While Edward has just begun the evening, Edward Heinrich is surprised by a man who approaches him politely. The man, who wears an outdated suit, is holding out an envelope of fine stationary. He presents the envelope to Edward respectfully. The sun has just yielded its domain. How had this courier found him so quickly?
"Mr. Kowalsic would appreciate the pleasure of your company." The man says softly. His eyes are kept lowered, he doesn't quite meet your eyes. When you accept the envelope, the man discreetly moves into the flow of people and moves away. The envelope is addressed to Mr. Heinrich on the outside. Opening the envelope reveals a hand written letter on expensive stationary.
Mr. Heinrich,
I hope this finds you well. There is an important matter that I require your assistance with. I loathe to commit this delicate matter to paper. Please meet with my childe, Miss Isabella Kowalsic, for the details. She will be awaiting you at [address] tonight at 10:30 PM.
It would be prudent to mention this delicate matter to no one except those working with you. I will be approaching Dirt Nap to see if he will work alongside you. I do hope you will work well together.
~ Mr. Kowalsic
You know that Mr. Kowalsic is a valued member of the First Estate. The rumors you have heard about Mr. Kowalsic, of the line Nosferatu, had been passed about and occasionally in conflict with one another for some time. It is said that he has killed someone to protect the Masquerade. That he has an army of ghouls under his command. One Unaligned who passed through insisted that he heard Mr. Kowalsic was recognized for his good deeds. Yet the departed Mr. Kelly whispered that he’d hear the problem had been dealt with – brutally. What could be true? Certainly, one of these has to be an over exaggeration or outright lies. Regarding Miss Kowalsic, you know that she is the childe of an influential First Estate member, Mr. Kowalsic. Miss Isabella is young, still under the tutelage of her Sire. She is often sent as a proxy by Mr. Kowalsic to relay his regards or feel out a situation.
The rumors around the childe are fewer. She is polite at Formal Court functions, but always seems to be on business for Mr. Kowalsic otherwise. There is a rumor that she has a sharp mind. Her Sire keeps her close to him to oversee her education.
The time is 9 PM, giving you about an hour and ten minutes of free time before you need to transport yourself to the address – if you choose to go. This could be a prime time to run down those rumors or look into any possible events that could have triggered this summons.
What does Edward do?
