Victorian Nocturne

It hadn't been easy for Simon to decide what to do with the dead vampire. Or the dead person. Simon still wasn't entirely convinced. Still, he had eventually decided that despite his own extensive knowledge of all things in the universe, this... really wasn't his area of expertise. So then it became an issue of finding someone for whom this was the area of expertise, and he had to get to that phantom person before his dead body began to rot.

So it was that Simon ended up ransacking just about every Fortean, Occult, and Scientific journal he had for someone who might know about vampires while at the same time... not being a complete imbecile. It was only after two hours of painstakingly going through his personal scholarly archive that Simon distantly reading some seemingly academic articles by a London zoologist on some of the more unconventional fauna of the city. That, was clearly the man to see about such things. It took him a few more hours of that night, and a few hours of the next morning to track down the man's name and current lodgings. By the next afternoon Simon was walking confidently towards the doorway of the house of Sciurus Thatch with a spring in his step, and a disembodied head in his bag. He reached up, and rapped smartly on the door of the other man's house, and waited.

Because who didn't want to look at the body parts presented to them by complete strangers?

Many of these venues were largely theatrical affairs. Kingdom's Variety, however, catered to a broader market than most, with ticket prices set at relatively affordable rates. On the upper level, boxes existed for discerning customers to get a good view of the stage. Down below, various tables were set with chairs around them, instead of the rows of bench-like seating reserved for more formal theatres. Over to one side of the hall, a bar was open, allowing customers to get beverages while the entertainment was on show.

This evening's treat was to be a magician, the Great Alfonso, who would be preceded and followed by song and dance routines.

Add alcohol and a pleasant air of merriment, and a good time should be had by all...
