"Handlers? Is that like another way of saying spotter? Sorry I is Bruja, me no not about fancy words such."

:He holds out his arms, making his hands into fists:

"These guys were all I really ever knew how to 'communicate'. They always did the talking for me."

:He lowers them and brings them to his sides:

Piscin smiles at Eric's attempt to understand her, and replies in smooth, fluent and flawless Mandarin Chinese.

OOC: PM if you speak it and I'll send you the translation.

:Eric looks absolutley confused:

"Yup. I was right. Spotters."

:He smiles sarcastically:

Slightly frustrated, Piscin just nods in lukewarm agreement with Eric's response.

Looking even more confused with the foreign language, Faye remembers that she had to set up her surprise. "I'll be riiiggghhhttt back" and runs inside the bar.

"If memory serves the last time we played with these folk we ran into a herd of shamblers in the process. And we had James and Grendel to back us up."

He gave Eric a curt nod. "And I don't think they would be good additions at this point, even if James were here. Johan would be a plus...but he's with James."

:Eric gives the majority of kindred looks of discomfort and worry:

"Guys...I got a real, real bad feeling that this ain't gonna go so well for us. Staking wight kids was one thing...this is a bit more supernatural. I'm sure some of you have had experience in these endeavors, but it only takes one of these fucks to mess everything up and bring a world of pain."

:He lights another ciggy:

"I know by now getting my point across, I'm beating a dead horse; you can't stake a wraith."

Faye walks back out, without the present in hand. She heard just the end of what Eric said "Well of course you can't stake them, even I knew that " and giggled while walking back up to cyrus.

:He gives Faye a modest look:

"I was merely be facetious. But seriously, stake + wraith = pissed off wraith."

:He laughs as he takes another drag:

Piscin switches back to English. She doesn't seem to have noticed that she was speaking anything else.

"Yes, what we are proposing is considerably more dangerous than staking some wights. We're talking about going onto infernal tainted ground to seek the source of Ba'ali power in the region. There's no way to do that without something going horribly wrong...but you all still need answers. So we plan, and do it right."

She pauses, a bit surprised at her own lucidity, but running with it.

"So the place is still guarded by wraiths. Faye can speak with them, and we can hope she's diplomatic, but that probably isn't enough if you think they'll be pissed off. Are there any Samedi or Giovanni local to you? If not, I know a few I can call in. If we are going to be opening our consciousness to something as evil as the Ba'ali, having...spotters...is a good plan too. Some of my gang may show up to do this for me. We should also be looking for bane spirits, and ideally we'd bring in somebody who knows enough about ley lines to trace them and see if they're corrupted. That's really the purview of the Tremere, as much as I hate to admit it. Again, we can work with what he have - Faye and me figuring out what we can in a rather abstract way - or I can call in Tremere help as well. I know those who claim to be Anarch and also those in the Camarilla who would help us anyway."

Another brief pause, but she keeps going before she loses her surprisingly linear train of thought.

"Basically, we don't want to do this half-assed. We need to assemble a team. Preferably that team would be local and capable, but if you all want outside help I can hook you up. I don't know whose choice that is to make around here."

"They aren't exactly the 'listening to diplomacy' type... but I'm willing to help if you think we can find anything useful out by doing this. Cyrus is the more.. combat or plan minded one of our group, so I'll leave him to discuss things until everyone comes to a decision."
She looks curiously at Piscin again before leaving Cyrus's back and walking into the bar.

:Eric responds while Piscin mentions Samedi and Giovanni:

"I know a guy not to far from here, a Samedi who goes by the name of Sid Lucius. He runs the strip club over by Sabot territory. I've been to Stilettos a few times, even asked a favor or two of Sid. Gotta say though, he ain't cheap, and he ain't too fond of us Anarchs."

:He take another drag:

"The other guy is Antwan Giovanni, a local more relative to these parts. His methods seem more conventional then your typical hell-raiser, but I think he would be more suitable in this scenario, seeing how they have a knack on the whole undead thing."

:He flicks it away:

"But, you're right. We definitely don't wanna bum rush this thing all half-cocked. We need a solid plan, a plan B, a back-up plan and an emergency plan if all hell does break loose. I may even speak with this Tremere Vlad again, even though I already owe him from a few nights ago. Either way, we gotta pull all the stops."

She listens to the choices Eric outlines before presenting some other options.

"There are some Anarch brothers in Gainesville who deal with wraiths. That would be Edmund, a Samedi, and Delilah, a Malkavian who used to be in his gang. If you want, I can ask them if they'd make the trip up before you have to pay for outside help."

"As for Tremere - again, we have options within the Movement. There's one out on the West Coast who deals with spirits and such. Haven't met him in person yet but we've been in touch and I might be able to convince him to travel out this way. There's also the Tremere that ragequit the Camarilla and signed on with the Sons of Odin." (Her tone and expression become a bit more disapproving here.) "Despite questions as to their commitment to the Cause, they are old, powerful and would probably make the trip out here. Plus The Warbringer vouches for them. I also know a Cammie Tremere who's an ally of mine and also of the Movement. He's about as powerful as the ones that Svidi bought - which is to say, powerful - and he'd charge a hell of a lot less than this Vlad guy would."

OOC - This might turn into proxies for plot purposes. We should make sure Bruce is cool with it.

:Eric stretches out his arms by bringing one over the other and vice versa:

"Fair enough. Whomever we do get to go with us on this mission has got to know what they're doing regardless. I don't think we got any room for error on this one. Any foul-ups could us our lives indefinitely, and then some."

Piscin pulls out her phone and starts sending messages. Almost instantly, she starts getting responses.

"Yeah, I can pull in help. But we need to know what we're looking for. No word from Rockledge yet - you guys have any other kind of government set up out here?"
