 During their interviews the Sin-Eaters note the most cogent ghosts are the ones playing video games; they also seem to have the most modern apartment. They also discover that the [[wod:characters:madam|ghost-madam]] of the “blue silk brothel” seems to be self-aware, and they glean a bit of useful information there. Unfortunately, the Sin-Eaters realize they’ve lost Peter after he succumbs to a group orgy and they find him smothered by a writhing pile of six female ghosts. He’s clearly enjoying himself, but Isobel barks an order for them to desist. She scares four ghost-prostitutes off of Peter, but two remain and he finishes loudly. He staggers out of the side room several minutes later, spent and a little loopy. During their interviews the Sin-Eaters note the most cogent ghosts are the ones playing video games; they also seem to have the most modern apartment.

-The Sin-Eaters decide to leave the Underworld now, but as they step out if the brothel they spot [[wod:characters:professors_assistant|a female ghost]] step out of the hallway next to the apartment where the faceless ghosts are playing Frogger. She closes the door and looks pointedly at them, so the Sin-Eaters drag Peter over. The woman is dressed in a faded black power suit and has dark hair and flinty eyes; there are no apparent visible death marks on her corpus. She imperiously asks them what the terms of rent are, and informs them the previous arrangement has been “1 dram of plasm per week, paid monthly.” The Sin-Eaters try to get a read on this ghost, but can’t penetrate her emotionless exterior.+The Sin-Eaters decide to leave the Underworld now, but as they step out if the brothel they spot [[wod:characters:assistant|a female ghost]] step out of the hallway next to the apartment where the faceless ghosts are playing Frogger.

 Isobel covertly unlocks the //Stillness Oracle// manifestation and examines the ghost again; she gleans that the ghost is keen to preserve her privacy and that’s part of the arrangement, but to ensure said privacy she would be willing to increase the rent. Erika tentatively agrees to the previous arrangement, but states they’d prefer a weekly payment. The ghost agrees to provide one dram of plasm every Friday night in a bottle outside her door marked with an X. As Isobel learned, the ghost insists on their work being a matter of utmost privacy, and when the Sin-Eaters repeat, “Their?” she says only she and her master conduct delicate experiments. Isobel jumps on that and demands a monthly rent of 5 drams of plasm in exchange for absolute privacy; one weekly payment of their choice will be two drams instead of one. The ghost woman grudgingly agrees but asks the krewe who their leader is. They all look over to Erika, who shrugs. Isobel covertly unlocks the //Stillness Oracle// manifestation and examines the ghost again; she gleans that the ghost is keen to preserve her privacy and that’s part of the arrangement, but to ensure said privacy she would be willing to increase the rent.
