It's later in the evening. Most of the family frien

dly crowd has given way to adults out with their
friends looking for some fun, or on date nights
finding ways to finish off the evening. In some o
f the darker recesses of Pier 54 there might be s
hadier dealings going on. Cecily is hanging apar
t from the crowd, semi-huddled with a guy enga
ged in quiet conversation. Appearing to be want
ing something from him and not getting anywh
ere. Irritation touches her features as she says s
omething to him before pushing past him and w
298760 Cecily Ramos alking off towards the water front. Those with g Sep-06-2023
ood hearing who might've been in distance wou - 11:31
ld have heard her say "You told me you'd have
more by now. I'm not doing another fucking thi
ng for you until you put the vials in my hands."
Now, she's found a spot against a railing where
she can look at the water, raking a hand throug
h her hair. She's clad in a pair of black skinny je
ans with an oversized deep purple hoodie, free
hand shoved in the hoodie pocket while the oth
er hand falls to tap restlessly against the railin
g.

Well well well. There Emmy was. Standard Emm

y outfit tonight. Oversized sweater with a sphin
x car on it and multiple moon phase symbols. It
was as usual long enough to go down almost o
her knees and she had on her totally awesome
and practical pink sparkly combat boots. She w
298761 Emmy Persson alked along and spotted Cecily and tilted her he Sep-06-2023
ad before her hands disappeared into her sweat - 11:33
er and pulled out the notebook and flipped thro
ugh it as if looking for something, tapped a page
and put the notebook away again before she we
nt over and leaned against the railing "Sup." Sh
e said "I've met you but I don't remember your
name."

Even bright lights have dark deals indeed. He h

ad taken to picking up odd jobs from the locals t
o keep cash in his pocket. Now he's returning fr
om one such delivery. Simple package, simple d
ropoff. He was clad in his usual attire of jeans Sep-06-2023
298762 Paul Smith and boots with a black light jacket. The t-shirt t - 11:35

d delay before she gives a smile. "Good to see y
ou again. You gotta tell me where you get your
hoodies." Her head tilts as she spots Paul too, lif
ting her hand to wave back and in the same mo
tion, invite him over if he was so inclined to sto
p. To Emmy she asks, "How are you liking Seattl
e? You're newer to town or something like that
right?"

His brows perked up with a bit of a smile as he

was gestured over to join them. He headed ove Sep-06-2023
298764 Paul Smith r, hands in the pockets of his jeans. "Hey ther - 11:41
e... Cecily, right?" He lifted his chin to Emmy, sm
iling "How'd the pirate adventure go?"

"Weirdly mixed results, I think my booty is the o

ne getting fucked, but that's beside the point." S
he waved a hand with a smile to Paul and then t
298765 Emmy Persson o Cecily "Internet mostly." She nodded "I'm havi Sep-06-2023

when things require tits to do stuff."

"That's me. Nice to see you again Paul. That Dre

sden book is pretty good. I'm almost done with i
t." Cecily offers up, raising a brow at the mentio
n of pirates. "Pirate adventure? Sounds like fu
n." Though she laughs at Emmy's answer to the Sep-06-2023
298766 Cecily Ramos question. "How many things require tits to do st - 11:48
uff?" A genuine asked question. "I mean, not lik
e I'm hiding Double Ds under this thing," She pl
ucks at her hoodie, the size of which makes it di
fficult to tell what she might look like undernea
th at all. "But I'm curious."

"Well sometimes you hunt the booty, sometime

s you are the booty I suppose" He mused to Em
my before offering Cecily a wide smile "Hey tha Sep-06-2023
298767 Paul Smith t's great..." Then the conversation turned to tits - 11:53
and the token male here gets quiet "...There's a
few things that require them but I'm not sure si
ze matters there" He mused, a lot to himself

"Honestly, Cecily...you would be surprised." She

nodded with a small smirk "I will totally judge th Sep-06-2023

nodded "What's a Dresden?"

now idly fiddling with her wrist sleeve since sh
e's turned away from the railing to face Emmy a
nd Paul more fully. "Did you end up getting a bo
ok the other day after I left?" She added this qu
estion towards Emmy.

"Nah, got distracted by a ghost." She nodded "O

298772 Cecily Ramos added. "It seems pretty neat, plus I always enjo Sep-06-2023

Cecily studies Paul for a beat when he says that

and gives a single nod when Emmy says it's a tr
end. "Yeah. A lot of people recently have up and
left without warning." She agrees. "All night owl
s from what I've gathered." It's an analogy. For
Vampires. Not entirely sure if it will land but if it
298779 Cecily Ramos does land, maybe that's an indication that these Sep-06-2023

l, it doesn't!
"Knowing how to punch people can be useful, y
eah. I prefer to talk my way out of situations bu

He fingergunned towards Cecily "If this" He gest

Emmy narrowed her eyes a bit "I can teach yo

alling her bluff or ya know...maybe just going to

Cecily doesn't seem concerned when she sees t

moment. Though she does swallow hard and th
ere's an uptick in her heartbeat like maybe sh
e's just realized something else with the revelati
on of Emmy, at least, likely being a Kindred.
298782 Cecily Ramos Whatever it was, she doesn't vocalize. Instead, Sep-06-2023
"No one knows what the fuck is going on. At lea - 12:27

gh. Cecily's response wasn't unexpected it see
med though. He shook his head in response "N

and vanished"

Emmy's fangs popped back into place and she n

odded "Velma's sweet. Probably to sweet. She's
Emmy curious." She nodded "Yeah that's why
298784 Emmy Persson I'm here, my folks want new turf, they need mu Sep-06-2023
scle, I was called in." She nodded "You a rogue n - 12:30
ow?" She asked curiously "Oh wait there is my p
hone." She said and stepped away (Time for dog
s. I will be back shortly)

Cecily takes in this new information with a coup

le nods, processing it. "My sponsor was, is?, Ever
ett Strong. He's a Firebrand. I'm not sure if he's
who you were supposed to be making a delivery
too or not." She says as Emmy steps steps off to
take a call. "I-" She starts, pauses as if debating Sep-06-2023
298785 Cecily Ramos how much she should say, but then decides to f - 12:38
orge ahead. "I wasn't a-I'm not a ghoul. Or anyt
hing. I just, my skillset was useful to him. So I've
just been trying to keep things, uhm, business a
s usual Mundanely. Kind of flailing in the dark o
therwise though. But I guess that's probably par
for the course right now."

His nose instinctually wrinkled at the mention o

f Firebrand "I'm a Courier for... the other guys, Sep-06-2023
298786 Paul Smith we'll say so I doubt it, actually" He let out a sigh - 12:41
and a nod "Not Bonded but you Know. Honestl
y anyone else would give a damn..."

There's a somewhat darker look that touches C

ecily's eyes, glancing over to the water and then
back. "No. I - he did try. To Bond me. Without th
e ghouling." She lighting scratched at the back o
f her neck. "I don't think it worked as well as he
298788 Cecily Ramos wanted it to but there's still some side effects." Sep-06-2023
She straightened a little. "I'm happy to help out. - 12:46

"Makes sense. I think we need all hands on deck

"It's a good business to be in... living around peo

Cecily withdraws her hand to accept the slip of

cardboard, eyeing it briefly before sliding it into
