[Misericorde]

Mason lifted his head a little to gaze off into the distance as he walked. He was heading toward his home, one of the biggest in the city due to his fortune. He adjusted the collar of his jacket as he walked, his hands going back into his pockets. As he stared ahead, a girl caught his eye. She looked to be perfect for a next victim. He could tell she was troubled, and he could see that she was low on self esteem. They usually made the perfect targets for him.

Mason spun around and started following her carefully, but he acted as friendly as he could, approaching her. "Excuse me, excuse me miss?" He gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry to bother you, but you wouldn't happen to know where The Helios Sleep Center is at, do you?" He smirked a little to himself. "I've got an appointment there tonight, but I'm a little lost..."

He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, one with directions on it. "I've got these directions to get there, but the rain has soaked them to the point of being unreadable..." He shoved the paper back into his pocket. "I wonder if you might be able to help me get there? I mean, if you aren't too busy that is..." Mason was being as charming as he could. He knew that if this girl was having nightmares as he suspected, that he might be able to lure her to his clinic.

Mason also needed a way to navigate himself into her nightmares to make them worse. For that, he would need to know a little more about her. Not much though. He would need to know her name at least, as well as have time to talk to her a little bit before anything. This was his attempt to get the information he needed.
