Setting
The neighborhood, established by old money, drew the less savory element. Burglaries were frequent. Homicides were not uncommon. In desperation, the majority of the old money fled, leaving the shadows of their dreams behind. The century-old homes, while once the pinnacle of opulence, have been reduced to crumbling shells of chipping paint and questionably tilting foundations. Even the police avoid the Fontainebleau neighborhood, leaving it to the gangs, drugs, pimps and prostitutes unless absolutely necessary.
Rumor has it, vampires have recently moved in.
There are still a few families here from times past.

This will do nicely." He began to stroll down the center of the street, taking mental notes of everything he saw.
