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.

Blocks of Timey Wimey; ATTN: Nora, Paddy, Renard

There's a bit of a Timey Wimey puzzle that needs sorting for different, related events and how they interlock. This is mainly related to the paddy-abduction, but also determines what Nora knows about the attacks.

Going purely by when the threads were started, the order would be:

1. Night One (Started 11. September)
2. Grand Chasms (Started 25. September)
3. Advisory Committee on Strategic Questions (Started 27. September)
4. Order Prevails in London (Started 19. October)
5. Night Two (Started 22. October)
6. [Thread or continuation of Grand Chasms, where Paddy is returned to Alarik] (Yet to happen.)

This creates a bit of a discontinuity, because Paddy was clearly around for the Advisory Committee on Strategic Questions, two days after his alleged abduction. It's also a bit 'meh' that Nora and Alarik would be discussing Big Picture stuff without taking Night Two into account, so I would suggest the following:

1. Night One (Started 11. September)
2. Grand Chasms (Started 25. September)
3. [Thread or continuation of Grand Chasms, where Paddy is returned to Alarik] (Yet to happen.)
4. Advisory Committee on Strategic Questions (Started 27. September)
5. Night Two (Started 22. October)
6. Order Prevails in London (Started 19. October)

On the upside for Paddy: this means Alarik won't be pissed with Paddy when Nora comes to haul the man before him.
On the downside for Paddy: this means Alarik will feel doubly betrayed by the whole 'apology' scandal after he just got Paddy out of a pickle and quite possibly charged him a boon for the pleasure.

With regards to Nora's knowledge of events during Order Prevails: in the timeline I propose, She'd know about Night One and Night Two and would also know whatever she learned during Grand Chasms. She'd also have met Alarik face-to-face once before when returning Paddy.

I know my absence has a big hand in this issue. Grand Chasms should've been finished a month ago, at least. But RL happens, and sometimes it can be a bitch. For that I apologize.

I'll wait for other opinions, as my hands are pretty much tied with the issue.

Second one it is. The less paradoxes the better. I still think that using the dates of the day the thread was started is a bit small-steppy, if you will.

Using the start dates is somewhat arbitrary, I agree, but better than having no guiding principle at all. And the point of the switcharoo is to eliminate the paradox which, I think, it does.

Anyway, can paddy sign off on this? Would like to proceed!

I agree indeed. The less Paradox we have the better. But I've got to make things just a lil more complicated. The general setting idea was to have Chasms on the eve of the Advisory Committee but after said meeting blew up. I think I made a reference to that in one of my opening posts -- being pretty vage though, seeing as that meeting had not yet happened and I only had a rough sketch of what would happen to work with. (Paddy had a limp though or something. Or I could give Paddy a limp)

Other threads that have bering on this are the Performance Art in Eylsium (burned trees) et al, which I kept temporally vague enough to handwave them away.

So I would like to propose:

1. Night One
2. Advisory Committee
3. Chasms
4. Return of The Paddydevil
5. Night Two (Started 22. October)
6. Order Prevails in London (Started 19. October)

I can agree with Paddy's proposal, BUT would like to kick off the 'return of the paddydevil' thread really, really soon. Perhaps it can even be started tonight/tomorrow and run parallel to Chasms?

I would also ask that there are no new threads involving Paddy or Paddy taking part in stuff that takes place after he's been released, since Alarik will be quite pissed and will probably constrain paddy in ways that I cannot yet predict. This will depend on the RP. Sending him back to the anarchs for punishment or tossing him into prison and setting up a trial for breaking the first tradition would not be out of the question. Hence no having him walk freely after being returned to Alarik, please.

Okay. Having reviewed all this AND talked with most of the people I'm going to start off the continuation to Grand Chasms with notes on the agreed timeline. Post will follow shortly.
