<strong>Zayaah:</strong><br/><br/>Raiden grumbled as he made his ungainly way to his booth at the bar.  He couldn't quite fit into it completely, but at least it gave him the appearance of trying to care about appearances.  The bitch was late, he knew that much.  He glared over to the thugs to his left and well... front, as a gash opened in his red face to order himself some sushi.  He'd get a buffet, of course.  It was very difficult to grow fat on sushi, yet somehow Raiden managed it.<br/><br/>Sweating, he pulled out his cell phone and made a quick call, tracing the status of the target.  He could certainly handle this job himself, but it was potentially too dirty for his hands.  The massive vampire patted his pocket, smiling about the hand grenade tucked there.  Once the Mekhet showed up, she could be congratulated for her show of initiative in front of the Prince, then tasked with the dangerous chore...<br/><br/><strong>Hanna:</strong><br/><br/>Several black shapes populated the office, many of them hanging in the air as if they did not have occupants.  Lygia, the Noseferatu primogen, sat behind a desk at the central administrative office of West Seattle Psychiatric Hospital, idly looming as a dark presence.  Before her stood, or rather knelt, the mercenary who was being brought in for the job.  "So, for this contract, you will receive a vitae reliquary up front, and our artifacts once you have completed the assigned objectives.  Do you accept the contract?"<br/><br/>Before Lygia stood a small clay jar, filled with blood, and sitting right next to a devoutly clasped wooden box, containing a relic known as the blades of the assassin.  The box contained two wavy Kris daggers, designed to be strapped to the user's wrist.  The artifact was claimed to date from the crusades, and said to enable the user to move in utter silence so long as he or she avoided the gaze of the sun and moon.  Both daggers had a number of small scratches, dings, and burns on them, suggesting that the previous owners of the relic had not parted with it at the auction house.
