My fleshcrafting work. It feels like the ultimate freedom to be or have whatever I can imagine.

What the fuck do you think? Sucking down a 2L of carbonated blood from a collection of uncouth junkies. That's as close to "Happy" as I'm getting.

Shit sucked long before the Embrace.

My memorabilia. From my original uniform to the gearshifter of my modle A, I have quite the collection of things thatvtie me to and reinforce my memories. Get statred early, young ones, the years are longer than you think.

But I'm not into dosh! I hate money, I loathe possessions. It's all just so crypto-fascist!

He's talking about memories, not money. without physical touchstones or people to remind you of things what's lost may be lost forever.

>>98044456
Hard to say. What even is happiness? Joy? That's just a good hunt but it doesn't stick. Contentedness? Most people don't think so, even if I'm mostly satisfied with my choices. I've been told in the past I have the restlessness of Odin.

Also Odin is... Maybe my great grand sire? Odd thing. One of the newcomers insists on it for some reason.

Maybe to soften the blow of joining on with the municipal project.

>>98044456
>Happy
Few things make me happy. I do take a certain amount of happiness roaming in nature. Whether on horseback, or running thru the dark Wilderness. Clan Weakness I guess. Even prowling alleyways and backstreets has its charms.

>>98044489
I could have helped EK, but I guess with youth comes folly. If you can think clearly back to your talk with the Assassin, pick out the dodges in her answers. It's when you ask something , and they either answer about something else or pivot and redirect the conversation entirely. Her conversation is full of them. Identifying those dodges and pivots is the basis of Kindred Verbal Combat and just as important to learn as actual combat. Literally imagine a huge alarm in your head going off

ts a valueable skill for the living, moreso for the dead. Think of how useful it could make you, but only if you do it every time.

My mythology may be weak but wasn't he an undead peepee licker. Couldn't make any seafoam of his own persay and was forever resigned to slurping it off the battledead? Strange story, no resemblence at all I'm sure.

In other news Sin after gleefully explaining that the phone has all kinds of apps for all kinds of shopping gleefully spent some thousand dollars of my own money, before trying to kill me.
>to her credit she did do better then the Boy Lust, using her Celerity to take my own knife from me first. Then, Poke poke poke. Just a needle doing its work. It actually took a chunk out of me, I was surprised. Still didn't help her. My fisticuffs are not exceptional but are more then equal to the task. The whole thing probably took a few minutes which I'm sure from her perception seemed like forever. I battered her (like cod as they say) and I didn't stop when she gave up. She'll heal come morning, the Boy Lust will drag in something for her to drink I'm sure.

But as she currently moans softly from what appears to be a broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, at least a couple of floating ribs, Some sort of strain across the hips and the very best of a spiral fracture of the Fibula that I've learned to give to cases that grind my gears. What do you do with incompetents and ingrates. I admit that we're in sort of a loop hole where Arlington is really too big to fall under Dallas or Fort Worth but doesn't have a declared and recognized Prince.

Sin and the Boy have managed to get by, being inconsequential up to this point but I guess someone has to teach them manners, or at least basic respect for the traditions and I seem to be the only one here. I guess I could brand her again.

But I have to go feed, Oh well. Maybe I'll learn something.

Our blood doll Wren has a problem with a stalker and, as ordered, I talked to Andrey about a solution. He's much smarter than he looks, and told me Zoryana can rewrite memories, we just need to let her help the stalker to forget about Wren. To think my first thought was beating some sense in the target and he had the more pacifist idea.

I briefed the princess of Castle Errand on our plan and she wanted to know how she's get inside the stalker's place. "Wren is the best bait imaginable, and this is the best plan for everyone, she, the Masquerade, and the man himself...", I said. She scoffed, Andrey was like: "We're not ditching the job, we'll be behind the corner for anything that could happen." She rolled her eyes. He said: "What's the matter, are your wise guys too wise?" Zoryana slow clapped.

Well I hope he can pass some of that wisdom to our future ghouls. And me. But before that he'll be teaching me some Sambo, the Soviet grappling art.

In the event Wren becomes uncooperative or even has a panic attack, the princess can help with that. No wonder Andrey wants to involve her.

>pick out the dodges in her answers
Mrs. Halal is a charming, intelligent woman, I immediately felt I was out of my league.

I reviewed the Q&A with Zoryana after posting it, her favorite is the one on Diablerie, going "from a systemic bad habit to half a millennium of alleged innocence and unfair treatment."

My Regnant is looking for a way to "improve my social combat before the Harpies tear me apart."

>>98043849
>of course they say that up front to avoid the old days. i uttered the sahada several times in my life when i was strong armed into fighting with the ashirra, only a few times less than being forced to take baptism when their enemies 'insisted' as a form of proof. no wonder the sabbat took off when they did...
Well the context is quite different today, besides, the conversation took place in the US. I mean there is still some fighting taking place, but still.

>>98047323
Wotan was everything, comes with being an god of transformations. 'Odin' was also apparently a Gangrel usurper of the traditional god Wotan and allegedly ran a death cult from northern Scandinavia. Until he suffered a defeat so grave it led to the Nordics getting christianized.

If I reduced everything down to the weird dick stories there'd be a dozen ancients who'd share that. Which is... Odd.

>>98047579
I will not speak on it unless I get new confirmation but Halal has a mixed relationship with the deed. We are not above our own inherited 'quirks.' Nor is Zoryana.

>>98047343
>I could have helped EK, but I guess with youth comes folly
You couldn't help pick someone's nose, fascist bootlicker. You're such a fuck up that a member of the psycho murder cult dismantled your entire effort with one sentence.

>What do you do with incompetents and ingrates.
You get them to be your toady, and then you give them a job in the Camarilla. You would know.

taking what i can get mostly
which right now turns out to be the big dumb crabs we got
some of the others have been trying to make other crab ghouls for the purposes of cock-fights. crab-fights. ye know what i mean.

>>98045675
got some questions if you dont mind
what year were you embraced and were you ever on the 'belle of benin?' since we lost bleu i been thinking about doing some digging to avoid moping. see i was embraced on that ship back in 1856 the night before we landed in hispaniola. left jacksonville as a dumb yank kid. landed in my new homeland with my wonderful new dental.

never figured out where he went beyond he never landed in dominica. must have taken the ship back. figure it might be good to finally put out lines before i get depressed and pass out for a few decades.

>>98048256
get better bait boyo.
an if youre that one ven muppet whose got nothing better to do in his executive suite than anarchlarp i'm repeating the last ten year ban you got.

Update when I'm back in that son of a bitch pulled a devious lick.

That's it? Less than an hour and Wren's nightmare is finished? What an impressive power.

Zoryana cuddled the poor Wren for a little, told her to text us if she has any other problems, and once Wren kissed her and got out of the car, my Regnant tested me: "Why did I want this issue taken care of so urgently?"
My tentative answers:
"You're still a friend of womankind."
"To protect our blood doll."
"To make our blood doll more loyal."
"To hide our haven from the prying eyes of a stalker."
"You were testing me."
"To save us from a possible Masquerade breach."
"To make sure one or more Kindred weren't involved."
She was pleased. Once she has a reasonably sized herd and the haven is ready, we'll think of how to interact with and fit in the broader Kindred society.

I'm kinda nervous about it, we are new to the city and have zero political clout.

>>98049773
Political clout is like
Like
Stuff we make up

You just explode one primogen and suddenly bro your made a templar. or like- paladin? sharrif? sherrif? think it was the last one.

Just pop somebody. :o3

>>98047865
Fair Enough. I wish I had a list of godly pretenders sometimes, you never know when you're going to hit a member of the family. Odin a Gangrel, imagine. I would have pegged Zeus Lykaois maybe but it's hard to track down a lot of this obscure mythology, even when you have unliving members of those cults. Perhaps even worst for having unliving members of those cults.

>>98048256
You'll be pleased to know that she ran. She's good at that. Her and the Boy, gonna tough it out bonnie and clyde style. Don't worry, I will take exceptional care of them, I have a Job for them in mind after all. Once they learn their place.

>>98049773
I'd make that introduction to the prince sooner then later. Every body you pick up now that you're in the city has a marker on it, even if you can't pick up the scent of it. You'll continue to have zero political clout until the prince recognizes you, poaching is only going against your favor. I know your ahh princess has plans to emerge from a position of strength, but in terms of what she knows of the camarilla, you are actually just as knowledgeable as she is, more so as you haven't been taught wrong on purpose.

>>98049923
This is a good way to get dead, While primogens are a mixed bag, they most assuredly take interest when you pop one, and at least a few in any city are formidable.
