"Hey, I try at diplomacy, its not my fault everything I've tried it on wants to murder me instead."
Leon shrugs at the romantically inexperienced comment since there was no point in even trying to refute it.
"Not the first time, I've dealt with Whamps trying to seduce me. Probably won't be the last."
Click Click Boom Boom"Yes but given the circumstances this time it could lead to, another, war with the vampire Courts. Are you honestly confident enough to avoid this?" Tim inquired with a raised eyebrow. "I mean, if Jarl starts one, its not our problem anyway." He added in jest. Probably.
"You can reply to this Message!""I swear I'll be on my absolutely best behavior. I won't even try to sneak in a knife or anything."
"Besides, there's another important factor to consider - I doubt the locals are going to be speaking English in their meeting, and how many of you guys speak fluent Italian?"

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies."Given what happened to the last vampire court to go to war with the Council, I'd probably have to murder half the party for them to push the same. And I'm more then confident enough in my self control to state I won't even kill a single one of them. You know assuming they don't try to kill me first."
Click Click Boom Boom"Given the fact that everything I heard about them is they're not big fans of getting into direct altercations, pretty sure Alex is the exception, not the rule. Ego wise, I suppose he could be the norm though."

Click Click Boom Boom"All I'm saying is it's probably going to be amazingly suspicious if none of the people who entered the party, with proper invitations, speak the language that's going to be spoken at the party that's ostensibly being thrown for the Italian supernatural community."
"Also, if we don't want to be paid too much attention to, I still might be the best bet. I don't think they'd be all that ignorant of, no offense Tim, the guy who decided to test the patience of Queen Mab by lighting gods-know how many of her goons on fire from half a mile away."
"Meanwhile, I've spent months in Faerie, and my guess is news of the pink slip went out faster than I realized at the time. What are they going to care about a lesser Sidhe Lord's errand boy?"
Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies."I am certain you can achieve the objective. I worry about collateral damage." Tim paused. "Mainly because unlike Vegas, I like Rome enough to not have it burned to the ground. Again."
He let a slight smile show and then turned to M. "Can you get your gadget ready for them?"

"You can reply to this Message!""We're all doomed.. " M muttered as he rubbed his face. "Well Herr von Hochbeg, the answer is yes and no," and as he aid this e reached into the duffle and rummaged through it for a bit before pulling out a small case.
"I don't know exactly how this is going to work but it's kind of important that the Luminus Stones have time to actually copy the object before you guys leave or the illusion isn't going to last for even five minutes. They're extremely simple to use but for a convincing hologram they're going to need to be reading for at, at an ideal minimum, 30 minutes. If we're stretched for time then I can maybe say 20."

Click Click Boom BoomMuseo della Civiltà Romana (The Museum of Roman Civilization) - Early Evening
On the surface it was like any other high-end Gala in Western Civilization: men and women in fancy clothes and beautiful jewelry ascending the red carpet into the halls of regal museum. But anyone with so much as a hint of magic, would be able to feel the air buzzing, the light glittering just a little to bright in their eyes, the world a tiny bit heavier then normal.
There where no divine A-Listers in the procession of guests- but there where plenty of nymphs who's hair a few shades more then brown or black gave them away, and more then a few men caught scratching their flanks, sensitive to the goat-fur underneath. Old upper-crust spirits, common place in another age, the height of nobility for their survival alone. Rome is that last true haven of their kind- the last place on earth where people still pray and plead and occasionally make offerings in their name, en'mass.
The White Court, are, of course in attendance- though far fewer in number. Queen Dowager Juliana Raith is found at the center of a great entourage of her usual inner circle. Beyond that there is a buffer of space between them and the crowd- people smart enough to sense her Hunger knowing to keep a safe but polite distance away.
At the foot of the stairs, a man with a clip board allows the various guests to pass, stopping no one in particular to check- though his broad shoulders and and imposing frame give off the impression he could, if he wanted too, turn more then a few of the guests away. He noticeably doesn't so much as twitch when Juliana passes, and instead nods in respect, a gesture she returns.
When Leon, Terry, and Jarl get near him however, he extends a flat-palmed hand, calloused and heavy to stop them. "Invitations?"
The museum is flanked on either side with old world-style buildings. The street is clean, and the sky is clear and stary tonight. Over head, the New Moon hangs, reminding those that care to look up, of their task- springing Hecate from the Christian's prison.
Katelyn had suggested the roof to the right of the museum for observance, the building itself was a cafe and boutique, two stories tall, and still shorter then the museum three. The woman in question is holding a shard of broken glass to her, looking through it at the entrance where the trio has been stopped, and muttering to herself, every few moments.

"I'm in of course. Leon's in so he can do TK and sound-dampening. Jarl volunteered, so unless anyone's got a pressing reason they should take priority he's our third.
"We go in, we don't start shit, we don't get drawn into shit that other people start, we make the switch, we get out, and for all relevant deities' sake we don't show them how we do it Vegas because how we do it in Vegas gets the shit kicked out of me."
