    The night of the exploration arrived, and, one by one, so did the exploration party. The chosen entrance: a tunnel leading to the combined sewer system beneath Sacramento proper.

    Please write an entrance including: equipment, what/how your character will be searching, and what, if anything, your character did to prepare. I will then post to move us along.

    Jennifer's preparation would be to investigate nearby areas for any sign of construction. Were one to be found, she would take down the address. Were no buildings or proposed sites in evidence, she would simply take a building near the proposed exploration. Many municipalities would do this over the phone.

    In case someone would not give her the information, she contacted a temp job site and inquired for a temporary assistant to visit the department of building and safety and make the inquiry with the address she had taken. A map would be produced and the counter person would provide measurements for a 'lost sewer' to ensure that any construction work would not contact the sewer. Jennifer would of course, attempt to get as much information or maps as she could to get an idea for the exploration.

    The evening of the exploration, Jennifer presents herself with any gathered information about the sewers secured in a waterproof binder in her go bag. Jennifer wore reinforced clothing from her time as the Reeve's assistant, complete with sensible running shoes are worn. The Nosferatu wears a flesh colored scarf that is carefully pinned in place to cover her neck and collarbones. Another scarf is tied in a trendy style over her neck.
    The Nosferatu has brought her backpack with some things. Her cell phone with a spare battery in special watertight bag. Also in the bag was a throwaway wallet with an expired credit card and $100. Some fluorescent marking tape, a box of chalk, a notebook with grid paper and an attached reading light, several pens and her special emergency tool that broke out glass and could cut seat belts. She had padded her digital camera with long range lens inside a padded camera bag at the top of the bag.


    She had clipped a small but powerful flashlight to her belt. A mace canister was also clipped to her belt.

    Dirt Nap spent the week before prowling around in the form of a coyote above ground familiarizing himself with any notable scents in the area, and as a racoon down inside the sewers. He did not go far into the underground, only making sure the entrance and immediate area down inside are clear.

    The night of meeting, he waits just inside, having entered in racoon form and changed to his human like form unseen in the darkness.

    Rifle. Phone on silent. Jeans, boots , denim jacket and a work shirt. NO cowboy hat.

    A reconnaissance task was simple enough. His companions seemed eager to see and learn, look but not touch and that was fine by the Lord. He came similarly equipped as before, though in the time since their last gathering Jacque had spent a great deal of time researching the nature of the infrastructure itself. If they were to delve into the sewers, he wanted to know what to expect. How and when they were built, what materials would have been used, how inlets and outlets would have been aligned per the geography and what building codes dictated as minimum distance between access points.

    He bowed his head to the Lady Notary and a quick nod to Dirt Nap before gazing around for the others to arrive.

    Curse

    Past her Albinism, Alice is naught but a doll, beautiful in her impossible perfection. Taking on a inescapable sheen of artifice, both movements and manner seem, hollow and fake. She's nothing but a marionette, limbs jerking and twisting as if pulled by invisible strings.

    Marring her unnatural beauty are her eyes, or the lack of them, vacant pits of visceral horror.

    Alice Hart was probably the least prepared of the lot. This wasn't really her adventure, she was simply here to....supervise.

    She comes much like she had previously. Jeanes, with a leather jacket zipped all the way up offering the most protection. She had been skewered too many time to count and it wasn't pleasant. Sunglasses covering her eyeless sockets, not her nice ones. But ones she wouldn't hate to lose if it came to it. A bowie knife sheathed obviously on her leg, and her small little fang hidden at the small of her back.

    This time however she came with her cane. If they still wanted her to lead them, she didn't want to hinder their efforts more then her blindness would already do so.

    When she arrives she greets the silence, their Tranquility has the Wraith content beneath her bones.

    The night before she had crept down to the room underground where Davis had been living and made a copy of the old system on the wall. She had also gone into the city hall. She pretty much had the run of it and the guard knew her well. She had taken pictures of all the old sewer tunnels and anything else under ground she could find. Finally, she went to all the entrances she knew about and checked to see if they were still functional. After all, they may need a fast way back up.

    Mable had her backpack ready for adventure. She was wearing black hiking shorts with black leggings and black hiking boots. She had on a black tank top and hoodie. Her hair was pulled back in a pony tail. Upon arrival she realized she was the only one with a visible beast. Damn, she needed to finish practicing so she could hide her own.

    Equipment:

    In Backpack: a fireproof blanket, flashlight, hunting knife, twine (100 ft.) a dress, notebooks, pens, forestry questionnaires and clip boards, small work tablet with internet/wifi access, l
    ipstick, Chapstick, small aerosol hairspray, lighter, matches, hair elastics, bobby pins, safety pins, wallet with State ID and City Employee ID, $50, Victoria’s secret credit card, Business cards, and Cell Phone on silent.
    On her wrist was a green bracelet watch phone that connected to a little earpiece. On her ankle was a little silver colored braided bracelet.

    She gives Dirt nap a friendly smile as he shows himself.
    "Good evening. How have you been? "

    To Jacque, she gives a respectful nod.
    " It's good to see you."

    Another, deeper nod, was given to Alice.
    " How are you doing this evening, cousin? I must say, I like the jacket. I should get myself one."

    She touches her outer layer. Much different than her A - line dresses and formal wear.
    Jennifer is not in charge here and doesn't make presumptuous statements.

    With all members present, the descent began. The sewers of Sacramento are a patchwork thing. The group finds itself ducking to avoid the thin modern pipes clinging to the low ceiling of a hundred-year-old tunnel, and half an hour later, they stand easily at full height — wading through the surprising girth of the overflow tunnels.

    Then, there is the vast lattice of ancient streets and storefronts from the end of the 19th century, when Sacramento lifted itself one story to combat flooding. Condemned tunnels and erosion fill most of these.

    Make a roll with some narrative for what you're doing in the tunnels. E.g. Mable cross-checks her map with the surroundings. Or just a general Wits+Composure is fine. Five extended rolls please.

    Dirt Nap samples the earth as they go, apparently attempting to determine something or other by the quality or texture or maybe the smell of it. It's not clear. In any case, his powers of being a Trained Observer seem completely focused on the ground they are walking on.
