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.

Fixing the mess in Lessa's backstory; A question for the mods

So, Lessa's backstory involves faking her final death in her last domain. While I as a player am fully prepared to deal with any fallout that comes from that, she as a character is starting to regret it, and would like to get it cleared up - preferably BEFORE she meets the Prince. So, my question is, do I need to do a thread with the NPC account to handle that phone call, or can I handle this on my own?

PM sent, Jane.

And I THINK she can get this cleared up... She just needs to call a Brujah who is in mourning and tell her that one of the people she was mourning isn't really dead, and just left her to deal with her grief alone because she couldn't face her.... What can POSSIBLY go wrong? LOL I'm gonna die

You tell all this to a Brujah, who was mourning how Long?

Are you kidding me? What can possibly go wrong? Better ask What WILL go wrong... after all, it's a Brujah :-)

Wherever this Brujah lives, I hope, you have some photos from there, because it will never look the same anymore :-)

Walking away, whistling "burn it down" :P

This is a bit off topic now, but I don´t really want to start a new thread for this, and there´s another mess that needs to be fixed:

When Mrs. Carter meets Jeremy she says that she hasn´t got any signatures yet.
And Jeremy contacted Jane and Clarice to get another signature for her.
But then it turned out that the character got one signature from Agustin already (in another thread), and that this has happened before that meeting with Jeremy.
But now Clarice is already coming to the solicitor´s office:

http://w11.zetaboards.com/DanseMacabre/topic/10349343/2/

I´m not sure how to solve this problem.
If we edit the Primogen thread, then it´s not a matter of editing one or two sentences, that makes it difficult.
Maybe we could leave it like that, that she doesn´t have two signatures yet?
But then that other thread with Agustin would need to be edited.

What happened in the thread where Agustin gave a signature, he also advised her strongly to try and find someone more suited for a signature than himself. Since he's only a Malkavian Neonate of no particular importance just yet.

Meaning, Agustin didn't consider his own signature worth much but gave it anyway. I don't think anyone has to edit, as long as Lessa just goes with the tactic of just not counting Agustin's signature until she has to.

Also, I don't see the harm in getting three or four signatures in the first week. Sounds like a win win to me!

I hope this clarifies the situation. Thanks and sorry.

Agu's idea makes sense to me. I can add a line about her thinking that while she DOES have a signature, that signature came from someone that himself suggested she try to get someone whose opinion might be worth more than his, instead. So, the signature exists, but isn't really being counted in her mind, or something like that? Or. for that matter, I could even edit her speech to say the same thing. That she has one signature, but the person signing suggested she still try to get two more, because he's not sure how much weight his opinion of her would have, and maybe she should try to get someone more important. Then there wouldn't even be the inconstency on the form itself.

This is why I said that forums give me migraines, sometimes.

I agree, the idea sounds good, and I would like this version best. That would only be a small edit, and our thread can continue with Clarice coming.

That actually makes the most sense to me, too. And so it's been fixed.

And Agu, sorry, I missed your last sentence in your post. Don't apologize. Not your fault, and one of the hazards of forum play. Besides, Lessa is thrilled tht she got someone to sign for her for no reason other than wanting her to stick around. Even if he IS a third signature, now, it still means a lot to her that he signed.

So now there´s another problem...that could have been avoided easily.

I´m quite disappointed that Jeremy was excluded from the presentation thread.
Unfortunately I relied on it that Lessa´s presentation thread wouldn´t start without Jeremy...because I thought it was agreed that Jeremy will accompany her.
And now I suddenly notice that the thread has started on June 28th.

I was intending to make it Jeremy´s style that he accompanies new Ventrue for their presentation, but now this wasn´t possible yet, because the thread was already finished during my short absence.
I wasn´t informed that the thread has started, so I couldn´t even ask to wait for me.
I don´t think that waiting four days for my return would have been that terrible. I announced that I can post normally again tomorrow.

Might it still be possible to integrate Jeremy into this thread? (But that might be difficult.) He would be only listening anyway.

I'm sorry Jeremy. I totally forgot that he had said he wanted to join her. I didn't mean to exclude you, I'm just insanely forgetful, sometimes. (Honestly, I almost forgot to DO the presentation, and so posted that I was ready as soon as I remembered so that I wouldn't forget, again.)

That´s unfortunate...and so surely your character wouldn´t have simply forgotten Jeremy or excluded him intentionally.
So I hope this can still be corrected.

My suggestion:
I could write what Jeremy does, and the other involved players could edit that into their posts.
If the mods and the players agree. It would be great if that is possible.
I would think that only a few posts would need to be edited that way.

In any case, during the presentation nothig happened where Jeremy would have the seen the need to interfere.
So - to edit Jeremy into the thread wouldn´t complicate things. At least in my view.

I got to know, Alarik would behave a bit differently if Jeremy is present. That would make it too complicated to start editing. So we better forget about it.

But I´ll make sure that the next new Ventrue will be accompanied by Jeremy...
