Confidants: Sighting of the Sisters

[Seryna]

The Kimpton Sawyer Hotel was upper scale and popular with Kine. The Reeve has been informed that the quarry has been sighted in the bar attached to the restauarant. The Alder Prince was appraised and the Prince's presence was requested. As one approaches the site where the Kindred described by Ms. Rowland had been spotted, about five people are in the bar. Three women with auborn hair and sharp faces move across the bar towards the back.

Two men, who by body language suggest a couple, are seated in a booth by the bar with a good view of the main door of the bar.

The sun had set an hour ago. The night stretched before you. What do you do?

It's pretty fucking early. Whether that's good or bad, they'll find out soon enough, but at least it gives them time to do their thing. Also givs that time to the others, though. Eh, something about early birds comes to mind.

So Helen has brought the usual contraptions, plus a few things that might come in handy. Before they head inside, she addresses the others. Looking at the sort of place the place is, she's broken out the blue dress she's normally reserving for Elysium functions to help blending in at least a little.

"So, the folks we want are-" she looks on a little note she made "Brangaine, Dindrane and Igraine Hamleigh. Guess we'll see how accessible they're to reason. That falls flat, we'll see what happens."

As for herself ? She hasn't been able to knock some sense into the likes of those three. She's actually kinda looking forward to it.

Equipment brought along in small handbag: several small wooden wedges, burner phone, notepad and pencil, can of pepper spray, anonymous wallet with 100$, roll of quarters. Telescopic baton concealed on person.

Upper scale? Sure, why not, she could do that.

An expensive and expertly tailored suit was selected, in black of course. This suit had cutouts on the sleeves that allowed some of her ink to show, not that she was trying to hide it. Long dark hair hung pin straight behind her, and no makeup was worn. Her heels were black, but had that tell tale red underneath.

Gabriel drives her to the address in the Aston, stopping in front to open the car door for her and help her out. The Savage didn’t need the help, but it sent a message.

No weapons could be seen on her. But as a Savage, she always had weapons on her and would not hesitate to use them on these sisters if she wanted. The whole mess was out of hand and needed to handled.

Her skin had a healthy warm flush to it, though still pale. The ink on her face and neck standing out. Walking up to Helen she listens to the name, committing them to memory. “Oh, well should they not be, it won’t be in their best interests.” The Italian done with this. “I’ll see to that.” You don’t come into a Domain and start threatening its members. Just doesn’t fly for her. “But I’ll let you take the lead here, stepping in if needed.” She made Helen Reeve for a reason, time to see if it was a smart move.

The two Kindred speak as the bargoers move around their glittering and dimly lit interior of the bar. A look at the bar reveals that the foot traffic on the street is light. A thin, tattooed man is behind the bar. He expertly slices limes at his station. A pleasant looking plus size redhead is watching the patrons. She moves towards the three women with sharp features. One of the women, wearing a dark blue pant suit, gently touches the redheaded waitress as they converse. The waitress leans in slightly, listening closely and hanging on the unknown woman's words. A few words are written on the redhead's notepad and she moves briskly towards the bartender.
A great deal of upheaval has stretched across two Domains. Rowland's fate now hangs on the balance of this encounter. Could you prove that her words are true by questioning these Kindred? Or is Ruby Rowland going to be prey for the beautiful and ambitious Kindred who would like to take the Gangrel far from California to face justice?
What do you do?

Post your inventory, including all weapons, in the next post that you submit.

Dark eyes land on the three women. Were these the ones they were looking for. Eyes move to Helen; the Savage had left the ball in her court for this. Giving the Reeve the chance to take lead, and Ale was waiting, not something she did lightly.

Ale travels lightly with a burner phone and about 2k in cash, no weapons

Helen walks straight towards the three sisters and waves at them.

"Hey, it's really Bill Hamleigh's girls! I've heard so much about you, so nice to finally meet you here."

She doesn't even have to pretend she's happy to see them... She is, if not for the reasons people would think she is. Helen makes the following question sound like playful ribbing, but it isn't, the look she gives the three kind of negates the chipper tone of her voice.

"You really should have told us you were coming to town, though!"

[Raul]

A night out on the town and a chance for violence? It's like they're speaking directly to this Savage's heart.

Raúl arrives a few moments after the Prince's car pulled away, dressed in a tailored suit of his own, black of course, with a maroon vest and tie. His skin takes on the warmth and pink of stolen life as he manages to spot the Prince and Reeve entering the building. Traffic's still a pain, even in this city. He picks up his pace to follow, dress shoes clipping slightly against the concrete and then carpet.

It takes but a glance before his Beast picks out the two other predators he knows and three he does not, the man making a beeline towards the Prince and her Reeve, stepping close enough to hear the false tone in Helen's voice. He glances between the two Vampires he knows, nodding curtly before he turns to look across the room to try to make sure that no one is paying them any mind.

Equipment: Several wooden wedges, burner phone, bill fold with 500$, handcuffs

Bookkeeping

[Seryna]

One of the women stands up. She is wearing a dark brown business suit. She takes a moment to look over Helen. Yet the two behind her rise more slowly than their companion.

"You have us at a disadvantage." The one dressed in brown states. "Who are you?"
"You really surprised us here." A laugh that almost sounds genuine.

The three women are not pretty. They truly do have severe, hatchet like features. Yet they possess a self confidence about them. The two glance around the bar and then return their attention to Helen. The women speaking only has eyes for Helen, keeping her eyes on her.
A look around the bar presents both opportunity and a challenge. The mortals are continuing to move around as normal. The couple are both looking at a late model IPhone, chuckling at something together. The taller one gently touches his date's arm that gives you a sense that the couple are close. The two men are seated on a path that you must pass to walk back through the front door. The mortals are oblivious to the confrontation - for now.
Yet every Kindred knows how a Breach can stain an evening with one thoughtless act.

[Alessandra]

And Helen dives right in. Ale had to respect someone who doesn’t screw around. For the Savage’s time was precious and she did not want to be wasting it in a cattle bar. So she follows Helen, glad to let her take lead.

Feeling a weaker Beast approach, she looks to see Raul, and gives him a nod. Was good to see he made it.

“A call or text would have been welcome, then we could have all gotten together for a drink. Better late then never?” cold, dark eyes staring at the women, the Italian did not smile though.

But she doesn’t introduce herself, or anyone else for that matter. Her name didn’t matter, at least, not yet. If these Kindred didn’t realize who was standing in front of them, pity on them.
