"what possible tests could you wish to run."
Seeing that Mrs. Becke was off her phone Mr. Lincoln turns towards her
"I assume that from your calm stature he is in fact still alive and well."

"As you say, Mr. Lincoln. Quinn reports that he is fine and he is investigating the status of the other court members." The corner of her lips turn up into a small smile. "I'm so pleased that I was able to be of some assistance. Perhaps now that this initial panic has subsided, we can move forward with a more measured approach? There's certainly no benefit to be had from hasty decisions or over-reaching our status." She makes pointed eye contact with both Andrew and Prescott. "You wouldn't want to be seen as one who takes advantage of a tragedy for his own personal gain."
She watches their expressions carefully to see if her insinuated accusation strikes a nerve.
OOC-- The person playing the keeper is my husband, so these are actual responses he is giving me as we are sitting on the couch XD

*staying set back, and watches how everyone interacts with each other. Notes that not only is the city in turmoil, but now people are starting to manipulate others. Looks to the gentalmen that mentioned running tests on the letter. Looks back to the lady.*
Good evening. I do not believe that I have had the pleasure of meeting you before. I'm "E".

Looks to the gentalmen that mentioned running tests on the letter. Looks back to the lady.* Good evening. I do not believe that I have had the pleasure of meeting you before. I'm "E". Addy politely extends a gloved hand to E. "The pleasure is all mine. I'm Addy Becke. Have you been enjoying the evening's intrigues? I've only just arrived, but it seems the night is still young." She seems quite at ease given the grievous news, or perhaps she just has classic manners. As she goes to shake the man's hand, a chirping noise can be heard from her purse. "Oh dear, please pardon me. My telephone seems to want some attention." She pulls the device from her purse again and steps a few feet away to answer it. After a quick conversation, she turns to the other people in the room as she slides the phone away once again. "That was Quinn again. He has informed me that no other members of court seem to be available at the moment. That *is* distressing news, is it not?" |

"While I am pleased by your desire to ensure that no one takes advantage of the current situation to take personal gain do remember this. We are at war with the sabbat out princes personal haven was set ablaze and we must ensure that we stay strong at all times. It is our mission out calling to make sure we stay stong and remove those from this city that would dare endanger it. I you agree with that then maybe you will try to be more subtle next time you wish to make an accusation."
Turning towards the door as I look at it for a moment
"This is not the time for you to be aggressive in your speech. This is a time to rally together. And it's unwise to play games with someone as old as me keep that in mind for the future"

"Mr. Lincoln, you wound me!" Addy grabs her chest dramatically, but a smile still creeps over her face. "I assure you I know nothing of this game you believe I am playing. This is certainly no time for division or discord, not time for acute accusations of aggressiveness. I believe I have been nothing but pleasant and helpful since my arrival." She clears her throat and looks at the other people who have gathered.
"So, gentleman, do you require any further assistance, or shall I embark upon my reconnaissance on my own?"

Julia was about to answer Prescott's direct question. But then Mr. Smith arrived. Not sure if she is allowed to speak while being in the presence of so many elders she raises her hand like a child in school.

You can go out on your own, just remember the streets are not a safe place to be. If you decide to go out on your own, please be safe. This city does not need any further dwindling in numbers. Unless it's the Sabbat that is falling.
Earlier there was discussion about things that we need. I do not believe that you were here at that time. If you would like, we can recap.

"Mr Lincoln I think you misunderstand my intentions. That gentleman who claimed to be working for the Archon gave no credentials, and berated Mr. Ulrich. If he really is working for the Archon that's fine -- but given the schemes just launched against the Camarilla in this city, I think we need to take every precaution." He looks serious for an uncharacteristic moment, and there is no joking in his whispering voice. "I want to run a forensic chromatography test -- to authenticate its source. If this is truly an Archon aiding us, that is absolutely fine. But if it is some follow-up ploy -- to get the rest of the cities kindred into the same location, perhaps for a similar attack --I want to know." He looks at Andrew confidently, certain he is being cautious.

Addy smiles at E's concern. "Don't worry Mr. E, I am...." she hesitates then adds, " ...a capable woman." She smooths some invisible wrinkles on her silk gloves. "I would so love a recap of your earlier ministrations, if it's not too terrible of a bother. Perhaps I can offer some services of my own, if they are of want. I may not be as old as Mr. Lincoln, so if I can be of no further use, I can excuse myself to let the elders make the decisions."

She puts down her hand, "Not a question more like a statement. I don't think we can organize logistics right now we might have to wait till Saturday night. What might be wise is that everyone that is available go and gather information from there contacts since we know we will all be there." She smiles, "I have studied forensics and I am very perceptive. I beleive I could be of some help when and if we investigate the penthouse.

"What a marvelous idea, Ms...." Addy frowns unexpectedly. "Oh I'm dreadfully sorry, where are my manners?" She holds out her hand in the woman's direction. "I'm Addy Becke. It's a pleasure to meet another woman with such a level head."

Prescott waits for the two women, respectfully. But, to Mr. Lincoln: "Miss Knight could aid me. That means you have two people judging the letter's authenticity -- no foul play." He looks at Andrew hopefully.

Julia tries to look as regel as the woman but she looks pleases by Addy's remark. She stands up to shake her hand, Julia has a strong firm handshake, which is not unheard of in mortal society for a woman but to the older Kindred it could be a surprise. "A pleasure, I am Julia Knight."
