Alessandra and Helen Kingsley had been told by a member of a Brood that a meeting at Rocky's bar could be set up. The appointed day had arrived. Would you take special preparations before the meeting at Rocky's? Were allies contacted or called in?
What do you do?
This is not set at the setting of Rocky's bar yet - I will describe that setting when your character posts here arriving there. This is for any set up you take in a few minutes before the meeting.

After a good thinking through of the options, Helen makes a note to go ask a few people to see if they know anything about Rocky's that'd be good to know beforehand. Also, time permitting, she'll try to pass by early and get some measure of the place before getting in there.
Helen does the rounds to see what her contacts on the street and in EMS can tell her about Rocky's. She'll also do what she can to get there a little early. If you want a roll or a glimpse on anything or something less... technical, let me know ! Also sorry for the wait, the thread sort of fell off the back of the truck !

Helen discovers that Rocky's is a biker bar. It is a long term biker hang out where the bikers generally are good neighbors to the businesses and people living in the area.
If Helen wants any more information, she should make an Allies roll. What time will she arrive at the bar? Post arrival here and what equipment she brings and what she does once she arrives.

A biker bar, eh ? Well, it could be way worse, that's for sure. She looks at her watch. 35 minutes early. Not a lot, but enough to get a feel for the area, if all goes right. She parks the car 2 blocks away, gathers her stuff and takes a walk. Not too close to the place itself yet, just into the general vicinity and then around the block the bar is in. Scan for some people or cars that might look familiar. She hopes not to encounter any known faces, really, except one, and even that one ? Not just yet.

Helen learns that Rocky's has changed ownership in the last month. They kept on some of the staff, yet some of the staff quit because the new owner tolerates more violent clientile and the staff did not feel safe. Helen looks around the area and notes that a car seems familiar. After looking at it for a moment, she places the car as the one that she and the Prince had seen before encountering the two Kindred inside. The one that had been watching the road to the Archon's location.
Helen doesn't see anything out of the ordinary for the location.

The more she gets to know the place, the more fun it starts to sound. All they need to find out now is whether that's the good fun or the bad fun. At least the familiar car tells her she's come to the right spot. So far everything looks good, but will it stay that way ?
Helen loiters, waiting for others to turn up !

Helen waits for ten minutes. Twenty. Then the appointed time comes up. Should Helen head into the bar? Looking around, she sees no signs of other Kindred that she recognized from Court. As she waits, most of the bar patrons seem to clear out. There are only two windows by the door. If Helen looks in, she can see a big, burly looking bartender serving a lone man sitting at the bar. Two people sit at a booth, drinking something from what appear to be viking horns. There is some movement in the back of the room, yet Helen cannot see it from outside of the bar.
I do not believe Alessandra will be joining the thread. If Helen will leave without being joined by her, let me know

Helen waits as time ticks by and makes some more notes, like the license plate of the car their two friends use. Sure, she assumes they could ditch that thing quickly enough and move on to other things, but hey, it's something to keep an eye out for. After that, the question presents itself: What now ? It doesn't look like theres that much interest in a meeting and helen herself is neither in any sort of position that makes her a worthwhile chatting partnr, nor does she like to tussle with an nknown number of Brood if she doesn't have to. All that in mind, she's not too hot on the idea of walking into the place all by her lonesome with little to say to these guys.
So she finishes her observation and retreats from the scene. Still might be worthwhile to keep an eye on the place ? They'll see soon enough.

Helen makes note of the vehicle that was used outside of Twist's House location. Helen notes that one of the black leather clad person is spoken to by the bartender. Both check the wall clock. It appears that both are aware that the Kindred of the Domain are late for the meeting. Helen retreats from Rocky's Bar.
