Stolen Blood Ch 1 Lighting the Candle

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer had arranged for a meeting with those who needed information about the very imminent threat of hunters in the Domain. She had asked for Liam to go and speak with Otto on his questions and to drive Otto to the meeting, which was located at Lotus.
"If you need to invite anyone to this meeting, I can pick them up." Liam offers to Otto. Liam will be driving Otto to Lotus.

Lotus was a two-story Salon designed to host meetings of intellectual nature. This evening, there was no time on looking at the art on display in the middle room or to stop in Jennifer’s personal office to speak on her extensive library of literature.
Liam would lead all guests to the large boardroom where a wooden table decorated in a table runner of Nosferatu green was in the center of the room. The table had a dark wood box segmented to offer writing paper and writing utensils in the center of the table. A corkboard situated at the west side of the room where all could see it featured a map of Sacramento. The Ridge Motel was indicated with a textbox and a red tack. Several cards and different colored tacks were on the side.
This is an ideal place to share all information about the mortals and hunters to formulate a plan.

Jennifer sat at the head of the table.

@Otto DamoclesImpaled

[Otto Schneider]

Otto was becoming accustomed to Liam. And he honestly couldn't tell how he felt about it. The competing views of ingrained Sanctified Doctrine, Ventrue noblesse oblige, and simple familiarity were making it hard to pin down his feelings or the Ghoul. But it hardly mattered, in the short term. He could work with the man. "Good evening, Liam." He greeted simply before stepping into the vehicle. "We'll be stopping for one more, tonight. Mr. Azoth will be at this address..."

The Ventrue Priscus will be awaiting the Mekhet patiently in the car, and once they arrive at the Lotus follow behind the more junior Kindred into the Salon.

[Kylar Stern]

Kylar arrived to be picked up at the location he told Priscus Schneider. Seeing the vehicle pull up he made his way to the vehicle and before getting in gave Priscus Schneider a proper bow. "Evening Priscus." Kylar Stern says as he gets in and shuts the door. "Where are we headed?"

[Jennifer Hazelton]

The Seneschal looked up as the Priscus and the Mekhet were escorted into the boardroom by her Ghoul.
"Priscus Schneider." A deep nod was given to the Priscus of Lords. This nod reflects the standing that Otto Schneider currently enjoyed among the Kindred of the Domain. Respect had been earned by the Ventrue and Jennifer was observant in demonstrating proper etiquette regarding respect.
"Azoth." Jennifer gives the Kindred a very slight nod appropriate to the standing of one Acknowledged in the Domain.
"Please have a seat and help yourself to the supplies. If you have locations that should be added to the Map, please do so.

"I want this to be a place where we can share information with one another. This is a time sensitive situation. While we slept the Day away, Mortals were continuing their machinations.
Behind me," Jennifer indicates the cork board. "- is a site that Liam informed me of being relevant.
"Thank you, Liam. As you were a witness to some of the events, please feel free to remain in order to supply information as requested." The ghoul made a small nod and stood by the door. He was present to give responses to what he had observed, likely to assist Otto in recounting events.
