>>96896081>>what's your favorite crime to use as a cover-up for feedingIs this for when you overdo it and the cattle dies or...when you just normally feed from them.
>>96896081Illegal Border Crossing. Working for ICE has nice perks aside from the hefty signing bonus. None of those kine exist until you process the paperwork on them so if you just don't... Look there's a reason the Cam spends so much effort to keep the border as porous as a colander.>>96891901Trust me on this... the right words can do more damage than sunlight. Thinking about how our bloodlines interact with our disciplines and all I finally figured the special trick to Dementation. You can really drive it home with just the right words. For some it's as simple as asking if a hot dog is a taco. For others it's about asking how they REALLY feel about something and using a bit of magic to force them to be honest with themselves. Then the cognitive dissonance takes care if the rest.
>>96894706>Como se dice “chaise lounge” en francais?The answer, you cheeky little fiend, is chaise longue. It means "long chair.">>96895258I see you are up to your usual shenanigans, Monsieur Shark. I wish you the best of luck. In the unlikely event your adventures carry you to Egypt, stop by Cairo and say hello to my younger self. You can find me in the part of the city they call "Old Cairo" performing as belly dancer in a small cabaret, in between my visits to The Dream Court.>>96896081When not partaking of blood freely given by my students, I usually act as a "good samaritan" helping some hapless drunk or other unfortunate to find help. At least until I can pass them off to someone else. As for killing a vessel... well there is a benefit to knowing the Samedi crimelord who controls the coroner's office.

At least until I can pass them off to someone else. As for killing a vessel... well there is a benefit to knowing the Samedi crimelord who controls the coroner's office.Best solutions usually are a mugging/robbery gone wrong, stab/shoot them a few times and you might pass it off like the corpse got dumped from somewhere else, hell burn it or dump it on the nearest river or docks, cops might think it was the mafia or a crime of passion from a close person.The cheekiest thing you could do, which is a good way to create some chaos in enemy lines, pick a gender/race/age group, create a pattern of victims, then create a pattern of coverups, maybe all of them have a slit throat or well a quirk to attract investigators, eventually you will have the boys in blue trying to find an imaginary serial killer for months completely locking down a city area and worse closing the feeding grounds of those who oppose you.But hey you didn't hear it from me.
Hello, is it acceptable to ask for advices?I have been embraced two months ago. Since then, my sire has confined me to her lodgings so that I do not embarass her. She taught me many things, but three weeks ago she left and did not return since. She left no specifics instructions, nor did she mention she would be gone for so long. I have run out of stored blood a little while ago but I am not allowed to go out on my own yet. Is this some sort of test? Should I be concerned...?
>>96896786Do you know your clan?
>>96896788I have some suspicions but no outright confirmation. My sire deemed it more interesting to let me guess with the elements she gave me,. I'm fairly sure I'm not a Nosferatu, at least. Unless her description was very hyperbolic.
>>96897904>>96896786Do you know your generation? Also quick elimination. Do you have a reflection in the mirror?Does a cross burn to be around?Do you feel extra artistic?Are you unreasobaly angry for no damn good reason?Are you now a wizard? Are you in all ways but physical, a wolf and go awoo?Are you really into ancient egypt for no good reason as well?Did your sire have a “leather” couch that quirky sobbed when sat upon?Do you think you’re better than everyone and have the net worth to prove it?You already know you’re not a test-tube crack baby looking SoB. Think that’s all the important clans.
>>96898602You forgot:Do you hear voices in your head? Do these voices sometimes give you surprisingly accurate insights?Do you really, really, REALLY want to suck on another vampire?Was your sire related to you? Did they talk about "keeping it in the family?"
>>96896081>what's your favorite crime to use as a cover-up for feedingyoure talking about accidental kills, yeah? i dont fuck around with feeding on things that are criminal to kill, but my go to for coterie mates who fuck up is to make it look like they died in some sorta fire. a body burnt to shit is a body you cant as easily work out the cause of death from. >>96896786>Is this some sort of test? Should I be concerned...?yeah, id be worried. first thing you wanna do is make sure you find an easy source of blood. something that will keep you from frenzying in a nightclub and ripping the masquerade a new one. because no prince is going to be happy if some unknown newborn stumbles into court with a list of violations a mile long. also, your sire is probably dead, sorry. like, if i were a bookie assigning odds to her survival, id be thinking 35:1.
BrujahGODS tomorrow is OUR DAY.
>>96896786Kid, if you're in LA come find me. I'll straighten you out.>>96902575Am I missing something? What are you on about?
sorry for not posting, busy with life, got infections to fight off, and a shit memory. Greetings friends, this has been a more eventful however long it's been since I last posted. Turns out the eldest childe is a dickhead alongside being a kleptomaniac. Murderous pranks aside it'll be a bit before I get everything cleaned up as most of the staff are dead because that old bastard decided to leave a present. -KakophoniAlso if anyone has experience with breaking spells and enchantments please let me know.
>>96903464>Am I missing something? What are you on about?Remember that whole business with the gunpowder plot in London? Never heard anything about the Brujah being involved in it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
>>96896081Love the image, reminds me of Mi calliente <3She's moved to Texas fully now! Definitely going to plan a trip to her Haven.So Kindred, How fares your evening? What weaves your webs? Anyone wish to hear what the Cobweb whispers to me?
>>96898602>>96899902Yes, my sire spoke of the clans at length, and pointed me to some documents of her library as well. My best guesses would be Toreador or maybe Ventrue, but I think she made a game of throwing red herrings at me. She left no mirrors within reach, for exemple, but my reflection seem normal enough in water or glass. She have a number of egyptian artefacts and tomes, but some of others origins as well. Some nights she'd have her orchids sing, come the morning, but they still seem to be orchids, not fleshy flowers.She made no mention of generations.Is this revelant to my situation?>>96901541That's... very worrying. What make you so sure?>>96903464I'm grateful for the offer, but I'm very far away from LA.Hunger is growing increasingly difficult to ignore. I'll try to leave the haven and find something tonight.
>>96904728Welcome to the night. Beware the beast. Slake your hunger, but never drink the guiltless dry, lest you lose one more link is in your chain. If you let the wolf out unchained, it will devour you forever. You are a butcher amidst cows, be wary that the bovines do not see the seams in your mask slip, lest they start to buzz and heat ball you.
>>96904728I guess you’ll find out if you’re venture or not when you feed on a hobo and get sick. They have “refined” palates. I’ll send you some vitae wine though. Should be a good back up if you can’t suck off the homeless. >>96899902Ah, thank you my dear. I thought I was forgetting something. >>96904649Yo, send her up my way. Far too many fiends in my neck of the woods. And you know I love your web whispers.
>>96904129Gimme specifics of the spell and enchantment you purely theoretically need to break, and how loud and obnoxious you can be about it. >>96904728Bottomfeeder is generally fairly pessimistic, which comes with the territory of being a Nosferatu. That said, your Sire really is most probably dead or otherwise indisposed, or she's even more forgetful than is the norm for a Toreador and you were abandoned. Going to bet on 'dead', though.I suggest trying to visit night clubs and such, for feeding. They're good spots, and a hookup is easy blood. Just be mindful to not drink whoever you're with dry.
>>96905954Lost my name again. I'm starting to guess that giving out that ritual for Nomad was actually a bad idea and somebody's discontent with me, the constant technical difficulties are feeling a bit more like a pattern than they should.
>>96904129be advised, if you are on antibiotics for that infection: that is not a fart. I repeat: That is NOT a fart. Just in case no one told you outright, diarrhea is a common side effect of antibiotics.
>>96906775 HOLY SHIT I'M BLASTING OUT OF BOTH ENDS, MY HEART'S A SEIZIN, MY LUNGS A WHEEZIN, THE FUCKIN WALLS ARE MELTING AND I CAN HEAR SATAN'S VOICE TELLIN ME TO INVEST IN APPLE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?! WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO INVEST IN APPLES?!?! bonus points if you correctly guess where it's from
>>96904728im sure cause most clans have their own ways of looking after childe. outside a few, they dont usually involve leaving the childe to their own devices for extended periods. but, hey, we can run down the list of clans which do that sorta thing and see what it means for you:>brujahma went out to the blood bank for a bag of blood and never came home. basically youd have yourself a deadbeat sire, unreliable but not necessarily out of the picture.>toreadoryour sire got bored. not even joking. toreador always freak me out with how short their attention spans are. i dont think you have much of a chance of getting her to look your way in that scenario, so youd be on your own.>gangreldeliberate abandonment. you need to swim instead of sink and your sire will probably be happy to take you back in. if you can find her, that is. i hear gangrel sires love to make themselves hard to find as part of their tests.its a shit situation, chief. no point in lying to you about it. if you can stomach it, animals are a reliable and inconspicuous source for blood. guess you should follow your gut and see what sort of prey comes naturally to you, though.
>>96906853 Holy shit is that a Sam O’Nella reference in OUR VTM roleplay thread??? It’s more likely than you think!
>>96896081That's a nice idea for a thread
>>96905954A kine staff member got an enchanted artifact latched onto him and we couldn't get it off, he's gone berserk and shooting him in the head didn't work. Fortunately we managed to solve the issue however we are now very weary of other trick the eldest childe might have pulled.
Hello friends, been a couple nights since I last popped in. Things are going well and nothing has exploded yet so I'm feeling somewhat hopeful for the nights ahead of me.>>96896081I have yet to kill while feeding, but once I had someone walk in on me and the human I was feeding on. Luckily bloodloss and drunkenness are similar so I just pretended to be hammered myself and like we were simply getting frisky. As a rule I prefer to stick to bagged, even with Ghouls around. Helps keep my head on straight.>>96904728In my rather personal experience, the best advice I can give you is so; Feed carefully, you never know what someone is on or what part of town you're in. Feed slowly, it's preferable to under-eat than over-eat. One leaves you peckish, the other with a body. Carry rubbing alcohol to swish around your mouth after feeding. Don't swallow, but it won't kill you just make you puke. Find a marketable skill and use it. I've become a tattoo artist postmortem for example.>>96905959Could very well be just bad luck, but I'll PM you some stuff I've got about ritual and curse breaking that might help.>>96908145I'll send the same to you. I'm less familiar with enchanted items than I am spellwork, but there's hopefully some stuff in there to help. While it rankles slightly to admit, I've not known many of my fellow Warlocks to be very good with curse breaking.
I forget who asked me but:I've reached out to the thin-blooded alchemists, they have yet to respond
Which clan is it easiest to pass oneself off as, preferably with the least knowledge required? Asking for a friend.
>>96909361ravnos, cause everyone naturally avoid you after you say that
>>96909397SWIM is looking to NOT be run out of court.
>>96909417shouldda said sosecond best is brujah, they embrace anything
>>96904728Is the local prince or baron aware of your existence? Have you been introduced to them? If not, that's probably something you should do sooner rather than later. They may even know what happened to your sire.
>>96908214That would've been for me. I'm still doubtful I'll manage to figure it out and have a few locals I've been in talks with about it. Who knows though.>>96909361Most people I know don't actually share their Clans with others unless they're close or a specific Discipline is needed for something. Other than that, Brujah. They seem to come in the widest assortment of types due to their Embracing practices (not a lack of them, just a wider pool). Just pretend to have strong opinions about politics from your Kine days and nobody will bat an eye.>>96909465This. Even Barons like to know when newcomers show up, let alone a fresh Embrace.
Can't wait to leave this city, supposedly the tropical storm is over so we can head back to the coast of Florida without issue, I haven't checked the news cycle to see what's the situation.Not that it matters my residence there was not static but I don't want to have to scram for a heaven after 3 hours of travel no matter how comfortable the jet is.
>>96909361I concur with prior statements that Brujah are the easiest to masquerade as. I will also state that Prince Bey of Cairo has an open invitation to all Caitiff, should have the means to travel there and be so inclined.>>96909861The weather is clear here, and expected to remain so for at least the next week. If you pass through the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area, use extra caution: the Camarilla and Anarchs are on a war footing in response to frequent incursions from the surrounding Sabbat territories and are likely to be very suspicious of any out of town Kindred passing through.
