Casper gets out of a taxi in front of Purgatory and enters. He goes to the bar and hands Roland a twenty-dollar bill.
 CASPER: Something strong and plenty of it. |
Danny walks to Purgatory and pauses in the doorway. Someone yells at him to get out of the way and he enters. He also goes to the bar and hands cash to Roland.
 DANNY: Uh... Just beer, please... |
Casper uses the Auspex discipline to identify Danny as a vampire. He slides over several stools and sits next to Danny.
CASPER: You alright friend? This one is on me, nice to meet a Kindred soul. |
He hands money to Roland.
DANNY: Uh... Thank you. I'm... I'm fine, thanks. |
CASPER: Casper Iversson, nice to meet you. I am new to the city, friend of Bjorn's - you know Bjorn yes? |
He finishes his drink and taps his glass as he nods at Roland.
CASPER: Another one please. |
DANNY: Uh... No, sorry. I've only been in town for a small while, and I'm not really one of the important people, so I don't know many others... |
Roland brings Danny a beer and he drinks from it.
DANNY: I'm Danny, by the way. Danny Wheyton... |
CASPER: Ah, a fellow newcomer! DC seems to be getting plenty of those lately, I am sure the harpies are being kept busy then. |
He pulls a cherry out of his glass and puts it in an ashtray. He laughs at Danny.
CASPER: Not a fan of the cheap stuff I take it? I don't blame you - American beers can be a little off-putting. |
He raises his refilled glass.
CASPER: But they certainly make fine spirits. Pleasure to meet your Mister Danny Wheyton, you don't mind if I join you do you? Perhaps if you're lucky you can meet Bjorn, he's a good man and an even better drinking partner! |
DANNY: Lucky? Yeah... I guess. |
He drinks more beer.
DANNY: So... Where are you from, anyway? |
CASPER: Paris, by way of Stockholm here on some business for the powers that be. Ohhh Bjorn is not so bad, you give him the respect he deserves and he'll treat you right, plus his bar's got the cheapest beer in 20 kilometers - what's not to like? |
He hums and stacks peanuts on the bar. He uses the Presence discipline on Danny to make him like him.
CASPER: What about you Danny? What brings you to DC? Got some political aspirations? Am I talking to a soon to be senator? |
