THE MONSTER OF EALING
Last night, several people reported the sighting of a "screaming red monster" in a quiet neighbourhood of Ealing. After a power shortage in the area, a building caught fire. It was then when, what was described as a "man shaped, footless creature" emerged from the flames, leaping, running, and screaming. One woman has told our reporters that the man had "teeth like a wolf, and the face of the devil". Police officers are still trying to get to the bottom of this; neither the power shortage nor the fire have still been explained. A spokesperson from Scotland Yard has stated that the "so called monster" might be a wounded person, escaping the fire.

TRAGEDY IN TOOLEY STREET
The police has found the bodies of three TFL workers in the construction site at Tooley Street. One of their colleagues raised the alarms last week, when the three workers didn't attend their shifts. The bodies of the men have been found in a deep hole, uncovered by the refurbishment works that are taking place in the area. According to the Police, the bodies were horribly mutilated, which has led to the wildest speculations. The names of the three workers are being kept anonymous, following the wishes of their families.

HOROSCOPE
MARCH 8 - PISCES
You are used to making sacrifices, to prioritising the happiness of others before yours. Even though that is a noble attitude, there are times in life where the only healthy alternative is to embrace your own selfishness and allow yourself some enjoyment. Reserve one hour per day to do something you really like. Treat yourself! Your colour for this month is blue.
Echoes from the past ring back into London. Their intensity increases until they are deafening. What once was a faded memory of a glorious time, now becomes a shocking reality. The consequences of actions taken decades ago ripple into the present, altering the lives of everybody in the City. Unguided and blind, Kindred wander around, trying to make profit out of the reigning chaos.


The appearance of four mysterious figures turned the city upside down. Mistrust and jealousy became the official currency of London. Serpents and fiends rise to power, misdirecting the blaming eyes of the Camarilla towards imaginary enemies. Only those with clear vision and the ability to trust each other strive, while the rest run towards a shallow grave.

You find yourself in London on a dreary, foggy night like any other. But what lurks in the shadows is the stuff of fantasies and nightmares, far from mortal reality.

This game uses the cursed and immortal vampiric condition as a backdrop to explore themes of morality, depravity, the human condition, salvation, and personal horror. We are a writing and roleplaying community dedicated to telling complex and engaging stories.

Your fate is your own. Mingle among the ivory-tower elite in the Camarilla, join the fight of the discontented and chaotic Anarch rabble, or set out independently and attempt to survive in London's nighttime underworld. Anything is possible in our World of Darkness.

Torans comment that it didn't have to be that way and she could stay herself, George seemed relieved of a heavy burden.

"That's good to hear, as I wouldn't want her to change into a suicidal or depressed woman, you know ? I'd like to keep her just as she is and perhaps I might need your help a bit more with it, if you'd agree. I'm not sure I can find the balance but I'll try for her... as much as I can."

Suddenly he felt like back in the days when he spoke with Sarahs grandfather in front of the intimidating phalanx of her male relatives and he looked a bit like an embarrassed teenager trying to convince his future father-in-law.

"I'll try to keep her as happy and well as possible, though I might not be able to cater for all her needs... I'll be there for her in good days and bad ones. If I needed help with that, would you two agree on being this help ?"

The blonde looked between the two of them again.
" believe Toran has already agreed to help and if I can, then, sure, I'll help" though she didn't know the woman so heh, she wasn't quite sure how much of a help she could be. Thing was, what did George really mean when he asked for help with catering to needs he might not be able to fulfil? She didn't say it out loud but it was in her eyes when she looked to her Primogen again. The Brujah would help if she could but, there were things she couldn't help with, that was outside of her reach or ability to give.

All in all though, this partof the conversation was more between Toran and George than between the three of them really. Since Lucy had never been a Ghoul herself and as such only had a limited idea of what a human experienced as a ghoul. And yeah, Toran knew Roisin better than Lucy did seeing as their only meeting had been a brief run in wedged in-between some rather heated feelings.

"Yes, I'll help sir. Any way I can. As long as it doesn't infringe on Lucy's domain."

He rested his hands on his belly and regarded them both. He had a feeling they were coming to the section of the conversation that would be mostly "vampire only" soon. There wasn't a lot he could discuss when it came to his own fitness for embrace, that sort of thing. He wondered, for a moment if George was hinted he'd need Roisin satisfied sexually. Oh that was an awkward conversation he REALLY didn't have the social skills to handle.

George nodded as Toran mentioned being willing to help in every way as long as it wasn't infringing on Lucy's domain, while looking a bit confused.

"Yes, that's very good, though I wonder what you mean by 'infringe on Lucy's domain', you know Could you perhaps explain it to me ?"

To bridge the silence he briefly switched the topic by taking an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Lucy.

"Here is your letter of reference. I tried not to write it too optimistically and yet having it do its purpose. I'll do what I can about the formalities but I'm afraid it's going to be mostly paperwork..."

"Ah Sir, I simply meant that, as you can perhaps appreciate, my loyalty to Lucy is the strongest thing for me. Since she's loyal to you there shouldn't be any kind of problem. I just hope to avoid any kind of cross purpose arising. Sometimes helping a new ghoul find balance can be a complicated task. If she needs something that would make you or Lucy uncomfortable, that could be tricky to handle. Some ghouls, especially in the beginning can became desperate and relentless for physical stimulation. That sort of thing. I'm sure you'll want to do everything you can to help Roisin transition easily. It helps, a great deal, that she already knows about vampires and ghouls and such. Mentally she'll be more prepared."

Toran shrugged slightly to show he didn't want to say anything offensive to George, just politely as possible telling him that the situation can be complicated.

"Thank you. I owe you for this" Lucy smiled at the other Brujah as she took the envelope, holding it in both hands almost as if weighing. She wanted to think it was the right thing. She also wanted to believe it would actually happen. And yet she was terrified of the potential consequences, not knowing what it would mean for the two of them. Not sure if Toran would actually handle it as well as he seemed to think he would.

As for the other matter. Well, she left that to be discussed between Toran and George really. Because it made her slightly uncomfortable and she didn't want to butt in on something that was, despite what some might think, not really her business. What Toran did was Toran's business insofar as that it didn't somehow endanger the Masquerade or her. Though she knew he wouldn't ever do the latter unless forced through powers that were beyond the defence of most kindred and mortals.

George nodded at Lucy mentioning she owed him one now and without noticing he seemed to get into business-mode.

"Yes, I guess you do and one day, I might ask you to pay your debts, perhaps sooner, perhaps later... I don't know it yet but when I do, I'll let you know how you can repay me, alright ?"

Being done with that theme he switched his attention to Toran, trying to explain him why exactly he might need his help and how it would exactly be.

"You know, I don't know if it violates Lucy's domain but there might be things, changes in her I really need help with... As example, I'm sure I tried mentioning it even though it might not be very helpful, but there are things I couldn't do to her even if it was needed, you know ? I just imagine she might get more of her dark side out, then I wouldn't know what to do... I might not be able to control her urges and need advice from time to time..."

With a sigh and an embarrassed look he spoke again, not addressing anyone, but just speaking to get a burden off his chest it seemed.

"I'm sorry, that must just sound pathetic, right ? I mean normally I should be able to get over the possible problems without enlisting help but... I just don't feel I could..."

"George, you obviously care a great deal about Roisin. That's clear. That can make it awkward to deal with some sides of her personality. There's no failing in that. I'll do whatever I can to help her transition and help her keep control of herself. Most of my experience actually comes from receiving Sabbat ghouls, the young ones, saved by those who care for them, and keeping them someplace safe where they can't hurt themselves, or others, until the vampire blood in their system wears off, then helping them get through the detox process. So I'm petting a lot of the negative side effects I've seen won't be quite as hard on Roisin, since I can only assume you'll keep her well provided with vitae. I will do what I can to help her with any of those dark urges, at least to find healthy outlets for them that don't involve destroying human lives."

He looked at Lucy and actually blushed.

"There are... alternative, methods of behavior that can get out a lot of the more base urges brought on by vitae that doesn't involve doing any permanent damage to anyone. I can help her consider those IF it's something she needs. It'll be up to you and she to decide when your presence is... awkward.. for that. I can also swear to you, that if she still needs help and I've been approved for Embrace by the Prince, I'll respect your domain intimately and do nothing to help her but the same methods I used as a mortal."

Given that he had no idea how long the Prince might take to decide on something like that, or the speed at which those things happened, he thought the was might be decent to say. He'd hate to offer to help Roisin only to be turned soon after and find that George couldn't handle a vampire helping her.

Alternatives ? What kind of alternatives ? Locking her somewhere until the urge goes away ? No, I can't do that to her...

Nodding appreciative george smile and tented his hands on the table, speaking after some hesitation.
"I guess, I owe you one now, Toran... Your help will be most appreciated, in any form you have when we get to that. Now what kind of... alternatives are we speaking of ? Getting her urges out without endangering lives sounds very intriguing, you know ? I might want to hear more about it and how it actually works, if you'd be so kind..."

Oh, sure he might have an idea where this might be going, but perhaps Toran meant something entirely different...

"I need a cigarette..." her voice was... kind of small all of a sudden as the Brujah just up and walked out. Out of the room, out of the apartment, out of the building to go have a cigarette outside.
It was rude, she realized. But it was better than having her emotions get the better of her given the situation and the company. So she just left, only bothering with a jacket because she had ehr cigarettes in it, and not looking at either.

Toran grunted in genuine pain as Lucy left. His mind clicking at the implications and what might have been implied. He frowned and watched her go, every nerve in his body demanding he follow her and explain. But he could serve her BETTER by staying here and explaining to George.

"Pardon. What I was attempting to say was that some of the harder, rougher forms of Bondage, Domination, Sadomasochism can stimulate the emotional release that some darker drives might demand of a ghoul. Helping them vent brutal cravings without actually violating anyone's rights. However, I couldn't perform those acts myself. While I can have a sexual relationship with whom I chose, in terms of Bondage and being fed upon, Lucy is the only one for me. I made that a promise to her. I could... teach you, if need be. Or help you find a professional should those needs become unmanageable. Still those are merely what-if potentials. There is a chance that Roisin will not suffer anything like those forms of emotional stimulation."

His damned awkward social phrasing had caused him to hurt Lucy, it was devastating him on the inside, but he needed to remain here and make a good impression on her Primogen. Despite the craving to chase after her and explain what he had meant properly.

George looked after Lucy in confusion, clearly not fully understanding what was going on. Frowning he listened to Torans words about the harder forms of some kinks helping to control the urges he hoped Roisin wouldn't develop. With an appreciative nod he acknowledged Torans offer.

"I'd rather get a professional if needed, you know ? I really don't know if I could do that to her... I hope these things remain if-potentials and nothing more... I respect your promise and thank you for the offer, Toran..."

With a sigh he got up gesturing to the door.

"Perhaps it'd be better, if you go after her and set right what might have been misunderstood... I'd either wait here, if you don't mind or if it is more convenient, I can just leave and return once you have worked that out... My apologies to both of you for anything I might have said wrong..."

"Yes sir. I fear she may have interpreted what I said to imply I'd break my promise with her. Allow me to go and fix that. Feel free to remain, put on a movie, make yourself at home while I go do that."

He rose as soon as tacit permission was given, pivots and runs out the door after Lucy. Not seeing her anywhere he went downstairs, then through the shop, finally outside. He looked around, his voice a deep soft call in the night as he tried to get her attention without bellowing like a love sick bull-calf.

"Lucy? Are you there? I think I phrased something poorly. Let me explain better to you hon."

She wasn't spotted at first, though he'd probably catch a glimpse of her footprints in the wet snow, running along the side of the building before disappearing around the corner from which a thin trail of smoke could be seen. Slowly dissolving into the cold night air as Lucy had in fact gone for a smoke.

The Brujah stood with her shoulders leaning against the building, right hand tucked under her left arm. Left hand holding the cigarette. It wasn't just to warm that hand though, but to hide it, as she might've, in a moment of anger, ended up breaking a couple of knuckles and tearing her skin when she'd slammed her fist into the concrete wall.

Stupid wall being stronger than her...

"I don't wanna hear it..." she closed her eyes, taking another breath of the cigarette before pushing away from the wall and tossing the half smoked thing into the snow to fizzle and die. "Let's just get this over with.." she... wasn't looking at him as she moved to walk past him towards the door. Her eyes were on the ground, both arms wrapped around herself as she walked.

And whether she meant it or not... like that he had to drop the subject. He took a deep breath and simply followed her back inside, hands clasped behind her back, head down, eyes half closed. He'd fucked up, she didn't want to hear any excuses for it. His spirits sank even further. Still, if she didn't want to hear it, she wouldn't hear it from him. That was the nature of their connection on these rare occasions when she was upset and spoke forcefully. He let his breath out slowly, through his nose to avoid a sigh she might interpret as criticism or discontent at her decision. She was his world, if she chose not to wish him to speak, he wouldn't.

He merely walked behind her and followed her up to George to get things over with...

She hadn't even spoken forcefully, she'd just sort of sighed it in a way that said that it was inevitably his choice. And no matter how much she hated it, she wasn't going to ask him to change it. The truth was, she needed George's support in this. And she would she owe him a whole damn lot for it. And heh, by the end of it, if she did manage to get permission, she was likely going to owe her ass to the Prince too.
But, it was what Toran wanted, perhaps needed. So of course she'd do her best to see his wish fulfilled. Even if it meant putting herself in debt she wasn't sure she'd ever be able to pay off.

Just... damn it for stupid feelings.

Her hand was lifted, the heel of it brushing over her cheek briefly, forgetting about the torn skin of her knuckles. She was too focused on the thing that mattered, making sure the deal with George was solid and making sure they offered everything they could as far as help was concerned on the matter of him and Roisin.

George still sat in the chair, reading an issue of the Catholic Herald and waiting for them, as if he hadn't offered Toran to leave. Once he heard them approaching, he closed the newspaper and folded it, putting it back into his pocket. Then he looked at them, especially at Lucy, it seemed with apologetic smile.

"There were things said that perhaps shouldn't have been said in the way they were meant and for that I apologise, as the fault is clearly on me... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable with my request, so we might still talk about that, if you want..."

With a sigh he frowned, thinking about the other matter at hand.

"Or we could talk about the things you called me for, if you feel better with switching the topic... your call."

The blonde actually managed a smile for George as she slipped her jacket off, having forgotten about the damaged hand as she didn't bother with hiding it.
"You've got nothing to apologize for. I just had a minor temper tantrum, you know how it is, no one's fault but my own" no need to mention hurt feelings. "The truth is, Toran is free to do whatever he wants. And I'm not going to do anything to change that" she'd only asked for two things, that he not let anyone else feed on him and for their bedroom to be theirs. Or well, she'd asked for three after the whole incident with Roisin. Though all three things were things she was willing to back down on if it turned out they were too limiting for him.

"Whatever he's comfortable with in order to help you and Roisin I'm fine with" no, that was a lie, but she would manage. She knew she could, she just needed to make her heart accept that with a bit of internal shouting and yelling. "So truly, no need to worry about anything. You haven't made me uncomfortable" Lucy said as she moved to take a seat again, realizing first then, as her hand touched the arm rest, that fuck, her hand hurt like a bitch.

"Oh, erm, the wall was stronger" she sort of smirked and forced the blood in her system to mend the damage, knitting flesh back together and urging bone to heal until the only evidence left was a few smeared blood drops that she somewhat carelessly wiped off on her pant leg.

"Please... continue" obviously she meant for him to continue with the matters concerning Roisin.

Toran seats himself so that the vampires can discuss things. He watched the exchange with frost-blue eyes, contemplating things. His thick shoulders were held neutral, neither high nor low. He rested his hands on his knees and watched the byplay, curious to see how these sorts of decisions were made in the Kindred world.

As Lucy said her running away earlier was just a temper tantrum without any connection to the things talked about earlier, George nodded, although he didn't look very convinced. He decided not to dwell on that, though, as she might have her reasons for it, pride and all... Instead the topic of Roisin was begun and... hopefully ended.

"Well, we were about finished on that matter, you know ? Toran had the idea we could try to suppress the darker sides of the urges should they really appear with more... professional help and practices from the darker side of the spectrum if you get me... I think I'll wrap it up with accepting your help thankfully and calling you once we get to an agreement on the date to start with the explanations..."

With a nod he finished that topic, looking at Lucy and Toran, if they had anything to add or wanted to start with the other theme...
