    Bruce Harcourt.

    To some, he is a god. To some, he is a wonder. To some, he is a bore. To some, he is a dirty has-been who should crawl under a rock and die. To some, he is an opportunity. To some, he is a joke. To some... Well, they don't care that much - all they care about are the kick ass parties and what can happen in them.

    Colonel John Davis knows about those parties. He has visited the underground den, carved out of a portion of the tunnels under Old Sacramento. Like a spider, this patient Daeva has been biding his time, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

    An opportunity has come!

    Bruce Harcourt is hosting one of his quietly infamous parties. The Colonel was alerted when the den was cleaned, aired, and had some fresh equipment bought in. The news drifted out a little later: a word here on the street; a whisper in the criminal underworld; coded flyers in some of the clubs and venues of entertainment throughout the city; a mutter of disapproval at a charitable function; a rumour verified on a trashy celebrity feed.

    Time to bring Bruce Harcourt into the fray. John Davis JonReeves is already in play. Benji Theo Ashley Cohen Whisper this plot is also for you if you wish it. Lastly a tentative call to Riks Clara E. Verne if you wanted an intro into your Bruce Harcourt hunt this could be it!

    Theo checks himself real quick to make sure he looks good. Ha, what a sense of humor, Theo always looks good. But better to run down the list just in case. Blood flowing to all the right places? Check. No extra blood where someone might notice it? Check. Jeans? Shoes? Leather Jacket? No shirt? Check, check, check, and check.

    Lockpicks? No sir, who carries lockpics in this day and age?

    Knives? Goodness gracious! The very idea!

    Moxie? You bet your dead ass check.

    And hey. If Theo has his own way, it won't only be opportunity that comes tonight.

    Satisfied with his appearance and kit, he heads down for some fun and recon. He wonders who else he's gonna see tonight.

    John Davis

    Davis was aware that another party would be tonight. Tonight he would play recon. Hunters had invaded his domain. He was not one to easily disguise himself. His appearance and dress well known in some circles. He would have to make many changes if he was to blend in.

    He had picked up some contemporary clothes and shaved his facial hair.

    Attachment 5189

    The change in appearance so drastic the only thing that would give him away would be his speech. He willed his weapons into none existence beneath a trendy sports jacket.

    It was close enough, to the spot they were all meeting up at. Ashley pushed down the clutch and rolled to a stop. With a key turn, the engine was killed. Then with another quick press of the foot, the parking brake was one.

    The Lord hopped out of the jeep, though she looked like she had been driving a motorcycle. She was clad in black riding leathers that offered greater protection. She was adorned with steel-toe boots, supple leather gloves, and a utility belt. She moved with focus to the back of the jeep, swinging the door outward to get to the case in the back.

    Ashley undid both of the clasps on the plastic case, popping to lid open. She pulled the twenty-gauge from the foam, giving a brief inspection; ensuring safety and function. She pulled up a pouch that had the buckshot shells (perfect for parties) and laid it atop the foam. With a quick movement of her finger, she hit the slide release and racked the slide back. She loaded a shell and racked the slide back forward. With one in the chamber, she turned the shotgun upside down and loaded nine more into the magazine through the loading port. After it was good to go, she retrieved twenty more shells and put them into two ammo pouches attached to her belt.

    With that knocked out, the Lord checked some of the items on her utility belt. She pulled out the pepper spray, giving it a good shake, cycled the single strand, through the double-strand on the handcuffs - on two pairs of handcuffs, ensured one of the cuff-keys was in the pouch with the cuffs with two other keys located elsewhere, and her cell held a good charge.

    With all that shit knocked out, she adjusted the sling on the shotgun and threw it over her back. She closed up the case, closed up the back of the jeep, and paused for a moment - wondering what else.

    Fuck it...

    Ashley locked up and headed out to meet up with the others who had gathered for the fun.

    "Evening." Ashley said with a smile plastered to her face. "Looks like we are in for some entertainment tonight..."
    "Don't be pretentious, I am the truth."

    Theo takes one look at Ashley from across the lot, black riding leathers that were all but armor and the... shotgun. And ammo pouches. And utility belt. And pepper spray. And Handcuffs.

    It seemed that there were Bruce Harcourt Parties and Bruce Harcourt Parties.

    He felt distinctly underdressed for the latter, and he had assumed this was going to be the former.

    So he decides that he isn't with this person. He isn't going to be seen with this person. When someone goes 'oh god she has a gun' they won't also say 'and she was talking with that devastatingly handsome man getting blown over there, we should investigate him because clearly they are in cahoots'.

    Just waiting to see if Riks Clara E. Verne is going to jump in. Also paging Cross Lina Moretti as a late entry (chat conversation)

    Lina Moretti

    Little. Black. Dress.

    It might have been the sexiest thing that Lina Moretti owned, and she was pretty fucking sure that compared to most of the girls who were going to be at the Super Orgy Porno Party, she'd be a god-damned ghost. She had done her make-up to change her appearance to a younger version of herself, and throw off anybody who might recall her. When it came to being ravishing, there were other Daeva who had that on lock better than her. The dress was short-ish, but not short as in drawing tons of attention in a party like this short. It was designed to fit in. And, of course, conceal a small knife high in her inner thigh. A girl had to have protection, after all. A little clutch contained her cellular phone, a hundred in cash, peppermint chewing gum, and a bit of intimate warming lotion. Three inch heels completed the ensemble.

    As she slid past Ashley Cohen, feeling the Beast and recognizing the girl from Court, Moretti whispered, "Intelligence, not combat, love. Learn what you can about Harcourt and these people, and watch for hunting equipment. Also, the getup is hot as fuck," before smiling at her invitingly and moving on into the party. There was no need to enter together. That drew suspicion. Hopefully she'd take the hint that the shotgun wasn't the answer here.

    Go time! Bubble up! It was time to get happy! This was California, bitches!

    Fitting in while standing out: A thesis as writting by Clara E. Verne. The only thing you really needed was a drop-dead stunner look. Check. Second thing you could get, optional, were some fly kicks. Double check. She stepped out of an Uber firing off a last message before tucking it into a Gucci handbag Prince would approve of. Her expression was hard to read behind the dark spectacles, but Clara seemed to be surveying the land.

    Her gut tugged at the various Beasts in attendance, but she stifled the urge to act on her baser impulses. She made a point of avoiding the other Vampires and focused on the party. Who was here. Where they were. Maybe a few casual hints at where the blow might be. She got bored of this quickly.

    Second time around she settled into one corner of the room and injected herself into that group. Instead of vying for all the assembled attention, she'd focus on one group. "Hi! I'm Eliza. So, how do you know Bruce?"

    Equipped w/ cellphone and lotsa moxie.

    The press of other predators had her own ready to lash out. Ashley glanced down to the shotgun and playfully pouted. She took the time to go return the gun to the case and took off the utility belt, opting to put the handcuffs and pepper spray into a sleek black purse. With that good to go, she was ready to rock out.
