Azrael pulls up to the front of the building, taking several moments to carefully look around (via Auspex: Heightened Senses). He will visilibly shiver before he gets out of his car, locking it as he exits. Wordlessly and only nodding at anyones comments about the scenery, Azrael will locate the door. He stops for a moment only to sniff the air and hold his hand just over the door before inserting the key into the lock and turning it. Once inside, he will walk around quickly examining the various contents and only briefly looking at the contents of the library before he finds a chair to sit down in and address the room. "Alright, here we are. We need a plan before we go into the place and who is taking care of what part of the investigation. I see this as three parts. Primus, we have the physical evidence that is left behind. Secondus, the unseen evidence at the scene. And, Tertius we have the outside scene, any possible witnesses that might have some information. The outside scene will be the hardest, this isn't an outsider friendly neighborhood. Any thoughts?" Azrael leans forward slightly as he waits.

Constantino's car pulls up and he is let out. His driver waits until he's inside and drives off.

Constantino keeps his mouth shut while waiting for Azrael to open the door of the dive. And once inside does about the same thing as Azrael, only he picks up the locket and looks at the inscription and examines the ring. After doing so he looks into the seemingly empty space to where the wraiths are and smiles. "Well, at least we aren't alone here Azrael. As for a plan, let's hope Mr. Campbell and any others join us soon. I don't really think the two of us will get very far alone. I think I can cover any recon needed on the area, the pit, without too much difficulty but going further than that would be stretching it right now. I'm most interested in what went on at Milicent's home. Any real investigation has to start there in my opinion."

"Ideally I would use two people to investigate the house and leave up to two here to keep things organized. However, I think we have only oursleves and I still feel that this is incredibly time sensitive, especially in this neighborhood. You mentioned that we aren't alone. I assume you will be able to bring their resources to this investigation so we can easily keep an eye on this haven while we both go to the crime scene?"

'Well I'm sure that won't be too much trouble. I think they may come attached to the place, kind of a built in security, in actuality we are probably guests in their homes."

Constantino again picks up the personal items. He looks in the direction of the wraiths.

"Would the two of you care to have a small conversation with me? Seeing as we appear to be bunk mates, i figure its only polite to get to know each other. My name is Constantino and this is my associate Azrael. We are in need of a little assistance. We have some work to do here and hopefully a few more people will join us before all is said and done. We just wanted to make sure that you are willing to assist us. Mostly by protecting this house and warning us if there are intruders in the area. We would of course reward you for your services. I have several friends that share your condition, and all of them will tell you that ingratiating yourselves to me can do wonders to ease you burden. So what do you say?"

(OOC for ST: Going to try to keep things cordial without the use of powers for now. Should they resist I will impose a little will, let me know if we need to do any testing. thanks)

Having needed to "tie-up" a few personal loose ends, Kalie arrives late and seemingly on foot (ooc for ST: it is located a few blocks away). With a little investigating of the grounds before hand she finds the unlocked door and goes in. A quick glance around the place is all she takes as she walks towards Azrael and Constantino. As it seems she has walked in on "something" (though she is not for sure what that something is) she remains quiet to not distrub.

(OOC: Sorry guys I am at a conference this weekend and haven't been online hardly at all to join the scene before now.)

As Kalie walks in, Constantino glances at her, and then back to the wraiths. Listening intently as they share their stories.

"Mary, Silvia, this is Kalie, she will be assisting us as well it appears. We'd all like to thank you for your cooperation, and we'll try not to be in your way too long."

Turning to Azrael

"It appears that they are very willing to keep this place secure. They indicate that the house is known to be haunted among the gangs of the neighborhood. I'm guessing we will have little trouble conducting our business in privacy."

Constantino sits on one of the beds, still playing with the trinkets.

"So Kalie, glad you could join us. Is Mr. Campbell coming with you? Or did he decide to blaze his own path?"

(OOC: welcome to the scene charlie! And no need to appologize about a conference, we understand that real life comes first.)

The hum of a strong engine can be heard outside the place. It grows louder as it gets closer, then dies. Sabre steps out of the car and walks to the trunk. He walks to the back of his car and pops open the trunk, then quickly pulls out two large duffel bags. He slings one over his shoulder, and carries the other in his hand. He shuts the trunk quietly, then looks around to see if anyone is watching him. Satisfied with his examination of the surrounding area, he makes his way to the entrance to the lower level.

He quickly descends into the depths of the basement and drops the first bag on the floor, then gently sets the other down. He looks at the other 3 and says, "Sorry I'm the late arrival. I stopped to grab a few supplies and stuff."

"Now that everyone is here, we can formulate the rest of the plan. Azrael and I were talking about how we plan to investigate Milicent's holdings. But seeing as how you Mr. Campbell are going deep cover, and I assume Kaylie is joining you, how do you all want to start with your piece of the investigation? Time will be running out shortly on clues at the scene so we need to make sure we are all on the same page fairly quickly."

Sabre looks at Mr. Giovanni as he ponders his answer. He then shrugs a bit and speaks honestly, "I'm no investigator. Its not something I am too skilled in. As for Deep Cover goes, I'm going deep because that's what's going to earn their trust. I'm only going to tell you all this once. I plan to go so deep and so far with this, you all might even begin questioning my loyalties, because I believe its the only way we'll convince these Anarchs we're legit and I expect the same for anyone else going into deep cover with me. Once suggestion I will make is, those who are working behind the scenes don't try to make contact with us, we should initiate all contact and name the places we meet to ensure our cover's safety."

He looks at the bag he set on the table, "I have several gallons of pigs blood in that bag. Hopefully none of you have anything against it, but I figured it was a good idea to have it on hand in a pinch."
