<span class="mu-g">"Still living down here, I presume? I hope the neighborhood is treating you well."</span> You ask as the two of you settle in. He has the umbrella from his drink balanced on his index finger, just the toothpick tip and the umbrella itself is open, and with the subtlest moving of his hand he manages to keep the little accessory even and upright. You almost get as distracted as he is, but then you blow it away with one huff of your breath.
He giggles with a wry half smile as it falls into the seat of the booth just next to him. <span class="mu-g">"<span class="mu-i">Le salaud!</span>"</span> He exclaims, then sighs, and takes a big gulp of the watered down Hawaiian, taking a moment to crunch on a few of the ice cubes with feline satisfaction. <span class="mu-g">"Sometimes, I stay here sometimes. I have a place on Riley now, too, far South side. Well, same place, you know, but a different door."</span> He answers you, and while it sounds a bit nonsensical, you understand him - Vincent's home is situated inside of the <span class="mu-g">Hedge</span> between worlds, and he maintains small dwellings here and there across Charleston, all of which have entrances to his true abode. <span class="mu-g">"Yourself? Still in the ivory tower?"</span> He asks.
<span class="mu-s">Where is it you're hanging your hat these days?</span>
>Yes, I'm still in the penthouse by the battery, I like the view of the water and the wall, if not for some luxury why bother with all this monkey business? (Bonus to social checks)
>Actually, I moved into the executive suite at Syron HQ, I stopped bringing work home with me and tried the other way around, besides, hard to get anywhere safer than at the devil's right hand. (Higher penalties to attempted attacks on the property)
>We used Foundation money to open an archeological museum on the Northside this past year. Having curated and acquired much of the collection and what's in the library, I decided to have living quarters constructed within. (Bonus to research checks)
>Mr. Murtagh had a manor constructed for me in the Hedge as part of my bonus package last quarter, if you'd believe it. I guess all those late nights paid off. The door is a magic hand mirror. (Mobile access to a home located in the Hedge and surrounded by a labyrinth of brambles)

<span class="mu-s">Feel free to pitch and vote on your own ideas, using the above as an example. Bonuses derived from your dwelling should only benefit you while you are inside, and be generally narrow in scope, covering one kind of check or activity. We can negotiate out details together, I will make the final call and veto advantages that may be game breaking.</span>
<span class="mu-s">The Undercity is a possible location for your home as well - residing down here doesn't necessarily violate your arrangement with Karloff. Some of his peers, however, may take exception if they become aware, and antagonize you. If relations deteriorate, you could end up 'behind enemy lines'. As such, if you choose Old Charlie as the locale for your home you may enjoy a second bonus.</span>
