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.

Yuki hadn't noticed it before but the Kraken climbing the mountain adorning the shop is -her- design! ..which makes the young woman curious enough to go do some unplanned exploring...And possibly get a few more eye-fulls of the tasty, tasty man she drew it for..or well, -technically- it was for his girlfriend..Still.. -looking- is okay, isn't it? And private perving..quite a lot of private perving, even if she has to save it for later at home...hmmm..that voice...it still makes her tingle all over...YUM!

So the small, slender brunette parks her little bubblegum-pink car and slips into the shop with her ever present metal case slung on her shoulder.

Today she's gone with eclectic again: The usual sensible boots, white stockings up to her knees secured with black ribbons tied into bows, a black skirt that leaves just a bit of skin visible between the stockings and the skirt, a tailed coat like a tuxedo with wide sleeves, a red tie and a white shirt with ruffles at her throat, fingerless gloves, a choker with a small bell and a bowler hat with brown kitty ears seemingly poking out through slits cut into the hat.. And a walking cane.

...eclectic...yes. And strange. Well, not for her. But for London? Probably. ..almost certainly.

She looks around the shop with bright, curious eyes twinkling. Ooooooohhh..
Yuki is somewhat small, with an athletic build but the muscletone of a wet noodle.
She looks to be in her early twenties.

The place was colourful, or at least it was red! Deep red and black with artwork of various kind covering the wall nearly from floor to ceiling, while a black and while pattern of tiles covered the floor.
Whoever had chosen the interior design they liked colours and they liked them bright. Because it was suppose to be inspiring to walk into a tattoo parlor, not gloomy and doomity doom doom. Sure, there was the possibility of it being part of an image, though really, Lucy as per usual had simply gone with what she liked when she'd decorated the place, giving absolutely zero fucks as far as image went.

In the background music was playing at such a level as to make out the lycis but not so loud as to provide anything but a comfortable ambience to the place. Though, it seemed strangely devoid of people. Kinda. Sorta... there were some low sounds coming from just around a corner were Lucy had her work space and it sounded like giggling. Giggling and murmured whispers which, should the visitor decide to look, she would find the source of as Lucy sat comfortably straddled across the larger Brujah's lap in one of the leather chairs usually reserved for costumers.

Mind you, clothing was still on! Though with the place having been quiet up to that point during the night, the Swede had grown bored and when Toran had dropped by she'd dropped him into the chair and climbed into his lap before he could protest. Not that he was all that likely to protest. Or at the very least, she would've been disappointed if he had given that she quite happily nipping his lips with her arms wrapped around his shoulders.

What? Happy vampire was happy! Though with her back towards Yuki she hadn't noticed that anyone had arrived.

Nor is she too likely to notice anytime soon because the mischievous smiling little pervert quietly hops one of the barstools infront of the counter, clenching her metal case to her chest and observing the two making out with a broad, impish smile on her face and twinkling brown eyes running up and down the blonde tattooist first then her delicious mountain of prime Scottish beef.

Yummie-yum!

It probably isn't until the small, Japanese girl props her case onto the counter that anyone might notice her presence.

Depending on how deeply the two are into their kissing it might not even be until the young woman produces a soft, rumbling purring noise from her throat..possibly caused by one of her dainty hands straying south of the belt that holds her skirt up. Or rather, that's -exactly- what's making her purr. Well, that and the show being put on for her. Although probably not intentionally.

An eclectically dressed young woman with freckles, glasses in front of cheerfully twinkling, expressive brown eyes and a deeply, deeply mischievous smile. Watching them with every sign of enjoyment.

"Lucy, I think you have a customer"

The voice was like black smoke rising from the depths of a cave. Dark and deep and murmuring into Lucy's ear as the large hand rubbing her back pauses and one frost-blue eye peeks over her shoulder. Then he blinks slowly and recognizes the girl.

"It happens to be the artist who did the Kracken design for that plaque I made you. I think she's happy to meet you."

The voice, deep and rolling, was dry as dust as he laughed slowly and lifted Lucy off him to rise to his feet. The 6'4 260 lbs man was shirtless and wearing a black canvas kilt, which he carefully pushed back down to his knees. His chest was a mass of muscle and curling black hairs, along with two barbells crossing in each dark nipple. His right side was covered in twisting metal plates tattooed into his skin, the metal torn as though the cybernetics inside were bursting to get out. Exposing wires, gears and clockwork. His beard was well trimmed and his hair seemed the exact same length as the last time Yuki saw him.

He rose slowly to his feet and brushed a bit of lipstick off his lips. Not much since Lucy didn't go in for heavy makeup, fortunately. He rubbed his mechanize-inked hand through his hair and grinned, nodding politely to the... occupied little artist sitting on her stool.

"I believe you said that your name was Yukiko? Well this is my wife Lucy."

Because damnit that's how he was going to describe it and all the people trying to squash that idea were welcome to take a belt right to the mouth as far as he cared. The mans heavy legs were actually bare all the way down,t he kilt and a heavy belt seemed to be the only thing he'd been wearing. Then again, he hadn't expected to be making out in the front today either when he'd stopped in to see how Lucy was doing on her latest drawings.

Huh? What? Costumer?

Oh.. Oh! She'd actually kind of forgotten they were in the tattoo studio, though the look of embarrassment that crossed her face made it quite clear that well, she suddenly did remember as Toran picked her up and set her feet down on the floor.
Though, despite said embarrassment and the quick fixing of her clothes, making sure her top wasn't accidentally showing off too much skin, she did smile, flashing Yuki a grin once she managed to get her bearings. Obviously trying to look past the fact that the little Japanese girl seemed to be uhm, enjoying the show as it were.

"It's nice to meet you Yukiko" obviously she hadn't thought she'd meet her like that but hey, at least clothes were on and she was decent! So, you know, could've been worse as the embarrassment seemed to quickly be fading in place of her usual sincere friendliness. It had been a tad bit more blush worthy when Toran had decided to teach her the importance of having working locks on her door back at her old tattoo place... There had... been some rumors going around for a while afterwards... And a few people who'd gotten chased out the door with threats of violence...

Anyway!

"The drawing was really awesome" she even pointed to the wall near the chair where, should Yuki look, she'd find the drawing framed and hung up on display.

It's probably a good thing that Yuki isn't prone to envy, because well...yum, yum, yum. 260 pounds of grade-A beef. And some personal considerations about just what he hides under his kilt. ..should she? Nooo, that would be rude..

Then again, she's practically devouring him with her eyes as it is. Who knows what she's doing to him in the privacy of her own head. ..whatever it is it's making her purr louder. ..or well, until the two lovers detach and Yuki makes a bit of effort not to be so obviously enjoying the show. A bit. ..lil bit.

She slips from the bar stool and follows Lucy's gesture to her drawing and adjusts her glasses a little before squeeing softly and bouncing on her toes. Yuki is always delighted to find that people enjoy her work enough to display it..and in this case even frame it.

"Aww, you even framed it!"

Oh, let's not forget our English. Or our manners..

Her hands fold infront of her and she bows politely.

"Miyazaki Yukiko. Or, you know, MissMatch, if that name means anything."

Twinkling brown eyes go back to the wall to look at the other artwork with professional interest. ..and sudden inspiration!

Toran tapped a bronze plaque on the top of one of the counters and smiled.

"This is the present I made using your drawing Ms Miyazaki. I took the pattern and used it to acid etch the bronze plaque and added the name of the parlor underneath it. Kind of like the old ships plaques from the 17th and 18th centuries."

It was her drawing etched deep into the bronze surface of the plaque, about doubled in size with the words Mountain Kracken etched into the metal underneath. The man didn't seem too disturbed by Yuki's apparently oddness, on the other hand, you got used to seeing people... taking care of themselves... in the relatively privacy lacking space of prison. Still, the girl was clearly a bit, weird.

"I'll be right back Lucy, I'm going to go snag a shirt from upstairs. Don't want to be rude in front of our guess."

No, seriously, she either consciously overlooked that part or she had actually managed to miss it in her own brief moment of embarrassment. Either way, putting on a shirt? Heh, she doubted he was in any way being rude judging from the look the girl was giving him. Though it wasn't as if Lucy could blame the girl, she tended to look at Toran the same way rather frequently.

The name though...
"Miss.. Match?" she thought about it for a moment before her mouth parted in a "Oh! Oh, I've so tattooed some of your work before. Some soldier guys came in and wanted some pin ups of your characters" and well, the reference pictures they'd brought had been riskqué enough. So kinky pin ups it had been indeed. She had to admit she loved the girl's line though, she had a style that was well worth admiring regardless of whether or not you were into her style of uhm art.

It kinda also explained the get up, which, given Lucy's usual circle of costumers, didn't actually phase her one bit. It was cute! Then again maybe Lucy's idea of cute was a bit off. Eh, fuck it, who cared. She thought it was cute. Even if she herself would've looked ridicules trying on the same outfit.

"And sure, baby" the hand that reached out to brush across his abs as he appeared to move to leave. A soft touch along with a smile for her husband before looking back to Yuki with, for the evening, purple eyes. Go go lenses.

Nooooo! Don't cover up the man-candy! NOOOooo!!

Yuki actually pouts at the man's declaration though not for very long because frankly the woman is pretty easy on the eyes too. And they ARE married so Yuki should probably tone down the ocular molestation a tad.

Oh? She knows the name? ..because she..oooh..Suddenly Yuki is looking forwards to the next convention.. Maybe they'll be there and show her the artwork!

When the two part Yuki smiles warmly, now with expression pointed more towards 'aww they're sweet' than lust. She brushes her hands over her skirt and beams cheerfully at Lucy.

"Those look gorgeous!"

Another brief glance at the blonde's artwork and a soft little lipbite.

"Um..could i perhaps look at some of your artwork? I have had a large project done recently and i was thinking of getting something new to fit in with it.."

The big man grinned and patted Lucy on her rear before he vanished into the back and padded up the spiral staircase so he could grab one of his huge black muscle shirts. It would give the girls a few minutes to talk since he didn't want to put on a shirt that wasn't the cleanest.

He chuckled. If this was the military unit Lucy had told him about she'd had one hell of a day when she'd gotten them all tattooed. Since they'd been daring each other on WHERE to put the tattoos and it had gotten a bit extreme quickly. Then again he could have sworn she'd said they were American Special Forces.

"Well, sure" in fact, she might've noticed the massive piece adorning Toran's back when he turned to head out of there.

The tattooed armor plating on the side of his torso and the part metal, part mechanical tattoo sleeve covering his right arm had been expanded upon so that their circuitry, clockwork, gears and plates could be seen extending onto his back where they appeared, at points, to have dug into his skin and flesh.
This optical illusion was strengthened by the way they seemingly tore out of the skin again where they'd transformed and merged into a mechanical beast of a dragon which, from the looks of it, was trying to tear away from his back by ripping through the skin.
The piece covered most of his back, using the negative space created by his natural skin color to accent the gray scale work which has been done with great attention to detail. The metal nearly gleaming as the beast's one colored in point, a glowing robotic eye, stared at the onlooker with malice and a presence as if it truly was alive. If the thing could roar, it surely would've...

As far as Lucy's work went, that was really one of her best pieces though as she motioned to the walls there were plenty more to chose from if the girl was looking for inspiration.

"I got a couple of portfolios too if you're interested" the Brujah said, moving to dig out a couple of said portfolios. []"And if you got any questions feel free to ask"[/b] it was the only way to get any answers now wasn't it?

"Oh yes please!"

Yuki beams with cheerful excitement, bouncing energetically on her toes with barely contained energy. The place is colourful and inspiring, and it is SO ending up in one of her stories.

"And i will! Say, do you mind if i use your place as a setting for a story? I love it! It's just..well there's.." ..a lot..there's a lot..it woudl be one of those drawings you can look at day in and day out and discover something new each time..which Yuki seems to like judging by the little squeel of excitement she makes. "It is -perfect-! And you two are just perfect! And so cute.."

She grins mischievously, hovering a little closer to the Blonde than may be strictly polite..although most likely out of sheer excitement rather than any bad intentions. ..unless she's a very good actress. ..which she really isn't, wearing her emotions on her sleeve, or more accurately, letting it show on her face and in her eyes.

Use her place for a story? Heh, she'd seen the kind of story Miss Match wrote, and that would be... interesting.
"Heh, ehm, sure. If you like" the blonde chuckled, because whatever the girl might come up with, it would at the very least be entertaining. "Do I get a copy you publish it?" she winked. "You know, I can keep it around for my clients, can tell them my place was featured in an actual work of art" a pervy sexual work of art, but who the Hell cared! She'd tattooed one of the girl's pin up figures onto a man's penis for crying out loud. It would be kinda cool to say she'd had the actual artist there and she'd been so inspired she'd used the tattoo studio as a setting for one of her stories.

Moving over to the counter Lucy put the portfolios down and moved aside so that Yuki could look through them.

"And thanks" she glanced over her shoulder in the direction Toran had headed off in without really thinking, biting her lip for a moment as a dreamy look briefly graced her features. "He's really something..." in love? It was plain to see both in her eyes and in her smile even as she turned back to energetic little girl. Little, kinda, sorta, she probably wasn't that much younger than Lucy appearance-wise.

"I got lucky" yup, she definitively thought she was the lucky one.
