Skeezy and Tolsoy wander into the park one evening around eleven. They are not typically here but Kim threw them out of the stable...

Skeezy is a young blonde boy with unruly surfer hair. He is always sniffling and looking droopy and sick. Tolsoy is middle aged, his body looking ravaged by eyars of meth use. Both are dressed in ratty clothes and talking in hushed, angry tones as they stalk through the park...

Cloaked in shadows under a tree, Reina watches the newcomers. She is wary; too many people have been coming and going and fucking with her quiet time.

They are up to something... They are angry. Dominic and Kim are oppressing, they say. Even with a new cleaner they arent allowed any freedom...

Skeezy gets it the worst, being HIV positive he is alwasy the last to feed and only on people bound for the icebox.

Tolsoy is just an addict. Hes angry because he cant cook up his smack in the Stable...

They are hungry, and they are sick of the scraps. So they came here looking for someone to take... someone they figure wont be missed; that they can dope up and drain dry, to finally get all the knives out of their stomachs...

As they reach the middle of the park they seem to lock onto a target. One of reinas homeless population sitting by herself on a bench, sorting cans into two garbage bags...

((2008-08-04 09:40:23 Reina rolls 4 dice to Unseen Presence 4,8,1,4 (failure)))

Reina, attempting to remain unseen, will follow them towards the homeless woman.
She doesn't like the sound of what they are planning. And if they plan to feed...well, the polite thing would be to give her a heads up, like Mister Hyde did.

Reina will drop any obfuscation, walk up and sit down next to the homeless woman.
"Maria, do you want some help with those cans?" she asks, smiling but keeping a wary eye on the two junkies.

Skeezy points right at Reina, snickering as he says to Tolsoy.

'How bout that one eh? We would be hungry again in half an hour...'

Scavengers never want risk. Two targets is an exponential increase of risk... Skeezy and Tolsoy will pass by the two women sorting cans and stare as they do...

"What are you looking at, huh?" Reina asks as the two pass her by. "Take a damn picture, it'll last longer."

She keeps watch as the two pass by, ready to start following again as soon as she's out of their line of sight.

Skeezy will grab his crotch at Reina... But the two men will keep walking. They want an easy target...

Reina gets up after spending a little more time helping Maria sort cans. "Have a good night."

Reina then walks away after the two sleazeballs casing her domain. Once she is out of Maria's line of sight, she will again attempt to become unseen.

((2008-08-09 16:29:08 Reina rolls 4 dice to Unseen Presence 10,7,7,6 (4 successes)))

Now what are those two assholes up to?

When the two scavengers look back and dont see Reina they get brave. When Maria gets up to hike off to wherever she spends the night they begin to follow her.

Tolsoy spins something in his hand, if Reina looks closely she will see that he has a roll of electric tape. Skeezy just tries to control his coughing and seems to twitch with anticipation...

Reina will quietly shadow the pair, getting ever closer, ready to interrupt them as soon as they make a move against Maria.
She will need the advantages her blood grants her, but she knows she must be discreet, she'll have to get Maria out of the way before she can really do anything worth doing.
As she edges closer, closer to the two who so presumptuously invaded her domain, she ponders just how she'll get the human away...

They make their move quick, suddenly both dashing at Maria when she glances back at them. Skeezy is fast and slams into the hobbling womans legs knocking them both to the ground.

Tolsoy looks left adn right, pulling his hands apart with a legth of electric tape he intends to gag Maria with.

Reina spends 1 blood for Celerity.
Reina spends 1 blood for Feral Claws.
Reina [Does not] spend 1 blood for Eyes of the Beast [Because it does not require blood].

Her eyes glowing red in the darkness of the park, Reina gets in between Tolsoy and Maria with a burst of speed.

Bestial eyes, bestial fangs and claws obvious to Tolsoy, she merely says, "Wrong park. Get your friend and get out."

Moving faster than a human possibly could, she moves to pry Skeezy away from Maria.

((2008-08-12 09:37:17 Reina rolls 8 dice to Pry the bastard off 5,2,5,7,4, 10,2,4,5 (2 successes)))

Keeping her glowing gaze averted from Maria, she yells at her to "Run, Maria, just run. I've got this!"

She kicks at Skeezy for good measure. She is definitely not happy with these guys.

((2008-08-12 09:44:40 Reina rolls 7 dice to kick the bastard 8,9,2,5,2, 9,10 (4 successes)))


((2008-08-12 09:47:52 Reina rolls 5 dice to damage 4,5,2,1,2 (BOTCH x 1)))

((2008-08-12 09:50:16 Reina rolls 3 dice to soak (used willpower) 3,10,9 (3 successes)))

The kick does no damage to Skeezy, other than perhaps to his ego. However, Reina's shoe appears to be broken.

She puts herself within fighting distance of both the junkies and looks at them with a "bring it on" expression on her face.

The Scavengers are not up to this fight. Tolsoy drops his tape, yelling to Skeezy.

'Shit! shes one of them! Run!'

Skeezy rolls off maria looking panicked, a set of blunted, short fangs visible in his mouth.

Reina drops all of her powers and watches them run away, satisfied that they won't try that shit here again.

Once she looks normal again, she will go check on Maria and help her up.

Shade will arrive just in time to see two very haggard junkies run past the pool of shadows he's currently standing in, completely unseen and unheard.  This little exchange, this breach of, what do they call it, the Masquerade.  It could be interesting to inform the Prince, but she is after all protecting her domain.

As Reina helps this old woman off Shade will leave his pool of shadow, making note of what happened this night.  Having the Prince as an employer does lend some advantages, like knowing where each and every Kindred who has presented him or herself resides.

Making sure he's noticed, even if just on the edge of her sight, he will walk slowly off down the street, black suit, black tie, black glasses...

The two just run and run. As much as being hungry sucks, being dead-er sucks more... They will let Dominic scavenge for them while they build up their courage again...

Reina, after helping Maria up and making sure she didn't see anything weird, as she did try to keep her shielded from the worst of it, and may explain some things away as "martial arts" or "ninja training" (some people will believe anything of the Japanese), will spot Shade appearing and moving away.

"Oh, Goddammit! Again?" she swears as she runs to intercept the man in black.

Shade will of course notice the Gangrel sprinting towards him.  It finally occurs to him that Reina has never seen Shade, and as such this might wind up being rather amusing.  Shade will continue walking at a constant pace, ever aware of the closing Kindred.

"Hey! you in all the black! I need to talk to you!" she calls a little frantically as she keeps running after Shade.
