Nightclubbing: 7: We Walk Like A Ghost

The guy shrugs off Veronica's questions. "A hickey's not exactly the worst thing I ever got at a party, y'know?" Still, she makes sure she can find him again.

She calls Edie about it as well.

"No, I haven't had anybody like that... How was he? Did he taste different?"
"No, he just... I don't know. Maybe it was me."
"Oh honey, don't ever think that."
"Then what? Is the scene just so jaded that nobody cares any more?"
"Only one way to find out..."

...

Karen goes to see Billy, needing a lookout and/or getaway driver for whatever her sire Constance has planned.

"So what is it, just illegal, or dangerous as well?"
"Oh, probably. Knowing my luck it'll belong to some other vampire."
"Well, at least that won't bring the cops. Get me killed, sure, but no cops."

...


Hall is still running down drug dealers. He puts one through a car window to get him to talk.

...

Veronica and Edie head out, and test to make sure it's not a problem on Veronica's end. None of the people she samples have the same problem.

"So, wanna find this guy and... well, what do you wanna do with him?"
"It's nice having options..."

...

Karen goes to see Constance to get the specifics. Right enough, it's stealing from other vampires. "Maybe connected to your drug-blood ring too."

Some kind of post-hippy cult. Something to do with snakes.

...

Disco is not a threat to the Masquerade.

Yet.
