Los Angeles: Blood Moon (VtM V20) - ❌💀🟩ch11-the-f-blood

Chapter 11 Location: Tremere Chantry Players: Sophie @Nuria [Sophie] ST: @!Yr Hyennaes (Tash/Kris/Agnes) Previous scenes: -

@Nuria [Sophie] Sophia was instructed with very little information: chantry address, Regent's name - Maximillian Strauss, Prince's name - Sebastian LaCroix, and.... only that she was called to get there as a little assistance if needed and her further study.

Sophie headed to the adress she was given. She contemplated the doors for a moment while she gathered her courage. "Well, here we go." she muttered to herself. (edited)

16:56

She knocks on the door

No one answers. But the door slightly opens, the girl heard the click of opening.

She opens the door fully and heads inside

A well-lighted hall with carpeted floors almost awaited Sophie's arrival. Wooden arch that separated this small room from the rest of the chantry was emitting some strange energy. Beyond the arch lied a hallway leading further into the unknown.

She walks through the hallway warily.

In front of her was the same carpet as before. Like breadcrumbs, it led into the intersection leading three ways. Purple wallpapers with strange symbols were following Sophie, watching her every step, and giving off very unsettling aura that could be felt in every corner in this place.

She tries to investigate the symbols

To Sophie's knowledge it was some kind of warding spell, but what kind, she couldn't tell. The intersection awaited her.

She took the right path. She just likes the right more.

The path to the right was looking the same: purple wallpaper, carpet and eerie presence of the unknown. Only one difference was standing out: at the end of the hallway was a turn to the right, lightened by the same lamps as the rest of the chapel.

She goes to the turn and keeps going.

Sophie found herself walking near a wooden arch. The hallway, in which she was standing was ending with an intersection leading three ways.

She goes right again.

The path to the right was ending with the right turn, lightened by the same lamps as the rest of the chapel. Everything looked the same, apart from a small purple particle that flashed for a moment under the light of the same looking lamps.

She goes through the middle path this time.

Something once again flashed under the light. Purple particles that now started to appear in the air, were leading deeper into the unknown hallways of the chapel. The air was filling with something, that was welcoming. The purple path eventually led to the large double doors.

She knocks on the doors politely.

After the knock the doors opened by themselves. The room, that was lying in front of Sophie, was dim lighted, comparing to the rest of the chapel. The only source of light was a fireplace in the far side of this cabinet.

- Managed to find your way in, young one? Good, - said a figure in a red cassock. He was sitting on a sofa right in a middle of the room. - Come in, - he said that in a very indifferent manner.

Sophie steps inside and bows slightly, lifting her skirt. -"Hello, I am Sofía López from the Valencia chantry. You must be regent Maximillian Strauss, yes?"-

- I am, - he nodded, - you are here by my request. LA is a pretty welcome city considering kindred, but we have a lot of problems that unfortunately deal with our business too. Your... Skills, especially advanced would be of a great assistance.

"I am at your service for any assistance you might need, and I look forward to learning from you and developing my skills."

- Of course. You need to be acquainted to Prince LaCroix. I could give him the note you're here, but it's up to you. Do you want to meet him in person or do anything other? It could be a tricky question, but it was not.

I do believe he'll want to meet me in person, he should know everyone in his domain, after all.

Strouss chuckled a little. - Yes, Of course it is, young one. Ventrue tower is just at the corner. You will not miss it. Do you have any questions to me?

She giggles slightly. -"He called it Ventrue Tower? I would be curious to meet the other Tremere of the city. Also, would I be expected or allowed to stay at the chantry? It is the safest place in Los Angeles, after all."

- WE call it ventrue tower, - he explained patiently and smiled a little, - all that building is in sole property of LaCroix's company, so that it is a ventrue tower. He stood up, accurately checked the outfit and walked to the exit. - Come with me, Childe, you are most welcome here, - he hinted that he already has a room ready for a new tremere.

She nods. - "If you could show me the library too, that would be marvelous." - she added.

He smiled approvingly. - Ah, straight to the sweetest part, good incentive. I will let you there, just go introduce to the Price then first.

- "Of course." - she nods - "I shall go right away." she bows slightly and turns to leave.

He went to show her the room. It was a little but comfortable one on the second floor. A some point you could call it cosy. - Will wait for your return, neonate, - he smiled.

- "Thank you, sir." - she smiles back, turns, and heads to the Prince.

Recap: Sophie arrived to the Chantry and introduced her to regent. She was granted the room inside the Chantry and after the introduction to prince will get the access to the library.
