He Who Lurks Beyond The Veil
Okay moving along. I'll assume that since Jack is experienced agent he's not going to do anything rash, just slowly put his hand on the handle of his gun.
Init order:
John 22
Liz 21
Eddie 17
Italian guy 15
Mickey 13
Lotka 12
The Others in bar 5-9
The new man 5
Jack 4
John draws his gun carefully without anyone noticing and points it to the bald man. Liz commands the man to drop his guns while Eddie eases his jacket to give him faster acces to his gun. The italian man almost obeys Liz's command but regains his composure and points the other gun from Lotka to Liz shouting: "Shut up doll, somebody better explain who you are!". Mickey moves to stand next to Liz, and Lotka contends to continue the game. The bartender drops behind the counter. The lady in red in the corner moves her hand under the table while at the same time the young girl screams and her lover pulls her behind the table. The bald guy follows with same move with his girl ducking behind their table. The big man follows Eddie's example and opens his jacket to reveal a gun. "Hell no." answers Jimmy to Eddie's question and takes cover behind him. The neat man on the other end of the counter seems to do nothing. At that moment a new man walks through the door, looks around the set and shakes his head. He is dressed in a pinstripe suit and carries a cane that has crocodile-head grip. He sighs, looking at the italian guy. "Vito, Vito, Vito, what are you doing scaring these innocent people?" He speaks with a strong russian accent. He mumbles something under his breath and suddenly his eyes glow red. Jack carefully puts his hand on the handle of his gun.

Elizabeth's gun is in her purse, the only place she could put a peice as big as the walther. The girl's brow furrows in concern as the guy's eyes glow freakily. He's powerful. Probably more powerful than me, at least right now. as she recognized the accent her eyes narrow.
A Doompriest.
Elizabeth looks at the man evenly. "He drew his guns without provocation and started yelling incoherently about some sort of nonsense about a hand. Crazy. I mean, everyone has one, don't they?" she said with a smile.

"Nor do we wish to reveal ourselves to those who are not savvy to what lies beyond the gray veil." she said in Russian, her voice calm and strange.
ooc
Gray veil-> cant speak for the supernatural.

Jack watches the (non)reaction of the Neat man at the bar to the Italian's outburst with some suspicion, but forgets about that when Crocodile Cane enters. He immediately gets a bad feeling about the Russian and his hand instinctively goes to his Browning. Once Croc's eyes glow red, Jack knows he has his man and takes a long moment to concentrate on committing his every detail to memory, while pushing away from the table so he can be ready to stand if need be.

"For the seekers who walk in the twighlight, there is knowledge. For the seekers who walk under the false dawn there is wisdom not sought for." she said, still speaking in russian, speaking the casual greeting of one who is not yet an enemy, but not precisely an ally either. This was the cant speak of those who truly walked the paths of the supernatural and the paths of magic, whether arcane or divine, it was one of riddles and inuendo and half truths not spoken. Only one growing up knowing how to speak it could understand its true meaning.
