4 Various cutting implements hang above. Whips, cat-o-nine-tails, nipple clips, piercing implements, mallets, tongs, and various other implements of torture are abundant.
5
6 The walls are bare concrete, thick and safe. A few yellow and red lamps give just the barest light to the common room of this haven. Scattered on the corners and hidden in the pools of darkness, there are coffins of the most varied tastes spread without any order or thought. There is enough room to support at least ten vampires.

30Akecheta upon leading them down to the Cella. "Brace yourselves you wont like what you see. Its a bit well ummm... curious to say the least. The last Owners are not ones we associate with except to well send them back to the hell from which they came." He says solemnly.
31
32Felix's brows rise considerably as his eyes acclimate to the dim light and he glances around the cellar. "Well, now. Interestin' taste in decor they got." A glance to the hanging arsenal, "...an' toys."
33
34Bronwyn comes bopping down the stairs with Felix, the armcandy. She's petting his arm as they walk and when she gets down here, her eyes bug out of her head. "Oh, no fucking way." She breaks away from Felix and heads RIGHT toward the nipple clamps. Because of course she does.
35
36Journey follows Akecheta into the room and reels back arms coming up as if warding off something, "Oh bloody fucking hell!" He says, waving his arms briefly, turning in a circle, looking around, "Akecheta, shit, man. Okay, fuck, nobody touch anything." He says, glaring at everything in turn, getting into his satchel.
37
38Kirk visibly bristles as he takes a look around. "I just hope it was left this way because they got killed or chased off," he says, nodding to Journey. "It /could/ be bait for a trap, though."
39
40Akecheta nods his head with a sigh. "Well Journey brother I left everything as it was for this exact reason I dont know what to do or how to you know?" He says with a sigh. "Though I do have some slightly good news."
41
42Bella follows Kirk down, her glass of orange juice in her hand because she'd just got a refill and she wasn't going to leave it there! When she hears Che, she nods, expecting something or other, but as soon as she realizes what the room was, she widens her eyes and almost drops her drink. Stepping back, nearer to Kirk, making sure she has body contact with him. "This is bad."
43Sat Oct 01 20:50:51 2016
44
45Journey drops his water bottle and gets into his satchel, pulling out a case, opening it and looking around, pulling out a large piece of talc, "Okay." He grunts, "Nobody step sideways, this is bad on many levels. Fucking hell man." He says, starting to draw a circle on the floor in chalk.
46
47<Zephyr's Hand> Journey says, "Kirk, if you see anything start materializing, rip it to shreds."
48
49<Zephyr's Hand> Kirk says, "On it."
50
51Of all the things Bronwyn could've made a beeline for, the nipple clamps are probably about the least worrisome, as much as anything in the collection could win that title. Felix continues looking things over, though he does not, in fact, touch anything, nor step sideways. Not even in the literal sense; he stays right where he is, taking a sip of his drink and watching Journey set things up.
52
53After a moment, he looks to Akecheta again. "What's the good news? I'm assumin' it ain' Jesus, here."
54
55Kirk takes a step over to meet Bella halfway, slipping one arm tight around her waist. His other hand clenches and releases, ready in case he needs to monster out in a hurry.
56
57There's no argument from Bella, instinctively, when she needs protection, she seeks Kirk for it. The words from Journey are met with a solemn nod, she's not going to move in fact. Remaining immediately beside Kirk, she listens, following the instructions of the much wiser than her. There's a worried look cast to Kirk and her hand tightens around her juice glass, but otherwise, she doesn't say anything, only listens.
58Sat Oct 01 21:07:31 2016
59
60Akecheta nods his agreement. "I aint movin or touching anything. Journey this is what I wanted to show but with the other two ladies in the bar I couldnt come right out and say it." He says and he looks up to Felix with a grin at his asking. "Well Im a Fostern now." He says with a slightly deflated sigh. "But this sadly takes away from the celebratory feeling of that."
61
62Journey draws the circle, and lights a bundle of sticks with a lighter, taking out a vial of water, "Fostern." He says, pulling the stopper off the vial with his teeth, "Thash greak, Akcsheta." Ptoo! "Okay anyone knowing the Cleansing, just shift and jump on in, Kirk keep a lookout." He says, dropping the satchel and changing.

71Kirk transforms into a giant hairy human.
72Fist of Magni transforms into a nine-foot-tall furry death machine. DELIRIUM IN EFFECT. (+rules The Delirium)
73
74Akecheta shifts up into his big ol bad man beast form ready to help with the cleansing.
75
76Bronwyn pauses and glances back over to Journey and then SIGHS. "Well, guess my nifty earring will just have to wait." She moves back over to the corner and plops down and then waves Bella over. "Come over here, chicky poo. Let the fuzzies do their thing. Come on." She crooks a finger to the girl

82
83"Journey said not to move," Bella whispers to Bronwyn as if that would keep things that needed the cleansing to not hear her... or something. Still, she really was in the way and she edges over there, eyes remaining on Kirk for any sign she needed to remain where she was. Once she gets there, she crouches down instead of seating herself, and offers the orange juice to Bronwyn with an attempt at a good natured smile that is a hint of wobbly. "Thirsty?"
84
85"Hey, congrats!" Felix says to Akecheta, with a flash of that grin as if they weren't currently in a former vampire... den. "Just been busy all over, huh?" He glances at the others, and then at his glass, and now he does move, offering the glass to the girls as a unit, asking, "One of you mind holdin' this for me?" Either way, he follows it by shifting up -- but it'll be simpler (and less amusing to see) if he doesn't end up holding a dainty little glass in his massive claws.

92
93Shaderunner starts growling and moving counter clockwise around the circle, stepping carefully as he turns and flicks the water about, letting the smoke weave around patterns in the air as he moves in the growling, yipping snarling and turning in the Cleansing Rite, growling and moving with the assured steps, as he turns, and growls until he releases a low, rising bone chilling snarl, a wind picking up in the enclosed area, a chill, wind that whips through the place, seeming to clear the air as the shadows in the room seem to flee before the power released.
94
95Bronwyn shakes her head to Bella. "Nah. Preservatives," she says, though she does patpat Bella on the arm briefly. She isn't too worried about all this and she gladly takes the glass from Felix, who might be her new boyfriend, and holds onto it, sniffing it briefly.

101Akecheta follows Journeys practiced steps and does exactly as Journey does. Che has only done this once before when Journey taught him this ritual.
102
103Fist of Magni mostly just stands by, glancing around from time to time. Mostly that's all he needs to do, but he also looks around for a suitable surface to sharpen his claws against.
104
105Lets-Them-Eat-Cake as well is playing sentry, keeping an eye and ear out for anything out of the ordinary -- well, out of what looks ordinary for this place, anyway -- and otherwise watching the process of the ritual. Apparently, it isn't one he knows, himself.
106Fist of Magni loses one Willpower
107
108The reassurances from Bronwyn are met with a brave smile, and she keeps her juice and takes a drink from it instead. Her eyes move back to rest on Kirk momentarily, before she eyes Journey and Akecheta and Felix, just keeping a general eye on the current actions.
109
110Shaderunner finishes the Rite and stands, walking around the room slowly, dropping the empty vial of water and smouldering bundle on the floor, drawing his Fire Opal bladed dagger from under his bracer and starts walking the edges of the room, poking around the coffins, <<Damn. You bought a Vampire nest, man.>> He snarls, looking around, <<This place might not be the most secure of locations for your bar, Stands-His-Ground>>
111[+WATCH] Monica has disconnected.
112
113Akecheta shakes his head. << I didnt know it was a damned Vampire nest when I bought it Shaderunner. Honestly Ive seen no other signs of them in this place anywher.>> He snarls back as he too looks around. <<We have something on this side of the city now. We just have to figure out how to fortify it to keep those suck heads out.>>
114Sat Oct 01 21:57:33 2016
115
116<Zephyr's Hand> Shaderunner says, "This is ridiculous."
117
118It takes Fist of Magni a little while to decide. Unlike the forest, there's little space to work with here, and no real /good/ options. He'll take what he can get, though, leaning down and swiping his claws against a stretch of exposed concrete.
119
120<Zephyr's Hand> Fist of Magni says, "Expecting to hold this location, you mean?"
121
122Shaderunner raps the flat of his knife on the lacquered wood of one of the coffins, <<I think its safe to say the Vampires in general know this place exist, and is one of their holdings, or someones holdings. Someone who might have left something like this for the wrong people to find.>> He turns and snarls <<We are the wrong people. We need to alert the Council about this finding.>> He looks at Akecheta, <<This places' Veil is pre-torn open, it's a damn Wyrm lair, and the creatures who existed here don't age, they can wait ten years, or a hundred, but they'll watch this place and will look into anyone holding it. It comes with risks, and while it's your territory, I wouldn't risk exposure to the Leeches or whatever else might be lurking by using this place.>>
123
124<Zephyr's Hand> Shaderunner says, "Exactly."
125
126Akecheta has disconnected.
127
128Bella is a little bit entranced by the actions of Kirk, watching the sharpening of his claws on the floor. She's really not privy to the conversation between those shifted, but she still looks between them curiously, listening to the sounds they make, the moves they do as they do their respective duties.
129
130Shaderunner grumbles and nods, shifting down as he moves to his satchel, picking it up, "Okay, well tell you what.." He says, getting his phone out.
131
132~...how long's this place been for sale?~ Lets-Them-Eat-Cake asks, ~Seems weird they'd let it outta their hands, if they're-- around.~ 'Alive' isn't quite appropriate, after all. The place gets another considering look, a slow one, and once others are shifting back down, he follows suit.
133
134<Zephyr's Hand> Fist of Magni says, "It's a good goal, though. Someday we need to shove the Wyrm out of everywhere and keep it out. But that's probably generations of work."
135
136<Phone> (Text to George) Old Cobre Saloon. Know it? Akecheta just bought the place.
137
138<Phone> (Text from George) biker bar out towards the desert? I've been by but never inside
139
140Bronwyn is just grinning, swinging her feet where she sits, still holding Felix's drink. She's humming quietly under her breath, just listening to and watching the chaos.
141
142<Phone> (Text to George) You want to come find me in the basement. Pretty quickly.
143
144Sat Oct 01 22:30:54 2016
145
146Journey pokes on the phone, "No idea. I'm not even going to ask. right now." He nods, and puts the phone in his satchel. "Okay good enough. George is en route." He sighs.
147
148<Phone> (Text from George) Can you see the moon from there?
149
150<Phone> (Text to George) I can't see the moon from anywhere. But still no, sealed off.
151
152<Phone> (Text from George) on my way
153
154Bella still remains silent, glancing at Bronwyn, then to Kirk and the others. There's really not much she can input at this point. A wary eye is cast around the room.
155Writing reality out to disk. Please wait...
156Reality saved. Thank you for your patience.
157
158"Well, given this an' all," Felix says, gesturing to the remaining signs of the cleansing, "anyone got an objection to introductions? Don't reckon I've met all y'all properly yet, an' vice versa."
159
160Journey finishes texting and moves to sit on the table, stomping out the smouldering remains of the bundle of sticks from the Cleansing Rite. "Oh, right, Felix, sorry. Yeah George is on his way, we can do intros." He kicks his feet, oddly amused by the situation, "Can't wait to see Georges face."
161
162George comes through the club above like he belongs there and knows exactly where he's going and he does because he can sense Journey and is following that perception in. Locked doors, patrons, staff? all just kind of moved past if there are any in the way. He comes down the stairs and blinks a few times "What the actual fuck."
163
164Bronwyn is more amused! Look at that grin. She actually rubs her hands together and giggles a little bit. She crosses her legs almost primly, wriggling her toes within her sandals. When George comes down, she actually squees at his reaction and claps the tips of her fingers together in further anticipation. Also, Felix gets his drink back because she ain't touching that devil brew. Not on a night like this. You go into this shit straight. Also, Chaos Engine is now in effect.
165
166Fist of Magni inclines his head to George as he approaches, then glances around to indicate the area in general. << I assume he only found this after he bought the place. >>
167
168Nope, no staff, there's a clear path through a back area, and down into... Journey lifts a hand, waving cheerfully, "Hi George. Look at the neat place Akecheta bought." It's the Chaos Engine, goes right to his Wyld Touched head. He looks to Fist, "We'll assume that's the case, yeah."
169

172A gorgon with this ability is a walking mouthpiece for chaos, pure and simple. His very presence brings disorder and change to the objects and events at work around him. Bolts unhinge, electrical systems brown out, and nearby containers spring leaks or cracks.
173<-------------=============++++++++++++++++++++++++=============------------->
174
175At least the orange juice glass is empty. The same can't be said for the whiskey. When the introductions are being made, Bella listens, bowing her head politely, and as George walks in she gives a friendly smile yet dips her head in respect. There's nothing for her to add about the condition of the room, fairly certain he'd already been informed.
176
177George nods slowly at the greetings and then to Journey "Does he need a hand with demo and reno or a whuppin for being a moron? Could be either so I kind of hafta ask."
178
179Bronwyn's eyes light up and she pushes up to her feet. "i'm sure it was a total accident. I think we should burn the place down and then set traps for any of the vampires who might come back for this place later on. I could probably modify my squirrel shooter to be much bigger and just.. PYOOOOM! To the moon, Alice!" She smacks one hand to the other, ricocheting off and up into the sky. "But can I have those nipple clamps first?" THEN she looks at Felix. "i'm Bronwyn. I think we've been over that before, though."
180
181Journey claps his hands together, "Umm, right now, I would say that he needs to understand that this here.." He points around, "Is a dealbreaker, and he can't keep it and reasonably expect to hold onto it. Demo and Reno, is the best solution, just you know, He needs to understand that." He looks at Bronwyn, "They're HIS nipple clamps, Bronwyn." He reminds gently.
182
183George nods in agreement with Journey "He really really does. Do we know where he went?"
184
185Journey nods, "He had to take care of something, I think having to do with the bar itself, but he'll be back in a couple hours, so yeah that's what's happening right now." He kicks his feet as he sits on the table, palms pressed to the surface. He looks around, "This right here has got to be the kind of thing that makes Vampires wake in a cold sweat. Garou everywhere."
186
187
188"Just 'Bronwyn'?" Felix asks, tilting his head at her, but an equally pressing question appears to be, "You got a squirrel shooter? Are we talkin' shootin' at 'em with it, or shootin' 'em at shit? 'cause I wanna see that second one. Might even be willin' to track you down some unclaimed nipple clamps." He takes a sip of his whiskey, and the glass makes a noise not unlike ice freshly dropped into water, a crack wending its way from the base toward the top edge. He blinks, with a quiet, dismayed yelp, and attempts to drink the rest before it manages to escape through the spreading web of cracks. Vampire stuff will just have to wait for his no doubt invaluable input.
189
190"That escalated quickly. We don't really need to burn his new place down do we? Just the cellar?" Bella asks curiously, looking between Journey, Bronwyn, George, the Kirk. At the lack of introductions, she smiles to Felix. "I'm Bella Warner, Kinfolk, Get of Fenris, Mate to Kirk." He knows Kirk, perhaps? She isn't certain.
191
192"Back to Garou 101, if he's got a brain," Bronwyn offers helpfully in answer to George's question, then pouts at Journey. "HE won't use them. He didn't even know that this place was down here. Or he did, but only recently. Wasn't it nice for him to take a kinfolk down here into a nice, tainted, wyrmy blood sucker's torture chamber? That was very generous of him. Don't YOU think, George?" Then she nods to Felix. "You don't want my full introduction," she tells him dead pan, then grins. "No no. It's a trap. You put a thingy up and then you stretch it out and then they climb in there to get the nuts and then..." She makes a motion like she's got a slingshot. "Flying squirrels. Broken squirrels. Delightfully dead and bent squirrels." Then she shakes her head to Bella. "can't leave any evidence really. It's all gotta go."
193
194George just sighs at what Bronwyn says, apparently more tired than ragey even though it is his birth moon "Oh yeah. Someone needs to have a talk with that boy. Wasn't Jake training him? He should be there and be involved in the conversation so he can add some...lessons or something to the to-done list."
195
196
197Journey nods to Bella, "Yeah, when we burn it, Everyone EVERYONE needs to know it's burned to the ground. There needs to be no one who suspects that this kind of evidence exists, otherwise the Vampires are likely to investigate, because the bar upstairs JUST reopened tonight. I expect them to look into it any second, honestly. This is the worst case senerio. Imagine if one of our holdings were taken over by a Leech and we didn't know if the Garou holding it cleaned out anything."
198Sat Oct 01 23:20:54 2016
199
200Journey's explanation makes a bit more sense to Bella but she gives a pained look all the same. "Just.. he was so proud of having it, employing people and all. I guess it would be much too dangerous for anyone involved, with the blood suckers leeching around here, wondering what we know." There's another look around and she shudders, "This place is bad, I hate the coffins." Bronwyn is given an odd look at the mention of the bent, broken, dead squirrels. "Should I.. go?"
201
202<Zephyr's Hand> Journey says, "Kirk, if you want to extract Bella, I think we got the situation under control, she shouldn't dwell here."
203
204<Zephyr's Hand> Fist of Magni says, "On it."
205Kirk transforms into a human.
206
207The thing that was Kirk earlier ripples and alters once again, walking over and offering his hands to Bella's. "Come on, let's get you out of here. They'll take care of it."
208
209Felix is silent for a bit, 'rescuing' the rest of his drink, then gingerly sets down the considerably spiderwebbed glass, a few remaining drops seeping out the cracks. "So you'd make a trap for the vampires an' when they got into it, let the slingshot go, see how well they really do fly?" Felix asks Bronwyn, then, "'cause that I'd be down to see, too." He drums his dingers once against his leg. "The thing is," he says, "it ain't like the place just got on the market yesterday, right? So if they know 'bout it, if they got reason to worry... how come they ain't come by an' checked it out, cleaned shit up, before now?"
210
211There's not a single objection from Bella, she takes Kirks hand and nods, giving one last brief look around. "Be careful," she tells those remaining in the room, forgetting the glass there on the floor where she had placed it once she drank the juice, and heading out with Kirk.
212
213Journey shrugs, "Dunno, but.." He points at Felix, "Remember the MC that came in, the ones who were old patrons and were soooo happy to see the place reopened?" He looks around. "Mmmhmm. Don't want to see more old customers."
214
215Bronwyn mmm hmmms, grinning happily at Felix. "That sounds like the plan of the century. Works REALLY well for squirrels. But they're COMPLETELY dumb. Vampires at least used to have a brain before the vampire master sucked it all out." Then she shrugs. "Maybe they were waiting to see who bought it and why. Maybe they're watching right now."
216Sat Oct 01 23:37:35 2016
217
218"Could be," Felix says, possibly to both conjectures, with a nod. "...I reckon you'd need a better bait for vampires'n nuts. So, it's all gotta burn, huh?" He glances upward, toward the main room. "Y'all gonna let him know before, or after? An' can we save a thing or two?"
219
220Journey nods, poking at his phone, "Good point." He says, and then puts the phone away. "He's not gonna be happy about it, but really, doesn't much matter. He can still turn this into a plus for himself, if he plays it right, mostly by listening to what he's told." He looks to Felix, "Right now, the place needs to stay closed, till we speak to Akecheta, I just left him that message, then we talk to him, and I imagine that we'll have the chance to dismantle the place before boom."
221
222Bronwyn frowns just a touch and shakes her head. Everyone always ruins her fun. Ya know? Kinda sucks. "You don't think it'd be best to just do it now and save him the agony? I mean, it's going to piss him off either way. What if he hesitates? Besides losing buttloads of renown and changing his rite name to Wyrm Bait, what if he just.. refuses to do it? Best to just... start the sparks now, don't you think? This place shouldn't exist. And, believe it or not, I'm not being sarcastic about it.":
223
224"Hope he's insured," Felix says, "...which, I s'pose we better not save too much shit, if he is. Don't want 'em gettin' suspicious or nothin'." He wanders the room a bit, taking closer looks at things, though not actually poking them. Currently. "How boom are we talkin'? Big boom?" Possibly he shouldn't sound hopeful about that, but if you gotta destroy a bar anyway...
225
226Journey looks around, "No, I'm not demolishing this place out from under Akecheta. He can still come out of this smelling like a rose, IF he's smart about it. As for how big.." He looks around, "This here is a bunker, designed to withstand a contemporary fire."
227
228Bronwyn beams, hopping up and down. "Oh, let me do it? Pleaaaaase. I can change the air itself into something highly comb.. bust..... concuss.... confro... 'splody. I've done it before. I can do it here too. I can make the WHOLE thing just go WHIFF! and then KAJOOOOOOM!!!! And Wyrm Bait will still smell all pretty and shiny."
229Sat Oct 01 23:54:15 2016
230
231"If we decide to do that, I need popcorn an' to save 'bout half what's behind the bar first," Felix says, looking mostly impressed by the suggestion, or maybe the mental image of how that would turn out. "Akecheta oughta at least get to be here an' see it, though."
232
233Journey lifts his hands, "I know you can create a thermobaric explosion, Bronwyn, but that robs Akecheta from doing it himself and being a real, grown up Garou." He nods, "He just made Fostern, this could cement his Rank or knock him back to Cliath, depending on how he plays it." He looks at Bronwyn, "Okay? Now you're not Garou so you're not bound by this kind of concern, but it's important to his career, okay?"
234
235Bronwyn wrinkles her nose and shrugs. "Fine. But I'm still going to call him Wyrm Bait until this thing is all over with AND... SOMEONE has to suggest that if he doesn't know how to rig explosives, that Bronwyn could do it."
236Sun Oct 02 00:10:55 2016
237
238Felix mutters something that sounds like 'thermo...' but hey, explosion everyone knows. He glances at his broken glass, studying it for a moment. "Well, if we got that decided. Anyone else think that's weird?" he asks, gesturing toward it. "I mean, I got a good grip. But it ain't generally THAT good. Not in Homid, anyhow."
239
240Journey hops off the table, and moves over, picking up the glass, and smiles, tossing it to Bronwyn, "Opinion?" He asks, smirking. "Funny little Gorgon you." He says, and frowns, "Alright, let's see.." He looks around, "I don't know what else we can get out of this place.."
241
242Bronwyn looks around slowly and shrugs. "I just want to make earrings out of the nipple clamps." Then she grins and looks back to Felix. "Probably got a wyrmy glass or something. All sorts of destruction and emtrophy." Yes, Emtrophy
243Sun Oct 02 00:27:36 2016
244
245"All kindsa what now?" Felix asks, "...didn't =taste= Wyrmy." Journey's remark to her looks as though it might ring some kind of bell, though, and he studies Bronwyn more closely for a moment or two. "Huh." He peers at one of the coffins, then back toward his companions. "We got anyone who can look back in time? I know there's a gift of echoes, though I ain't ever seen it go further'n a week or so. But I reckon there's other ways. An' I got a feelin' chances ain't that bad we got someone around here knows some."
246
247Journey looks at Felix for a moment and then nods, "Yeah, Kinmagi. I'm pretty sure that Echos won't reach far enough, you're right there. Still we'll have to talk wit Akecheta about things first, and even so I think destroying the place won't effect the playback that much."
248
249Bronwyn shrugs at Felix. "Then it was probably me. Sometimes, shit happens around me." She shrugs. Then she looks to Journey and shrugs again. "Maybe. I said I wouldn't do it without giving him the chance to do it himself. You can quit looking at me now."
250
251"Maybe you just happen to be nice to look at," Felix suggests, giving her a grin. "Hell, what're his other choices -- me or a buncha coffins an' that shit." A gesture toward the various hanging implements. "Seems like an easy choice to me." He still seems to have some interest in checking out the soon to be burnt offerings while he can, though, himself. "...kinmagi. Yeah, that sounds about right, I s'pose."
252
253Journey nods to Bronwyn, "Well, if he would get back here, we might be able to settle it tonight. At least the location of the place.." He smiles slowly, "This place have one of those Liquid Propane tanks? Cause that's an instant explanation for the explosion." He starts inspecting the coffins and the room, taking out his phone and takes a few pics here and there.
254
255"Oh, I know I'm nice to look at. It's the tits." She beams. Then to Journey, "Probably not," Bronwyn says. "Vampires and fire aren't very good friends." SHe starts looking around too, opening up a coffin and she peeks in and yells into the depths of the thing. "Hey! ANyone home in there?" SHe pushes on the edge of it and works her fingers around the edge of the thing to make sure there's no hidey holes. "Should probably move all these too, just to make sure there's nothing underneath or whatever. One secret room.. might be more."
256
257Felix glances over at her again, a quick flicker of a look, and gives her a cheeky smirk. "Well. Not just." The rest of her remark gets what seems like more serious thought. "Could be, I s'pose," he says, "Secret rooms, secret passages, all that kinda thing. An' I dunno if there's a propane tank, but if there is I 'spect we'd hafta go lookin' for it up there. Want me to take a look?"
258
259Journey nods to Bronwyn, "Good point." He says, moving to a coffin and opening it, searching it, "Let's have a look at these fucking things." He grins, "I really did enjoy the look on Georges face though." He looks to Felix and shrugs, "Not that important, but if you like, go ahead, we're gonna go through this stuff, and there's enough for everyone."
260Sun Oct 02 01:17:37 2016
261
262Bronwyn winks at Felix and then goes to work, looking through another coffin. Fingers run along the edge and then snnnnnnnnnnnikt.... A lovely little tearing sound and long claws come out from the bottom of the coffin she's working on. "Nope. Nothing in this one...." She giggles and looks at Journey. "I know, RIGHT? I almost want to get Wyrm Bait some sock for making him make that face. It was glorious."

264[+WATCH] Tabia has connected.
265
266"It wasn't half bad," Felix agrees, his own grin suggesting just a little understatement in play, and he gives the coffin nearest him a poke, then opening it and having a good rummage. Nothing notable seems to be in this one, so he wraps his arms around it and manhandles the thing out of the spot it was in. No trapdoors or other secret passage type things below or behind it. Almost disappointing.
267
268Journey grunts and pushes the coffin off of its place, then drops it, sighing, "Nothing there." He moves on to the next one, nodding. "Really, if Akecheta hadn't actually opened the bar, it could have been a grand slam for him." He nods, "Just brought us in before doing it. Could have played it all perfectly." Opening another coffin and looking inside, "Fuck. this one smells like.. Drakkon Noir or something."
269Sun Oct 02 01:34:18 2016
270
271Felix glances over at Journey's latest observation. "Man, they really ARE monsters," he says, deadpan enough that it's nigh on impossible to tell whether he's joking or not. But there's more coffins to inspect, propane tanks to check the existence of, and large portions of the libation collection yet to... rescue, so they'll just have to power through somehow.
272
273<SCENE BREAK>
274
275Journey pushes the last coffin over with a grunt as Felix is gone for the timebeing. Noding, he looks around, checking that the nipple clamps are STILL THERE. "Well no more secret rooms, shark tanks with trapdoors and slides or.. whatever."
276
277Bronwyn didn't take the nipple clamps. She steps back from her own work of thoroughly dismantling a coffin and she grins. "Looks like no one here but us chickens, Journey."
278
279Akecheta comes back down after the bar has been closed up for the night. "Sorry about this Journey if Id known that this had been a vamp haven before I wouldnt have bought the place I swear it." He says seeming a bit upset with himself. "What a way to start in my new rank by buying a place that could have gotten us into a lot of shit."
280
281Journey turns to look at Akecheta as he comes in, nodding, "Look, the situation is salvageable, alright?" He points around, " The PLACE isn't salvageable. The situation is. You understand? Now we can help you, get another bar, a clean bar built from the ground up, just a little bit down the road. Whole new setup, but this place, the knowledge of the place, everything about this place.." He looks around, "No."
282
283Bronwyn looks more thrilled than she probably should at the idea of getting rid of the place. She doesn't SAY so, but you can just tell. It's RIGHT there.
284
285Akecheta nods his head a bit solemnly. "I get it. I understand its just damn I liked this place until I found this shit down here."
286Sun Oct 02 10:27:51 2016
287
288Journey nods, "I understand." He moves to get into his satchel, "Bronwyn, anything you want to ask Akecheta about? Something you want to take before turning the place into a thermobaric bomb?" He asks, as he looks to the side and pulls out a quantity of silk, draping it over his hand and pulling down one of the stabbing knives, "Damn."
289
290Bronwyn nods, trying to be serious, and she pats Akecheta on the arm. "Shit happens. But here's the good news, okay? If I can have those nipple clamps over there on the wall, I would be MORE than happy to explode this place for you. Like, there won't be ANYTHING left of it."
291
292Akecheta glances over at the clamps than back at Bronwyn. "Into some kinky fuckery type shit are you?" He asks with a laugh and a wink. "Takem if Journey says they aint tainted anymore theyre all yours."
293
294Journey looks down at the impliment, wrapping it in the silk, muttering something in Egyptian, and swallowing with a nod, "Yeah, it's fine for taint. Really, Che, this is the kind of thing you don't want to serve people food over. You ever seen Poltergeist? Same basic concept." He explains, putting the impliment into his satchel once it's wrapped carefully. "The Dead won't appreciate it." He nods, "T-minus five minutes, Bronwyn, if you don't mind Che, Felix is up on the grounds, interested in grabbing a few bottles for the road, and we can get well underway of getting you a new place started before the sun comes up."
295Writing reality out to disk. Please wait...
296Reality saved. Thank you for your patience.
297
298Akecheta nods his head. "Meh I should probably grab a few bottles for myself too." He says with a sigh. "Its going to be a while before Im up and running again huh?" He asks with a forced chuckle.
299
300Journey shrugs, "Won't be that long, honestly. Constuction can start quick, and we can get things done fast. Given the pictures I took of the place that will silence any questions Vestas backers would have about dropping money on the project. Paying for speed is a thing." He nods, "But yes, grab a few cases, last chance is fast approaching. This place have a LP tank?"
301Sun Oct 02 10:44:31 2016
302
303Akecheta nods his head. "Money I got, and I got plenty of ya know. As you saw last night this place will draw in quite the crowd when up and running." He says smiling.
304
305Journey nods "Yeah, Akecheta.. About that?" He looks around at the torture room, the searched coffins, and the impliments of death and agony. "Beware the crowd."
306
307Bronwyn grabs the nipple clamps and wraps the chain around her hair, then uses the clamps to secure her hair into a kinky little ponytail, all messy and flopped over. She giggles happily. "I am pretty sure I saw a tank in the basement upstairs." She's all but vibrating with energy and a little breeze pulls up out of nowhere, really. Just some little stray current that finds her, swirling a bit of dust around the place. "I'm ready when you guys are. Let's get to this!"
308
309Akecheta nods his head. "Yea I know because bars mostly operate at night watch out for those without a pulse the clot drinkers." He says as he starts to lead the way back up to grab some booze before they blow up and torch the place. "Should be fun... the fireworks show."
310
311Journey sighs, "And there are going to be Leeches looking for a new hangout." He nods to Bronwyn, "Alright, let's get clear." He says, "Last sweep of the area to make sure no ones left behind." He heads out, making a circling motion with one hand over his head, "Bronwyn, T-minus three minutes. Moving my bike."
312
313"Don't put a time on it. You know I can't stand that shit. It won't take me long. I'm working. You guys get clear. She looks around as they come up and she grabs a couple of things and goes to examine the LP tank. It isn't as big as she'd like, but she can work with it from here. She rubs her hands together and grabs hold of the LP tank and PULLLS... stretching out the side of the thing a little bit as she works her power.
314
315Akecheta smirks running up the stairs. "Shit moving the bike than." He says going to move his own bike. "Lords know I dont need it being blown to bits."
316Sun Oct 02 11:01:11 2016
317
318Journey heads out, getting his bike and moving it at least fifty yards farther than he thinks safe distance is. "Okay. Works for me."
319
320But! Before Journey can do that, Bronwyn walks over to him and holds out her hand. "Take this." Assuming he's willing, she reaches out and... her entire arm falls off, clear to the shoulder. But in Journey's hand is a raccoon. Not a big one. Not a baby, exactly, but just a pretty small raccoon.. Bronwyn winces. "Explosions suck. Hang onto THAT me and all will be well." And then she shoos everyone away and steps back into the building.
321Aaand into the satchel goes the babby raccoon.
322
323Akecheta pushes his bike cases of booze with it out to where Journey is. When Bronwyn does her thing he looks around utterly confused. "Ummmm What...huh...how... Ah forget it."
324
325Journey nods to Akecheta, satchel squirming slightly "You get used to it."
326
327And so for a good three or four minutes, everything is quiet. The little raccoon peeks its head out to watch, little claws tapping on the bag. There is a quiet to the place. It's almost serene. The little raccoon looks up at Journey and nibbles on whatever she can reach of him, then covers its ADORABLE little ears. Is it grinning? It IS! About half a second later, there is a dull little THUD and then it seems like all the oxygen is sucked from the lungs of those nearby and then there is another tiny little thud and then a rather HUGE fucking explosion that rocks the entire countryside. The raccoon squeals in pain and flops back into the satchel.
328Sun Oct 02 11:17:52 2016
329
330Akecheta steps back breath taken. "Wow Thats a helluva fuckin boom man." He says in awe. "My crew is good but that was fucking brilliant." He says smiling. "So we can get the rebuild started right?"
331
332Journey scritches the Raccoon gently as it prepares for the explosion, and lifts a hand as it goes off, "Yeah, won't be long, but the point of it is to let the world know that it's gone." He looks to Akecheta, "We'll let Fire investigators and news people do their work and you can get started on that tomorrow. It's Sunday after all, so tomorrow is a good time to get started."
333
334Akecheta nods his head a few times here. "Yea gotcha let the world know it was blown to bits. Well hell it was run by another MC Before I bought it who knows maybe a rival blew it up. Or a careless patron dropped a cigarette in the wrong place." He says reaching into his cut and pulling out a pack of Marlboros and taking one out lighting it with the Zippo. "Well I said I wanted to redo the place didnt I?"
335
336The raccoon actually bites at Journey's fingers. Pain response. She doesn't break skin, because that would be bad. She hunkers down in the bag a little bit, hiding from the world. It doesn't take long though before a small swarm of insects starts to appear from along one side of the explosion, coming up out of the ground and making its way toward the others.
337
338Journey nods to Akecheta, "Yep this is a chance to do so." He looks to the bugs, and opens his satchel, as the swarm approaches. "Good work." He tells the bugs.
339
340Akecheta looks down at the bugs than back over to Journey. "Ummmm.... You know what I dont want to know." He says with a chuckle. "Now to think up a new name. I kinda want to have us with another Gaian hangout so I dont want anything to scary ya know."
341Sun Oct 02 11:34:32 2016
342
343All the insects dive in and there is shuffling and twisting and shifting there inside the bag. A much fatter raccoon peeks her head out and flops over the side, panting for breath and just sort of dangles there. Might be dead. Maybe
344Writing reality out to disk. Please wait...
345Reality saved. Thank you for your patience.
346
347Journey lets the Raccoon eat the bugs and moves to the bikes, nodding, "Sounds good, let's get out of here before the authorities show up." He says, mounting up on the bike.
348
349Akecheta nods his head a few times here. "Sounds good to me. Cops and me dont get along too good." He says with a chuckle.
350"Anyway Im supposed to be meeting someone at the Caern today anyhow. Nows as good a time as any."
351
352Bronwyn just pants quietly and oozes back into the ba
353bag
