Session 1/First Vassal

Sep 21, 2022 11:16 am
OOC:
Ok, everyone tell me how your character found out the vassal might be supernatural.
Bastile Group
Multiple documents organized neatly cover the desk. The beige walls in the light look like a dark tan, the plaque with Thomas' name shines as daylight hits it. Then a phone plays its ringtone, its sound filling the previous stillness.

OOC:
That was Bella's vassal question, wasn't it? I believe the answer we got to was just that nobody should be walking off this many cases that easily, if he wasn't supernatural he was definitely being protected by powerful people for some reason, and then Frida met Rin who showed us all that he was a Vassal using her occult stuff.
Sep 21, 2022 12:49 pm
OOC:
Okay then, start off the scene.

J.Tom looked up from the case book he'd been skimming and left his pen in the crease of the open book to hold his place. He checked the jacket pocket of his suit coat, folded immaculately over the chair next to him, thinking the phone might be in there. No luck. He lifted a stack or two of paperwork before finding the phone underneath the opened flap of the casebook he'd been using. Sliding the screen open to answer the call he made a mental note to look into hiring a receptionist, Bastille Group. J. Thomas Evans speaking.
How may I help you?


OOC:
The Bastille Group offices are in what used to be a two story historic home in one of the newly gentrified sections of New Orleans. A big brown brick house, surrounded by boutique clinics and office spaces reclaimed from homes abandoned in the wake of Katrina.
In a more remote and uncivilized time it would've been home to a well-to-do cotton merchant or riverboat owner; these days it housed a scrappy, upstart law firm.
It sits on a wide street with curbside parking and old-growth trees - that even Katrina couldn't topple - replete with copious strands of hanging Spanish moss to set the mood of 'the Old South'.

"Hello, is this J. Thomas Evans?" "I'm Gabriel Alicio." a male voice answered, "I need legal support, my boss fired me for no good reason and said I harassed female coworkers, even though it's a lie, they fired me still!", you hear them could muttering about something, "I'm planning to sue him, but every lawyer in the business district is too expensive or just outright denied the case, please will you take the case?
Sep 22, 2022 1:02 pm
J.Tom retrieved a pen from a drawer and scribbled down the particulars onto one of the ubiquitous yellow legal pads as he rested the phone in the crook of his neck, We're not specifically a labor law office but we'd be glad to hear the particulars of your potential case, Mr. Alicio. Case reviews are completely free even if we don't take the case or you choose to use another law office. He waited a few seconds for any questions the potential client may voice before continuing, Feel free to drop by our office or schedule an appointment time and we'll see what we can do about your claim.

"Okay, I'll schedule an appointment then, at what time are you available?
Sep 23, 2022 3:36 am
Feel free to drop by anytime between 9am and 6 pm. J.Tom answered. We should have an associate ready to interview you during office hours.

Insurance4u Offices
The honking of cars on the road is several, while many people walk on the sidewalk. The Insurance4u building is a modern office for its employees, there are more windows than actual walls. The door on the front is a normal glass door leading to its reception.
Sep 23, 2022 1:05 pm
Rin looked at the building, instead of her regular clothing of a sweater and jeans skirt along with the ribbons that tie her hair into twintails, she is currently wearing a blouse and skirt set with her jet black hair tied into a bun to look as proper as she could, her suitcase with all the claims on compensating of damages and insurance claims as a representative the neighbourhood association in response of the damages and deaths after Katrina. Sure, it is sort of her first job for the organization but at least from her parents, it is a far better thing to do than researching materials for her supernatural blog as it can help in the rebuilding of the neighbourhood after it almost got turned into a park... at least that is the excuse she can use for this Vassal.

She walked into the building, and to the receptionist. "Good Afternoon, I am Irina Hijikata from the Broadmoor Improvement Association, I do think that we have an appointment at 2:30 pm ?"

Jessie can at least pull themselves together into a cheap suit and a ponytail well enough, and after some makeup wipes, he looks reasonably... normal. Ugh.

He follows behind Irina, letting her do the talking for now. They'd either sound too nervous, or get pissed at someone, and depending on how today went, either could mean trouble for the whole team down the line. Besides, she knows what she's doing more than him with this whole magical otherworld thing.

Receptionist
"Let me check.", says the receptionist, she browses the schedules of multiple managers, "Ah here, 4:00 pm, Broadmoor Improvement Association Representative." "Just go left, then if you see the maintinence closet, turn right and you'll get there."
Sep 23, 2022 8:23 pm
J.Tom followed along behind Rin & Jessie, briefcase in hand, as they entered the glass fronted building. Clearly post-Katrina construction given the all-glass front, the office complex was a crisp and modern contrast to many of the Antebellum buildings that still graced New Orleans.

He nodded to the receptionist as the group filed past the front desk and down the corridors. "Nice, new office space..." J.Tom mused to the others as he adjusted his cufflinks. "Insurance companies sure like to make an impression."
Sep 23, 2022 10:03 pm
Unlike the others, Frida looks anything but professional, wearing ripped black jeans and a Ramones jacket over a white tee. It does however look great. She is here as a secretary to type the official documentation anyways.
Out of consideration for Mr. J though, she has taken out all her piercings, went scant on the makeup and is using a normal colored wig.
"Based on what we've heard, there's certanly no lack of money for it." She whispers slightly.
Sep 23, 2022 10:22 pm
"Asshole can keep it. Our office is nicer, it's cosy." Now that they're in, Jessie pulls the hairband out, revealing his hair's full colours, and begins loosening his tie and top buttons. "Couldn't pay me enough to dress like this all day, anyway. Yo, Rin, what's this weird magic doorway look like anyway?"

"Guys, I didn't mean for you all to dress down...." J.Tom chimed in. "In fact, just being yourselves might make a better impact and just leave the double breasted button down look to me. I can do the "all business look" and you guys can cover the "I lived in your buildings" look.. He smiled at the lot of them, "You just be you, alright?"
OOC:
I still need my sheet approved to post as J.Tom.

Insurance4u Offices
As you pass the maintenance closet, you all see a bright blue glint in it, surrounded by the cleaning tools used by the janitor. The noise of all the people nearby overpowers the soft sound it produces. If you look more closely into the room, you see the glint is bigger than you initially thought. It's a portal to the otherworld, just as Rin said.
Sep 24, 2022 2:40 am
Rin just look at the maintenance closet, with an affirming look at it. This is the same portal that she saw back then when she and her parents went to deal with the damage claims and almost fail to make the company accountable. "Just like grandma once said. If there is corruption, you can find the "door" to the castle. nearby.."

"Is everyone ready?" Rin looked at the rest, holding tight on her heart locket, this is the first Vassal out of many in NOLA for the group to take out.

(OOC: on the sheet need both approval and check if anythings is working properly)

Cracking her knuckles, Frida lets out a smirk, licking her chapped lips, ready to rumble.
"Can't wait to put this guy on his place. You ready Jesse, Boss?
Sep 24, 2022 2:59 pm
"Ready as we'll ever be.... the lawyer shrugged.
