"Thank you, Signora Dupree. I look forward to meeting you again soon." He flashed a crooked smile her way.
Over his shoulder he could hear a very young sounding Kindred presenting herself to the Seneschal, trying very hard to sound like an obnoxious teenager. Trying way too hard if you asked him. There was something not right with that one. In fact...
But who would believe him? After his less than receptive welcome regarding the truth of the VII? Was it his fault these people wanted to stick their heads in the sand and just let it happen?
But now, maybe this place might hold a little fun for him. If he could hold it together long enough to have a place to have fun in. But, in an Elysium? Nicolo, really? Yet... What was the alternative? And he could be very wrong. And look so foolish. Or worse. He had a lot to lose.
Bella or Twist? Who would be more receptive?
He headed toward Bella who looked like she and Jason might be about to head out.
"Signora Inquisitor, may I have a short moment with you?"

After nodding an agreement to Kira, Asa gave his thanks to Ash to coming. Seeing Ms. Scotts approaching, a curious look gave way to tiny smile as she spoke. Is this how it begins? Asa nodded to Ms. Scotts, "Please convey my thanks, as well as my regrets that he was unable to attend."
If Icarus wanted it presented here, then he wanted it opened here, I'd assume. What an interesting dilemna.
Asa saw Lioni watching. He had been intending to ask her what she thought of Nicolo, but her attention made up his mind, and he opened the box.
All things considered it would have been rude not to.

Bella turns to face Nicolo with a smile. Finally, someone she knew who wasn't going to look at her like she was the freak of the party.
"Yeah sure thing." She turns to Jason. "I'll be back in a minute, Jase, don't get into any trouble."
She walks Nicolo over to a quiet corner where they could hear themselves and where no one else could hear them.
"What can I do for you, Nicolo?"

Nicolo
He moved to the side with Bella and lowered his voice. "Look. I don't want to start any trouble. I understand people here think I am a religious fanatic. That I jump too soon to action and think too little on analyzing things." He hoped he wasn't making a huge mistake with what he was about to say to her. God, please, don't let her report it back to the Cardinal if he got into trouble for falsely accusing an innocent.
"Bella – do you see that young Kindred talking to the Seneschal right now? There is something wrong with her. As Longinus is my witness, she is a pretender. I have no proof. Just an instinct. We must convince the Lady Seneschal to detain her and let you question her to find her to be VII or find her to be innocent. One way or the other..."
He held his breath waiting for her reply.
-----------------------------
Antoinette
Antoinette made her way quietly behind Quinton, trying to act calm and sophisticated, but inside she was screaming with excitement. FINALLY! Finally she could be introduced to the other Kindred in the city! She was so bored with being sequestered, and so excited about her new, well, it wasn't exactly a life, but not exactly a death either. She was just so excited. But she knew she needed to act properly, with some reserve. This was another test. Being a member of the Invictus was a steady stream of tests that you hopefully passed, or you were sharply corrected for until you passed, then you made your way to the top. At least, that is the story she'd been given.
She made her way around the corner and... Holy Shit! What happened? Daylight? No! She looked up to gage Quinton's reaction, which was no reaction, and she quickly tried to get a hold of herself. The light was so hot. Horrified, she looked down at her skin, expecting it to be ashing to the bone as Quinton warned her it would if she ever saw the sun again. But everything seemed fine. WTF. She looked up at the light and all around at the images. India – she recognized it from a previous trip. It all must be an elaborate illusion. Antoinette took a deep breath – it was hard to get over the fact that she didn't need to breath. And never would again. It made her smile.
"Can we go meet some Vampires? I'm dying to meet some!" She gave him a little smile to show him she was having a bit of fun. The truth was, Quinton was very serious and sometimes he scared the crap out of her. She still wasn't entirely sure when she was allowed to have a sense of humor and when he wanted to be all business. But she was sure she'd learn in time.

Twist wasn't surprised at Dog. She was surprised at Tammi Rose. Gangrel? Really? Well she had managed to rub her the wrong way within 20 seconds of talking and most Gangrel had an innate ability to do that, especially to Daeva. Thus, maybe it wasn't that surprising.
"Welcome to the city. As both of you are unaligned- Brandon Davis is your clan Priscus as well as the Prince's Hound. Get in touch with him and he will inform you of all the rules of the city. Any new Mekhet?"

Jason Andrews
"Me? Get in trouble?" I do have the audacity to look offended, even though I grin after a moment. "I'll do my best, Bells."
I'll wander. Catch scents. Could be useful if I ever need to find one of these people. She can deal with her covenant-mate and I can wander around and look pretty.

Tammi Rose
(Obfuscate 2 active)
The Gangrel shrugged her shoulders at the Seneschal's words.
"I guess I passed the whole like whateva of being one of the people in the like 4x4 then. Bombing!!! Looks like Heirophant's deaths are like neon tight shorts on old men. Like SO hideous you like can't look away when they happen, but once they're gone they're like so easily forgotten cept in your nightmares. Like last seasons wardobe. Looks like the Circle won't be my like my group of choice. AS IF they could like have my awesomeness. Now to just find a Baldwin to like play with tonight." She says not to anyone in particular, but loud enough for the closest to hear.

Erika just continues to blink at this gangrel. W. T. F. She breaks her silence long enough to move towards Asa and Mrs. Scotts, for both interest in the box, and to speak quietly, "Is she serious?" with a nod towards Tammi.

The pink spot was talking again.
Twist turned toward her shaking her head.
"Oh no, Tammi Rose. You most definitely have not yet passed my test. Unfortuanatly though, this party is not the appropriate location for me to give it to you. So, first I am going to finish acknowledging the rest of the new kindred to the city- and then you and I can retire to a different place. That will be where we find out if you pass or not."
She began to turn away to resume her Seneschal duties, but then glanced back again at Tammi Rose.
"So, don't go anywhere."
Resuming her turn, she began again.
"Nosferatu?"

Noticing Erika moving closer, and before Ms. Scotts could catch a glimpse, he closed the box. He hadn't forgotten that smirk at the Grindhouse. So impolite after my hospitality at Ballo Della Notte, Ms. Brady.
He made eye contact with Lioni, and then spoke to Ms. Scotts, "Again, thank the Mekhet Priscus for such a lovely gift for me, and my thanks to you for the delivery." Across the room he noticed new arrivals. Quentin? Plus one?

"Still waters run deep. But occasionally rapids can duplicate that feat. She's doing a decent job at playing So-Cal trash. We'll see in the future if its and act or not." she muses aloud. She curtsies, and is about to take her leave when she notices a mekhet tattoo on a shabbily dressed individual. She walks over to him slowly, her stiff posture melting a little as she looses some of her Invictus swagger.
"I'm Mrs. Scotts, of the Mekhet, and you are?" She asks, extending a hand.

Bella looks over at the Tammi girl, and nods. Yes, she agreed the girl was very suspiscious, but she could not really do anything unless the Seneschal gave her leave.
"Let me talk to the Seneschal and offer my services. If she allows it, then it will be done."
She makes her way over to Twist and leans over to whisper in her ear.
"It has been brought to my attention that this Tammi person is obviously off. I request your permission to take her into custody and hold her until you are done with your city business. Or, if you'd like, I will request the Sheriff do it as she has the station to do it legally."
She says this last with an apologetic smile.

He can't help but smirk at this Gangrel's inept social graces. Armand did take note of her name - Tammi Rose. If he ever needed to make an example out of someone, she would be a good target. Certainly no one would miss her.
Beyond that, he stayed quiet, waiting for the Daeva to be called.

Antoinette
Quinton didn't look too pleased. Had she done something wrong already? Damn, she didn't want to blow her first outing. But the prospect of moving deeper into the room and actually facing all these Kindred was suddenly making her feel physically ill. She was starting to panic and shake. If she completely lost it and bolted, Quinton would be incredibly displeased with her and she knew she'd be going home.
She closed her eyes, blocked out all the fear and willed herself to overcome it. Mind over matter. She could do this. She was totally tough. Opening her eyes again, Antoinette saw Asa, the Ventrue Priscus. She knew of him already, so that would make things easier.
"Can you introduce me to Asa, please?"

Kira
Obf 2
Kira excused herself from Asa and went to go speak to Ishani.
"Enjoying your evening," Kira wasn't sure what to call Ishani in this setting. She preferred to call her boss, but wasn't sure how it would be received by the other Kindred.
"You look lovely, by the way. Asa did a beautiful job, though his choices took me by surprise."

He smiled? He took my arm? No way. Antoinette was beginning to feel much more emboldened. The feel of his fine, silk suit against her cool skin was comforting. She could handle this. She could handle anything!
But the next question threw her for another loop. Jesus Christ. How the fuck am I suppose to know these things. You're suppose to TEACH me! But she didn't dare utter this out loud. Learning the Kindred and the Invictus ropes from Quinton was like taking a final for a class you never bothered to show up for all semester. And then knowing you were going to have to take the grade home to your very strict father.
"Umm, I really don't know Quinton. Antoinette of House Coeur de Lion? Of House Jones? Paige Antoinette? Antoinette, personal assistant to the most fabulous Q.J?"
She was a little frustrated, and the last one just sort of slipped out. She braced herself and waited for a crack across her face. It had happened before. She just sort of hoped it would happen when he took her home. That was so stupid. And unnecessary. Why did she do dumb things like that...

Ishani nods to Kira in greeting.
"Yes, it took me by surprise as well. My evening is going fair so far. Unless that one," she points at Tammi Rose, "continues to talk, then my evening will be shot to hell if I am asked to detain her. But, work always comes first. I see your friend came as well." She says, indicating Dog.
Ishani's phone buzzes, and she looks at the text coming in. With a smile, she closes her phone and looks back at Kira waiting for a response.

Kira sighed as Ishani pointed to Tammi, "Yes, that one could certainly ruin your evening. Why would you have to detain her? For being obnoxiously, irritatingly cheerful? I would think in that case, you would want her as far away from you as possible " Kira let a shadow of a smile slip across her face. She followed Ishani's gaze to Dog, "Hmm, yes, I suppose he did. Let's hope he behaves himself."

O-Yama looks at the Gangrel, the one who names herself Tammi. If he could bleed, his ears would be after the cacophony of words she shot out everytime she opened her mouth. Standing there, listening to her yap like an angry dog, he wanted nothing more than to take a katana and remove the annoyance's ever talking head. Moving a little closer to Ishani, but not too close as to violate her personal space, he whispers.
"Sheriff, do you think she will have to be exterminated? If that is the case, please, I beg of you, allow me the honor of shutting her mouth."

Ishani looks at Kira confused. "Have you not been listening to what she is saying? Spouting off about Heirophant Emma's death like that? It makes one wonder who she really is."
Ishani watches the "Gangrel" as she continues to yammer at herself. She considers taking custody of her right now, but she decides to wait for the signal from Twist.

Erika nods to Mrs. Scotts before she wanders off, and Erika resumes her wallflower position, sitting with her legs crossed, looking every bit the british aristocrat posing in the ruins of some ancient civilization.
