant to follow her in. She had an idea for a quick meal that could help the Priscus recover - and wanted to check in on her opinion.

    Scourge Is JC going to show up?

    JC followed Liam to the restroom and was there for some time as he rifled through the woman’s clothes, checking her person for any additional weapons of items of importance that he’d present when he got back. Any phones or electronics had their batteries immediately removed.

    2 successes


    For now he stood back, hand on his chin, trying to process everything that had just happened. Trying to keep his mind calm and the beast away from the surface. Fighting against the Gangrel curse and his own anxiety to get to a place he could think clearly.

    Sorry for my delay.

    Great. To the Tub with with this bitch. For now "Look for personal items on her. I will want to get a read on anything she has. You'd be surprised how much you can find out from ordinary objects." Quinn instructed in her soft tone, as she dumped the bitch in the bathroom.

    Quinn smiled to Jennifer Hazelton and nodded. The edge of hunger in her features was there. She was physically injured and hunting hadn't been as prosperous as she had hoped, though it was enough at this point to heal and wake up the next evening. For that, Quinn was grateful, but on edge none the less. A part of her wanted to diablerize the whore that tried to end Jennifer. There wasn't any other way for Quinn to look at it. She targeted and tried to stab Jennifer. She wanted to apply lime to her and watch it eat her flesh away in the bathtub, she felt the beast rise like leviathans inside of her. Hatred burned in her normally warm hazel eyes as she let the body go into Liam's capable hands. "Of course Priscus Hazelton..." She said in a slightly far off tone, as she watched with bright fixed eyes as it was delivered elsewhere. "Don't worry Priscus Hazelton. I will take it to Elysium where it can go in the closet for awhile, until the Prince decides on a fitting sentence for potential breach of the Masquerade and for poaching, and attempted murder of a Kindred of Quality." She nodded her head appreciatively to her Ladyship.

    She moved over to her Ladyship, one hand moving to cup the top of her shoulder, as she rolled the ripped up shoulder back. It wasn't unusable by any means, but it sure hurt like hell. She put her physical body between Jennifer and the poacher. Quinn wasn't the fair weather type. If she called you ally, she would go to the wall for what she believed. She just hadn't thought that she would be trying to prove that tonight exactly. For better or worse, that's where she was.
