The year is 1893. Humans and supernatural entities of all shapes and sizes live together in harmony. Or they did. The recent Jack The Ripper murders have sown the seeds of mistrust and discord among the citizens of London, England. The humans believe Jack to be some type of monster, while the monsters are certain Jack must be some twisted human. Now, even the smallest of crimes strike fear in the hearts of the people. That's where you come in. You've just joined the Supernatural Detective Agency, a group of detectives dedicated to tracking down criminals and keeping the peace between London's human populace and it's supernatural inhabitants. The original members of the SDA disbanded 73 years ago and have since died or gone on to different lines of work. All but one. Ren Crowclaw, one of the founders, has opened the doors the SDA HQ once again and is looking for new recruits to bring about the justice that London needs. Do you have what it takes to follow the clues, track down the criminals, and bring back the peace this city is missing?

Ren walked into the old HQ and shrugged off his coat, tossing it on the rack by the door. He sighed and waited a second for his eyes to adjust to the dim light. The sole illumination came from the faint glow of his horns. He closed the door behind him, not entirely displeased to be free of the glares and looks of disdain. He could hardly walk to the market anymore, thanks to Jack The Ripper, without people thinking he was some evil monster. "Ugh, dammit." He made his way to the back in the near darkness. "Wear is that damn thing?" His hands groped along the back wall looking for the lever to power up the generator. "Why did I board up those stupid...Ahah!" His hand found the lever and gave it a powerful yank. The generator whirred and clanked and sputtered to life as the lights slowly flickered on. The lights hurt Ren's eyes, having adjusted to the dark by now. Then, as his eyes readjusted Ren surveyed the remains of his old business. The room was covered in dust and cobwebs. "What a mess. It's such a shame to see it like this." He sat down in his old chair and staired at the windows he helped to board up so many years ago. "Well, all I can do now is wait and hope someone answers my advert." He kicked his feet up onto his old desk and relaxed back into his chair.

'I suppose I should get those boards off the windows. And maybe put out the old sign. Ren got up out of his chair and looked at the boards. "May as well just get it done." He grabbed a board and ripped it clean off, nearly falling backwards and sending nails skittering across the floor. After regaining his balance, Ren tossed the board aside and went to grab another, until he noticed a girl outside. It was a bit dark, so all he could really see was her silhouette. He walked over to the door and held it open, leaning outside. "Excuse me miss, you seem a bit lost. Is there anything could help you with?" He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. "It looks as though it might rain, so at the very least I feel I should invite you inside." He smiled and gave a slight flourish of his arm, gesturing for her to enter.

Kinda startled her wolf ears were about to pup up but Mieux quickly rubbed her head to hide them. "oh um..well erm I was just looking for this building you see-...eheh"she mutter while thinking eeeh is face is soo intimidating!. when hearing his invitation to go inside Mieux looked up at the sky "oh?..." she slighly sniffs the air. " it does seem like it will rain". Mieux covers her camera with her jacket and walking in the old building as she holds her suitcases. After entering she examines the room a little bit seeing how rugged it was. I hope this guy doesn't live here. Mieux looks back at the guy for sec before placing her suitcases down.

"Sorry about the mess." He ran a hand through his hair and looked around. "I just opened the doors for the first time in almost 80 years." He quickly snatched up the nails strewn across the floor before this young woman could step on them. He looked out the window and saw the rain beginning to fall outside. "I apologize about the dust. I've not had a chance to clean, yet." He stopped for a second, feeling as though he'd forgotten something. "Oh my! Where are my manors?" He turned to his guest and bowed. "I am Ren Crowclaw, lead detective of the Supernatural Detectives Agency. A pleasure to meet you, Miss." Standing up straight, he continued, "Now, how may I help you? Are you here for looking for employment or do you need to hire a detective? Although, I'm currently the only detective on staff, but I'm certain I could help."

Mieux rubs her head a little "n-no it's alright....eh?? 80yrs??... wow". She feels kinda amazed by that fact but then felt bad for thinking it was a dump. Mieux jump a little in interest "oh my name is Mieux nice to meet you....wait wait! this is the SDA?" she said kinda shock. She slowly calms down then takes out a letter as her voice becomes unshaky and cold. "well if you are who you say are... I maybe be of help, one of my clients that I met during travels gave me this letter before they disapeared" she looks up at Ren. "it seems like someone was following her sister around but I'm not quite sure who, you see I work mostly for paranormal intities or 'ghost' you can say and was working with client on a project to see if her sister got invovled with dark forces..." Mieux gives him the letter which contains pictures of blurry shadows of someone. "but her sister body was found recently....However I feel this is connect to whats happening around here with this "jack the ripper" guy. " mieux said as she walks towards the window watching the rain.

Ren took the note and his blood went cold. His hand trembled slightly. He strained to keep the anger out of his voice. "I'm sorry. The police have forbid everyone from looking into the Jack The Ripper murders. The last time I attempted to investigate those murders, another SDA member died and I ended up in shackles. Not to make light of a woman's death, but if another body hadn't been discovered after my arrest, I'd have been hanged as The Ripper himself." He handed back the note. "I can help you investigate this woman's death, but the second I catch a hint of The Ripper on this case, we're done." He took a deep breath and relaxed a bit. "That's the best I can do for you right now. Unless of course you'd like a job. Room and board included." He forced a smile, hoping not to scare the poor girl.

Mieux leans against the wall while listening to Ren's kinda curious of why the police try so hard to keep JTR isolated. "oh really, sorry i've been away so long.. I didn't really know all the details of the situation...sorry to hear that" she takes the note back and looks at the note intensely for minute then sighs. well she didn't really pay enough to keep me of mystery and the lady is gone with out a trace, oh well. Mieux puts away the note in her pocket. "I suppose it would be too much trouble to get involve, but I guess that wasn't main reason I came" she smiled going over to sit on her suitcases. "I am interested in your job offer. is there any specific requirements?.

Ren felt bad that he couldn't help Mieux on her case. "Well, I've got a friend in Scotland Yard. I can pass this note along and see what he can dig up." He picked up a rag and cleaned a chair for Mieux to sit in. "As for the job, all you really need is a strong stomach. Or no stomach at all, in some cases. We actually had a ghost as a member for a while." He walked over towards a staircase in the back corner of the room. He turned to face Mieux with a stern expression and cleared his throat. "The living quarters are upstairs, dinner is at five thirty, door locks at seven, lights out at nine, no guests without some form of prior warning, personal quarters are your responsibility to maintain, common areas shall be maintained on a rotational schedule, and the rest of the house rules shall be discussed as they become relevant. Any questions?"

"r-really? thank you!" Mieux said happily while giving him the note then rubs her head to stop her ears from showing. She casually walks to the chair and sits. "hm I think I should be good on that aspect". I hope he doesn't mean we don't have to eat on the job. Mieux laughs nervously then perks up hearing about ghost and unconsciously holds her camera. she suddenly gets a shiver down her spine and looks at Ren while he speaks. eeehh s-so scary~. She just nodded in agreement til he finished. "hm? I understand the doors locked out at seven but...there might be specific days where I might be out late, is there a key of some sort?". Mieux slightly looks at her suitcases.

"Well, I suppose I could make you a copy of the key. But, I'll need to test you first." He walked over and stood over her Mieux. "I want you to get up and hit me. As hard as you can. Right here." He pointed to his cheek. "Before I can give you a copy of the key, I'll need to know that you can handle yourself. And if I may be so bold, I'd like to ask what in particular might keep you out so late, but if you'd rather not say, I won't press it further." He stood there, his face a mask of stern discipline, waiting to see how she reacted.

Mieux blinks as Ren walks over to her then nervously smiles while he towards over her. "wait...what?! I just can't hit my boss!" she said moving back a little surprised that he even suggesting on hitting him. this guy must be nuts! is that really my only option to get a spare key?!. Mieux felt somewhat started getting nervous when he asked why."welll um...you see" not really knowing what to do or what to really say her wolf ears suddenly pop up; one ear in particular seem like it used to have a clamp or piercing but was torn off near it where numbers. She frantically tries to cover her ears but realizes they wont go down and sighs sadly" ...just personal reasons" Mieux stands up with a numbness in her eyes.

Ren tries to keep a straight face but fails miserably. His face twists into a smile, no matter how hard he tries to resist, so much so, it seems his face may actually crack. He lets out a stifled laugh, then clears his throat as he regains his stern demeanor. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. And I apologize for laugh, but...yours ears surprised me." He softly touched Mieux's torn ear. "You've got quite a history, huh? Did you just hope I'd never notice that my newest detective has the innate ability to turn into a large wolf-creature? Well, whatever the case, you need not hide your ears here." His stern expression faded to one of caring. You big idiot! You're such a softy at heart! he thought to himself. He ran a hand through his hair again, this time finding the end of one of his horns and tracing his fingers up along the length of the horn. "I'll give you a copy of the key, but I'll need a few days to get one from the locksmith. Until then, take mine." He reached into his pocket and took out an ornate key with SDA engraved on the handle and presented it to Mieux.

Mieux twitches hers and pouts hearing him laugh. jerk. She takes out her coat and places it on her suitcase allowing her tail to breath as well as stretch out. Then looks to side as Ren touch my ear"...yea" she sighs. "I'm just used to humans so much I guess I had the habit of hiding my ears and tail all the time" her tails sways side to side. "t-thank you i'll make sure not to lose it" Mieux places the keep in her shirt pocket and smiles.
