You are driving through the countryside one evening. Just to relax after a recent feeding. When suddenly a bright light shines, and you are driving down the street in a small town. Japanese if the road signs are any indication.

"What the...?" the old man let out, surprised, as he immobilized his vehicle in mild confusion. He looked around, left and right, wondering if he was finally becoming as nuts as he probably looked to people around him, but no. This was clearly not the town he was used to. What had just happened?
["Excuse me, I'm a bit lost. American tourist, see? Which town is this?"] he asked the nearest passerby in a very good Japanese, but fairly thick American accent.

"Morioh." The person says.

["Ah, thanks. Have a nice day"], he said, pausing a second as he thought about whether the name rang any bell.
16 (Ef) in General Knowledge (History & Geography) to do so.

You remember some things about a rumor of a Vampire named Dio Brando having had some activity in this area in the mid 80s.

Caine
Caine frowned, parking his truck in the nearest spot he could, deciding to take a walk around town to catch his bearings. He had no idea who had managed to teleport him all the way from America to Japan all of a sudden without his knowledge nor his approval; that probably required a lot of juice. He also couldn't help to wonder who possibly could want him there at all, if anyone even knew he existed. Or even why. Most vampires feared his return, possibly rightfully so; who would want someone who's basically a god, who may very well not like you, to turn their attention to you?
Whatever the answers to his questions were, Caine figured the answers would come if they had to. And one way they might, was by activating Auspex. Which he did.
1 in PL for an action;
1 in Vehicle operations to drive my truck and park somewhere legal.
2 stones in Auspex to activate Superhuman Senses, adding See Auras and Magical Forces, and See into other dimensions, to my Enhanced Vision.
Then, 10 into Intelligence +5 from Acure Senses, helped by my Enhanced Vision 7 (See in Darkness, Sense blood, See Auras and magical forces, See into other dimensions) to have a good look around and try to figure out anything unusual happening, which might possibly lead me to answers.

You spot two unusual magical auras... two seperate arrows... One in possession of two brothers living with a badly mutated and deformed human... The other owned by a man, and his father... The later a Ghost who lives in a photograph... The former playing with a woman's severed hand.

"...Magical arrows?" he whispered to himself. Mages were uncommon. Magical items even more of a rarity. This was worth investigating, whether or not it was related to his sudden, unexpected teleportation.
The old man wasn't too sure what to make of the ghost or the weirdo carrying a severed hand, so he decided to try his luck investigating the one with the two brothers and mutated man first.
1 in Speed to get moving.

You arrive at a house to find a brown haired young man in a school uniform looking down at the street from the shadows of an open window. The bow, and arrow sitting at his side.

Caine
When he realized someone was watching the street from the house, Caine resumed acting like some lost old American tourist just taking a walk and looking a bit confused... while at the same time using his powers to read the young man's mind to learn more about this arrow and see what it was about.
7 in Statecraft to acl all old confused tourist.
15 in Auspex (Perceive the Mind, Read Minds) to search the young man's mind, both in general to learn more about him, and more specifically about the arrow, and that bow if relevant.

You learn the man's name is Keicho Nijimura, he uses the bow to a shoot a special arrow that upon piercing the target will grant them a supernatural power called a Stand. He has been shooting people all over the town with this bow in the hopes of creating someone with the power to kill his father... a former servant of Dio who was mutated into a barely sentient monster due to an out of control flesh bud implanted in his brain.

Caine
The old man frowned, a bit astonished that one with such a potentially dangerous item would be so incredibly irresponsible and foolish in its use as this man was. In his desperate attempt at destroying a single monster, who knew how many more, possibly far worse, he would create in time? True power was not meant for just anyone, and anyone stupid enough not to realize that could not be trusted with it themselves.
Still, the problem did exist, even if that young man's solution was unbelievably shortsighted. And it was originally caused by a vampire, which bothered Caine deep down. Sighing, he walked up to the door and knocked. It was time to drop a bit of the loner old man facade and get to work.

You knock on the door and it opens partly to reveal his brother. "What do you want?" He asks. "We don't want anything sold so leave." He warns.

"That is quite true", Caine said, smirking... as his voice, and bearing, suddenly began feeling incredibly potent and convincing. "You do not want anything sold. However, I am told you want something killed. And that, perhaps, I might be able to assist you and your brother with", he said enigmatically. "How about you let me in and we can discuss the details away from prying eyes?"
6 (Ef) in Presence (Voice of Majesty), combined with;
7 in Social Skills (Persuade, Serious, Authority) ; for a total of 13 in convincing this guy to let me in to help deal with their situation.

His eyes widen, and he opens the door. "Wha- How do you know about that?" He asks.
