Ep 51 - Dinner Date

by Anton Rossini

It is a month since the Coterie last got together…
 
Sat, 20 Feb 2021
 
Oxford organises a gathering of the Coterie at a city park for a catch up. Larissa tells Anton that Malady is “missing” and she is concerned about what may have happened to her, but Anton is dismissive of this being a significant concern.
 
Anton presents a proposal Kinsley has prepared regarding a property investment opportunity on the corner of Victoria Pde and Brunswick Street - includes a pawn shop, mortician's office, independent theatre/cinema (capacity of 130), a number of restaurants, several medium-grade offices and some residential spaces.
It requires substantial investment and Anton advises Larissa that this will hamper discretionary spending for some time and she will need to get used to it.
 
As hunger is now an issue, the group decides to go hunting. Heading towards the theatre district, Anton almost immediately (deliberately) bumps into a suitable target, apologising and charming her into a drink with him at Lennon's - an exclusive hip but high-end hotel bar. Larissa takes her leave, and Oxford sits on a stool and (enviously!) watches Anton at work.
 
After a time, Anton offers to escort his lady home, where she invites him in for a nightcap and he successfully feeds (2 pts).. but he will follow up over successive days to make sure she recovers from her “bad turn”.
 
Returning to the bar, Larissa and Oxford ask to view the property location but, on the way, Anton notices a solid looking woman who approaches the group and recognises each by name. She asks that we go to a shop for a quick discussion and Anton recognises the voice as one he heard before the explosion in the high rise - she is Malady’s Sire, who caused the blast.
 
Anton’s beast arises suddenly and he grabs her by the throat and throws her into an alley, pulling his gun on her, and suggests she starts talking from there.
 
She accuses us of having been a pain in her arse and coming between her and her “child”, but tells us Malady has been missing for some weeks and she doesn’t know where she is. She offers a deal to deliver Goliath’s resources if the Coterie will find and recover Malady and inform her where Malady has been.
 
Anton unsuccessfully tries to stake her (piercing skin and meeting some form of subcutaneous armour, but ultimately agrees to the deal.
