Santi- "I felt something. Maybe try again when we're farther apart."
The car rolled closer to the University District, and all manner of possible trouble from peeps recognizing the men...

"Shootfire! Next time for sure... Is there any other skills we can practise while we're out?" August hunched over the wheel, hoping it would help him not be recognised as much. He wasn't the most popular guy at school by any stretch but he was friendly and there weren't many other Antearctans about at BADA. He could probably pretend to be his own cousin, people had pretty funny ideas about family in Antearctos.

Santi- "Maybe, but perhaps better to do so when you are not driving."
((We'll wait for a last Quinn check-in before hitting the campus.))

Quinn- "Good show, August. Perhaps I'll have a bash at it later. It will be more convenient than hand-signals at any rate." At least the normally dour musician seemed to be in good spirits, ready for their 'mission'.

They arrived at the dorms. August parked in a visitor lot after a little toodling around, and the vampires considered their next move. Santi- "OK, here it is. You don't use an electronic key for this building, do you? I noticed you have both kinds on your keychain."
Actually, August didn't have his keychain on him, but maybe Santi had their personal effects on him?

August was somewhat concerned by the whole Santi having his keys thing, what else did he have? It sure beat breaking and entering though." Do ya have them? Nah, the electronic one is for rooms around campus, film equipment storage and stuff. Just normal lock and key for the dorms, some people don't even bother. We're one big family.. were. So ah I guess you'll go up, then let me know if the room is clear? So what will ya do if he is up there?"

Santi- "A little bit of magic. Brain magic."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out August's keychain, spinning it around a finger. Santi- "So come with me part of the way, hang back in a shadow like some kind of knit-cap hooligan, and wait for the signal."
He started walking toward the building, glancing back at his followers.

"Hey! You do have my keys..Do ya have my phone too? Some of those messages are private..." The keychain was jangly with a little silver gun hanging from the ring and a worn plastic Antearctan flag. August hopped out of the car following Santi towards the dorms still hunching over a bit. He swung his shoulders a bit trying to look more hooligan like and less August like."Bombaroo! Mind magic! Ever use it at parties?"

Quinn followed more closely behind Santi, nearly at his shoulder. He didn't expect to recognize anyone here after all and it would look suspicious if more than one of them acted shady. Quinn- "Easy, mate. Santi's probably seen enough that I highly doubt the contents of your phone would be all that scandalous or interesting."
Quinn- "More 'magic'? Santi, if we can do so much then why hide from humans like we do? I don't plan on challenging convention, mind you...I'm just curious." After all, the more rules he knew about his existence, the less of them he was likely to accidentally break.

They walked toward the building. Santi- "Better for wolves if sheep don't expect them, right? Of course, humans could destroy us if they got the notion, but most supernatural things of the world are beneath their notice. I think they have bigger problems than ghouls and ghosts. As for you phone, August, I'm not reading it and we'll be holding it just a little longer..." A fiery young lady came out of the stairwell door, nodded at them, and continued without a care. "No one you know? Also, from here, where do we go?"
They were standing at one of the building's back and side exits.

Quinn- "I see your point." Santi was right, of course. The day they had been turned, Quinn's main concerns had been struggling through another day at work and getting home in time to feed Sal. It was no wonder they'd been taken so very easily. The thought chilled him a bit so he turned from it and waited for August to direct them.

The dorm was a large bricked building that had been built 50 or so years ago. The large glass door to the stairwell was framed in white wood . From what they could see of the inside, were worn checkered linoleum and white plastered walls built to withstand the many drunk rowdy art students that had trampled the halls. August turned to glance at the small female fireball. “I dunno, probably not. It's up on the third floor, we can take the main stairs but there's some towards the back this floor that's are kinda danky. Vampires are into the dank, right? Guess we should stop using the V word for now though... Must have been spotted a couple times, we.. I mean they've heard of us from somewhere. Supernatural beings must hate the film industry, huh? We don't exactly make 'em glamorous.”

Santi- "Ehh... it doesn't bother me."
He walked up to the door, tested it, and glanced back. Santi- "Well, it's unlocked, so we won't both be needing keys. I'll go up to your room with Quinn. These back stairs will be more discreet, even if they are 'dank'. Just let me know the room number and we'll get started."

"Room 302 , I guess I'll just hang in the staircase looking shifty as heck. Hopefully no one thinks ta buy drugs offa me." August followed the others as far as the staircase then hung back in the shadows and leant against a wall. He looked a lot like someone just trying to look dodgy.
The staircase was indeed dank and narrow, it had a strong dust smell and linoleum was peeling here and there on the floor. All it was missing was a broken light flashing ominously. Obviously the maintenance staff didn't bother with it much.
((Do you want me to shoot you my room descripty colour stuff, Chris?))

((Thx, Indea. Will use as appropriate.)) Santi- "Come along, Quinn. And August? Try to feel the shadows, pull them over you like a blanket. Good luck."
Quinn & Santi were outta sight!
((We'll all use the same thread to reduce clutter, even tho the group is splitting. For Quinn/Santi posts, put "In Quinnsland" at the top. For August posts, put "In Augustarctos" at the top. I will do likewise.))
