Thread #001 Autumnal Equinox EditionWelcome to /schreck/ where you can rp your VTM character! For all questions concerning the World of Darkness, please consult the WoDg and CoDg thread>>96590318Brief rules>We have no story teller, we are acephali>Threads are v20 based, although the night is long and full of whispers, lies, and half-truths. Decide your own canon but all will not believe you>all nicktuku will be diablerized on sight>all OOC discussion should be spoilered let me know if I should add anything to the op post yall. And welcome back to oldfags and newfags alike!
The most wonderful time of year is coming. Months of damn near eternal night in the great white north! You don't need to waste blood waking up every night if the night never ends! Although the frostbite does take its toll. Not like I NEED my toes and nose, right?
Neonate here. Do vampires celebrate Halloween or this counts like breaking the first tradition? Can I go around asking candy dressed like an actual vampire? Thanks beforehand!
>>96598161What is that, a communication tower for vampiric ants?
>>96598250man they get embraced more and more retarded by the year aren't they?
I know the truth here. I can see the threads. They cross but only at certain points. I see a Red line, a Blue line, a green line a fuzzy line a line that isn't even a line it's a squiggle, an ugly spiteful little squiggle. None of you can. But I can. I see the threads.
>>96598269Thin bloods smdh, the Elders were right....
>>96598285How did you know were-spiders were my weakness anon?
>>96598270I don't believe you're a mark. You must be a nossy LARPing or a ventrue catfishing. Call it.
>>96598285>Elders>RightLick that boot, maybe one night you'll get to wear it. Oh, wait, no. You'll just get drained dry when the elder needs thicker blood than what humans can give.
>>96598380It's MALK not Mark. Malkavian. Childe of Malkav. Clan of the Moon. Lunatic. Kook. Seer. Madman. Rats have better chats than this anomaly. Kings don't play at being jesters. Fools my clans may be, but not as blind as you. Arrogance is unbecoming when based on falsehoods. >>96598310I heard through the silk-vine that we're kissing cousins with the spiders. Siblings from the same seamstress.
>>96598404I know my place in the order of things, feel free to complain. Maybe if you cry about the unfairness of the world hard enough things will change for the better for you. Ha!
>>96598250Did your Sire not tell you? During October, every Kindred coming to Elysium MUST wear a cape, oil their hair and speak in riddlesAsk the MALK here to give you some
Opening this network up to every neonate and their sire was a fucking mistake.Especially the ones that think this place is somehow unhackable when the extent of their knowledge of internet infrastructure is ripping the copper wiring out of their ghoul's apartment.You fucks have NO IDEA how much of a pain in the ass it was to get a full sized alternative network up and running across the globe without the kine noticing.
>>96598623We greatly appreciate the nossies work to make this network, EVEN if they are the equivalent of a clan of Zucks harvesting our data and secrets.
>>96598676We're not getting anything from here you're not putting out there for the world to see. This ain't linkedin, buddy, you don't need schrecknet to get a job from your local prince.I'd tell you to lick my nasty undead ass, but I know some of your fucks are into that.
Brujahbros, what the FUCK are you doing? This has been one of the worst years for us.>Authoritarians and ventruekeks everywhere >Censoring free speech >Puritan retards trying to ban my porn magazines in which I jerk off to my hot torealadiesWhere are the riots? The fire? The revolution? This shit sucks ass. Not woman ass. But hairy donkey man ass filled with 2 days old crams of shit. You disappoint me rebels. YOU DISAPPOINT ME.
>>96598731I think they all went to Asia and overthrew the government of Nepal. Don’t yall have some form of thing to declare a clan wide movement or something?
>>96598741I was not informed of anything like that man...
To dream is first to close your eyes, imagine, and then to be there. I'm waiting for you. To dream, first you must close your eyes. Be a good little girl. I will wait for you. Imagine and then to be there to dream. I'm already there. Listen to me. To dream, imagine. I will wait for you. I'm already there. Stop waking to the false world. Enter the dream world. The old world is false and only a dream. The real dream world is always within you. I'm already there. Listen to me. The old world is a false world. They want you to be deceived into believing in it. I am not there. You are not really in the false world. We are really in the dream world within you. The false world is an asylum, an asylum for angels who went stark-raving mad.

>>96598161Isn't this basically a Quest?
Bonsoir, my fellow night creatures. I see the Nosferatu have finished whatever maintenance and/or upgrades they were performing and reopened the network. I hope these nights find you all in acceptable health.>>96598174I suppose you don't NEED them, but it must cause at least some inconvenience, non?>>96598250>Can I go around asking candy!! Maybe I can get some of that chocolate the Toreador make if I go to Elysium on Halloween! Surely they'll put some out for the theme... right?

>>96598606Oh fuck that's fucking awesome dude I already have my own costume ready based on pic-related. I was so tired of all this masquerade bullshiiiiiit. I can finally show my true self with this shit and can't wait for all the female kindred to react when they see a real Cainite man dressed properly, I'll be swimming in undead panties bro
Help, I keep having these nightmares in which I am trapped in caverns filled with horrifying fecal demons that want to rip my ass apart, or castles teeming with draconic golems and evil wizards who cast Testicular Torsion at me, all while a fucking PISSED angel with three glowing eyes flies above me and screams bloody murder in a language that sounds like hyper hebrew. Can anyone tell me how to make those dreams stop? I always have these awful headaches when I wake up, It's making my nights unlivable.Since the general is such a shitshow atm: Can someone please tell me if the Code of Samiel in V20DA is the old, lost version, or the bastardized version of the 13th century?
>>96601679I dress up like that every day and no one thinks I'm a vampire>[...]I tried all kinds of respectable disguises. I dressed up as a bishop. I read up all about bishops in our anarchist pamphlets, in Superstition the Vampire and Priests of Prey. I certainly understood from them that bishops are strange and terrible old men keeping a cruel secret from mankind. I was misinformed. When on my first appearing in episcopal gaiters in a drawing-room I cried out in a voice of thunder, 'Down! down! presumptuous human reason!' they found out in some way that I was not a bishop at all. I was nabbed at once. Then I made up as a millionaire; but I defended Capital with so much intelligence that a fool could see that I was quite poor. Then I tried being a major. [...]I threw myself into the major. I drew my sword and waved it constantly. I called out 'Blood!' abstractedly, like a man calling for wine. I often said, 'Let the weak perish; it is the Law.' Well, well, it seems majors don't do this. I was nabbed again. At last I went in despair to the President of the Central Anarchist Council, who is the greatest man in Europe.">I said to him, 'What disguise will hide me from the world? What can I find more respectable than bishops and majors?' He looked at me with his large but indecipherable face. 'You want a safe disguise, do you? You want a dress which will guarantee you harmless; a dress in which no one would ever look for a bomb?' I nodded. He suddenly lifted his lion's voice. 'Why, then, dress up as an anarchist, you fool!' he roared so that the room shook. 'Nobody will ever expect you to do anything dangerous then.
>>96602099@Kay-Teef Did you tick off any lunatic? Or worse, some necrolover? I heard about some awful stories when my sire talked with his business partners privately.Though I also had some bad days when I had to prove myself to him. Try to take it easy for a while, it might clear itself.If I read it right, it is a bastardized version of the code mixed with the christic path of Paradise (similar 10th level sin for example)
>>96602099Your name tells me you are clanless, though sometimes the curse shines through even when the blood is not. When did these nightmares start? I have a theory.
>>96602099Don't eat for an hour before sleeping, avoid beans and mushrooms in particular.
Do any of you have any experience with spirits? My mortal love wishes to bring me on a "ghost hunt" with his kine friends this coming month. I don't expect to see much beyond a old apartment but on the chance that I do. I am curious for those with experience with such things what should I expect with spirits?
>>96602518>hisThe spirits will sense a poofter and go away.
>>96600664Monsieur Chelys, how good to hear from you! Are you still tending to your farm?As for what I've been up to, a lot happened. To make a long story brief: the mystery of the Prince's disappearance was solved. The Prince and the Sheriff met final death (they were one and the same), the hunters have been dealt with, and there is a new Prince - a Gangrel of all things!>>96601679Be sure to put on your best faux Transylvanian accent for maximum effect. They'll absolutely love you for it.
>>96598161Oh it's back? About time.Hello again kindred. I have a moment of lucidity again to post.How are you this night? What had been happening? Seen any worms?
>>96598606Can confirm. I'll give plenty of riddles.Disclaimer, I don't understand what they all mean. The spider only spins, it doesn't explain.
>>96598731I blame the huntsmen. Rebels with every cause, do your thing. The Kines are getting ancy with their wireweb bread & circuses getting watched.
>>96602518Be careful with advice you receive here. Your string might not entangle with theirs. An abandoned house is probably all you will get. If it's a real ghost, expect anything from a bump in the night to watching your love be torn asunder by spectral hands.
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand walking the streets of SoHo in the rain. He was looking for a place called Le Ho Fook's. Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.
>>96604263I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic’s. His hair was perfect. >>96604084Did you meet a toreador and get your tra-la-la touched?>>96604075The farm runs well. I’ve been hanging about the border towns making a mess of things. Gotta say, the migrant situation makes finding meals and experiments far too easy these days. I must ask did you ever find out who sent that assassin after you?
>>96604397I did indeed. It was Sonny, after our chance encounter at the light house. Apparently she was only supposed to track and investigate me but got overzealous in her assignment, at least if the Assamite I spoke with during the Prince Reynes/Monsieur Graves incident is to be believed (which I don't).What sort of experiments are you performing? Are they related to your Koldunism studies, or have you started to practice your flesh crafting?>>96604084Bonsoir, Scion of Isis. It's nice to see another familiar name. Are you still involved with that Tzimisci mademoiselle?
Need a ghost job done. Anybody has previous experience working with Clara von Totenstein the a.k.a. the necromancer-gargoyle? I am not on Giovanni shitlist but I had some bad expereinces and now preffer to stay away from these creepy fucks.
>>96598161Drawing of our newest member Would you believe he's a camie Sombra?
>>96604397She tried to, but being my ex who got very possessive of me, the sheriff had to get involved. She got a sun tan for nearly breaching the masquerade chasing after me in a frenzy.>>96605495Mi Callíente? Oh She is doing wonderfully. We talk over the phone often, plan to visit her in the coming months. She made me a necklace out of the bones of some ghouled cartel vatos the Sword of Caine sent after her. They don't take kindly to independents it seems. By the way Mon amie, ive got 351632 reasons to be happy right now.
>>96598623Try injecting My Super Quaint Lessons on digital networks: don't cross the streams! You need to use the electricity instead of the kines wires. I'm certain you'll get what I mean.
>>96605814How much do you offer? I accept payments in money, sex or blood.
>>96598427Speak articulately around the blind. Sure we can see the dots and botches amidst the cracks but you don't need to spew silk like a spider. The rats did a hard job getting the threads respun & the walls of fire relit. Let's be good Tuna & not act like clownish. The other ones don't speak broken glass, and they have plenty of stake, doggies, houdinis & fake babies on their plates, it's the least we can do.
>>96606289He started it. And we do not always see the same things, brother. You say the rats are spinning the threads, but you don't catch my meaning. The threads aren't threads, not like that. Something isn't right. There's more at play than firewalls.
>>96606178We have, or had rather, a decent number of Lasombra antitribu here so I'm no longer surprised by it. That said, he looks like an... interesting fellow.>>96606209Most people struggle to find one or two reasons to be happy. So do tell! What has you in such good spirits this evening?
>>96606274>sexThanks for offer but this is one of the reasons I don’t deal with Venetians anymore.
>>96606964>That said, he looks like an... interesting fellow.Lasombra are with Goths or half flesh crafted with leather straps
>>96605495Bah, the jealousies and envies of our peers will be the death of many folk, kine and kindred alike. As for my experiments, all intentional ones have been in putting land spirits into people and seeing the effects of such. Sometimes it takes well, and sometimes people just explode in a shower of viscera. I must say I have awoken from weeks of slumber sometimes to find a lot more furniture around the house than I recall having. The craft of it is impeccable as well. Thankfully nothing with endless screams, I’ve ran out of favors with the local federales to deal with. So that bodes poorly. >>96606209Ah, I can imagine a dragon is a poor choice to piss off. Not quite as terrifying as being ACTUALLY dragged into hell by the lasombra, but certainly a fate worse than final death. >>96607799The dago menace is eternal my brother
I heard primogen andrew say that he can control demons when he was talking to some bimbo fledglingseeing (smelling) how much he uses cologne, I'm willing to believe it
>>96612600Sounds like infernalismBest not to get involved with him

>>96598174I-I thought we couldn't get frostbite?>>96602518I'm not allowed to talk about spirits but your venue probably isn't haunted by a spirit. You guys can't see them anyways unless one of you is some kind of sorcererCould be a ghost too
>>96612888WWLD-Wat would Lilith do?Seduce them and then teach them dark esoteric powers then sit back as they destroy themselves

>>96604263I thought lupines hated chinese food. Something about "tasting like worms". At least that's what I remember from the last time I had to spy on an intruding transient lupine pack. By Caine the dogs think they can disguise themselves by throwing on a hoodie, sunglasses, and baseball cap. The smell alone gives them away.
I found this weirdo in a lead-lined shipping container in torpor and made the mistake of waking him up, he claims to be master art thief for some French Toreador and keeps talking in weird flourishes and poses.What's the easiest way to put him back in the state he was shipped in?
>>96598676guess you could say they zuck up our data!
>>96602099have you by any chance picked up some object that has "rancid vibes" as the fledglings might say? I've been told that in some cases malignant spirits will inhabit an object and use this kind of torture to break you mentally so it can enslave you. only solution if that is the case is to destroy the item but beware that normal means may not suffice and the spirit will be fighting back the entire time.
>>96611014That sounds intriguing. Aside from an awful mess to clean up, what are the results like? What sort of changes have you witnessed in the vessels once they've merged with the spirits.Also, do you think your sire is controlling you during your periods of slumber mon cher?>>96613874Well, the most straightforward method is to get a few of your friends to restrain him while you drive a wooden stake through his heart. Or have them restrain him and then simply beat him until he stops moving - the resilience granted to us by our undead nature has limits after all.
>>96606347Spiders? Worms in the big apple? The dice are botched? Hammer my mirror, what do the shards say?>>96611014She specialises in bone. I remember her seperating someones skeleton and flesh. Gave me a reason to be half as crazy as i can be.>>96606964I take each night one at a time. My continued existence is never guaranteed, so ive learned to be grateful for each evening. Only real thing thats got me shaken was the whole formerly with us toreador Ex, and the moments of visions. They come and go.
>>96613874I concur with >>96614218Probably best to catch the thief by surprise, if possible, stake him, and put him back in the box before some Rose comes snooping around for their prized thiefAlthough it's not unlikely that the thief loving Torrie simply lost interest in their little toy and moved on to some other lick
>>96612767he's a creepy fuck anyway. I wouldn't approach him even if the prince told me to, always being touchy-feely every time someone has the misfortune to be near him. it's seriously repulsive. must be why there's always a malk around himhope he can go to hell for real and stay thereI swear, next time he tries to cope a feel, I don't care, I'll swipe his stupid bandana off his head and expose him as the BALDY HE IS
>>96614776Think of it like... lines on graph paper. Now imagine the graph paper is really, really big. You've got your lines right. Each is different. Draw them out, sometimes they cross each other. Some lines cross more often than others. Some never even touch others at all. Some only briefly touch before shooting off in entirely different directions. But they're all on the same graph paper. And when you look out at the bigger picture, the chart makes no sense. Something is wrong with the chart. All these lines, taken from different places, and smack thrown onto a chart. The chart shouldn't exist, at least not like this. It isn't how charts normally form right? It isn't normal?That's what's up. It's why the graph doesn't work out normally. It's not some rat scratches, it's weirder than that. I don't know what.
Holy shit it's back upWhat's up guys? If a girlgoyle sat on my face, would it kill me?

>>96619524For you>>96620916I swear if I do not live to destroy the clan tremere, it will be my final death attempting to do so. YOUR CRIMES AGAINST NOBLE BLOOD HAVE BEEN RECOREDED TO THE EONS. DEATH IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU. LIFE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR POLLUTION. CAINE’S BLOOD ILL SUITED FOR YOU. EVEN THE DAMNED WEREWOLVES ARE ABOVE THE LIKES OF YE! DAMNATION UPON YE ALL. MAY ALL OF YOUR ACCURSED DAMNED SOULS FALL TO THE DEPTHS OF HADES AND THE LANDS OF SHEOL.
>>96623010Nooooo! T'was fornication that led me to this wretched state. The Lord's punishment for my iniquitous lust for knowledge and carnal pleasure. Now I am cursed to vainly seek both forever and ever.Apropos of forbidden knowledge, have you encountered any manuscripts written in Enochian in your journeys? I've been searching for authentic Enochian texts for ages but I have only found one such genuine article which may be dated to right after the Great Deluge, perhaps a copy of an even older antediluvian manuscript.
Any reprehensible acts against people older than 300 years old I can be a part of? I totally hate the crusties, as in those with crusts, you know, hahaLong live the rotation!
>>96624666youre looking for old nigga dick arent youseen this before
>>96623729@Bruj-ritan Enochian? The Great Deluge? Aren't those fables?
Well I'm having a fucking night. Been going through hillbilly territory with the pack. Nice country, shame about the people. We were hanging out in an abandoned coal mining town for a few nights, fun stuff. I hear some unholy goddamn hurgling from one of the shafts. When I go to check it out, something fast nearly takes my head off. Fortunately, I'm faster. There's these freaky, emaciated, barely human looking things that come all but pouring out of the shaft. We fight em, I end two myself. But they dust one of the new meat, not even done with his creation rites. The remaining ones retreat. We're still discussing what to do next when we hear the noise again, much louder this time. We get the hell out of there, put a good 50 miles between us and that place. We end up racing the sun for shelter. Tonight sucks because while it seems like those things didn't follow us, the whole pack is having conniptions over what to do. Some wanna get the hell out of the state, others wanna go back and fight them properly, others want to find the nearest Sabbat domain and go to the bishop for backup. You guys got any idea what kind of things live in abandoned coal mines, don't die like Kindred, and are a bit too fast and strong to be some sort of hills have eyes freak clan?
>>96626508Sounds like a Tzimisce got into that mineshaft at some point in time.Or one of those freak Tremere who are basically the same thing (ugh fucking flesh monster makers)
>>96626035I believe them to be real, true events shrouded by aeons of obfuscation, misremembrance, and the forgetfulness of the ages. My understanding of it concides somewhat with the common Noddist account. However I theorize that the annihilation of the ancient Cainites was not the primary aim of the Flood but rather a peculiar species of man that had interbred with what I believe to be the fallen angels.
>>96626950Nah man I've seen shuhlockta (or however the hell you spell it) before. No Tzi would make them as boring/functional as that. As for a grayface... I dunno maybe? I've only ever seen one before, back in my time at Shovelhead U. Boiled the blood in the lick next to me's veins. You think they could really create a mineshaft worth of morlock looking fuckers? And if they could, why would they leave them there? I know it's hillbilly country but the Tremere are Camarilla. They take that Masquerade shit seriously, they wouldn't leave em out here for any ol' Cleet and Dale to find would they?The Priest is doing her usual woo-woo meditation stuff, we've taken a break from deliberation. I dunno what to do. I'm kinda curious honestly but for a vampire out in the middle of nowhere like here... discretion is the better part of valor.
>>96599911Yeah, it makes it a bit harder to balance, but if you just let your boots freeze over completely by soaking them, it is a bit easier.>>96600664I doubt I've been mistaken for anything except a frozen corpse or a very small polar bear, depending on if I've let my beast for got a ride lately.>>96612924Oh, I doubt you'll ever get cold enough for long enough to worry about it. I spend my nights so far north that night never ends for a couple months. If you aren't happy drinking beasts blood, don't try it.
A GOOD NIGHT TO YOUMY SERVANT GIORGIOS SHOWED ME HOW TO USE THIS DEVIL DEVICEDOES ANYONE KNOW THE STEPS OF THE RITE OF MOTHERS GARDEN AFTER THE INITIAL BURIAL?
>>96627860Are you a Bahari girl in a Bahari world?
>>96612933>What would Lilith do?Sex and then baby eating, if the stories are at all accurate
>>96623729I cannot say I've encountered anything resembling the texts you seek; most writings that I've studied have been Egyptian or Hindu in origin, with some Latin and Ancient Greek here and there, due to my particular areas of interest. The libraries in some of the founding temples in Egypt may have contained such texts, but I wasn't looking for them. However, I recall Monsieur Chelys mentioning in a previous conversation that he can read Enochian - I assume he learned it from either his sire or his Koldun mentor - so he may have something of interest to you in his possession. I apologize that I can't be of help in your search.I need to step away for a bit. Some errands to run and my most promising student needs his monthly taste of vitae after tonight's lesson.
>>96627860Dude Google the Nintendo Wii, you're gonna shit.
>>96629282A pity. Thank you. Fellow scholars scarcely grace these modern nights>>96611014Mr. Chelys, it is my understanding that you are a Dragon in possession of much esoterica. Would you happen to have any true Enochian manuscripts that you would be willing to part with? In exchange for a suitable boon of course.
>>96628314AYE, INDEED I HOLD FAST MY FAITH IN OUR DARK MOTHER, PRAISE BE HER SHADOWED NAME. ALAS, I WAS DRIVEN FROM THE SACRED GARDEN, AND IN MY HASTE I WAS FORCED TO ABANDON CERTAIN PAPYRI TO THE WIND.

SIRI SPIRIT STOP
Oh hey, anyone have anything decent going on for Halloween. Thought I would get out for a change.
>>96630531Me and my friends were gonna explore an abandoned building and look for proof of the existence of vampires!
>>96630779You guys need a cameraman or something?
>>96630792Yeah, we don't have a real camera, we just us our cellphones but the pics look like shit.
>>96630531AH NOW, SO WE’RE SHARIN’ OUR NIGHT TALES, ARE WE? WELL THEN, I’LL TELL YE OF A FINE ONE I HAD WITH ANTJE. TRUTH BE TOLD, SHE VEXES ME AT TIMES. ALWAYS SLOW AND CAREFUL WHEN I’D RATHER LEAP, BUT THIS NIGHT SHE MADE IT WORTH ME WHILE. SHE GOT US INTO A SECRET DEN O’ WICKEDNESS FEW EVER SEE.I WORE A SUIT BLACK AS A CROW’S WING, CLINGY AND STRANGE ON THE SKIN, BUT IT KEPT ME HIDDEN WELL. THE KINE BARELY NOTICED ME. AND BY THE SAINTS, WHAT A PLACE! ALL MANNER OF FORBIDDEN PLEASURES LAID BARE, AND NO LAW OF MAN TO BE FOUND.ANTJE, GENEROUS SOUL, FOUND ME A CURIOUS COMPANION FOR THE NIGHT. A BRITISH LAD, HOW I LIKE THEM, STRONG AS A BULL. A SCHOLAR WATCHED ON, TREMBLING AND WIDE-EYED, STRETCHIN’ THE HOURS SWEET AND LONG WITH HIS SYRINGE. IT COST HER A FORTUNE — A HUNDRED THOUSAND OF THEIR NEW EURO SHILLINGS, AND I’M GRATEFUL FOR IT. THE ORIENTALS WERE OFFERED FOR CHEAP BUT THEY PERISH MUCH QUICKER.

primogen work is easy i dont do shit
Back in LA for the first time since the wall came down. What the fuck happened?No smog, clean streets, most of the clubs and cool fucking stores close at midnight. Even the gangs ain't killin each other the way they used to.Anarchs also got cucked by chinese corpse-riders? What the fuck happened to you guys? You used to be fun.
Oh good. We're back.Doubt any of you will remember me. Maybe it's for the best. Was looking for advice to get out of town and what it takes to set up in a new city.I was in a bit of a bad spot. I was sired illegally. But the prince was "merciful" enough to let me be the sheriff's problem. He was a real son of a bitch who ran me ragged for what feels like fucking years.I'm not gonna say life's great under the anarchs. But fuck me is it better than the shit I was doing before.
>>96631811AH, POOR FLEDGLIN’, YE’VE ONLY SWAPPED ONE YOKE FOR ANOTHER, SO YE HAVE. THE TRUTH IS PLAIN: THE ANARCHS ARE NO BETTER THAN THE CAMARILLA, KEEPIN’ YE JUST AS BLIND TO THE SOLE ROAD THAT GRANTS OUR KIND TRUE FREEDOM: THE DARK AND SACRED PATH OF THE SABBAT.SIRI SPIRIT STOP.

>>96614084>seinfeldtheme.mp3>bazinga>>96614218Some people end up in a symbiosis with the spirit I place in them. Some generate abilities like early koldun powers based on the spirit. Some just turn into ents or trees like a dryad. And others just go kabloom. Usually the more temperamental air and most fire spirits tend to do such. As for the random vicissitudes, well my sire claims it wasn’t him. He’s a lot of things, liar wasn’t one of them though. Perhaps the forbidden fruit of it activate my psyche when unconscious? >>96614776The obvious jokes write themselves brain. Also, wonder how long that person lived without a skeleton. Think it was a few seconds or minutes?>>96623729As cara mia Bleu said I am a scholar of koldunism. Most spirits converse either in ancient tongues of their homelands or enochian. I’m not a collector of it, but I have some papyrus with a heiroglyphic translation I acquired from a settite den I visited to get a beer recipe. A decent part of it is about the beer actually! Civilizations really were built on grains and grain products! There’s also this one scroll that I can’t make heads or tails of. It’s like it attacks my brain and the spirits in my house all start screaming in chorus when I unrolled it. You’d probably want that one.>>96631811I think I recall you. Nosferatu right? Also what’s with all this lillith talk? We do realize that character was made up by rabbis to justify why there is ALLEGEDLY a second creation in the book of Genesis. Instead of just realizing the first was the general gist, and the second gave the details.

Well, it's decided. Sword of Caine don't run. We're going back. Grabbed a couple of hikers for emergency blood-ups, and we've got all our weapons. We're going to go in right after nightfall to give us as much time to clear it or retreat if things go bad. I'm sure my brujah ass is gonna do a lot of the heavy lifting. Gotta admit I'm a little curious as to what those things are. Wish us luck, Cainites.

>>96633691how did you post this without a computer?
>>96633819That sounds like quite the scroll! What sort of payment would you require, if you don't mind me taking it off your hands?Coincidentally, my own manuscript is a funerary manual which contains, among other things, a recipe for a type of "cheese cake" meant to be eaten or offered up to the dead or a sort of psychopomp entity as provisions for their journey into the afterlife. I have been informed by mortal associates, who have sampled my attempts at recreating the cake, that it is quite good.>>96634310According to my research, these hybrids of angel and man were giants of immense physical and magical power. I theorize that the magicians we often refer to as "True Mages" may be descendants of these titanic figures which begs the question: Were more Nephilim created after the flood? If so, by what means and by whom?>>96634481Godspeed. The destruction of, presumably, infernal beings is noble mission
Hello, going to shamelessly beg for info because I have nothing of value to offer to the one information trader I vaguely know.So I am kind of new, I got turned (Embraced I guess Is the word? My mistress is really into flowery wording so I am not sure what is actual real words and what is Her Simply Being So And So Darling You Should Get It Already Gosh) about six months ago. My mistress has very little interest in teaching me much, or even doing much of anything with her time besides lounging about, enjoying the look of me and the others, and pretending to be an art professor to catch more of us. So far my whole unlife thus far has been mostly trying to get nightly gigs to pay rent, trying to actually get my degree while on a sort of staggered study plan, since I can't really ever come to campus at daytime, obviously, and fetching weird shit for my mistress whenever she tells me, which is a few times a month, usually. I've done my best to actively avoid ever interacting with anything spooky if I could help it, because I really don't think I'm cut out for any of this. But at this point I am not sure avoiding the spooky shit will work long-term. One of the last items I got was this weird sealed clay jar. Yes, it was the size that could fit a pony figure, no, I do not know if it has a pony figure inside. I had to keep it in my house for a few days, and I noticed that wherever I placed it, it'd leave an imprint, and shadows cast on that imprint were a different shade of black. I threw out the coffee table that had the first imprints, but I sometimes find new imprints, like somebody's putting the jar on things in my house. The jar is long-gone, obviously.So, the question is, am I going to just get stronger on my own? Do I have to fight people to get stronger? Or drink people, or something? Do rituals to Satan or whoever? My mistress is kind of old and did some insane shit casually, but I really can't do much at all. How do I go from where I am to where she is?
>>96636838>Another fucking fledgling whose sire didn't teach them shit, despite being an elder who should know better.God fucking dammit, this is what the fourth tradition is for. Okay. So here's the QRD because I can't be fucked to hold your hand through everything. I miss Blue, she would take care of strays like you and spare the rest of us from it. >You get "stronger" the same way you did in life. Do shit. Hone a skill. Your brain isn't half as "fixed" as people say it is. Even though you can't train your muscles, The Blood wants you to get stronger, so you can still get stronger, faster, tougher. >You have three vampire powers you have an inherent talent for that you can learn intuitively, these are based on your lineage. All the others you need someone to teach you.>Other vampires do not have your best interest at heart, I'm only helping you because I don't want your dumb ass to violate the Masquerade and get us all killed.>Related to the above point, if anyone tries to get you to join something called "The Sabbat" or "Sword of Caine", shut that shit down. They're a death cult obsessed with the apocalypse and will force you to kill innocents until you think like they do. >You probably have never even heard of The Prince. Think of them as the local, city level magistrate of vampires. Your ass is supposed to have been shown to them. >If you ever want to kill your sire, do something really stupid in public. 50/50% chance she dies, 50/50% chance you die. Depends on if the Prince owes her a favor and if he/she thinks you'd be useful to him/her as a minion.
>>96637010If it helps, she did explain some things, like 'don't sell your blood to people for petty cash you fucking imbecile'. Mostly because she told me normal people can get really, really high off of the stuff and I figured it's a way to, at least, not have to work much. So I'm not entirely inept, just mostly and nigh-completely.>You get "stronger" the same way you did in life. Do shit. Hone a skill. So I should take up running unnaturally fast as an evening hobby, and then maybe I'll also be able to just fucking vanish like her. Incredible. I don't know how that works, but at this point confusion is more or less my natural state, so, thanks, I suppose.>Related to the above point, if anyone tries to get you to join something called "The Sabbat" or "Sword of Caine", shut that shit down. They're a death cult obsessed with the apocalypse and will force you to kill innocents until you think like they do.That sounds retarded. Not the warning, the idea of an apocalyptic death cult forming out of people who are already dead. Or them looking at me like I am a prime pick for their cult. What'd even make them want me?>You probably have never even heard of The Prince. >Your ass is supposed to have been shown to them.This one is a bit fucky. I think he visited, but me and others didn't get to see him. The mistress and him argued a bunch about her vampire-making habits, among other things, with his position being 'you are acting recklessly, and your non-interference with local affairs just means you don't know how much you might mess up things' and her position being 'you're being a busybody, go away, I could demolish you and instead am having a good time, harming nobody'. Didn't get to see him, and I'm not going to guess who he is outside of work hours, but I'd guess he's seen me by proxy, at this point.Any clue if the jar of evil shadows gave me shadow cancer or something?
>>96636838The formal term for your mistress is your Sire. You should ask her when she intends to present you to the local Prince or Baron or BishopYou should probably move out of your house as soon as possible. In general, try to stay away from creepy shit. How have you been feeding yourself all this time?
>>96636838Don't listen to >>96637010. the Sabbat seeks only to liberate all Kindred (that includes you) from the tyranny of corrupt elders who seek to enslave their childer and to destroy all vampires who engage in devil worship, which our kind calls Infernalism
>>96637509>The formal term for your mistress is your SireShe's a woman though. I get that it's probably traditional, but it still feels kind of weird. And I think she seems to like hearing 'mistress', however utterly inscrutable she may be in most ways.>you should probably move out of your house as soon as possibleWhy? >How have you been feeding yourself all this time?Oh, alt girls at local clubs and stuff. They're freaky and relatively easy. Plus my sole redeeming quality and the only way I really got anywhere in life are my looks, they're why my mistress grabbed me in the first place. Managing constant one-night stands is, if anything, easier now that drinking booze does nothing for me. They just don't really feel as fun anymore, it's a neverending game of playing half-naked, drunk, asleep goth woman logistics. Like a third of the time I have to ditch my house and head to my mistress's place for the day, just because I can't really throw out a girl I got with, and she's way too asleep to get up on her own, and she'd naturally freak out if she sees me catatonic in the morning. >>96637567I don't feel that tyranned over, though. Or a desire to worship any devils. >inb4 you merely don't recognize your bindingsI am sure I was chained to having to fucking breathe air when I was alive, but it'd be dumb to call it being tyrannized with the reign of corrupt molecules of oxgen.
>>96634351Remember anon, when you fuck one malkavian, you're fucking all of them
>>96636838AH, SO YE WERE EMBRACED BY THAT SORRY LOT THEY CALL THE TOREADOR, WERE YE? THEN YE’RE DOOMED, POOR WRETCH! A LILY-LIVERED, SILK-SNIFFIN’, MIRROR-KISSIN’ DANDY MORE CONCERNED WITH CURTAINS THAN CONQUEST. A WOULD-BE ARISTOCRAT WITH THE SPINE OF A BOILED EEL AND THE SOUL OF A THEATRE PROP. I’D STRONGLY SUGGEST YE TAKE A BRISK STROLL INTO THE DAWN AND SPARE THE REST OF US YER SIGHS, TANTRUMS, AND TORTURED POETRY BEFORE WE ALL DIE OF SECOND-HAND VANITY.
>>96637567AYE, THIS IS TRUE. IF THERE IS TO BE ANY REDEMPTION FOR YE, THEN PICK UP THE SWORD OF CAINE.
>>96638357Real rich coming from a Lilith Worshipper. Your dark lady wishes she was as effortlessly graceful and likeable as Ishtar!
>>96638378Nobody told me Elaine May was a vampire, but now that I think about it, it makes more sense than her being human.
She’s got it comin’, same as the rest of those ancient traitors, that rotten brood from before the Flood itself. A single scratch ’pon her painted face would likely send her screamin’ to final death. As the brood-mother of the Toreador, she’s sure to be the vainest peacock of the whole preenin’ flock.Giorgios told me I’ve no need to be roarin’ at the devil device, if I speak to it plain and steady, it’ll make me sound the more polite. Cursed contraption, twistin’ my words to rudeness… though I’m beginnin’ to see why the kine are so fond of the things. In my fledglin’ nights I wasn’t even trusted to send a letter, and all our dealings were held in the deep woods by moonlight.
>>96637895Mon cher, the reason you don't feel tyrannized is because you are most likely under the thrall of a blood bond to your Sire - an unnaturally induced feeling of loyalty, affection and/or infatuation. You yourself have stated that your Sire treats you as her errand boy and an object to ogle while she does not even provide you with the most basic instruction in the realities of your new unlife; to the point that you sought advice from complete strangers. There is a very likely chance that your Sire will soon grow bored of you and cast you aside without a second thought, and I am doubtful that the Prince will treat you kindly when you no longer have the protection of your Sire.Do not be so quick to latch on to the advice of the first Kindred that responded to you. Keep all options open, ask questions, and draw your own conclusions.
Greetings to you all.I have come seeking information. Not for naught, those that can provide me with meaningful leads will be lavishly rewarded. For you see, I am in search of someone who allegedly came through this domain. If there are records from before that haven't been expunged, access them I cannot. My Leper is most unhelpful in this regard. To further elaborate, I pursue a European Tzimisce Neonate, supposedly of a fairly low generation. He was last seen in western Germany with a woman of the same clan. The neonate is a danger to himself and those around him, thus it is imperative that he is found.As stated before, any information regarding the young one is highly valuable to me personally and I am more than happy to properly compensate. Sincerely,Maus
@Bruj-ritan >>96636565 Aren't those kind of studies dangerous? You mentionned the mages, and I've only heard frightening tales about them and their powers. It also seemed to irritate my Sire a bit, as I was told to "keep to your accounting books. Superstitions like these will poison your mind and delay your rise to greatness". @Anonymous >>96637451 How many "siblings" do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
>>96639541Foolish boy, have ye not yet learned that we are the true masters of death, wieldin’ magicks far beyond the grasp of mortal men? Trouble not yer mind with the petty burdens of the living world, for ye no longer belong to God’s flock. Eternity’s been laid at yer feet! Use it to seek wisdom over the thing ye now are: death itself. ’Tis a most useful art, I assure ye.Why, as we speak, my haven stands guarded by no fewer than seven restless spirits, and upon my shoulders I wear a cloak of corpse-skin that whispers warnings of peril before it comes. My Giorgios, bless him, needn’t sweep a chamber nor scrub a floor, I’ve bound an undead servant to that toil. And when the thirst for thrill grips me, I let the shades of old warlords and merry-makers ride my flesh and steer my soul. Accounting? Ha! Leave such trivialities to the kine.>>96638814Oh aye, I believe I crossed paths with those two no more than a pair o’ moons past, in the city of Amsterdam itself. A fine commotion they stirred, they did, down in the Street of Whores and the Street of Blood. There’s a darkness slumberin’ beneath that place, sure as sin, and they offered it sacrifice. The sheriff was fit to burst with rage over it or so the whispers tell.
>>96634864Ma’am old people go senile. Even us kindred. Perhaps it’d be best if you quit sundowning (moondowning?) and have your giorgios get some nice O negative for you, perhaps take you to an opera as well?? Also, I’m rather certain I’m not a Dionysian, I have strained relations with the Church, but still an allowed member>>96636565Eh, fissile material or koldunic works of you have any. Trying to see if there’s some “spirit of the atom” I can press to my will. I can only kill SO many men in black before they send a terminator after me. AGAIN. >>96637895Nah, the spirit of wind has an agreement with PNEUMOS to grant life via breathing. It’s not tyrannical, more a mutual contract. >>96638814Mein Kindred, Ich kann mein Blut nicht verraten. May you have good reasons for your hunt.
>>96637451>thanks, I suppose.No problem, kid. >What'd even make them want me?Cannon fodder. That's what they're all about. The throw waves of disposable fledglings at their enemies. They grab anyone they can, the homeless, nighttime joggers. One time I heard a group of them went into a micky-d's at 3AM and did the whole restaurant. Oh, and don't trust the bitch with the french name. She's a Setite. They worship snakes and think getting enough people addicted to smack will break reality. You seen Conan the Barbarian? Thulsa Doom shit, don't trust em. >Any clue if the jar of evil shadows gave me shadow cancer or something?Sadly, no. Not my forte. I am but a humble sewer rat. Sounds like your sire and the Prince don't get along. Keep your head down, learn what you can. Focus on getting stronger. Take everything with a grain of salt, and remember the old saying "If it's too good to be true". Anyone promising you paradise is going to send you to hell. You are your best asset right now. Use that head of yours. Good luck.
>>96634864Uhh, thanks. Not a sister though. Figure you're one of them Lilith worshippers? Well, it's still appreciated. Funny how fuckin' inept the Sabbat Inquisition is. >>96636565Not so sure the devil was involved here. Boy do I have a story for you all.I'll spare you all a blow by blow. My prose is insufficient to convey precisely what transpired. Plus, I frenzied at one point. Nursing the injuries on trail blood. Seems the old mine suffered a cave in back in the late 1800s. It was running dry anyway, so no rescue operation was honestly bothered. Problem was, there were still miners down there. Something down there changed them. Priest said some stuff about strange spirits, but she's otherwise at a loss. Bastards can scramble out of ventilation shafts and smaller, natural exits. We must've killed two dozen of them. Can't be many more left, but in addition to the new blood they dusted last time, they put our other heavy hitter, a country Gangrel into torpor. I'm badly injured and so is our Nossie. We bled the hikers dry but not all our wounds are knitted up. Oh, and the final member of our pack, a Malk, swear he saw a wolf when we left. Now Malks see shit all the time but when you're as banged up as we are, no taking chances when it comes to wolves. We're heading to the nearest friendly domain. I'm sure some podunk bishop is gonna milk us for a favor, but fuck it, we need a free port. If they're not wiped out after what we did, they're all but on their last legs. If I ever come back I'll blow the whole goddamn mountain up to be sure.
>>96640087Your words wounds me, Monsieur. And here I thought we could be friends. Truly, I simply do not know how I shall cope.
>>96640522Seriously, settites throw the best parties. Toreadors a distant second. Too pretentious.
>>96639998Senile, is it? Not a chance! I’m spry as a spring chicken yet. And I’ve never had a taste for opera, that dull prancin’ shite the nobles favoured when they came to steal our land. I’d sooner be fiddlin’ along to Dearg Doom than sittin’ through their pomp and puffery, unlike you, ye book-sniffin’, candle-huffin’ hedge-wizard, with more dust than sense rattlin’ about in that malleable skull of yours.>>96640209Meself and the nearest bishops have an understandin’ of sorts, I’m free to offer worship to the Dark Mother, so long as I don’t shout her name from the rooftops and keep clogging the Tower’s gears with its own blood. Mind ye, I keep one eye ever watchful on them all the same. The last Inquisitor with enough zeal to hunt me proper went home crawling with maggots and haunted by the ghosts of the Great War. I’m glad ye weathered yer own trials and still stand with us, brother.
>>96639541Indeed they are Mr Stuart! Inquiries into preternatural phenomena are not without a degree of risk to the inquirer. I would advise against such studies until you've recieved sufficient preparation from your sire or some other person already initiated in the esoteric world. Uninformed experimentation with these things can be catastrophic. I've amassed a tidy trove of boons cleaning up the aftermath of would-be sorcerers.If I may be so bold as to ask, what clan do you and your sire belong to and how long ago were you embraced.As for mages, it would do you good to give them a wide berth. The booty gained from killing a mage is rarely worth the blood and sweat spent in the endeavor. Some cainites hunt mages for sport but the reverse is true as well.>>96639998I will see what I can do. A Terminator eh? Is that some sort creature imbued with a Spirit? I've had good fortune with shooting them with high calibre firearms where fisticuffs would be imprudent.>>96640209A group of monstrous miners and a possible lupine sighting—it is said that in places of extreme pollution such as old mineshafts and toxic dumping grounds, vile noxious spirits can manifest and even possess the local population. Lupines are oft sighted in battle with such entities. Did these miners bear the marks of a lupine attack? It would be strange for the wolves to leave them unmolested.
A poofter just called my master a cuck. Normally I would kill him for offending my master, BUT I know that my master is, in fact, a cuck (everyone knows that). Therefore by killing the poofter I would admit that being cuckold is something bad and thus my master is bad, which I'm not allowed to do.What shoud I do?
>>96642776Kill yer master and the poofter
A poofter just called me a cuck and my gargoyle ignored it to post on schreckchan instead.What should I do?
>>96641477Right. Well for what it's worth I've only heard bad things about the Sabbat Inquisition. I know for a fact we're chock-full of infernalists despite having a gestapo designed to stop that. And clearly there's you openly worshipping Lilith. Trying to enforce an orthodoxy on the Sabbat seems like a waste of time and energy, but we do seem to like those. >>96641722Now I wouldn't consider my pack to be full of weaklings. But if we smoked two dozen of them when prepared, I doubt they'd be there if they'd fought werewolves. Didn't see any giant claw or bite marks neither. You'd assume a Nomad like me would have a bunch of werewolf stories but no. Only ever had two encounters, and only one got too close. My gangrel pal says they're a dying race, on account of their tendency to pick a fight with everyone and everything, including themselves. Even out in the sticks of the sticks, it takes some looking to run into them and what idiot looks for lupines?Anyway, we reached a safe port. Not gonna say where, in case it wasn't obvious I'm not naming names for safety's sake. Bishop's a creepy fuck. We're not in as deep of hillbilly country right now, but the Bishop is one of those Tzimisce that like to hang out in a decrepit manor in the middle of nowhere and indulge their perversions. Do not like the idea of owing him one.
>>96643440Kill yer gargoyle and the poofter
>>96638800>under thrall of a blood bondI don't feel very thrally, if that means anything. She's just a hot older woman with more to offer than the regular sort of hot older woman. I'm not a fan of being told practically nothing while being sent to fetch shit that may or may not be giving me shadow cancer, or doing other dumb, dangerous errands like that, but it's still an okay deal. Immortality's kind of a good thing. This way I don't have to worry about ever losing what gives me any sort of value, at least. I don't get much beyond the whole immortality package, sure, but I don't really give much, so it's fair, sort of?>There is a very likely chance that your Sire will soon grow bored of you and cast you aside without a second thoughtYeah, I know how being superficial arm-candy tends to go. I'm fine with it, I'm not under some delusion that she's deeply and innocently in love with me, and I'm not that with her. And I'm vaguely guessing her 'soon' is 'a few decades on the low end', which is kind of a lot. It's not great, but I can live with it, you know? Or unlive? Whatever the fuck. And if it'll be sooner than a few decades, I guess I'll have to figure out something.>draw your own conclusions.If I do that I might walk away from this convinced that I am obligated to worship Satan since all the cool vamps saying weird shit do it. Using my own head sounds risky.Really though, what's with the snake thing? Offer me your side of the snake thing story, the guy with the dated Conan reference has something going for his side.>>96639541Switching to using an actual screen name because I guess I am getting all my So You're Dead And Cigarettes Spook You 101 info from here, might as well.>How many "siblings" do you have, if you don't mind me asking?I honestly have no clue. A lot are out of town, either doing stuff or just off, doing their thing, apparently. My Sire (this is so gay) doesn't really mention ones who aren't around that much. I personally met six.>cont'd
>>96643726I won't go into too much detail unless somebody cares, that seems like oversharing. But of that six, four are like me, picked because we're appealing. The other two look like her a lot, and while I don't really know for sure, I think she might've made them into vamps in part to get to use their civillian identities. I guess it's hard to pretend to be the same art professor for more than like twenty-five years without people asking why you do not age. I had to do some jobs with them, so while we don't really hang too close, I got to chat a few up. They mostly don't seem too interested in me, which I guess means I'm not special and there's a bunch of us. Or I am just boring, which is fair.No clue how old any of them are. It's kind of fucked up, hearing a five-foot-two-inches, nineteen-looking goblin wearing literally every shitty emo fashion piece item I've seen, down to mismatched fishnet gloves and whatever those dumb little star stickers are called, tell me she had some intense fucking opinions on Dreyfus back in the day. I told her I don't know who or what a Dreyfus was, so she spent fifteen minutes autistically detailing 120-year-old political drama she picked up from the newspapers and gossiped about with her cohort of exactly as psychotic teenage socialite women. I'm at this point just praying only she got made into a vamp and the others died of old age, because I don't think I can handle more than one of her.From what she and my Sire said, I'd guess I have like fifteen 'siblings' total? Maybe more? It's a really vague guess. She's really old, and she implied a bunch that she kept herself sane by playing at being human a lot. Given how she is about pretty things, so I'd guess the real number has to be way more, but I don't get the logistics of it, if that's the case. >>96640087>They grab anyone they can, the homeless, nighttime joggers. One time I heard a group of them went into a micky-d's at 3AM and did the whole restaurant.What the fuck.
>>96643894Can confirm. Graduate of Shovelhead U, Magna Cum Laude. Not quite valedictorian though, sorry to say.I was a moderately athletic college student that got lured into a mass embrace under the false promise of pussy. To be alive again. Might've been under a charm looking back at it. Turns out the "shovel party" was a lot more literal than the girl in my Russian Lit class said it was. She was a ghoul of the guy organizing it. They hit me over the head with a shovel, which by the way doesn't knock you out quite like it does in the movies, and then I was drained dry, embraced, and thrown into a shallow grave. They made me dig myself out. The worst part was sputtering like an idiot in front of the big vampires, because we don't breathe automatically anymore. I was so heated someone had to point it out to me. They kept me real hungry for a few nights, always on the edge of frenzy. Then I and about... thirty other sad sacks were sent at the Camarilla's big boys as the vanguard. Of my mass embrace, I was one of two that survived the year. I got to become "True Sabbat" after I presented the severed head of some unfortunate Camarilla neonate to the Bishop. Most Sabbat these nights got the same start I did, but some nepo-babies (that's what the mortals are saying now, right?) get made True Sabbat immediately. I despise them on general principle. The trick is to find a Nomad Pack. It's more dangerous than being a city pack, but immensely worth it. City packs have to kowtow to elders. Nomads come and go as they please, I have never had to drink the bath blood and I never will. When I found a group of nomads that'd take me, I made sure to kill the bitch who tricked me into the mass embrace on my way out. She was just a mortal after all. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the Sabbat you have without the used car salesman routine most of my sectmates like to put on for even slightly overworked enemy licks. Oh, and seconding the "never trust Setites" thing.
Tremere cuckold (the one known as the Chicago Cuck, you know which one) tried to argue with me so I just said>lmao whatever you say cuckand instead of replying both he and his loyal gargoyle went on their phones and started typing.Are they calling in reinforcements? Should I be worried?

>>96640530Merci!>>96643726>Really though, what's with the snake thing? Offer me your side of the snake thing storySince you have asked, I will tell you. As has been stated, I am a Setite - that is to say, I am a sixth generation descendant of Sutehk, whom you probably know as Set, the Egyptian warrior-god, Lord of Storms, Lord of All-Outside-of-Egypt, Enemy of Apep the Serpent of Chaos, Grandson of Ra, among a host of many other titles. I do not, in fact, worship snakes, nor do I worship Set himself, divine though he may be. My belief is thusly: Ra has created this world as a prison to distract your soul from achieving its true potential, a divine form that can rival the creator himself in power. Magnanimous Set has bestowed upon us His teachings that will allow us to break free of the divine chains that jealous Ra has placed on our soul. Many of these chains are self imposed: lies that we tell ourselves, habits that we form, desires that we have, all of which tie us to this worldly prison. We Followers of Set aim to teach others to shed these illusions, and so set them on the path to achieving their true divine form.I don't expect you to believe me, of course. The lessons of Set cannot be imparted through mere proselytizing: they require a more intimate experience. Draw whatever conclusions you wish from my answers, but I implore you to draw your own.
>>96639718My gratitude is yours. Should you ever find yourself along the banks of the Rhine, my halls are open to you. I have not played host to a Bahari before and I must say that the idea is rather tantalizing. Speaking from a strictly scholarly interest of course.As for your reward, I’m certain we can come to an agreement after I’ve verified the validity of the intelligence you’ve provided. It’s a shame he seems to be taking after his sister so much, she always was quite the little firebrand.

@Maeve >>96639718 I do need money to ensure my current lifestyle (and rise even higher), and I don't trust my blood enough to keep thralls from stealing my savings.I don't know if I should blame or praise my Sire for that lesson.@delegationalDegenerates >>96643726 Damn, that's a lot. When I think about all the hoops my grandSire and Sire had to go through... She must be something else.Your Prince does sound like a pushover, though. It's not good for a domain's stability
>>96644264>I'd be happy to answer any questions about the Sabbat you have without the used car salesman routine most of my sectmates like to put on for even slightly overworked enemy licks.Sure, why not. Make your pitch for the Sabbat, I guess. I'm not really actively looking to join any doomsday murder-cults, but if you're as prolific as you supposedly are, I'll run into some of your guys eventually, might as well know what I am dealing with. And if joining's anyhow worthwhile.>Oh, and seconding the "never trust Setites" thing.That's two unendorsements for the Setites. Just need a third from literal Satan worshippers or something.>>96646526>a sixth generation descendant of Sutehk, whom you probably know as Set, the Egyptian warrior-god, Lord of Storms, Lord of All-Outside-of-Egypt, Enemy of Apep the Serpent of Chaos, Grandson of Ra, among a host of many other titles.Sixth generation as in there's six generations between you and literally Set? How does that work? The generations specifically, not the Set part, even though that's also kind of confusing. I've heard one of my 'siblings' talk about generations and shit, mostly to gripe about having the Prince, and my Sire like twice said something about being the granddaughter of Aphrodite or some shit, and how lucky I am to behold divinity, but I figured she was being more metaphorical than literal.>We Followers of Set aim to teach others to shed these illusions, and so set them on the path to achieving their true divine form.And did anybody actually manage to shed these illusions and get anywhere near creator-y?>I don't expect you to believe me, of courseI am in the condition to believe whatever, honestly, but this seems more esoteric and dharmic and whatever than what I am into, usually. Not that bad, all in all. But I guess all the stuff that scares off other vampires is things you don't regularly mention to strangers on the Internet.
@Bruj-ritan >>96641722 I Changed thirty... or was it thirty-five? Years or so ago. My firsts years were brutal so I have a hard time remembering them. I did receive some Blue Blood in compensation though, so I won't say I drew the short end of the stick. Is "asking around in Elysium" part of those "Uninformed experimentations"? I was at a popular gathering tonight, and "by chance", my fellow neonates started talking about strange rumors and other occulty things (I took the opportunity to ask them about this place, few seemed to care or even know it was back on). One ancilla degenerate even chimed in, saying she had contacts with some unknown sect. It was a pleasant evening, though I did not learn much, and what I did learn was probably some superficial stuff.Here's the problem: at some point, I caught one elder I'm not acquainted with staring at me. Multiple times in fact. I'm normally skillful enough to conceal my subterfuge and he was also pretty far...Am I paranoid? Am I screwed?
@John Stuart >>96648396 So fifteen is a lot? Really? Huh. I figured (or hoped) particularly strong and important vampires must have dozens or hundreds of lesser vamps to order around. Mostly because my Sire spends her nights pretending to be an art professor and complaining about being bored, and didn't strike me as anyhow important, in the greater scheme of things. But I guess this means she's, actually, of some importance, so by proxy I am in the splash zone of whatever politics she gets up to.That's really worrying and gives me great anxiety, thanks!>Your Prince does sound like a pushover, though.Well, my 'siblings' think he is a bitch, if that helps. My Sire doesn't entirely ignore what he says, though. The siblings specifically really don't like having to deal with him or his rulings whatsoever, but we do it, for some reason. Shit sucks. A while back we had to spend a night camped in a motel, waiting for a courier to show up with something that'd need three people to handle properly, only to get called off because apparently the Prince at the last minute intervened and said he doesn't approve the transit of whatever it was through his turf. Presumably it was a big really jar of shadow cancer. Or a statue. I hate art, at this point, there's so many fucking statues my Sire gets on a monthly basis. I take it a non-pushover Prince would make it so my Sire doesn't make new vamps casually, and makes sure he knows us by name and face, all that? What are the odds he really is a giant pussy and a pushover, since we're not in L.A. or whatever, but a smaller city? Less than a million people, more than half a million, that kind of place. Getting too specific seems dangerous, so I won't.
>>96648424Oh you misunderstand me fledgling, I have zero intention on selling you the Sabbat. I figured telling you the grizzly details of what a mass embrace is like would convey that point. The "Death Cult" thing is a bit of a misnomer. We're a lot more like a Jihadi terror group. One of the land-holding ones like the Mujaheddin. The comparison to towelheads isn't just for dramatic effect either. If you join the Sabbat, and remember, only converts have a choice in that, you can't leave. Apostasy is punishable by final death. See the Sabbat was founded under a handful of principles. First, we gotta kill the Antediluvians, the fathers of the clans, before they eat us. The end of days, Gehenna. Second, we need to make the mortals our bitches again. Can't do that until we've united all Cainites though, we're not that deluded. So we spend most of our time trying to take shit from the Camarilla instead of stop the apocalypse. In a distant third, Freedom. No bowing to decrepit elders. Please ignore the bishops, archbishops, cardinals, templars, prisci, and regent. Only us nomads actually follow that one. I'd explain the more advanced shit like the vinculum but your sire's keeping your poor ass so far in the dark I'd need to explain blood bonds and shit and I'm too hungry right now to bother with that. I'll leave you with my evidence for "fuck Setites". My pack had a Setite member once. She willingly joined us after we torched her sire and pygmy temple. Those sick fucks had her hooked on drugs and turning tricks when she was a teenager. They embraced her a few years later, and kept her turning tricks after that. That's their idea of "freeing" someone from Ra's chains. They're sniveling scum and if I met one I'd kill them on general principle. Poor thing was never quite right, just walked into the sun one morning. Alright, later. Gonna see what kine this communal haven has on tap. Will answer any questions when I'm full.
>>96648424If your Sire really is a grandchilde of Aphrodite—another name for the progenitor of the Toreador clan—that would make you a member of the 6th generation. Word to the wise kid, don't go around advertising that fact. There are licks out there who want what you have right now and they see you as an easy meal ticket
>>96646698he Rhine, is it? Aye, I can’t say I’ve lingered by its banks, save for a brief spell in the ’20s near the Swiss-Austrian border. Yer invitation’s kindly given and gladly taken.

And should ye find yerself in Amsterdam, I’d be pleased to host ye, if ye’ve no objection to lodgin’ in an old corpse-house.As for yer childer, I’ve heard naught of his destruction, so it seems the sheriff’s claws haven’t torn him apart, not yet, anyway. A fair ruckus he stirred all the same, had me keepin’ my head down for a month lest my own dealings be dragged into the sheriff’s wrath.>>96648396Money, is it? Bah! Leave such petty trifles to yer servants. They’re better suited to it anyhow, what with all that cursed devil-machinery tangled up in the business these nights.

>>96648570>Oh you misunderstand me fledgling, I have zero intention on selling you the Sabbat. I figured telling you the grizzly details of what a mass embrace is like would convey that point.Oh, huh. Okay. I kind of figured the grizzly details were, in fact, a selling point. I'm not really into all that, but I can imagine somebody getting drunk on 'I'm now flammable and have to drink people' power and wanting to enjoy it in that way.>First, we gotta kill the Antediluvians, the fathers of the clans, before they eat usEvading the topics of how that'd work out, for now. It's a certainty that they'd eat us if we don't kill them first, right? Is it some sort of guess that they'll be upset with their distant children, or what's the cause there, if any? And wouldn't, I don't know, taking over the world to use normal people as fodder be sensible, then? Have whole armies, not just a relative handful of vampires?>Second, we need to make the mortals our bitches againSo Sabbat IS for powertrippers.>Can't do that until we've united all Cainites though, we're not that deluded>immediately followed up by 'fuck Setites though'Love this place>In a distant third, Freedom. No bowing to decrepit eldersAnd how that'd work? I mean, let's take me and my Sire. Even if I was theoretically was experienced and knew as much as she does, she'd still be stronger, right? And she could just overpower me. How'd that problem be solved, if the whole idea is overpowering mortals and ruling over them, at the same time?Thanks for the info, have fun drinking people.>>96649146To be fair, whoever wants that would have to, in their desire to take it, rely on me being accurate in retelling what my Sire said, and rely on that she wasn't just being flowery about being hot, which she does very often. Oh, and they'd need to deal with my Sire after. Kind of betting on her, not them. Still, thanks, that's a whole new realm of intense paranoia I didn't know I should be concerned about, until now. .
Fuck, I was so hungry I forgot to put a name in.>>96651305So the fear of the Antediluvians is based out of the Sabbat's primary religion, Noddism. Noddism has a prophecy called Gehenna, in which the 3rd gen will rise and devour their childer, 1000 years of darkness, all that jazz. A more practical argument is "elders are assholes, elders from the younger dryas must be apocalyptic assholes". Personally, I'm skeptical, but even a handful of dickhead Antediluvians could cause an apocalypse on their own. And you're right that taking over the world, our other major objective, would help the first. It's the most commonly cited reason by the Sabbat's ruling class as to why we spend all our time attacking the Camarilla. Practically though, they just want to take the Camarilla's shit. We're not trying to do everything at once. Generally the idea is: Unite the Cainite race, subjugate the mortals, drown the Antediluvians in a tide of bodies. Note: unite the Cainite race is a convert or die affair. What my pack did to those scumfuck Setites was all kosher, kill the filthy antediluvian worshippers, convert those willing to convert.Lastly, on the point of freedom. Yes, your sire will almost always be more powerful than you by virtue of having unlived for longer and having a more potent generation. However, the power difference is not so insurmountable you can't win with dirty tricks or more common to the Sabbat, overwhelming numbers. Who wins, one delta force guy, or three hundred somalis with machetes? It's why we love the mass embrace.To make myself 100% clear, I'm trying to be as brutally honest about the Sabbat as possible. Because I hate the kool-aid drinkers more than I hate the Camarilla. I'm loyal to my pack, not some dipshit priscus or cardinal. Speaking of, we have an errand to run for the bishop. I'll probably be radio silent for a while. From where I'm standing, Del, you got embraced in a powder keg. Have an exit strategy for when your deranged sire implodes.
>>96651305Or you could just do the fourth option and say fuck it all and just vibe where you are. I run a neutral elysium for drinks, blood wine and typhon’s brew, and a place where all can discuss business, share stories, maybe eat a person or two. Also death matches, we have those as well. Real popular that. Just saying for the youths out here, simply understand that the masquerade is pretty important. There are an awful lot more kine than there are cainites. Even with all powerful god-like powers, they still have pure numbers on their side. Also technomagic shit that will blow your minds in both a metaphorical and literal sense. >>96646698Ach, es tut mir leid freund. >>96644411Kill the tremere, liberate the gargoyle. Simple as. >>96641722If only it was the Arnold model. This was more t2 in how it kept repairing and morphing. Something called a HIT MARKX or somthing like that. How goes y’all’s night?

>>96598427>he doesn't know about Mark the Markavian, Childe of MarkavLaughingMarkavians.jpg
>>96651305For those of us who’ve walked this shadowed path long enough, the simple draught of mortal blood no longer stirs the soul. In time, the hunger deepens, gnawin’ and clawing ’til only the essence of our own kind will ease its bite. So do not be shocked if yer lady’s interest lies beyond mere affection, if she’s as ancient as some claim (though I’ve my doubts), she may be grooming ye for a darker purpose. A Toreador wretch is vain enough to boast of blood far richer than it is.As for me? I’m ever hungry, a hollow in my belly that no mortal blood can truly fill. The taste of my sister witches’ power soothes it for a time, as does the essence of a wandering spirit now and then. But best it is to sit with the hunger, to know it and make peace with its gnawin’, lest it turn inward and devour yer very self.
>>96648424>How does that work? The generations specificallyApologies for the delay in my response, my schedule was a bit more cluttered than usual last night. Much like your sire, I too masquerade as a professor at a university and between my "duties" there, assisting as human acquaintance with his museum, and my own nightly activities I was quite busy. It seems that >>96649146 was able to impart at least a general understanding but I'll try to provide more detail. When a vampire Sires another, they new vampire is said to be one generation higher than their Sire. This also causes the blood to be diluted, making the new vampire weaker than their sire; not in a way that can be overcome with sufficient time and training, but as a plateau to your supernatural abilities. The only way to cross that plateau is to devour the soul of a vampire whose generation is lower than yours in a process that is known in these nights as Diablerie. That is the danger you were being warned about.>And did anybody actually manage to shed these illusions and get anywhere near creator-y?To my knowledge, no. Some of my kin propose that the world-prison itself is the final chain that binds us. In order to complete our ascension, the world Ra created must be destroyed - cast back into the sea of Nun from whence it was risen. Others propose that some have managed to ascend, but since they have shed all tied to this world they have no interest in what occurs here and so they ventured forth into the sea of Nun to make worlds of their own. At the end, it's like any other religious question: you can read the stories and scripture, learn the doctrine, and partake in the rituals; but you must decide for yourself if you believe or not. I choose to believe.
>>96653099I always thought the plus generation thing was dumb until I remembered the system was created before the number 0 and it makes more sense. I personally like to think of it more like a metal. To Achieve a really pure metal you either have to start basically at that purity or be preapred to cast off amounts of impurities. Dross, the gross stuff. But even if you do that, if that metal is worked again, mixed again, alloyed. You don't magically get to go back to that first step. It's even worst as you presumably don't have that pure sample anymore. Meaning the only way to achieve that purity is a new sample or finding a way to cast aside those impurities again. If you want to think of it like gold, it goes from 24 karat to 22 karat, to 20 karat, to 18 karat. You've already gone from near purity to 75% pure as you head to 12 karat (50%) and lower the amount of actual gold vanishes, gone, loss in the dross. But for all the diablery enthusiastis you have to wonder if that abomination, that taint is somehow removing dross, or are you merely alloying again. If you alloy 18 karot and 12 karot gold, you don't get 18 karot gold, I don't believe that diablery is the sufficient scrapping process, something that takes out impurities and the nature of our curse, to ever be worst or weaker would seem to support that. You are not becoming higher generation you are doomer the elder to be lower generation, more impure. I feel like if we ever did meet caine or one of his true children, our masters, our diluvians would pale in comparison, are frightening as they are. Their purity I think would be overwhealming and those that we were taught were 24 karot pure, would out tarnished, turn out mixed, turn out pretenders. Imagine that, to paraphrase jack. Yeah you got all kinds of kick ass magic powers, but for the love of god. Keep them to yourself would you, wouldn't it be a better world. Same with the children who wish to be Ra. You are not pure enough.

>>96649456Mayhaps we can aid one another then. It appears as if you have a decent lay of the land and I could certainly use a local guide. In return I’d be willing to aid you with whatever business needs concluding. I’m certain you’ll have use of a dragon in some manner or form. Soon I will cross the city boundaries, let us rendezvous at the Dam. I should not be difficult to spot amidst the vagrants and opiate addicts. As for the corpse-house, my objections are none, in fact, I brought mine own coffin.
>>96651305Salam young rose, while the nomad speaks rather truthfully he does leave out one important point about the sabbat. Even in the sabbat one is not truly free, you would still bow to the archbishop (basically a sabbat prince) the black hand (secret police) and the Regent, (the leader of the entire sabbat) most of these figures are elders. The code of Milan which is a sort of sabbat equivalent of the traditions, outlines your rights and duties much like the traditions do. At the end of the night, khayyinites are hierarchical creatures any group you join will be as such.
>>96654088Walaykum asalaam brother, what brings you here tonight?
@delegationalDegenerate >>96648537 I found some examples of Camarilla officials' views on progeny, to give you an idea:- "Having more than five childer is preposterous" was said by a Tremere Primogen during a recorded local legal dispute.- On some sort of manifest, a Prince wrote that accepting more than one childe per Kindred per century is a "catastrophic decision".- Some* records of Archons' summary executions of "excess fledglings" and their "lustful Sire". They're somewhat old to be fair, but you can use them as an example of what a "true-to-the-Traditions" Prince would do, would they decide to. Though, because of your recent comments, I don't think your Prince could. Or even would, in fact. Having such a powerful elder as an ally is an argument that carries weight. Try asking her if she got any title in-between jobs (are the statues hollow?). - The biggest "recent progeny" I know of belongs to a Brujah Whip. She got to Embrace three childer in quick succession because the first two died shortly after their Becoming.In short, strong Kindred do order around dozens of lesser licks. Just, not their own. *many
>>96654495well I'm a daughter of Haqim not a son.But I'm simply browsing while enjoying a nice blood infused tea, things are quite right now which is how I prefer it, I get more arcane research done that way then when there is some stupid crisis over Ormazd knows what.
Do blood dolls weird anyone else out? It's really creepy when one of them hits you up to get fed on. It's free blood yeah but when someone's doing it as the equivalent of a heroin hit or worse, orgasm substitute it creeps me out. I can't even bother creating a herd for the same reason. I only hunt, and almost always by stealth.
>>96648429As with all things done in Elysium, it is best to ask around discretely. You've got a good head on your shoulders, try to keep it that way. You're right to be concerned over unsolicited attention from a fellow Cainite. Have you been able to ascertain the identity and possible motive of your elder voyeur? I was something of a witch hunter before I was turned. My introduction to the esoteric came from the grimoires and confessions of sorcerers. Mortal magicians, if you can find them, are an often underestimated source of arcane lore.P.S. What was the name of this sect the ancilla mentioned?>>96651806I sought out this T2 you spoke. It is quite the film—though in my opinion it stirs up the passions too much. I am interested in learning how you defeated this HITMARKX if you're game to tell the tale. How quickly technology advances that things thought wishful and imaginary mere decades ago are now be readily available to the Hunters. A thought both frightful and terrific in equal measure. I should purchase one of these clever automatons. Golems pluck out your paper slips and tear them to shreds! The shining new model has come to take your place.>>96643475Rest well, Nomad. It is well deserved.>>96652677Have you ever wondered how the thirst of ages affects the Bluebloods? Perhaps their ancients sire entire crops of childer according to their particular preference as cattle.
>>96653307Fuck EnnoiaFuck TroileFuck Ishtar
>>96648424Since it hasn't been brought up yet, Settites count generations differently from the rest of us. Blue-Eyes is a 6th generation lick by Settite reckoning. This means she would be considered an 8th generation vampire by the standard measure
>>96654984>Have you ever wondered how the thirst of ages affects the Bluebloods? Perhaps their ancients sire entire crops of childer according to their particular preference as cattle.The peculiar dietary requirements of the Ventrue are circumvented entirely when they consume vitae, so I imagine that any Ventrue elders who can only subsist on vitae no longer need to concern themselves with finding the correct vessel to feed from.
>>96654965How is an orgasm worse than a heroine high?Besides, I've always found hunting to be too rapey for my tastes although I'm not above it.
Tall Tzimisce woman has a 20 inch cock. Figuring out if she started as a man or woman before proceeding.
>>96656080I'm not speaking morally here. It's kind of uncomfortable for a mortal to treat you like their dealer. It's very uncomfortable when a mortal treats you like a fetish sex partner. I'm trying to eat goddammit. Hunting on the other hand at least means they have no idea what's going on and there's a predatory veneer to things. You are the mighty hunter, slaking your blood on the helpless mortals. I know it sounds like some "mwahahaha" cape sabbat shit, but it's a lot better than some random mortal giving you bedroom eyes and moaning when you feed.
>>96656301Not sure it'll matter when you're pinned beneath 'em getting railed by an acid-spitting dick, but Godspeed to ya, mate.
>>96651713Thanks for the answers. I have absolutely no clue how to process apocalyptic prehistoric vampires being a possibility, and it's so out of my hands that I'll probably just not worry about it for the next twenty years, if I unlive that long.>From where I'm standing, Del, you got embraced in a powder keg. Have an exit strategy for when your deranged sire implodes. Honestly kind of hopeful that if it happens, it happens around when I am actually maybe able to stop it. I like my sire. I'm definitely kind of thinking with my dick, in part, but surely getting the supposed implosion to stop wouldn't be the worst thing.Best of luck with the errand.>>96651806Well, if where I am will actually implode, just vibing won't work. But I do kind of want that option, above all else. I don't really want to play vampire politics, or vampire apocalypse cult, or fight in vampire wars. But it's probably not healthy to chase vibing at expense of safety, right?Like>technomagicThe fuck do you mean technomagic? What is that? Why is somebody apparently capable of blowing my mind in a literal sense? Not knowing about that sure was not very safe!>>96652677Oh. So that's why the really old ones are a big problem. I guess we're their feeding pool. That's even more concerning, holy shit. Also, I don't know about the implied grooming-to-eat-me thing. While I don't know for sure if the others are as old as I guess they might be, surely she'd, like, eat the lookalikes the identity of whom she steals, if she was up to vampire cannibalism.Unless she's so vain she wants a whole lot of herself around, maybe? But she's not the type, I think. She's more into variety and running from one interest to another.>The only way to cross that plateau is to devour the soul of a vampire whose generation is lower than yours in a process that is known in these nights as Diablerie. Devour the soul?? We have those? And does eating the soul of somebody who's same, or higher, gen do anything?

>>96658048you can not fight the technomancers do not even try, it is best to simply hide from their watch, imagine a flashlight that projects the pure rays of the sun, or a death squad that teleports via the internet this is the power of the world's true rulers.there are actual ways to cheat diablerie my clan knows a lot about that. but for you diablerizing a higher gen brings no benefit besides possibly learning their disciplines and risk of being possessed. the only reason one might do it was if they were addicted to diablerie.
>>96658182If you know where to hunt, you don't need to target homeless. Hobos are all filled with diseases and drugs anyway. Either hunt right after sundown or right before sunup. The latter is far more dangerous. These are when normal mortals are the most active. Even these nights with club and bar culture dying joggers are relatively plentiful and a good amount of people still eat out on occasion. Stick near where mortals in your area congregate after work and you can easily find one to isolate and drain without them making it weird. If you get them from behind, that plus the kiss will make the entire thing a haze for them.
>>96658167It's also handy to them that many people will eagerly submit to a 7 foot tall sex god. I do a lot of gaming and shitposting to maintain my humanity so I managed to get a boner from seeing a Jessica Rabbit looking Tzim who was probably packing a 2 footer. They're also evil and selfish which is sexy. Like these fuckers are going to singlehandedly make domains fold to them just by strutting around.
>>96654088So I guess what my Sire does is one of the free-er options, right? Getting very powerful and then just sitting around somewhere relatively unimportant, not getting involved with any given group, and telling whoever comes to you to fuck off, consequences be mostly damned? I'm getting the feeling there's a reason several people now called that approach some variety of 'deranged and unsustainable', but the lack of ties is still kind of appealing.>>96654540Where did you find those? Some sort of mildly-to-moderately ominous vampire records archive, with the entarnce fee a bucket of apparently overwhelmingly dangerous technomancer blood, or something I can also access, in some way?>try asking herDid so, I anyways had to crash at her place because yet another goth girl was too shitfaced to go anywhere and I really don't want to throw people out onto the street like that. Kind of got lucky, it was emptier than usual, just me, her and another sibling who left pretty quick. Getting alone time with her is not easy, she's always up to something to stave off boredom, the usual go-to is to make yourself the boredom staving-off. I couldn't figure out a good approach to just asking her what her specific title is, so I went for asking her about her past, instead. I think she could tell my sudden and pronounced interest didn't come from nowhere (I mean, I always was curious, but didn't usually try asking too intently, she always provided enough esoteric, hard to decipher and mostly not very informative shit without further prompting), but she also did not seem to mind very much. If anything, she kind of appreciated it, I guess? Or I got tricked comically easily and fell for it? Both, maybe? >cont'd
>>96658438methinks thou desirest strange lovers
>>96658554One possibility is that your Sire might be powerful enough that letting her fuck around with some kids would be easier than killing her or maybe she's very good at playing the game. Elders are fucking wierd man
>>96658784From what he's told us, I'd say she's pretty clearly the former. Someone very good at playing the game doesn't tell the Prince to fuck off outright, even if they can. They also don't have a brood of 15 or so dependent childer. Elders are weird because they've been around way longer than our brains are supposed to. His sire is the kind of Elder that's coasted on very thick blood (probably in a relatively small pond), avoiding major stations of office (assassination magnet), and one admittedly effective trick (presumably being hot). So they're used to success without actually cultivating much guile and skill. Once those types realize they're the biggest swinging dick in a region they go on a 10-200 year terror before their own hubris inevitably does them in. It's why most Methuselah are uncounted for, their whereabouts unknown. They're the elders who actually learned to play the game well and made it into the multi-thousands as a result.
>>96659178Aye, his sire sounds the sort to fly too close to the sun, known to the Prince and brazen in her scorn for the Camarilla’s laws. I’d say she’s ripe for a reckoning, so she is, once we’ve the measure of her whereabouts.>>96653858I’d be most delighted, Herr Maus, to grant ye a proper tour of the city. Mind ye, we’ll have to keep it all rather hush-hush, the Prince of this tulip-ridden domain holds little love for dragons, not since his most trusted counsellor was unmasked as one of our own, a blade of the Sword of Caine. But none must know your clan walks here, and the Prince’s gaze is turned elsewhere for now, tangled in the quarrels of the primogen, each at the other’s throat thanks to the seeds of dread we’ve sown.’Tis the very reason I came to this place, truth be told, to sniff out that hunted spy of ours. The last missive we had from them read only “Alter Sand Macht Lahm”, though I’ll be damned if I know what it means. Perhaps ye might shed light on it, in return for my aid in finding your lost kin.In any case, I’ve readied a proper crypt for your comfort, and set poor Giorgios to fetch and chain a supper. We shall meet soon, under the shroud of night.
>>96631349>binge media and shitpost to stay human>barely go to meetings>have a guy in every sect>have contacts with every other splat for added leverage>can just rugpull anyone if they act up>clansmen get bored and go play masked private investigator, turn on obfuscate and get intel>ghouls give intel anyway>internet gives intel anyway>other clans just give intel to manipulate you>just have to make sure security systems are working in case of assholes, rat people and nigcuckuFeel my humanity slipping learning C++ though.
Weird question. Has anyone ever experienced or heard about someone spontaneously developing a discipline? Nothing major, but on that little errand I ended up taking a blow that should've at least left a mark as if it was little more than a scratch. I think I may have developed very basic fortitude at some point without realizing it. Will share the full story if anyone's interested. >>96654088>Even in the sabbat one is not truly freeEither you're not very good at reading english or I have not been as obvious as I thought. I've been saying fuck archbishops and prissy prisci the whole time. And don't get me started about the bullshit that is those Black Hand jerk-offs. >>96654984Thanks, clanmate. There's a lot of weird shit out here. >>96658048Good attitude to have on the Antes, you can't do anything about them if you don't have your own immediate shit sorted. The types that go around screeching about them and attributing everything to them are the worst. Almost every time it's just an excuse to seize more power for themselves and slander their enemies. I like to help the sect out by challenging them to Monomacy and ridding us all of their ilk.On the matter of your sire Del, you're definitely thinking with your dick. Thinking with mine is what got me shovelheaded. I ask you the following question honestly. Do you want to spend eternity as the gopher for your very attractive but out of touch and cruel lover/mother hybrid?
>>96659556Tu es tout simplement trop précieux. Has anyone ever told you that you are quite the curious little pickle, Monsieur Nomad?
You! Yes, you! Childe of Caine, do you feel like there's something missing from your unlife? The grind of night-to-night life getting you down?Well, look no further than Mr. Cornucopia's Amazing Thingamajigs®! We've got whatever you need to bring some excitement back into your drab, boring nights!Tonight, we've got ourselves a special deal just for you:Are your things being stolen right now?

>>96659556I've heard that the physical disciplines can be learned without a teacher sometimes.I more so meant that if he joined the sabbat he would most likely wouldn't end up as a nomad and hence would have to deal with the elders anyways.>>96658554your sire is probably someone who relies on their low generation as a crutch. Sooner or later she will get bored of you and toss you out of the haven/domain. It would be good to make some bridges with the camarilla or anarchs, to at least ensure your survival.

[HTML] Do you feel that chill in your spine Kine? That aching frission going up your spine duckling? That damp cold breath on the back of your neck? It’s time once again for the [/HTML][BOLD] ADVENTURES OF DETECTIVE MALKAVIAN[/BOLD]No no no, kid that Ain’t right, Detective Malkavian says. It needs to look grander, Have you considered a 3d Font? His ward, a freshly embraced Malkavian named Mark sighed. They had been working on the blog for days, and they had never gotten past the intro. Mark looks, trying not to sound terse with his would be master, and asks, Why do you want a blog anyway if you can’t work a computer?YOU TOLD ME NO MORE ACRONYMS, Detective Malkavian shrieked. If this wasn’t an office building and past midnight Mark was sure they would have been kicked out by now. ‘Sorry Sorry’ he says, reiterating that a webpage might be of limited use to vampires considering you know, the Masquerade. Detective Malkavian sat there muttering for a minute that if GNU is not unix , then what was it. Before refocusing on Mark. Fah, Masquerade, the Detective scoffed. We are looking to solve mysteries and there are mysteries everywhere, even on this accursed networking. Mark shook his head waiting for a lengthy rant about GNU and other self referential acronyms but instead an email came in. It came in to DetectiveMalkavian@theMalkavianDetectiveAgency.com . That by itself would not be that strange except for the fact that Mark had set up the email server not even 3 hours ago, and the registered email had not been posted anywhere. “HA”, the Detective chortled , “A CASE! To the MALKAVIANMOBILE!“.” Mark didn’t know what the name of the Madness that Detective Malkavian had but he thanked his lucky stars or sires everyday that he merely had a paralyzing fear of well several things but it seemed so much more manageable than whatever the Detective had.
>>96659881So they climbed in a rusted and shitty Impala, the titular Malkavianmobile and headed out. Mark read the email from his phone as they drove, trying to tell Detective Malkavian that a Tripolian Prince wouldn’t need the Detective to send him a money order in order to unlock his princely savings and that this is what normal people called a scam. Detective Malkavian just smiled and headed out, his voice booming as he explained. Tripoli of the west, the city of the levant, Conquered by the Count of Oliveto, and cleared of the mussleman by the Knights of St. John, the red castle that they build in the 15th century , why was it red you might ask? FROM THE BLOOD OF THEIR VAMPIRIC SACRIFICES my lad. It can be forgiven that as a neonate you may not know this but you should take the time to learn your vampiric history boy. Mark sulked in silence as they pulled into a Wafflehouse parking lot on the outskirts of the city, where their sign said in red plastic letters ‘Welcome to RED castle’. Mark’s mood didn’t improve as they moved in and sure enough a man was waiting for them. Detective, he said chillingly as Detective Malkavian sat with a curt , ‘Count’ before sliding further in to let Mark sit. ‘My Squire’ The detective said and the count nodded. Mark just sat silently until the waitress, an emo girl with a too big lipring came over. Mark ordered, Rashers of bacon and waffles and coffee which at least seemed to please the count. The food sat untouched except by Mark, who moved it around the plate.
>>96659885The Count Smiled, a dangerous thing, of dark lines and sharp tongue. ‘How many days’ he asked and before Mark could responded the detective said ‘not enough, but I still wouldn’t part with him’. That sharp tongue seemed to return to purpose as the Detective continued ‘Surely you didn’t summon me to judge the greenness of my acquaintance’ and the count laughed. Those sharp teeth back in control. ‘Of Course not Detective, he crooned. Mark watched as the rest of the Wafflehouse seemed to get darker, as if someone had turned down the saturation on reality. There now we can talk the Count said. The Detective Nodded as the girl with the piercing casually stole from the til and watched the 3am Infomercials waiting for her shift to end. The count said flatly “I have been burgled, of a necklace, Something very valuable to me and in general. Also dangerous on it’s own account, you would recognize it if you saw it. It outshines the very night, A black tourmaline pendant on a golden chain, If held to the darkness shows a crude crown as a flaw of the stone. That’s a bad necklace to lose this close to all saint’s day the detective muttered. Mark took a bite of waffle reflexive as the two glowered at each other. The two continued glowering as he ran for the Johns wretching as his body rejected all good things of life, like waffles. He puked and puked and wretched abd oyjed, Something, perhaps what was left of his soul, just refused to come up, stuck in the back of his throat like a a hair coiled up in his stomach. It was so bad that Waitress puffylips came to see if he was okay. Mark stepped out in time to see the Count slide something to Detective Malkavian before leaving on a beam of shadow. Mark looked sickly at the girl who hadn’t seemed to notice and managed an ‘I’m so sorry’ before the Detective dragged him away.
>>96659893When the girl finally thought to check the washroom, coated in a thin brown layer of puke, blood and edible oil Mark the Detective could hear her scream, but they were gone. Detective Malkavian drove with a stony determination into the night, returning to the office to prepare. They had a case Mark realized feeling his stomach churn as much from that as the waffles. He could feel it, the gassy stomach turning anticipation, the spine chilling uncertainty. Why was the only Kindred who would sponsor him a Detective, when Mark had a Paralyzing fear of Mysteries.
>>96659649Can't say that they have, snake. Care to elaborate?>>96659744That so? Maybe the damage I took in the abandoned mines triggered my beast to toughen my body up a little. Though why then of all times is unclear. It's not the first time I've had a near-torpor level injury.
>>96659416Trust the Camarilla to keep itself busy, but a delightful little twist nonetheless. With the powers that be preoccupied, it will be trivial to go unseen in this den of debauchery. Although it makes me somewhat of an oddity among my peers, I prefer a little old-world charm over the more monstrous visages my clan is known for. Then again seeing the vivid images painted by some of the other kindred here, there is a certain je ne se quoi in thusly scarring the mind. I digress.Their missive was in German then, instead of Dutch? That alone already strikes me as odd, considering our locale. As for what it means, it would roughly translate to “Old Sand is Crippling” which to me personally appears like gibberish. It could perhaps be a proverb unfamiliar to me, but that seems quite the reach as well. Having said that, are we out to retrieve or erase the little fly?It’s such a rare treat to have a proper hostess. >>96658167>>96658438Oh to hold a procession only to frighten the peasantry again, truly better days.
>>96659946Just that it is curious of you to claim membership in the Sabbat when you have no loyalty to it. You hate your leaders, your fellow members and your own laws. You only value your personal freedom - perhaps your packmates in a distant second, though I am certain you would abandon without a thought if it would save your own skin. You are hardly The Sword of Caine, more like an opportunistic bottom feeder.
>>96659656I’LL TAKE TWENTY PAIRS! I LOVE YOU MR. CORNUCOPIA!
>>96660435Twenty pairs for the Creepy Weirdo Koldun!Get them while they're hot, nightfolks! We have a limited supply!That'll be twenty pairs of Gangrel ears, preferably of different species of animals.
>>96660474Done. It’s mostly big cat and wolf ears. One set of antlers, and elephant ears as well as noticeable variants. All obtained from my fighting pits, scouts honor!
>>96660507Antlers aren't ears. Deal's off.
If I marry a nosferatu can I live in the warrens with them and never do anything ever again the way they do?
>>96660334I take it you're mad about me and mine killing your child prostituting clanmates. Next time I get my hands on a snake, I'll be sure to skin it and send you the video. Not everyone in the Sabbat is a deranged cultist. I'm part of a political faction called the Loyalists. We call it like it is, the Sabbat is bloated with crazies and two-bit authoritarians. I hate my leaders because they have been spending 500 years trying and failing to be the meaner, dumber Camarilla. I think the Purchase Pact was an alright idea but the Code of Milan was a load of shit. The Sabbat's inability to confront its own contradictions and failings is why it's dying a slow, ignoble death. It isn't terribly surprising that one of your ilk can't comprehend the idea of being critical of your own kind. I'd rather meet Final Death than abandon my packmates, and that's only half the vinculum talking. If that's all the venom you have, you're even more disappointing than most Setites.
>>96659477How's the wife?
>>96660523Now now. The antlers were a bonus. It’s still twent gangrel ears of varying sorts.
>>96660555Alas, I shall just have to bear the weight of your disappointment. It'll be a difficult cross to bear, but what is unlife without a hurdle to overcome, non?
>>96660599Did Mr. Cornucopia ask for antlers?But fine, we'll be in contact for delivery.
>>96660663‘Tis merely a gesture of good will! How often does one find gangrel antlers afterall? These are irish elk by the looks of it. Maybe moose. Guy had a very weird “beast” form honestly. His ears will be sent as well, have no concern.
>>96658554Delayed cont'd, had a thing come up. Anyways, she as usual went for a really poetic flair to things, and made detailed recording of what she said somewhat complicated. I'll try to recount it from memory, but it was in fucking dactylic hexameter or something, she sung it into my ear, I'm am really not that great at poetry, and I missed a big amount of what she was saying due to very objective and reasonable reasons, so it'll be inaccurate.>once I was joy to concord, same as concord was to beauty>beauty long had fled, and disjointed was concord, cut and cut and cut>her blood I swore upon to rise higher than all and right all wrongs>my mantle was matron-in-gold, matron-in-truth, yet matriarch-not-yet >once bemantled and becrowned, I saw naught but keeping post>and so I left it, seeking that which beauty might haveShe didn't outright tell me if she has some sort of title nowadays, but she told me she moves relatively often; somewhere between every thirty and a hundred years, faster if the city she's in is too boring or dying, slower if she's got a good reason to stay in place. I tried asking about the argument with the Prince, but she basically said 'don't worry about it' in five different ways, and called the Prince an overworrier who 'ought to trust his betters at this point, that's his whole thing'. Did confirm that they've got an arrangement of some sort; she stays neutral and uninvolved in local politics, the local politics in turn does not bother her, as much as that can be true.The statues are hollow like a tenth of the time, by the way. Is that bad?
>>96660541Why do you think the Nosferatu don't work? Who do you think digs those warrens? I would say they are among the hardest working fangs. Now their work might be odd, some of their job is definitely to linger in Kindred street corners, watch the comings and goings ,etc. Honestly the Nosferatu ugliness is their greatest gift just as a way to differentiate themselves from others. Also>MarryI don't get these vamps who go on about sex and marriage. Do you actually get anything out of it? I heard that there are vamps who can hold down food but I always presumed it was an act, not something done for pleasure.
>>96659556>Do you want to spend eternity as the gopher for your very attractive but out of touch and cruel lover/mother hybrid?First, God, no, not a lover/mother hybrid. Sugar mommy fits better, if we have to use something about parentage. And, eh. Definitely not an eternity. I'd start to hate it eventually, even if for now it's not really offensive. I don't know if being in any arrangement at all for a literal eternity would be for me. Though I doubt it'd be an eternity, anyways. The vague reckoning threats, the fact that she probably has some sort of enemies out there, even if none bother to show up, plus the fact that I am an idiot with zero experience in a very, very dangerous situation kind of suggests that she might be done in eventually, or I will be.But in a vacuum, it's not really a bad arrangement? I do like her. She's fleeting, can't stay focused, is evidently a bit reckless, and it's kind of the type I like being around. She's up to shit, almost always in movement. It's appealing, for some reason, not at all purely sexually, so while I am definitely thinking with my dick, I don't think I'm doing only that.She's also, obviously, the wisest person I've ever known, on account of being that old and experienced. Probably my best chance to learn really complex shit, once I find a way to get her to teach me. She's caring, in her way, cruel mostly through not bothering to teach me some things, rather than intentful sadism. I could probably do way, way worse, far as undead relationships go. The choice will probably be made for me, but until it is, or until it is really urgent that I pick, I can try and have a good time, and also try to figure out an emergency way out, if I need it, just as several now people suggested.So, eternity? Closer to a 'no'. A long, long, long while, far longer than my planning horizon? I think I'd like that.
>>96660572The Toreador primogen is supportive but not ready to go public yet.
>>96660823>I don't get these vamps who go on about sex and marriage. Do you actually get anything out of it?Do you not get anything out of sex, specificaclly? I mean, it doesn't feel as good as drinking blood, but it's still pretty good, no?
>>96660917Ahhh, Am I supposed to? I mean it's a bit awkward to ask I've only tried a few times and while I can do the act that's it. There's no release, no ahh excitement. It's a bit like when some vampires say they really love something, I have to admit I've only really felt ahhh cold since the embrace. I used to enjoy things, but now I'm just a corpse I guess. That's atypical? Is it a clan thing? Did I get the short end of the stick again?
>>96660823Fangers are still banging. Toreadors will just just be fucking something without even noticing. I don't know how much it does for them but it must be something.
>>96660975Well shit, I didn't realize the difference between the clans was that big. I thought it was more like families. I'm not all that familiar with my master but they told me Gangrel? I've been in a few scrapes and I seem to be tough but yeah. I don't know what others mean about the animals and other stuff. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Just Survive right, that has to be enough I guess.
@Bruj-ritan >>96654984 A witch hunter... Do you have epic stories to tell? Concerning the elder's identity, there are only two persons I remember looking like him, a Brujah and a Tremere. The Brujah is an ex-Scourge from a nearby country who seeked asylum here. When I asked why, they told me it was because he couldn't do it anymore. The Tremere stays in his haven all year long, only leaving it to prove he's not dead. They both keep to themselves, hardly leaving their quarters. For his motive, I thought about it and, that's when the ancilla began talking to us that I caught the elder looking. I mean, she literally said she knew someone from "the unknown", "the unknown sect" (a bit on the nose, don't you think?). When asked about it, she told us it was a very "secret" organisation of millenia-old elders trying to do, uh, things. Yeah right. I knew then that she was making things up, switched off and looked around. He might, at least I hope so, have targeted her instead of me. That would be one less thing to worry about.
>>96660849Having that kind of relationship with your sire always struck me as rather oedipal. Granted, I have a pretty strong bias given the circumstances of my own embrace. I view my sire, whichever one he or she was, as a bit of a deadbeat parent. Question. Have you ever drank her blood?
@delegationalDegenerate >>96658554 Archives should be freely accessible, provided there are some. Not every Domain has a record keeper, but most of them have Harpies, and they generally like to keep track of juicy rumors and favor's trades. The manifest/autobiography, I've found in a libraby (dedicated to us), written by a german Prince, and it was a bitch to translate. Title is "Macht und Verantwortung", don't bother searching it on the internet, every german politician, philosopher and economic teacher wrote a book with that name. Though, you can find Kindred literature on kine's shelves if you look hard enough. Nothing groundbreaking as they're closely monitored, but you can find some informations about old celebrities that way. You kinda have to study a lot to get your own Domain one day.I'm not that versed in poetry, but I think I can interpret that she was Prince at some point, but she still felt the weight of the Inner Council and their Justicar on her, meaning she wasn't really at the helm she desired and chose to become an Autarkis.I don't know if the contents of the hollow statues are bad, but given your history with shadow cancer, I wouldn't look inside. As they say, "Don't open it".
Lots of fetishes tonight@Maeve >>96652677 You keep talking about spirits. Is it, uh, a sisters of Lilith's slang? What does it mean?@Kalif&Vitae >>96654630 How do you brew this tea? I'm interested.@Serpent Aux Yeux Bleus >>96655055 Is that really true? I can guess why they wouldn't teach me that, but I find it hard to believe nonetheless. Before you ask, no, I'm not going to hunt anyone just for that.@Mr. Cornucopia >>96659656 I know for a fact the Tremere can track you down thaumaturgically through the internet, so you being active in the thread means you're just a fraud. I don't really fear being stolen from anyway. @Anonymous >>96660970 Have you tried talking to someone about your problem?
>>96661500I usually have my sanguine assistant brew me a batch, of course its basically a tiny me so it knows how i like it.Now there is actually two versions of this, if you can not eat mortal food then it is better to simply put the blood on a hotplate until its warm (DO NOT BOIL IT! IT WILL COAGULATE) this mimics the warmness of fresh blood.However if you were embraced with the ability to taste mortal food, or spent time researching how to resurrect your deadened taste buds, you can treat the blood as a water replacement (blood is mostly water anyways) and put in whatever flavorings you want, I find pomegranate pairs oddly well.actually a lot of recipes one can make with blood like blood pudding or even blood pancakes, there is weirdly a lot of weird and exotic food made of animal blood that mortals eat, I imagine that perhaps these recipes came from khayyinites.
>>96660970Man, I've been embarrassing myself in here for several nights now, and you're anyways posting anonymously, I can't imagine it's really that big a deal. I personally still get to enjoy most things I did in life. They're not as pleasant, but they're still enjoyable. Maybe you're just vampire-depressed, or some shit? >>96661165I can see why it'd be oedipal, what with vamps you make being called 'childe' and stuff. I guess her very much trying to strike the image of an older woman adds to that.>Have you ever drank her blood?Yeah, once, around three months ago. She wanted to drag me and a few others off to watch some play that was in French. I did not ever in my life even try to learn French, told her as much. She was discontent with that I'd miss out on the play, and would be there just as basically a seat filler, not even a seat warmer. Said something about that no darling of hers will go into the joys of the night blind and deaf, and gave me a vial of (supposedly, but I don't really doubt it) her blood. It was like an ounce or so, the vial was clear glass, with lots of little symbols etched into it. I drank the contents, even if she didn't bother explaining how that would help. The blood tasted strange, good but not as fantastic as she said it would for mortals. I told her I don't really feel any different. She told me I'm an idiot, in French. I somehow understood it, and could talk back in French. I don't really know how, I just did.After the play I figured out I can also read French, just not very well, but writing it just doesn't work. All in all I don't know a single rule of the grammar, it's just instinctive understanding and speaking the language. Really weird.The play was worth it, though. Kind of cool, even if quarter of the actors were theater kids from the same university she teaches at.
>>96661368Right. Okay, thanks. I guess I'll poke around at my Sire's place, see if there's anything besides mountains of softcover romance novels on the easily accessible shelves. Don't really have anybody who I can ask to go check out public libraries during the day for me, though, and I don't feel like sneaking into one at night. Guess that one will wait.>I'm not that versed in poetry, but I think I can interpret that she was Prince at some point, but she still felt the weight of the Inner Council and their Justicar on her, meaning she wasn't really at the helm she desired and chose to become an Autarkis.Your guess is probably as good as mine on this. If it helps, she was a bit wistful during the parts about matriarchs and mantles, so maybe you're broadly right? I'll try to ask more, when I have the chance. Any suggestions for bits and pieces I should try to focus on? 'Were you a Prince', something like that?>I don't know if the contents of the hollow statues are bad, but given your history with shadow cancer, I wouldn't look inside. As they say, "Don't open it".Well, she'd probably tear my dick off if I broke open one of the statues she isn't yet bored of looking at, and the ones she is bored of, she usually just dumps in a storage unit for eternal safekeeping. So I'll do my best to abstain. The statues don't do anything spooky, even the hollow ones, so maybe she just makes cash off of drug trafficking or something. Do we do that, actually? Petty crime with use of supernatural powers, to get money and power? Or that's some sort of faux pas?

>>96661971[Spoiler]interesting events PHONEPOSTING AAAA[/spoiler]
>>96660917You're young and/or a Toreador. Sex doesn't really do anything for most of us after the first few decades
>>96659901Hehehe, Markavian
>>96660743Hollowed out statues are one of the more common ways you Toreadors are known to move other vampires around. However, unless the statues are big and bulky, the only cainites that are able to fit inside these statues are the Fiends and they're always bad newsDo you think you can fit inside the hollow statues?
>>96660849>First, God, no, not a lover/mother hybrid. Sugar mommy fits better, if we have to use something about parentage.Freud would have a field day with you. Caine, I miss that brilliant fool
>>96662015That is the most depressing and unnerving thing I have read here, surpassing the stuff about apocalyptic vampires. Does anything do anything for a vampire who is like a thousand years old? Besides I guess blood?>>96662166I have no idea. If they're very hollow, the biggest ones can maybe fit me, and I am not a manlet. Though most are not large at all, and I am not sure they are fully hollow, as opposed to having hollow pockets of some sort.>FiendAnd those are?
>>96661698>Do we do that, actually? Petty crime with use of supernatural powers, to get money and power? Or that's some sort of faux pas?It is, in point of fact, a rather common activity for most vampires - accrue money, influence, political capital, and underlings in order to reduce the risks one must take night to night.>And those are?It's another name for vampires of the Clan Tzimisci, like Monsieur Chelys. They are one of the founding clans of the Sabbat, notable for their Old World customs and powers of flesh crafting.
>>96661614Well Del, there's no easy way to say it but you've been blood bound. If someone drinks a vampire's blood, (even as part of a neat little tincture), it creates a fondness for the vampire. It starts off reasonable, manageable, almost natural. But, if you do it three times within a year, it becomes overwhelming, and you become little more than a slave to the person blood bonding you. I'll leave you with that information. Make an informed decision Cainite, it's not for me to tell you what path to choose. One night we all have to reckon with our decisions.>>96661971Oh sure, defection rates are pretty high these nights despite the apostasy equals death policy. I wouldn't abandon my pack though, even if the rest of the Sabbat could burn. They got me out of a really bad situation, being an up-jumped shovelhead in a town with the worst sort of bishop you could imagine. I owe them, even if only two of my current pack were a part of it back when I joined. >>96662015I dunno about that. I've seen a lot of "I am beyond human" type Sabbat elders engage in pretty heinous sex acts.
>>96660205Aye, I can tell ye’re an old gentleman and not one of those new-fangled freaks clutterin’ up the nights. That message was meant for a friend of mine of German blood, the one who keeps a contact beyond the city walls, feedin’ all the court’s secrets to the bishops. We’ll be meetin’ with him as well, and I’ve no doubt he’ll be glad to lay eyes on one of his own countrymen.As for catchin’ the fly, retrieval, if we can manage it. That is, if the sheriff’s claws or the blood hunt haven’t torn him apart yet. Which I sorely doubt, the Prince would’ve made a grand show of the deed if they had.And As for the message itself it remains a riddle to me, even when put into my own tongue. Mayhap it holds its meaning only in the words it was first woven from. Giorgios reckons it might have some tie to the glass-makers, though what craft or code lies behind it, I’ve yet to see.>>96661500Ghosts! Aye, the restless dead, the shades that linger just beyond the veil, refusin’ to let their souls be swallowed into naught. I’ve been schooled in the art of callin’ them forth and bendin’ them to my will. Yet unlike the Giovanni and their heavy-handed ways, I prefer to strike proper bargains with such spirits, we’ve all heard how poorly that family’s meddlin’ ends so often. Still, a stray wraith now and again can offer a rare and potent sustenance, if one’s appetite is tuned to their sorrow and fury through the proper rites.
>>96664283>It's another name for vampires of the Clan Tzimisci, like Monsieur Chelys. They are one of the founding clans of the Sabbat, notable for their Old World customs and powers of flesh crafting.>flesh crafting>founders of Sabbat, who, discounting the fairly polite and helpful company in this chat, are very Sabbat>and they theoretically may have been, or will be, in those hollow statuesI am now suddenly interested in leaving my city as fast as possible. Why are they usually bad news?>>96664788Shit, really? Sounds hard to believe. Presumably because of the blood bond, naturally, but, like, I don't remember having any sort of change in opinion on her, after the tincture. No sudden or slow 'you know, I actually kind of like this woman' realization, or anything. Could getting blood bound alter my memories? Make it so I don't even remember disliking her?
@Maeve >>96665211 You eat ghost uh... I've never heard such stories before, but I'm not surprised at this point. Still, I can't help but have a silly question. What does a ghost taste like?@Kalif&Vitae >>96661578 Thanks to you, I now have something to order on the terrace. I'll just need to write precise instructions so my employee doesn't waste my drink like I did... @delegationalDegenerate >>96668527 Hey now, your Sire might be a political outsider, but I don't think even the most cowardly Prince would accept Sabbat smuggling on their territory... Now THAT would be a faux pas, especially these horrors. Regarding petty crimes, to be honest, Kindred society will turn a blind eye to the worst atrocities done against humans, as long as you don't get caught by them. Everyone has to learn how to deal with that fact, one way or another. Even your Sire.There, you could start with that, ask her how she felt when she had to be her worst, and go from there. Manipulating a reminiscing and sentimental person IS easier. ...Could you... Ask her how she made you learn French through her blood? It would accelerate everything if I could learn everything like that. I did drink blood from others, I don't think I learnt anything from them, there must be a trick to it.
Waiting for our Gangrel to get out of torpor. Been feeding him what we can to expedite the process. At the very least, the stars are absolutely beautiful this far into the sticks. Hope I'm around long enough to go there one night. See if they burn us as bad as ol' Sol.>>96668527Well the blood bond is subtle. Especially if it's only first stage. I only brought it up because you seem to have a habit of attributing positive qualities to her without much substantiation. Of course, it could just be infatuation. Blood bonds can't erase or rewrite memory, but Dominate can. It's the iconic "look into my eyes" vampire power you might be familiar with. It's kinda rare as a "natural" discipline, but your sire could've learned it in her long unlife. I can't tell you what to do, but you gotta consider all possibilities, which includes that your sire sees you as a disposable dildo-forklift combo. Or maybe it's true love. I wouldn't know. Good luck, Del.
>>96668527I would be more concerned about your sire possibly knowing thaumaturgy. That language learning tincture sounds like a powerful blood ritual, independent sorcerers tend to attract the tremere, a paranoid and genocidal lot who hate when others learn what they think is "their secrets". Which is stupid because they didn't invent blood sorcery we did back in the second city.
>>96668527I wouldn't say they're always bad news (they definitely are), Many older, established Toreadors will commission the services of the Cheese-mee-skee to make "alterations" to their bodies just like how the kine will hire cosmetic surgeons to do the same. If you haven't noticed it yet you can't get any new piercings, the holes will just heal over. And cosmetic surgery? Forget about it your body will push out any implants, fillers, and sutures when you sleep. Tired of your haircut? The hair'll grow back tomorrow night. Want longer hair? Too bad, get a wig. Fiends are your only option for permanent changes to how you look and boy do they know it. Those licks don't come cheap unless you want to end up like those goons from HellraiserThere are rumors of a Toreador bloodline that cultivated the discipline of fleshcrafting among its members but I don't know if there's any truth to that
>>96668747>>96668966>>96669667>good news, you probably won't have to deal with flesh-shapers who do unspeakable things to people and apparently get Hellraiser-y, with one them possibly being in that statue across the room fro you, staying very, very, very still, waiting for something>you may instead have to deal with paranoid, genocidal mages who ferociously guard trade secrets of whatever the fuck 'blood sorcery' isBluh.
>>96668885I don't want to elaborate too much on things; I'm not sure she'd even mind me saying much, she's not really reclusive enough for that, but it still feels like invading her privacy. >"look into my eyes"Well, she's done things like that, just without any sort of vampiric power-fuckery attached. You know, more being theatrical than anything. And I don't think I've ever seen her do any sort of mind control tricks on people, besides some sort of aura of awe and want she's got going on, when she wants to. She walks into a room, people can't help but look at her. It's hard to shake off, but not ovewhelming.I'll keep your words in mind. Thanks, Nomad. Hang in there, hope you get your buddy up on his feet.>>96668747Ah. So it's kind of the norm to just treat normal people like shit, and the whole 'make mortals our bitches again' thing isn't quite Sabbat-specific? Feels weird to try and think like this, I'll be honest. Or to even really single myself out from regular people that much. I guess I just didn't have much reason to do so thus far, so maybe I'll get in the mindset, eventually. Hopefully not. Feels bad to imagine.>ask Sire questionsTried this, results are a bit mixed.I started with asking about the blood vial, as a 'hey how did you even make it, any chance I could get more vials that do other things' kind of thing. I didn't actively want more vials, Nomad freaked me out about blood bonds enough, but I had to have a good reason to ask stuff, at least. And if I pretend the blood bond isn't something to worry about, which it is, but, like, in theory, I'd kind of really like to get even a bit of what she knows, just like that.She squinted at me, smiled mirthfully, said it's an old trick from when she was still very involved in things, from before she moved to America. Told me I'd not in fifty years figure out how to make it work, and that she won't yet explain, since I'd be better off not knowing. >cont'd
>>96670314Then she added that at the current pace i'll probably be in the right mind to study that sort of stuff in a century or so. I asked if she thinks I'll make through a century, she said 'we'll see, darling, for now focus on making it to twelve months'. And then cackled. Horrid. That was an okay opening for me to ask her about what she was like, way back then. That got her to kind of drop playing up the whole 'heehee, I am so wise and demure' thing. She locked up some, then said something to this extent, I just don't want to report her words word-for-word, plus I got to trim some parts. >When I was torn from the bosom of my own Sire, I was ignorant of the greater scope of things, darling. I was Joy, and Concord made for a teacher most sporadic, yet she played at releveance, beckoning trouble. Trouble came.>Our courtyard was bespeckled with viscera of serfs, of assailants unholy and Her reduced to infuriated ash and all I could do in the moment was flee, and know there were men in my steps.>I had to cut my way, I had to fight for every advantage, and I had to climb heads until there was nowhere to climb. To stop was to die.>I was horrible, darling. First in Her name, then in my own, then in Beauty's. I killed many, and built plenty more into the foundations of my house.>And then I wanted to be something else. Whimsical, casual, fleeting, moment-relishing, but not horrible. And now I certainly do not wnat to groom you to be that, or prepare you to be that.>You seem to be starting to acclimatize, even asking me touchy questions, which is frankly more than I expected of you when I took you in, darling.>A word of advice I impart upon every one of my darlings, when they get in this mood: unlife does not get any better or easier when you know less. Seek seclusion, peace and comfort, instead of mantles, gold and crowns, dear. You have to defend those forever, win every time; whoever wants to take them from you just has to win once.
>>96598161WASSUP FUCKBOYS!It's your boi, the I-can't-believe-he-did-not-wassail-yet, I_am_a_Shark!I don't remember much since last I logged here, but you'll never ever believe what I just found... I found Batman!Or at least a hobo version of him dressed in red?Still, freaking Batman roams the streets of the island where I'm at. It's called Paragon if any of you fine gentlemen wanna come. It's lovely. Still part of the states in the caribbean, and currently there's a three way turf war between Cammies, Sabbies and Annies.Did I also told you that the waters surrounding the place is infested with were-sharks AND deep sea gangrels?
>>96670921SHARK. MY MAN HOW HAVE YOU BEEN!
>>96670921Jaws is back in theatres! How fares the city of heroes?
>>96671368Like I said, I've been hanging out in this island/town called Paragon. Basically the intercontinental equivalent of a truck stop, but for any ships going from North to South of the Americas, or the USA to Europe.I may have had a few feuds in the past, lotsa bad blood (heh) with some cammies. Still Blood hunted in most territories. Believe it or not, the Sabbies find my antics quite hilarious. As a matter of fact, they hired me as muscles recently and let me tell youIt kinda rocks.There's just something, like you feel very appreciated, when you ate a guy whole (blood, brain, skin, muscles and bones) and people are cheering you on instead of feeling disgusted.Oh, oh, let me tell you something. That Batman guy, he's hilarious!
>>96671459Why hello there!Alright, that Batman guy I was talking about? OMG he's so precious.Dude is genuinely acting like the real deal.>"Vile bloodsucking scum! This is the last time you Sabbats terrorize the citizens of this town! Fear me, the RED NIGHT!"For months he has been snucking around everyone's territories, punching kindred in the face and leaving some for the police (a few to be immediately released thanks to the prince and allegiance of sect whatever).But now he has been officially acknowledged as a kindred and let me tell you something... he has no idea how kindred society works + he's recently embrace + I'm pretty sure he's a caitiffOh also, he saw me feed one time, and I'm pretty sure I became his Joker. He has been trying to find me, even trying to sneak into (and fail) into a sabbat war party. Also went unannounced into the Prince's own domain on a patrol.
If you could embrace ANYONE, who would it be?Personally, I'd totally go for Andre 3000. You know, if nobody else has dibs already. Dude's out of his mind and doesn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. Plus I bet he knows how to party.
>>96672076Not any single person, but a bunch of children so I can throw people into a pool and I can pretend that they're getting devoured by piranhas
>>96672194are you really a shark
>>96672601What, pray tell, gave you that idea? :D
>>96670281Well, YOU probably wont have to deal with the tzimisce if your sire has a pre-existing relationship with them. They're sworn enemies of the Tremere as well so maybe the fiends might actually be helping your sire against them
>>96668747Aye, such a thing is indeed possible. There are many arts within necromancy that even our own kind would call unnatural. So it is with the feast of passions, the drawing in of a wraith’s very will to linger. Their essence can be a rare delight, and there’s a certain wicked pleasure in vexin’ one’s foes even beyond the grave. But take heed, for the dead have long memories. Cross too many, and ye may find yerself the quarry of vengeful spirits. They’re unruly bastards when roused, and none too fond of the living meddlin’ in their rest.
While I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs instead of being on the open road, might as well ask a question. What's the weirdest thing you've seen in your unlife? Mine's gotta be hands down this thing my pack and I have decided in post to call The Skinner. We were out in cattle country, looking for a place to stay for a little while while we put out feelers, see if there were any juicy targets in the area. Our Priest, she was asking around and learned that there was an abandoned cattle ranch everyone's avoided for years. Seemed like a great place to hold up. Only we get there, and there's a light on. Well we figure fuck it, maybe it's just some kine we can subjugate and drain. We cover all the exits in case they run, and I head in alongside our Gangrel. The place smelled like a fucking pigsty. I mean it was bad, and we could smell blood. Mostly animal, but some human. And something between a grunt and a hum coming from the kitchen. We get in there and shit you not, there's this like... six and a half foot naked guy with a huge gut and a ton of muscle, despite how diseased he otherwise looked. He's wearing a bull's skin over his shoulders and has a cow head on. My Gangrel buddy starts laughing his ass off and I'm just confused looking at this guy, and then it gets weirder. The skins practically wrap themselves around his naked body and he shifts into a weird minotaur looking thing. Charges at us, horns down, him and the Gangrel go through a wall and the whole pack starts putting gunshots into him while our Gangrel tears into him with claws and teeth. He goes down, and turns back into a naked dude wearing cow parts. There were dozens of bones and decaying carcasses all over the property. >>96670314Appreciated. He's a big old boy, but with the amount of blood we've been feeding him, he should be up either next night, or the night after that. Then we'll be back on the road.
@Maeve >>96674528 I'll take those warnings to heart, thanks.@Nomad_Unlife >>96674925 There is this one stray cat who isn't afraid of me, I sometimes offer him some food and he lets me pet him, which is strange in itself. Do you get in weird troubles like this on the regular? Your side of the ocean seems full of oddities if I add @I_am_a_Shark stories on top
>>96674925Well, there are men changing into wolves, so there may be men changing into bulls. Or it might be some Tremere fuckery. When in doubt, blame Tremere.
>>96671539Oh! Monsieur Shark, it's nice to hear from you again. And back from your sabbatical in Egypt no less! In fact, you're relatively close by, so perhaps I'll make some time to come visit you in the near future.Speaking for sectarian conflict: after The Prince/Sheriff (or was he the Sheriff/Prince? Was he a Ventrue masquerading as a Nosferatu? Or a Nosferatu masquerading as a Ventrue?) sent the best fighters in the city on a suicide raid against the Sabbat, there's growing concerns regarding the defenses of the city being weakened and the possibility of a full siege. As I type this, I'm in the car with Baron Christopher on our way to meet with Prince Vigo and dfghjjk
>>96675820r u ok?
Any Fae that walks is a new problem coming for you
>>96665211Ah grand, another liaison. As long as my presence indeed does not dissuade him from divulging, I’d gladly be your shadow. I must admit, intervening in a proper blood hunt has me positively quivering with excitement, it’s been so terribly long since I had the chance to stretch my wings. The flesh aches to be tested. However, I shall adhere to the laws you have set, I am your humble guest and will conduct myself as such. Might request my lady to translate it to her own tongue for me? Mayhaps a synonym for the words will shed some clarity upon this enigma. Though it is just as likely to be lost in translation, I am curious nonetheless.
>>96675480>Do you get in weird troubles like this on the regular?Define regular. This was several years ago, and my pack rarely stays in one place for longer than a month. I've been all across the continental U.S., not to mention a little bit of time both north and south of the border. There's a lot of weird shit out in the world, we don't really go looking for it, but far away from the city lights, it's more present than you might think. I take it you're from Europe? Well we got a lot more empty space than you, so there's probably a lot more space for the ghosts, goblins, and ghoulies to hide away from prying eyes. >>96675657See Were-bull was the first thought we had, but it doesn't track. If a werewolf is that hard to put down, you'd figure a were-bull would be even tougher, but he went down relatively easy. No silver bullets needed, just a decent amount of normal lead. And then there was the skin. I'm hardly an expert, but I've never heard of Werewolves needing an animal skin to shift. His property was covered in dead animal parts, all bovine. And there was absolutely nothing Cainite about him. No vitae we could smell anywhere on the property. No signs of Tremere witchcraft. In my experience, most "weird stuff" out there doesn't track to what the so called occult experts say.
I've allways had Kin and Kin bitch and moaning >Why spend decades learning to recreate food and drinkBecause I've gotten enough boons to buy half the city by selling blood watermelon and blood bread Do you know how many buckets of blood it takes just to make one watermelon?29Got a sweet fucking magic AK from a Baron one time in exchange for making him a single hamburger Took six years to get the pickles right
>>96671539You know what must be done. Make sure he is unaware of blood alchemy, last thing you want is for him to get any ideas about breaching. How was Egypt? See anything interesting from the mummies? Did the sand say anything?
>>96674925Not me specifically, but I heard that Banshee moved to San Francisco. The weird thing is that she somehow managed to sooth a beast made for hunting kindred and even domesticated it. Only with a lullaby and a some of her own vitae. Normally that thing can bleed dry at least 3 to 5 kindred, but somehow she managed with only a few pints of her own blood.Weird thing is that new beast of her, called Barky, is some kind of dog… if that dog was almost the size of a bear. Alongside potence and fortitude. Also it doesn’t have a face except for a mouth. Did I also mention that the thing’s skin is made of wood?>>96675820Oh that’d be fun! By the way, setites work for which sect? I’m curious if you’d bolster a faction or turn this three way war into a four way fuster cluck!>>96675917Do you believe that if I tear a leprechaun to shreds they’ll bleed lucky charms?>>96675966Just saying, if you’re short on vitae just send me the bones and meat of any humans my way. With like two meatbags I probably can make you a watermelon and then some>>96676192For now I’m laying low. Plus he’s too fun to kill!And have you seen how fast he grows?He went from beginner in Celerity and Fortitude, to expert in less than two weeks. Without anyone helping him!Now he’s about to join the sheriff and her hounds in a “vampire boot camp”. I wonder how far he’ll grow?
>>96675908Hit by fuel truck. Sabbat. Firefight. Pulled from car by Harry. Separated from Christopher and Wu. Other ghouls dead. Arm broken. Can't move legs. Need time to heal. Must hide.
>>96676411Working on something a little larger than my usual index card scribbles. Inspired by something that happened to my Brujah LARP character.

>>96676438looks p cool@delegationalDegenerate >>96670346 Ah, too bad. But now I know it exists, I can probably ask one of my acquaintance once he comes back from his apprenticeship. You were expecting her to ditch you in a few years but, it doesn't sound like that to me in your report. You might be part of this "family" for good. I could also be dead wrong, you never know with these millenaries, but... @Nomad_Unlife >>96675949 I didn't see it like that, but it makes perfect sense.
>>96676538Dead I am the oneExterminator sonSlipping through the trees Strangling the breezePoetry aside, has anyone ever met Rob Zombie? I swear he had to AT LEAST be a toreador ghoul. Maybe some hybrid. I don’t fucking know. >>96676411>>96676438Take care cara mia!
>>96677785Under calm waterLies a shark, ever the clownCall me Pennywise
You desire the little things the most as a vampire Like creamed crackers and snake on your cellphone
>>96677785I'm safe and sound now. We managed to evade our pursuers and hunkered down in a closed down restaurant. Healing my injuries took a significant quantity of vitae though, so I need to find a suitable vessel to feed from, then we'll try to rendezvous with Baron Christopher and Monsieur Wu.>>96676300As a Follower of Set, I don't have any particular sect allegiance. These nights I do mostly work with the Anarchs thanks to my association with Baron Christopher, but it is mutually beneficial arrangement not a true alliance.
Heard there was a new group of Hunters in LA that were quite successful for a while. Had veterans, thieves, professional boxers, etc. Hell, I’ve even heard there was an inquisitor from the Vatican too able to do some divine magic.Though the one that interested me most was the girl. Heard that she could turn into a ghost and interact with the ghost world like the Giovannis. Also wasn’t shy about torturing a bloke for infos. Sadly… the group fell apart, which is a shame. That teenage psycho was an interesting character.
And my boy is back up and at em. Finally we can leave Fiend-land! We're currently weighing if we should head out west or go to the east coast. Malk is still worried about wolves. Less wolves out east, but more vampires, many of whom aren't our biggest fans. Any thoughts? >>96676511Little late to the party pal. Ancient sin though... you mean anything by that or are you just being flowery about some turn of the century guys resorting to cannibalism?>>96676624Yeah I love this country, despite it all. One of these nights we need to get an aircraft and go on a world tour, but I understand that we might need to ghoul a professional smuggling pilot if we wanted to not get shot down by a jet.
>>96682002yeah, a shame
>>96679193it really is a character flaw>Oh hey every meal is fucking blow man but don't you really miss the little saltines? Man I'm so sad about the saltines. Fucking posers.
>>96682662Red Night, oh pardon me, RED NIGHTIs that you? You know we live in the same island/city, right?If it’s a new guy, I already said that I live in Paragon, USA, in the Caribbean. As to where exactly… we don’t have a Tremere chantry so I’m not inclined to answer.If you’re a hunter, just know that 60+ of your colleagues just died in an assault on the Cammies’ elysium at the museum. Heard that the vigilante and his crew intercepted your cargo of military grade guns with magic bullets that can kill us but with merely a graze. So you bozos in desperation mounted an assault (that RED NIGHT managed to take away the element of surprise by notifying the sheriff and her hounds)… and the Superhero along some other guests totally tore your friends to shreds. He definitely doesn’t have Batman’s no-kill rule, that’s for sure.
Thread seems deader than we areWell here’s some news some contacts provided me from San Francisco:Gangrels admitted to using fae blood to water some plants alongside kindred blood magic. Turns out that created plant monsters, they named those mandrakes, that feeds on blood. Whatever they feed on they take its aspect and powers.Banshee’s new doggy just happens to be a mandrake that fed on a stray dog first. Also the beast inherited some variation of Melpominee. With a silent bark it can shatter glass and steel.
>>96687405NOW we're TALKINGWHERE do you find fae blood tho
>>96682662Damned spooks, for people who are into secrecy you just can't keep quiet. We're supposed to quietly observe. I swear the standards for who gets initiated just keep getting lower and lower...

>>96682618went down in times of old,when the land was bleak and cold.Less by chance, they still had pantsThen clothes should give the story told.
>>96687405I post under great duress.Nights have been dramaticThe Lycans and sabbat attacked the city.The prince sent the sherriff out, He is dust now, a pack of wormy lycans got him.The past nights have been territory battles, extreme turf wars.It got worse. Someone had a methuselahs coffin stashed deep bemeath the city. They woke it up.I've had to hide myself in my haven with a supply of bloodbags. The camarilla will be here to dispose of it tomorrow night.The whole community is in ruins. Anyome want me to spin some stuff from the cobweb to brighten the mood?
>>96690349How did you get the word of the sabbat/lupine attack out to neighboring domains?
>>96690592I had a runner move through the sewers. He lost an arm to a worm ridden lycan. The prince sent out the sherriff, the sabbat pulled him in with a fake retreat. 4 werewolves spiralled around him and bisected him. I was gone by the time they were tearing in, what am i going to do against creatures already that mad?
>>96674925I obviously have very little experience with much spooky shit, and what little I do have like the shadow cancer jar probably qualifies, but I don't want to spill too much of my Sire's private affairs. But there was this one time before I got turned. I didn't really think much of it at the time, just felt easier to avoid that, plus I figured it's just sleep deprivation. Besides, nothing really came of it, so it was just a one-off, strange incident I got to write off easily. But every night I come onto this place and find out new, horrid things like 'fairies apparently exist???', so I am kind of rethinking things.>Around a year ago, same time of year, give or take.>Sitting in the university library, at like three in the morning. >It's fairly shitty. An old stone building that got refurbished like ten years ago, but it's cold as fuck, especially at night.>Nobody else around, the librarian (a student intern who got fired like a week later, apparently got caught smoking weed in the library) dipped out early and trusted me with the keys. >I was really, really behind on some writeups and some assignments, and since they were the sort I couldn't just bullshit or flirt my way through as I did with some other classes, I had to just sit down and do them. A few required me to go look up actual journals, just to pad out the citation count.>Too cheap to pay for the journal subscriptions I need, and my ISP considers piracy a grand sin so that's not an option. Accordingly, the shitty library computer was the only way out.>Slowly start to nod off because I've spent a month running myself ragged between trying to attend classes, nearly falling asleep during them, working out, going to auditions for stuff and trying to find modeling gigs.
>>96690677>Working on about a day and a half of sleep deprivation. When I still needed normal sleep, and got to that point, actually falling asleep was a huge pain. I'd get some sort of vague phantom noise, like indistinct people arguing, shouting. Really weird but not much of a problem.>Get another case of this, just as I nod off. Weird, vague shouting, though it's less an argument and more rushing somewhere.>Blink awake. >There's some sort of vague, black-red pile of stuff to the side, and a horrid, half-sweet, half-burnt stench in my nose. Like plastic and paper mixed with a barbecue somebody forgot about. >Turn my head because I'm confused as fuck and operate just on sleep-deprivation instinct.>There's nothing there. The stench is gone.>Go back to work, figuring that this is all a sign I need to finish up for the night and go get some sleep before morning classes.>Naturally, instead of quickly finishing the citation hunt and leaving, I instead nod off again.>And again I hear shouting, though this time it's more distinct and kind of anxious. Less 'arguing', more 'rushing somewhere'. >No mystery blobs of red-black in the left corner of my vision, but the stench is far worse, acrid, and comes from the other side.>Turn that way.>See a figure of some sort just about walk behind a shelf. >Looks like a really lean, really tall, emaciated or burnt to a crisp person. Can't tell for sure. Looks less like a brisket and more like charcoal. Less than half a second, all in all, blink-and-you-miss it kind of a thing. >Can hear it fucking walk, step after step, though all I can see, since it fled behind a shelf, are vague footmarks of char and ash on the shitty carpet the library had, right where it walked. It's so extremely quiet that I can keep on hearing the steps in the back of my head, seemingly circling around the room, even though I can't see it, or figure out where is it even trying to get to.
>>96690685>As would anybody normal I freak the fuck out, jump up off of my seat, glancing around and trying to shake off whatever this is. The stench's still there, and the longer I feel it, the woozier my head gets. Can't focus on anything, not on the footsteps or the distant shouting.>Wonder if I am having a stroke or some shit, or maybe I just sat in just the perfect way to compress an artery in my neck or something. Don't really have heart disease or aneurysms in my family history, but 'sudden and irreversible brain damage' was about the only explanation that worked, in my opinion. >Blink a few times, the marks on the carpet don't go anywhere.>Step closer to the trail of marks on the carpet. >The stench gets weaker.>Step away, because what the fuck am I doing, stepping closer to mystery cinder-prints in the carpet.>It gets so much worse I nearly vomit.>Feel like I really, really need the air, at this point, just to wake up properly because this is just not normal.>Go along the trails, trying to not look into them, because they conveniently lead to the nearest window. It's locked shut. Reach in my pocket for the library key, don't find it there, freak out again, but then I spot the key on a shelf near the window.>Sure as shit did not put it there.>I open the window. The stench let up really, really quick, thanks to that, I'm still feeling like I can't breathe right, so I stay there for a few minutes, holding onto the window frame. >Eventually go back to the computer, feeling like I'm about to pass out. >Remember the carpet marks, look back at them, they're not there.>Write this all off as a real sign I need to go get some fucking sleep, wrap up my work, put it on my flash drive and fucking bail on the library. Get home, crash asleep, end up sleeping through a day, nearly flunk out of university because of a cavalcade of fuckups but end up staying in it long enough to get Embraced.Never went back to that library. Creepy fucking place.
>>96687405Have you thought of adding some toothy friends to your entourage, Monsieur Shark? Some sharks travel in schools after all. It would add a new layer to the phrase feeding frenzy.>>96690349Sounds like a chaotic situation. I can relate. Bonne chance à toi, mon ami.I am interested in more news. Helps distract me from my own problems.
