Continuation from this thread.

Any easy glance by Krieg would not that the lobby desk may have ha less dust in some places, but there were a few more things disturbed. The landline phone appeared to be used despite being much older than today's type of land phone. Cynthia would see that the cubby box behind the desk would be missing a few room keys.

It was also worth noting, that there was a narrow office door on the far side of the desk. There was a sign that said 'Office' on the outside of the door. It was a reasonable deduction that it was exactly what it said it was.

"If you wish to go into the office, I'd venture to say that there is probably a key with that set that will open this office door. Typically, there's the master key, main key and office keys on rings like that." Nodding to the one who held the keys. Vivian had a little glint in her eyes as to why she may know just a little about hotel keys, but her lips revealed nothing.

Krieg looked at the phone, recognizing it's decade, he announced, "That's from the eighties." He then added, "Interesting time period for technology."

Without a word further, he stepped over to the office door. One by one he tested each key until the door unlocked.

Cynthia glanced at the phone and shrugged. Not every place felt like updating their tech to modern standard. With how the place felt, a modern phone and a flatscreen would stick out more. Her eyes however drifted to the cubby. "More concerned about the missing keys. Looks like there maybe squatters after all."

The Priscus took a spot behind Krieg and tried to peer around him inside the office, the giant's sheer height made looking over his shoulder an impossibility.

Inside, there were ledgers closed and neatly placed in an orderly fashion on a shelf above the desk. Each had a year on them dating back to when the motel first opened in the 1950's. The office had no windows and was not as dusty as the lobby. There was a rolled up sleeping bag in one corner, a large antique safe was located in the other corner, the age was unknown at first glance unless one was well versed in antiques. Along one other wall were carefully tacked pictures along the wood strip, they appeared to be taken between the 60's and 80's, not in any order. There were many pictures that oddly were kept up there. It may have been for appearance sake, if anything. The key ring for the hotel not only contained the keys to the main lobby and office, but there would be three master keys which would open any of the hotel rooms that may have been missing any keys.

The Daeva smiled. “It seems that the previous owner or proprietors to the motel didn’t think that updates were needed, and what was in place from the eighties was adequate. Or, at least that’s what it seems to be. I know Sidor at least had some sort of simple cell phone, it was listed in some records that were associated with the motel.”

“Squatters are very concerning. Or could be useful…” She chuckled devilishly. “Do you see any signs of a break in?” She asked Cynthia inquisitively.

"Mr. Krieg, what are you seeing in the office?" Also very curious if any signs of a Masquerade breach may have been left to squatters or anyone else that may have found their way inside.

Krieg poked his head into the office.

"Nothing obvious other than the missing keys. I'll keep an eye out though." Cynthia replied to Vivian.

She joined Krieg in trying to find out more about the office. "Someone might have been squatting here at least." She muttered, seeing the sleeping bag.

There were a few items that seemed slightly out of place. Four ledgers, three recent, but one from sometime in the 70s. The chair was wasn't tucked under the desk like it should have been. A filing cabinet had a drawer slightly ajar. There may have been a few other things out of place, but these were the most eye catching at a first skim around the room.

Touching the side of the safe, but more like she was caressing it with a gloved hand, she gave them a detail she hadn't remembered earlier. "Now, in the records, I didn't see anything about the safe combination. Which is surprising, because you think that would have been an important piece of information." Vivian chuckled dryly.

Krieg's gaze shifted from the cabinet to the safe. "Would you be upset if it were simply wrenched open?" All three of them had access to Vigor, after all. "Otherwise, I can check the cabinet and see if there's anything of use in there."

**Cynthia Weiss** · Oct 26th, 2018 10:37 PM

Cynthia turned away from the sleeping back and shrugged at Krieg.

"Well if someone has moved it, we might as well see what they have been hiding. If we can anyway." Although thinking on it, she did find it hard to believe someone managed to move a safe into an abandoned building.

"Well, it is not for me to decide to be honest." Looking to the two Nosferatu. "Granted, its antique, so you may be able to easily hear the weights for the combination. But, if neither of you wishes to go through that or look for the combination, it's your call if you want to just force it open." She shrugged slightly. If it were her decision, she would wait it out, find something or call a locksmith. But, this was not her place and she really didn't think anything important was in there anyway at least to her.

In the distance, a vehicle may have been heard if one's senses were acute. There was a road that passed the dreary motel that may have been as popular as Route 66 back in the day. Vivian couldn't hear a thing at the moment, but was very interested to see what Cynthia and Krieg would decide on the safe.

Suddenly, the phone rang and loudly. Its tones archaic for their own current time, but probably not for the old motel. The Daeva was startled but didn't move to answer the phone.
