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.

The Irishman raises an eyebrow as the man walked over to the bar and reached up to rub the thumb thick scar traveling down the left side of his face, contemplating the figure standing in front of him. He walked up to the bar like he wanted something, but he didn't order anything. That was, a bit complicated but he could manage it.

"A, B, O, AB, male, female, whiskey drunk or beer drunk?"

Because really, they were only just setting up and the sorting processes were still being refined. Jason said at some point they'd hopefully have a much wider variety and selection but for a start-up venture they weren't doing so bad. So for now he merely raised a golden eyebrow under his fading lavender hair and regarded Charles with his bright green eyes.

A bartender quickly approached Charles. The Setite turned to face the man. The bartender started to speak and the first thing Charles noted was his Irish accent. The second thing was how he offered blood in such a nonchalant way. That was a good thing and a bad one at the same time. It was a good thing because that meant more cainites wandered this place. It was also a bad thing because it could be a very well conceived trap. He has seen places like this before back in Asia. Hunters wait for a cainite to order blood before staking him/her. It was pretty brutal practice, but then again Asia is a whole different planet. Charles smile and pretended to hesitate for a moment. After all, Charles found this place thanks to a cryptic recommendation by a local dealer that said 'people like you always go there.' The words from that drug dealer could mean anything. From tourists, to cainites and everything in between. "Red. As red as my hair, please" Charles said charmingly and with a little chuckle. He omitted the blood part, just to be careful.

As the Irishman went to get the setite his drink, Charles took a peak back at the super pale girl. No one should be that inhumanly pale. Not even fellow vampires. From the clothes she is wearing, the girl is not a Twilight fan, hopefully. Charles can clearly remember when Sophie was obsess with those books and the movies... good lord. It was the worse kind of torture you could inflict in history. "So much sparkle" was all that Charles could think about every time he remembers those darks days. Charles sees the Irishman approaching and decides to ask out of curiosity "Excuse me, but who is that extremely pale lady?"

"The Lady did not see fit te give me her name. I'm afraid ye'll have to ask her yerself."

The Irishman reached under the table and pulled out a second bottle he had warming in a pot of water kept at blood temperature. The black ceramic bottle transmitted the temperature into the blood, which in this case had come from a very whiskey drunk young ghoul, and brought it up to body temperature. Then he handed the bottle to Charles and rested his elbows on the table.

"My name is Lynx O'Rourke and I am handling the downstairs of the Hospitality Club this evening. Should ye need the management simply tell me and I shall ring him and request he comes down."

The Irishman kept his voice light and bantering. This might be the most vampires he'd ever had in the place. The pale woman was a good luck charm in terms of business. He did regard the vampire with amusement however, waiting to see if the man would OFFER to pay, or if he'd have to be so gauche as to request it. The bottle did have a small engraved 50EU on the side to show it's price.

Coming across clean blood wasn't cheap really. Especially if you wanted variety and the proper storage methods.

The bartender had no idea the name of the pale lady. Ergo, the mystery lady shall remain a mystery for now. "I'll call her ghost lady until I get a name" Charles thought with a little amusement. Charles thought of amusement where interrupted when the Irishman went to reach for something behind the counter. The setite tensed his muscles as he got ready to put up a fight. Seconds became hours as he carefully watched the bartender and kept an eye out at his surroundings. Charles brain was about to go haywire when he saw the bottle of blood. The Setite paused and looked around, no one was making a move or being eerily quiet. Everyone just followed with their lives like if nothing new happened. Maybe it was a place for fellow cainites, maybe it was still a trap. Either way, Charles was going to play along a little longer.

The Irishman introduce himself. Lynx O'Rourke was his name. Interesting name, Charles thought. It was Irish as you could image, so I guess the accent fits the name quite nicely. Lynx kindly added that if need be the manager could come downstairs. Charles decided to not test his luck and said "That won't be necessary, but thanks for letting me know" Being polite doesn't really kill anyone. Not as of yet, anyway.

Charles reached for his wallet and pulled a 50 note out of it. The bottle had the price in a fairly visible location, so Lynx didn't have to really state the price of the bottle or the fact that Charles needs to pay it. It was a little price, Charles won't argue that, but it was blood. "Here you go" Charles said as he paid the Irishman. The Setite grabbed the bottle with a little precaution as he asked the following question "Is this place frequent by people like me?" As far as he know this a public area, so using the word cainite or even suggesting the existence of vampires would break the masquerade. Moreover, there is a still a chance that this could be a trap. Sometimes is good to break laws, other is better to play it safe. Charles decided for his own sake to play it safe. One never knows who might be listening.

"Only by people like you, and their servants. In fact the only way to get te know the place existed was through an Anarch contact. Odd ye don't know that yet yer hear. Is there a breach in the places security? If so, it would be safest te let us all know about it so we can deal with it. Wouldn't want to jeopardize anyone's safety."

Lynx was by no means a violent or aggressive person. But Jason had explained his intentions and goals for this place pretty extensively and if random mortals knew about it, that was a serious problem Jason would want to wrap up. He wasn't going to let Jason's business endeavor become a masquerade breach after Jason had explained those rules to him. This was, after all, kindred/ghouls only and no normal mortal should know about it.

He also regarded the two vampiric women talking quietly. He hoped they'd get along. Last thing he wanted to see was some kind of... well, actually a vampire cat fight might be kind of sexy. At least the pale one was hot... the other one looked like she used to be hot, then she got a little... deadish. Nice figure at least.

Charles fears left as soon as the Irishman explained what this place was and that to please help if there is a breach of their security system. That of course was not the case, according to Charles anyway. "Not at all. On the contrary. You guys have done a superb job" The man said with a kind smile as he thought about what to say next. However, all he could think about was the words that the dealer said to him. It made perfect sense now. It was a place for vampires and their ghouls. "People like me" He thought with logic. The dealer was a ghoul, but whose ghoul? At this point in time Charles was certain that the dealer was not a dealer at all. The guy was simply playing a role because someone wanted Charles to come here. Maybe for a meeting, maybe just so Charles knows the existence of this place. Either way, he was not sent here by chance.

Asking Lynx about possible people know who might want to bring Charles here would be pointless. Anyone could have organized this. it wouldn't be that hard really. Charles is new in town and looking to make connections. Pretending to be someone from the circles Charles hovers and sending the man here, would be easy to accomplish. Charles have yet to understand the purpose of that plan, unfortunately. But for now, he will not worry about such things. He better get as much information from Lynx as he can.

"Excuse my manners" Charles said before he took a sip of his blood. "My name is Charles. Charles Bardin" He said with a smile as he shook hands with the bartender. "It is a pleasure to meet you Lynx. My apologies for the hesitation, but sometimes it is hard to believe what people tell you. Specially when you are the new guy in town" He added with a light chuckle. Charles took another sip of his blood before he decided to start from, well, the start "So. Who is who in this city?"

Veronicka continued through her tune while the woman who was still unknown to her conversed with the man at the bar. Veronicka was far from inattentive, but she didn't have the hearing potential to pick up on the conversation over her own piano playing. Not that she wanted to get in their business or anything, but she was new in the city and more than excited to start meeting some people. Soon enough she was finishing off their song. The woman seemed to not have received an answer she liked, but Veronicka wasn't sure what a likeable answer may have been. The pale queen rose from her place at the piano, smoothing down her dress, and closing the lid on the piano.

"Thank you very much Mr. O'Rourke," Veronicka replied before sitting down at the bar. She felt the woman's attention turn from her own personal musings to Veronicka. The Ventrue could feel the eyes on her flesh more easily than most. Quickly after the eyes met her flesh she was spoken to. This evening that had started out quite sadly, did seem to be looking up after all.

Veronicka smiled at the woman with a bright and shining smile. "Yes, I am quite new," Veronicka began. Her accent was quite thick and very Russian. Her place of origin was easy to determine. "Just arrived in London several nights ago." Veronicka turned more fully towards the stranger, when another stranger appeared through the doors. A handsome gentleman, who gave off the aura of a business man. That or a man in search of answers. Veronicka had no answers. Still she could feel his eyes scrutinizing her. In truth, she loved the attention. Not because it was from him, but she loved that attention in general.

She had always been called an Ice Queen in her country. Beautiful with a black heart. Veronicka just decided to turn that into a more literal term over the years. Originally it was a business move to intimidate opposing businessmen during the rise of the Oligarchs. Now she just truly enjoyed the look. Her skin was quite pale naturally, but she admittedly used a bit of powder as well.

"Name is Veronicka Veselovsky," the Ice Queen replied to the stranger. "I vas hoping to meet those who share curse."

"I'm afraid I don't share any curse." she smiled slightly."But maybe I can still help you."

A curse. What a pessimistic choice of words to refer to a second chance, the final and ultimate rebellion. Sure she was a slave of the blood and the Beast the same way she was chained to the needs of water, food, oxygen and a shitload more requirements when her heart still beat, but in her opinion this afterlife was quite an improvement as long as she could keep her killing instincts at bay. A curse no less. 'Redeem your sins brothers and sisters for you are monsters. The fruit of transgression and Original Sin. Feel sorry for yourselves, obey my will for that's the only path to absolution.' Said the Elders of the Camarilla. Guilt and fear; the tools of their trade.

Bullshit.

Veronicka smiled at Victoria. It was refreshing to start meeting new people finally. Though the red head who was eying her at the bar seemed to have gone rather quiet and stagnant. She instead put her full attention to Victoria.

"So Victoria," Veronicka began with that same heavy Russian accent, "Would you be able to help me learn a little bit about the local politics here in London. Unfortunately, I have only recently arrived, and it doesn't seem to be the case that anyone is actually taking control in the Anarchs. Which mean I am quite clueless as to how things are here in London, besides what Jason has already informed me of, which is very little."

It was true. Veronicka didn't know much about Kindred society in London. Everything she had heard about the place was either from Jason, or it was something that she heard through rumors. Like that there was a crazy vampire terrorist wrecking the place. It was mostly speculative rumors, but those types of things caught on in Kindred circles outside of London.

About time.

"Mmhm."

To the meticulous observer the slight changes in her features hinted this was not her favourite topic. And definitely, it wasn't. Instead of walking towards Veronicka immediately, she turn her head looking for the ghoul behind the counter.

"Hey kid would you be so kind as to pour me a Whiskey in the Blood? I've changed my mind."

Alcohol made politics less painful.

"I haven't seen you here before." She addressed Veronicka, still leaning on the counter. Truth be told she had been abroad for the past month, but everything in her spoke of a foreigner. "Is this some kind of Capes survey? Does the Prince want a report on the political state of his wayward children?"

Lynx poured a glass of... well himself actually. In this instance. That had been a damn fun night too. He suspended the mug for a brief time in a pot of boiling water to bring it up to the appropriate "fresh out the body" temperature and walked quietly over to Victoria, setting it down next to her quietly.

"That'll be 200 pounds, when yer ready Ma'am."

He murmured softly and quickly returned to the space behind the bar. He supposed there were those who might consider the prices steep. But... did people really think of how hard getting a liquored up person to donate a significant amount of blood was?

Not to mention refrigerate said blood, keep it from clotting, keep it from congealing. Not to mention vampires were less affected by the chemicals in the blood than a person was so to give them the same kick you had to REALLY get them drunk or stoned. He had a passion thought. He wondered if weed flavored blood would be a hit? He'd have to talk to Jason...
