>Thread questionWherever I go, my relationship with the Ventrue is as solid as ever, though I have to say I'm growing more interested in Malkavians lately.
Free readings are still on the table for whoever feels like entrusting a Tremere stranger with their future! Or past, or present, I'm bored and easily swayed.The procedure's fairly simple:>Declare your interest, one of the following:>Answer to a question;>Portent of the future;>Elaboration upon the past;>Nature of the present; >Guidance on a subject;>Something else you think the cards could maybe tell you.>Think hard on whatever it is you want scryed.>Give me an anchor without overdetailing things, if you feel like it, it's not necessary and sometimes harms more than it helps. The point of this is to advertise what I can do with my cards and give you a bit of a mystic hint, not air out your dirty laundry in great detail.>Once you get your portent, and feel appropriately amazed, keep me in mind for the future ;)>>97131386>What's your favorite clan after your own?I love Nossies. Whenever somebody upsets me, I can just hire a Nossie to spy on them, to pretend like I'm investing all of my time into scrying the shit out of this person. Or let them think I've hired a Nossie to do that, let them put up all sorts of cute traps and defences, and then just have my cards tell me everything there is to know about them, all while the Nossie just hangs at my place, drinks my bags, and criticizes the cable work at my haven. Very fun. Also, they're naturally info-addicted and stricken with fear of the future, and are thus good patrons. Toreadors are a close second, though. They're so extra, so pretty, and nine times out of ten their interest is in portents so unlikely to get me killed, it's a total relief. And they're usually about actually interesting subjects! If I have to scry another fucking crypto chart this week for some Ventrue, I will scream.
>>97132522>If I have to scry another fucking crypto chart this week for some Ventrue, I will scream.Good eeeevening!!! When do I sell my Bitcoins!?I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I'm not selling any BTC this week.
>>97132522Dear Tremere 8-Ball, can I trust this ravnos when she says I can learn chimerstry easily in seven silmple steps?
>TQI don't have favourites, but I have people who I understand.Ravs, Tzis, Toris. Weird selection but that's what a long while of wandering errant does for you. Hell, in some cases I think I know Ravs better than I know my own blood. Outside of the odder things I have for the family 'grandmother.' Suppose I have a Tori to thank for that though.>>97132522Where is my fucking cat.
>>97133116sorry
How to you counter some Ghoul side effects
>>97134727>BEHOLD A MAN!You stop feeding them blood
>>97132522A portent of the future. Have a feeling something is being plotted. Downright conspired even. >TQI’d say I’d cherish the Malkavians. Their minds broken by forbidden knowledge, forced to give niche but horrifyingly accurate information to the wrong people. Sire always told me to pity them. Beyond that, Lasombra are interesting but damned back stabby.
>>97131386>TQDon't really have one but if I have to pick then Malkavians, one of the kindred in my haven is one that suffers particularly bad episodes and I usually sing to them to calm them. Well..... used to anyway.-Kakophoni
>>97127775>Staking some guy in the nads over and over>My kind of woman, I'm over here swooning and shit.Haha I get that a lot!>>97127703>Kine or kindred, the new generations only get worse at talking to girls.But do I blame them? Boys from the current year are afraid of saying me or my clothing is pretty, even as they're unable to stop staring at me - not to mention they don't dare tell me I have nice tiddies - and girls are taught it's a form of power and intimidation. In this particular case the boys aren't even wrong and should be scared shitless for once, but still! Why do I have to make the first move like six times out of ten to get my under 23 dinner? This is getting ridiculous!Let's schedule a symposium on approach anxiety and the disappearance of sexual scripts, and title it: Attraction Giving Way to Fear.>Let's go explore together, we can take turns driving.Fair.>Yes, you get to choose the music.HNNNNNGGG OPPA HAS SUCH A WAY WITH WORDS WHERE DID MOM FIND YOU
>>97132681The cards tell me you should invest into Vlad-Dracoin this instant.>>97133031Call me a Tremere 8-Ball again and I'll draw portents for when you'll be castrated. Also, I don't think you should do this, but the cards say the following, on a three-card spread:>Her?Knight Of Pentacles - Reversed. Exaggeration; stupidity; deception. She's tricking you, or herself, or somebody else is getting played, potentially neither of you.>How good of an idea is it to trust her?Ace Of Swords - Upright. Reason; clarity; wisdom; wit. Somehow, you might just perservere if you approach this analytically and competently. Maybe she's unwell, but also happens to actually be capable of teaching you something.>What's the over-under on me learning a Discipline this quick and easy? Page Of Wands - Upright. Growth; chance; opportunity. The card is, perhaps, saying that this truly is an opportunity of the sort it claims to be.But altogether, it could be that so long as you approach the Ravnos with a clear mind and a mindset for growth, no matter how foolish or deceptive she may be, you'll emerge better off.>>97133116Oof, potent and personal. Three will do for this.>Cat where?Six Of Swords - Upright. Peaceful change; transition; improvement of things. Somewhere ahead of you lies a future where you'll be calm and at peace, far as your cat's status goes.>How get cat?Five Of Swords - Upright. Two in a row is funny. Bitterness; battle; betrayal. Pursuing your cat by your current, chosen means is in folly.>But WHERE CAT?Five of Pentacles - Upright. Vulnerability; lack of security; need of aid. Seek allies and helpers, they're the path out of your predicament.Seems like whatever you're doing has the cards figure you're not doing well, that eventually you will, however, succeed, and that you should seek good friends to help you get your kitty back. Best of luck. I'd offer my coterie's aid, because I like cats, but at this rate we'll be knee-deep in Garou, so we're a bit busy.
>>97135079Ooh, a complex one. Let's go with five.>Am I in peril?Temperance - Upright. Balance, moderation, neutrality; you're neither in great threat nor great stability, as-is.>What sort of future looms ahead of me?The Empress - Reversed. Neglect; abandon; lack of nurture. That which should've been attended to, whether yourself or your interests or your cohort, is ignored and thus at risk, or is source of risk.>What is my weakness?The Emperor - Upright. Authority; power; order. Whoever is out to get you, may get at you through the gaps in your defenses relating to your position in the world, or in Kindred society, or at your strength, something direct and blunt.>What is my strength in this?Nine of Cups - Upright. Joys in life; celebration; present blessings. Whatever it is that you have that brings you great relief in life, fortune and happiness, is what the cards say would be your way out of your perils.>What is the nature of my enemy?Ace of Wands - Upright. New beginnings; boldness; excitable novelty. Something new, something bold, something energetic and lively, something that wasn't there before yet is now. In more direct readings the card conveys that you should embrace life, carpe diem, all that shit. In hostile terms, maybe you're up against an ambitious fledgling who do not know their place, and will undermine your position of authority in a way that has you fall back onto your anchors, your rocks. Maybe they get to do so because you, in greed, fear, hyperfixation or whatever, neglect to maintain your standing. Or maybe it's something else entirely, Chelys Rex.One more card, drawn with no question to it:Death - Reversed. Refusal to let go; persistence beyond good reason; fear of letting go of the past. Typically a suggestion to embrace the unknown, to let go of that which lingers and let life change, to no longer trap yourself in stagnation. Hell of a card to draw, for Kindred in your position getting a reading, eh?
>>97136283Ooh, the card flipped upright on posting. Now that's freaky. You have fun with literal fledglings or metaphorical novel movements, Chelys, I don't like it when my cards get uppity, that's a portent of >>97136264Adding a little to this, @G4ROU, in the case the cards are uppity because they wanted me to read them differently. If we go the VERY literal path, your cat's somewhere beyond usual cat ranges. Or usual you-ranges, even, past a boundary of some sort. Traveling is necessary. Look somewhere fairly cold and hidden. Possibly places you wouldn't even search. Your current approach to finding it won't work, probably. You happen to annoy any Garou enough for them to kidnap your cat and take it to the Umbra, by any chance?
>>97136207Time for some sagely advice from Oppa, then.1. Boys think you're out of their league, and they're right, you're a fucking goddess.2. Be real with me, who the fuck can afford you under the age of 23? The son of the Russian oligarch from the movie Anora, who doesn't own a single thing? Come on now. Adolescence never seems to end these nights.3. Boys are afraid of what you and/or their fellow men will do to them if they make the slightest mistake, of if they displease or anger you. The hotter you are, the greater this fear.4. I assure you it is very pleasant for a man to unleash the beast (lower case b) and to be allowed to commit unspeakable acts of violence while saving a beautiful lady and ultimately being socially justified, validated and righteous. I experience this even these nights, and unlike you I am not a sadist who would throw sexual pleasure into the mix.5. We can happily conclude that your average boy may not try to approach or touch you spontaneously. Do you really want to spend a few minutes into the hands of the most stupid and lecherous?6. New sexual and romantic mores call for different tactics.7. As flowery our verbiage might be, in the end vampires are little more than scammers, we just want people's blood instead.8. At the party I met this clever fledgling lady who introduced me to a hunting strategy she developed. She pretends to be a victim of abuse asking a man for shelter. Out of curiosity, I asked her to try it on me while I played the part of the mortal, she'd say things like: "No, don't call the police, he's over there. Quiet! Don't draw his attention.", and so on. I shit you not, I was this close to frenzying, and you know how hard it is to reduce me to that state. She then showed me her victims' donations to her OnlyFans. This bitch will go places.
>>97131386>TQWithout a doubt, the Unicorns. They were the best of us, and i would gladly help one if given the chance.In the meantime, heres some more web words>HE IS ALMOST HERE>Gingerbread is up 56%>The secret to winning Jyhad is ?v=LPE7dAnJj2s>yummers>DUMP $SHELF>Its coming for you...>Beware Krampus>HE CANT KEEP GETTING JOLLY WITH IT!>Thunderbirds are go!>>97135079Resident jester here, i appreciate your kindness! I could say theres 456791 ways to thank you for that, if only i was able :)>>97136283Deckmaster, what does the Jack of diamonds say?
>>97136207>>971363949. I understand how validating it can be to have kine compelely inebraited with eros in your presence, but I think it's about time you and I have a little conversation, the kind of conversation I was hoping you'd have with Mother before me.10. You must have noticed Mother orders mortals around, including complete strangers, as if they were her slaves, and I don't mean the happy SM slaves, such as me, either.11. Mother fully understands, enjoys and exploits the superiority of her status, for example: wisdom over ignorance, pale skin over nonwhiteness, nobility over the third estate, beauty over ugliness, fitness over weakness, real fur over faux, skill over mediocrity, reputation over obscurity, freedom over bondage, parent over child, age over youth, riches over rags, predator over prey, kindred over kine, contemporary woman over her fellow man.12. You've survived enough nights and it's about time you start playing the part too.Think of it as a second embrace, or a second part of it. Come join us, little sister, and play the games of grown-ups.
>>97134727Don't get sired with spoiled blood you stupid Nozzie
>>97136207>>97136394>>97136467I made my decision: instead of holding a symposium solely to complain about mortals in their twenties, we'll be doing something much more urgent: we are sending Blue Fairy, and Princess Charming while we're at it, to cram school, wherein both of them will be able to revise multiple subjects, starting from kindred-kine relations.
>>97136789MOTHER PLEASE HAVE MERCY
>>97136803Begging so soon, darling? For my mercy? You're looking at it. Feel your mother's lovingkindess, my angel.
>>97131386>What's your favorite clan after your own?I'm new here but it's a three-way tie between Gangrel, Nosferatu and Malkavian. I love the woods and animals, I can also be a walking masquerade breach some days, and I'm crazy like a fox. Guess my clan?
>>97136264>The cards tell me you should invest into Vlad-Dracoin this instant.Apologies for not believing in the heart of the cards, but in the end I decided I'll wait for the moment to get some gold instead.>>97136789I'm so grateful for this learning opportunity, I'll be sure to help Blue Fairy in her studies. We'll definitely make you proud, Mamma!>>97136825Wow.>>97137530Tzimisce? Brujah? Caitiff? I'll admit I'm bad at this kind of game.
>>97137590You got it on the first try.
>>97136264>>97136318More personal than I think I realized. Don't know if you were in the last thread but right now up here in North Michigan... We've been having a really bad time.The advice is appreciated though. Should you find yourself in Marquette (after things disperse) drop a location and I'll take you for a night out.If I survive anyways. I'm half the girl I used to be.>>97136397Any advice on the porcellain doll and the walking hill in league with the gingerbread man.
>>97132218OH BROTHER THIS GUY STINKS.https://youtu.be/ifaoKZfQpdA
>>97137875find someone to eat the gingerbread man, and smash the doll!
>>97137875>Any advice on the porcellain dollWhat is/was it like? Asking for a friend.>>97139431Rude.
>>97141673One of the trio who took the 'Cat.' [My poor Malk.]If the 'Gingerbread Man' looks like a Tzim Pet-Project that steams from it's own heat, then the Doll is a three foot fusion of a Victorian child's toy and the damn Chucky doll. Still not sure what any of the trio are, but they aren't of the blood like Gargoyles.
>Thread questionTremere! Always fun to have at least one at my red tea parties.>>97143488>Chucky dollEw! Ugly dolls do not deserve to exist!
>>97137875>Don't know if you were in the last thread but right now up here in North Michigan... We've been having a really bad time.I mostly just backread to see what my dipshit brother-of-sorts got up to. Did skimread a bit of your reports, stuff seems grim. Once it gets real rough, feel free to head our way, we got the space for a pair of Kindred willing to work for their lodgings. We'd offer it as a freebie to a guest, but nobody ever takes Tremere charity. >Should you find yourself in Marquette (after things disperse) drop a location and I'll take you for a night out.Sweet offer, babes! I'll keep it in mind, even if I'd rather let a Tzimisce body-mod me than go outside of my immediate surroundings for any reason besides, like, a complete emergency. It really is sweet though.>If I survive anyways. I'm half the girl I used to be.Oh, don't be melodramatic. The cards didn't scream about your immediate and painful demise, and instead suggested that finding your cat is possible and that there's a route for it you just didn't take yet, and I like to trust my darlings.>>97136397>Deckmaster, what does the Jack of diamonds say?Let's try and see! Jackie doesn't exist, but plenty things don't, and I can scry for them fine - love, faith, democracy, the stock market. Page of Pentacles - Upright. Good fortune; sudden prosperity; surprise boon. Whatever is up with Jack, the Diamonds seem to be literal and might just practically pour out of the ground.
>>97136825>>97136803Man, you guys are so freaky, I love it. All my adoptive family's good for is bickering and arguing over whose turn is it to water Lavender with special vitae.Speaking of, I've triumphantly drawn the second shortest stick, so instead of helping my deeply wounded sibling I get to sit around and do effectively nothing while waiting for a ritual to ripen and be ready to finalize. Love this part of the job. I do not see a single furry with monogamy issues in our immediate future, so maybe Lavender getting cooked alive, and cooking that guy, either made them decide to settle on a draw, or they just figure they've won and we'll scatter with one guy less? Hate trying to get into their heads, there's always so little, and what is there is self-righteous, mean and full of assumptions. Not like I am mean and not lacking in assumptions, but, like, I'm not very self-righteous, at least. Just smug. Rightfully so.>>97137590Drat. Y'know, I went and bought a bunch to profit off of guiding you to invest into it. There goes my sunlit Seychelles vacation budget, I guess. Sigh...>>97136394>vampires are little more than scammers, we just want people's blood instead.Hey now! I read Tarot to people, so, I also want their money. A lot of it.
>>97145997>Man, you guys are so freaky, I love it.Never a boring night in the house.>Drat. Y'know, I went and bought a bunch to profit off of guiding you to invest into it. There goes my sunlit Seychelles vacation budget, I guess. Sigh...I heard Princess Charming's giggles from the other room. For a Ventrue she's kind of a "liberal" as they call it here in the US of A for some reason, but still a conservative in certain areas, like investing.>vampires are little more than scammers, we just want people's blood instead.>Hey now! I read Tarot to people, so, I also want their money. A lot of it.I for one believe in the heart of the cards, but... you didn't deny you're a scammer!

Update on the NY thinbloods:1. An imbecile threw a punch at me, I blocked it and the distal portion of his forearm flew off. I don't know what was funnier, his face or Blue Fairy's.2. She said: "Don't worry, it grows back." then flipped him over with a low kick, he lost the leg, fell horrendously on his neck and everything that was still attached to its body broke. The fuck are these weaklings made of?3. This is the part where you question whether they even count as kindred in the first place, but they are, unbelievable as it may sound.4. Do their sires realize their bloodline is more fragile than kine? Talk about being cursed.In other news: the WRX will temporarily cease operations as it goes on a strict diet and gets a new body "heavily inspired" by Project Midnight.
>>97149574>black_wrx,jpgOk that thing is turning me on.>The fuck are these weaklings made of?Idk maybe the training paid off and we just grew stronger?Anyway, a couple hours after that "fight" we went to the club in Bridgeport, and Boy Toy asked me to come close to him like five or six times.Every time, he would whisper to his smartwatch to place an order to sell some European treasure bonds, gently move my hair away from my ear with a caress, whisper some Italian words directly in there, then smile at me. I didn't know what the hell he was doing, but I believed he did, so I smiled back.I know the guy has a fetish for my hair, among other things, and I don't blame him since we don't choose our fetishes, the fetishes choose us- wait wait wait, now that I think about it, he was in the company of a different kine girl each time? Hold on, is this what he does for dinner instead of getting women to drop their panties the hard way?That bastard, he made a wingwoman out of me, playing with me as much as he was playing with those bitches! And I didn't even realize this is was the first lesson of that "cram school" mom talked about. Oh my Caine why am I so fucking dumb.Time to invade Princess Charming's room. Fuuuuuck I need to vent so bad.
>>97136789i had some kindred-kine relations with your mom
>>97131386Shrek?
>>97152892Separated at birth.
Princess Charming blew my mind. My original plan was to get a different kind of action, though.She said that, whenever a kindred or kine speaks or act, I have to think about what could be the motive behind the words or actions, and used HalfSeeingEye's investment advice as an example. The advice was given because, were Princess Charming to act according to it, HSE would have profited from it.Then she added: "But did I ask for the cards' opinion? No. I never asked for a reading, for this product. As the say in Silicon Valley: if you're not paying for the product, chances are that you are the product."And she gave me examples like TikTok hosting videos for free, which are often too short to add advertisements to them unlike the longer streams on Twitch or videos on YouTube, but the users could still "pay" in other ways, like with their own data, which is a resource the TikTok staff could use, and profit from."Don't stop at what the words mean, discover what the person means, and wants."When I told her about Boy Toy playing me like a fiddle at the club, she taught me this thing called mimetic desire.He positioned himself as the object of desire, me as the mediator who first desires said object ("You smiled at him, right?"), and the subject in this model would be the current kine woman that sees me desiring him, and starts to desire him in turn, and would be driven to compete over him against me.She used the Bible as another example: the serpent (mediator) offers Eve (subject) the fruit of knowledge (object) promising her to become like God, which is something he wants, too. Then Eve becomes the new mediator as she offers the fruit to the new subject, Adam."Why do you think ads have testimonials?"She gave me a book by Renée Girard which discusses this model, but said that even though Boy Toy was using it, he disagrees with the author because he does not believe all human/vampiric desire works like this.Whoa. Are all Ventrues this intelligent?
>TQThis is a hard one for me, because my kids are all from different Clans, as is my girlfriend so if I don't pick one of theirs they'll get all sorts of bothered over it. So I'm going to do the fool thing and pick none of theirs. Lasombra, specifically the Kiasyd. I exchanged letters with a lovely guy from said Bloodline back a little over half a decade ago and he was whip smart and would pull the most obscure facts and details out in the middle of unrelated conversations, stuff that only barely related to the topic but would send you spiraling down rabbit holes for months or longer. He's in torpor now though so I haven't had the pleasure of talking with him in a while sadly.>>97143587Glad to see at least someone outside of the Clan can appreciate us. I know we're hard to get along with, but having a Thaumaturge on your side is always handy.>>97145997If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing to the Vitae you're feeding Lavender with? I'm always looking for ways to improve the blood I drink and if it's feasible to do en masse it might make my bags go a lot further.>>97153806Reading this has made me appreciate not being one of the more social Clans deeply. I would so much rather spend a decade reading than have to deal with interpersonal politics.
>>97149574>Do their sires realize their bloodline is more fragile than kine? Talk about being cursed.I have a hypothesis. The bloodline is not born fragile, it's made that way, unintentionally so.What if there's a neonate Tzimisce that wants to practice Vicissitude, but they're awful at it and impatient, and because your average kine is too squishy to be an ideal Guinea pig, they have to embrace their test subjects first, because the living simply couldn't take that sloppy reworking of their bone density or whatever?I'm just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.>>97153806Beloved, just imagine if you were as precise, fast and lethal with your head as you are with your feet: you'd be the Queen of the Damned in the East Coast.>>97154014>Reading this has made me appreciate not being one of the more social Clans deeply.But they all have some relatively more aloof kindred that you should find easier to relate to. Even the Clan of Kings will occasionally embrace people that aren't the usual suspects, ranging from bodyguards to cryptologists.
>>97135079>Sire always told me to pity them.Hahaha, were you always so death? I can hear your sire now. >SIRE IS SAYING BURN THEM ALL BURN THEM BEFORE TIS TOO LATE. >ITS TOO LATE>ITS TOO LATE >ITS TOO LATEhttps://youtu.be/OWYn7-yCy2Q
>>97154809>I have a hypothesis. The bloodline is not born fragile, it's made that way, unintentionally so.>What if there's a neonate Tzimisce that wants to practice Vicissitude, but they're awful at it and impatientHereditary stupidity instead of hereditary fragility, then.>Beloved, just imagine if you were as precise, fast and lethal with your head as you are with your feet: you'd be the Queen of the Damned in the East Coast.Right. What you mean to say is I need the right amount and quality of advisors and training, and that mom is far closer to such a position because she has both. You said this to motivate me. I think I got you this time, girlypop.
>>97157219My precious baby! She's beginning to believe.
>>97147089>I for one believe in the heart of the cardsMost cards don't have a heart, or soul - best believe in more grisly and horrid viscera.>you didn't deny you're a scammer!;)>>97148649You know what? I'm taking that as a win.Everybody in here! This weirdo prospers thanks to my readings. Take note. >>97153806>Then she added: "But did I ask for the cards' opinion? No. I never asked for a reading, for this product. As the say in Silicon Valley: if you're not paying for the product, chances are that you are the product."She's smart! I wasn't exactly very subtle that I'm giving out free readings as an advertising tactic and to benefit from their results if possible, but condensing the lesson down is still good. And harmless to my business model, which's clearly the most important part.>Whoa. Are all Ventrues this intelligent?God, they certainly all think they are this intelligent.>>97154014>If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing to the Vitae you're feeding Lavender with? I'm always looking for ways to improve the blood I drink and if it's feasible to do en masse it might make my bags go a lot further.Sorry, babycakes, it's a family secret. I can admit that we do a lot of stuff to the Vitae, though, but that's easy to guess. It's no random swill, it's special swill! And really finnicky to make, we'd really not bother if somebody didn't get put through a polygamous furry blender. If you really want to learn it, tell the Nossies maybe or maybe not heading your way, they'll vet you, we'll see what we can do after that. Cards are saying all sorts of funny things about whether they'll show up. Don't freak out if they do, especially if the lady with the rifle tries to spook you. She usually does that to get a reason to shoot somebody.
>>97157731>Most cards don't have a heart, or soul - best believe in more grisly and horrid viscera.1/4 of a deck of playing cards is literally hearts, but if that's not good enough I can make a deck out of living skin for you, but you have to feed the deck with your own vitae weekly, and it riffle-shuffles like shit.
This Friday night I'll be in Elysium to look for customers, and I'll be joined by Assoluta, Princess Charming and Blue Fairy.Given the success of the 1930s set, I'll continue our journey through retro fashion, in this case from the 50s, a pivotal era for women's fashion and an enduring inspiration for formally dressed kindred ladies every night since.This time, the sources of inspiration will be, top to bottom:Fiona Campbell-Walter (Assoluta)Vivien Leigh (Princess Charming)Ava Gardner (Blue Fairy)Of course, I'm avoiding exceedingly famous names such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, who essentially codified what Blue Fairy would call "Old Hollywood", and Queen Elizabeth II and Grace Kelly who did the equivalent to "Old Money."I thought of having some fur on Princess Charming's dress as a way to signify she's now part of the family. As for me, I'm not wearing anything retro myself because I want the girls to stand out, and for this same reason we won't have Venus in Furs join us, as I'm afraid strangers, and the newest acquaintances, would pretty much only talk to the woman at the helm.All three will be in Elysium as more than mere models, and while I'm trying to expand my clientele, it's not my own talents that are those most in need of advertising, after all.I'm sure this will prove to be a valuable experience for Blue Fairy. We'll hold a briefing to make her more prepared and comfortable, and a debriefing to review everything after the fact.
>>97157731Totally fair to not share it. Well, if they show up I'll do my best to impress them and also not get shot.
Happy Holidays all, sorry for not being around as I was busy.Venus, your order of furs has been made, only half of the requested animals were in supply so those are the ones being delivered.The previously mentioned Abyss Mystic is still following me, not as much since holidays have come around but I can feel some of her shadowlings stalking me. happy holidays /shrek/
>>97159245>I thought of having some fur on Princess Charming's dress as a way to signify she's now part of the family.I adore this! That's so sweet!>we won't have Venus in Furs join us, as I'm afraid strangers, and the newest acquaintances, would pretty much only talk to the woman at the helm.Ahahaha! They always do.>>97159864>Venus, your order of furs has been made, only half of the requested animals were in supply so those are the ones being delivered.Oh, don't worry, I'm used to these and other difficulties, as nothing is ever easy with these exotic species, and you always have to have some manner of plan B in this business.Rather, this is excellent news, and I would say the timing is also superb as others in the family are visiting Elysium ahead of me to pave the way for my grand entrance.Happy holidays
Update 6 Forests now speaking Lakota>Interesting things happening up here in the north. >Diaspora continues as Almost half of Marquette has evacuated or hit for the sticks. All sorts of headlines about natural disasters and allegations of anthrax and state-sponsored terror, yaddah yaddah, so I won't bore you with them here. You can just find a news site or turn on the TV for them.
>>97160999>Last Night through means not fully understood to me the Loup packs caused a series of 'disasters' that cut every railway and road connection outside of the South-East connection on the highway. As much of a 'get out before I run you down' as possible. Probing skirmishes all over although the hunters seem to have fully adapted to Loups.>Rather than withdraw and leave the city to the North-South Packs, the hunters burned out a number of kill zones to try and prepare for the inevitable. They've basically gone full blown brigand in their disposition. The bulk coming from tropical or warmer climes is also getting to them. Finally seeing desertions after the Priest in charge crucified a guy. Although the remaining number are even more belligerent and ruthless.>Which led to an incident the other day when one of their patrols entered a local American Legion bar. Apparently one of the hunters shoved someone and it escalated into a full on shoot-out. A couple locals injured and two hunters killed. After the locals scattered and the hunters burned down the bar. Despite this getting coverage both the state and the federal authorities are keeping their distance. Don't know why. Since the diarchy collapsed and the Priest took over the operation they might have lost contacts in the government, even if the 'why' of this happening is still staying their hand.>Hunters did lash out. Last night they re-occupied the University Campus although their forces are nominal, as much as they withdrew to only hold the East of the town and their areas of interest. They also razed the NWBP pharmacorp building in the same operation and almost got Teddy killed in the process. That was the largest reservoir of bio-products (IE; Blood) for the Peninsula beside North and South Dakota. Which is just... Great. Even if we 'win' odds are most of the community will need to move out as the leech-line with that building allowed us to have a disproportionately large population.
>>97161086>Despite this we have something of a coalition move in the works. Mostly focused on 'Beheading and Behanding' the snake, and sealing up the nightmare hiding under a certain educational institution. Aided by unlikely allies. Multiple. I won't disclose too much until it comes to pass but a lot of folks are in the move. >I personally provided all the information I could for the move, but I have my own date. Going after the Malk and the freakish Trio beside some new 'friends' (primarily an absolute beast of a lad who I will call for you 'Big-Pipe-Club.') All while orchestrating a counter conspiracy. Something is rotten and I'm getting to the bottom of it.>Marquette still on fire, here's hoping the next post is when the snow finally puts it out.>>97145858I can have a bit of melodrama for the parts I lost. Typing with one hand don't feel right. Again though, my thanks.>>97143587For all the fire and naughty words I sum up... Eagh. I have pity over disgust. Some of us got a short stick and while the trio have done me a grave offence I don't care to loathe them. Not right. I'll still feed them to the Loups over staking me with Rebar though.
>>97149574It'd be smart to lay off on the thinbloods for a bit. New Yorkers will only put up with so much for so long.>>97161086Taking out the blood banks is step one, step two is putting eyes and probably stakes on places where the free range kine are preyed on. Avoid hunting alone.
>>97159245>We'll hold a briefing to make her more prepared and comfortable, and a debriefing to review everything after the fact.Whew. Tell you what, uncle, reading this post, I could feel my heart beating again, pounding in my chest... until I got to this line! Why did you have to write it last, uncleeeeee!? >the 50sAnd here we go. Is there even a single kindred that dislikes this stuff?>I thought of having some fur on Princess Charming's dress as a way to signify she's now part of the family.GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS I LOVE YOU UNCLE>>97163203>It'd be smart to lay off on the thinbloods for a bit.That's what we are going to do. I'm going to Elysium and Boy Toy is busy overseeing the WRX's new body.Time to beg Assoluta for survival tips.
>>97164538I'm saying this only once: if you enter my room or knock on the door I will make you regret it.Elysium is a sacred ground where violence is blasphemy. You have many talents, particularly one for destroying bodies by using your own, how do you intend to promote it in such a place, sister?

Seasons greetings from eternally dark Svalbard! I haven't slept in six nights! Reality has lost all meaning and I am galivanting around the island playing a game of hide and seek with some fellow Artic wanderers. Last one found gets to keep the entry fees.>>97164579Physical violence is forbidden, but plenty of barbed tongues to get lashed by. Who hasn't tried rile up a rival to break that rule in those hallowed halls?

>>97159565I mean, getting shot by her and just shrugging it off is a good way to impress her! And she won't even care that I told you, because she'll enjoy shooting you regardless. The guy's utterly freaked about the Nosferatu progenitor, bee-tee-dubs, if you make any sort of sympathetic statement about that he'll probably like you. I won't draw cards for this, as to not give you any more of an unfair advantage - they'd not like that. Can draw a few for other topics, though, I'm still bored and still got free time.>>97158122I am both grossed out and intrigued! Not this time, babe, my cards are alive enough, but if I ever decide I want to go for a more graphic and grisly look, freak people the fuck out, I'll know who to call.Also,>1/4 of a deck of playing cards is literally heartsBabe, I know. Best part is, that's, like, the most basic-ass yet effective riddle to annoy people with, of the the 'what moves but has no legs' sort. What's heartless, yet has a heart? Amount of times I've seen egocentric dipshits say 'me' and look at me with all the self-satisfaction of a fucking peacock fluffing its tail out...>>97161104I'd make a 'uuhuhuh whatchu doing with the other hand' joke, but we've got BDSM-heavy Toreadors with a family theme and lots of fur in this chat, sex jokes just don't have the scandalous appeal to them.>>97164629King of Wands - Upright. Passion; ambition; leadership. Whatever it is you do, handshake or no, you've got to be a star, Fairy! Shine bright and hustle your way into everybody's good graces.By the by, the card I drew after that was the Sun, so be happy I only drew one in your name. The Sun's a good symbol but sure is an ominous portent for anybody who gets burned by sunlight, y'know? When I draw one for somebody, people tend to look at me with saucer-caliber eyes and ask if I, perhaps, can read cards in a more metaphorical and not literal sense, on this occasion. Shit's great.happy holidays, everybody!

>>97163203>Taking out the blood banks is step one, step two is putting eyes and probably stakes on places where the free range kine are preyed on. Avoid hunting alone.Oddest thing blood was that they didn't go after that building first. When this first started it struck me as weird. However I put it up to the fact they were focusing on the thing under the town. Now though? I don't know, something seems amiss about this taking so long.>>97168380NWBP had a whole load of stuff apparently. Looking into it now it seems like a bunch of stem cell research. Half a dozen people were also inside when they torched the place.>>97168092I've lived in the woods for years now and I'm divorced from a sense of shame. I could do worse. When this is finished I might do some travelling.>>97167856Are the months of sunlight worth it? I've lived up north most of my life and I can tolerate long summers in exchange for something else.
>>97168685It might be the "moderates" within the group were concerned about casualties. Or they satisfied themselves with merely monitoring and shadowing any untoward deliveries. That still feels, weird. If they were willing to set a big expensive sports arena on fire, but not a bloodbank, while throwing hands with Vampires... It dun add up boss. You sure they didn't grab anything before torching the place?
>>97168769Critically I don't. A lot of what I learned came from the community gopher Teddy who had contacts inside and was able to get a good drain from the tanks, but that facility had layers. Especially with the stem cell stuff. About two years ago some conspiracy nut-job bombed tried bombing the place (yada yada, it's made of fetus, you know the drill) and he got vanished. Allegedly died by 'suicide' in detention but that wasn't the case (unfortunately because Mister War Crimes had access to the morgue.) Teddy just chocked this up to a major portion of their bio-products being 'lower-quality.' Back in the day that quality mostly came from prisoners and there was a huge scandal because a lot of it was tainted with disease, and while the scandal stopped the worst of it, on the side they didn't completely stop with the scummy shit.Problem is Teddy just assumed that, and that facility was a lot more secure than it should have been. And with some serious industrial components that don't make sense.I'll get back to you on that as soon as possible, as things are about to kick off tonight.
>>97167856I've always wondered how it would be for Kindred up in the far north with the lack of sun for half a year. Can't imagine it's a terribly pleasant time either way.>>97168092Man I hate getting shot. Hurts like shit, powder burns suck, it ruins your clothes, etcetera etcetera. I'll be wearing my least favorite sweaters when they're in town I suppose.>freaked out about the Nos progenitorAre we not freaked out at least a little about all of them? It is a fair thing to worry about though, shit is going bump in the night more than anyone is comfortable with these days.In other news, the kids Rotschreck training has been going well, as has the Discipline work. I've also been working on some personal projects, HalfSeeingEye mentioning their improved Vitae has been an excellent kick in the ass for me to finally get a proper lab/workshop set up so I can start doing what I love.Oh, and I recently did a back piece for someone, or rather started it. He's not the Sheriff, given this is an Anarch town, but he's the local big man's knee-breaker and there was some emergency he got called out on. Probably out-of-towner's causing a ruckus, we've been seeing a lot of new faces recently so things are a little tense.
If you ask me, our trip to Elysium went exceedingly well. I set up a little workshop and I had the Harpies take turns to get their measurements and a few sketches done. Everyone complimented the girls' beauty and fashion sense. Doubtless, the highlight of the night was the Primogen himself playing the piano, then joined by Assoluta's singing accompanied by her latest friend playing the viola d'amore, and the three held an improvised, seamless jazz session out of nowhere. Blue Fairy then grabbed Princess Charming and showed the crowd dance moves I had never seen before, courtesy of her many travels through Asia and her mastery over her body.The blonde said: "I've mainly studied ballroom dancing and I tried to follow Blue Fairy's lead. I had no fear I could step on her feet, or lose my own balance, she reacts too quickly. I felt like I was fighting for my life, especially when she completely lifted me like they do in figure skating, but somehow I've never felt safer in her arms."The neonates were dying of envy, absolutely seething at Blue Fairy and we were enjoying every second of it.In the debriefing we shared our results:- The Devil Wears Me: 6 commissions.- Assoluta: live performance at Elysium on Saturday and Sunday, 2 concerts, 4 dates, 5 invitations, 1 master class, 2 professional dominatrix sessions.- Princess Charming: 2 library memberships, 6 dates, 4 invitations, 8 transactions.- Blue Fairy: expert commentary at a fighting tournament hosted by the Brujah Primogen, 9 dates, 13 invitations, 3 master classes, 5 professional dominatrix sessions.Now for the bad stuff. The debriefing degenerated in a fight, I'll try to be brief and diplomatic about it.Assoluta thinks Blue Fairy refused nothing, overbooked herself, and had no regard for her own value. She's not envious, she makes three times what Blue Fairy does with a fraction of the effort by saying no and raising the price.Blue Fairy argued she needs as much information and contacts as possible.
>>97171535This may sound like a calm conversation but it was anything but. Assoluta was furious and believed Blue Fairy being "such an easy whore" costed our family face, the latter was deeply hurt by our prima donna's words and became self-conscious about her naïveté,Venus in Furs watched everything intently, but when I begged her to intervene she said: "It's my favourite sitcom, House Venus!"Sigh. I asked Boy Toy to mediate.With extreme difficulty, he managed to get them to agree that the first lesson in Elysium should be: "How to get people to say yes to you", and the second lesson will be for Blue Fairy to learn: "How to say no to people", and that anything the little sister learns from being so busy can and will be used by the entire family.Venus in Furs then ordered both sisters to go to Blue Fairy's room to "sort their differences", and assigned Boy Toy to guard the door.
>>971715821. There is no sound proofing and I hear everything Assoluta and Blue Fairy are doing in her room.2. I have to watch the door and I'm not allowed to see what's going on behind it. I was already so horny I could die.3. It got worse.4. I called a girl from the herd and told her she could do anything she wanted to me, I was thinking feeding could assist me in my fight against this misery.5. She got intercepted by Princess Charming, they were cuddlefucking in the hallway in front of me.6. "How could it possibly get worse?" I asked myself.7. It got worse.8. It's a threesome. "Red" is sinking in Mother's black fox fur coat.9. Mother fingers Red's mouth from behind and Princess Charming is playing with her from the front. All three were glaring at me.10. Red is doing what she wants to me, and this is what she wants, I'm a fucking idiot.11. I'm still hearing everything going on behind me in Blue Fairy's room. Typing this message out was my last ditch effort at controlling my urges, I'm bent over, my legs are shaking, if this keeps up I'm going to explode in a fountain of cumblood.13. The trio can see how distressed I am, they're moving closer to me, and they're laughing.14. It got wor
>>97171666That was hysterical, had to post it. Yeah, it ain't Boy Toy writing this one. You guessed it: this one's from yours truly.Anyway mom and lil sis seized him, all five of us dragged him inside, tied him up and gave him a hell of a bullwhipping for being such a naughty, pathetic, ineffective guardian. I thought I knew my shit but mom retrained me for free. Awesome.Then the motherfucker said he'd like a sip. So insolent. Lil sis gave me a blood bag out of her fridge and I put it on top of his head, I gave him the finger and forced him to watch big sis drink from my external jugular and lil sis from the cephalic vein on other side. What's the word again? I transfixed him or whatever.Now I'm giving this phone back to lil sis, don't worry big bro, I didn't look into your private things, I know what I'm doing and so does she, she oversaw everything. See, I'm wicked, I'm evil, but I ain't dumb. When you read this, tell everyone you're officially this mortal lady's little bitch.As for you good folks in the thread, it's just a matter of time, the prey is working overtime to become the predator, and the disaventures of Boy Toy have only just begun. I'm going for a smoke now, and a steak after that.Kisses! ~ The Scarlet Queen of HurtsVamp of Vampires, Baddest Vixen Under the Sun and The Artist Formerly Known as "Red">97171666>666Fuck. Yeah. \m/
Many kindred have perished this night. Enjoy your unlife, all.
>>97174947>Many kindred have perished this night. No...
>>97168380The endless tide of seals makes keeping yourself topped up real easy, so long as you aren't too blue blooded to drink from a blubbery juice bag! Stay the FUCK away from the people, they've got three incredibly possessive kindred watching over them, and they know every single nook, cranny, hole and basement you could potentially hide from the sun in, and will send their ghouls out to haul you into the sun. Good hosts otherwise.>>97168685Bold of you to assume I remain up here during the summer months! I'll drop down to the 60s or 50s, and partake a little in regular kindred society when the sun starts lingering a bit too long. Don't ask why an owl is flying over the mid Atlantic, it's safer than doing it as a seal!>>97169474When was the last time you went to sleep under the night sky without a single fear? Because I get to do that and it's worth every single frozen toe! I don't stay awake the ENTIRE time, sleep deprivation still hits like a truck but without the worry of dying due to critical brain plaque accumulation, I get to trip balls for weeks! Who needs magic mushrooms to go on a spirit journey? Just don't sleep for a month!>>97174947Did the limp dicks of Caine send another swarm of shovel heads to die because dying for elders is universal for kindred?

Women.
>>97172535>~ The Scarlet Queen of Hurts>Vamp of Vampires, Baddest Vixen Under the Sun and The Artist Formerly Known as "Red"That is one way to introduce oneself. I don't know when to expect it, but Scarlet's embrace should be imminent, given her tattoos and piercings are gone. I think she gained a few pounds of muscle.In short, she was a blood doll we rescued from the Sabbat, with a fascination for evil that she expressed in music, in what Boy Toy identified as an "avantgarde blackened death/doom metal one-woman band." I found teaching her to be far more challenging than listening to her, eventually we settled for the bare minimum overdrive when using the guitar in my classes and for somebody to else to instruct her on the drum and bass. As for singing, I won her resistance as soon as I showed her how long I can hold my lowest note. I was also charged to play as a Prince in simulated debuts, given my intimate knowledge of the Ventrue and expertise in acting.Boy Toy noticed Scarlet's near-complete collection of De Sade's writings so she gifted her his copies of Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye and Erotism: Death and Sensuality, not too long after I saw her march to his room armed with strap-on, flogger, cane and a borrowed black fox, the same coat Mother wore last time.When Mercury Lamp was assigned to teaching Scarlet manners, she gave her a present: a teddy bear covered in bandages, scars, burns and is missing an arm and eye, when you pull on its string it cries from its good eye and implores "Mommy" to stop hurting it. They immediately became friends.Another clue that the embrace could be as soon as she says is that uncle The Devil Wears Me has been working on a very striking black gown that no Harpy would touch. She told us many times she hates both "NSBM" and "RAC", but this didn't stop her from being an avid reader of his books on the Holocaust, mainly those on female Nazi party members and concentration camp guards translated from German and Polish.

>>97168380>Is this a modern day Cupid, with gunpowder instead of arrows?No, she's just a sadist with probably, like, half a century more experience than your mom got. Also not a sexual one. I think. Not sure.>>97169474>Are we not freaked out at least a little about all of them? It is a fair thing to worry about though, shit is going bump in the night more than anyone is comfortable with these days.Oh, see, there's 'well, I am reasonably worried that one of these nights a really powerful vampire might shit itself out of a crypt and eat me'. I'm a clairvoyant, I can see shit, I had a really fun time during the Week of Nightmares, so I'm reasonably worried, you know.And then there's 'HE'S GOING TO SHOW UP ANYTIME NOW OH GOD OH FUCK', which is the level that guy operates on. The fact that he's been running around freaking out about it for well over a century, apparently, with no Nossie progenitor to speak of thus far, seems to not sabotage his utmost belief in that it will totes happen sometime soon. I'm yet to figure out if he's doing something to delay it, or he's just demented and mentally unwell. Both, maybe!
>>97176226Back when I used to do drugs, psychedelics were always my least favorite to be honest. Maybe for a few nights it would be fun, but I wouldn't last up there long-term I think.>>97176778I got the shitty type of training, so I'm making sure the kids don't. It's already not fun when you do it right, let alone doing it as both training and punishment together.>>97180546Ah. I mean, their progenitor can probably do some ridiculous bullshit with Obfuscate, so I guess I can understand where he's coming from.
>>97181158so how do you do my fellow leeches? a lot of you here seem alright i've been looking for a certain type of vampire on the security feeds these blanks have some weird distortion effect with cameras and i was told you lot here could help me with identifying what it is strengths weaknesses affiliations and the lot with whatever bloodline these things are from any cooperation or lack thereof will be duly noted by my compatriots and benefactors
fucks sake just got alerted from another node we got rat spam in the walls judging by the links this infantile kine don't even know how to reply properly and just grabbed the latest post they are asking for a sabbie clan, should we send the deets on those shoveheaed fucks to the rat before we kick him or should we just kick him
>>97182173Might as well screw him over. I'm a lot less sympathetic with some of the shit happening up north and down south right now.
>>97182176you know what i've kicked him but ill package and anonimise some replies if any of you lot, want to say anything about those ol shadow shovelheads
>>97182193>reformatted this is the last time i plug a raspberry pi tablet up to an old network you lot can do whatever feed him a yarn and get a bunch of them killed i don't caretell them because of their shadow powers they are vulnerable to UV light or whatever the fuckor that they can put out fires with their shadow powersi checked the rats device ID and it seems to be an old graphine os phone through a disposable sim card of some kindonly seems to be one phone sending these messages to a bunch of nodes and it looks to be manualthere is a little problem with directly sending the hounds after this rati won't say where because i don't want to put any assets of associates at risk but this rat is in contested sabbie territory up northand any work done to flush him out directly is work wasted fighting better foes and risks exposing our assets i was supposed to be running well.. packages this nightso have a good night yall and remember we are the ugly bastards with cuck chairs hiding in your walls
>>97181158I can understand that all too well. Intentionally breaking your brain for a good time is not something for the faint of heart or smooth of brain. Spending weeks moving through an unending haze of not quite consciousness where the edges of existence start coming undone and you start getting glimpses of all the horrid little things underneath the world that make and are it at the same time? If this is anything like what the Malks have to deal with, I fucking get it.But nothing really lets the Beast go for a leisurely stroll and pit itself against its fellows. Think about all the weird and crazy stuff you might find out here in the deepest of frigid wilderness. How many creepy log cabins do you think I've burnt to the ground because the vibes were making my fangs itch? More than none, I'll tell you that! So many deep dark holes, long forgotten villages, crypts and caves. All full of such wonderfully horrible things. And we're all fighting to see who gets to keep it all. My entry was painfully mundane, just a few kilos in gold, but everyone loves that sun yellow metal enough that it suffices. Not like you can pay for your plane rental with cursed ivory arrowheads that cause wounds that never stop bleeding, ya know?
Update 7Bad night last night. Really bad. I'll recap best I can.>Prior I implied things were in the works and with me acting as the intermediary. On the planning side things went off without a hitch and I even got word to the North Loup camp for a coordinated attack. Even if that North Camp is still an existential threat to every local except myself. >This attack was meant to be a coup-de-gras against the hunter operation, wiping out remaining supply depots, major lieutenants, and capturing intelligence. It involved a majority of the local community in one aspect or another and most of the assembled war camps. >Number 1; the Marquette Senior High School raid was to be a centre of the broader operation as a consequence of how invested the hunters were in the abomination underneath. This included a lot of vehicles, equipment, and a sizable portion of their actual numbers. With a full three pronged attack that cut out their generators the initial assault was extremely effective. Amazing what some well placed explosives will do beside Tremi tricks and a number of 800 pound murder machines. Despite some serious defences the MSHS was taken in short order. Aided no doubt by a half dozen other attacks across town disorientating them. >The problem began when the remaining "Sabbat" made their move. After a period of disorientation when the Loup (critically, those from the South Camp who wanted to put the 'spirit' back to sleep) began their ritual work the "Sabbat" made their move.>I use air quotes because I don't know what they are now.>The prior unknown vampire which I will now call 'The Cannibal' is a Caitif so twisted by diablerie I don't know what they are, but Quebec calls the Cannibal a 'Baali.'
>>97183259>Regardless of what Cannibal actually is, it, the Ventrue Antribu, the Giovanni, and a small throng of 'Skinned Monstrosities' (which I believe to be something like a shovelhead tactic courtesy of the Cannibal) attacked the MSHS, just when the locals and the South Camp were unprepared and divided across the area. Killed or injured almost everyone of the blood there and wiped out a third of the wolves present.>How were were able to pull this off? We had a rat. >The "Sabbat" after cutting a bloody swathe through the school cornered a bunch of our blood in the excavated space near the \Flesh Mouth,' including the Carnival Coterie. The Cannibal barked and apparently 'Show-Master' opened the door to let them in. Despite that blatant betrayl, thanks to some of the Loup (and my planning for the worst) a good portion of my people managed to escape and actually relayed this to me. As bad as it was because I was a bit paranoid I have half of the community instead of no one.>Critically they also used some of the hunter munitions to light the place up, burning down the school on the way out. While this probably didn't actually do anything to the Clique of northern invaders, it denied them access to the Flesh and stopped their plans for the moment.>Unfortunately this ambush cost us all a lot. We essentially had our numbers cut in half for a second time and the Southern Loup camp is in tatters. Without Big-Pipe-Club they might not even be able to remain functional.
>>97183279>Number 2; The Northern Camp Loup were given a direct path to the Hunter HQ at Saint Christopher's church and they took it. Rolled over the hunters in a two pronged attack and ripped them apart. The leader of the hunters was present there, Father Trenqueval, and personally attempted to resist. When the Loup broke into the church he lit himself and the church up to avoid being taken alive. Something he didn't prepare his subordinates for. After the Church went up with the Father inside they splintered. A handful went on the attack or pulled out to safe-houses, but it would seem the majority began pulling out along the south-road on the Highway. After the wolves finished up there and finished their rampage they withdrew. It seems like the North Camp Wentiko still has plans. Plans they aren't sharing with their cousins in the south Camp.>Otherwise there were a handful of other problems. Hunters tried to attack the local Elysium being guarded by our Toris and caused some serious damage to property and life. A couple of similar like-minded hunters went after the survivors from the school raid but seem to have been driven off by local 'peace-keepers.' A gift horse I won't look in the mouth.>For myself; I spent the better part of the other night stalking through the forest with my new allies hunting after the Malk. Weird experience I'll say, but one that ultimately panned out better than I expected. Turned up a cabin in the woods where the queer trio were holding the Malk. Trying to, anyways. When we kicked the door in they were trying to pry my girl off the ceiling. After a bit of verbal destruction and a rude interruption from the freak with a flower tattoo, we managed to hash out an agreement. Seems they too are here because of the meat-monstrosity. After hashing out an agreement I came away with a few more members of this very odd entente.
>>97183286>Right now Marquette is a bit of an anarchy, city is depopulated, fires being put out mostly by volunteers. No idea where the "Sabbat" are but their intentions remain fixed on the bedrock, and they're like to try again, although it seems those who survived the night still want to throttle them.>A handful of Hunter cells remain scattered across the city. Seems despite their precarious situation they are still dedicated to whatever brought them here. Thankfully this is a few dozen people in compare to the few hundred they started with. Wish I could say I was happy about this. At least I got the Cat back with me.>More updates as they come. Marquette out.>>97176683Not so. Apparently that entire PENTEX network tried buying out NWBP but drove them into private ownership and government contracting to avoid a corporate take-over. >>97174947Yea fuck you too.
And the survivors.>"Miss Q" >[Kicking] Absolutely ballistic about the counter-purge and unholy Freak, has history with it>"Mister Nice Guy" >[Ashed] Apparently was one of the people that got snuck up on at the perimeter, Cannibal ripped him apart and diablerized him>"Mister War Crimes" >[Ashed] Gutted by the Black Knight in the opening move and probably haunting us>"Mister Y">[Kicking] Took some pretty gnarly injuries, but hardy enough that doesn't seem to be an issue, powered by hatred>"HMW" >[MIA] Might have gotten himself killed, might have run, either way no sign of him>"Tattoos" >[Ashed] Went absolutely feral after Show-master back-stabbed his coterie, bought enough time for people to evac>"Teddy" >[Kicking] Immediately took to ground when the 'Sabbat' counter-play hit, got the School survivors out>"Stripper Hatshepsup">[Kicking] Was sitting out for the counter-play but her Elysium was attacked, skinned one of the hunters>"Satanic Hippy">[Torpor] Was with Hatshepsup and took a really bad hit, currently sitting in a coffin right now with Hat brooding over her>"MY Cat">[Kicking] Spent the past few days in a metal box, not happy, very alive, wish she had a sense of smell>"Momma Rhinstones">[Kicking] Had to be dragged out after Show-Master turned tail, but since then is basically running things, absolutely furious>"Halal">[Kicking] Took a few bullets in the opening and got knocked about, but otherwise as good as can be>"Strong Man">[Kicking] Absolute wreck right now mentally, but physically still carrying his clique>"Show-Master">[Judas] Stayed in the H.S with the 'Sabbat' after their play, current status unknown with the explosive exit
Terrible news.Mother summoned the family to the main hall of the mansion and had Big Toy get Scarlet, the top ranked and most beloved mortal soul under this roof. Then Mother said there was a special announcement concerning her, and Scarlet's eyes were sparkled with joy. She entered the room wearing the black gown uncle made for her."Boy Toy, get rid of the disobedient kine." That was the 'special announcement.'In the blink of an eye, his fangs sunk in Scarlet's neck as he cries blood. Mother leapt close to them, seized his arm, and bit his radial artery, she did it from the front, so she could watch their terrified faces up close and savor their despair as well as his vitae. Now I understand why Mother chose the red dyed chinchilla to wear inside tonight.Uncle fell silent, Blue Fairy and Princess Charming were in shock, I was paralyzed by a fear that my younger brother was going to get diablerized. Meanwhile, Mercury Lamp was giggling and clapping with those little hands.Mother was at the height of pleasure, joining the sadistic delights of utterly ruining the girl's ambition, and the relationship between the two, with the taste of his vitae, an unholy trinity, the true face of the Venus in Furs, who transfixed Boy Toy as he killed the redhead.He loved Scarlet, so inventive in her passion for wickedness. Sometimes she treated him like a Bishop treats their servants, or she would bite her own tongue as an excuse to spit in his mouth.I hate to admit this, but I never had a disciple as motivated as this fuzz-loving metalhead, she dreamed of becoming one of us and was willing to do anything.The main reason this happened was Scarlet writing a post here, thus contacting kindred outside the family. We wrongly thought Mother would turn a blind eye. Blue Fairy feels guilty for letting this happen, now Princess Charming tries to console her.I wrote this post as a way to cope. Boy Toy beseeched me to let him grieve alone but I just can't let it happen.
>>97184199>Big Toy>Scarlet's eyes were sparkled>sunk in Scarlet's neck as he criesYou can tell how fast big sis wanted to get these feelings out of her chest, and how sad she is. No, I don't point these out to make fun of her English, that's mean!>transfixed Boy Toy as he killed the redheadBig brother was ordered to rid us of Scarlet but he didn't finish the job. When Mommy forced his mouth open, she had some life left in her, she was pale, more than usual, but not that cold. Maybe he loved her so much he couldn't drain her after he bit her, or her spirit fought back, or something? I have no idea.Everybody else was frozen solid, so I dragged this wannabe sister away, Mommy cleaned herself up and we went on a little trip to New York. Everything in New York is so tall and shiny, Mommy said it's easier to dispose of a body here. I wonder how will she punish our brother when we come back, or did she start already? She says he is unworthy, he doesn't deserve to see Mommy, blah blah blah.>Boy Toy beseeched me to let him grieve aloneI know! I can make him a doll of Scarlet! Dolls never die, and he won't be alone anymore!
Within you are 2 VtM Chronicles.One is a desperate fight for survival as the GM beats you with a stick.The other is a story of lavish excess about the coterie going insane from vampire tv series drama.Both seem to be doing well in this thread.
>>97185285I like the contrast
>>97184774>>97184199imagine caring about lunch i didn't care about canned spam when i was aliveyou shouldnt either
Mother, Scarlet, forgive me. I failed you both.I woke up in Assoluta's arms, she said I slept like an angel through the day, and called me her overgrown baby. Her sleep was much lighter. I wanted to reach out to Blue Fairy but I heard her wailing, so I gave up.>>97188695A former blood doll of the Sabbat knows more about kindred thant their average fledgling, it's not your typical can of Spam.In hindsight it was obvious: telling her Mother would embrace her was the easiest way to keep her here, both as a renewable food source and to uphold the Masquerade.
>>97189716Did Assoluta have to spank you to stop your tears?Pussy. Couldn't even drain me.
>>97189725WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCK
>>97131386>>>/qst/ fuck off like its 2017 again
>>97189730Ta-dah! What manner of self-respecting soap opera wouldn't have dead characters returning from the grave?For a Toreador, I'm a woman of my word you know? I honoured my promise, Scarlet was embraced in the Big Apple, as per our agreement with the NY Prince.Since we were here tonight, I also, well, "picked on someone my own size" with the help of Mercury Lamp's little army of dolls.>>97189716When Scarlet sees you again, she expects an apology "in the manner of the Japanese people" from you, to paraphrase her words, and she wants you to buy her cigarettes of the usual brand, plus a new lighter and "a suitable cigarette holder", since she wishes to use one from now on.
>>97189962Ahhhh, you ruined the only interesting development in this vampire soap opera.
>>97183290>Apparently that entire PENTEX network tried buying out NWBP but drove them into private ownership and government contracting to avoid a corporate take-over.An organization that can keep Pentex off their nuts, unnerving.
>>97131386Mütiilation spotted!
Now that you mention it yes. Back when it all went down it was alleged that only the stem cell research kept NWBP from going completely under before them and Pentex normalized relations back in '08. On paper seemingly. I got a guy down in Uruguay looking around for their actual gov info. Tonight I'm checking out the burnt out remains of their facility. I'll report back on the equipment they had.
The news that Scarlet became a kindred was a shock to the whole house. Everybody is working overtime to gather presents for the newcomer, well beyond what she expressly requested, but also the victorious Venus in Furs and Mercury Lamp. It almost feels like we are celebrating Christmas this year.I pointed out to Boy Toy and Blue Fairy these words, which I thought they didn't pay enough attention to, too focused on overcoming their surprise and then welcoming the new member of the family:>I wonder how will she punish our brother when we come back, or did she start already? She says he is unworthy, he doesn't deserve to see Mommy, blah blah blah.They feel worse now than ever, worse than when they thought they lost Scarlet forever. Silent, depressed, increasingly apathetic. Boy Toy thinks Venus hates him. Blue Fairy still thinks she's responsible for all of this, failing to stop Scarlet from posting here and failing to educate her, and so on.Last year, she told me the story of Hachiko, the famous loyal Japanese dog which waited at the station for a dead master who would never return.The two young kindred remind me of Hachiko, hopelessly hopeful as they're waiting at the door, with the staff going back and forth, adding to growing pile of presents. I've been drawing all night.Please, Venus, my Venus... Did we not suffer enough? When you return, will you find it in your heart to forgive us, or will you walk past your two youngest and ignore our pleas and gifts?
>>97195162>will you walk past your two youngest and ignore our pleas and gifts?Killer idea, old timer.
Can nosferatu girls find love? At this point I'm losing hope of not living alone in a sewer, I miss having a bed and an apartment.
>>97195809Obviously. You just have to find someone into whatever shade of freak you've ended up. Just make sure you bathe.Apartment though? Give up on that one.
>>97195809Just blood bind some pervert
>>97195809As a man in a relationship with a Nosferatu, yeah. It's not the easiest to find people who can deal with the specific flavor of crazy common to the Nosferatu, but they are out there. Once you can get past the 'even finding a partner' stage, you've got to then deal with the most likely of two outcomes. Of the two, them liking your personality but finding your appearance too troubling to deal with is the more common of the two, the other option is fetishists. Whether their fetish is necrophilia, teratophilia, or a specific fascination with the Nosferatu is going to be down to the specific person you find. It's going to be harder than other Kindred would have it, but of all the long term romantic partnerships I've known with Kindred, more of them involved a Nosferatu than not. We're all fucked up and legitimate love is hard to find on a good night.>>97195991Yeah the apartment thing is going to be the hardest part of it. I've tossed around getting a tunnel dug in my basement for my girl to make easier trips to my place, but she said she'd rather deal with the hassle than risk anyone else coming in. Which would be much fairer if I hadn't warded the everloving fuck out of every entrance and then some, but still fair all in all.>>97195996>Love>Just blood bind some pervertThat's like telling someone who wants a cake to just eat a pile of shit with glitter sprinkled on top.
>>97195162>Please, Venus, my Venus... Did we not suffer enough? When you return, will you find it in your heart to forgive us, or will you walk past your two youngest and ignore our pleas and gifts?Tsk tsk tsk, poor uncle forgot Scarlet is my youngest now. But this is a transgression I can definitely forgive, we shall see about the rest. I say forgive, but not forget, and I expect my childer to remember their lessons.>>97195809The first party at our new mansion in Bridgeport featured a fellow Toreador, Romeo, declaring his love for a Nosferatu, Juliet, in public. Let's just say it's an acquired taste for the chosen few.
I'm a woman who listened to a bit too much metal in her youth, then became a Sabbat blood doll, then was "rescued", then made a Toreador blood doll and a "more refined" musician, then got sentenced to death by her owner, then came back as a Toreador, a Toreador who needs a cigarette this instant.Ask me anything.And if you wanna suggest or tell me anything you think the clan of whiny fetishists won't teach me, lay it on me.
>>97195809A Clanmate of mine is happily dating one. Dont give up, squeaky queen!

>>97196321Everybody's favorite band's favorite band from the 2000s.
>>97195809Nosferatu can find love, difficult but I've seen some strong relationships born from a female nosferatu and a non-nosferatu male.>>97196138Also Venus, I see you've recently sired, congratulations are in order as I assume it's something to be celebrated in your house.>>97196311Welcome to our world now, young one.if you do not wish to remain with Venus I can find a room for you at my haven however you will have to deal with Scholar and his rather eccentric personality.-KakophoniPS: that female Kiasyd is still following me and Scholar's been in his lab and I don't like the sounds coming from it, will update when I can as I am currently trying to work with the staff to get the christmas party together as I was volunteered to assist.
>>97197548>I assume it's something to be celebrated in your house.I am celebrating. I'm getting dozens of notifs as all items on my wishlists get bought.>if you do not wish to remain with VenusI cheated death once, got a death sentence suspended, I ain't going anywhere, I'm out of luck and she's out of patience. That night, that woman put the fear of Venus in me.No escape plans for the evil girl, folks. From now on I'm a good evil girl.
Been a hot second since I visited! Fun to see the local quasi-incestual Toreadors keep up the drama, life'd be boring without them. Lavender's gone from laying about all-catatonic to hitting whoever he touches with some mild electricity. It'd not be so bad if he didn't fry my tablet when I went to check on him. He so fucking owes me.>>97195809Queen of Swords - Upright. Justice; truth; self-sufficient independence.Love you may find yet, but you should not lower your standards for it, nor should you let it be a matter of dependence, where you needily cling onto somebody because they've showed you some affection and let you sleep in their bed. Seek out somebody who you could be on even terms with, in a balanced, fair arrangement, dollface, the cards suggest there is that somebody out there.You just won't find them if you, in desperation, give up on caring for yourself and your own best interest.>>97181158I'm going to guess that he'll tell you literally everything personally soon enough, but with him it's not even something reasonable like 'oh no, Nosferatu Prime is really good at invisibility, what if he's hidden a whole layer of existence and I'm right now knee deep in gore of my family or something'. I'm professionally offended by hazy portents of doom nobody can act upon.>>97196311>And if you wanna suggest or tell me anything you think the clan of whiny fetishists won't teach me, lay it on me.Four of Cups - Upright. Apathy; stagnation; inertia. Common card for all of us, but especially for Toreadors, since in the big picture, every party's the same and every outfit's the same.Try and not let the night-to-night entertainment and debauchery distract you from whatever sort of goals you might've had, or might yet have.
>>97198379>whatever sort of goals you might've had, or might yet haveSurvive, be accepted, get money, grow more power and influence? Kindred 101, right? At least I got teachers.
Don't be alarmed, I'm only here for business>>97197548>that female Kiasyd is still following meEvery annoyance can be dealt with for the right price
>>97198640>Kindred 101
Pardon the late response, one of Scholar's Cauldron-Born got out and ripped a few servants to pieces before it saw me and charged, it has been dealt with but I may have a few new scars after that.
>>97183290A a few nights that felt like an eternity no see amigos Hope the night is treating everyone well though it seems to be treating people like us quite roughly Thin blood shovelhead problem was worse than anticipated I got some burns that I’ve been trying to sleep off with several stale blood bags that taste of plastic These were not my ghouls but we lost seven of them trying to raid a thin blood lair, they were good men and some had families Fucks we’re getting crafty and we expected that jus were not fully prepared Gangrel merc lost it and balked at the sight of fire, matador gunslinger managed to hold his cool until he got hit by a dragons breath round, somehow he is still alive and managed to regain his composure, can take a beating like me We managed to kill some weird ass mutant sabbat freak that the toreador is calling a tzahmiisi or something Apparently they are the source of all the mutant freak ghouls and vampires the sabbat were producing, it had noticed us through the rats in the walls like a nos Trained squad of ghouls really managed to carry our asses But they took some losses, unlike us sorry pendejos they didn’t flinch even when they set the entire warehouse on fire Earlier in the night we shockingly managed to after a standoff have a chat with a hunter cell that the regent also wanted to bribe to deal with this problem Apparently some of them classify us as ferals or organised, sabbies they classify as ferals with a pro feral ideology Night ended with half of us badly hurt wanting to hole up and lick our wounds and receiving a call from one of the other teams that we had cleared out only a small dent of these fucks Best part of the night for me was when I spooned the eyes of of some gangrel lick that tried to sneak up on us as we were just heading back to our getaway vechiles and trying to resist balking at the sight of fire with an old shovel that those whelps used for..It reminded me why I do work like this
Honestly the only turn off about Nosferatu women is the sewer smell. Your body has patches missing showing the muscle underneath? Fine, could even be fun to tickle your lover since both of you would be fine with weird at that point.Head misshapen and teeth a fucked up blender? Simply something unique about your beloved.But the smell? No, I simply can't handle it. I'm sorry. Surely we could secretly build some infrastructure underground that doesn't handle mortal waste? Kindred society has existed for so long yet we just put up with our number smelling so foul?I had a Nosferatu mistress, I loved the woman, but by the heavens every decade we met to chat and catch up over some aged B- her shoes were damp and the smell got in my carpet.We still talk but it could never have worked out, all because of those damned sewers.
>>97198379>Queen of Swords - Upright. Justice; truth; self-sufficient independence.You seem to be doing some sort of cartomancy. Can you tell me what you were doing 3 months ago? You and this Lavender guy>>97196311>Ask me anything.Where were you, your new coterie, Kindred friends and enemies 3 months ago? >anything you think the clan of whiny fetishists won't teach meAlways pay the tithe promptly>>97183259I hope you get your messy situation sorted out brother.

I have a plan to get Mother to love us again like before. No spoilers, we must not ruin the surprise.>>97196311>Ask me anything.Name a car.
>>97196311>ask me anythingDo Brujah and Gangrel women shave?
Venus you seem to have your childer desperate for affection, you've trained them well. -Kakophoni
>>97198640I mean, that's the basics. For a whole lotta people, the basics are everything they do, and they do okay at it; look at like most of Cammie middle management, Princes and such, and you'll see them center whole centuries of unlife around survival, acceptance, money, power and influence. You could settle for that.Or you could have some sort of bigger things in mind! I've no fucking clue what kind you're into, and I won't scry for it without asking, but there's as many grand reasons to persist for a thousand years as there are people, y'know? Wanting to find a way to cure some living thing you've ghouled of its affliction, to let it live forever without the need to be your slave, or wanting vengeance against somebody who's as immortal as you, or wanting to right some sort of really big wrong. My vamp-dad, who I don't think deserves a title as fancy as 'Sire', was into occult studies, before a bunch of werewolves tore him apart. Your new family seems to lean towards focusing on the Kindred 101 kinda things, which's fine enough. Frankly speaking, people tend to live longer if they don't get up to anything bigger.But if you do, and you really want it, best not forget about it, babes.>>97200590>You seem to be doing some sort of cartomancy.I got a special deck of Tarot, yeah. Along with a lot of other methods for scrying. This one is my favorite though.>Can you tell me what you were doing 3 months ago? You and this Lavender guyOoh, nosy.Me, I was in the city, living it up and handling scrying requests people scheduled. Lavender was at the caern we own, babysitting it and scaring off werewolf visitors, or doing fun rituals at the caern, or feeding his pet cat, or reading shitty books. Or something like that. if you're looking for somebody, you could always just give me a pointer or two and let me draw a few cards, see what they say about your fugitive. Not like I got anything better to do right now.
So Venus took me to the Prince of NY's office who said "Approved", barely looked at me. Cool. Then we crashed a thinblood party "for my education." Mercury Lamp's dolls blocked the doors, mom grabbed the bouncer with one hand and threw him like a football. The fuck? Am I gonna be this powerful one night?A short "fight" later, I had half a dozen stillborns in zip-tie handcuffs to do as I please with. Holy fucking shit killing is the greatest thing ever, it's like the ultimate form of bullying, like I lost my virginity again.>>97198846>HEAVY MUSIC\m/>>97200590>Where were you, your new coterie, Kindred friends and enemies 3 months ago?Italy. The coterie is Venus in Furs, some childer she keeps as her family, and Princess Charming (Ventrue gf of Blue Fairy). I was their favorite blood doll and trained and waited for my embrace for 7 months.We moved to Bridgeport, CT, not even a month ago because Venus's pissed at Italy's kindred, kine, roads, climate, everything.Barring mom ordering my execution for posting here with Boy Toy's phone, and him half-assing it, I didn't have kindred enemies. Mom decided to keep me alive and embraced me in NY as promised. Her relations with the NY Cammy scene go way back, we sleep here so she can teach me the basics. Once she's done we'll go to the Bridgeport Prince then home sweet home.>Always pay the tithe promptlyGetting my vitae sucked? I'm used to it.>>97201025Corvette ZR1. Is buying me one the master plan?>>97201067Had no idea, Venus says: "A vampire's body returns to the state they were in at the embrace each evening." She sounds like a book. But her bloodline doesn't work like that, unless we really want to? Huh? I don't think Brujah and Gangrel wanna shave every night, though. Princess Charming is the most heavily tanned kindred I've seen, Blue Fairy's got some taste.They have Indelible, the Toreador Merit from Lore of the Clans V20>>97201227>bigger thingsLike smoking, and art. In that order.
>>97201114>Venus you seem to have your childer desperate for affection, you've trained them well. -KakophoniWhy, thank you, honey, I'm a proud and experienced sire, I have to know when to withdraw my love to get them to behave.Did I mention those big cat furs you had me delivered are sublime? And yes, I decided we would pay you in full even though you could deliver only half of them, that's how satisfied your customer is.>>97201260>Holy fucking shit killing is the greatest thing ever, it's like the ultimate form of bullying, like I lost my virginity again.Oh my, those are some strong words you're using, darling! I say, it took me decades, but perhaps I found the right way to get my childer to pay attention in class this time.>Corvette ZR1. Is buying me one the master plan?Ahahaha! You're most certainly getting that car, but to answer your question: no, my dear Scarlet, not if I know what a desperate, miserable Boy Toy is capable of.
>>97198379I appreciate how much you've said already. I'm really just hoping Little Light doesn't do anything stupid, as the extremely reasonable fear of Elders hasn't quite been beaten into her enough for me to be comfortable letting her run around solo.>>97200435I used to be homeless. Some smells stick in your brain like nothing else, some you can get used to. Sewer smell is... not great, but manageable. Also hard wood floors are the best friend of any Nos Fucker worth their salt.>>97201067>Do Brujah and Gangrel women shaveGod I hope not.>>97201260There's actually a pretty easy to do ritual that will allow Kindred to grow their hair. It's not the most useful ritual by far, nor is it always easy to find children's hair, but it's handy to know.>>97201341Reading the drama going on with your family makes me so unbelievably happy I'm not a Toreador. Your Clan scares me in a way I find hard to put into words.
>>97201260>Am I gonna be this powerful one night?Not unless you eat somebody of her level. Can't quite suggest doing that, as it would be both extremely difficult and a sure way to lose access to civilized Kindred society. Without that, you're already on track for getting as strong as any of her Childer, in due time and with sufficient effort. If you're particularly interested, you could get lessons in Disciplines that are more physical in nature than what Venus may have. Since you don't quite have a lot to offer, being basically a newborn, I suggest going through your boyfriend or Venus and getting lessons paid for by them. Helps guard you against getting scammed, too. One option is the Brujah in my coterie, the woman with a mohawk. I think you've been in the same room as her once or twice, at this point? Not sure if you two talked. So long as you two can tolerate each other's attitudes without self-immolating, she'd be a good start.>Barring mom ordering my execution for posting here with Boy Toy's phone, and him half-assing it, I didn't have kindred enemiesWell, that's not quite right. Even before you were Embraced, you inherited her enemies by virtue of belonging to her through a Childe of hers. And now you've got:>Enemies hating her (and, therefore, you) for her clan>Enemies hating her (and, therefore, you) for her actionsAnd, a classic>Enemies coveting your blood because of its potentialPlus, you may also make new enemies by undertaking this thinblood-purging without a limit or consideration for who you are wiping out. Normally they're treated as pests and enjoy no protection, but there are exceptions. For instance, there is a group of Thinbloods in Bridgeport who, by brave action during some recent events, earned the right to exist until further notice. They're easily identifiable by that they'll panic and pull out a sigil of the Prince, if you try to touch them. I'd suggest not touching them.>>97201067Not in my experience.
Even though this stale blood tastes like pfas and rubbing alcohol I’m glad I’m not fighting for my life in somewhere like marquetteI was really hoping this would be a turkey shoot that we could stack but shit goes loco way too fast, I really don’t think we would have been able to clear those thin shovels without.. well I don’t think it’s wise for me to disclose who they were but they were good men >>97132522The pay is good I’ve got all the blood I need but I feel like I’ve sold out on this line of work I wonder if your ability to see the future is genuine or you are really good at spying on people so I’m curious and would like a reading
>>97201638I'm a magic woman, with magic cards, and a magic ego, and a pleasantly lower level of derangement than most other clairvoyants you can go to. Give me a topic if you want a specific reading, I'll make a broad one otherwise and that could be less useful than an answer to a question about, for instance, your love life, immediate threats or whatever else.
>>97201377>Reading the drama going on with your family makes me so unbelievably happy I'm not a Toreador. Your Clan scares me in a way I find hard to put into words.I read this aloud and Venus was cackling like a witch. An insider secret: flatter a Toreador by praising their power and fearsomeness before their looks or artistic talent.>>97201455>Not unless you eat somebody of her level.

Now you're speaking my language.>your boyfriendBoy Toy loves me, though I don't know if he's allowed to have a gf, Mom never stopped us or called Boy Toy anything more than a slave. It's up to her and how well our return goes if I keep playing with him. The last thing I want is a jealous sire.>the Brujah in my coterie, the woman with a mohawk. I think you've been in the same room as her once or twice, at this point? Not sure if you two talked.Danced more than talked. Nice thighs and tats. I leave my education to mom for now, for this girl's safety too.>Thinbloods in BridgeportThat's why the family bullies those in NY.>before you were Embraced, you inherited her enemies by virtue of belonging to her through a Childe of hers.>Enemies hating her (and, therefore, you) for her clan>for her actions>Enemies coveting your blood because of its potential>make new enemiesThis wasn't in the job description. So that's why nobody wanna be kicked out of the house. Mom looks at me different, a new expression. I can't tell if she wanna eat my face or fuck it. She finally let me smoke my first cig since forever and I almost dropped it, I'm scared, can't stop staring at her. She ain't touching me but I feel violated? Raped? But also warm? Loved?She puts the fear of Venus in me again. She likes it.I wanted to say the sex was worth it, now Mercury Lamp is laughing too. Shit.I'm fucked, ain't I?
>>97201638I'll PM you some of the tricks I use to make bagged blood taste better. It'll never be as good as the fresh stuff, but you can make it far more bearable. It'll also help the stuff last longer as an added bonus.>>97201957See, it's not the fearsomeness or the power that sends a chill down my spine, I'm a Tremere, power and fear are the standard for dealing with anyone higher up than you in the Pyramid (not that I'm a part of it anymore) or the general age/generation thing. It's the way your Clan manipulates and twists people around. Fuck, even the Malks who can slap you upside the head with schizophrenia don't wig me out as much as the Roses. I can understand using fear and pain as both punishment and tool to teach, I can understand molding childer into what they need to be to survive the nights ahead of them. But there's something about the way Toreadors make you *want* the manipulation that bothers me, in some ways more than nearly any other Clan.>I'm fucked, aren't I?Yeah, you are. But so is everyone else here. Were all just traumatized monsters aping being people at the end of the night. The ones to be really worried about are the ones who don't even bother trying to be normal.I'm not trying to sound like a shrink, I swear. I've just been reading a book about Kindred psych recently. I still haven't managed to figure out what specifically is wrong with it either, but my best two guesses are that there's what's left of a Malkavian's soul stuck in it, or that whoever wrote the damned thing was just pouring Dementation into it to the point there may as well be part of their soul stuck in it. Jay had to pull me out of a screaming match with the fucking thing earlier too. As soon as Lavender wakes up from his long nap I'm going to bug the hell out of him for more details about where he got his hands on it.
>>97201957>Superpowers? Now you're speaking my language.If superpowers took a long, long time and lots of effort to master, yes. Sufficiently powerful Kindred you might run into can do quite terrifying things; this place has a persistent presence of Tremere, who are known for fielding a wide variety of magic abilities that include hitting you with lightning or boiling your blood, as very vivid samples, and Tzimisce, who are infamous for frequently turning their enemies, or particularly unfortunate servants, into living, breathing, suffering furniture. >Danced more than talked. Nice thighs and tats.Yes, definitely her. She's a Potence expert, meaning that she's particularly adept with the superpower consisting of punching things really, really, really hard. Me and my coterie a while ago had to clean out a basement. The entrance to it was locked, because it naturally always is. Romeo, who was with us on that job, proposed letting him charm his way into the building above the basement, look for an extra entrance or two there. I wanted to argue that it'd take a while, but Tats, to refer to her anonymously enough, decided she'd rather get hangry than spend an hour playing investigator or listen to us talk, so she just punched the reinforced metal door clean off of its hinges. The strike pulverized both the hinges and the lock, sent the door flying, and the door itself on its way crumpled a few ghouls before ending up stuck halfway through a concrete wall. >That's why the family bullies those in NY.The principle still applies; while the average thinblood is a nobody worth nothing to anybody, at least some thinbloods are worth something to somebody, and that could turn a night's entertainment into a big headache. Keep the bit of risk in mind with your every step.>This wasn't in the job description. So that's why nobody wanna be kicked out of the house.>I'm fucked, ain't I?Just a little. Welcome to your new life, Scarlet. We're glad to have you.
>>97202180>Malks who can slap you upside the head with schizophrenia>there's something about the way Toreadors make you *want* the manipulation that bothers me, in some ways more than nearly any other Clan.>>97202277>magic abilities that include hitting you with lightning or boiling your blood, as very vivid samples, and Tzimisce, who are infamous for frequently turning their enemies, or particularly unfortunate servants, into living, breathing, suffering furniture>punched the reinforced metal door clean off of its hinges. The strike pulverized both the hinges and the lock, sent the door flying, and the door itself on its way crumpled a few ghouls before ending up stuck halfway through a concrete wallOk I'm done with just singing about fear, insanity, darkness, tyranny, carnage. That was like child's play. This is the real shit and I wanna do, I wanna BE, the real shit.Fucked or not, now I really wanna be a vampire.
>>97196311>Ask me anything.Please add whichever musical instrument or accessory for it that you desire to your wishlist,I've been arguing for 20 minutes with Blue Fairy that taking a more proactive approach would mean to interfere with your art, and we shouldn't choose for you.Why would a Toreador need to be told this? Just how overworked is she? I have to do something about it.
>>97202511Can I get uuuuh some new bass strings. Soundproofing panels. Audio interface. Ooh this mic is cool. Added.What, I ain't done typing and you bought them all already?

Trapped in the mouth of the Whore with Skin of Milk and Hair of Oil, I can't move I can barely even breathe. Bad bad bad. Need to do something even if Snekferatu is right and I should make query.

I wonder if Bleus would get jealous if Chelys or Kakophoni started flirting with either Scarlet or Venus, btw what do they both look like?
>>97202180I learnt how to stomach blood that was downright rotten rancidly rotten from my time in mexico A lot of that is a story I’m unsure mentioning even in brief with my time spent in giovanii turf My ability to taste and smell humours really didn’t help but eventually blood that tastes of death tastes special in its own way even if it’s revolting Some seasoning tips would be appreciated though >>97200435Best nos women I saw smelt like dirt grass and moss Then again she ran with a bunch of gangrel and her skills with stealth were impressive to the point she often didn’t need to trench through sewers if there were any in her area >>97201751Well let’s focus it then Was it a good idea to take this job from the local regent and where will it lead me?Like the pay is really good, I got all the bagged blood in the world I want and a really good safehouse of a haven I just gotta put my neck on the line watching the flank providing tactical expertise and being the eyes to some much more heavy hitting goons I’m unsure if they are pissed off with me or will listen to my advice when the thin shovels used most of the tactics I said they would know how to learn Other squadies have gone from treating me like a hopeless wreck to a paranoid man who is often right on his money but has too much to say Most of my predictions on thin blood and sabbat tactics haven’t been wrong, though I’m not in the best position to judge when they happen and I feel like the matador is in a better position to predict that Gangrel mec also got back to me after routing into the night and going missing and said I was the smarter more instinctive yet also more feral wild animal
>>97204852Venus in Furs as seen by Princess Charming:Seen from the back, the combined oversized furs and not too long platinum blonde hair make you think she's in her 60s. From the front, she's definitely late 20s and lives up to her nickname: face and limbs of a supermodel, tits and ass of a porn star, voice and stage presence of your favorite fictional evil queen. Smart woman too, but rather than the usual meaning of book-smart or computer-smart, more like prepared, shrewd, discerning, so more Medea or Odysseus than Aristotle or Euclid.Update:She would always defeat me in a staring contest with those judgemental crystal light blue eyes. She has the most kissable fingers I have ever seen (not the toes, sorry Mamma, Blue Fairy's toes are cuter). I need to be ravished by her Beast before I die.How Venus in Furs dresses, as told by herself: >>96998057 >>96998060Scarlet before the embrace as seen by Princess Charming:A striking and very saturated fiery ruby dye on top of natural red hair. She's mid-20s but looks much older due to smoking, and a mature look that reminds me of Monica Bellucci and Megan Fox. She has the latter's scowl but with a complex eye color: blue-green with gold flecks. Her many tattoos and piercings were gone in preparation for the embrace and as Assoluta noticed, she gained some kg of muscle, she could pass as a kickboxer now. Her voice and posing are just as tough and mean as anything about her. Practical wisdom (phronesis more than sophia) with a passion for evil. Pale. She's working hard to find a compromise between her metal music roots and her Toreador destiny, like wearing a black gown.
>>97204712>What is the best way to defile one of your former masters?What I saw was a picture of this packmate talking to Blue Fairy. What I heard was tons of backbiting, sometimes even threats.A few nights later the valuderie cup was dropped, the rite became a huge fight, the Toreadors waltzed in and finished off the survivors. Assoluta sang the whole time, mocking them.I think what Venus and her childer did was a psyop to make the packmates question each other's loyalty.Idk how they did it or if that answers your question though. I didn't rescue myself from their clutches.If it ain't what you asked, wdym with defile and do you think the Sabbat have anything left you can defile besides a fragile trust?
>>97205187>If it ain't what you asked, wdym with defile and do you think the Sabbat have anything left you can defile besides a fragile trust?They took my friends and the people I liked hating. My neighbours. They took everything from me and I want to hurt them back. I want to do worse.>STOP MOVING YOUR HANDSI want to do worse but I know the worst thing would make my soul filthy. Trust. Little trust. If that is all they have then I will twist it.>SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPThank you for the advice new sister-cousin. :)
>>97201260Thank you. Barakallahoufiki>>97204712>The Show MasterCan you describe them? Do they use alternative social media frequently?>>97201227Thank you.>and let me draw a few cardsI have nothing against itInformations are scarce on this personThey're into the occultThat reminds me, >>97201377 I read you were part of a free state. Was there any newcomer these last three months? Or even a sudden departureNot as a true practitioner, at least nothing would support that assumption, "energy manipulation", spiritual rocks, tea leaves readings. Gender unknown, their height is average, about 5'6 to 5'8, observed clothing sizes: 31 for pants, 10 for tops, 10 for shoes, 33A cup size, this person might be in a relationship, blood type O-, subscribed to USA Today under the name Tobias Cux, multiple bank accounts under names like Samantha Fux or Bradley Crooper, my personnal opinion is that they believe to be very clever when they're definitely not, frequent user of forums like this oneNo picture
>>97206467The physical description you gave could describe a solid third or more of the people in my town, so without defining features like hair color or race I'm not going to be able to help with that. As for newcomers or recently departing people, nothing you wouldn't expect to see around the holidays. We don't have a particularly large "spiritual" scene here either, though I do actually keep tabs on the few stores for mortals who believe, tea-houses frequented by that sort. Haven't heard anyone using those names either, but if anything pops out at me I'll throw you a line. I'm assuming you're Banu Haqim given the username, and I've always been of the opinion that it's worth staying in the Clan of Judges good graces.
>>97205221>They took everything from me and I want to hurt them back. I want to do worse.Take my man Boy Toy, if I bend him over and peg him he likes it, most men don't. But if his sire says she doesn't love him anymore he suffers in a way that ain't fun.The Sabbat are conditioned to being hurt. Those that survive mass embraces are the fittest, possibly with a criminal or (para)military background. Abusive, violent sires are frequent. I myself got a high pain threshold.The Sabbat take it further, they turn their backs on (their own and other's) humanity. "Thou shalt not give a fuck." Can you kidnap the loved ones of somebody who can't love?If you wanna get back at the Sabbat, your best bet is helping the Cammies by informing them of Sabbat movements and activities, tell the Princes, Justicars, their underlings. Do a good job and they'll reward you.You could expose your Sabbat enemies as not as tough, loyal, above humanity & suffering as they say... to both Sabbat and Cammy kindred. Al least that's what I'd do.
>>97206467>Can you describe them? Do they use alternative social media frequently?Show master, the man with his balls in a vice...Pretends to be French but is probably German, never uses his true name, claimed it was because he was worried of witches but he had the stink of a used car salesman. Dressed like he was three hundred years old but acted like he was a dust-bowl child. 5'4, lean like a stick, clean shaven, pale, big blue eyes. Ran a little band with a freakshow theme. He is a middling fiddler and a decent drummer.>TREACHEROUS PIECE OF SHITHm. He also came with another; the Strong Man. Multifaceted as a diamond or an onion. 6'5, Dominican roots but lived long enough in America he had a Ozark accent, built like hunk of beef. Decent drummer, introverted, only used his voice a half dozen times he was here. Before everything went to Hell. Neither kept social media for their faces, but the Strong Man loathed technology.>I TELL YOU YOU SHALL KNOW HER BY HER SIGHS OF THE SPIRIT THAT PREVENTS PASSAGE BEYOND AND I KNOW HER WELLWhen the Show Master sold out our people to the Sabbat the Strong Man remained loyal to us and his new band mates. I can query him if you want. When Snekferatu has a folly and lets me escape.>>97207204There are no cammies up here. Not anymore. No one left in a month at all of the blood.
>>97208769>There are no cammies up here. Not anymore. No one left in a month at all of the blood.Wow. You're stuck with Anarchs if any, defectors, pitting the Sabbat against one another, clan vs clan, old vs new. Good luck.
Commencing stage two of Boy Toy's plan.
>>97209395Not that I'm complaining, but how are we so ahead of schedule? I had to work all night.
>>97209409Skill issue.
>>97209409>>97209417Just so we are perfectly clear: if you fail I am not saving you.
>>97209484Just so we are perfectly clear:1. I am thankful to Mother and to you for every second I was allowed to spend in your presence.2. I love you, Assoluta.3. I love you as a divine artist, partner in crime, lover, mentor, companion, dominatrix, inspiration, surrogate mother, friend, elder sister and consolation.4. I do not deserve you.5. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for coming into my unlife.
>>97204852Not especially. For a few reasons.1. They're friendly acquaintances at best. Bleu and Chelys have only interacted face-to-face a total of maybe two weeks, tops. Kakophoni even less time.2. Chelys is just flirtatious in general - in a previous thread he described Gomez Adams as his spirit animal - and Bleu plays along like a good courtesan would.3. And finally, Bleu's friendly, good-humored personality is 100% an act she puts on in public. She is very much the callous, cold-blooded psychopath that you would expect from a Setite on the Path of Sutekh. She would easily be Humanity 3 or maybe even 2 were she not on a Path.
I ordered a Tarot deck to pull cards from, and would you guess it, it arrived fucking MOLDY. Not very auspicious an omen for your vamps!>>97204712>The nature of the present in the first hand?Magician - Upright. Manifestation of will; possibility; potential. The present is fortuous in some way, whether direct or indirect, and offers vast potential and options to you. Follow your intuition, to an extent, enforce your will upon existence and it will bend readily and eagerly. This card is power made cardboard. Well, not cardboard in my case, but you get me. >my bondage to another?Knight of Cups - Upright. Knight in shining armor; romantic idealism; mad love, whether righteous or wrong. This card's a fun one to get in a relationship you don't quite like, yourself; it means either true love, sappy and saccharine, creativity and inspiration, or all that flipped and made fraught. Truth is most common, with illusion on the rarer end.Cards suggest there's something of value to this bondage of yours.A bonus one:>What will this bondage bring?King of Cups - Upright. Triumph; success; glory. Your moment to shine, your chance to reign supreme, your radiance and leadership made into inspiration for others. Whatever bondage you are in, seems like it'll eventually lead to something lovely for you.
>>97202277Could you post the pic of the Multihorn again? I'm intending to add some art with my next update on the events in Jacksonville/St. Augustine and I could use the reference. I couldn't find the pic in the archives.
>>97204997>Was it a good idea to take this job from the local regent and where will it lead me?Let's work with that, babycakes.Three-card spread, pulled all at once.Page Of Wands - Reversed. Unenthusiasm; apathy; disinterest.Four of Wands - Upright. Harmony; community; fruits of your labor.Chariot - Upright. Willpower; strength; victory.A complex question warrants a complex answer! One, strong reading I'm getting is that the job itself? Oh, it might just be perpetual drossness; not bad yet not good, hazy apathy and mundanity in which a Toreador would want to kill themselves. But eventually, through this job or in spite of it, you will build, or find, a foundation great and strong, community and friends and allies - and profit from it greatly; eventually, through a trial of your willpower and strength, you'll triumph. Not bad, all in all, though do remember that it's a matter of doing well enough.>>97206467Just one card, as a start, to not get too invested in whatever biz you're up to. Feel free to ask for more, I offer free readings still.Ace of Swords - Upright. New start; clarity; fresh thought. Typically, this card encourages to embrace one's mental prowess and intellectual talents to, as a sword, cut through confusion and haze of whatever's plaguing you. Kind of useless at a first glance, to ask for a clairvoyant reading and be told to figure it out yourself, lol.Buuut you could totes use this reading as a hint to who the person is, or what they're using as a cover, or what sort of activity the're up to; I'd not be shocked if your target's hiding as a private investigator or a police detective.One more, with no question thought and thus no guidance to the deck:Lovers - Upright. Love; relationships; care. That's a fun one to get, a card speaking of, well, love, of relationships - and of need to balance one's needs with those of others.
>>97209655Why is it that you never use such a florid verbiage when talking to me?
>>97210440Of course, here you go! Just in case this helps, the artist stuck an erect dick at that blacked out part on the leg. Because why wouldn't you want a unicorn with a dick-knee.
>>97210492Does a son need a list of reasons, or a declaration of love, before he can love his Mother?

>>972105801. I believe in show, don't tell. Let me and Blue Fairy show you our love.2. We will reunite this family, add Scarlet to it, and our bonds will be stronger than ever.3. You wanted a bigger and better family, you deserve it, and you will have it.

Who knows, he might still be there>>97210461Thank you again>Love; relationships; care.You made me think of something. There was only one type of clothing in their flat, mostly androgynous garment, so I assumed their was only one person, probably male and that they had an affair with one of their cult member the night beforeWhat if they were two from the start? It seems obvious writing it but my order was and still is for one strikeI have things to ponderAs I finish reading up the archives, the only posts where I could recognise some writing pattern came from someone who stopped long before I got here.I will now take my leaveBsslamaJudges...

>>97205187>wdym with defileDiablerie. Whence one takes a vampire, drinks it dry, drink till its dead, take its power. It's a trip. Normally this'd be where I reccomending pulling it on your boss, but in your case it's liable to give her a brand new body. I don't like the histronic language cammies attach to it, but it does have an affect that depending on who you drain would be pretty disgusting. Personally though, I think Licks just hate the idea lf someone seeing them like they see everyone else. Especially someone "beneath" them.
Christmas came early.Of tonight’s many surprises, the first were the many questions the Prince of Bridgeport had for my new childe, Scarlet. I didn’t expect such a curiosity for the “art” of extreme metal from that person. Since her presentation took longer than I had planned, I took the liberty to request a very close inspection of the Prince’s official seal, to save ourselves the embarrassment of mistaking a counterfeit for the original.Once I brought my redhead back to our mansion, The Chimneys, together with Mercury Lamp, my little doll who makes dolls, we got out of the McLaren only to be assaulted by these LOUD, bone-shattering sounds:https://vocaroo.com/1gzqlgo2q2n7I asked Scarlet what that was, she said: “Saint Vitus.”I rushed inside, but instead of a coherent explanation, I found the next surprise: a completely unrecognisable family of childer.Assoluta, our opera singer, making the entrance hall tremble with a V-shaped electric guitar. Her little sister Blue Fairy, my Wasian martial artist at the drums, used to hit things really fast. More recognisable was Boy Toy, my philosopher-operative and #1 slave, kneeling and wearing naught but a collar and a pair of boxers, but even he acted out of character, as he didn’t deliver the promised cigarettes, but handed Scarlet her electric bass. But the worst offender was uncle The Devil Wears Me, my personal stylist, now in blue jeans, a bandanna and a black T-shirt with ripped-off sleeves, in front of a microphone stand.Thus began the performance:“Echoes of screamingThat fell on deaf earsChaos still reignsFueled by the tearsOf children in anguishTheir lives torn apartBegging for help fromCold black heartsHeaven can't help usHell puts us downThat's what it's like onThe bleeding ground”As I saw Mercury Lamp headbanging with her disturbing puppet-like movements, I questioned my sanity. Princess Charming, Ventrue girlfriend of Blue Fairy came to my rescue: “Scarlet is enjoying herself!”
>>97213807She was right. Assoluta transfixed Scarlet twice. First with the fast and complex guitar solo at the end of The Bleeding Ground, and again when Scarlet erroneously thought the instrument was one of tonight’s many presents for her. “No, bitch! This Schechter is mine!”, yelled the older sister. Since when does my prima donna like distortion? Fuzz? Heavy metal?!To awaken Scarlet from the double metalgasm, Boy Toy would take her outside to let her smoke in a bespoke, long 1920s-style cigarette holder with the help of a matching new luxury lighter, the first gifts she demanded. Meanwhile Blue Fairy crudely threw Mercury Lamp with the other dolls in her room, the latter was still headbanging until she could happily open her many presents with her tiny hands.Since Blue Fairy failed to oversee Scarlet’s actions when she was a mortal, and Boy Toy failed to execute her when ordered to, and my patience kept running thinner and thinner, I asked if what I had just witnessed was their grand strategy to get me to forgive them.“No!”, four childer answered in unison.Boy Toy rolled a red carpet, Princess Charming summoned my staff to fix my makeup, our “band” left to get a change of clothes. Uncle The Devil Wears Me, evidently unperturbed by his impaired gait, came back decently dressed, while Princess Charming returned with a full-length mirror on wheels, covered in a dark cloth. More staff came to watch, followed by the blood dolls we feed on regularly.Evidently I found myself as the spectator- nay, the protagonist, of a well-rehearsed comedy, and the only way out of it was through. I tossed my long mink coat onto my touch-starved Boy Toy, desperate to smell my bespoke perfume again, closed my eyes and had my makeup taken care of.With extreme care, they replaced my mink with a heavier fur coat. The same speakers used for the performance blasted the Overture from Bizet’s Carmen:https://youtu.be/pmuFOuh3QHs
>>97213817I opened my eyes. In my left hand was a chain connected to Boy Toy’s collar, whose lips were on my foot. My right hand was holding an elephant hide flogger that even he fears, and Blue Fairy, in a finished white lion’s mane coat over her signature white latex outfit, was kissing me on this hand. Behind me was my tallest childe, Assoluta, whose snow leopard coat matched her grey eyes, kissing my neck. The army of staff mixed with the herd bombarded me with camera flashes like Hollywood paparazzi.The veil was lifted over the mirror. All over my body was the coat of my dreams, made of eight pelts of the majestic Amur leopard, rarest among the big cats, and with guard hair as long as three inches - every single one of which looks better on me, if I dare say so myself.In an instant, I snarled at Assoluta, punted Boy Toy, who had just taken his collar off somehow, and I whipped the air around Blue Fairy, who artfully dodged the flogger with a cartwheel. The trio retreated. Only my image, yes, the image of the fairest of them all, is allowed to be reflected on that mirror.When was the last time I wanted to fuck the lady inside the mirror so bad? It’s been over a hundred years, I’m sure. Aaaahh~ Is this how Narcissus felt? Even now I’m typing with one hand. Ooohhhn~ Gorgeous, the absolute perfection! Yessss~ Mmmmmh~Then the mirror broke. So did the spell. Boy Toy and Blue Fairy finally told me what the plan was about: to save themselves from the wrath of the Venus in Furs, they needed a more magnificent, more sublime and more powerful Venus in Furs. In the end, they implored this new and upgraded Mother to give them a slap.I wanted to know more about all their disadventures, and how they got their hands on the exotic pelts without my help, but that will have to wait. I gave the command to fix my makeup once more and prepare a party in honour the reunited, bigger family.
>>97213822As for those two cheeky little shits, like in those days I was a professional dominatrix for kine, not kindred, I ordered them to clench their teeth, and tapped their cheeks with my four fingers.CREDITSCAST(in order of appearance)CLAN TOREADORVenus in Furs, Matriarch - DIVA MASTIX LASCHAssoluta, older sister - AURELIA HIERSCHEL DE MINERBIMercury Lamp, doll who makes dolls - PRIMROSEBoy Toy, brother - SIRIO ASCARIBlue Fairy, younger sister - HYUN-AH JANG (장현아, 張賢娥, Jang Hyun-ah)The Devil Wears Me, uncle - WILBUR ZOHARScarlet, fledgling - DY'TH MAJESTRÏX THIRSYSCLAN VENTRUEPrincess Charming, girlfriend of Blue Fairy - PRISCILLA FEROLDI ANTONISI DE ROSAVEHICLES2021 McLaren Speedtail, Amethyst Black (Venus in Furs)2021 Ferrari 812 GTS, Blu Swaters (Assoluta)2026 Subaru "Hurricane 1300 WRX", custom unpainted carbon fiber body (Boy Toy)2024 Mclaren 750S Coupé, Cosmos Black (Blue Fairy)2022 Pagani Utopia Coupé, Grigio Rinascimento (The Devil Wears Me)2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Coupé 3LZ, Black with asymmetrical Edge Red/Carbon Flash dual racing stripes, ZTK Track Performance Package, Carbon Fiber Aero Package and all other carbon fiber options (Scarlet)2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, Rhodium Silver Metallic (Princess Charming)I hope you enjoyed my silly little comedy, even if it didn't live up to the hype or your expectations.

The Toreadors are off cavorting. And what do I get?Guard duty.
has anybody ever drank from a president?not any one in particular, just a president of the US or any country i guess
>>97214061I think messing with any head of state is looked down upon since at least the 12th centurywould give too much power to one kindred you know
>>97210507>Least deranged Tzimisce creation
>>97212291>DiablerieSo that's what it's called.>this'd be where I reccomending pulling it on your bossHaha I ain't even a week old. Can't I pull it on a defeated enemy of hers or something?>>97214061Idk I guess before the prez gets elected, or in some "Democratic Republic of" in the heart of Africa?
How's this for a speciality? Lol
>>97131386>What's your favorite clan after your own?Salubri are one of the best and without a doubt, the most wholesome clan in Kindred history. And a friendship between a deranged megalomaniac Tzimisce and a faithful, pious Christian Salubri who tries and never gives up to set his best friend on the right path is one of the most wholesome scene imaginable.Yet another reason, why tr*meres should be exterminated and turned into furniture.
The women of the house are working their asses off on xmas week. So is my Boy Toy, but he had some time for a test drive of the 'Vette and his reward. Two badass rides.He told me about his embrace: he was sleeping on the floor next to Venus' bed, too drained and cold, she saw he him shaking, then put a bedsheet on him and pat his head. He shed a tear and confessed to her: "I wish you were my mother." "Granted.", the mistress said.Man do I look hot and wicked with this black fox and 20s cig holder he got me. Blue Fairy is pestering me again for selfies, fine, took one blowing smoke on my phone, another almost touching the cam with my cig. Bet she wants more. Wait why ain't I selling this shit online yet? Cuz I'm dumb that's why.Lotta lonely folks these nights, more than I thought, like me, stuck in this empty mansion with a doll's manners classes and a lame guy in his 40s teaching me art.Like, can they teach me Disciplines yet? Save. Me.
Oh and before Venus left she took a sip of vitae out of Blue Fairy and Boy Toy.Ain't ever seen her do that before. I texted them but I think they muted their notifs. Yeah too busy.Is that a thing? The tithe OneInchAllah >>97200590 talked about? Or blood bond? What's the difference again?
>>97215848>Yet another reason, why tr*meres should be exterminated and turned into furniture.While you mostly mean other people, since I doubt my particular little clique did anything to you, I'm still foreseeing a holy water enema in your future if you keep up this course, babycakes.>>97217007That's some freaky shit! I've honestly not heard of vamp mommies drinking their vamp-kid blood for any reason. That does tend to make a blood bond, and nobody wants to be a slave of their kid. Seems like your new mom's got something fun going on. Could be that it's just how she makes sure she treats you all lovingly and tenderly despite her sadistic tendencies, or something - hard to accidentally go overboard on punishing you if she's got a supernatural vice grip on her soul telling her to treat you as softly as she can.>>97215685>Can't I pull it on a defeated enemy of hers or something?I mean, theoretically, you can try. It's kind of a no-no. Everybody who's anybody would be able to tell, and most people would think you're a freak for it, and figure that you'll be out to eat them next. Oh, and whoever you eat might just overpower you and take control of your body. I honestly never got why some people are so into drinking other vampires, in the cases you can actually pull it off without major backfiring risk it's not even going to give you that much. I guess some people just can never fucking settle.>>97212045>my order was and still is for one strikeIf they're real-tight-together lovers, one of them dying could just destabilize the other so much, they won't be a threat anymore.Happy hunting!
>>97215685>Can't I pull it on a defeated enemy of hers or something?Hypothetically, but if you're thinking of those Caitiffs you raided, think again; it's got to be an older, stronger vampire.>>97217679>I guess some people just can never fucking settle.Settling is for Cammies.
Fuck me I wasted half the night setting up this new phone when staff could've done most of it. Note to self: there are servants under this roof so use the fucking servants you dumb bitch.>>97217679>That's some freaky shit!Too much freaky shit going on in this house, so built different it's probs got its own laws of physics.Like Mercury Lamp challenges me to hide-and-seek. Ok, time to practice Auspex I think, or whatever it's called. I don't find her, what I do find is there are dolls who are people and not puppets or robots.The fuck?When Mercury Lamp's done giggling, she crawls from under the bed and tells me the dollhouse is a sanctuary for the youngest victims of supernatural creatures.Traumatized children with little to no hope of going "back" to normal society, but deserve protection, food, education and to play all the same. I can respect this, I'm evil but I'm not bad, you know.With mommy dearest now gone, Mercury Lamp needs an adult to play the Evil Queen in her Snow White puppet show. No way I let someone nicknamed "Princess Charming" play the bad guy, she'd make a pretty damn fine tree, though.When they finish my makeup I'll send Blue Fairy more selfies. This black fox coat is one solid investment, next time I see Boy Toy I ravish him on the spot.>I've honestly not heard of vamp mommies drinking their vamp-kid blood for any reason. That does tend to make a blood bond, and nobody wants to be a slave of their kid. Seems like your new mom's got something fun going on.Like, is the supernatural part of blood bond less effective if you truly love somebody the hard way?>whoever you eat might just overpower you and take control of your bodyCool, another reason not to eat mom.>>97218344>Settling is for Cammies.Do they diablerize more in the Sabbat?Scarlet you sweet winter childe. She is being trolled by the Merits of her sire and her progeny. I swear I didn't deliberately design an obstacle course for fledgling, it just happened.
Update 8 First off, >:( and I'll get into the specifics of that with individual people present hereafter the recap is done. But let it be known I'm not a happy woman.>Past few nights since I went dark have been mostly quiet, outside of looting and the remaining members of the Hunt-Group being raided / skipping town. Most of this was done by the Northern Loup camp, although they've had indirect help from just about every supernatural group present. >Their war included an episode where the Wentiko overran a whole suburban street. They also fire-bombed the local strip-mall complex. All in order to drive out the vestiges. They mostly succeeded as there's maybe two dozen left squatting over by the Woodland Park Apartments. Or what's left of them. Mostly Brazilians who are stil devoted to their secret mission.>The "Sabbat" Trio and their pets managed to repulse the Wolves and the hunters in one incident over by Dead River. None were spotted but I can only assume they're in the area. Why they're next to the burnt out NWBP building I will explain in a moment. >The national guard is due to be deployed at some point, although it seems like the there are some people in the Church and the Federal Government interfering. At least if my contacts are being forthcoming. Either way at this point this place is a haunted shell of itself that as a consequence of 'natural disasters' and 'industrial sabotage' will take years to recover.>What's left of the 'Village People' are making plans to leave as without NWBP or any reasonable population, we can't stay. The only one really broken up about this ironically is Halal. Bless her. But everyone is... Anxious. We didn't have much affiliation up here outside of just sort of being a loose community. Agreement not to sire, protect one another, avoid inviting trouble. A little 'Carthage' someone called it. Hatshepsup is shopping around for the time being and I'm leaving it in her hands. I don't really know what I'm doing.
>>97218529>Now. For why I've been gone and why you all had the opportunity to talk with "Mèo-Mèo." >Back when I last left you, myself and Teddy went in to investigate what was left of the NWBP building. Which wasn't much on the ground floor or the upper basement. Where they had all their fluid storage and their basic labs. However in the 'lower basement' that was supposed to be for storing equipment? There was storage but it looked like they had an oil well running down there, in terms of the actual machinery. If you ignored the smell. Teddy ran to bring back reinforcements when it became clear this was big, but between the 'Sabbat' lurking around and the North Camp Loup he wasn't able to return that night. For the better. If he had, there was a good chance he'd have been killed. Along with anyone who'd come with him.>To make a long story short, back in the 40s someone discovered there was something big under this portion of Lake Superior and some of the Peninsula. NWBP was one of the first to drill down to it, back in the 60s. But they dug out an entire complex to 'harvest' parts of the Flesh for whatever reasons back in 72, and followed up with several expeditions. Seemingly to keep a supply of anomalous biological material for themselves. Cross-Referencing the information I received from my Uruguayan contact on the old government contracts, it seems the materials provided were the sole reason NWBP was able to avoid going under or being devoured by PENTEX back in the day. >All this would be fine and dandy if they didn't have a bunch of missing persons reports that spanned between 1975 and 2003. Mostly children. In order to get the 'ripe product' it had to be 'induced.'>Really I>I would like to be dead on the inside.>After digging through the documentation that would get these people lynched in a just world I had the misfortune of being in the building for an 'earthquake.'
>>97218539>This 'Earthquake' swallowed the basement. Collapsed a good potion of NWBP ruins right on top of me and trapped me down there. With my only real option being deeper into the pit or be crushed when the ceiling collapsed.>Thankfully, before they retreated the NWBP company had left some operation platforms down there deep inside the hideous abomination. After grabbing all the evidence I could I spent the next few hours descending.>It is as disconcerting as the evidence provided looks. Definitely isn't Grandmother Gangrel or Uncle Thas, and I don't know what it is. I don't want to know. What I do know is I NEVER want to go down there ever again. >I managed to reach the old primary 'hub' of the NWBP network inside the flesh. Got myself some more information (although most of the material within was rotted away) and not much else. > Had to spend days sleeping in absolute darkness and squelching. Nights trying to figure my way out in that rusted mess. I won't lie, I was worried I'd end up trapped. > Now imagine this. You're seemingly alone in a hideous nightmarish place that defies every law of reality you prior believed. You are hundreds of feet below the earth, your only hope of escape is a decrepit elevator shaft locked at the top. Now you, barely awake from long rest, have someone drinking your blood. >Mèo-Mèo in her infinite wisdom wormed her way through the NWBP ruins, crawled down to me, and Blood-Bound herself to me for reasons I still don't fully grasp.
>>97218553>Regardless, with her help we were able to escape up the elevator shaft, leading into North Loup territory and we got back to safety without much issue. However on the way out we saw 'Sabbat' mongrels stalking what was left of the NWBP lot. It's only a matter of time before they get down there. Either worming through or smelling out the elevator system we escaped from.>Seems like everything that came to this town is about to crash trying to get at the Flesh, now that I've accidentally opened up a direct path into the belly of the beast. Currently trying to decide what I'm going to do about it, now that I have a mess of a Malkavian stuck on my side.>More updates as they come. Marquette out.>>97212045If you have information about our newcomers in all this I'd love to hear it. Show-Master damn near almost got a number of my neighbours killed. Also, concerning that vizier, do you have any information on them? I have a fledgling here who I believe is of your clan and could use some assistance with her. >>97210423I feel it would be unfair to blame you for the actions of insanity that recently transpired. With that said I now have this Viet-Hooser goblin latched onto me and I can only hope she's happy with this arrangement. Hmph. Judging from her messages here...>>97215685Don't bother with it fledgling. It's worse than what Colma is letting on. I've had the privilege of seeing what that does to a person. There isn't a 'person' left after a while. It only takes one, and then just about everyone of the blood will smell it on you. Either getting you killed, or ensuring it is never 'just one.'
>>97217679>*snaps fingerssorry, what was that, you were trying to say?
>>97215685DONT LISTEN TO THESE DECEPTIONS, YOUNG ONE!You'll be marked for death for doing this by everyone and have the victims soul stuck within you. You dont want some nasty Methuselah overriding your psyche, do you?
>>97218539Well. That's a disturbingly familiar image. Looks like they're flesh crafting to make a Szlachta, or an army of them. >>97218553>>97218569Or a Vozhd the size of a House. Though at least it doesn't seem to be active, yet.
>>97218903>Or a Vozhd the size of a House...With Tzimisce existing, I always wonder how the Get of Seth fail to notice the existence of Cainites living among them. Seriously, Who even manages to hide and clean up after the fiends' machinations and shenanigans?
>>97218903>Check the size of the town>Check prior reports>This thing is about 800meters long >Just from whats been seenIs it possible for a Tzimsi to unconsciously make Szlachta?>>97218933The first response of the Kine when discovering such things seems to be 'how can I benefit from this?'Judging from those reports they jumped onto the sort of blood-hunting behaviour I would expect of the most perverse blue bloods.
My performance as the terrible Evil Queen of the puppet show made two of the humans I believed were dolls cry.I felt worse than shit but Mercury Lamp was ecstatic: "They suffer from a severe psychosis, they're usually catatonic so having them visibly express any emotion at all is another early xmas miracle!" A ghouled nurse praised me too.Can people be normal for 15 fucking minutes.>>97218569>>97218694Alright, alright! I'm throwing my hands up in the air!(In a posh Bri'ish English accent) "Bad Scarlet! Naughty! Do not think about Diablerie!">>97218973>The first response of the Kine when discovering such things seems to be 'how can I benefit from this?'Do kindred not think like that? What do they think, then? What should they think?
>>97218973>This thing is about 800 meters longA Half Mile long War Ghoul. Caine Wept.>Is it possible for a Tzimsi to unconsciously make SzlachtI've seen Tzimisce unconsciously fleshcraft, but at this scale it'd require some major mojo, especially if they're not touching the ghoul(s) being crafted. That's assuming this is the work of a Tzimisce at all.
>>97219082>Can people be normal for 15 fucking minutes.No. >"Bad Scarlet! Naughty! Do not think about Diablerie!"I have one brat in my life I do not need another.>Do kindred not think like that? What do they think, then? What should they think?I should hope they would think; 'ah yes, an enormous threat to my existance, let me make sure this isn't the reason they drop the sun on us.' Hope being the key word. For some reason some of our blood get big eyes around these things.We're going too need to feed a few of such big eyed idiots to the wolves.>>97219112I wish it were just a war ghoul. We could hypothetically kill it then, or have let the hunters deal with it. It could be a Laibon abomination, a dormant Tzim, or the product of something else entirely. Or worse an amalgamation. It would explain why this thing breaks down mundane people into Szlachta.
>>97219082>Do not think about DiablerieYou will, in time.We all do. We're all craving sweet, sweet Anima.Your Bestia won't ask for your permission.
>>97219579>Now, instead of two voices in my head, now I have three, no four, no five!...Enjoy your eternal torment in this world and the next, bloodleech
>>97219631You blindly repeat things your superiors, who don't want you to experience the thrill of success, said to you.You.Are.Beneath.Me.
>>97219721*sigh*>*snaps finger and erases mouth of the pathetic lickWhy are these whelps nowadays so rude and uncouth? I swear, these childer are becoming more degraded and idiotic each passing century. Its not easy being a Dragon and trying to be loyal to my Humanity and commandments of God as is, but nowadays I have to constantly fight my urge to turn these arrogant upstarts into a tableware in addition to that.
>>97219802>into a tablewareI DARE you to try. Chamaedracon suits you better.
>>97219802A church-going elder Tzimisce? In this economy and age?
>>97218553>Blood-Bound herself to me for reasons I still don't fully grasp.How? Why? What type of freak would willingly take up the Fealty?
>>97219721>>97219802You sound like two of my ghouls beating their chests at one another. Have some bloody decorum.>>97220082All sorts of odd things these days. I'll take the Dragons venerating the Virgin Mary over the Shadow-Clan thinking they're welcome in Cammie lands.
>>97220471You can't understand if you never experienced the love-hate sexual Kiss, passion in its ultimate form
>>97220471It is... Something. I wouldn't call it any of those words normally. I would call it possession.Much as the concept is revolting to me, Mèo-Mèo at least is doing better. Or as good as she can be.>>97220471>How?Can't say. To my understanding a bond like this usually takes time and she jumped it.>Why?SOMEONE here egged her on. Although, I would be lying if I said that wasn't just the catalyst to a miserable situation where 'squatting in the dirt den of a Gang who lets you hug during panic attacks' is a world changing event.
>>97218344>Settling is for Cammies.Settling is for people who know when to quit, babycakes. I guess it can't be helped, if you just don't see the future and its many perils as clear as I do!>>97218469>Like, is the supernatural part of blood bond less effective if you truly love somebody the hard way?Vitae and its bonding aspects are the specialty of one of my siblings, but not mine, so I don't know it super-well, much as it chafes against my super-smug persona to admit I don't know something. That said, I'm fairly confident that true love don't matter for shit, babes, blood bond's the blood bond.If you love somebody like a mother, the blood bond might focus on that, and if you want to fuck them, it'll probably be romantic and sexual instead, and there's a lot other angles, even hate-fucking and rivalry as blood-bond fuel. Buuuut at the end of the day, blood bonds are slavery! Next to chains of iron, whatever emotions somebody feels really doesn't matter for shit.>Do they diablerize more in the Sabbat?That they do! Which is reason number ten thousand why hanging with them is usually for the sort of people who just can't fucking sit still for five minutes.>>97218529> >:(;)
>>97218569>I feel it would be unfair to blame you for the actions of insanity that recently transpired. Oh, nah, babes, feel free to blame the seer for your fortunes and misfortunes! I really don't mind, it's part of the job description to be the bringer of the good and the bad and to be blamed for both. And I like it, kind of, gives me a feeling of power. Plus, if it helps any, she's got a solid reading, so if she's attached to you, you get to benefit from it by that. Not all bad, now is it, eh? Ehhh???>>97219082>Alright, alright! I'm throwing my hands up in the air!>(In a posh Bri'ish English accent) "Bad Scarlet! Naughty! Do not think about Diablerie!"Good bat-baby. Very well-behaved and reasonable. >>97218627Seven of Cups - Upright. Daydreaming; illusions; fantasies.>>97221167>SOMEONE here egged her on.Don't personalize my cards that way! They get really uppity if you treat them like people. And me, I am just a conduit for their endless wisdom.Want a few more readings, maybe for that giant Tzimmy thing, or for whether you should be boarding the next flight off of the continent?
>>97221833>Plus, if it helps any, she's got a solid reading, so if she's attached to you, you get to benefit from it by that. Not all bad, now is it, eh? Ehhh???I don't want to benefit from someone else being in thralldom. Only reason I can tolerate this is a bond is somehow better than the default Malk mental package and I refuse to treat her like a thrall.>Want a few more readings, maybe for that giant Tzimmy thing, or for whether you should be boarding the next flight off of the continent?Sure. More the former than the latter though. There are a few options and I'll leave Marquette when everyone else in the community is packed and on the road.
>>97221827>Settling is for people who know when to quit, babycakes. I will quit when your puppetmasters are dead and our kind isn't made to hide in the shaodws for their benefit. Until then, we are at war and I'll fight with what resources are at my disposal.>I guess it can't be helped, if you just don't see the future and its many perils as clear as I do!That I'll grow addicted. That I'll lose my mind. That my Self will be suborned partially or in totality by my victims. That for eternity the action will mark me as a cannibal among my kind. That I'll see every other vampire, my pack included; as a meal. I know the perils. I can live with them, given the alternative.
I think I cracked the code.Assoluta came home acting like I was still a blood doll, open mouth, fangs out, but she stopped.I was like: "Not hungry? Don't wanna be blood bond?", but she revealed she's unusually resistant to it, and stopped cuz I'm not a servant anymore. "Force of habit", she said.If my theory's right, she got it from Venus, and they're free to drink our vitae with no side effects.Which do you think is freakier, guys, this resistance, or being intentionally blood bond to your childe?>>97219461>I have one brat in my life I do not need another.>>97221833>Good bat-baby. Very well-behaved and reasonable.I was making fun of my sire nagging me, British accent and all that...
>>97224898>Which do you think is freakier, guys, this resistance, or being intentionally blood bondwanna try?
>>97220082Many such cases, actually. You folks just accentuate more about the sabbatard renegades with mental illnesses.
>>97224898Can it be learned? That resistance to the bond? Induced? Inquire if you would.>I have one brat in my life I do not need another.I said what I said. You're not nearly schizophrenic/cute to be considered.
>>97198846>one damned cigaretteI can't have a cigarette, I could smoke a pack but my dead lungs don't work. Even if I force blood in them it won't absorb the nicotene, it won't make my brain pulse, because my brain is dead. How the fuck does a dead man smoke cigarettes. I hang outside clubs, hopign to smell that stink, to find that vixen, that one who's too drunk and smoking too much when its too cold with no jacket. Fuck I want to breath in that stink, but instead I wait. The drunk are easy, just wait. They'll make a mistake. And there it is, she stumbled left, she left the crowd, she only has one cig left and I am left carrying her. Just around the corner , out of sight, out of ear shot. It only takes a moment, I run my hands over it, my nose over it. That smell, that ashy burnt smell, I bite. It's a foundational issue. Why did you put one cigarette at the bottom. Why do I need just > One last cigarette Forever. I turn her around, I bring her back. I recognize her friends, I've been following their smell, it's not the first time. I should just stop. I'm a dead thing, I don't need this. But my head aches for it, my blood sings for it. I put my ciggie back in it's pack. They carry her away. They laugh about how trashed she gets. Her head lols on their shoulder and for a moment, unknown to the rest. Our eyes meet. >She winksI exhale, I can finally get about my night. I finally feel that pressure in my head let up, I feel not alive but ready to put up with all the bullshit and all the clowns, my circus of corpses. Fuck. I should really quit smoking.
>>97222828>I don't want to benefit from someone else being in thralldom. Only reason I can tolerate this is a bond is somehow better than the default Malk mental package and I refuse to treat her like a thrall.Oh, I don't mean it like that, babes! Not into that sort of slavery myself, comes with the Tremere turf to not like it overmuch.I meant more, she got a good reading for questions relating to how well her bondage would go. She'd benefit from it, in some way - and she's liking it. That means that the bondage will perhaps continue for a decent while, to good results; and that means that you, yourself, are probably not going to suddenly die tomorrow. Can't be bound to a pile of ash, now can she. Inferring good things for yourself out of readings for other people is a fine art, where you've got to balance an urge to see yourself not die horribly with realism and a bit of skepticism. This, I think, definitely leans towards a justifiable good reading for you, all in all. So you benefit.>>97224898>I was making fun of my sire nagging me, British accent and all that...Oh, I can tell, I just wanted to scold you a little. I don't get to call people bat-babies very often.And your resistance thing is fun! Not sure if it's actually real or you all are just insane and are knee-deep in interwoven blood bonds, but I have heard about blood bond resistance, even if mostly through third- and fourth-hand studies and that relative I mentioned who is all about the fucking vitae ranting on and on about the bonds. >Which do you think is freakier, guys, this resistance, or being intentionally blood bond to your childe?Oh, easily the latter. The former is just a quirk of the curse, the latter is most probably some sort of fetish, or a bit of masochistic penance. Definitely freaky.>>97224573>I will quit when your puppetmasters are dead and our kind isn't made to hide in the shaodws for their benefit. I hide in shadows because the sun would set me on fire, mostly.
A little conversation with Assoluta:Me: "Did Blue Fairy want my smoking selfies to hook me up with some fetishist, not just for personal use?"Assoluta: "Clever girl."M: "So what happens in your dates?"A: "Ever heard of host clubs, enjo kousai, Sasha Grey's Girlfriend Experience?"M: "Paid companionship."A: "Do you like my new ring?"M: "That’s insane! Be real with me, are you a prostitute?"A: "No. This pussy costs more than this ring. I'm a professional dominatrix at most."M: "Am I being pimped?"A: "If you want to live under this roof, put food on the table. You can't be a freeloader forever, fledgling. Play a game, collect the reward, smile. Most women can't do this simple task. Are you most women? Would you rather go back to your Sabbat abusers?"M: "Won't Boy Toy get jealous?"A: "Philosophers are resilient, operators want results. Which Toreador is worse: jealous or bored? Did you think your Corvette or those Amur leopard pelts for Mother's coat were free? Her Speedtail's price was as much as our mansion's."M: "Is he fucking like a Russian oligarch's cousin's daughter?"A: "Right now? Chinese. Sex-ed classes."M: "Sigh. That Mercedes' been out there for a while. Is that your date? And his mental illness is..."A: "Being ignored, mistreated, rejected. When I get in the car, he'll hand me a bouquet, you’ll see it fly out the window. Be a good girl for me, and throw the flowers in the trashcan. Make sure he sees it."Assoluta's jewels and arctic marble fox boa go hard, and her unaffordable ass looks so hot in that tight, sparkly, hunter green mermaid gown.Damn.

Is it true that Nossies love Christmas because of all the extra trash they can scavenge?
>>97228643That's anyone who does dumpster diving.
Once I gave Boy Toy a warm, foxy welcome back, my research on adult games continued.Me: "How's the Chinese girl?"BT: "Which one? Ah, right. Too tight, inexperienced. Her family will shoot me if they hear this, but she's a slow learner and lacks motivation. It's not pleasant. You are."Me: "Will you get jealous if I start playing games with other adults?"BT: "Do you get jealous when I call a car 'she'? That's about as jealous you'll make me."Me: "I take that as a no."BT: "That is work. Work is a thing, romance is another. I wonder what will you get your boyfriend once you start earning something."Me: (in a Bri'ish accent) "I s'pose I could put a sound, well merited arse whipping under the tree, then."BT: "And I do deserve it, 'Mother.' When you're ready, tell either Princess Charming or Uncle you have money to invest."Me: "Any tips before I get it?"BT: "Advance payment."Now for the hard part: earning my next paycheck.
It appears a Sabbat war party has entered the haven, since there's a good many of them I'm being allowed to use of Scholar's experiments to deal with the intruders. I must admit that while it's a little embarrassing I am looking forward to fighting, been a while since I've gotten bloody. Will let you all know how it goes. -Kakophoni
Just came back from making some Christmas art in Estonia. Feels good. No one need's to know it was me either.>>97228725It makes me sad the peasantry need to dumpster dive when they can just ask me for my trash instead. I don't ask much in return either, but that's unlife.
>>97222828>Sure. More the former than the latter though. There are a few options and I'll leave Marquette when everyone else in the community is packed and on the road.I'll do two readings; simple three-card one, and a larger one, more complex, with a bit of extra ritual bullshit. That one will take more time to prepare, because I'd prefer to ward myself against the thing or its theoretical owner looking back at me in response for me looking at it.Nine of Cups - Upright. Wishes come true; dreams come true; celebration of how good you have it.Queen of Cups - Reversed. Emotional instability; immaturity; self-centeredness.Five of Pentacles - Reversed. Chaos and hardship, in past tense; recovery; restoration from misery.An interesting initial reading; for really complex things they can be sometimes wrong or difficult to interpret, or intently sabotaged by somebody capable of misdirecting scrying. Equally, though, sometimes the cards punch through defences, so I'll cautiously presume they're not very wrong, for now. My first guess is that the cards suggest something like this:>Nine of Cups - UprightThe Tzimmy-Thing is in contentment; its hiding is not a sign of weakness or of nurturing itself, but an end goal for the Tzimmy-Thing. It is where it wants to be.>Queen of Cups - ReversedThe Tzimmy-Thing is not quite mentally all there. Perhaps it is a Tzimisce elder who achieved some sort of enlightenment, going far past human mentality, for better and for worse?>Five of Pentacles - UprightThe Tzimmy-Thing was in turmoil before, but it sure isn't now; it's past that. So, perhaps the thing is some sort of happy, stable flesh horror; it's inert on its own, uninterested in going anywhere from its hidey-hole, at least for now, but interference with it may wake it up and remind it that it used to want things, and to point out to it that there are people cutting into it. Maybe it's a Tzimisce elder who turned themselves into a small, self-sustaining ecosystem.
I think I heard gunshots?>>97232851Consider telling your date he's your first customer, they almost always give you more.
Good grief! Trespassers on Christmas week? Oh for the love of Caine, is nothing sacred anymore?>>97234606>I think I heard gunshots?Don't worry, honey, that was Boy Toy's anti-materiel rifle, he already took care of the matter.
The trespassers' choice of clothes was sufficient ground to shoot them.
Not a week in this city without something else absurd and unreasonable. Fingers crossed it's just some Kine drunk or local activist protesting the gentrification of mildly historical neighborhoods.>>97234654I'd advise being careful while approaching the body - it may be a ghoul left over from the Palatine, with explosives in their abdomen, or some other sort of suicidal saboteur. Not likely, but also not impossible, as of late. >>97234606On a brighter note, my flight schedule is clear from Christmas to Orthodox Christmas. If you or Blue Fairy wish to redeem the favor my coterie and the city owe you two for the fashion show, I'd be happy to fly you whenever and wherever.
>>97234732>my flight schedule is clear from Christmas to Orthodox Christmas. If you or Blue Fairy wish to redeem the favor my coterie and the city owe you two for the fashion show, I'd be happy to fly you whenever and wherever.Done. Please fly us both to Rome (Fiumicino) in the night between the 26th and 27th, the earliest possible flight from NYC (JFK airport). We fly back home the night after, again as early as kindredly possible.
>>97233412>peasantry need to dumpster diveI know financially well-off mortals who do it anyways. No matter your walk of life, I guess free shit is free shit. When I was a mortal there was a guy I worked with who owned three rental properties but still went into the dumpsters behind the dollar store to fish out children's toys that he gave away to co-workers.
>>97234732We have Mercury Lamp's dolls on the case. The problem with such high caliber rounds is that there isn't much of a body left, I've seen trains being more gentle.Here's what I'm allowed to share for the time being: it was a group of five males. One had a large Schwarze Sonne tattooed on his pectoralis major. Another had glass fragments of what were once 2 or 3 vials in his pocket, one crudely labeled "FENT", again we can't test this as they were broken and contaminated by one another and blood. What's left of them reeks of alcohol.Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?Uncle The Devil Wears Me is walking back and forth the hallway, cane in both hands, ranting about some "zevel levan."Then again we deal with so many stupid people as of late, I can't even exclude the asshole thought the black sun was just a cool symbol, like your average American with a T-shirt with a Buddha, Om or Che Guevara on it.Can't they be just clueless biomass who had a case of fuck around and find out, just because this one night the house was quieter than usual?>>97234780YESSSSS>>97234802Yuck.
>>97234732You'll receive the surveillance footage as soon as this video editor stops ruining my unlife. For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.>>97234965I don't care if they're hobos, nazis, Sabbat, or God holding Satan's hand, if anybody comes looking for a war, I got plenty of war in me.
>>97234965>Yuck.I won't argue, but I will point out that sometimes one must get knee-deep in garbage or sewage to get a job done.
>>97234965>Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?She didn't embrace anybody from those, and ghouled few from those. Her underlings did everything listed. Overall, her organization didn't filter Kine material very rigorously; attached is a file from my records showing what sort of Kindred and ghouls we had to cut through to harm her operations. They acquired neo-nazis and bikers as brute force, drug dealers as a source of cash and drugged-out bodies, local militias as firepower and so on. We've made an effort to cull whoever didn't flee Bridgeport, but nature abhors a vacuum, so those five could easily be survivors out of their mind due to vitae withdrawal, or some sort of asset of hers or of one of her underlings doing somebody's bidding by this suicidal attack, or just out-of-towners who moved in on seemingly free turf, or something else. I will, regardless, inform my coterie to make sure they're available if this is the first attack of many.>>97235080Thank you, the footage will come in handy.> For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Unfortunately, that's not much of a tell; the Palatine was remarkably, if sporadically, careful about not leaving signs of her work and at least somewhat tried to avoid giving herself away, until she decided to bring out the fucking death unicorn and her other toys. Still good to know.>Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.Appreciated, thank you. I'll be forwarding everything to the Brujah I've had with me, provisionally still named Tats here, she'll be the one to contact if it'll prove necessary while I am busy with the flight. She's a professional at turning people to pulp and has a good, if angry and spiked, head on her shoulders, good pick to turn to.
>>97234780Thy will be done. I'll bring along two ghouls to manage the plane and otherwise handle affairs if we end up unable to arrive before sunrise, and a member of my coterie as backing just in case. Beyond that, the plane can accomodate an extra eight passengers counting you two, has a spacious recreational area, private sleeping accomodations, ample space for Kindred to retreat to if sun's a problem, multi-layered window coverings to minimize sunlight risk, and plenty cargo space. So, nearly whatever or whoever you'd potentially like to bring to Europe, or from Europe, can be brought. Time-wise, we'll be leaving as early as possible from New York, and no later than at 3:30AM from Rome, to account for the sun's movement and the flight length; the ghouls could fly us during the day, even, if you're fine with that and would prefer to get the most out of your night in Rome, but otherwise that's the most reasonable timetable. The expected flight time is from around five to seven hours, depending on how weather will be and how obnoxious we'll be able to get with some of the plane's particular aspects - it's a special thing. You'll see what I mean in person.
>>97235910In that case yes, the whole night in Rome, or the next good thing, please. I'll DM you the full list of passengers.
>>97234802>>97234965>>97235526I judge not what the peasantry do to get their kicks or survive. I will judge their insides though, and if they make for some good artwork for my manse. Some even double as a drinking fountain but they're too much work to maintain and my guests don't typically enjoy such meaty appliances. It's a modern day tragedy, that's what this is.
Hey guys i was looking at myself in the mirror last night and i think i saw a wolf-like shape behind my refelection. Do anyone knows what that
>>97236845Son of a bitch, there goes another one. And on Christmas, too. Shame.
A year ago I was still your goth girl next door flipping off every man, woman and child dressed as Santa on my way to the club. It's Christmas and I ain't merry. Boyfriend on high alert, women out there squeezing the simps' bank accounts dry, the mansion became this Tim Burton movie with dolls in dresses patrolling like toy soldiers.I finally got the date with the smoking fetishist.Boring black BMW. Prehistoric frock coat. Fuck his Cologne and whoever sells it, it'd get any woman to smoke herself to death. To quote my boyfriend, it got worse.Four fucking hours of smirking, scoffing, sneering, blowing smoke in this gen Xer kine's dumb face, dumping ash on him down every corner of NYC. Having the color of my hair and eyes, and my cold, pale skin praised, my black furs smelled... This shit is tame. Tame by ex-Sabbat blood doll standards. Tame by my standards. Uncreative.We got to his place where I had him lick ash off my shoe, made him thrust his cock into grey donut-shaped clouds, burned him with my cigs. Still tame, but better. Got my ashtray really turned on. In the end I masturbated while smoking on his bed and looking away from him as he jerked off on his knees.As soon as he came, the guy wanted to schedule another night right away, and unholy fucking shit how bad did I desire to pull an Assoluta, and reject him to raise the stakes, but he paid extras on top of extras I ain't even asked.Before I got out of his car I said: "If I told you this is my first time doing this, would you believe it?" Hook, line, sinker, extras. "Next time I make smokey bacon out of you." I flipped my "Santa."What did I buy Boy Toy with my first taste of success? I clapped my hands twice, staff delivered him a bouquet of black&red roses. My man laughed.He's been laughing for ten good minutes now. He rarely laughs. Is there a connection with Venus' sire having the opposite problem?I take it all back. It's Christmas and I am merry.I hope all of you are merry too
Update 9, all quiet for the moment>No major moves in the past dew days outside of the usual skirmishes, and safe/no-go zones haven't moved much, outside of the South Loup camp moving into town.>Said south camp had a Pow-Wow with their northern kin over the Present situation, letting them take the lead.

Everything is a mess.>Teddy has formally left, leaving me his blood fridge and what was left of his information. Not that he had much left. According to the note he left he's heading to Oregon.>Everyone else though is committed to dealing with the 'Sabbat' intrusion. >Plan is fairly simple, Mister Y is going to make the elevator complex known, and we're going to make sure we ambush the intruders with everyone who wants the Flesh dealt with and not diablerized or worse.>Which is an odd assortment of creatures we've acquired these past few weeks. >I've relayed what I've learned being a psuedo-Nos/Malk-Handler/general busybody and we have three camps for what to do, assuming we survive.>The Loup Clan of Big-Pipe-Club genuinely still believe they can put the flesh back to sleep to the point where it will sink back into the Earth.>Magilla Gorilla and his 'kin' want to take the 'heart' of the Flesh to 'transcend their constructed barriers.'

>>97239274Supposing I'm still here next week I think I might start travelling. Need to brush up on etiquette of others and gathering intel. Spent too long living as a hermit.Any recommendations for destinations? I don't think I have anything off the table except Milwaukee. Fuck Milwaukee.>>97234056Thank you for the insights, they've been invaluable. >>97234965>>97235880Seems many people are having an exciting holiday season. Wonderful.>>97238744Thank you for reminding me why I haunt farms and live in a dirt whole to survive comfortably. Merry Christmas Scarlet.
To get ready for my date I watched Sasha Grey's The Girlfriend Experience, since Assoluta of all people mentioned it, good movie but it's informative only if you live under a rock though.Princess Charming casually recommended Carol with Cate Blanchett while I helped her choose clothes for her one-night return to Italy.I gifted myself a double feature.I think Venus looks like Blanchett did in the 80s facemerged with a young Charlize Theron from that decade.Blanchett's Carol also moved a lot like mom, the dignified poses, the gestures, that straight back, as classy as she's fuckable.I miss mom and her theatrics already. We all do. The house just ain't the same without its Venus in Furs.>>97239284>Thank you for reminding me why I haunt farms and live in a dirt whole to survive comfortably. Merry Christmas Scarlet.Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the survivors of the apocalypse, seems you need more merriment than I.>>97234780>>97236188Here's what I think will happen in that trip: Princess Charming and Blue Fairy bring an assload of clothes, never wear any in all nine fucking hours, and buy the latest designer drip they can find in Rome, doubling the amount of bags staff has to carry.

>>97239373>Princess Charming and Blue Fairy bring an assload of clothes, never wear any in all nine fucking hours, and buy the latest designer drip they can find in Rome, doubling the amount of bags staff has to carry.HOW DOES SHE KNOW>>97239419That sculpture is not.
>>97239427>That sculpture is not.1. It's in Austria, but that's not the reason your girlfriend posted it.2. The god of thresholds, of doors, is blocking the path of the goddess of war. "This is not the time for war."3. She's about to hit him with her bloody flagellum, the one Virgil mentions in the Aeneid, to make him get out of her way.4. Do you see what Princess Charming did there?
You guys have probably seen those comments, tweets, blogs, emails, replies, etc, with bible verses or "THE LORD WILL TAKE THEE" or some other religious screeching on pretty much every website you've ever used.You probably thought that was some crazy old lady, or maybe an automated spambot, or at weirdest some kind of hunter or maybe even some malk. But it's not. Most of those actually come from me.You're probably imagining I'm nuts, maybe a noddist or some neurotic weirdo, but I'm not.I just really, really hate infernalists. And so I put those everywhere I can so they see it. I hate them so much that I want to ruin their nights, as often as I can, through any means available.Christ is king. Merry Christmas. Fuck you baali.
>>97239474>Do you see what Princess Charming did there?She thinks a war is coming and that's the reason she jumped at the opportunity for a little trip back to Italy. Time is money, as they say in Wall Street.
>>97239474Smart man. You could have made a superb Ventrue, or a Girl Toy.
>>97241639If and only if you and Blue Fairy both come back from Italy in one piece each, I'll share the single most embarrassing memory of my unlife.

Merry Christmas all. -Kakophoni
Now for a little recap of our trip to Rome and back. As Scarlet predicted, me and Princess Charming went shopping first thing in the evening. We had to rush from the airport in Fiumicino to piazza di Spagna and via dei Condotti to raid the boutiques before they would close early as scheduled on St. Stephen's Day. That felt like the longest hour of my unlife. Excruciating.We dressed closer to what we do in autumn than during mom's ideal winters. My girlfriend had a tiny pearl mink jacket over a pale brown cashemere top with a long, much darker leather skirt with matching boots, that bottom half drove me crazy. I wore a deep purple and white mulberry silk áo dài with a floreal theme I bought in Vietnam, a silver fox stole and silver high heels.Ordinarily we would have just rented a Huracán for the whole night, but this emergency called for a couple of Maseratis too. This is not our first race against the clock, Boy Toy and Princess Charming developed a strategy for such a situation: bring our most fashion-savy women and men among our staff, and deploy one in each boutique to scout ahead and take pictures.This time, we bought footwear, makeup, perfume, bags, glasses, jewels, all kinds of accessories and the mandatory post-Christmas gifts, but only a "modest" amount of clothing.Unfortunately for the staff members who had never set foot in Italy before, rather than a cultural trip down the Eternal City - hideously packed with visitors, but more so than your average night - this was more of a trip down memory lane.I remember when we first met, like it was yesterday:"Oh, a fellow Cainite? Good evening! Is this your domain? The security guard didn't seem to think I was... 'bounceable' enough."I was such a brat.This meant our other obligatory stop was Princess Charming's club, the heart of her domain, away from the tourist traps and where she gathers, in her own words, "the best of the nightlife", or the movida as they call it here like they do in Spain.
>>97248146Thank you my dear, I'll take it from here. So what does my humble abode do? Anything I want it to: restaurant, lounge bar, theater, art gallery, lesbian SM club, you name it.The staff could finally relax from their bag-carrying duties, then something happened."What a coincidence." She came."You didn't think of leaving House Venus for good, did you my loves?", she hissed.The Venus in Furs herself, at the height of her power with the Amur leopard coat and a groveling Prince on a leash for a date in Rome.This is far from the first time she shows up at our club uninvited, but I've never been so offended in my whole existence.Worst of all was how aroused I was by her smug, self-satisfied face. "Oh, pray tell me how bad you missed Mommy."What was once a private date became a triple domination session. It goes without saying we won't say anything about said Prince, like their city or clan, and for the record I'm even thankful to them, I only wish this hostile takover by my girlfriend's sire wasn't a part of it.Getting the love of my unlife to leave Italy is always a trauma. We cuddlefucked so much on our flight back.In the end we went for a faster return by having NoblesseObleedge fly us away from the sun, it's just after 10 AM in Rome but 4 AM on the US East Coast. The longer the night, the longer the party. Or so we thought, until we had our night ruined again.We had almost made it home in Blue Fairy's black McLaren, when we spotted four would-be trespassers, I shot two with the silenced MPX my girlfriend keeps inside the 750S, and she kicked the third in the crotch destroying his pelvic bone and organs.The surviving fourth imbecile, their leader, called us a variety of names: monsters, whores, sadists. Blue Fairy noticed the Eisernes Kreuz tattooed on his neck and said: "I'm worse. My uncle is Jewish." We had a good laugh.We're currently extracting all the information we can with Disciplines combined with more conventional methods.
When I come home I expect a battle plan to share with the competent authorities for a coordinated counter-offensive.>>97248173>she hissed.Ahahahaha!>The Venus in Furs herself, at the height of her power with the Amur leopard coat and a groveling Prince on a leash for a date in Rome.You can tell a Ventrue typed this, what a proficient adulator you are, sweetheart, I feel my authority radiate from the screen! Let the readers join me as I bask in my own glory!>Worst of all was how aroused I was by her smug, self-satisfied face.Aroused? Yes you are~ Yes you are~ My wittle baby loves her Mamma~>for the record I'm even thankful to themThankful indeed, as you must be.>I only wish this hostile takover by my girlfriend's sire wasn't a part of it.You can wipe her tears and your own with that king's ransom in euros the Prince gave us.I had quite the giggle reading your message, your writing never misses.
Sigh.

>Nice aether rate faggot!Magesisters how do I respond without looking salty?
1. Now that Princess Charming and Blue Fairy came back in one piece, I can honor my part of the deal: my most embarrassing memory.2. Believe it or not, our house wasn't always this affluent. This tale takes place in one such lean year when I was still a fledgling.3. Mother made me meet this Toreador lady: smart, attractive, cultured.4. She was completely out of my league, even so, we kept dating - I mean the way normal people use the word, not House Venus' meaning of 'date' - because I had something to give her.5. She was a Volgirre. The vicious bloodline that takes the name from Philippe Volgirre, sire of the infamous Justicar Madame Guil, and a bloodline that is even more infamous among those who know of their cruelty with and without their signature Discipline: Vicissitude.6. But it wasn't simple body horror that got her going, her "fascination" was with emotional humiliation and suffering.7. In short, she turned Boy Toy into a Girl Toy, then turned herself into Boy Toy, then violated this Girl Toy I became. Another satisfied customer.8. I was so completely destroyed Mother had her staff spoon feed me vitae for a month.9. Eventually Mother handed me to her Tzimisce Antitribu buddies in Brazil, they were enthusiastic to "help her daughter get a sex change." Yay another trauma.10. Here's a quote from Blue Fairy:"Baron Volgirre said: 'Art is the truth. Life is the lie.' Such superficial thinking! Disgusting, provincial, dualistic, in one word, Western! I want to unveil the truth hidden within the lie, and expose the lie concealed within the truth. I say: 'Yes' to nature and art, to life and unlife, to light and the shadows it casts. I will not choose between one or the other. I want everything. I am worthy of everything."11. Mother canonized that statement as the official position of House Venus on this subject.12. I would have finished my essay discussing the relationship between art and truth too if it wasn't for those meddling trespasser shitheads.
>>97248244>When I come home I expect a battle plan to share with the competent authorities for a coordinated counter-offensive.1. We're currently cross-referencing the data we're extracting from the interrogation with the information from the ongoing double drug trade investigation.2. Scarlet too is helping as she has an easier time appealing to and interacting with drug users than any of us - without having us resort to Disciplines, I mean.3. Besides your return, the other thing we're waiting for is for an official statement from the Prince on whether House Venus has, or does not have, a license to Diablerize enemy kindred encountered during the eventual Blood Hunt.

>>97249760>That's hilarious, I want one of those dolls!Mercury Lamp's robot dolls are the only items in the house that are more jealously guarded than the Amur leopard fur coat we just gave mom. Our doll who makes dolls constantly complains that they're "incomplete", "unfinished" and so on, exactly like your typical tortured artist or poète maudit from clan Toreador does when talking about their works.I think she might put the first one on auction in the next 3-5 years given how fast robots, let alone AI, are advancing, but for the time being, she only sells traditional dolls.>Women of culture I see.The first time I saw a SIG MPX was about five years ago in Hong Kong. A cop had one and I immediately took a picture and sent it to Boy Toy for identification. He loves it too, even though it's not the most powerful or expensive weapon in our arsenal, he says it's one of the most fun. It's the same with my McLaren 750S when compared to the rest of the garage.Speaking of our garage, Princess Charming confessed to me she wants to auction her Porsche 918 Spyder and get herself a Ferrari SF90 XX Spider. Knowing her, I bet she wants a grey one, like Grigio Titanio.I don't think it's a terribly wise investment but she insists the Porsche is 11 years old and this was never about the money.
>>97250239>I think she might put the first one on auction in the next 3-5 years given how fast robots, let alone AI, are advancing, but for the time being, she only sells traditional dolls.At least we kindred are naturals at what the kine call, "the waiting game".>A cop had one and I immediately took a picture and sent it to Boy Toy for identification.

My second greatest shame is that I have to admit she was right: I am more resilient after surviving this, and I understand the perspective of women, victims, prey. We're still exchanging letters to this day. Everything I do is out of love of Mother, becoming a better Boy Toy is the least I could do.Boy Toy is blood bond and even has the Loathsome Regnant flaw. You can't convince him to leave the House by posting on SchreckNet.Meanwhile Venus in Furs has the Unbondable merit, she can drink the vitae of her childer to her heart's content.
>>97250872some bahari shit you're in freakazoid. Though I hope you learnt how to remodel yourself from that volgirrl experience, that would be sick as hell
Lavender's still in torpor, because good God Garou are fucking awful. The vitae we're watering him with is doing great, though, it has restored nearly all of his skin, and that prolly means he'll be up and about soon. He's also stopped being a constant static electricity outlet, which's nice, I don't want my electronics fried. Fucker's got really strange, persistent lightning scars now. They refuse to heal, even given the vitae. I think I'll dye his hair white, tell him it got bleached by all that Garou electricity, see how long it'll take him to figure out I lied.>>97250239Okay, what the fuck are those dolls? How much will one cost?
>>97239284Did the ritual I mentioned, Babycakes, hope it's still timely!If you'll be telling the wolves about this, inform them that the Seer of the Lost Caern of the Lightning Wings granted you this information, and that I augur and divine with spirits on my side.

>>972511001. In case I wasn't clear, I may be a Degenerate with a capital D, and a masochist at that, but I did not enjoy any part of that. It wasn't the fun stuff like Scarlet calling me a pussy and ravishing me on the floor.2. Getting my cock back was nearly as awful as losing it.3. I was paraded at the Pride, a festival of joy, self-expression and liberation, while being miserably imprisoned in another person.4. The Tzimisce Antitribus from Brazil-zil-zil didn't ask for a penny on the ground that they believed me to be "great credit to the community." When they were finished, there were happier than I was.5. Eventually I developed the ability to play with my own flesh, but given the traumatizing context, I'd rather talk to a woman, touch grass and be myself. A better, tougher, rebuilt myself.There are some inaccuracies in Boy Toy's story, deliberately implanted in his mind. To begin with, the Volgirre woman in question was Assoluta and the family was not facing an economic crisis. Assoluta's mastery of fleshcraft is inherently tied to her synthetizer-like singing and 2D Disney movie character-like control over her facial expressions, she used repeated, increasingly subtle and fine-tuned applications of Vicissitude married with her encyclopedic knowledge of operatic singing and acting to get there.In those days he was blood bound to Assoluta, now to Venus in Furs. The most disturbing part is, were Boy Toy to find out Assoluta did this to him with Venus' blessing, he would still love them both - but this is far from the vilest secret kept by this family.He has 2 dots in Vicissitude.
>>97253074Dies Irae, the doll in the video Mommy praised me for, is a robot that walks and can move a forearm. She can't aim or pull the trigger on the flamethrower, I do. One of her eyes is a high resolution camera, but it was a security camera that caught her burn the baddies. Dies Irae needs constant real time supervision, direction and control.Blue Fairy says she reminds her of a racecar from GT3 with all the expenses and telemetry except under 2 feet long.I am NOT selling Dies Irae! She made Mommy proud! She's mine!
Speak of uninvited fucking visitors, somebody sent spying pigeons our way. City pigeons. The caern is, in fact, not in a city whatsoever.How lovely. Whoever's doing this will get boiled, once we find them.>>97253079>Page of Wands - Unenthusiasm; apathy; disinterest. This one's a reverse, btw. To interpret this reading, one has to construct a narrative and meaning out of a whole lot of quite vague signs. I did not risk making the cards tell me the narrative; I could do that, but risking it with some sort of giant Tzimisce-thing is just outside my current paygrade.So, I will offer one possible read, taking in account what the cards say:The beast, perhaps, is an outgrowth of THE Tzimisce, or a Methuselah which is that big and dreamful because it needed to become that. Seemingly for its loved ones. It knowingly undertook this transformation, perhaps abandonging their unlife to protect those who made said unlife worth unliving. Maybe it's a truly ancient member of the Sabbat, or its prototypes from prehistory, with their enemy just as powerful.But now it knows nothing and does nothing. It only will act if it is given purpose. It has none; it, perhaps, outright is simply a hollow thing, lacking in personality because growth to that scale, to that complexity rendered the person a speck in their own electrochemistry.Its allies, kin, friends are dreaming too; maybe they're in the soil, around the lake, maybe they're the dreaming Antedeluvians and other derelicts in torpor. It has no future to speak of, because it knows not what to do or why to do. Its wants are muddled, confusing, or what it wants for others is muddlement and confusion, lack of clarity; perhaps it's keeping something else confused, unable to wake? Its enemies will, possibly, destroy themselves by unveiling themselves, as they pull out all sorts of toys to kill a giant. And you yourself, babycakes, could benefit if you grant the beast that which nobody else does - kindness.
I snuck close to the door where they're interrogating the loser with the iron cross. I ain't ever heard uncle being so fucking pissed.He's like: "AT LEAST NOW YOU'LL HAVE A VALID REASON TO HATE ME!!!" This shit is hysterical.
The quality of the servants mirrors the quality of their master.
One is an incident, two is a pattern pretending to not be, and six, counting Venus-unrelated things Tats has handled in my absence and suspects to have been related to the Venus-related ones. I suppose the calm we've achieved with the Palatine gone had to stop at some point, but such utter filth being the cause is anticlimactic and unfortunate.>>97248929The Prince's word is that you, or anybody else interested in eating their fellow man, are to wait until at least one Kindred of those fucking around in our city is caught, brought before the court and interrogated, or until more information comes up otherwise. A determination on appropriateness of consumption would be made once either condition is met. If it helps, currently he's quite publicly leaning towards 'anybody who dares disrupt the peace in my backyard gets their soul devoured painfully and slowly'. Especially if it isn't even the Palatine but some third party thinking the city is weakened after having to evict her. He just has no desire to rush such a decree, as to not fall for the standard Bloodhunt-a-rival scheme somebody could be pulling.>>97254073Any guess at the identity of their master? Somewhere between piloting and managing ghouls with bags, I had a bit of time to go through relatively obscure options. For instance, Romeo's beloved sent some reports our way, old writeups about a hunter group operating in Maine and in Canada. Big numbers but pretty poor quality, vaguely-right wing and religious, unsuccessfully trying to hunt shifters, obsessing a little with trying to use supernatural tools derived from their quarry against said quarry. They didn't often try to hunt Kindred, and dwindled down in their notable activities, a few years ago; could be that this is them but rebranded, more successful, relatively, and more radicalized.
>>97255436And six... is a blatant provocation*. Pardon, I'm somewhat distracted by Tats and plentiful threats of excessive violence she's making, mostly aimed at me, and five other things that are somewhat on fire. >>97239284'Exciting' is a way to phrase it, but, frankly, I'll take this over having to deal with that monstrosity you unfortunately are near, and every unsupervised Discipline-aided public nuisance trying to do something dangerous with it. The Prince of Bridgeport thanks you for sharing reports on your situation; while that abomination is not quite something any of us can possibly deal with, were it to suddenly start moving towards Connecticut, being aware of it is comforting, in a way. There's got to be a finite number of giant under-lake beasts, and being able to account for one of them is nice.
>>97253079>>97253789It is... Curious.Multiple different stories from radically different sources echoing one another. Just enough matches. I cannot wholly trust any one of the dozen or so stories delivered but...Perhaps this is hell.Were it that I could go back to hiding in my hole a few weeks ago. Or gone with my gut instinct when all this kicked off and started walking Westward.It is out of my hands. All I can do is offer my council once- if- the last of the invading war party is dealt with. More the fool I am to walk the path of compassion. Ironic. Again though, my thanks blood.>>97255571The Catalogue of this little chronicle should prove useful to some. And hey. Suppose I lived up to that desire to be a very budget Nos. Like to think I look the part now with the Loup damage.Ride's over Mutie. Time to die.
Attention to everyone: Stay away from the Austin-Texas Area. A group of hunters have devised some sort of light-based weapon that has devastated a cohort of our Neonates and Ancillas and left nothing but ash in their wake.
>>97255436The bastard we interrogated was more knowledgeable about the history of the NSDAP than a typical US neo-nazi. He believes The Protocols is a forgery - even though he agrees with it - the US didn't enter WW2 just to fight anti-semitism, the nazis admired Henry Ford who published anti-semitic shit and so on.We immediately, correctly suspected he belonged to a more European flavor of organization.Here's what we have:A) "Bridgeport Citizens Volunteer Militia" (our nickname), typical US far right "rifle association" madmenB) European-style far right social center. This is not your friendly neighborhood community center, this is some two dozen neo-nazi squatters in an abandoned, illegally occupied warehouse. In exchange for sleeping in that shithole they do "activism", i.e. protests, violence, theft, racketeering...C) Your alley of drug dealers giving fentanyl zombies their fixIt's a triangular commerce, where:- the militia trains, radicalizes and recruits the "best" from the social center- the social center makes sure the money from the dealers arrives on time, they also bully citizens out of their money (THE ASSHOLES HOPED TO ROB OUR MANSION AND OTHERS ON XMAS)- the dealers extract money from fentanyl zombies (and we speculate, get hostile kindred some bodies)- the money goes to fund the militia's weapons and activitiesWe're sending you the locations of A), B), and C), they're very close to one another actually, what we don't know is where the bad kindred are hiding.Our modest proposals:1. Have kine law enforcement draw a nice perimeter so hopefully no ghoul escapes and the Masquerade stays intact2. We crack down on A), B) and C) at the same time, dressed as SWAT or equivalent operatives with a Masquerade-ish reason to wield military grade weapons3. In the absolute worst case scenario, no enemy kindred found, we just free the citizens of Bridgeport of a few headaches that kine cops are clearly not equipped to fight - nothing of value lost
>>97255436>>97260690The neo-nazi seemed to be legitimately clueless about the existence of kindred. They probably don't know they're being used by them. I can imagine food and drinks contaminated with vitae as a way to ghoul them.Militias are typically armed to the teeth and paranoid about being infiltrated, which is why we'd rather solve the issue the Brujah way than the Toreador way, this time.To count some heads, House Venus is a coterie of 6 quasi-ancillae, plus one quasi-Elder with her fledgling. They can add drones, "land-drones" (robot dolls), and military grade-ordnance for example anti-materiel rifles, fully-automatic shotguns, LMGs, explosives, etc. as force multipliers.
>>97260740If you need bodies or weapons, I will provide some if required. I have a total of 50 Cauldron-Born, 10 various kindred and multiple crates of weapons available. -Kakophoni there's no trick, Kakophoni is genuinely offering help, most of the weapons were taken from the Sabbat warparty that invaded his haven
Mommy's home! What an unforgettable, brilliant use of my time, having a willing Prince in my clutches while I tour Europe over Christmas week! A pity they had business to attend to on New Year's.>>97255436>>97260690>>97260740Ideally we could set the operation in the the night between the 2nd and 3rd day of January, where the kine are off the streets. A lovely way for Bridgeport to start the new year indeed.If we can count on the kine police's assistance, I would like the buildings within the perimeter of the "crime scene" to have their utilities (electricity, gas, telephone, internet, roads), anything and everything, suspended while nothing or no one enters or leaves the are, until our "investigation" is concluded.We would also like to commence our operation without issuing any warning, lest the enemy weapons be loaded and ready at hand.House Venus is waiting for the Prince's authorization to proceed as well as to know who is going to assist us from the local kindred enforcers and coteries. I bet there's a Brujah who can't wait to bash some skulls.>>97261365Provided said various kindred are introduced and obedient to the Prince properly, we could use their help, our cause is just.The cauldron-born sound a bit too unwieldy in this age where cameras are everywhere, and so are wi-fi and satellites that can count eggs on a table.Counting more heads, House Venus has 10 more Allies in total, 8 ghoul Retainers, and Boy Toy has 4 dots in Armory which is exactly what is needed to have House Venus +2 more people in full SWAT gear.
i havent checked this in a month, when the fuck did this become some kind of fucked up mommydom general?|
>>97266286There are two ongoing chronicles: the (dis)adventures of Venus in Furs' childer in Bridgeport and the flesh apocalypse in Marquette told by H0T_G4R0U3S_1N_Y0R_3R34. Both began sometime around mid-november
>>97266286 I just come in here to Tzimisce post every now and then, I've got no clue
>>97264149>The cauldron-born sound a bit too unwieldynot particularly but I understand your hesitation, Venus. Let me know if you need anything. -Kakophoni
>>97260690>We immediately, correctly suspected he belonged to a more European flavor of organization.He kept screaming about gypsies, didn't he?
>>97257527>Perhaps this is hell.Worse, Wisconsin.

>>97255436>>97264149>>97260690>>97260740Bingo! I surveyed the area and found the auras of seven kindred!
