Re: [OPEN] PLANNING FOR THE CLAIM

Thomas, naturally, was glad to stand with Jean-Claude. He was absolutely certain that Harris's way of things would get them all exterminated, so even if his personal appreciation of Jean-Claude had not convinced him to come, then his desire for self preservation would have.

"I have to admit, I'm curious," he says, "If it's not a duel this time, what strategy did you have in mind?"

Jean-Claude flicks a smile at the other vampire. "One can only use the same strategy against an enemy so many times, unfortunately," he bemuses. "And since it did not work as well as we had hoped last time, I thought something different might be in order."

He motions to the bar, though it is not currently being tended, the club itself not yet opened for business. It seems a more intimate place to speak than standing in the middle of the floor itself. "You have not spoken to anyone else of your plans to join me here, have you mon ami?" he asks, as he folds himself onto a stool.

"Hm, that must be why I'm so bad at chess," he joked, following Jean-Claude to the bar, taking a seat next to him.

In a more serious tone, he answered the question. "I haven't, no."

There was, in fact, no one he would tell. There was no one he felt needed to know his whereabouts on a regular basis, after all. While he may get along with some members of the nest he...well, for one, didn't think they wanted to know what he got up to most nights, but also, he didn't necessarily trust them enough to let them know everything he was involved in.

Jean-Claude nods in approval of Thomas' confirmation. He needs secrecy if he wants to work this territory claim the way he had originally planned to do. Letting a member of Daybreak -- other than perhaps the one member he has spoken to already, of course -- know about his plans with enough time to warn the others and sound the alarm? Oh, that would not do at all.

"I am counting on the element of surprise," Jean-Claude explains. "I am grateful for your secrecy, mon ami. With any luck, our efforts tonight will not go unrewarded."

I'm not sure if you had anything specific in mind, or just wanted to hand wave the actual plotting

Thomas was glad to hear that. He smiled a little, even though telling no one really took no effort on his part, as he'd never had any intention of telling anyone.

"I'm glad to hear it. So what did you want me to do?"
