After Arundel (OOC)

Yeah, I think that’s fun :) As far as I can remember, the only private residences we’ve seen Benji enter so far (other than his own) are Bev’s (who explicitly invited Benji and Rhiannon inside) and Lizabeth’s (who we can assume invited Benji into her home at some point before the story began) so I think it works with the story thus far too.
Benji only promised to call Teddy back if he found Elliot, right? Since he didn’t find Elliot, I didn't think there was any need to call Teddy back… Unless you were referring to a different promise that I’m completely forgetting about :P

Yes, that was deliberate to allow for this lore.
Makes sense that she would have.
Nope. That's the one. And agreed, no need. Hence all the qualifiers and quotes.

We do already have an Alasdair [ref]. It might become confusing to have two... but I get the feeling this one may be temporary... and a fake name. Anyway, he prefers to be called Sinclair, or just Sin... for reasons he thinks are 'ironic'.

Are you sure you want to do that? They are a gentlemen's club and, even in 2024, women are not allowed to be members, and it has been made pretty clear to Emma that they expect her not to speak until spoken to. Being 'disruptive' is more likely to get you tossed out (in the rain) than to miraculously get them on your side.

If you choose to keep this reaction, roll Keep Your Cool to avoid ending this meeting prematurely. (We will provide another avenue for you to learn something if we have to.)

On a Miss you offend them enough that they have you removed (or attempt to, you can, of course, resist (and they can, of course, call the cops if you do)).
On a Hit they are offended, but you apparently have enough value that they make concessions for your lack of couth and speak to you more.
On a 10+ ... I don't know... what do you think Emma is offering them? What value would they gain from allowing your rudeness and disruption to their club? You may still have to smooth things over (with a Persuade, maybe) before they would let you stay and berate them in their own club, or one of the men (you can choose which) may take you aside (as the women tried to do) and speak to you privately.

You are not in a position of power here, and are being rude. :)

What Benji is trying to do feels like it could be Mislead, Distract, Trick maybe but I'm not sure so I wanted to check if that seems right before I make a roll

Nice. I can't respond right now, but do you have a preference about what happens next? It seems like you want to stay here and have them begrudgingly let slip answers?

That could work.

The challenge is that they are, apparently, quite good at their job, remaining unseen so far, but maybe they did not factor in your vampire sense, or there is a new shift on duty, or something that allows you to expose a weakness and create an opportunity for you to catch them in the act.

Mislead, Distract, and Trick won't reveal much, by itself, you will need to exploit the weakness or opportunity to really learn more. No matter what, a hit will confirm that you are being watched, and probably confirm that Lizabeth is the primary target.

Roll it. On a Hit (7 or above) make your choices if you can, and narrate what you do to use the weakness/opportunity/whatever to learn something. Provide as much as you want, I will be back later and can take over. If you want to talk over the implications of the choices (you don't have to make them all at once, and exploiting one may lead to the other(s)) we can do that before you post.

I rolled a seven! I'm inclined toward 'you create an opportunity' and 'you expose a weakness or flaw', as neither of the other two make much sense to me in this context. I would think that Benji is going to be 'further entangled' with whoever is spying on him no matter what, since there's no reason that luring them into following him would stop them from continuing to watch him.

'You confuse them for some time' doesn't make much sense either... Maybe not selecting it means the opportunity created is short-lived and must be acted upon immediately?

I would like the opportunity to be an opportunity to confront them, if possible. Maybe 'expose a weakness or flaw' means he gets them in a relatively vulnerable position or else he notices something about them that gives him an advantage. Would that work with your understanding of the situation?
