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.

It was one of these nights... he just got fed with all that noise and all these people around, the Gangrel needed open space and fresh air for a change, so Leo left his Harley outside the park and walked over the lawns along the forest. He remembered somewhere he had seen a big old willow and this was his goal tonight, just sitting under this tree, listen his wispering in the wind and watching the waters of the pond glitter under the stars...

He walked a while, hanging on his thoughts, from time to time stopping to listen, for not to bump into anything unexpected. He furrowed his brows, when he heard loud music from somewhere ahead of him. Hopefully not close to the spot, where he wanted to go... But well... the music came exactly from where he was heading for... A silent curse in his mind, then he squint his eyes, seeing a bunch of people there, doing something...

Carefully, he stayed back in the shadows of the trees, some 50 meters away from the group, slowly he moved from tree to tree in the shadows, to get a better view on the scenerey. Leaning against one of the trees, crossing his arms over his chest and watching These guys over there... Kind of brawling, but it seemed like they just... Play... whatever.
Strange Hobby, really.

Clarice attacked Dove all of a sudden, and then Jhael joined in.
Then Jeremy might as well train a bit with Agustin.

The Ventrue put down his umbrellas to the ground, he didnīt need them right now, and he prepared himself innerly for a fight.
Of course he was wearing a suit. Because if he was attacked by muggers, he would be wearing a suit, too. So it was best to train in the clothes he was always wearing.
Jeremy looked at Agustin.

"O.K., Iīm ready."

It seemed as if Agustin was waiting for Jeremy to attack?
Jeremy seemed to wait as well. He clenched his fists and went into a position like a boxer. Then he didnīt use his fists for attacking though, but suddenly one of his legs shot forward, and with his foot he aimed to kick Agustinīs knee...but Jeremy would already be glad if he managed to hit the legs at all.

Hehehe...

Jeremy kicked at Agustin! A bit of sleight of leg... The Ventrue's foot connected just above the knee, which caused a half-giggle half-wince to escape the Malkavian. It didn't really hurt, but it was kinda unexpected. Boxers don't usually kick, after all.

In response, Agustin having his arms down and out to the sides, it would be somewhat easier to grab his attacker's leg. So, that's what he went for. It didn't take as long of a second as it might have, had his arms been up to protect his face, so in the moment Agustin hoped he had the advantage.

If he grabbed a hold of Jeremy's leg, he'd pull on it. To try and unsteady him, at the very least. If Jeremy's balance was not very good, he might fall forward and be met with a knee to the chest!

Or, Agustin might just rip his shoe off or whatever...

Jeremy wasnīt a boxer, so why should he stick to rules of boxing? Especially as it was much more fun to do the unexpected.
The kick was a success. Jeremy smiled. He had discovered already when fighting with Chris in the office, that it could be quite fun to fight in an unorthodox way. As long as you didnīt poke each otherīs eyes out...

But then there was a hand trying to grab his leg. That malkavian hand managed to get a hold, and Jeremy was struggling to keep his balance. And then he simply tried o grab the arm of that hand that had grabbed his leg and pulled Agustin towards him.
Now they might both fall down, but Jeremy didnīt really mind. It wouldnīt hurt him much to fall to the ground.

There was something not a lot of people knew about Dove. It cropped up in casual conversation sometimes, yes. His job at Muse never really called for him to show off what he believed might be his only useful ability. Jhael had witnessed the infamous unitard incident in private, this was true, but there had never been any reason to cut loose and showboat a bit. Not really.

Until now.

As Ms. Harris came for him, Dove dropped and pushed himself forward in a fast forward roll. If he made it, she'd miss completely in her attempt to grab him. If he didn't, then it would still make him awkward to get hold of. It was only a little move, just a roll, but he hadn't done anything like it in a long time. For a second he regretted the way he neglected his practice, but now he had a long, long time to brush off the rust. This could be fun! If he could avoid being head-butted again.

We don't have to wait till the morning, the Sun will never go down. And we will be this way forever.
Dove stuff!

Agustin was relatively strong and dextrous, compared to an average hooman, but clearly lacking in experience. He was more the type to strike than grapple. So, his move was clumsy at best and when Jeremy grabbed him in response they both fell on eachother like toddlers with inner ear infections...

Letting go of Jeremy's leg almost immediately, Agustin tried to roll away and get back up to his feet. Yes, actually rolling- like he was trying to put out a fire. He would roll a good three or four times away from the Ventrue before stopping in a push up position and launching himself up to his knees and then feet with good ol' fashioned upper body strength!

Once back on his feet, he'd ask a question or more. "What is this, a mosh pit? We just gonna spar or, like, actually exchange pointers and shit? Learning experience plus fun, is what I thought this would be!" His voice was deep and giggly. Like a true madman, asserting his battlefield dominance so far only as a threat with a lower octave (whatever the damn musical term is for vocal range or whatever). Amused, but also curious as to how things would unfold.

Jeremy fell on his back, and that hardly hurt him, he wouldnīt get bruised by such a small thing.
He sat up and then got back to his feet.

What did the Malkavian mean with mosh pit?
Jeremy didnīt seem to get intimidated by Agustinīs words and answered in a jokingly mocking tone:
"Iīm not the teacher, donīt ask me. Patience...weīll surely learn something."

The Ventrue smirked.
"And weīre having fun already, havenīt we? Now you attack."

Jhael

* * * * * *
She can keep her teeth. Jhael was pleased enough the punch landed. Pleased enough that the impact of fist to bone under skin brought a wide grin to his face, a returned smile flashed to the Malkavian before her arm hooked around him. He heard Agustin and Jeremy tumble a few feet away while he was pushed off balance, teetering for a breath held moment until he latched his hand to her back, dig his boot to the dirt to keep balance and shove forward.

Catching sight of Dove dropping to a roll, memory of a certain picture he had on his desktop wallpaper cropped up. Oh, yeah. Wrestling team. "Should've worn the unitard!" he grunted to the other ghoul while straining against Clarice's grip, then grit his teeth and aimed a knee to her gut.

It seemed like everyone had fun, except Dove maybe. At first she couldn't believe, but then it stopped bothering her. There was enough mess around, like acrobatic Dove. This swift roll made her eyes widen, as if it could improve her field of vision

The bird flew away. Well, at least there was a consolation prize - Jhael. She promised him a beatdown, this could be done best in a ground fight. Before she could try to flip him over, she's got struck in her belly. Such moments were raising her awareness about a remainder of mortal organs. She took the opportunity in such moment of weakness and turned into about 120 pounds of weight pulling Jhael, along with herself, to the ground

The Gangrel still stood in the shadows, watching the group, still not sure, what they really did. Split in two groups, it seemed, but kind of unorganized.

His eyes squinted, wait... this whitehaired guy... wasn't that... hm... Bunny?
For a second, he thought about using his beast eyes, but not knowing who it was overthere, he decided to let it be. Would be hard to explain, why his eyes are glowing red in the dark...

Out of old habit, he also listened out in the night, never letting his environment without any attention.

Y'know what'd be awesome right about now? Kaio-ken! Or... Leaf Whirlwind! Fuckin' Eight Gates, yo. Skin turns red... That'd be sweet... Maybe a couple hundred years of acquiring Disciplines through whatever means necessary? Potence, Fortitude, Celerity... Yep, totally. Those main physical ones. Just to replicate into reality such badassery found in Manga...

Nah, but instead Agu just has regular old Malk stuffs to work with. Sure, there's blood buffing... But that won't get him to Rock Lee level. High level Obfuscate, drop from sight right in front of someone... Now that'd be useful in a fight. But how difficult would it be to pull off? Still need to hit hard for damage, too.

Anyway, Agustin and his cartoon muddled brainsalad contemplated for a moment the inevitable disappointment that was his fighting prowess. Jeremy invited an attack. No words needed! If only he liked skinhead music, he'd be so much more pumped for this.

So, Agustin ducked down a little and sprinted forward. Headbutt!

Dice Rolls?


There was a rock, slick mud underneath it or something, that the Malkavian hadn't noticed until he stepped on it full sprint- and promptly slipped and fell face first onto the muddy grass ground, practically doing a split in the process with his right leg sliding forward at an awkward angle. He fell over sideways, face now dirty with some pebbles and stuff. Ouch.

Jeremy was waiting for the attack.
He saw the Malkavian coming towards him, and Jeremy tried to get out of his way.
But he slipped, too, and collided with Agustin, falling to the ground unelegantly beside him, his face hitting the ground, too. It looked more like slapstick than like fighting.
Once again, the fall didnīt hurt Jeremy, but his suit was quite dirty now.
To lay here like this was a bit undignified, so Jeremy got up again quickly and cleaned his face with a handkerchief. Then he started brushing off the dirt from his suit with his hands as best as he could.

No. No, hey! What the fuck? Jhael went down with Ms. Harris, and it roused an anger in Dove that taking a head-butt himself had not. No, it wasn't some dumb rescue bullshit - He knew fair well that Jhael could handle this shit a hundred times better than he could manage himself. Jhael had been on the school fencing team. Dove had been on the gymnastics team. Who would get picked first in a team fight was a no brainer.

....And yet.

Watching the other ghoul get taken down like that, it made Dove's guts twist in disturbing ways. Nobody was breaking his pale creature! A stupid, poorly planned reaction fuelled by pure emotion led Dove to lash out at the pair on the floor. The kick, and he kicked hard if it were to connect, was meant for Ms. Harris, but the rage of it meant it might just as likely catch the one he meant to save as the one he meant to hit.

Someone in the Universe just really likes seeing these two young men fall on top of eachother. It's fuckin' weird. How many more times are they gonna slip and flail into eachother's arms? All entangled like star-crossed lovers. Gods damn it. Two for two, so far.

Agustin stood back up with a pained grunt. "Ugh. Well, that's embarrassing. Clearly I suck at this..." He said as he brushed some of the mud and grass off of himself. It felt like there was some gravel lodged in his bare nipple. Ouch.

"Whatever!" Said the young Malkavian as he stepped forward again. He wasn't gonna wait for Jeremy to finish cleaning himself off, cuz nobody in a real fight would. Right? When he got close enough, Agustin swung a wild haymaker at the Ventrue. Right hand, dominant.

Jeremy certainly wasnīt an expert fighter. But he had done a lot of ballroom dancing, so his body control was excellent normally...if he wasnīt distracted and didnīt happen to slip or stumble for some reason.
Max had taught him a bit back in Dresden, but just without weapons, and Jeremy had been so hopelessly inferiour, that he had got the impression he hadnīt learned much at all. He had moaned an groaned a lot and not listened much to his loverīs explanations. Even so, maybe unconciously he had learned something after all.
Fighting had been so much more fun with Chris than with Max. It was a lot better to have a teacher who wasnīt Jeremyīs lover, that was for sure.

While Jeremy was still trying to clean his suit he noticed that the Malkavian was already about to attack again. Jeremy reacted quickly. This time he didnīt try to dodge, but attacked, too, by hitting with his fist whatever part of body he might be able to hit, he didnīt aim for any special part, just wanted to score.

Jhael

* * * * * *
Ow!

He clenched his jaw with a pained grunt at the impact of back to ground that knocked some breath out of him, rattling his bones under more bones that clamped over him. Not a wrestler, Jhael had no ground game. He flailed, a boot kicking up at jack shit while his hand reached for her neck. Maybe he could choke it or something?

WTF was he supposed to do down here? "Fuck," he muttered behind grit teeth. Even if he could get his hand on the neck, she doesn't fucking breathe! Can't bite because if he might draw some forbidden juice.

...tempting.

His eyes narrowed with a strange look at her with his mouth up close to the corpseflesh. Could probably get a good nip, an unreasonable thing in his head suggested. Seriously, stupid idea, Julia.

Right. He squirmed to try to get a grip on her shoulders instead, eyes watering at a sharp rock digging at his shoulder blade. He caught sight of Dove looming above as he tried to roll her over.

Clarice tried her best to avoid crushing Jhael's vitals, he was supposed to come out of this fight on his own legs, not in an ambulance. For now she would beat him only with open palms, to avoid focusing force in a small point. A slap to his neck, or wherever the hand lands, would possibly enrage him a bit more

That grip on her neck sure felt a bit uncomfy, even that most of her mortal instincts already died out. The bestial ones though... Solely thanks to them she caught a glimpse of Malfoy's bloodlust-driven gaze. Deep inside she prayed he won't taste her shitty blood. It wasn't even the mental instability carried in every single drop that bothered her, it was the though she might get someone bound to her. Someone of high importance. Kaiser's face blinked in her mind for a split second, she lost her focus and could be countered with ease. Combined effort of both ghouls resulted in her being thrown aside and kicked right in stomach, or rather what remained of it
FUCKING MONKEY!

She felt there's more of it coming and even if bare hands can't do much harm to her, it could all still be painful. She had to take on the right mindset, ignore the pain as if it could negate any damage done to her body. It was one of those situations that made her wish and strive for supernatural resilience. Perhaps Jeremy would be kind enough to explain how it works, but for now...

If only Dove was within the reach, Chris would try to grab one of his legs and introduce his face to the lawn

Leo's brows furrowed the longer he watched the group overthere. Definitely it was no fun they did... no laughter at all. So, it must be some strange kind of training.
Why out here?

Again he had to suppress the reflex of using his animal eyes.
Could it be, Bunny and his pal fought a kindred? And the other two? Looked more balanced... well balanced on a low level, but balanced. Two ghouls? Two kindred without any fighting skills? Well, both possible.

What was the reason for this kind of training? Fighting the shovelheads it couldn't be, these fights were dirty and mean, nothing half as nice as these guys overthere did. So it must be something else, maybe to impress any girls?

The Gangrel grinned, geesh... lots of training ahead then...

Roll for defense
 


Agustin's desperate swing missed, and instead he caught Jeremy's fist in his own jaw. Fuck. Ouch. That was definitely not the intent. Either the Ventrue had some decent force behind it, or it was a lucky hit. Precise. Agustin could feel a front tooth loosen and knock around just a little in his mouth. He'd have a bloody lip if he were mortal still.

And now comes the counter-counter attack, cuz Agu ain't gonna give in just yet! Fuck a bit o' pain and a loose tooth (or even jaw). He's gettin' some fuckin' hits in, for his own pride if anything else. Not just gonna stand there and get pummeled by some suited Blue-Blood.

While absorbing the brunt of Jeremy's punch, Agustin launched his right leg up off the ground; throwing himself off balance in the process... But hopefully landing something half-decent.

Roll for attack
 


So, the Malkavian whirled wildly and fell off balance after Jeremy's punch. He couldn't tell in the confused mess of his own move whether he even brushed against Jeremy. Foot, knee, whatever. He'd be at the Ventrue's mercy for a second or two, maybe. Gods damn it.

Jeremy was surprised that he even managed to hit Agustinīs jaw.
That was pure coincidence, Jeremy hadnīt aimed for that.

dodge

The Ventrue saw Agustin whirling towards him, but Jeremy managed to hop aside quickly enough, his movement was very swift.

counter attack

He noticed that the Malkavian was off balance and tried to hit him. But instead of scoring Jeremy swung his arm to wildly and got off balance, too, slithering across the grass. This was...frustrating.
