| Nyx followed William about two paces behind him, her hands were buried in the pockets of her jacket and the satchel seemed to rest comfortably if slightly scuffed from her crawl earlier.
She watched with interest as William and Corinna spoke but seemed to keep her distance to not get too involved. With a bored glance to the receptionist she took one of the armchairs and sat in an awkward I have no fucking clue what to expect sort of way. | |

| Marie welcomes William and Nyx with a nod, indicates that someone was waiting, but goes back to work ; the lobby is right in front of the entrance (to the left) while le foyer is further inside, and obviously, not accessible to mortal ears. | |

| Duncan stands at Corinna's approach, and gives a small bow. He smiles cordially as he greets her.
Mlle. Ansons, good evening. I'm her to meet your clanmate, William-- His head turns at the new arrivals, and he faces Corinna once more.
Ah, here he is. Speak of the devil and he appears, as they say.
Duncan greets Nyx and William with a nod. To both of them he merely says: Hello. | |

| Nyx gave the receptionist a tip of an imaginary cap to greet her, the Nosferatu's eyes lingered on the Kine for a little longer than was probably socially acceptable before she sat.
Her attention diverted to the Tremere woman but she said nothing not wanting to interrupt the conversation, but she watched carefully with a bit more respect than she did with the Kine. | |

| Fred eventually enters the room (due to his player paying attention again!) and approaches Duncan and Corinna.
He gives a small bow towards Corinna when he nears the two. Good evening, miss. Pardon my rude interruption of your conversation, but if it's not inappropriate, I'd like a quick word with mister Duncan if I may? Fred removes his beanie and does the puppy eyes and holds it near his chest with both hands. | |

| Duncan smiles at Fred when he starts to get apologetic.
That's all right, Fred. Mlle. Anson and I were just saying hello. I think she and William might have something to discuss, from the sound of it. Did you want to talk in here? Or would you rather do it outside?. | |

| Fred returns Duncan's smile and puts his beanie back on, clearly more at ease. I was wondering if we have more important errands to run tonight, as the time flies away and I begin worrying about not reaching my haven in time. Surely it is inappropriate for me to impose another night in a row.
Ah, but if there is anything else I can help with, I'd be delighted to assist before I return to rest. Naturally, the coterie is more than welcome should they wish to reside there for the day. | |

| Corinna raises an eyebrow at the raid of the Foyer - she doesn't usually see quite so many guests arrive in short succession at this place - but doesn't comment. She smiles politely, waits for everbody to get settled, and then, raising her hands, takes a slight step backwards. "Please, do not mind me, go ahead. I should like a word with Monsieur Wolvenheart, though" - she puts great emphasis on 'Monsieur', and her gaze flickers briefly over to him, akin to a stare of death before she continues - "if you can spare him for a few moments." Obviously, it's not a question she's asking, as she now bows her head a little, as if saying goodbye, and gives the other Tremere her stare of death again. It's not that hard to see that she dislikes his lack of respect. Should he get the not so subtle hint she's sending, she'd leave with him. The small congregation in the Foyer doesn't seem to need anything of her. | |

| Duncan ponders for a moment, before he answers the Malkavian.No, I can't think of anything really pressing tonight. I mean, we're kind of in a holding pattern until we have a little more information. I had only planned to wait here for a little while, to see whether William could gain any intel from the... items you both found. But I need to return to my haven before long. I'll need a few things from there before I run my errand tomorrow evening. The Brujah turns to Corinna, after her statements to the group -- and her obvious disapproval of William's manners.I thank you for your patience, Mademoiselle. William, I trust you'll let us know whether we can expect anything tonight, or if we should just meet up tomorrow? You can text me; you have my number. In the meantime, I have something I need to discuss with Mlle. Nyx. If you'll excuse me? Like Corinna, Duncan is only being polite. As soon as he has spoken, he picks up his bag, bows his head to both Corimma and William, clasps Fred on the shoulder in passing, and walks to where Nyx is seated. He takes something out of his jacket pocket and hands it to her.- Perception+Awareness>5, Nyx:
The item looks like a disposable camera. (For Nyx only): A glance at the back reveals that all of the exposures have been used.
Here. I'm sure your people can take care of this more quickly than I could. I'd have to get it processed normally-- at a pharmacy, or something. That would take a few days, and I'm not sure we have that kind of time. | |

| William gave a small laugh with an evil grin. "Pardon Mademoiselle, mais you did tell me to call you by tha- ohhh, you don't wish to have other people find out about..." he coughed, "...Yes, let's discuss... things... Anson Sodaris"
Once Duncan had his say, William looked at the Brujah and the rest of the group. "I'll send the information ASAP once I have it. Good morning." And gave a wave to the group as he followed Anson. | |

| Fred looks as Duncan passes and then turns to William and Corinna. Well then, I'll retire to my haven. Good evening.
He gives a small bow, walks towards the entrance and gives a small wave to Duncan and Nyx, even should their backs be turned, and finally exits. | |

| Nyx listened to what was said in silence until Duncan addressed her directly. She took the camera and looked it over for a moment turning it over and inspecting both sides.
I'll see what we can do. I'm sure we can sort it out though will most likely be tomorrow night considering the time.
When Fred left she gave him a small wave back and watched as he exited through the front door and then does the same to William as the two Tremere took their leave. | |

| After he hands the camera to Nyx, Duncan sits down in the chair next to hers and places his bag on the floor next to his feet.Guess I'll wait a little while, to see if William can decipher that SD card. He says they might be able to tell something about the guy who wore that scrap of cloth; but I'm not getting my hopes up. Duncan lowers his voice, even though there's nobody that close to them.- Nyx, Auspex 1:
That's pretty much all I found in Momo's borrowed car-- the camera, and tools. Including some tools similar to the ones you have. If we find Momo still among the living, he can have the tools back... although I might ask him to acquire some more for me. Duncan thinks for a second and adds: I did find a flyer with the Nosferatu Hotline number... nothing that would endanger the Masquerade, but obvious to anyone familiar with your clan. That pretty much confirmed that I had the right car. He pulls the flyer from his pocket, and hands it to Nyx. In addition to the hotline number, it has the traditional sad theatre mask associated with the Nosferatu, listening to a phone handset; along with the words "In the need of a friend? Call us." | |

Nyx shifted her weight slightly when Duncan sat next to her. Nyx lowered her voice in response.- Auspex 1 & Duncan:
Can I see the tools please?
Nyx took the flier and inspected it too, she had seen them before her fingertip traced along the outline of her Clan symbol for a while.Possibly, but it could be anyone's we do hand these out to everyone in the know Masqurade wise. | |

| As Duncan leans down and picks up the bag, he shrugs, as though unconvinced.Maybe. But I doubt that was the um, big guy's car. That would mean a third, unknown Kindred had left his stolen car there for a few weeks. I'm going with the most likely scenario. The Brujah neonate hands the large KFC bag to Nyx. Then he reaches into a pocket of his jacket and pulls out a few smaller items. He displays these to Nyx, but hides them with his jacket, as if he doesn't want to show them openly, even in here.- Nyx:
The items in his hand are part of a set of lockpicks, A peek in the bag reveals normal-sized tools-- a decent tool kit, although not high-quality, with a few lengths of wire..
- ST:
I assume the lockpicks were loose in the trunk as well. Until he can buy some kind of small bag or wallet, they are distributed among his jacket pockets.

| Nah, doubt it would be, he doesn't use our services... Nyx looked at what Duncan showed in his hands first, she picked one up to see how soft the metal was before nodding and putting them back. She then took a quick look through the bag before giving them back.- Auspex 1 & Duncan:
He may have used these to get into the university and nick the car, depending on the kinda doors they have. The wire is probably to get in the car.
- ST:
Can I has a bit more detail on the kinda lockpicks please?

| - Perception + security>4 about the tools.:
The lockpicks are good quality, but old. The tools as well, they're not new but they were taken care of (not with the love of a collector, but enough for someone who knows their tools must be kept correctly should they wish for them to last long). The tools from the KFC bag would make a Sunday Handyman quite happy, but they're not special enough and unique enough not to be found in any handy store around. The lockspicjs tools are of better quality, but they're also older. Their care was more serious, but they've been seriously used by their owner (or owners). The smell of oil and gas indicate they've probably not been moved from the trunk for a few days. It's very probable they weren't placed after Momo's disappearance. Lambert probably didn't think Momo drove, if he knew it was him. He may have been too busy in the meantime to search for an abandoned car around his place (as it seems he has found a Sabbat nest on Thursday, it means he was researching it... The owner didn't use a special something to hold the picks, it seems he used to conceal them on his person.
However a closer inspection indicate that the main picks for three-dot doors is slightly bent ; many of them are in two sets, but not this one : the owner must have had on himself another set of those particular lock picks. It just so comes that most doors from low income flats have these kind of three dot doors (which locks in the lock, but also up and down the frame of the door). Lambert's flat is probably no exception.
- Nyx:
The film could be developed overnight by Pierre, but it's going to be complicated to get him to send Scoop once again for pick up the very same night. It's going to get expensive...

| When Nyx hands the tools back to Duncan, he puts the picks back in his jacket pockets and the bag of general tools near his feet. He leans in and whispers to Nyx.- Nyx, Auspex 1:
I guess Momo is going to owe you guys big time once he's rescued... assuming we can do so. Or is this just part of the famed Nossie solidarity? "We take care of our own," that sort of thing? I might help a fellow Brujah, but it wouldn't be for free.
I wish I knew whether Momo made it back to the car. There was a piece missing from the ignition; but I don't know if he did that to keep it from getting 'jacked -- re-jacked? -- or if someone else did it to put him on foot. Duncan sighs. Too many questions, not enough answers.

The curved one comes in sets, i recon he was carrying a few when he finished up in the building since those doors can be opened with them. Their old but well used, as for the tools well i'm guessing you've come to the same conclusion i did. It's quite easy to get hold of pick sets online now.
I don't think i can get these done tonight...it's too late in the day. Something tells me he didn't make it back, the smell on the tools says they've been there a while...

Huh. Didn't know they were that easy to get online now. A few years ago, you needed to be a certified locksmith to get them legally. Hurrah for the Internet.
Yeah, I don't think he made it back. Those pictures may not even be related to that job. I didn't think you could get them done tonight. Still, if I took care of it, it would take a few days through normal channels. Duncan grins. But you Nossies have all those connections. You "Know a guy that knows a guy." The fix is in. And all the other things they say in the mob movies.
