    Juliette had kept a lazy smile on her face the whole ride, occasionally making a faint amused noise in the back of her throat as she watched the singed vampire she was sitting next to. When Reno asked her for her weapon, all of that dropped away, her eyes turning hard.
    "No, Reno. My weapon stays with me, or my mother does not get the pleasure of my company. Do you want to deny a princess of the Raith family? Have you really gotten that cocky serving drinks to mortals from behind a counter?"

    "Ha.
    Ha.
    HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, oh that's a good one, pull the other one, it plays jingle bells." James chortles as he pretends to wipe a tear away from his eye. "Three options here 911; we engage in appropriate mutual disarmament, and I get to lock up all those kalishnakovs and frisk every single no neck you have wandering around here, Mama Raith saunters her cute skinny ass out here and guarantees me some safe passage in person, or you get to see exactly how good your property insurance is. Personally, I'm kinda hopin you pick option 3."
    Your compel, I decline it sir.

    "I think you have me confused with your errand boy Dorian Miss Raith. You would do very well not to do so again. I will not force you to disarm yourself but if you refuse you will be forced to wait for us to return in the car. Exactly the same as any other child in the throes of a tantrum would be. " The red headed White Court giggles too loudly as she looks at Juliette waiting for her reaction.

    Dorian sits up in his seat knocking his now empty glass across the carpeted floor. "Hey what the hell Reno? I'm not just gonna sit here and let you..."

    Reno doesn't seem to move but suddenly his hand fastens itself around Dorian's neck and the vampire begins making a horrible choking sound. Continuing the chokehold for several seconds Reno releases Dorian and pushes him back into his seat. "You will do precisely as you are told boy, nothing more." Dorian rubs at his extremely red neck and shoots hateful glares at everyone in the limo while saying nothing.
    Yeah...Reno has really good social defense. Bad attack but good defense. He shrugs off your Intimidation without any trouble. You can try another tact if you like though.

    Turning his attention to James Reno smiles an entirely mirthless smile. "I've been authorized to guarantee you the hospitality of the Raiths during this visit Mr. McDonall. That said I would advise you not to speak of your host in such a derisive manner again."
    4 intimidation social attack against James. Let me know what you roll.

    During the car voyage Dr Meyer typed a short message into his phone:
    'En Route to Raith manor, Lady rounding up supernaturals... inc daughter. Also activity at Bliss. Anything going on around White Court?'
    Could be a Contact test for info?

    Dr. Meyer's message gets no until the limo stops in front of the gate to Raith Manor. A brief text message from an unavailable number comes through while waiting for the gate to open. "I have spoken to Lay Raith, this matter requires your presence, I have assured your safety but remain cautious. Only a fool lets their guards down when dealing with the vampires."

    Before Reno can respond the female White Court says "The old ones taste terrible anyway."

    Setting his feet and turning his shoulders, James aims a steely eyed glare at the vampire and slowly repeats. "1...2...or 3."

    Reno pauses a moment as he looks at James then he steps out of the vehicle leaving the door open behind him. "Bring one weapon if you must troll, not that it would do you any good."

    Rey thought about making the joke that to disarm him, the vampires would literally have to remove his arms. However, the werefox didn't want to take the chance that they'd actually comply with his request.

    "Lead on, Reno." Rey gestures for the red-haired vamp in an "after you" motion before exiting the limo himself.

    Reno and the red head lead the way up a short staircase and through the front door of Raith Manor. More armed guards can be seen wandering the grounds in groups of two, a few of them are speaking into walkie talkies but they are too far away to make out what they are saying.

    The interior of Maria Raith's home is every bit as grand as the exterior. Beautiful marble covered by intricately patterned narrow carpets run down the middle of the floor. Oil paintings of numerous scenes and portraits of more than a dozen people hang on the walls. Open doors branching off from the hall lead to several unoccupied sitting rooms filled with antique furniture made of very dark wood. When Reno reaches the end of the hallway he stops in front of the only closed doorway you have seen. He knocks on the door twice and a women's voice from within says "Enter".

    Opening the door you see that it leads to a large study, although it is an especially well furnished one. A black desk that looks more like a coffin than anything else sits in the middle of the room in front of several bookshelves. Two large dark green couches sit in front of the desk. Jacob Gunderson is sitting on one of the couches silently. The were-swan has clearly been in a fight since almost the entire left side of his face consists of one giant bruise and several open wounds are dripping blood from his face.

    Sitting in front of Jacob on her desk is a pretty women in a black dress. Hair the color of straw with the texture of silk hangs down past her shoulders. Intelligent green eyes seem to be taking in everything all at once without giving away any hint as to what drives the mind behind them. Maria Raith smiles and gestures at the couches in front of her. "Lovely of you to come and pay us a visit, have a seat."

    Jacob does not meet Rey's eyes, instead he keeps his eyes locked on the floor as though he is terrified to look up.

    Maria slips down from her desk smoothing out her dress with long sweeps of her hand. "I'm certain that you were able to get a fair view of Bliss before coming here Mr. Nardo. What did you think when you saw my club has been burned to the ground?" Her tone betrays no anger but her eyes are searching as she looks at Rey.

    Maria stares at Rey for a moment then laughs a little and smiles a real smile for the first time. "Precisely. There are not many in this city who would dare to make such an open act of aggression against me, but I am investigating a short list of suspects. One of them of course being yourself Mr. Nardo."

    "I know how much your care for your little Pack, you would do anything to protect them. That sort of devotion can sometimes cause a person to take...an extreme course of action. Perhaps you would like to see me beheaded and your weres as the new ruling power in Pittsburgh?" Turning towards Jacob she smiles a bit more. "Luckily for you Mr. Gunderson has been quite forthcoming in answering my questions, I no longer believe you are responsible for burning my club to the ground."

    Maria steps behind Rey and places a hand on his shoulder. "That is why I am going to allow you to find out who did it for me."

    "Indeed you will." Stepping around her desk and sliding into the high backed wooden chair behind it Maria splays her hands in front of her on the desk. "If you deliver the person, or persons, responsible for this terrible deed to me within the next seventy-two hours you will save the lives of half the men, women, and children in Pittsburgh. If you fail to do so then the Raiths will feed as they have not in three hundred years."

    "Really? That's what you're going with here? 'Do it or I'll kill a bunch of people'?" James shifts his grip on his hammer and surveys threats, exits, and casts an appraising glance at Juliette and Rey. "So assuming we don't just head your mad plan off at the pass by burning this place to the ground around you, what makes you think you'll survive riling up the entire mortal populace and galvanizing every other supernatural faction in the tri-state area hell maybe even Canada? Is a slight against your " makes air quotes with his spare hand" 'reputation' really worth those risks? Not to mention how poorly such direct action will reflect on you in the court. I think you haven't really thought this out maybe you need a villainous scheme refresher course..."

    Throwing her hands up into the air Maria sighs. "I quite agree with you on this affair Mr. McDonall, it is not the White Court's way in the least. Unfortunately I am bound by Court law to obey Lord Raith, and these are his orders not mine. In truth he wanted to raze the entire city to the ground but we negotiated more amiable terms."
    Reno, Maria, the red head, and Dorian are the only White Courts in the room. There are no weapons anywhere in sight. There are two exits, the door you came through and a large stained glass window.

    Having grudgingly surrendered her knife to Reno, Juliette let loose a short laugh. "Please, mother. Lord Raith would never bother speaking to you over such a minor matter. Why, I'd not be surprised if this was nothing more than Reno trying to pull an insurance scam. But since another hotspot of the supernatural was burned down across town at about the same time, I will look into it. Something's not quite right in this city."

    Maria looks at Juliette as though she were an especially unpleasant looking variety of grub. Reaching into one of her desk drawers she withdraws a manilla folder and tosses it onto the desk. "This folder contains the information my agents have been able to uncover in their initial investigation. It may prove useful during your investigation. There is a car waiting outside to take you where you direct it, you are dismissed."

    Dorian steps towards the open door walking right past Reno while keeping them man at arms length. "Hey Jules I'm gonna catch a ride back to town with you guys. Seeya in the stretch."

    Contents of Maria's Folder
    The manilla folder is nearly empty and contains a mere five sheets of paper. Two of the pages are nothing more than copies of the blueprints of Bliss, yellow post-it-notes have been fixed to these and offer numerous theories on how a fire might have been started. Pyromancy and the various flame-spawned supernaturals are suggested several times on these notes.

    The remaining pages appear to be a list of possible culprits for the arson, their whereabouts at the time of the fire, and photographs suggesting each of these suspects were already under observation. There are also handwritten testimonies which seem to have been taken from people, and a few members of the White Court, who were within the club when the fire started. For the most part these accounts are confused, and most of them conflict with one another in some way or another. A few describe the fire beginning with an explosion, others say it began in the kitchen and spread out of control. One account taken from a White Court confirms the sighting of a phoenix which set the bar ablaze before being engulfed in flames.

    The list of suspects has only three names which have not been crossed out with a single dark line of ink. Even though they have been crossed out you can see that the names of Rey, Juliette, James, and Dr. Meyers were also formerly among them.

    Name: Simon Phaunos
    Affiliation: Independent Escapee of the Summer Court
    Current Whereabouts: Unknown
    Last Sighting: 2 days prior to the attack at his residence.

    Name: Anna Blake
    Affiliation: The Grave Robbers
    Current Whereabouts: Unknown
    Last Sighting: 2 days prior to the attack, Allegheny Cemetery .

    Name: Bill Shaughnessy
    Affiliation: The White Council
    Current Whereabouts: 2420 Brookline Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA
    Last Sighting: See above.

    "Hmmm, an interesting list of suspects. First glance, I'm not sure I see a motive for any of them to pick a fight with a vampire court, that's usually reserved for the exceptionially brave or stupid. I wonder why a White Council member was hanging out at a Cemetery. Anyone know this Anna Blake? I may need to ask around about her.."

    I made a stupid remark earlier because I confused "White Court" with "White Council" edited due to that.

    Dorian doesn't look at Juliette until he's settled himself back inside of the limo and poured a very large drink for himself. He swirls the amber colored liquor in his glass casually. Finally he glances out of the limo's window back towards Maria's house apparently checking to be certain that none of the other White Courts are lurking nearby them and that they are out of earshot.

    "Lets say I did hold something back from mommy dearest, what's in it for me if I feel like sharing with you?" Dorian raises the glass to his mouth and tilts it up pouring half of the liquid within down his throat in a single gulp.

    "The usual. A favor for a favor, dear Dorian. If my father really is invested in the situation here, then any edge I can get on my mother will be extremely valuable.

    Dorian chokes a bit on his drink but just barely manages to avoid spitting it into Juliette's face. Looking over Juliette's ruined clothing he a lecherous smile spreads across his face as he sets the remainder of his drink on the floor in front of him. "You're on if you promise to where something a bit more appealing on our big night." The smile disappears and Dorian seems to become something much sturdier all at once. "Maria knows I was in Bliss when the shit hit the fan, I told her I didn't see anything because I got trapped under a beam that fell. Which is actually sort of true." Another very stupid grin appears. "What I didn't tell her was that while I was pinned I saw the four WHite Courts getting their heads handed to them. Literally. As in torn off of their necks and tossed back at them."

    Back in Maia's study Jacob is having difficulty moving under his own steam, the instant the gathered party had been dismissed he'd shot out of his chair like a startled cat. The muffled hisses of pain that tore through his clenched teeth spoke volumes about what he'd endured this evening. Making his way towards the door he leans on Rey's shoulder for support, the athletic man's weight pushes on Rey but Jacob manages to keep himself from falling over. Once they make it to the steps of Raith Manor he turns and spits a bloody wad of saliva on the bottom step.

    "The bitch let them feed on me." Jacob slides into the limousine and takes a seat as far from Dorian and Juliette as possible while still remaining in the limo.

    "This day just keeps getting better and better. Whatever you need, man, I got your back. Where do you want us to take you?" Rey was concerned, but he didn't want it to seem like he was fawning over the man like a worried mother hen.

    "Not sure, they trashed my place when they scooped me up. I'm definitely going to kill the damn doorman as soon as I get these ribs fixed though." Wincing and pressing a hand to his side he leans closer to Rey and starts whispering to avoid being overheard. Much of the bravado vanishes from his voice and more than a hint of fear is clear in it. "Just get me to a hospital, I'll be fine in a day or so. You better watch your ass though Rey, don't turn your back on those things."

    Walking backwards behind Rey and Jacob, James enters the car last closing the door and monopolizing the back seat of the limo without further comment.

    "If something is out there killing White Court, it'd at least explain the unusual agressive behaviour we've just witnessed.

    Of course, I'm not sure I'm happy to go after someone who can so easily end a vampire. Combine that with the appearance of other monsters, I'm not sure it really fits the bill of a White Council Warden or that Anna Blake lady. I'd say we go searching for the Fae., see if he's got some answers."

    A speaker in the wall pops with a bit of static before a tinny voice comes through, presumably that of the driver. "Whenever you've chosen your destination please let me know and I'll take you there straight away." His voice carries the very faint hints of a british accent. The limousine pulls away from Raith Manor gravel popping beneath it's tires again as it pulls through the main gate and onto the road outside.

    "Fire is the sweet death granted by the Summer Court. Take us to Simon Phaunos's residence." Juliette leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes for a moment as she tried to work through the possible attackers. None of them seemed to quite fit the bill, none of them had anything to gain from directly attacking the White Court.

    "Little bird... Jacob, was it? Did my mother or her sycophants say anything while they were feeding on you?"

    "Hartwood Acres it is madame." The limousine continues down the road at a steady pace.

    Looking at Juliette Jacob seems to hesitate before speaking for a moment. "Nothing little about me vampire, and for the most part they were busy with beating me to a bloody pulp, and snacking. They kept me in their damn wine cellar for most of the night, I was only in that study about five minutes before you showed up. The white witch wanted to offer me a job."

    The drive to Hartwood Acres passes quietly, traffic is almost non-existent at this time of night, although it does seem to be taking longer than usual.
    Everybody make a Driving check for me please.
