Thread: A Meeting With Pius (atn: Pius Only)

Calhoun meets Pius at the manhole cover and then opens it, leading him down into the underground. "Stay close," he cautions. "Touch nothing, step where I step and be silent until I tell you it's safe."

Pius will smell the faint sent of blood on the air down here, he also smells human refuse and the stentch of old death. Clearly it's not the most charming of places to make one's home.

Through the tunnels he will lead Pius in silence, one than another - some with pipes and wired some with only the occasional rat to mark them as unique. The walls are made of old sandstone brick in places and cement and state of the art material in others. There is spraypaint on the walls, gang tags and the occasional message of love... it would seem that the Nosferatu aren't the only ones who come down here sometimes.

In the waters that run along side the walking path, in one small area, Pius is sure he saw something with reflective eyes moving in the water and then disappear into it's cloudy depths, his beast unsettled by the thing he is sure that it wasn't just a frog or some other native creature.

Eventually Calhoun opens a heavy steel door that no single man should be able to open alone and inside the look is far different. Red and gold furniture that matches that at Bacchus is inside. One of Chopin's piano concerto's is playing softly from some unseen speaker. Plants and paintings of great beauty make the room rival some of the most lavish of havens that Pius has ever had the pleasure of being in.

"Now," he says with a smile and a motion to one of the high back Victorian style chairs. "We may speak freely."
