Leo had been staring at her guitar longingly, but quickly shook off her somber expression to take on a blank one in order to keep up the facade of toughness. She answered Babette without missing a beat, "Drowning. I swim at night a lot, so maybe drowning would be a good option." Her inner self wanted to throw herself onto the bed and spend the rest of the night watching Simon's Silent Hour, while eating the entire cake in the fridge and occasionally strum her instrument. Deep down, she knows it's not happening. It only made her face harden. "There's an old bike down in the basement* from when I was a kid. We could make it look like I took it to go down to the lake and throw down some of my clothes there, maybe a pair of shoes Y'know, like I drowned. Saw it in a movie once." ((*Do brownstones have basements?))

((I imagine they do. Nonetheless...)) Ellen- "It's already being taken care of. But let's get out of here. I'm sure it's depressing."
Sarah- "Hm. Leo, they can smell you but won't believe that you are the creature you used to be. Still, they'd be more comfortable up your sleeve if you'll have them. If you do, try to make your arm warm for them."

"Uh. I don't think I understand what that means, but ho'kay.." She extended out her arm towards Sarah and tried to focus on making her arm 'warm', whatever that meant. She was a bit more determined this time than when it came to the illusions - Anything for her snakes. Would it work?

Conveniently, she could see the heat in her body, which made this easier to learn. She brought her arm up to a soft glow, and Theo&Scar moved along ((you can use the graphic now.)) Sarah- "I tried to calm them a bit, maybe it worked, but just move real stable. Don't trip."
The snakes were ready to go. They'd crawl inside her clothes if she desired, or just hang out on her arm.

Babette regarded the snake. It was gorgeous and strange, a perfectly suitable pet for a vampire. Satisfied, she left the bedroom, descended, and waited for the others near the front door.
How did Mr. Leo's Father prevent stains in his white palace? It must be a headache ...

The others went along, with Ellen keeping an eye on Leo as they went. Ellen- "Thanks for the help, Sarah. I guess we'll keep you handy until the snakes have a new tank?"
Sarah- "Why not?"
The ladies tracked down a pet store to get Theo/Scar gear, lost Sarah to the bat stylez, and attended Babette's mortal embarrassment...
((DeeK, summarize that leg of the night's journey. As much or as little detail as you want.))

Lo! They journeyed to a trashy apartment building nestled in the character-building south side of the city. Babette's apartment was a bedroom, living room, and kitchen squished into one crowded and tidy space. Fortunately, she had her own bathroom! A closet without a door was embedded in one wall; there, Babette stored her enormous collection of black dresses, black skirts, black turtlenecks, black pants, black blouses, black tights, and one maroon shirt.
She left the lights off and tip-toed to her bedside table. A stack of red envelopes tied by a black ribbon was piled next to the alarm clock. She rummaged through them and pulled several letters from the bunch. On her way out, Babette also grabbed a pet rock with huge googly eyes and a scrapbook. "I didn't take anything anybody would miss, Ellen. Shall we depart into the paling night?"

Ellen- "Good, good..."
There was no time left in the night for clubbing! The damn places were mostly closed. They returned to the new abbey at the Greyburn estate...
((DeeK & Trinity, wait until there's a new post at horrorboys.proboards.com/thread/569/greyburn-abbey?page=8 & then proceed there...))
