(OOC) San Francisco by Night II: A Requiem in Fog

[Daishain]

All right, the way I see it, we have three options to push for in regards to covering things up. Three stories to tell.

Presumably, enough of the staff here have families to make pretending like nothing happened not an option.

Option one, we clean this place stem to stern, and make it look like everyone just walked out and vanished. That is a lot of missing person cases however, and even if we do an excellent job getting rid of every last scrap of evidence, that kind of thing will have people poking into the matter for decades to come just for the sheer mystery of it all, and those people could easily stumble upon other interesting things about The night life here.

Option two, we clean things up most of the way and arrange for what looks like an accidental natural gas explosion. Regrettably the staff were trapped and burned to death. If successful, this would lead to the fewest questions going forward, but there are a lot of things that can give the game away, especially if some of the bodies remain intact enough to prove they died from something other than fire or smoke inhalation. Which is pretty likely, since again we cannot use accelerants without making it obvious that it was arson. Arson specialists are getting good enough at that these days that they can tell you specifically what refinery the gasoline used to start a fire came from and from there narrow down the potential places it was bought.

Option three, embrace the carnage. Don't bother hiding the fact that people were murdered here. Instead, make it look like an entirely human serial killer finally went completely nuts, killed the people working for him, and deliberately burned down his home before disappearing. This would definitely have severe social implications, and the cops will be all over the matter. On the plus side, it means we would not have to bother hiding the evidence of murder and arson, just the evidence that we were involved for that vampires or anything else of the sort exist. In addition, we will be pointing the cops at a red herring, with any luck at all they will start chasing the official owner of the home, who I assume does not actually exist. As a bonus, in supporting the story, it's really does not hurt that the owner of this place actually was a Serial killer and left the bodies to prove it.
