 1. Carver, Gianna, Ivy, and Suzannah group up in a field on the edge of Ivy’s family farm.
2. The four discuss what they’ve learned how to do so far:
	1. Ivy’s persuading the hotel clerk and extended senses.
	2. Carver disappearing and making illusions.
	3. Carver and Gianna’s super speed.
3. Then they demonstrate what they can for the others:
	1. Ivy tries to use Presence on Carver to no effect.
	2. Carver shows off his Obfuscate, disappearing from sight after asking the others to close their eyes.
	3. Gianna and Suzannah can then no longer see him, but Ivy can; to her, Carver appears indistinct, blurry, as if through a camera with an unfocused lens.
	4. Carver also makes an illusion of Optimus Prime appear behind  the others.
4. They test their running:
	1. Gianna successfully Celerities.
	2. Carver falls.
	3. Ivy runs normally.
5. Suzannah tells Carver to shoot her.
	1. He does, and it practically bounces off of her, leaving naught but a small dent in her skin.

 1. The power testing turns into talk about what to do with the phone, and  they discover the ICE (in case of emergency) contact on Valencia’s phone to be Meredith Canaan, a substitute teacher many of them had at various points in school. Suzannah did not have her in school, but her son Vincent did.
2. Carver calls Jackson to ask for help cracking the phone for information, and Jackson agrees to help.
3. The four drive to meet Jackson (Ivy and Gianna in one car; Carver and Suzannah in her cruiser) at the Amber Hour back in NOLA.
4. Inside they meet Jackson and Christian Holt (friend of PC Laurel Bradford and PC Nicolo Russo’s childe Raegan Patron); Christian cracks the phone to triangulate the location of the last called number within the  closest range and to retrieve the number and the contact name from Valencia’s phone.
5. Carver speaks privately with Jackson in an adjacent soundproof room about having been kidnapped and murdered, but does not share supernatural aspects he has developed.
6. Jackson and Carver agree to meet together to discuss that further the next night.

 1. The four find a listing for a bookstore fitting their needs called The Twisted Page.
2. The four enter asking after language and history books to investigate their recent experiences.
3. The storekeeper, PC Katherine Sparrow, reveals herself to be a Kindred, and she and her husband, PC Emery Lane - also Kindred.
4. The four reveal having been kidnapped,  killed, and then having woken up in the abandoned Charity hospital which reveals their status as unplanned and seemingly impossible Embraces because no one in NOLA has been able to Embrace for the better part of a century.
5. Katherine attempts to view the memory of their murder in Suzannah’s mind, the bloodier aspects of which trigger Katherine’s fugue state.
6. However, Katherine is able to translate the prayer which was chanted during the four’s murder and shares that with them.
7. Katherine offers some insight into what Gianna and Carver might be (Setite and Ravnos, respectively) due to their obvious displays of Serpentis and Chimerstry.
8. Katherine and Emery advise the four that they would be safest by making themselves known to the Prince, and Katherine arranges a meeting to occur at the Twisted Page the following night.
9. The four are confirmed in their theory of having become vampires/Kindred and learn that there are many facets to Kindred society, including the Masquerade, Kindred politics - such as the Sabbat, and even Kindred sorcery.
10. The four are advised to avoid sun, fire, and extreme damage which could lead to final death.
11. They also learn that barring final death, they are functionally immortal, to which Suzannah responds with elation  and Carver discovered his need to define his eternity on his own terms.
12. The four part ways: Carver to his boat, Suzannah to her home, and Gianna and Ivy to Gianna’s place, with intent to meet up back at the bookstore the next night as arranged.
