I'm not sure Pentex is behind this, while the wolf looks similar to Mockeries, the vitae doesn't, I'm not even sure Pentex cares enough to make Mockery Kindred as wolves are the bigger problem for them. Hell, I've heard rumors that one of Pentex's board members is a Kindred. -Kakophoni

Scholar might cash that in, depending on how his "walk" goes

That's an apt question given last thread. Don't think it's appropriate though...

Mother sends this message:
"House Venus wishes to thank all who took part in the investigation of Boy Toy's condition, and will take part in the investigation of those responsible for his fate, and all who wish to aid us, comfort us, offer condolences to us, and to join us in grieving, praying and hoping for his soul, and even all those who simply had an interest in reading our messages, even if just for their own amusement."
This also counts as the answer to the thread question for us.
Boy Toy once posted a clumsily written, but well-meaning, declaration of love to me, I'm still not quite sure if I deserved that love, as I was far from fitting his description of an ideal elder sister, but it was a requited love.

On that first fateful night we were having all these discussions on how to best celebrate his eventual return.
Blue Fairy suggested he'd race 10 laps in the Subaru on the roads surrounding our mansion.
Scarlet wanted to involve him in a performance of a selection of songs from the first wave of black metal.
Uncle The Devil Wears Me wanted to showcase a preview of his Spring designs.
Princess Charming didn't have a grand vision, but she wanted to return him his copy of Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance by Edgar Wind, and to read his essay on art and truth - which he will never finish - and to have a little panel to discuss the topic with him and the audience.
We had all these big and small projects, Mercury Lamp was building a masculine, combat robot doll inspired by him.

Who amongst your house is currently the most stable emotionally? I'm aware all are grieving, if none are stable enough then I'll wait. -Kakophoni

I'm the best close quarters fighter in House Venus, and Boy Toy was the best with guns. We weren't enough. This enemy must be out of our league, I think the best we can do is train, survive, and throw money in the general direction of the bad guys until the right hands make the right heads fall.

Mercury Lamp by far. She read your posts with great interest. Man of Florida (who is just a guest) and her are discussing werewolves right now.
Uncle may appear stable but he's one irritating noise away from a frenzy, since he heard mom's wail.
I'm probably handling it better than I thought, courtesy of HalfSeeingEye's readings and advice. Thank you, HalfSeeingEye.

Teach me Potence, Kakophoni, I wanna learn how to crush skulls with my bare hands.

>>97379582
I'm listening.

You need to know something before you lose it. I was barely an adult when I got mauled.

>None of them ever respond very well to diplomacy, anyways.
We're mostly the embodiment of hostile forces anathema to them and only when we get into the primordial enemies that orphaned the native Loup does that get put into a box most can deal with. Acras and Lìon.
The Night Tribe presence though... They have a chip on their shoulder and I'd rarely call their relations with their native kin kindly. Few kind words, and the further north you get the more you get outright hostility. With all I've learned, something feels off about this entire situation. I'm in the neighbourhood, metaphorically speaking. Do you want assistance?

Soon as I drop my boy off anyways. We're in Nevada.

Once your house becomes stable, deal with your grief first to eliminate distractions. You don't need Potence to crush skulls. I'll bring some Cauldron-Born as test targets when we do meet.

Kakophoni sends a dm with the following message "I have a gift for House Venus. Let me know when I can drop it off."

Sure, go ahead! Your permission to be here for 4 hours maximum (to train Scarlet) was never revoked, you're allowed here. Me and Man of Florida will take additional measures to make sure you're safe.

Before you ask about my name I was unfortunately embraced while overweight

Been drinking alcoholics blood heavily missing the joy of a good dinner at a beautiful restaurant
At this point I'd take a crime ridden O-Tulleys
Blood isn't the fucking same I'm sick of lapping up red water like a fucking dog
For the love of Sett is there any way to experience solid food again

And you tell me "BUT BLOOD IS BETTER THAN ANY 5 STAR RESTAURANT"
You'd have be happy with 3 square meals of roach paste if it tasted good in life fucking cattle

Sire crys about what joys was taken from him but my morning of fine gastronomy is laughed at by all at Elesum
Meat will be back on tge menu even if many must meet death
Be it final or a first of many

>>97380345
And sorry if my response was late but I had to double check everyone was in their room, now is the time!

>make sure you're safe
I don't know if I should be flattered you care or offended you think I'm incapable of defending myself. I shall arrive shortly. I won't be staying as I'm needed elsewhere.

In House Venus shadows begin to flicker and shift as through a large shadow on the wall steps a tall figure, shadows wisping off of him, the figure looks at Mercury with piercing purple eyes, hands her/him a box with a little label that says 'To House Venus' he then vanishes as quickly as he came. With his leave the room feels lighter and the shadows quiet down. the box is to be opened with all of House Venus present. Inside is a note and a small vial of clear liquid. the note reads: "This is all I managed to acquired from Boy Toy before he passed, a vial containing his tears, they were all that survived the destabilization. -Kakophoni" [they are actually Boy Toy's tears]
