Isaac sits holding his teacup and staring at the closed door with his mouth slightly open. He eventually pulls himself together.
"So I assume that was the Prince. I must say her Highness has a rather magnetic presence. She mentioned missing nobles and a Heer Damwicher in particular. Perhaps some of us should work together to find out what happened to them. It would be the neighborly thing to do for the community even were there not mention of a reward from her Highness. It could also be a good way to get to know each other!"

Isaac turns towards Torsten's desk.
"Torsten do you know of this Willem Damwicher and if he is a cainite? The Prince mentioned him specifically by name so I assume he is of greater importance than the missing nobles."
Jul 6, 2020 8:21 pm
Enki bows as the prince enters and after she leaves he turns to Issac and nods in agreement.

" While we are present in the Princes domain it is the hospitable thing to do"

He waits patiently to see how the others respond.

Thorston looks up and focuses for a moment and then says " Um Mr.Damicher was a local map maker I believe...well on his good days anyways. He was a Malkavian neonate, brilliant mind but a little over zealous at times." He starts to write down an address on a piece of paper and holds it out. "This is the location of his office that doubled as his haven, your best off starting there."

He seems to search through the books looking for information, without looking up he says " three nobles so far have gone missing, of them 2 were local. It is odd they have no known ties to Cainites but prominent nobles disappearing here is bad for everyone, brings unwanted attention."

Godfrey takes the address and reads it. Once he is finished he walks over and tosses it on the table for the others.
"How very interesting. So what you are saying is that if more nobles go missing then they cainites shall start taking blame? How fickle mortals are. Very well. I bid you all farewell." He bows and makes his way out the door.

A figure enters in Godfrey's wake. On first glance, you'd swear she was human. She is an older lady, wearing a linen toque and a fur-lined houppelande. She looks around the room and her gaze settles on Finn, then Thorston.
Approaching Thorston, she extends her hand and says "Greetings Keeper Thorston. I am Ilza Volkova of Clan Salubri."

***As Ilza enters Finn sits forward in her seat. Waits for her sister to address herself with Thorston and then beckons her over to the group. Not addressing anyone specifically she motions towards one of the chairs

Dear, could you please pull a chair closer for my dear sister.

***She turns her attention to Isaac,

We are in the Prince's home. We should definitely help her as best we can. It is the least we can do for her while within her Domain.

As Auzilie made her rounds and addressed Duccio he bowed in response to pay his respect and hid the brief brittleness in his smile at her comments before smoothing out his facial features as he listened to the news of missing nobles.

"Troubling business indeed, and Godfrey it is not that the humans will blame us first it is that there are much troubles that could arise should the masses start to take notice of things they are happier not." Duccio mused while taking a good look at the address as the new woman arrived.

At Finn's request Duccio quickly brought a chair placing it next to the seated old woman with a smile, "Most certainly after all it is the good thing to do for ones neighbor."

Ilza approaches the table and sits down in the offered chair, snagging a cookie on the way. "Thank you, dear. I have come late to the party, I see. What are your names, please? And what is this about humans taking notice of things best left unknown?" She takes a bite of the cookie and says "Oh, my dear Finn, these are always delicious. Tis a shame you do not make them more often."

"Leonarduccio Esposito, a pleasure Domina Ilza. The world can be a terrifying place once you can see all of that is in it, most people want nothing to do with that and live with their heads down... With these missing nobles people might get inclined to look up."
Jul 7, 2020 3:21 pm
Enki glances at the new arrival "It is good to see how many of you have survived in these cold nights, it seems we having a missing Cainite and some missing nobles. Myself and Issac are going to go find our missing Cainite....is anyone here a trained tracker or of the inquisitive type that could assist?"

Enki paused for a moment and looks down at himself and seems to sigh. He takes he robe and turns it inside out revealing a alternate tunic less ornate and more practical and draws a bear of glasses and puts them on. Suddenly his face and flesh seems to ripple and contort revealing a more welcoming and well groomed face. His tattoos seem to vanish leaving behind a porcelain skin. he glances back at the crowd appearing as someone almost entirely different.

"There I should blend in with the locals more now" he smiles

Isaac's jaw drops open and he stares openly while watching Enki's transformation.
"H...how...did....."
Jul 7, 2020 4:46 pm
Enki grins at Issac and says in a coy tone "Oh dear Issac there is so much more the gifts of Cain allow you to do. This is just the beginning of a world of fantastic opportunity."

Gwynne nodded along with points raised by Isaac and Enki. When the paper was produced, she looked towards it with interest, but did not make any move towards it.

She waited for Duccio to introduce himself to to Ilza before saying her own name with a polite smile.

In response to Enki's question, Gwynne seems to take a second to gather herself, and, though she looks nervous, responds "I'll go with you."
Jul 7, 2020 5:42 pm
I am able to help dear. I am of the inquisitive type.

Also, Thorston, when you have a moment. I would like to request an audience with the Prince when she has time. My sister and I would like to discuss the reason for our presence in her city before we make our way back East.

***Finn stands and straightens her dress.

Geoffroi dear, please bring my cloak.

***Another tall slender man comes through the door carrying Finn's cloak. He appears to be of stronger build than Lukas. He is adorned with an empty sheath. He holds the cloak open so that Finn can slip it on.

I shall retreat to my chambers at the Oude Kerk if anyone should need me.

" I will bring it up with the Prince when she is free and send word Finn." He smiles and goes back to writing

Anyone that plans to either look for the missing Malkavian or Investigate the Missing nobles please let an ST know so they can add you to the groups for the Scene Thank You.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Leonarduccio Esposito, Gwynne. Missing nobles, you say? Let us aid these Cainites in their search for answers, dear sister. We may learn something useful."

Ilza stands, looks around at the others in the room, nods, and sweeps toward the door.

"Well it seems like I will be heading in the same direction as you dear Finn I would gladly escort you there if you so wish. As much as I would like to help look around Willem Damwicher's estates I would only get in the way, I think checking in and seeing what news I can drum up elsewhere seems the best for me." Duccio said as he lazily stretched out after standing up, "Also if either of you two sisters are in need of anything while you stay at the Oude Kerk do not hesitate to ask."
Jul 8, 2020 3:49 am
Enki claps his hands together and heads for the door he speaks as he is walking "I suppose we should get started then"

"Indeed its best to get to it! Perhaps on the way you can fill me in on some more of what to be wary of in our world."

Kristophe watches all this happen, but does not speak. He seems to be considering the Prince's words. "It appears this lovely city is not as quiet as it seems. An interesting mystery is underway, I'm curious if anyone will like what gets found."

He stands and considers for a moment then seems to come to a decision. "Well I am not so we'll versed in tracking. But should those looking find something of interest I will do what I can to help beyond that. In the mean time I shall attempt to take in more of the city." With this he turns with a dramatic flare and takes his leave.
