It did not go as expected. I made sure they didn't try to pull anything and didn't bring unannounced friends, and they didn't.
But I do have further questions. They mentioned that the emails retrieved from the Black Lotus' secret site suggested something utterly dire, like perhaps citywide (or larger?) death and destruction? But didn't elaborate.
If true, that *would* make some sense as to why even a vampire would be willing to stick their neck out to stop it. They seem to be non-living and frozen in time, so they continue to exist for a long time. Seems they would be pretty concerned with keeping things quiet so they can keep that going. Which kind of paint the Black Lotus types as just as fucking illogical as their emails initially suggested.
"We're going to sacrifice on our holy night, bluh bluh bluah. We're going to act in ways most supervillians are too intelligent to fall for."
They suck, pun intended.
Again, all this is to say that I do not trust our supposed new "allies" to not be just as bad. Iris showed up looking like someone putting on a show. She was totally concerned with her appearance, which suggests she was trying to show us their best side. Their worst side could be just as horrible as that shadowy asshole.
