Drake slowed down as they entered a small town a short distance from the ocean, taking a side road which eventually led to a house a short distance from the town itself, the house standing about 500 meters from a cliff, below which was a small beach, afterwhich the Atlantic could be seen in full view. "Here" said Drake as he stopped at a paking spot outside the two storey building. it was sturdier than your average house, the walls instead having been made of concrete, otherwise looking like any other house in the region, light blue stucco walls with a sharply slanted roof, almost flat, two staircases going up at either side of the front door, with high concrete wall/railings, which made Drake think they were meant to be for taking cover from attackers outside, rather than being railings. the front double door was white, and gave the place a slightly french feel to it with it's small, painted glass windows. Drake turned off the car and stepped out, heading for the door, noticing the oddest thing about the house thusfar. instead of a door handle, there was a circular outwards bending plate, reminescent of a car's hubcap, with a black dragon symbol similar to Drake's new trademark logo, on a golden background in th center, a layer of crystal covering the symbol. around the symbol was the rest of the plate, with five indentations that appeared to be for fingers to be placed. between each of the five was a keyhole. Drake pulled a set of keys out of his pocket, eying the holes, noticing small symbols between the holes and the Dragon insignia in the middle of the plate. he looked at the keys and matched each hole with the appropriate key, unlocking them one by one before putting his fingers in the indentations and twisting. a hydraulic sound was heard as the surprisingly complex door unlocked, the illusion of a typical wooden, painted glass door revealed to be faulse as it opened, a layer of steel revealed between the outer and inner wooden layers of the door. Brimstone really went all out here...guess they want their safehouses to fit the term more accurately. this thing looks bullet proof he thought as he stepped in, looking around at the hallway. white wallpaper with silvery floral patterns lined the walls, the ground made up of chocolate brown, walnut wood panels. a long hallway made way to a living room in the middle of the house, with large oak double doors seperating it from the outside, no windows in the room meaning it was both a safe place for Vampires if the rest of the house were to be flooded with daylight, as well as providing an impressive amount of service as a stronghold, if it ever came to it. outside the living room, on either side of the double doors, were paths leading to the Dining Room and kitchen. inside the living room itself was a spiral staircase which led to the second floor, where there were 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a broom closet. Drake decided to wait for the others to follow him in before exploring the second floor, knowing what awaited them up there was probably something they'd all like to see...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
