They could have probably slipped right in. In fact if Beauty werent present you can almost garauntee they would have...

But Beauty has a bit mroe etiquitte than the other nosferatu.

The first sign of their presence would probably be a barking dog or two. Then a suprised, partially grossed out call over the security radios.

'Uh.. Sir, we have three.. uh, people at the front gate asking for you.'

Sure enough on the security monitors would be Beauty, the Shug Monkey and Mr.Grey. All leaning with their faces beetween bars on the gate...

I answer the radio's crackling static quickly, "Ah Francis, it appears my guests have arrived. Please show them in and treat them with respect. I will greet them myself in the parlor." I immediately call my butler to ready the parlor for guests and to bring out those wonderful Havanas I had been saving. I slip on a tie and make myself a bit more presentable and slowly walk to the parlor to welcome them as they arrive.

The ghouls follow orders and open the gate. The three nosferatu take their time wandering up the path.. seeming to enjoy the barely hidden discomfort they cause to the security.

They are an odd trio:

Beauty leads the way, as their elder and primogen. She wears a lovely black dress and pearl necklace that would be much more suited to a Toreador than lanky, misshapen body.

The shug monkey is a stunted little freak with a bulbous face and a long trenchcoat dragging behind him.

Mr.Grey is dressed more formally, in a brown suit and tie.

When The Regent arrives they are waiting quietly in the parlor, in a rough triangle. Beauty having already told them she'd cut off their hands if they touched anything...

"Greetings dear, I am so glad you managed to make it over this evening. Please have a seat" offering Beauty a chair closest to my own.

"It has been too long my dear, would any of you care for a Havana?" I offer them each a cigar before returning to my own seat."Why Beauty, I must say that dress is absolutely ravishing, I miss the twenties every time I see a flapper dress. I am almost motivated to hunt a pinstripe suit, a speakeasie, and dance the Charleston.If only you would accompany." I smile at Beauty, coyly.

"So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"

Flattery will get you everywhere with Beauty. She quietly declines the cigar. Mr.grey and the Shug Monkey will take one, and go back to wandering the parlor like a pair of thieves casing the joint...

'I have a proposition for you my dear Regent.' Beauty rasps as coyly as a cleft lip will let her.

'It wont involve the charleston, unfortunately... but im sure as your aware, a certain kindred owes you a considerable boon for covering up her foolish massacre.'

Beauty grins with a mouthful of fangs, looking like the cat who bit off the canaries head for a screaming crowd...

"Well Well, I was not aware of whom the transgressor was, I only sought to protect ourselves and preserve our cities calm." as I sit back and draw slowly from the cigar.
"I would certainly be in your debt if you would but grace me with the assailants identity. I myself had feared it was a signal from a sabbat pack as they are so fond of wanton violence. Though I will hold you to that Charleston in the future." smiling at her, hoping her debt will not be to taxing. Sometimes one must trust to be trusted and our clan is usually not the most admired in that particular department. A close relation to the Nosferatu would definitely have its advantages.

'I look forward to it, Regent. ' She smiles about as beautifully as a plague victim.

'As noble as your intentions may have been, the kindred responsible is one of us. I also have it on good authority she will be attending court with one of the few kindred who know her...'

Again she grins: 'What i want in exchange for the identity is just a small task... maybe a good one for one of your apprentices. As im sure you have seen... there is a group in town, the -haunted new england- television crew. They have begun bugging my sewers with cameras and audio surveilance making coming and going rather difficult.'

'All i want is for them to be persuaded that there is nothing to see and they should just go away..'

"Consider it done, they should not be pestering you much longer. I am certain they will find some other city calling their name shortly. Do you know anything about this responsible kindred? I do so hate being surprised."

'Shes a trange one who talks to herself... I would guess she is of malkavs brood. She will arrive at court with Tommy Jones, that dope dealing head and waste of immortality... '

Beauty waves her hand dismissively with the Toreadors name..

'None but us are aware of her identity. I figure she will be of more use to you alive, than as a pile of ash at the Prince's feet...'

"I see, well that information will be very useful. She will learn some respect and candor in our city, willingly or not. As to your own dilemma, where might I go about finding these diligent journalists that seem to be invading your domain?" I reply candidly, sitting back in thought. Malkav's blood! Damn the luck, hopefully no relation to Carter, though the kooks do tend to stick together. Even that might be used to my advantage, well no use pondering it, we shall see what comes of it at court.

'Word on the street says they've rented out an entire wing of the Lucky Star... id go there myself and tell them to piss off... but as you can see... that may not exactly accomplish the task...'

Beauty stands, smoothing her dress over her bony, lumpy body.

'Thank you for your help in this matter Regent, and best of luck taming the errant kindred. Shes a rather feisty one.. i hope she can be of some use to you...'

"Certainly it was a pleasure, and we really should get together more often, you are always such a delight." I quickly kiss her misshapen hand and turning to her lessors "Thank you for escorting such a well respected and elegant lady to my domain. I hope you both shall ensure her safety on your return. On second thought, might I offer a ride back to your domain? I can assure you my drivers our excellent and can deliver you safely to wherever your destination is."

Mr.Grey and the shug Monkey both bow in a half graceful, half mocking fashion.

Beauty beams with yellowed fangs as her hand is kissed.

'That will not be neccessary Regent, we can make our own way. Thank you for your hospitality, we will be in touch..'

The three will take their leave, on foot, just like they arrived...
