[b][u]Ventrue Tower[/u][/b]

	Camarilla Prince Sebastian Lacroix finishes off a meeting with the primogens, they take their leave and Lacroix somberly walks through his office on the top floor of the Tower. He begins to reflect deeply on his goals, ruminating over a glass of high-born blood. He looks out the window of his office, thinking of how to win the war against the Sabbat, how to somehow rid himself of the Anarchs and his secret dealings with the Kuei Jin. 

	He thinks of the coffin, of how he can get into it. Lacroix may be a high ranking member of the Camarilla, but he wasn't above thoughts of Diablerizing such a powerful vampire that could be hiding within the coffin. With that power, he could rule L.A, no, the whole [i]world[/i] with an Iron Fist of might. Who could be hiding within the coffin, could it be the wizard Tremere, the rebellious Brujah or even Lord Ventrue himself? He turns to his Sherrif and orders him into the night, to establish the dominance of the Camarilla against his enemies and to perhaps find a pawn that could help him achieve his goals. 

[b][u]Elsewhere in L.A[/u][/b]

	The Technocracy and the Council of the Nine Mystic Traditions sit in their office buildings, still at war with one another. Some of the mages in these factions are wary of the end times, sensing the Primordial Essence on Astral Winds. 

	The Fera of the forests itch with anxiety, words of the coming Apocalypse on their minds. They do what they can to protect the wilderness outside L.A, and have struck up a deal with the Camarilla to stop any urban expansion in their territory in exchange for killing any of their enemies that they could get their paws on. The compromise is on a thin red line, it is an uneasy alliance and the Fera do not feel right working for vampires. How long this might last is up to debate.

	Meanwhile, the spotting of the coffin has triggered rumors of Gehenna among the vampires of L.A. Beckett moves out to disprove these rumors while Smiling Jack decides he's going to have some fun...

[u][b]Tony Lee[/b][/u]

	Tony moves through the streets of Chinatown, unafraid of the Kuei Jin haunting the every nook and cranny of the Oriental section of L.A. He was on a mission to help a young hunter named Yukie, who's master was slain by a fellow Hengeyokai, but not of the same species as him. He thinks back to his meeting with Yukie.

	"I look for Hengeyokai who kill my master, he is terrible monster like you. You though, are different monster. You hunt Kuei Jin. That make you good to me. I look only for Rokea. You help me find him?" Yukie asked. Tony spoke Mandarin and Yukie spoke Japanese, so they could only communicate with broken English. Tony was in disbelief that such a young girl was a hunter looking for vengeance, and wanted to help her. 

	"Yes, I look for monster with you. When we find him, we slay him together. He is different monster than me, kills for money and glory. I don't like this kind of Fera." Tony Lee said to Yukie. They split up and went to look for the Hengeyokai separately.
