| 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.

How long had he lived down here? Down behind bolted doors and hastily constructed saferooms; down where the light of the moon didn't reach and the passages had only the dim, flickering electric candlelight to adorn them? Long enough? He'd not stayed in one place for this long in...he neither remembered nor cared how long; thinking about it only dredged up memories of the past - memories of death and destruction wrought by his hand, memories of torture, murder and mayhem caused in the name of something greater than himself which then turned out to be a pale yet blinding lie. CRACK! The ceiling creaked under the weight of the tenants above, narrow columns of dust ran down from between the boards that did a poor job of hiding their poverty. The painted plaster started to peel and crack under the strain of the stamping above and thumping from next door. Zoya sat on the bed across from him coughing, the dust had never agreed with her; at its worst it had her coughing blood and yet this home was all they had. They were lucky for it considering everything, with a pair of brothers who weren't worth the piss that he constantly beat out of them and a father long since in the grave; how they'd managed to make ends meet and supply Anton and Lev with vodka to keep them from trouble was anyone's guess. The giant wrapped his arms around his Zoya as she coughed and held her close, keeping her warm and still as the coughing fits racked her lithe frame. Softly he stroked her hair and looked up at the ceiling with growing rage, even as he cried for his beloved sister. It was a strange moment for the young Vasili as he held Zoya, struck by love and care, riven by anger and sadness; he'd never felt like this before, with so many emotions and thoughts rushing through him it was impossible to handle. The nausea hit him in the stomach like a hammer sending slithers of doubt and fear through his entire body; what if Zoya could not weather this winter, what if he was left alone with Lev and Anton? What if the world changed and he was left scrabbling to catch at his sister's skirts? The prospect terrified him, his mind could not take it and nor could his sanity. CRACK! Anton whimpered, Vasili had lashed back at him, cracking his nose and sending him reeling. Anton was wiry and grizzled like their father had been; not designed to take even a single blow from the monster his brother had before. Now he lay in the corner like a coward watching as Vasili held his brother Lev's face in the flames; suddenly his brother came around and screamed in pain as his skin caught and his eye popped from the heat. Anton loved his brother, the pair spent most of their time together carousing and chasing women. But Anton was so struck by pain and fear that he could not even muster the strength to raise his voice. Then there was Zoya, standing there pale and beautiful, watching with a cold look on her face as Vasili mutilated Lev, ignoring the helpless whimpering pleas of Anton. |
