Key Figures
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.

It wasn't any night in special when the Gangrel walked inside the Tripper, she was wearing long clothes for such a heated place and the season being spring. The most notable of all was the long leather jacket and the gloves without the tip. On her feet, the durable travel boots and jeans did their part as well. The hair was black and wild, not even reaching the shoulder line and hiding her ears while at it. Makeup hid the most notable traces of undeath in her face, with lenses hiding the nature of her eyes for the most part.

She sniffed the air one she was inside, and a small expression of disgust appeared on her face. A bunch of people together in the same place for too long never left a good "fragance" to her tastes. She eeyed the place slowly as she advanced towards the only person she had come to see that night.

Frankie leaned back in her chair flipping through the copy of Fahrenheit 451 Aguirre had given her when they'd met. She grabbed the receipt from the coffee place she'd met her at, that she'd been using as a bookmark and closed the book. She relaxed and rolled her neck before putting a cigarette between her lips and lighting it. It was as she was slipping the lighter back into her pocket that she noticed the strange woman walking start towards her and giving her a fierce stare.

"Nora, why the fuck is she staring at me?" She hissed.

Nora'd been busying herself with the daily crossword when Frankie's hushed, and rather alarmed, tone broke the silence at their table. She looked up to Frankie with a quirked brow as her icy blue gaze wandered from Frankie's bright ass pink hair to the stranger that was heading straight for them, "I don't fuckin' know," She cocked her head to the side and watched Kiara get closer, "Ask her yourself, do I look like a mind reader?"

Kiara's gaze moved from one girl to another until eventually settling down upon the other Gangrel.

"You must be Nora, I'm Kiara, the new Gangrel head honcho in the council and all that." she introduced herself after getting close enough. The ability to find another Kindred in a crowd was unsettling but useful. "I want to talk to you about a couple things" It was an unnecessary aclaration, but it was there for if Nora needed to tell the other kindred to piss off, or she was someone the Baron trusted, it made no difference for Kiara.

Nora looked to the baby Brujah, "Fly away, little bird. The vultures have roadkill to pick at." Nora had acknowledged Kiara with a small smile upon her approach, but had yet to formally greet her. Rising to her feet, she extended a hand to the fellow Gangrel, "The one and only," she quipped, her smile brightening as she shook the Primogen's partially gloved hand, "Forgive me, I figured I'd be seeing you at some point, but I also thought you would be Matthew Harkness. I can't say I'm upset to be meeting you instead. Please, have a seat."

Settling back into her seat, Nora reached for the glass of gin and tweaker blood and taking a sip before letting her gaze rest on her new company, "Can I get you anything to drink? It's safe here, I can assure you. Have whatever your dead heart desires," she crooned, leaning back in her chair to look at her fully, "The Masquerade won't be broken here." she made it a point to mention this for the sake of her Camarilla counterpart. "So, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Frankie scooped up her book and nodded her proudly pink mohawk at Nora as she looked around searching to see if she could find someone she wanted to sit with. She caught sight of the Anarch marketing department, the one and only, Espen Schroeder sitting off by herself sipping a glass of what looked to be her new favorite homemade concoction of champagne, a bit of vodka and pink lemonade, and one of her more frequent conquest's, Chelsea, blood mixed together into something she liked to call Pink Panties.

Frankie smiled she could see two bottles on the table in front of the blond, and she could see her name written in the woman's quick scrawl across on of the bottles. They'd had a conversation last week about the fact that her low tolerance for alcohol in life had made it down right horrible to drink in unlife.

She gave Nora a quick salute, "See you later, Boss Man. Gotta go see a lesbian about some panties."




OOC: Searched "cocktail recipes" since I don't drink and found this and thought Espen would drink this for its name alone.

Kiara accepted the handshake and sat down when offered the option to do so "A Ventrue on the rocks would be great" She said jokingly as she made herself comfortable. Her eyes followed the leaving girl until she was gone, Kiara was so far out of touch with certain terms that she took the entire thing about the lesbian and the panties seriously. Not that it actually mattered, for that, the Brujah was free to pursue whatever prey she desired.

"And I came here to talk about a certain Ventrue too. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the newest Prince this city has."
Continued bringing her gaze back to Nora.

Nora laughed under her breath, "As picky as they are, I could only imagine what they'd taste like." she set her glass down on the table and motioned to the barkeep for a standard 'draw'. When it was served to her, Nora's smile continued to brighten, "It's not the most sophisticated drink in the world, but it gets the job done."

At the mention of a certain Ventrue, Archon Hamilton's prominent features came to mind. He was the only blue blood she had spoken with in some time, "We've met on a couple occasions, but nothing quite extravagant. He's much more..." she wondered how she should word it, as gauging Kiara's tone on the Ventrue in question was vague at best, "Personable, then his predecessors, of course." she bent her chin to meet the Elders gaze. She couldn't be exactly sure of the other female's age, but she was definitely older then Nora. It was in her scent that Nora breathed in, saving the smell to memory. "What of your new figure head? Has he been sullying my good name?" she quipped, the playful sarcasm in her tone unmistakable.

Kiara's expression narrowed down to suspicion "Well, if he's made any promise to you, I'm afraid you've been sold smoke. The Primogens were never consulted on such an affair. Has he...?" Inquired then with curiosity, it wouldn't surprise her but if the leader of the Anarchs was being played a fool Kiara figured she should be the one to break it down to her. The sight of blood was always tempting but her eyes did their best to remain upon Nora and not fixed on her drink for the time being. Paranoia had a way of not letting her enjoy anything at all for fear it could be a potential trap of sorts.

"I warned him," She started, crossing her arms beneath her bust and regarding Kiara calmly, "But apparently you two are on two completely different pages. Not even pages, but volumes." Nora laughed and brought her hands back down on the table, "Support is a far cry from an advocate. Words make people feel good, as I'm sure you know, and when people feel good, they get comfortable. That's when their true colors show. I think his would shine much brighter if he weren't so concerned about his public image and what everyone thinks of him."

Nora looked away, one of her hands moving to grasp the cup that sat before her, though she never actually lifted it, just stared at it's liquid contents with detached interests as she spoke, "Don't worry yourself about what he's promised me. I've been around long enough to know better than to take word of mouth seriously. It's what he's promised to his peers that I'd be concerned about. He's got ambition, that's for sure, but he needs guidance. He seems to think he can do this all on his own, but he's too proud to ask for help when he needs it most, and I'm sure he'll need it..."

Nora finally took another swig of her drink before finally looking back to her, "I hope, if only for the sake of some fucking balance, that whatever issues have presented themselves get resolved." She smiled wryly. None of this was a shock to the Baron, nor was anything she said a lie.

Kiara nodded, Nora seemed to know too much about the Hamilton, which wasn't a bad thing necessarily but it made her wonder just how much did she know. "So he has" she said and took a long, weary sigh. "I can't say I'm surprised. But you seem to know that whatever he's promised you is smoke, specially since the powers of this city do not lie with him as he fancies. It is the equivalent of a man who is bankrupt and continues to write checks in hopes no one will find out. As such, the other clans have gotten weary of him and his attitude, and his actions. His office is not a forgiving one.

The only issues being resolved are the ones I'm making sure they're being solved. And one of such things is this"
Explained letting her back reach the backseat of the chair, and letting her push make the skeleton of the chair chirp "I figure you couldn't care less about who fancies himself a Prince as long as you're left to your own devices. If you want to fuck with the Prince though, the time is now. It would be good if you were to meet with the Council concerning said issues, to get an agreement on some common terms that actually have some backing and legitimacy when the chips are down."
