[Sblock]

OOC: Seriously though, I'm wondering what Meredith, Christopher, Gregory, Jack, Damsel, Skelter and the rest of them are thinking, especially Jack "Hm.. this is some serious political .. Ah hell, let's let the newbie Malkavian do the talking! He seems to have a good head for this kind of thing.".

[Sblock]But don't worry though, I Got This [/Sblock][/sblock]

The Cave 2:30am

Clover began to walk down the hallway, inspecting the doorknockers as she went. Though some were disturbing, perhaps meant to be frightening, she could appreciate the art of each.

At one that looked like the bust of a woman, she stopped and stared at it. Not wanting to give anyone the satisfaction of thinking that it drew her for any other reason, other than just being unique among the unique doorknockers, she called out to Lacey, "Hey look, this one could be your sister!"

Lacey goes over to Clover and looks at the doorknocker "Why yes!" she says, putting her hands over her chest. "She even has my skintone! She's bigger than the other knockers in here, should we find out why?"

The Brewery 2:30am

Koln listens to his words intently. The verbiage, the throaty noises, the cultured (in a literal sense, mind you) accent all fail to translate. Being the priest that he is, he only listens for one thing, the truth. Sense motive....

"Listen well, brother, I am a "recruit" for no man. I only follow our Lord's Divine Command..."

Father Koln then looks him right in the eyes from under his hat, and speaks very very truthfully, and differently. "I know a lot of things you don't... you will learn though. They all will..."

Then his tone immediately changes back to normal "But where your boys are exactly, I do not know. Perhaps try the police department? They're nice, and give free rides... always to the same place though. Or, if any of their names are 'Waldo,' perhaps try in a book."

Without stopping, Koln continues, as if this is all the same thought "And perhaps monsieur you would do well to know that lunacy, faith, and fire have something in common. They all fool the rational person into thinking they're in control when, at all times and in actuality and since ze Beginning, it controls them." His tone is non-threatening, but serious, and very cautionary, like a parent warning their child to not touch a hot stove.

Checking the aura, let's see This one's cream filling

Koln

The Sheriff's aura is a Pale Gray: dark thoughts, depressing thoughts, unclear intentions, presence of a dark side of personality. Also, you feel like he's bluffing about setting the building on fire, at least while he is still inside it.

Damsel steps forward and says "That's enough! Get the out of here before we tear you apart!"

The man with the sawed-off shotgun points it at Damsel and says "Easy now, this doesn't have to end violently. Just tell us what we want to know."

Jack says "Easy now, Damsel don't go getting your head blown off."

On Meredith's side of the room Skelter goes over to the wall where Meredith is and whispers to her "This place is going to fast, you and your friend over there should leave. Only way out is upstairs though. I don't know if the stairs up are the only way to get there."

Lacey goes over to Clover and looks at the doorknocker "Why yes!" she says, putting her hands over her chest. "She even has my skintone! She's bigger than the other knockers in here, should we find out why?"

Clover quirked a wry eyebrow at Lacey, speaking dryly, "Not all of them. Sure, knock yourself out." She swept an exaggerated gesture in invitation.

The Cave 2:30am

Clover quirked a wry eyebrow at Lacey, speaking dryly, "Not all of them. Sure, knock yourself out." She swept an exaggerated gesture in invitation.

Lacey says "Ha! I see what you did there! Now Clover, are you too shy to touch ano0ther woman. Tsk Tsk."

Lacey puts her hand on the knocker rather suggestively and then knocks it. There is a little clicking sound and the wall behind the knocker opens up revealing a compartment behind the wall. Lacey reaches in and pulls out a small lockbox. It's made of steel and is about the size of a jewelery box.

Lacey looks at Clover "Mind if I do the honors here? Oh of course you don't, you don't seem like the type of girl." Lacey reaches down into the front of her dress, giggling she says "Sorry, this is usually easier. Now where are you my little friend?....Ah, gotcha!" Lacey produces what looks like a small blue metal pen. It says "Dyno Kwick Lock Pick" on it. "This is my sonic screwdriver." she says, a mechanism on it produces a pick and Lacey attempts to open the box with it.

OOC: Ok, you dice roller!

The pick breaks and Lacey sighs, "I guess I didn't give it the right touch there. Let me try again." Lacey gets a new pick from her bag and replaces the broken one and tries to open the box again.

She manages to get it open. There is $100 in cash in there as well as a silver wrist watch. "Well well, looks like we have some goodies in here!" Lacey says smiling.

OOC: I would have given the pick to Clover but I know she doesn't have any ranks in Open Lock. also, technically you didn't do it, Lacey did. But I'll give Clover the achievement anyway because you thought of searching the hallway.

Clover gets the Achievement: Check Out Those Knockers! (worth 10xp)

 

[izillama]

OOC: And because I was such a good sport and played along, right?

Clover tsked derisively, "Normally, I think I'd encourage you to put it all back. But since they were so kind as to leave these treasures here to be discovered..." She shrugged, then nodded in approval at Lacey, "Good job with the lock. Now, let's find this party. At least we have a little extra spending money for cocktails now, yes? Put that money and watch away until we need it."

She took the box from Lacey, closed it, and replaced it in the wall and its compartment. When she closed the woman's bust doorknocker, she did so with a full push of her hand, looking sidelong at Lacey in challenge.

Lacey crosses her arms in front of her chest "Well aren't we a feisty kitty."

You both move on to the bar proper. At the end of the hallway is a swinging door, it squeaks on its hinges as you move past. Behind the door is a single, dingy room that makes up the bar area. Roughly circular, the room is damp, dark and the ceiling is crisscrossed with metal beams. The floor is bare concrete giving it the honest look of the interior of a cave.

A couple of high-backed wooden booths are along one wall, but the majority of seating is at tables. The bar along the near wall is small but well-stocked. A large, burly man with a few gray hairs is tending the bar while a middle-aged buxom beauty waits the tables.

The bar is mostly empty, a couple of tables have groups of mainly men, in twos or threes. When they see Clover and Lacey walk in some of them make cat calls while others snicker but most don't seem to pay you any mind.

 

[izillama]

Disquieted, but determined not to appear so, Clover drew back her shoulders and surveyed the room imperiously, murmuring softly to Lacey, "This isn't exactly what I was expecting. I think we might be a tad... overdressed."

Regarding the cat-calling men with disdain, she led the way to a table near the wall, perching herself ladylike on the edge of her chair and turning outwards towards the room, indicating for Lacey to join her.

Somehow, she had imagined walking into a sea of ugliness. But this was a little too... normal for what she had expected. Casually, she glanced around the room to take in what everyone was eating and drinking.
