Place de la comédie

OOC:

Duncan finishes his text and sends it, while Fred is thinking.  (It doesn't take long; it's a brief message.)

William's phone:

As he puts his phone away, Duncan looks up at Miriel with a smile.
How about you, brat?  Do you want to go in, or stay out here?

OOC:

Miriel resumes a relaxed posture, arms crossed behind her head as she gazes into the distace; she laughs at being called a brat, probably because she was caught off guard, but offers Duncan a serious answer, I vote we head inside soon, but a part of me is not so excited to see Chris.

Is there anyone left to squeeze potential information from?

I don't know... who haven't you talked to? Doctor is there. Alicia... haha joking. Laure.

I'll aspire to follow your example, mister Duncan.
Fred goes to sit down; apparently the combination of Duncan telling Fred to do things himself and Miriel warping into existence is too much for his simple Malkie mind.

Faced with indecision from both sides, Duncan makes a decision.

That's it.  Let's go inside.  Too little brain activity out here.  Besides, we can get in more trouble inside.

With that, Duncan heads towards the Theatre and enters.

(Claudia) There's not much I can do... Primogen Kersten has gone somewhere..
(Catherina) It is in your best interest to help me. If you want your friend to be helped...

The Tremere sounds fairly apologetic, indecisive. The Giovanni, on the other hand, has a slight accent, and she sounds a bit pushy on the Tremere.
(Claudia) What do you want?
(Catherina) I knew you'd accept this as being the truth. Mrs Vonigner, you're a very intelligent woman. Put a word in.. and your friend will stay safe.

Easy to understand now ; Jerome explained the Giovanni were known as necromancers. Is this some sort of blackmail ?

A phone beeps an instant. Claudia whispers a "just an instant" while she, it seems, browses her handbag for said phone. There's no voice for a moment, before another small sound beeps. Felix is quick to recognize that indeed, someone got and received a text. They resume their conversation as if nothing.
(Claudia) My apologies.
(Catherina) Oh don't worry Mrs Vonigner.

The Giovanni really makes an effort to sound conforting. Felix can hear even a few heeled steps. They're both standing, but Claudia didn't wear heels, so the Giovanni must be walking a little.
(Claudia) How can I beleive anything you're saying, anyway ? What proof can I have ?
(Catherina) Well, ask any question.
(Claudia) His preference. Tell me his preference.

A short silence.
(Catherina) Green eyes.

There's another silence. Claudia then sounds a little exasperated and annoyed, but she's also giving up.
(Claudia) Know that if you don't keep your word.. I'll hunt you and destroy you myself, you, and all your allies, friends, contacts, every single little trace...

The threats are serious but from Claudia's words they don't seem to be applicable. Catherina laughs in a clear voice, but she sounds a little stressed. She's fairly good at hiding it, but she's not as confident.
(Catherina) Oh, I don't want to make an enemy of a Tremere. There's nothing to worry about. He'll stay safe as long as you do what the Giovanni want. We're very patient and you're free to handle the situation as you see best.

While Catherina speaks, Felix feels a very cold shiver. It's like he's not alone, but there's nothing there. Jerome mentioned people hiding their presence, like the Nosferatu who just "appear out of nowhere"...

The feeling of the sudden coldness near him made Felix uncomfortable. His immediate fear was that this coldness may be the result of Catherina's apparent necromancy roots. He walked rather calmly away, with a calm expression. As he walked, he did glance back towards where he had been.

ST:

He did his best not to catch eye contact with anyone as he walked, though tried his best to avoid bumping into anyone either. The young man made his way towards the door, not intending to stop unless he was forced to.
