A bright smile shown on Volfango's lips as Sorrel continued to impress with him with the energy and spirit in which she returned his flirting. He could tell that she was someone that would be a lot of fun to be around and he was sincerely hoping she would agree to his humble offer! Between Genesis and Sorrel, Volfango figured that if there were more fun and wonderful people here than it would making living her not seem so much like a death sentence. "Das ist großartig! Volfango's father is from Deutschland!" He said with excitement as he took his card back and placed it into his wallet, before signing the slips with beautiful calligraphy with his cellphone number at the bottom as well.

He was on the edge of his toes as he awaited Sorrel's answer and felt absolutely delighted when she accepted "Volfango would be deeply honored and you will not be disappointed by Voflango's impeccable hospitality!" His hand laid across his lower back as he extended a hand above his head and leaned over into a bow, the hand that had been above his head coming across his chest in one smooth motion causing his thick lockes of hair to cascade in front of his face before being flicked backwards as he stood straight once more. Volfango was going to make sure that she had the time of her life, no matter what they decided to do. He was used to living every day as if it was his last and so was very good at making the most of his time and those that accompanied him, even though he now had much more time than most.

"Sorrel." Voflango said as he purposefully rolled the R's together "A name that sounds just as sweet." A half-grin exposed his pearly-white teeth as he took hold of his coffee in his left hand and the rest of the hornchen in his right. "Volfango shall be counting the seconds until our date!" He decided to grab the nearest open table to the counter so that he may still be within sight of her while he ate the remainder of his tasty hornchen and paired it with perhaps the best coffee he's had so far in the States.

Time: Morning
Location: Her apartment
Interaction with: N/A

"Miss, you may walk back inside."

Nathalie looked up at the officer holding her front door open for her. They had searched her apartment and she was thankful the perpetrator was no longer there, but the fact that someone had been inside her home at all was what truly unnerved her. She hadn't lived in the town long enough to make enemies, so Nathalie believed she had been targeted at random.

"Have you noticed any missing items? Jewelry, cash, or anything of value?"

"I haven't checked, no. After I called I waited for you guys and you were here before I knew it. I could check really fast if that's okay."

"Yes, go ahead and take note of any missing items as I will need to write them down in the report. As you do that, I'll call down our CSI tech to see if she can lift some fingerprints. She'll take yours as well to eliminate them as a match, it cuts down on the time."

"Of course, whatever you need from me. I'll go ahead and take a look around--"

"My apologies, one more thing I need to ask. Do you know who could have done this?"

Nathalie paused for a moment "...no, I'm sorry. I only know a handful of people here, that's including my ex."

"Your ex? Does he have a key to this apartment?"

Jason wouldn't go to this extreme, would he?

"No, he does not. I moved here on my own after our break-"

She was interrupted again, although this time it was due to the officer's radio going off. He reached for the mic, responding to whoever was on the other end. His partner, currently in the room with them as well, lowered his radio to avoid feedback. Nathalie was able to pick up on some of what was being said, and from the sound of it, they had a lead.

"I'm not sure what you overheard just now, but another unit is down in the leasing office and they have footage of a white male picking your lock and entering the apartment. We could wait outside while you change so we can escort you downstairs."

Nathalie had completely forgotten she was still in her pajamas until the officer mentioned it. "Yes, of course, I'll be a minute."

Given the very brief description she'd gotten, Nathalie couldn't help but think of Jason as the one responsible for breaking into her home. If that was the case, he'd done a very stupid thing being that he was, in her opinion, an incredibly smart man.

Time: Day
Location: Ember Grove Mall/Pancake Factory/ Heading towards the Campgrounds
Interactions: Nobody

Gwen after leaving the Pink Canoe and taking a taxi to the Ember Grove Mall, she knew that the Pancake Factory was located in the food court of the mall. After twenty or so minutes she arrived at the mall making her way to the food court, she was reminded of in her youth when she was still a human being a mall rat with her friends. She missed those carefree days of hanging out with her friends and harassing old people. Walking around the food court wondering which store she was suppose to talk to this guy, Of course it wouldn't take long for her to find the store in question.

Luckily for her she didn't have to wait too long in the line to talk to this guy, She could tell the person taking her ordering was this Serif guy. Standing in front of her was this tall Asian male with a thousand year stare looking passed her, "Hello welcome to Pancake Factory, how may i help you?" The man with the name tag of "Serif" with a fake smile painted onto his face. "I don't want anything, but i'm looking for a sheila named Luna. Have you seen her or heard of her?" She asked and could see Serif's face cringe at the very mention of that name.

"Louie take over for me, i gotta do something" Serif yelled behind him to another cook who calmly walked over taking his place where nothing would have changed. Gwen followed Serif to the cramped staff room sitting down on a steel folded chair, "So why are you looking for Luna?" He asked rising a brow her way. "Well i got something i want to ask her, and if i don't talk to her my brain matter is gonna be all over the street" She said motioning with her hand of her brain falling to the floor. "If it includes your brains being blown out, then you will have to level with me and let me know why you want to talk to her" Serif moved his body closer towards Gwen.

"Well i mean that if i don't find this Luna chick, i ain't going to be in the good graces of my boss" She could see that Serif's face was confused and understandably so. "Well i might know where she might be, but honestly it's info i heard a few weeks ago" Serif said with Gwen moving her head closer curious of where she could be. "Try looking around the local campground, I heard she was usually hanging out around there" His voice suddenly lowering staring her down. "But i gotta warn ya, these guys hate your people so you gotta tread carefully. Or you know enjoy being torn apart" Shrugging his shoulders while leaning back in his chair.

Serif gave her the location of where the campground was located, Gwen meanwhile was writing all of this down so she could not forget. "Thanks for the location and the advice, i owe ya one" She stood up walking away when she heard Serif speaking up. "I'll bring some flowers for your funeral" A respond that made Gwen feel a bit uneasy as she left the mall. After she had left Serif's sights he pulled out his phone dialing a number, "Just warning you guys theirs a vampire coming looking for Luna, you better be careful around her" He said having a conversation with the person on the other line.

Confusion struck Damien as Astraea left flustered and in a hurry. She hadn't even given him her beat-up copy of the Shatter Me novel. Damien didn't know what to make of the interaction as he hadn't gained anything from it. In fact, he lost quite a bit to the woman. Time, money, and effort. All because of… Who knew? Did he even want to know?

Damien figured he'd run into Astraea again. Ember Grove was small and she was just too interesting to let slip away. He continued to stare at the entrance. The thought of following her was tempting, but he had to go see… Lucy. He sighed as he pictured the bird's dark judging eyes staring blankly into his. He had been moving about aimlessly without her guidance, so meeting with her was definitely needed.

He walked outside and walked southbound in order to hit the treeline. The rain had finally stopped, but it had gotten rid of some of the foot traffic in town. Damien disappeared into the woods where he found Lucy, his familiar and guide.

"Good morning Lucy. What's the plan?"

Time: Day
Location: Campgrounds
Interactions: Luna @Potter

Gwen finally arrived at the campground, but she had to walk to the campground because the taxi stopped a few blocks form the campground. She cursed the taxi driver for this knowing that she should have drove her car to the campground, but she was worried the damages that could happen to her car. Walking though the trees making it look like he was some jogger, she wondered how she could convince Luna to come with her to meet Sinclair. Finally making her way to where she had heard Luna could be she pretended to be out of breath approaching a group of people, she could tell from their scent that the group were werewolves. However she couldn't tell which one was Luna.

"Nice weather we're havin, sorry to ask but i'm looking for a sheila named Luna. I was hoping to talk to her about a some business, Ya kids know where she is?" She asked the group wondering if should have worded her statement differently, she thought she was coming off to strong.
