Alley Vanish

(• • • Correspondence, • • Mind)                                         Tradition Book: Hollow Ones  61

The downtown urban sprawls of the World of Darkness are dark, twisted mazes of graffiti and the dim glow of neon. A Hollower on her own turf who knows this little trick can fake out, misdirect and shake anyone that may be pursuing her. A combination of twisting space and confusing the pursuer's sense of direction, this rote makes back alleyways seem to swallow the Hollow One, throwing off any pursuit.

This rote is coincidental if it is accomplished out of the direct sight of a pursuer and if the pursuer can perceive some manner in which the mage may have escaped ("Damn, he must have jumped onto that dumpster, grabbed the fire escape and vaulted over that fence. I'll never catch him now.") If a character vanishes in dead-end alley with no conceivable means of physical escape, the Effect is vulgar.

MET: Disciple Correspondence, Initiate Mind. A successful Alley Vanish is considered to be Fair Escape. Grades of Success: No effect.
