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.

Welcome To The Night

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.

Now, that's just novel. I mean the entire point of a vassal is to have them do the jobs you don't want to do, so why have an establishment that insists on ghouls being attended by their domitors?

Really, Anna's first friendly interaction with the movement is not going well, she should go back to crushing Russian Barons.

She gives Yuki an honest to goodness pout, speaking entirely frankly for the first time since they've arrived.

"So your father wont do business with me because of 'trust', he's all but said his fellow anarchs wont either and I can't even visit this place again to try and prove my worth otherwise because of my independence. Y'know, nobody ever bats an eyelid if a kindred wants to hold their own destiny."

Okay, thats a lie, pretty much every kindred does, because they're backstabbers by nature.

"...Okay, they do, but the point is..."

The girl slumps, hoisted by knowing the arguments to the complaint she's about to make far too well.

With an exasperated sigh, she straightens herself up and pulls out her phone. "Well, can I at least get the number of a cute girl out of all of this?" She asks in a droll, half-serious voice.

Yuki slowly opens and closes her mouth a few times trying to find a fair, equitable, diplomatic reply. Or several actually.

"Well..In regards to Father..He already has a collection of alarmingly accident-prone teenagers that routinely, but accidentally!, give him the vampire equivalent of a parental heart attack. And a stable of dogs, also a Mokave Cat. He does not -want- more headaches. No offence intended. And that is exactly the reason he does not want unattended Ghouls running around here, because he does not want to be responsible for what they -do-. Without wanting to sound cruel...Ghouls can be very passionate.."

The little Japanese girl gives Anna a small, apologetic smile, she knows what she's saying isn't exactly..flattering but it is mostly true.

"I know it is not fair. It is nowhere -near- fair. They get to be the pinnacle of evolution (note the sarcasm in her voice), the lords and ladies of all creation, the top of the food chain and everything else is just food, a tool or a pet. Or if they are lucky, not worth considering. And that choice is NOT theirs. It is deeply, horribly unfair. It is. But like it or not, you are a part of their world, you are an old, powerful Ghoul, that NONE of them have any control or influence on. And yes, that -scares- them because they are egocentric, paranoid sacks of rotting meat with a sliver of ego struggling eternally with the Demon inside them. Would -you- trust a powerful, unbound mortal with the knowledge she needs to END you forever? SHE can walk around during the day when you are supremely weak and helpless. Well, mostly helpless. ..erm..a lot less powerful anyway."

She shakes her head and flails a hand dismissively.

"Regardless..You are an unknown power, a loose cannon, a weapon in the hands of their enemies. OFcourse they fear you because they bloody well -should-. So they stay out of your way..or they try to kill you or possess you. Is it fair? No it bloody well is not! But that is the way their dark little world -works- and you either play the game, or...let go. Let time take hold and step back..join your ancestors and become one with creation, return when you wish, live a new, different, fulfilling life..Find all the things this shadow-filled existence has denied you: Find a wife, a husband, raise children, become old and watch your children and grandchildren explore and change the world."

Because..that's what Yuki wants for her friend..a chance to begin again, to live the life she -deserves- to live, not a life full of paranoid, spiteful creatures, a world of blood, deception and bitterness. ..the choice must be Anna's though.

Yuki smiles wanly and looks down at the floor, a little embarassed and steps closer to Annabel to look up and stand on her toes to gently touch noses with the Ghoul..and calmly take her phone to put Yuki's umber into it.

"..just a suggestion, i am sorry if i seem preachy."

Her voice drops further after she lightly pecks Anna on the cheek.

"You could hunt -them- and become exactly what they fear but if you do that then i do not know you and should you come near Father we will be enemies."

Nothing personal..

Yuki is somewhat small, with an athletic build but the muscletone of a wet noodle.
She looks to be in her early twenties.
Those with an interest in Manga may recognise her as 'MissMatch' a noted illustrator in the business.

...For someone who willingly got adopted by a monster, she seems to have a lot of issues with them. Anna remains silent all throughout the outburst, politely taking her phone back once Yuki's number has been entered into it, a bit lost for words.

Very lost for words, actually. This girls position is an odd one, being privy to all this information that thousands, probably millions over the ages have been silenced to keep secret, yet suffering no curse of immortality, having no fear of being targeted as she's still powerless.

Of course, Anna would learn later that she's horribly wrong on that assumption, but that seems to be her outlook for now.

"I've honestly..." she says eventually, gently nudging her nose into the other girls before stepping away. "...Never-mind, thanks. And don't worry about the hunting, ghoul hunting is more..." She coughs. "It's not a literal hunt."

To be more exact, its mostly a lot of wandering around, looking like an idea feeding victim, then turning on the Kindred when they reach you and bleeding them yourself.

Yuki 'hrm's softly and reaches out to gently pat Anna on the arm.

"I do not really want to know, i do not want their...taint in me. It is difficult enough as it is."

Not that she's about to say why.

"Would you like a drink? Not to worry, we stock beverages for mortals too. Tea?"

She shakes her head politely before nodding to the door. "If I'm not going to be welcome here in future, I'd rather leave as soon as possible, to be honest."

Plus, she has a hunt to plot.

"I do appreciate the offer, though."

Yuki nods politely and walks Anna to the door to the stairs leading out. Then bows politely.

"I do not need to remind you to keep this place secret from those not in the know, so i will not."

Except she has. Sort of diplomatically. ..as opposed to making it sound like some sort of threat. Anna probably heard enough of those already.

"Good luck Miss Snow."

Veiled threats, cute. Anna gives her own halfbow, only very slightly mocking, then makes her way from the club.

"Thanks, Yuki."

Wandering a few streets, she hails a cab and then heads back home.
