"Do you have everything you need Jamie?" Dale asks his...assistant? Retainer? Trail mix? Well whatever word you wish to use it all meant the same thing to a vampire like him; 'helper'.
"Yeah, I got the list." The eighteen year old Mexican American would respond. "Before I head out for the evening can I-"
Dale cuts him off; "Perhaps when I get back. Remember I need all the games in that series. Having to waste my time blowing through them before i can get to work is annoying enough on its own. I don't want to waste time having to track down or wait for anything. Speaking of which see if you can track down those insipid comics too."
Dale's retainer would nod and before begging some blood off his boss is scared off to run his errands when the Vengaboys comes onto the stereo. Damned Gagner and his love of 90's music!
The vampire smirks to himself in amusement at Jamie's quick retreat from the music as he pulls out his cell phone and finally rings the number he is suppose to. Ms Victoria Ash; no point in unpacking without at least talking to her first and getting her ok. The only thing more annoying than unpacking is packing, so why risk having to do either until you were sure it was necessary?
Dale places the ringing phone to his ear and waits for a response.

The phone would ring about six times before it was picked up, a male voice would come thought from the other end a youthful sound to the voice.
"Miss Ash's phone this is Gregorio speaking, what can i help you with?"
The tone implied this is a well practice speech.

"Hello, good evening. I am new in town and was hoping to set up an appointment with Miss Ash. Would she be available this evening?" Dale does his best to be pleasant and respectable unsure if this secretary is in the know or not. Good to know this is going to be a business based interaction.

"You are Mr. ganger correct she has been expecting your call, she can met with you tonight.. Depending on when you can see her at the garden or the Six underground."
the impression that he is consulting with someone else is hard to miss with the long pauses in the sentences and the muffled sounds.

"Yes this is Mr. Gagner and if I had to choose I would ask that the meeting occur in the garden. My apologies but club's tend to be rather bias against my particular demographic." Dale tries to not chuckle to himself.

"Of course sir, Casa de Rosas the down town solarium. I will follow are conversation with the a txted address. but for future knowledge those of the Rose family often perform at the six underground and there is no ID's at the door but I'll let her tell you about that. Have a good evening Mr Gagner and welcome to El' Cajon."
The line clicks off and a few seconds later the texted address.

Dale goes to his closest and debates what look to wear, preppy? skater? hipster? It is so hard to choose; especially not knowing neither how the local prey acted nor how the court played.
When in doubt K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid); black cargo pants, hunter green button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the top few buttons undone showing a bit of a charcoal grey T shirt underneath.
Once satisfied with his look he texts back: 'Somewhere specific in the garden? If not, how will I recognize Miss Ash?'

After double checking his directions with the help of the net; Dale makes his way downtown to Casa de Rosas.
Along the way he would try to pay attention to his surroundings, to see what he would need to do to blend in with the local teen culture for the sake of hunting later on.

<Scene>On the trip the city through the city at night, what would stand out is going from any other area to downtown where to solarium resides would be like crossing the tracks from the wrong side to the right. most buildings are under a few years old due to the recent economic boom. trendy clubs specialty stores and entertainment offices seem to be popping up everywhere.
The youth on the start of your trip consist of hard knock teens mostly of Latino and African decent. and come in what seems like just three types in the Catacombs surrounding area. Low income wearing discount clothing and off brands the boys in very baggy pants the girls in mid drifts both seem fond of large gold objects. The homeless teens of course wear what they can and there is a fair number of them. And then the dealers that have more money then sense wearing diamonds furs and anything else that is loud flashy and outrageous.
Once in the limits of downtown the population gets definitively more Caucasian. Like the buildings the few you do see in the streets at night are not unlike the buildings new and looking a great deal more like the places they came from than where they are the only real commonality is a war between trendy and subdued. Where everyone seems to be trying to express them selves but in muted safe colors and patterns. like conformity pushed to its edge.
Cas de Rosas stand to the side of the down town park its interior light with a golden glow shining like a beacon through the glass towering up, though it doesn't have definitive floors it could be at least 7. as you near you can tell that it is closed to the public this time of night but a handsome European man waits by the door and speaks in to an ear peace as you approach.

Dale approaches the man; "Excuse me sir, but I have an appointment with a Miss Ash. Do you know where I would be able to find her?"
Dale tries to look as harmless and innocent as possible.

The man a blond of about 6 feet his hair cut military short, His suit to expensive and tasteful to be anything other then torrie security. He opens the glass paneled door taking his hand from his ear piece as he does so.
"Your elder is waiting for you in the rose room Mr. Gagner, the walk ways are well labeled. I am Gregorio we spoke on the phone. My mistress is looking forward to seeing you."
He gestures for you to enter and gives a sweeping look behind you as though he were suspicious of something in the shadows.

Dale steps forward without looking back; if there was a danger to be found in the shadows then Gregorio will be able to deal with it...or not. At least there would be proper warning, I mean that is what he is paid to do.
The young vampire only takes enough time to read the signs to find his way, otherwise it is a power walk the whole way. There would be plenty of time to stop and smell the roses so to speak.

The rose room is dimly lite by candle's vines cover most things crawling toward the sky a small bridge walk way leads to a gazebo where a beautiful raven haired woman sits. her clothing is louse and flowing her hair goes to mid back and is unbound. She smiles sweetly and holds a hand out to you patting the set next to her.
"Dale darling, It's am so good to finally be meting you. join me, let us talk."

I would put on the most boyishly charming smile I can and nod my head in respect as I walk towards her. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Ash."
When I get to the seat I would sit more forward in the seat, hands on knees, upper body slouched forward a bit.
