Approaching the office, Joseph decided to inspect it in order to present the building plan and possible escape routes. - So the Sheriff lives here?

Sitting in the Sheriffs' office and looking at Roxanne, Vincent would be sweating, if he wasn't a goddamn walking ugly corpse. Can the bitch know? No, she can't. How? Somehow. Who knows? Shit, that girl was really good, need to repeat all the crazy we did. Focus. Don't let her read your face. Where the fuck is that Lunatic? Why would they need him for?

Vincent ICEberry

Sitting in the Sheriffs' office and looking at Roxanne, Vincent would be sweating, if he wasn't a goddamn walking ugly corpse. Can the bitch know? No, she can't. How? Somehow. Who knows? Shit, that girl was really good, need to repeat all the crazy we did. Focus. Don't let her read your face. Where the fuck is that Lunatic? Why would they need him for?

"Oh, hello again, Vincent. I trust everything went well enough after I left?"

- Oh, it's you! Yeah, everything is fine. Who's that guy with you?

"Another fledgling, a 'Gangrel' I think he called himself? Let me introduce Joseph."

- Joseph Park, a gangrel from Woodland Hills. The prince said I could find the sheriff here. The only job he offered was hunting werewolves. Who can I find out about them from?

05:26

Joseph affably extended a strong hand for a handshake.

When heard about werewolves, Roxanne got all the attention to Joseph with big eyes. - If LaCroix wants you to hunt the dogs... Alone... That's a bad sign. - Alex dear will you take care of our guests counting. I'll check out new one. Of course that meant they will share info later.

@Joseph Park @Shadsea

- A bad sign? My sire hinted that they were dangerous, but it's kind of like going for a bear. If you prepare properly and know the weaknesses, then it is quite possible to catch. Weakness for silver is not a myth, right? Since I joined the kindred community, I wouldn't want to sit around doing nothing. I think the Prince knows what he's saying, since he's in charge here? (edited)

Getting up to greet the guys was a man that was bordering on Appearance 6 through magic means. This was Alex a stylish face of a Tremere. A man who's calming sheep like demeanor hid a wolf behind it. Bringing the guests in he stopped when wolves were mentioned. The midwest born city boy had a blank look on his face as he asked. "H-Hunting werewolves? Ok ok ok how about we leave those bastards before. I have seen what Lupines can fucking do when they piss you off. Did you know that they can fucking tap into phones, they can teleport, and some of them are just naturally good at parkour? I lost my fucking friends to them because the Prince of Chicago decided to put a bloodhunt on all Lupines. I'd say we leave em alone and if they are harming the other kindred then just stock up on silver... A fuck ton of silver."

- It sounds serious. Werewolves with magic, which are worth watering with silver...maybe someday...Okay, do you have another job for a hunter?

Silver magnate liked at Alex: - I currently supply Houston, they have problems...

Looked*

Alex was very uncomfortable and jittery as he talked about Lupines "They are lethal and were created specifically to hunt us and things more dangerous then us.... Look lets focus on the Sabbat issue." he'd hand a note book filled with notes on the haven bombings, the foundary, and all the recent sabbat stuff (from Alex's point of view) to Joseph "The sabbat have been blowing up havens and elysiums. Even though many of them are dead there are a good few out there. Including one we-" he pointed to Roxanne and himself "Tried to capture."

- Sabbat? Oh, Sire told me about them. Kind of like religious terrorists, right? Need to track down someone in particular? Taking a vampire alive was a novelty for Joseph, but if they are so dangerous and ruthless, then why should he worry about it? Joseph had killed animals, but what if he had to shoot a man? Although vampires are already dead... (edited)

Idiots. Completely fucked in the head. Werewolves, huh? Poor doggo wanted hunt for them. Watch out to not become the prey yourself instead. How smart of Alex to say that instantly. Better try to lure the werewolves onto the Sabbat. Though it may be more dangerous and we may lose more Kindred trying to do so instead of just dealing with Sabbies on our own - Alex, if the Sabbath are blowing up the havens... Where do they get the explosives? Yeah, they can freely smuggle it, but anyway they need to get it from somewhere. The security regarding this is especially tight after 9/11. You guys heard of it, right? Don't think you're that old to not know about it.

She interfered the talk. - They were not blown. They were burnt. Explosion on the city is way too catchy, so I guess it was just to weaken our position, not to attract too much attention of the mortals. There's someone smart behind all this shit.

- If they use fire, it means they have enough fuel, but at the same time, they definitely do not live near the source. Is there an inconspicuous place with a large storage facility in the city? - Joseph mused.

- It depends on why do you need that.

- Well, of course I'm not an expert in religious terrorists, but if I needed to set fires, I would stock up on combustible substances. However, since vampires are vulnerable to fire, it is better to keep such things away from yourself, but in a place where it will not be searched for.

- Makes sense. I know many spots like that. I have a transportation company after all, - she showed the office where they talked. - Wanna go check? That would be of a good thing to do.

- Of course! Finally i do something useful. By the way, since I'm here. I know about traditions, but are there any things that are better not to do in order not to have problems with the law in the kindred society? (edited)

- Don't be a dick! - Rox answered right away and laughed.

Joseph's face stretched into a smile. I like her, the man thought. - Understood. Where is this place?

- Well, if my presence isn't needed anymore, I'll say good night. Good night, Kindred. And Vincent left, glad to not have received any kind of trolling from Roxanne. Guess her lookalike won't be needed tonight (edited)

- Good night, friend, - trying to be polite, Joseph said.

- Good night Vincent, - Rox said and turned to the rest. - So I guess we can spend some time on this case, what about you? - She turned to Luca, - Do you know anything about Sabbat in LA?

He shook his head, his hands in his pockets. "Nothing, ma'am. I've only learned the word last night."

- So what do you do on a daily basis?

"I'm a consultant with the LAPD. Or I meant to be, anyway. I'm not sure what becoming a Kindred will mean for that."

- Do you still have your contacts there? That would be just very useful. Especially if you'll be able to get some more info on the fires in Elysiums.

He nodded. "I'm on friendly terms with the coroner's office and a few officers as well."

- That's great! Are any of them actually your ghouls?

"....what's a ghoul?"

- Okay, I got it. We'll discuss it later. For now what would be great to know what are police notes about the fires. Will you be able to do it? Now she was not that sure.

He shrugged. "I don't see why not. Anything in particular you want me to look for?"

- Yes. [She named the Elysium addresses]. These buildings were burnt by sabbat as we assume, so first, wet need to know what mortals have on that, and second, we should not attract not attention then there already is. The Masquerade thing...

"I'll be discreet."

- Great! - She passed him a business card with the number.

05:09

- Do you know how many malkavians are there in the city, Luca?

"At least three?"

She shrouded. - You, Alister and... Your sire? Anyone else? Rox narrowed her eyes. "At least" wasn't good enough

Luca shrugged. "Possibly my Sire's sister, though I have no way of confirming that. I only know that she is Kindred."

- Can you arrange us a meeting with her?

"I suppose, yes. Shall I?"

- Yes please. That works be a good thing to do. We, - she looks back on Alex, - still need to know all the Kindred of LA personally if it's even possible. And what about your Sire?

"That's.... A good question. I have no idea where he is, or where he went since I i saw him last. We didn't part on the best of terms...." He left out the part about Vinni attacking him during a black out.

- Okay then. I guess I'll better all that question to your primo. I don't have anything to add yet so far, - she looked at Alex.

Watching over the conversation and taking notes Alex looked up as he say "I don't have anything either really."

- Okay then. Do you need anything from us? - That was a strange question, but Roxanne thought it would be polite to ask.

Luca gave a sigh. "My sire has been... less than forthcoming with information about this Society I've been forcefully inducted into. I can feel it, in my heads. I need to drink soon. Where should I go?"

- Depends on what you want, - she shrugged, - there are many ways to feed and I do sell human blood. Not the plasma though. Blood.

"I'd prefer plasma bags. My um... my Other..." he seemed embarrassed to admit, "will most likely want to hunt. Probably young, attractive women."

She grunted in a chickle. - Hug. Then better talk to your Primo. I definitely don't have time to babysit the... khm... malkavian. She wanted to say 'crazy', but just didn't.

- Hmm, it looks like having friends in the hospital is vital for kindred, - Joseph said. (edited)

"Understandable, have a nice day."

"Maybe we could just drink her blood? I wonder how she screams?" @Luca Rossi/Robert Meechum

Luca turned his head to the side and whispered, "Not now. We still need to talk." He looked back at Roxanne and smiled innocently. Nothing weird here.

- So I assume you're up to checking the place? Can not do that alone. Too dangerous and not really effective. If you gets lost, there will be no use of your life loss too. She tols Joseph.

- We can go together. I'm not a scout, but I know how to be secretive. I have a rifle, but maybe we should be quiet. Sire taught me how to release my claws. I hope it helps, - Joseph replied.

- You can go with Alex. I still need some stuff to run.

- Then I'm ready to move, - Joseph said decisively.

Recap: Rox and Alex met new Kindred: Luca the malkavian and Joseph the gangrel. Luca told there are 3 malkavian in the city and maybe also his sire. Joseph was about to find a new job so knowing about sabbat lei him offer to search the old warehouses across the city.
