The door bell rings. Whoever gets to the door sees a highly adrogynous figure, dressed in a well tailored light gray suit. His (her?) hair is cut short, silver grey. Her (his?) ears are unpierced and the only jewelry he/she wears is a wedding ring and a gold wristwatch. On a skill * roll of 7 or higher, the figure is recognizable as the Mayor of New Gothica, Pat Onnback. No amount of rolling, however, is high enough to find out what gender Pat is.

Setsuna added a few more ingredients to the sauce, turned to look at the door. "Reina, can you go to the door while I finish the sauce, please?" she asked.

"Okay!" Reina agreed in a sing-song voice, washing her hands in the sink before leaving the kitchen (because anyone would be able to tell you that wandering around with hands smelling of garlic was unprofessional.) It was still daylight out so Reina again didn't bother checking the peephole before flinging the front door wide. "Welcome, Mi- Mr- M-Mayor Onnback!" Reina greeted, eventually recognizing the... person in front of her from a recent newspaper clipping. Her smile faltered slightly as she struggled to figure out if it was a man or a woman she was speaking to. Ugh- if it were not for those accursed clothes! "Please come in! The Master has been expecting you!" Recovering, the dark-skinned maid waved the mayor into the house, though her eyes continued to roam over their guest in a rather suspicious manner. Reina gets a 12
on her roll.
The mayor smiles. "Hi there... I figured I would drop by early, wanted to discus ideas for a new City Beautification program with my biggest private donor. Where is Lord Cray?"

"The Master is currently in his private study," Reina replied smoothly, applying the standard dodge for any situation from 'the Master is on the toilet' to 'the Master is in his Cave' to 'the Master is hiding the bodies.' "If you will follow me I shall show you to the sitting room," she added, executing a curtsy that would have been picture perfect were it not for the fact that it almost looked like her ample chest was about to pop out of the open top of her dress.
As she walked the mayor into the interior of the mansion with the same sort of exaggerated, swaying gait that Maddie had displayed earlier - Oooh, if not for this skirt! - Reina kept looking back to make sure that their guest was following (and to catch any tells that might arise as to the mystery of the mayor's gender.) Once they arrived Reina showed the mayor to a plush armchair by a window and parted the curtain slightly. "I shall fetch the master, but would you like a refreshment of some kind before I go? A drink, perhaps?" she asked, leaning forward inquisitively.
Reina rolls an 18 to lie to the mayor, if it is necessary. She rolls a 36 on her attempts to Cunningly Seduce the mayor - or at least catch his/her eye.

The mayor smiles at Reina. "Why, thank you, my dear." (s)he says, reaching out to pat Reina on the head. "It's a shame my dear Steven isn't adventurous enough so I can suggest a three-way. OH! I see Lord Cray was able to get 'Dogs Playing Strip Poker' back after it was stolen by that feline-themed art thief."
The mayor points at a painting on the wall that shows four dogs, one shaved bald, sitting around a card table.

"It is a very nice painting," Reina agreed, accepting the pat on the head with a smile. "I hope that the criminal was very sorry for taking it." Reina had not been assisting the Master at that time, else there would have been other words spoken in the papers about irony of the painting depicting a game of 'strip' poker. Straightening, Reina stepped away from the mayor. "It is a pity that I cannot help you with anything now, but if you need anything from me later please tell the Master! I shall go fetch him now!"
Bowing once more, Reina bounced on her toes once and adjusted her apron before heading back toward the kitchen. When she arrived she waved to Setsuna. "The mayor has arrived. I am going to find tell the Master," she noted. She then when to the pantry and began searching for the correct can of Spam that would open the secret door. She was somewhat lost in thought as she searched; the Mayor seemed pleasant enough, and didn't get all flustered like so many people did when they met her, but the ambiguity still nagged at her. Finally finding the right can she opened the secret door and descended into the Stalker Cave. Reina rolls a 12 on Luck to find the right can.
After a few tries, the right can is found and the cave entrance is opened.

"No, yes, no, zombie virus, no, yes...Kat? Do you mind if I take a lock of your hair?" Having been alternating between taking various vials and totems from her person and adding others, she remains focused on the vial in her hands as she makes her request. She doesn't seem to give any thought to removing her lab coat, for the night.

Kat stoped cleaning her katana and looked up from her spot on the floor at the doctor. "Why would you wan... you know what, sure," Kat says as she goes back to readying her weapon. "As long as it doesn't lead to another one of your experiments wondering the halls you can have a lock of my hair. And remember to call me Twilight when I'm in costume," Kat says, gesturing to the neck to toe black ninja like outfit and the black paint covering her face.

"Thank you so very much, darling. That'll save me the trouble of-..." Suddenly looking towards Kat, and taking note of her attire. A bit surprised "Oh, were we changing into our outfits for the dinner?"

"Well we won't need everyone just to take care of the master and two guests, so it's probably best if some of us are in costume and ready to deal with Buzzkill," Kat says as she stood up and sheathed her sword. "At least that's what I thought."

Reina considered that for a moment, then shrugged unconcernedly. "Maybe around dinner time?" she guessed. It seemed like a logical enough time to arrive, if you were coming to eat dinner.
