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.

Margo replies softly "You're doing just fine right now? You seem to care about me. You did then, you do now. Right? That is how it starts. You care about people even if you might get hurt. You try and trust even if you might get betrayed. And you just keep doing that no matter what if you can."

She leans back against Ares' arm. She liked the size and strength of the man. Not in her usual heart-fluttering way, but in a way of caring for someone that might care for her. She never had a big brother.

Margo kept talking, as much to herself as to Ares "Not to say you don't keep your nasty for when you need it. We both know you can't survive in this world if you're to soft. You just keep that beast caged if you can when you don't need it. If you can realize you don't always need it" She looked back up at him "Because you don't, you know."

Easy perhaps for a Toreador to say. But it can be one of the gifts of the Rose. They are flowers and thorns; and can help other kindred find that balance, provided they have found it for themselves.

I...I do care he says in a way that seems to be both a reply and a declaration or even a discovery...tough to tell with Ares. It felt nice to have contact with Margo...much like the little sisters he once had so long ago. If he stayed in London, it would be due to her and Ronnie...they have proven to be good anchors for him.

The last people he let in like this were all dead, his mortal family back in Brooklyn, his friends from New York, his original team in 1991 on his first Nightwatch Contract...everyone. he had began to feel he was cursed...could Margo be the key to lifting this curse. Ares made his mind up as she held her head against him that if he was the curse, the grim reaper, the Harbinger of Death it self, then he was going to do his best, come hell or high water to protect her...if only even from himself.

Changing the subject slightly, but trying to still show interest in her unlife, he asksSo, what do you do around here?

Margo sat back from him so she could talk to his face. She lifted a brow "You mean other then feed and paint and get in trouble? Not much." Margo shrugged.

The little Toreador continued "Things have taken a turn for the better lately for me, to be honest. For the first time in a while I feel like I am out of crisis mode, which is a nice feeling."

Margo was wondering if Ares was safe in London. Far as she knew he did not have the word of the prince, and if he was not with the Anarchs either... The Rose decided not to ask. The last time she did became... awkward to say the least.

Instead Margo asked "How long do you think you'll be in London?"

I've been here about 2 weeks...met the Prince, got in trouble with the harpy, and pissed off the Anarchs...It's a record, even for me. I'm ok though....So, crisis mode is over? That is good.

So, what are things looking like for you and your clan here in London?

Both Margo's brows lifted as he spoke "The prince, the Anarchs and the Harpy?" Margo snorted. "Why are you still here? I'd get the fuck out of dodge if I were you." She smirked. Somehow Margo just assumed that the big man could handle himself.

She finally replied "There are only a few of us. I only know the Keeper, Leo, well. Our Primogen is a bit... aloof. I haven't seen him much."

Margo added "I wish we had a few more Roses to be honest."

The little Toreador then came back to the first thing Ares said "Since you're in all this trouble, what are you going to do, if you don't leave?"

I don't know. . .part of me says go back to what it is that I do best...."Military Contract Work" for the same Ventrue that whiped your memories back home in New York.


But part of me says to stay tough and stick around. I've lived through worse shhhhi...stuff....before...life and limb stuff...I'm only getting my "status" threatened here in London...which if you asked me, I'd be happy to say means nothing to me. I honestly don't give 2 shits about it.

So, what is there to do around here?

"Huh." Margo exclaimed. "I didn't know we had a military." The Rose took him literally. Then Ares got into more familiar ground.

"Oh yes, status. I used to feel the same way as you, mostly. Trust me on that!" Margo smirked. The fact Ares was still watching his language around her was... very dear. Undeath was no excuse for vulgarity, after all! "But, while your trusting me, if you trust me, believe me. Status is everything. Without it you have no protection. Your a big tough guy, no doubt. But even you can't survive in our society without status. And those that wish to keep it that way, will go out of their way to point that out to you until you play the game. I know this first hand."

Margo added then, more quietly "Sometimes, we are talking about the whims of ancient beings that can have you destroyed with a gesture. I don't want anything to happen to you. Take it from a Toreador. Your status is like body armor. When you need it, you'll really wish you had it."

Ares listens quietly to her. He lets her words sink in...its going to take a long time to chage his mind on it, but water pouring on a rock eventually breaks through.

He looked at her, notingvher more somer mood and asked Did this Grand Harpy do something to you too? his eyes are the only tell that he has any emotions, other than a good aura reading. His eyes were expressive at time, though usually just conveyed his anger and hatred to the world...but not this time. This time he was just concerned, and it showed inhis eyes

Margo looked puzzled. "Wilke? No, I only met her once. Why would the Grande Harpy do anything to me? She only gets involved when... oh." Margo realized why he might have asked. "Look, just do what she asks. She is a Tremere, I would not mess with that. Besides, you'll have the whole city down on you with one word from her."

I don't know...just thinking about her makes me upset. She was very rude off the bat. I mean, rude to a stranger for now reason, and she is gonna sit up there on her high horse and give lessons on manners as a harpy. Shiooooot. She came to me making physical threats to George like if she was the dagawn Prince.

A Tremere you say? I would have pegged her as a Malk or a Ventrue. I avoided eye contact with her just in case she was...that and...ggggrrrrr...sorry Margo. I am trying not to think about it.

"A Malkavian Grande Harpy?" Margo giggled. "I can't imagine that. As it is, I don't like a Tremere as harpy. I see it as the right and role of the Toreador to hold that office. The fact that Wilke seems to rely on fear I think is all the evidence needed to show the role is better left to Roses."

Margo said "Yeah, not thinking about it is sometimes all I come up with. Listen, lets make sure we can stay in contact, huh? Since we are in the same city now and everything."

Margo jotted down her contact info on a scrap of paper from her sketchbook and drew a little rose on it.

I'd like that...It would be good to see you again.

He thought to himself that that could not have come out more awkwardly..."Geeeze, I sound like a creeper"

Margo stood up, and would give Ares a kiss on the cheek if he would receive it. "Lets be sure to do that. Being who we are is tough enough without being alone too. If I can help smooth things over with the Harpy, or whatever, let me know. I don't have a lot of status, or say in things, but you never know. I am a Rose after all, its what we do."

The little Toreador started putting herself back together, as if she was getting ready to leave.

Ares watched her go, the peck on the cheek cracking the outer shell he had built up over the years. That was the most human like contact he's had. The last time he touched another was in battle, this kiss on the cheek was something that remined him of a life long since forgotten and less long since stolen from him.

Between her and Ronnie, perhaps he might stay after all

[Sorry that took so long, I thought I had already replied :( but it didn't post.
