Ollie spent the afternoon skating around town trying to find a place to get some help. After the sun has set he finds himself on Arden skating past The Rage. Remembering that he'd heard something about it, he decides to check it out.
He walks up to the door. If they'll let him he brings his skateboard with him inside.

The doorman heavily scrutinizes Ollie's ID, not used to seeing a 23 year old port around on a skateboard.
"You can leave that behind the register and pick it up on your way out"
Inside the club, it's still a little early, but there are a few people hitting dance floor, if a little poorly. Through the lightshow you can see small symbols at various locations on the walls, and though you have no idea exactly what they mean, you can feel your very inner being tugged by them. _________________ ________________________

Ollie skirts around the dance floor, drawn to those symbols. He approaches one that feels more significant to him than the others. Staring at it. Reaching out a hand to touch it.

There's nothing inherently magical about them, but he feels they have some deeper meaning than just decoration. _________________ ________________________

Ollie sighs deeply, and looks around the room. He walks over to the bar and orders a beer. When the bartender returns, he asks him.
"About what time does this place usually get busy?"

"It usually starts picking up in about an hour." she gets you a beer. "The first trick to picking up women is to smile. You aren't going to get very far here brooding like that. Not that type of place." She smiles at Ollie. "two fifty please, and thats just for the advice" she grins again. _________________ ________________________

Ollie breaks into a grin, digging through his pockets and producing a crinkled 5-spot.
"Yeah, you're right. I've just had a serious kind of day, ya know? I'm just trying to make sense of it all."
He picks up his beer. "Hopefully this will help," he says, taking a drink.
Putting it down, he gestures to the symbols on the wall. "Somebody's idea of decoration?"

She hands you your change.
"I dunno. Guess the owner really likes it. My manager has asked him several times to change it, but he just ignores him. Some people really like it, some people are creeped out. I couldn't care less either way. Every club has got to have its gimmick ya know." _________________ ________________________

Ollie leaves the change on the bartop, a tip. He turns on his chair, to regard the symbols. "I kinda like em."
He sits there for a while, watching the place fill up for the night.

The bar starts to fill up a little earlier than expected. The music starts getting a little louder, and it's not to long before you see people starting to act as drunk people will, but you see nothing out of the ordinary. You even notice that your unseen senses haven't made anything apparent to you. _________________ ________________________

Ollie takes a deep breath and decides to try a different approach. Sitting on the bar stool he attempts to attune his senses to the threads of fate, but it isn't easy for him.
03-10 12:33:48 Ollie rolls 5 dice to Improv. Sybil's Sight Failure
3,6,7,4,7
03-10 12:34:31 Ollie rolls 4 dice to Improv. Sybil's Sight x2 Failure
7,4,1,1
03-10 12:35:06 Ollie rolls 3 dice to Improv. Sybil's Sight x3 Failure
1,6,7
He musters all his concentration into one more try.
03-10 12:35:42 Ollie rolls 5 dice to Improv. Sybil's Sight+WP (used WP) 2 successes
2,1,8,6,10, 6
Satisfied with his spell casting, he hops off the stool and moves onto the dance floor. Moving amongst the people, and bobbing to the music.

A middle aged dark skinned gentleman with dreadlocks walks up to Ollie
"You know, if you do that again, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. We expect this to be a safehouse." _________________ ________________________

Ollie seems confused for a moment. Then it hits him what the man is talking about.
"Oh! Right... Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm still kind of new, ya know? Actually I'm glad I found you. You are uh... that is to say..." he glances around, "...like me, right?"

He smiles,
"I am. You can call me Jammer." He extends his hand out. "I expect our business to slow down, seeing how Sacramento is going through" he sighs for for a moment and gives a passerby a sideways glance. "...issues" _________________ ________________________

Ollie relaxes a little when Jammer smiles, smiling himself and shaking his hand. "I'm called Ollie. I know all about Sacramento having issues, I guess, that's kind of why I'm here, but what exactly are you talking about?"
Noticing Jammer's glance, he asks "Is there a better place we can talk? You said this was supposed to be a safehouse."

He looks like he is concentrating on something for just a second, and then turns back to Ollie.
"Ollie...Follow me" he begins walking towards the back of the club. "I dont recognize the name. Are you an apostate?" _________________ ________________________

He follows Jammer. "Yeah! There's the word. Means I'm not in any of the orders, right? Yeah." He pauses. "Is that bad?"

A small grin crosses his face
"I don't know. Do you think I'm bad?" He gets to an office, opens the door and ushers Ollie in.
"Now, what can I help you with?" _________________ ________________________

"You seem like a pretty good guy, so far, Jammer."
Ollie enters the office, taking a look around.
"I spend most of my time over by Granite and Tanzanite parks. Since I, uh, awakened I've been trying to help take care of the neighborhoods, ya know? Some of the kids in the skate scene over there have it kind of rough, and can use a bit of good luck every now and again. Anyway, this kid Bobby asked me to track down his big brother Randall earlier today."
He pauses, takes a deep breath, and turns to Jammer.
"I found him by the railroad tracks. Dead. He was white as a sheet and his eyes had been pulled out. I looked back in time and saw the fucker that did it. I... I watched him eat Randall's eyes." Ollie shudders at the memory. "Kid was sixteen years old, he didn't deserve that.. I figured that I could get more help from other mages, if I could find them, than from the cops."

Jammer pulls out a pack of smokes while he appears to be thinking for a second.
"You smoke?" he offers you a cigarette and then lights one of his own.
"Just the eyes huh? A friend of mine who comes in here has talked to me about other similar problems. I wonder if they were around Granite Park as well."
He writes down a phone number. "His name is Jenner. Give him a call. He's a doctor at one of the hospitals here." _________________ ________________________

Ollie waves away the cigarette.
"All I saw missing was the eyes. I should have kept looking back, I guess. Seen the guy actually kill Randall. But I couldn't do it, ya know?"
He takes the number. "Thanks a lot, Jammer. I've still got a lot to learn about being awakened, but it's cool I can just come out here and find someone willing to help."

"He was real hooded up, like he didn't want to be seen. The only thing I can tell you is that if it was no normal guy. Maybe he was one of us, I really wouldn't know, but I don't think so. I wasn't even there in person, I was just looking back at what happened and I still felt like being in... it's.. presence was weakening me. Like it was sucking out my energy... It said; "these windows belong to me now," then it just plucked out his eyes and stuck em in it's face, or where it's face would be. Like I said I couldn't see it."

"Doesn't sound like any supernal I've ever encountered. If you decide to look into it, I would certainly suggest all possible precautions." He pulls his card out.

Ollie takes the card, casts a look at it, and sticks it in his pocket. "Thanks a ton for talking to me, man. I'll give you a call, and I promise not to cast anything else in the club, sorry again about that. I'll see you later, man. I'm gonna go call that Jenner guy you talked about."
Ollie leaves the office, reentering the noisy club. He waves to the girl at the bar who'd encouraged him to smile, and retrieving his skateboard, emerges from the club into the Sacramento nighttime.
Fumbling in a pocket of his cargo pants, he finds a scratched up old Nokia and types in Jenner's number. He holds the phone to his ear while he skates down the sidewalk just for the skating of it really.
