Los Angeles: Blood Moon - ❌💀labm-d1-the-revolutioners

Day 1 Starter location: Frederick's temporary Haven Players: Frederick Bauer, s2 @Frederick Bauer, Alexander Montferrier, s4 @Slinar [Alexander Montferrier], Alex Kennedy, s4 @Alex/Sofie /Stefan ST: @!Your Hyennaes (edited)

Soon, Frederick is in his temporaly haven. As he spots computer, he goes to check the messages.

There are a few messages. One of them states that if your girlfriend is not happy about the size - there's a great solution... Another one goes from Mary Goldberg with the phone and letters "A. K." As the phone holder name.

He types the numbers into his phone, calling the person.

A man with a nice baritone picked up and Frederick heard a Hello.

"Gutten Abend, Herr Kennedy, i was told to call to you about the Elysium incidents"

The sound changed a bit getting a slight echo. "Oh? Well it looks like my group slowly expands... It's nice that you know my name but I don't know yours. May I know your name?"

"My name is Frederick Bauer" he says. "Detective and mercenary"

"And I am Alex Kennedy: the sexier nerd." There was a chuckle as he shifted a little. "I hope you don't mind but I put the call on speaker so my friend Alex Montferrier can hear us talk."

"For sure...well, i wanted to ask where to find all Anarch nests...dens...havens..maybe i would find it useful in my quest"

"Mmmm saying fancy terms like that over an insecure line... Are your sure you'd want to do that? You'll never know who or what is listening." Smiling widely Alex began talking in riddles. "It may lead you to be taking your Last Round maybe you should go to the club and have a moment to reflect."

"Got it, well, it was nice to meet you , Herr Kennedy" he sayd "Maybe i will call you later" he sayd.*

"See you and stay safe... I'd love to call you again. Maybe you can meet my brother and we can work together. But anyways we are both busy men... Anyways see you soon." With that, Alex hangs up.

He then calls his trusted friend in police, Ron Donnovsky

A few long calls of waiting, and a familiar voice answered. - Donnovsky.

"Hi Ron, its me, Frederick" he sayd. "Do you know something about the club called the Last Round?" he asked.

"Ei, how are you doin'? Yes, I know the place but kind of... Not our business in there, you know?"

"Well, doing good...what do you mean not your bussyness eh?"

"C'mon, you're not a boy, you know there's are some places our higher just don't touch... For different reasons"

"Well i need some info about it...like, its a legal estabilishment and such"

"Yeah. You can find it in internet database. But I'm sure no real entities there. Guys like this don't like to be that public."

"Ok, danke, well, how is your wife and your little Kinder?"

"Eh... All good. Waiting for the second. Rough times ahead", - he chuckled.

He chukles too a bit. "Well, i think you will raise them greatly, maybe one of them will be policemen too..well, gotta be going" he sayd "See ya maybe in Saturday in that tea shop, you know which one" he sayd and hung up.

"Sure! See ya."

He then searches up the database and enters the name , The Last Round in it, hoping to find out something interesting before he will head up in there

The place was in the database. Seemed all good there, no special notes, active business registered on some guy with Spanish name.

Well, he puts on his coat and hardened boots, normal black tshirt, black trousers, and hides the bowie knife and pistol. Then he heads to the street, searching for cab that could get him in there.

-- "The Last round" https://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/16/15705/Downtown_LastRound.png (edited)

"The last round" bar was placed not on the main Street. Bauer would need to go to a really bad part of the city close to a dead end with hobos. Didn't look like a fency place after all. Outside only the banner could give the idea what's the door is about.

Stepping out of the car as soon as it arrives, Alexander looks at the surroundings, searching for a lookout.

Parking the car and stepping out of the driver's seat, Alex had a little look around as he put his hands in the pocket of his black suit.

The Tremere looked at his comrade, an smiled beneath the mask. It has been too long since he has worked with someone, and it was heart-warming to be able to rely on someone.

Soon,a cab arrives. Frederick stepped out, looking around.

// @Slinar [Alexander Montferrier] @Alex/Sofie /Stefan

Alexander looked at the new coming silently, only nodding toward him, his expression inscrutable beneath his mask.

08:30

Wearing a satchel, and white ribbon around the wrist, he could have been anyone, or anything.

Alexander looked at the new coming silently, only nodding toward him, his expression inscrutable beneath his mask.

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "Gentleman...its nice to see you in person finaly" he says with a smirk.

He stared at the new coming. "Herr Bauer, it is a reciprocate pleasure. What do you expect to find here? Or should I say, how would you proceed ?" he asked, extending his hand toward him.

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "I would proceed gently...what if it was sabbat who burned down the Elysiums" he sayd as he accepted the handshake

"I find it far too easy to blame the Sabbat. And the implications of such a thing would be daring. Plus, I don't think the Sabbat would just burn thoses places, he would more likely leave corpses, and very daring Mascarade breach... But I'm no expert. I don't have a opinion until I don't know more details."

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "Well, thats why we are in this place, to get the info we need to find the suspects"

"Any precautions we should take ? The Anarchs of this City are violent?"

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "i am here just for a little while, so i dont know...well, my gun and knife are ready"

A satisfied groan was heard from Alexander. "I too have a stake and gun. Where were you before LA if it's not indiscrete ?" he said, before designating his satchel.

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "No...this is my first time in LA and whole California" he sayd."But was in New Orleans"

Shaking Frederick's hand the more handsome Tremere smiled as if he was about to say something before he asked. "Wait you guys are armed?"

"Yes...in case anarchs were too much hotheaded on us" he says, smirking.

"Yet you admit all that infront of their elysium." Alex smirked back

"Well, i think i am right with that theyre are to much hotheaded, am i right?"

"I assume so. But we are here to just... Talk" Alex gave a crooked smile to Fred.

"Shall we ?" he says, before going to the door and entering.

Loud rock, cigarette smoke and beer smell - this is the atmosphere of the average good bar. At that time there were not a lot of people, about a dozen and almost all men.

Alexander has gone straight to the bar, looking around for the most tough looking foes, those that no ones dares go near. When there, he leaned his arms on the bar, looking at the barman. Turning around, he began to look at all the men, one by one, looking for a vampiric aura, beginning of course by the most impressive of them.

He looked around as he entered, having cold face. He looked for anything suspicious.

Alex looked around. Staying calm and sitting at the bar giving that award winning smile of his as he lookedaround.

There were two guys standing close to the stairs, both of them were vampires. Especially it was supicious that they watched all the new faced coming in too. One of them - latino in blue t-shirt, about 35, Kennedy saw him a few times and heard the name - Nines Rodrigues. The second - much older bearded punk-ish rocker. Both almost stopped talking while the new faces appeared. For Frederick except of these two almost all the visitors seemed suspicious - bikers, truck drivers...

@Alex/Sofie /Stefan @Slinar [Alexander Montferrier] @Frederick Bauer

Gazing at the two man, Alexander tried to look up in their aura, before looking around if there was not a hidden threat, someone "easy" looking but just hidden in the commoners.

It looked like the community here is pretty much known and some gazes towards the new guys, well, you, were probably the same suspicious as the looks back to them. They both definitely were vampires - pale auras were pretty much speaking for themselves. Both were careful and a bit tense. At least the guy in blue. Still the rest was about calm. Second man was more intrigued about the ongoing stuff. He felt here like home. Free and self-confident.

He was just looking on them,not saying a word.

Seeing that the other two didn't go, Alexander stood up from the bar and goes straight to the two man, holding out his hand toward them. "The name is Montferrier, Alexander Montferrier. We're looking and searching about the recently burned up Elyseums." he said, with a blank voice.

The older one pointed his finger a bit at the newcomer and laughed pretty openly. - Oh damn, and you're here to blame US? - Seemed he is fairly laughing out of the whole situation. - Name's Nines, we probably need a good conversation with LaCroix if he is so loud about this statement, - continued the other.

@Los Angeles StoryTeller (@!Your Hyennaes) - jump "Watch your tongue..." Frederick sayd.

The handsome tremere shook his head. "We are not here to blame you fine gentlemen persay but more just trying to find leads. After all we are two cloistered nerds who never leave our dorms so how would we know what is going on on the streets. So why not ask the faction that runs the streets?"

"After all you are the ones who dont like others in theyre...territory much"

Looking at Jack, "That would be the easiest way to do, but no. I'm looking for the truth here, because I think that it is a threat for all Kindred. So, do you want to answer some questions ? Or even help us ?" he asked.

11:52

"Or do you prefer to just sit back and laugh at what happens ? I'm fine with either." he pursued, arms crossed.

Jack smiled at Frederick. - Oh, they brought a dog on a leash, huh, okay, don't bite, not all people here like the look of blood, he-he. Not right now at least, - he added. Nines turned to Kennedy. - Well, if you didn't do it, and we didn't do it, - he shook his shoulders, - by the way are you sure it's not someone of yours? I checked just recently with my people. None yet caught my attention as a suspect. More of that. We removed a pack or at least a part of a pack of Sabbat a few nights ago. Do you know anything about that? - See? We already helped you, - Jack added, - but frankly, sitting and laughing is way most of what I do lately. Pity I'm not that fond of popcorn any more.

"You should try blood clot." he answered to Jack before turning to the other Camarillistes.

"Mmm now I'm craving blood soaked popcorn. I used to know a good Elysium back in Chicago that used to do that. Anyways it's not cam for all we know and now we know it's not Anarchs... Which leaves us with Hunters, Lupines or Sabbat."

"If it's hunters, it must has be done by day. Can we check that ? If you take me to the places, I could search manually for clues."

"I mean go ahead. I know the locations since I hang around different elysiums a lot."

he hands out a little notebook and a pen.

Alex scribbled it down and passed it to the other Alex.

- Lupines... - Nines interfered, - they would not do that, probably won't leave even their green places towards downtown. And fires - definitely not their style.

Alexander goes out and take a cab, going to investigate the places.

Alex joins with because he knows the locations.

Before stepping out, he lets out a : "Thank you for your time, Nines and popcorn guy."

- You ever need popcorn - call Jack, - was thrown at his back not very loud and followed by a low laugh.

"fick dich und deine kleine Fotzenfreundin hier" he sayd and goed outside.*

Once outside, Alexander looked at the other two fellows. "Shall we continue tomorrow ? And meet up at the Toreador gallery owned gallery?"

"Yes we should meet up tomorrow. I need my rest."

Once outside, Alexander looked at the other two fellows. "Shall we continue tomorrow ? And meet up at the Toreador gallery owned gallery?"

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "Oh, we are going to visit Roses? Sounds good"

2

"..."

"Yes, yes we are."

"Alex, we're wasting time I think. You can see that's not my fit those kind of interrogation." he began, a honesty in his voice, as he begin to scratch his hair.

12:40

"I'll investigate alone, and join you later tomorrow. I'm best at that, and the danger... Well, we're all in danger if we're too slow."

12:40

"Plus, I'm not a known face around, I'll drop the mask. The Sabbat wouldn't recognize me even if they're watching us now."

12:41

"Can you trust me with that, kine sorcerer?" he asked, holding out his hand toward Kennedy.

"Yeah, I trust you." Alex happily shook his hand but as he did Monty can feel that Alex's grip was strong... Conserningly strong.

"Plus, I'm not a known face around, I'll drop the mask. The Sabbat wouldn't recognize me even if they're watching us now."

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "My dear friend, i was hunting Sabbats in Brasil, and i will hunt them now...if you are in the danger"

Alexander shook his hand with normal strenght.

Letting go Alex gave a stretch. "Well... It was nice meeting you fine gentlemen but I'm hungry and the night sky is slowly getting brighter. So uhhh. See you all tomorrow."

"Let's just exchange email adresses before that. And do you happen to know a Nosferatu, or someone I could go to ask some informations, Alex ?"

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "Oh...a Nosferatu, interesting"

"I've seen that you are a hunter too, Herr Bauer. It will be my pleasure to guide you to our prey so we can purge them together." he said, shacking hands with Bauer if he allows it.

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump He accepts the hand "Sehr Gut" giving him a light smile.
