Oh how I loathe the so-called smartphones.
The first time one gave me some joy is when I avenged the glares I had from some youngsters who saw my fingertips poke at the touchscreen, and found me amusing. It was an enlightening experience for all parties involved.
On that night, I had the inspiration to add: "Tech-Illiterate Lady Needs Help with an App" to my hunting playbook. It's funnier when they think they can steal the phone.

>>98749405
>Are you a filthy mobile poster or do you have a proper rig?
I have a stack of old smartphones Left over from the early days of my "Inceptor" attempts. My sire had a laptop, he didn't like smartphones.
Admittedly, it's a headache removing ALL the trackng programs. Simpler to just drop the thing and run if things get dicey.
...
I'm in a hospitable, not the one mom works at, though, an ICU, the Korean man I am not giving a cutesy nickname becase he tried to KILL me, was taken there. I put him there.
I. Don't know what I'm suppose to do. I was ready to kill him in the motel. Then I saw things in the canal and couldn't bring myself to let him just bleed out.

>In a sense old H0T is already dead, so bent out of shape she isn't the Gangrel she was content in being, and she'll never speak again.
This is so sad and a real loss :(

>I'd recommend two things. A degree of separation with Ennoi just on ground E is probably the weirdest Antediluvian. But the metaphor 'Claw of Ennoia' would serve just fine to muddy the waters, let you tool with some of the siblings that exist.

Oh yeah, that's def the direction to go for, for sure. On top of the ambiguity of precisely what is this oddity, I want to go for a layer of that if it is actually Ennoia (or some Methuselah, maybe) she’s not a person, she’s an imposition upon your reality to a modest yet persistent level. She won’t whisper through her blood, have a lake turn out to be a giant eye that’d blink at you, or whatever. Her presence can be felt the way you can feel a small earthquake, and she’d have as much recognition of you as an earthquake would.

That would make possibly-Ennoia, funnily enough, a far more otherworldy, indifferent and comatose presence than the Thunderbird is in the Anchorite going-ons. If it is truly her, and neither William or Vickster would say as much, she’s a vast thing, dead-asleep beneath dozens and hundreds miles of earth and rock. What's going on at the surface is, at best, a 'vein' of hers that reaches out further than it should. None of it is her plan, none of it matters to her, or will affect her much. Any sort of attempt at communion with her would be at best like trying to glean meaning from whatever dreams she's seeing, or trying to elicit an instinctive response from her vitae, or to consume it for power and her wisdom. She won’t step in to help or hurt somebody, or to fight back against the miniscule parasites tasting her blood; she just is there, a mountain you’re squabbling with people on.

>>98751806
There are two ends of the Ennoia Spectrum.

One is an unnerving presence so grand and so alien its scale cannot be fully comprehended, much less appreciated. A force so grand and terrible that it infuses the natural world. The land has become swollen and gravid with purpose. The trees grow clawed thorns, and move without wind or reason. The wild creatures no longer fear the likes of man, and with the night comes new horrors. The bones of GAIA are no longer still, no longer fully dead, and within her hallowed out skull two eyes glow. She still sleeps, but for how long none can say...

The other is a weird looking cat sitting on Caine's desk as he plays Stardew Valley when he isn't driving a taxi.

>Not long is it, oh the world is changing and you're sitting in your coffin. On a Tuesday night. Loser.
Shush.

Question. Question. Relying on my junky old Laptop. She'll let me down some night, but not tonight. :)

>>98751806
Just because H0T was dead before, doesn't mean she wasn't able to type. Might even be easier than writing, or getting a Malkavian to look into her eyes and acting as interpreter like some kind of messy Sibyl of Apollo. But boy considering H0T's weird internal mythos surrounding Ennoia this is like to be very interesting.

I have a sick gaming rig but it's in storage (I haven't actually moved into my Transcona haven yet) so I'm on my smartphone right now.

Which is the worse way to go, crucifixion or impaling? Crucifixion still works on us right? I don't think I'd be able to live it down if I nail the fucker up and then he's just a decoration for the court. Well, as long as he's in pain it won't be that bad.

I am no longer homeless in Prince La Fou's New Carpathia, I have a house for me and the Revenants.
The Baltek's fledgling essentially invited himself, and being my guest means I have to protect him from all harm, and as he tried to approach my horse from behind. I had to crack my bullwhip between him and the animal. When asked for an explanation, he said he didn't know better and wanted to pet it.
How did he not know cattle kick to their side, and with less accuracy from behind, and horses kick to their rear?
I was under the impression this Kindred, not even in his twenties, was simply given the Embrace to help his bloodline navigate this world's contemporary technological society, and Lord Baltek had all but confirmed it.
I called the Elder, who wanted me to hand the phone over to the youngster, told him he's lucky he's enjoying the Tradition of Hospitality because I should have struck him instead, then gave him a reminder than when he doesn't learn he can still serve as an example, teaching 'others' what not to do.
In the end I taught him a better approach, and he did pet my horse.

If you're reading this message and you're a fledgling:
Dear New Blood,
I understand we're in the age of the internet, artificial intelligence, and electric cars, not the one of ravens and horses, but please know your animals, and not just for the sake of learning a Discipline.
Among Kindred you find lords and ladies of the beasts, and among beasts, potential allies and enemies. Don't underestimate them as either.
Please, know, study and respect animals whether wild or domesticated, yours or others', beyond what public education expects you to know about them and "the environment."
Even when we have full command of them, animals are not toys, and should energy prices keep rising, or any further crisis happen wherever you unlive, this knowledge may well prove invaluable to you.

When I videocalled my next broodmate, he laughed at tonight's anecdote and said I've "gone native."

Well, if I'm already there, what breed of dog should I get for my first haven in the New World?

Don't worry too much about hip dysplasia or other skeletal defects as I know the art of Bonecraft. Of course the dog still needs to be Masquerade-proof in New Carpathia, which means I'm not looking for something too experimental.

>Sir, may I ask who will be left with us in the Camarilla after such union?
Only those worthy of such a union. We will exit left the pretenders, the usurpers, the witches. It's just true that while some of these clans have had great history, it is just that. History. Over and done with. They have become corrupted with their own ploys, they are choking to death on the poison they have seeded amongst the cattle. The back biters are being bit back.
>House Tremere

Those who follow me, Be they Sabbat and Camarilla. Those who see a future for kine and Kindred, those who recognize their ancestrial obligations as your clan does. We are on the brink of so much possibility. I have no time for those who would squander it, those who equate taping a banana onto a wall with fine art or blending babies into batter makes a fine dye. I am simply sick of witches and clans who ape becoming human, saint or devil. I have no room for them. These hands will forge bonds that last. Those who follow the Traditions, those who rebuke the endless decay that comes when Kindred are not the Sheppard but parade around as sheep, those who can see past the width of their nose. All these shall be welcome here, Suzana. I am not a cruel ruler. I simply have standards.

There are many princes and others of similar rank in different factions here. Sabbat, autarkus. Shit I'm pretty much a prince now, I'm the new autarkus voivode of Transcona.

>>98763340
If I'm back at home by then I'll just walk around with my modified appearance on display without breaching the masquerade. Not shapeshifted into a pink-skin flat-eared kine-looking bleh form. I'm talking my blue-skinned, pointy-eared VAMPIRE FORM (pic related).

>>98764273
The greater my understand of this vision, the more I wish Your Highness would write some Addenda to the Traditions - like the Code of Milan had three - to help anybody on our side promote virtue and report vice.
I always wondered why neither of those two Constitutions forbid, or mention, infernalism - despite the efforts from both Sects in eradicating it.
Was it because fledglings could be tempted into pondering what the demons may have to offer? Just like you wouldn't want to tell children "Don't download films off the internet", because they wouldn't know it's possible until one goes out of one's way and tell them not to do it?
Is the reason the same as to why Destruction is forbidden by the Camarilla without ever mentioning the Amaranth in the text of the Traditions?
>Never fear, I am not far. Never far from you.
My Prince, I've been meaning to ask: since the kine will be expected to dress as fanged monsters and other creatures of folklore and cinema during Halloween, may we play along with this... I'd like to call it a "temporary embarrassment of the Masquerade" but it's too strong a word... just for one night?
I remember the history books saying there was one day where the feudal lords would wash the peasants' feet and act like their servants, just for one day. Perhaps there are some surviving Elders from the Dark Ages with some fun anecdotes to share.
I thought we could do something to make the kine happy.

>>98763448

Also, good job on the ritual, I'm getting vague vibes that it did actually disrupt their operations somewhat. They're really struggling with the spiders mainly, though, there's apparently at least one that keeps showing up out of nowhere and it's the size of a semi truck. How the Masquerade is holding up is a fucking mystery, surely their encirclement made of Officer Chubster and Ranger Sheepshag would've seen enough by now to leak stuff.

People gaslight themselves into not believing there's a Spider that size, because it's a violation of the square cube law and some other bullshit.
Really, humans have a very specific picture of reality and will gleefully disregard anything that goes outside of it.
I went from the guy who people asked if I had a place to stay at night into an urban legend that watched people dress up as for halloween. And get shouted at by my former school mates because they knew my girls.

>>98768105
>Really, humans have a very specific picture of reality and will gleefully disregard anything that goes outside of it
They can't afford to, gotta stay on that grind. We... have the Ventrue to thank for this I suppose. I would never wish such a fate on anyone, even kine, but it is all in the name of survival, yes?

The Baltek's fledgling came back knocking and screaming. What sent him in a panic was feeling the aura of a "person", which was completely black and foul and that he detected somewhere in the North-East side in El Paso. I already called the Balteks and sent a DM to Prince La Fou with all the information I had. He couldn't give me a physical description beyond "around 175 cm tall, probably male." Apparently he wasn't followed.

I never sensed anything like it since I came to the New World. Whatever it was, if that thing comes close to my property, it's getting the Second Amendment treatment.

>>98764756
I would think something along that line. There are many things that I think the Sabbat has improved over the Camarilla and having a more direct control over the concepts of things like Traditions is one of them.

>A Very Kindred Halloween
By all means, as long as the Masquerade as a whole is preserved (even if somewhat thinly on the grounds of plausible deniability), I have no issue. I know some of the Local Sabbat Packs have sought yet more feteing and celebrations. I am going to approve it for a single night, with the understanding that the following All Saint's Day's night will be their last if they overly vex the good people of my domain.

I'll send some 'reputable donations to the cities nightlife' and City Council Permits to you. I would quite happy if you would make Halloween a social event for both us Kindred and our Kine citizens.

I'll be the first to admit I abhore withcraft but mexico and this region in particular seems awash in it. We still get occassional reports of bandersnatches or whatever you call those hand centipedes.

It's a Two Night Hol-you know what, never mind. The Camarilla has stationed me in a small town on a border, or more accurately pair of towns straddling the border. The Prince there has been making a name for himself clearing out the Sabbat and claiming it for the Camarilla.
However recently he's been acting differently and I'm growing concerned. Unfortunately between our clans' animosities and my own difficulties with the Camarilla's social mores, I'm unsure as to how to broach the subject.
It vexes me that Bandersnatch is a genuinely better name for a freaky shadow hand centipede than Blatherskite, that should be a disembodied mouth or something.[/spoiler]

>>98770424 #
If it IS a Lasombra, it's taking on our Clan's version of a War Form, albeit of a likely pedestrian shape to a respectable fiend. Which would account for the childe's fear but to be blunt, it'd also be a much older, lower generation Keeper than Chavez; and one that's spoiling for a fight.

>>98770424
Fomor were not what I expected, the match up seems like it would go really strongly one way or the other, but I'm not sure which way. The Fomori powers seem widely varied. I'm sending a dozen, gangrels of 12th generation who are comfortable in their vampiric conditions, level headed (within reason) and work well together. They will likely have regular handguns, and maybe a couple of shotguns (12 gauge regular nothing fancy), and a bit of pyro (probably not much more then probably some homemade styrofoam 'napalm' or maybe some homemade thermite with a magnesium starter). They are likely driving three shit beater cards. You tell me who wins, I sorta think the vamps take it (but maybe pick up the bane to add to my long long list of pains in the ass). But this is not what they were prepped for (anti lasombra is sort of what was expected)

>>98771968
Are you asking for a letter of introduction or just my opinion on the man. I have a guess as to who you mean but why don't you tell me the towns or the prince?

>>98771021
Conflicting narratives.
Which one do you mean anyways?

The creature with the dark aura was slain. His Highness' Gangrel came over for some questioning and shared the news.

The chased it to a parking lot, drove it over, got off the cars, surrounded it and opened fire. It's as if bullets were like punches to it. Unimpressed with the results, they burned it with some manner of explosive device.

They describe a 5'8'' male human...oid with large tumors, inhuman screeching and acidic blood, I investigated the hood of the car that hit it (it's hood, not bonnet in American English, am I correct?) and it definitely needs a new one, the residual psychic impressions around the holes left by the acid feel hideous and very uncomfortable, but at least the engine underneath is still working, this car is tougher than it looks.

I am entertaining the notion that the Balteks' fledgling will continue to hide under my skirts, but we've all been fledglings, and in hindsight we can agree retreating before an unknown entity was the correct course of action.

Once again, congratulations to Prince La Fou and His Highness' Clanmates for a job well done.

Your opinion, I suppose. I fear his behavior may be more than just Ventrue tendencies, that he's being manipulated by subtle disciplines, like a Setite's temptation, or a Malkavian's Dementation.
Such influence on a domain's ruler is inappropriate, but in either case those influences are based on his wants, desires, biases. I'm at a loss as to how to inform him of this influence and getting him to listen. When things sich as this came up in the Sabbat it was a simple matter of challenging the offending party to monomacy lr indeed the Bishop, but that's not an option here.

They call this a nightlife? Must we teach these wretched kine of El Paso how to have fun, how to dress, everything? I'll be looking into themed clubs. At least they'll be wearing masks and costumes for Halloween. To their credit, they're friendly.
>>98775104
Platelet gel, combining platelet-rich plasma with activators like thrombin and calcium chloride, is meant to heal wounds.
I'm not sure what they mean with the other, Thrombite is the name of a device used in the treatment of stroke by removing the thrombus in the affected artery.
(Physical) Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy starts as a greater risk of bleeding first, then it changes into a greater risk of thrombosis.
>>98777577
First, I'm no Anarch, finding Anarch historians or Elders in general, and here in particular, should prove a difficult task, in my opinion.

Going by your date, the closest pamphlet I remember was Benedictine monk Augustin Calmet's "Dissertations sur les apparitions des esprits, et sur les vampires" in 1746, humanity was at the peak of 18th Century vampiromania, when vampires were haunting the nightmares of church and lay people more than witches themselves.

Fortunately, our Enlightenment heroes Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau came to the rescue.

Voltaire, ever the smug snake, reminded the Church she shouldn't attribute theological gravitas to peasant superstition, and that the real vampires, corrupt clergymen, stock-jobbers and tax collectors who steal the blood of the people, walk in broad daylight.
Rousseau presented this paradox: acknowledging the existence of vampires was among the best well-attested facts in human history, but then he famously asked: "And yet, with all this, who believes in vampires? And shall we be all damned for not believing?"

And Kindred wonder why I, a Koldun, would love the Enlightenment? Hahaha!

It might just be japanese and english mixing to make a silly sounding word, thoronbaito.
But I've never heard anyone make it sound like that and I was raised by a nurse. And if it has the same effect as wounds being licked..
Chts, I'm going to do some snooping; even if it's nothing it's better than biting my knuckles waiting.

>>98777791
The one I was looking for is said to be of London origin, specifically in 1743. But cheers, I will look into the one you mentioned, and thank you. As for anarch scholars, yes the paradox is not lost on me. Still, surely they are not totally without, yes?

>>98779659
Does the Count of Saint Germain ring a bell? He was arrested and released in London in 1745 if I'm not mistaken. Nothing I read said he couldn't have been there a couple of years before.
Kine biographers say he once claimed to be 500 years old, the son of the prince (lower case) of Transylvania, and a vampire. An eccentric composer, alchemist and occultist who used a myriad of names and claimed a myriad of titles.
To this night, none of my sources have ever agreed on his origins, fate or nature, some say he did eventually become a Kindred, other said he always was one of Seth's children, and in the latter case, they disagree whether he was a regular kine, a sorcerer like my Revenants are, or a practicioner of True, High, capital M Magick.
Needless to say, a person so enigmatic and mysterious may have evaded much of the questions the historians had, and still have, but not even he could escape Voltaire's satire.

It may be beyond mere experimentation if they're releasing them in a hospital, even one owned by Autumn Health. It may be someone learned how to synthesize our saliva without realizing. Though given the name of the product has the word Bite at the end, I doubt that. And the second O looks like somebody bit a piece out of it. It'd be amusing if it wasn't a reminder my mom is dancing in these people's palms.

Young one, this is profoundly disquieting for multiple reasons.

First, we're most certainly dealing with an imminent, impending Masquerade breach, if not a current, ongoing one.
Second, one shouldn't put Kindred, ghouls or thinbloods in a laboratory to make products presumably meant for kine or anyone else.
Third, Kindred don't really have bodily fluids such as saliva, what we do have are the thinnest layers of vitae. Conceivably, thinbloods may very well have actual saliva like kine have, if the stories I read about pregnancy are true, that should definitely be a possibility.
Fourth, giving products harvested from Kindred sounds a lot like a ghoul factory in the making, whether whoever is doing this knows this or not.

I have no contacts in Asia, but I would like to formally request anybody here on SCHRECK.NET to

URGENTLY DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO SEND SOME MANNER OF HELP TO THIS FLEDGLING IN OSAKA, LEST OUR ENTIRE SPECIES BECOMES A TARGET OF THE KINE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, THEIR NATURAL SCIENCES AND THEIR MEDICAL CLASS

Waitwaitwaitwait! Wait. The matter is serious but a sudden influx of foreign kinjin showing up in Osaka which is already covered in foreign gaki will make matters even more serious. The City Fathers and Green Court are on edge and they may take any strangers appearance as some kind of play by the other side.
Even if they weren't, I can't trust the Camarilla to have the interests of me or mine at heart. Or the Sabbat. Both sides just have history in Asia where thinbloods are concerned.
As for the pharmaceutical complex.. I have a sneaking suspicion that whoever's behind this isn't kine or at least not just kine. Just a suspicion though. I'm going to do more snooping. Just as well I'm still in Obfuscate.

Almost every question that can be reworded to 'surely the Anarchs as a movement aren't so dumb, short-sighted or otherwise lacking as to do X' can then be answered with 'yes, they are'.
Anarchs don't have scholars, there's scholars who don't know better and fall out with the Camarilla or the Sabbat, regionally or overall, if they're really impressively annoying. And there's scholars who study Anarchs, somehow, for no clear reason.

See, the sentiment is good, but we'd then be buried under the remaining 99,800,000! We're kind of lucky the spiders dislike the Tits more than us, and the Tits are around in general to draw them away. Not sure what we'd be doing if not for the Tits. Run into the otherworld? Hope there's no spiders there? Any sort of thorough spider removal solution would, inherently, also ruin the caern, probably...

Gun's got the 'I am but an Instrument doing what it Must' thing going on, once that's over I'll lavish the concrete fuck with praise and rigghtful adoration, but until then you get to take most of it. Suffer.

Speaking of suffering, I bring word from the old hairy fart conclave because none of them want to talk to you directly, given the lack of sufficient spiritual blessing. They concur with that the situation's kinda problematic, but don't yet divulge anything regarding raven shifters, spiders, or the Tits. They don't feel comfortable intervining directly, given how much blood the people they represent spilled over the last couple decades, fighting a lost war for the caern, but they're encouraging you to take Bee and Cory as your underlings. Not sure Cory's aware you're Kindred, by the way, break it to him nicely.

They're also saying something large and ozone-tasting coalesces in the otherworld, but they don't see it when they go there. All the spirits they ask 'sing of avarice, desperation and grandeur'. Oh and one old hairy fart said you should grow your beard out more.

>You HAVE to do something!
I am. And I will. But I will not involve any elders until I know exactly who is responsible. To do otherwise would get a lot of people I care about kindred and kine, killed. Not to mention I myself if I go to the wrong party.
All that said. I have finished dumpster diving in the parking lot! They hardly secure their medical waste here, disgraceful, unsafe; but convenient. Reading on the label, it claims to be a proprietary additive (Magabaito? MagaBite?) to be mixed with a sample of a given victim's platlets, in addition to thrombin and calcium. However, watching it in action, it doesn't just seal up wounds via clotting. It melds the flesh back together, on contact. From the point of view of any surgical practictioner, it must look like a medical miracle. Just spread it on the coronary incision you just stitched up and watch a broken heart heal as if it was never cut at all. It also comes with a painkilling element. The reaction of those who are admnistered would look extremely familiar to anyone on schrecknet. And a few million vampires aside, no doubt.
None of this serves to do anything but frighten Ms. Suzana, so let's see who's taking credit for this little miracle in a bottle.
Giorno Campesi, where have I heard that name befor-Ah. Campesi. So, they've moved out of Gerontology and into Hematology. I see. I see.
Ms. Suzana, I'll have this matter handled quickly and minimal incident. First, I'm going to get into contact with a friend of a late friend. He should be passingly familiar with this Mr. Campesi..

I've been told not to read into the madness of Malkavians but it always makes sense to me:
>AND I WENT INTO THE LANDS OF THE HATTAI, WHERE I FOUND THE FATHER OF DEATH AND THE FATHER OF LIFE QUARRELING OVER ALL THINGS, AND THERE THE GREY SPECKLED ONE AND THE THREE EYED ONE DID FIGHT.
Cappadocian and Salubri antediluvians? Hattai is a region in Turkey according to the internet.
>I WATCHED, AND YAY, I MARVELED UPON THEM AND THEIR WORKS, WHERE EACH HAD MADE GREAT WONDERS, AND INTO THE LANDS OF HATTAI CAME THE ELDEST, WOMAN'S SIDE OF GOD, BITER OF THIGH AND BLINDER OF ANGELS.
"The Eldest" the eldest? Or the eldest of the antes? Who was embraced first? I know it probably wasn't "the Eldest".
>AND YAY SHE RENT WIDE HER ENTRAILS TO PLUCK AN ACORN FROM HER RIB, AND PLANTED IT, AND AS SIBLINGS AND NIECES AND NEPHEWS WATCHED, A TREE GREW.
Vicissitude or protean? Maybe really is The Eldest?
>AND THE BITCH CUT THE TREE AT THE ROOT. BUT THEN, AS THE FATHERS WEPT, THEN CAME NEW ACORNS, AND NEW TREES. ALL MADE TO THANK OUR MADDEST KIN, BUT SHE HAD GROWN BORED, AND WAS ALREADY GONE.

>AND I LAUGHED AND DANCED AND LEFT THE LAND OF HATTAI TO FOLLOW HER TRAIL.
The moving forest we're chasing? Is the forest an antediluvian? We should turn back now. Lay low in Winnipeg. I don't think we'll find answers here. Only death.

Jus FYI I'm intentionally drawing the wrong conclusions here so as to not metagame. Fear would have no idea who Ennoia is and actually incorrectly figures the Gangrel ante is a dude, and that "the bitch" might be [Tzimisce] shapeshifted into female form.

>>98787463
Dragon. Seeker of Blood. My Brother in Caine. If it is an Antediluvian and it's going to wake up, what makes you think you, or any of us; will be safe anywhere in the world?

Nothing. You can fix her.

While keeping one eye on me and the other in Julian the prince answered his phone. Just a flat wat? from him. Then, What do you mean his haven is on fire? Pause. When did it start? Pause. Well find the fuck out. Even the swear was not shouted. Right. This guy was an Icy Rage type. Then he turned to Jullian. You wanna explain what Snape was doing running away from.the sheriffs have soaked in gas a few minutes after it caught fire?

How the Hell would I know? Ask Snape! Uhh. Your highness.

The Prince seemed to take exception to Julian's tone. Before I could fully register the movement, tge SAA was drawn,cocked and in Jules' face, danger end first. I'm asking you.

My Prince! There are werewolves all around us! A self confessed Sabbat Infiltrator RIGHT THERE! (Hey! I mean, I WAS, but I hadn't quite confessed to it. But tge Princes next words convinced me it wasn't quite time to call it blown yet) And there are just enough unanswered questions about what the Hell YOU'VE really been up to these last few months. FRANK! Take these two down to the hole.

I felt my beast stir. It did not like this one bit and ot clearly wanted me to fight my way free.

Wherever the Moon is, odds are its tickled silly with these prophecies his distant spawn spews.
I'll throw my two cents into the bank here.

>(1) Hattai isn't simply some part of Turkey, it represents the last real kindred-kine civilization and encompassed much of Anatolia. Actual modern Noddist scholars consider it the location of several 'Third' Cities that we can actually trace, including Ilium, Hatusha, and Pa-laa-a that we can say for certain had Kindred priests and leaders. Before the separation of our societies became terminal.
>(2) There are several alternative readings into this text, though we can most likely confirm the 'Perspective' is Malkav or an ancient childer of his who thinks they're being funny.

I'd also add it could be multiple entities or a single one for those who 'into the lands of Hattai came.' Perhaps Eldest and Ennoi came together, with a sibling that has been lost to us. Or siblings, if 'Biter of Thigh' and 'Blinder of Angels' are distinct.

Sibling's warrior ethos is- Disconcerting. Useful, but disconcerting.

And if I, with my vast resources and HUGE BRAIN cannot fully understand this situation then it is fucked beyond belief. Bee and Cory will be of much use, though, ultimately my understanding of their arts is- limited. H0T was the one able to understand totem minutia. I can only hope the Ductus will be able to return and communicate to deal with the raven-things and spiders. PAINFUL as it is to admit, I do recognize her Koldunist arts as superior in evocative ritual, and Lupine Vitae responds better to it.

What a nightmare.

I'll say this. Looking through these is oft a fool's errand, but there is a certain... Texture to it.

I will concur with the other poster that Eldest may be spoken of, but present or not, they are not the focus. 'Woman's side of God' is a direct translation of the modern cognomen of the Gangrel Antideluvian. It would fit from what I have been told by the Ductus, her tendency to act like a stray cat in verbal lore. Doing something wholly idiotic of original and fucking off, as the other ancients make loud ooos and aaas and fight over it.

The acorn, however, is the part that has been missed. It might well reference the alien bloodline that, perhaps, is not as alien as we might like to believe. Especially if allegations of prior destruction in the middle ages are to be corroborated.

Most of the Curses on us weren't laid upon Caine by God. Rotschreck, The Sun, even Drinking Blood were all laid upon us by his Angels.
The mark laid down on him by the Capital G himself was threefold. That all would know him as a killer by sight, that he would wander until he repented his fratricide and, that no plant would grow for him, he could no longer farm.
This means, incidentally; that if we are talking about a vampire. We're talking about one that's making a go at defying God.

Oh I suck at reading, so the alien bloodline was killed off in the middle ages? I'm so confused. I thought we were the most alien of all kindred. What the fuck could be more alien than a Tzimisce?

Now onto more productive matters. I will admit much of my knowledge is... Very inherited.
G4R0U3S had enough saved files and coherent data the Camarilla would have exploded her on a news broadcast as a warning. If they'd ever actually caught her. Parsing through it has been difficult. Frustrating. Supremely enlightening however. Vicissitude and Protean are cousins, and while descriptions of the arcane powers of the Gangrel interconnected with the natural order, what I have heard dwells beneath your feet eres more towards the Eldest. In my Journeyman opinion, anyways.

>Alien bloodline? Do you mean the Tzimisce or something else?
I mean that- fucking thing in Winnipeg! The hag! You yourself explored its tunnels! It matches the descriptions of the Lhiannan, an allegedly annihilated bloodline of matriarchal druids who terrorized the old Forests of Western Europe, and held mastery over the wilds. Particularly in the British isles. None agree where the bloodline originated from, and you yourself have seen the unnatural power it has over forests! Hence why I call it alien!

And, if that is the case, then that means my Ductus has... Become such a creature.

Which is a real pain because this SCIPHER NONSENSE IS REALLY KILLING MY STUDY VIBE.

Hnnnnng.

We are indeed talking about a vampire.
Now let me clarify something
So
I don't have another 'WYRM' episode.

I would like to avoid getting to much into the weeds of 'metaphor' or 'allegory' or 'occult religious practices' or other dirty words. But here is a real genuine question.
> How does one annihilate God?
Image very fucking related.

There is a strong Gangrel folklore chain that indicates 'Total fucking conceptual ignorance' is a very functional answer. H0T_G4R0U3S description of a particular... Self-Removal is telling. Devoid of ego, the thin lines between Vicissitude and the Protean blur completely, and the land thrives on that slumbering power. There is no such thing as a 'Killer' in rock and stone. There is no need for repentance in the state of bestial freedom. And plants are liberated to grow as they please.

God I'm watching a Gundum or something when morning comes I can't take this nonsense this concentrated this long.

I guess. I play a lot of fantasy RPGs so a vampiric druid that can control trees isn't really a hard sell for me. Shit even the stuff my clanmates do is kind of "well okay you do you senpai" but I recognize it would be alien to a normie to make books from your own skin, or remove your eyes for the elegance of a smooth porcelain bone countenance. I guess everyone else was freaking out like we were dealing with an H.P. Lovecraft monster and I was all "hee-hoo dungeon crawl!"

I thought throwing our dicks was our schtick. Sasha Vykos tossed theirs at some old stuffy Ventrue back when the Sabbat was formed. Absolute legend.

Something about a stripper in the Sabbat?
Anyone got any ideas what that means?

>>98792455
God I'd kill to turn back a few years and have a fresher perspective. I've been reduced to a historian rumour jockey. The thing about Tzimisces is we have a degree of 'know' about your clan, even if Metamorpho pushes boundaries we can point at Carpathia and go 'Look at that guy shoving sticks through Turks!'

Thank you for your continued cooperation. We will do our best to keep out for renegades, antitribu backstabbers will be dealt with. I am still interested in the names of the Nosferatu hitmen. Still, I understand that you can only provide what you have. I would like to send a gift if I may? Surely some extra fine pieces from the lasombra collection would be intererest? I will admit that they may have compromised providence due to the law not recognizing the right to loot your enemies. I don't plan on sitting on them for the decades required to obscure the heritage. You can do what you want with them, I'm sure that someone with some connections could find a collector interested in them, even with the questionable provenance.

In other news, I come again to ask my Koldunic Allies for assistance. Perhaps even the Sorcerer could earn my approval with this one.

>I'm getting reports of zombies.
I know, I know. This place is cursed earth I fear. I don't think this is the work of a Necromancer? They are strange, aggressive, sharp fangs. I had thought originally these were some variation of ghouls but they appear to be completely dead? I'm not sure what sort of witchy corruption is causing this. So far it's been relatively mild, perhaps two dozen civilian deaths but I can't find the infection vector. I can't easily tell if there are say legions of zombies waiting to be unleashed on El'Paso during halloween.

>>98788534
Suzana, any assistance from you or the Baltec's would be much appreciated. I hate to say that my plans with the Tzimisce may have to be accelerated. While no doubt Elder Baltek would be willing to assist with any of my requests of him, I do not have enough knowledge of Kuldunic Practices to know what to ask for. Right now, I need someone who can find these zombies that we may eradicate them or perhaps identify the source of the plague. I am so sorry to ask but any assistance would be associated. I would consider it a favour.

>who are you working under and why do you want her?
Some weirdo, kak or something. Not sure why but he asked me to check up on this hellsite to see what happened while he has been busy and since I got some time before I head out to my next contract I figured I would get him to stop buggin me and enter this place to look around. Honestly you don't even have to tell me the truth, just gimme something so he will back off a bit.

Zombies, plague, you say? When reading Mr. Rump's message, my first thought went to monstrous war ghouls transformed with Vicissitude, rather than zombies.

Your typical zombies are corpses animated by a necromancer, once the necromancer meets Final Death, the zombies stop being made - stopping them from moving is a separate matter entirely, however - anyway, they don't "reproduce" by "infecting" others, though I may have read stories about the rising dead who did spread like the plague somewhere in the Orient.
>I hate to say that my plans with the Tzimisce may have to be accelerated.
My older broodbrother Cezar is willing and eager to assist, with the caveat that he... well, how should I put it... he currently looks like a dinosaur, a Styracosaurus to be precise, and needs to be transported from Romania. He stands 6 ft tall at the hip and is about 17 ft long, and weighs just under 30 tons. He... likes paleontology a lot, and Vicissitude.

Surely, if Your Highness can move mountains you should be able to move a large reptile who can fit in a standard 1TEU cargo container (8'6'' x 8' x 20'). Yes, we all are fully aware of the implications for the Masquerade, and it's precisely what draws me to fight a fleshbeast with a fleshbeast of our own. I'm positive he could become a popular attraction with the kine children for Halloween. If Your Highness so wishes, we'd have "a very realistic animatronic."

We'll help the Balteks and the Nosferatu with this investigation to the best of our ability.
Here's Suzana's character sheet in the meantime.

right, so good is the raid botched real bad. they were defo foreign, one of their squads straight up fell for a cursory trap local sabbat know about. professional, but this burrow has been holding since the spanish abandoned parts of the island.

I've legitimately had some nossies mistake me for one of them and a few even recoiled at the sight of me. The keelhauling plus the other wounds I have gained over the years really make me look like a tzimisce took all the drugs and went nuts with fleshworking.

This can be put to the test. Our distinctive Discipline, Vicissitude, cannot undo the consequences of the supernatural curse of Clan Nosferatu, but it could give you a new face if aren't one.
Speaking of Disciplines, Nosferatu are typically able to control animals like we do, and they are strong, and stealthy. Do you think you were blessed, or cursed, with different gifts of Caine? Superpowers, as the kids say?

>>98795899

No. But hope springs eternal. It's at least reassuring that this weird Plant based discipline is based around severe loophole abuse and not just sufficient Raw Power.

Never really dabbled in disciplines, nothing really changed much when I got embraced cept that I do not need an oxygen tank anymore and I can withstand intense pressures, temperatures and I cannot get the bends anymore so that is a plus. Some have remarked that people seem to forget that I am there sometimes when I take a nap but I always chalked that up to them not being observant or just in a rush. Got any idea about other powers that I might have? Nobody has really told me much about being a kindred so I am clueless about powers.

is it normal to not be scared or have any reaction to fire beyond the usual concern one gets from a long time in the trades? Some of the others who were basically teaching me about this life always jumped when I'd light an acetylene torch to cut something or even just from sparks hitting them. They called me weird for not immediately flipping my shit and panicking so I assume that's common to vamp FNGs?

Fair enough, I did not intend that to be a gotcha, I had presumed you had the network (or the patience) to launder them.

>>98794335
I had suspected ghouls originally but the zombies do not appear to posses vitae or have been human. They do appear to be dead, and I can confirm after some experimentation that they appear to transmit via bite or death. As I said aggressive, We haven't been able to pull one off of a kine before it kills it in order to see if its the bite or the death that does it.

Pardon my curiosity but I must ask for cultural reasons, was it before or after the Embrace?
What was it like? Did you feel the tentacles enveloping your body and the beak ripping your flesh? Was it slow or was it fast? Did you feel the animal's hungry greed or desperation? Did the squid like and swallow your flesh, or spit it out like a shark realizing it can't eat human flesh? Do you think it was the same squid coming back to eat you again?
>Got any idea about other powers that I might have?
If there's a chance you're a Gangrel, you should be able to command animals too, you should be resilient rather than being strong, and able to transform parts of your body, like seeing in the dark or growing sharp claws. It's not the same as Vicissitude, the latter lets you transform others.

Dead which weren't human. Fascinating. Bones cobbled together without a care for the original human owner or species, perhaps? Or completely artificial bones.

Hmmm... Forgive me, Your Highness, but this seems to contradict the above statement, that they weren't human... Surely the victims of infection were once human, and then turned into these things? Either way we need more data.

before, was pretty quick, got bit by it's beak but the suit took the brunt of it, I stabbed it and somehow I managed to get it just right so the thing instantly died and went limp.
the second time my side got bit but thankfully it wasn't too deep, a shark that was hanging nearby took the opportunity to attack the squid and dragged it off into the deep.

I may have spoken poorly, they are humans and transformed humans. I meant to make clear that they are dead and not some species of ghouls or living dead similar to vampires.

As for their insides, while once human, the entire transformation (that happens after death) gives them their typical sharky look and does something to their insides. It's hard to explain, they're all wrong. If you cut open a vampire, you could use them as a morbid anatomy dummy. These things have insides that are like their guts and sinew transformed or were corrupted of some kind? None of the organs are unaffected, all of the organs are in the wrong locations, all of the organs have tumors and most of the connections (bowels, esophogus, etc) are multiplied and going to the wrong spots. All of the zombies appear to have tumors although it does not appear to inhibit them, the tumors generally contain mismatched bodily anatomy (I guess in medicine this would be called terotomas?). One example tumor, a second interior stomach that is not attached to anything else but is being consumed by a rudimentry jaw also growing in the same tumor, Second example tumor, appears to be a collection of Ichor and Scar Tissue, Third example tumor caught fire when exposed to air, exploding slightly splashing everything with acidic ichor. And so on. You can understand by Frustration.

I have the parliment on increased patrols. Honestly my malkavian is having a hard time keeping the locals in line with this, between the attacks and disappearances (Both still going up) and the 'patrols of leather wearing gangsters' which are my own Clan members trying to quash this whole thing. Still no Vector as best we can notice. I may actually have to call for counsel at this rate.

Shortly before coming home, my dinosaur brood-brother Cezar was "ambushed" by a trio of these zombies. Or maybe it was the other way around. He impaled one with his horn and crushed the other two underfoot. He too reports a bizarre internal anatomy as you say, My Prince.

Did Your Highness' Packmates find any similarities between the creature with the dark aura and them? Is it a similar type of creature? Do Disciplines work against them? How do they interact with our animal scouts, and can they infect them?
Suzana sends you a DM titled: "Requesting orders.", she wants to be told where her talents could be most useful.

>>98802142
Tabarin doesn't want to boss around Suzana, he considers her something of a kindred soul and I'm only one cheaty generation older then you so

Ha, I would have liked to see Cezar in action, although I admit I hope I never need to. I am tracking down the pack that dispatched the old man, but this doesn't seem as related. There was no zombies there. The old man wasn't a zombie, the zombies are too aggressive to have left him alone if they were there. I fear this is a dead end.

Disciplines work fine against these creatures. The zombies attack animals if they are slow, but honestly most living creatures seem to almost sense the zombies? I haven't tested it extensively, but I can see the difference in horses and other herd animals if one of the creatures is within earshot let along eyeshot. Perhaps there is something to do with sound? Or perhaps it is just the normal keen senses of our betters. The zombies don't infect animals, they will maul humans but they will rip apart and consume animals. Even if pulled off the corpse, the animal corpses show no signs of change.

If you could assist me with detecting these creatures or any other lore of them, it would of great assistance.

I started my nightly horseback patrols, my backup plan is fairly simple, any enemy I can't deal with myself, I draw towards Cezar.
He insists what we really should search for are the leaders of these zombies, an equivalent of the werewolves having alphas, he is convinced there has to be a chain of command, even a linear and simple one. The only thing I'm certain of, whoever may be in charge doesn't seem to care much for a Masquerade.

Would that I could, but he has lived off-grid since before I was embraced. Never met him. I've also heard he is completely non-verbal, very dedicated to being a dinosaur. One would almost think he turned into a wight if not for his capacity for strategy, he has a tendency to lure his victims into simple traps before he feeds on them. I wonder if the dinosaur stage is a step on the path to achieving Azhi Dahaka and becoming the ultimate dragon of yore.

if getting a chunk bitten out is a peck then yes, a peck. gotten bit on the face, side, leg and chest by varying size of squid. my most recent dive was when I was a vamp and a couple humbolts grabbed me and dragged me incredibly deep hoping to kill me from pressure change like they do to their prey usually. I couldn't tell but I imagine they were surprised when not only did I not die but fought back and torn one apart with my teeth and cut up some others before they let me be. Have seen some weird shit at the bottom of the ocean before. A weird ass shark that had glowing eyes was one but thankfully what looked like a megalodon came and ate it before it got dangerous for me. I stopped questioning the shit I see down there and after getting turned I just went "none of my business, got shit to do."

>>98805833
>Never met him. I've also heard he is completely non-verbal, very dedicated to being a dinosaur.
This is so very sad to read, to think Cezar's been pestering me with every publication on dinosaurs caring for their young since the description of Maiasaura.

Heed, O young one, though you never met this Grandsire of yours, he has one lesson to teach you yet!

Thou shalt not become a "Beast."
Thou shalt not become an "animal."
Thou shalt not become a "human."
Thou shalt not become a "vampire."
Thou shalt transcend all four, and become one above and beyond such things.

>>98808446
>gotten bit on the face, side, leg and chest by varying size of squid
Did the thought of the squids liking you, beyond seeing you as a possible source of protein and other nutrients, ever cross your mind?
>A weird ass shark that had glowing eyes was one but thankfully what looked like a megalodon came and ate it before it got dangerous for me.
The ocean is so full of wonders. A Megalodon, even.
Sure. Tzimisce are often seen as gross, monstrous, icky, weird and alien even by their fellow vampires, not just physically, and for good reason.
In the case of Suzana, she views the struggle for survival as a very intimate and emotionally charged affair between two lives, the encounter of flesh against flesh.
This latest post of yours is pleasant to her because she's never done anything like SCUBA diving or the like, so this kind of torment the squids were doing to you is novel to her.
She is avidly reading your posts, imagining herself as a squid trapping and savoring her victim, the more detailed and vivid your description of your attacks and flesh being torn from you, and the more vigorous yet futile the victim's resistance in her imagination, the better.
Did I answer your question to your satisfaction, or should we go deeper (pun intended)?

>>98808446
>>98809867
I always imagined the deep ocean was ruled by Tzimisce methuselah who transcended vampirism by becoming marine megafauna and living so deep that sunlight can not reach them. They have no care for life on the surface and have existed in the deep since before the flood. That's why everything in the abyss is so weird and crazy looking, Tzimisce elders made them.

Just a theory anyways.

The Giovanni are a family first - a family of kine, ghouls and Kindred - and then one of the thirteen Clans of Kindred. They've been able to remain independent from the Camarilla and Sabbat and their wars also because if you attack someone with "Giovanni" as surname, you attack all of them.

they aren't capable of that, squid regularly cannibalize each other if one shows weakness, there's even more monstrous things in the deep though.
One time I was working and the floodlight flickered off, when it came back on I saw a sperm whale fighting with a giant squid though they quickly dived into the inky black so I don't know who won though it was likely either the sperm whale or the squid managed to escape.
Hell I was tempted to swim over and join in just to get a bite out of whatever I could grab.
The hunger... oh the hunger....
It was difficult but I shook it off and resumed my work.
thank you for the clarification. Although kindred don't do such actions, I assume Suzana is doing the tzimisce version of masturbation at the thoughts of the creatures of the deep preying upon each other.

i was born in 1896 and spent my life inventing and then perfecting dog perfumes. because dogs can smell ten to a hundred thousand times as acutely as humans, the amount of olfactory dog joy i created dwarfed the positive contributions of every other human being to ever live, ensuring that upon my death in 2013 all other souls were banished from heaven and none have been admitted since. i dont think its fair but what am i supposed to do?

my best friend and lover octavio gusteau riviera started the first dog restaurant to win two michelin stars, but it turns out dog taste buds aren't very impressive so he's in hell too

The kine of El Paso are becoming smarter and more paranoid, I don't think fledglings are going to like it.

But if it's no man's land, what are ladies like us supposed to be afraid of? We are no men!
I'm just joking, of course.
>>98812730
>they aren't capable of that
I do wonder about that. My ever-updated brood-brother says cephalopods are more socially intelligent than we used to think.
>squid regularly cannibalize each other if one shows weakness, there's even more monstrous things in the deep though.
Cannibalism too? The ocean is the gift that keeps on giving. Glorious.
>I saw a sperm whale fighting with a giant squid
I just saw recorded footage of a sperm whale eating one for the first time. Seeing it in person must have been a life affirming experience.
It's a more complex than that. At least according to Suzana herself, it's not "mental" masturbation or some sexual yoga, nor does she simply have a fetish for hard vore or for predation.
What Suzana does, or thinks she is doing, is giving "treats" to the Beast and playing with it by visualizing cruel, savage scenarios in her head.
The lady thinks herself above and beyond the Beast, and she administers caresses and beatings with the same hand. The Beast is neither ally nor enemy, it's just another victim to her.
When she posed this question to Electric Bat: "What's wrong with some positive reinforcement once in a while?", that is what she was really thinking.
The lash stings the hardest when love is present.

>In other exciting news, Vampires are not immune to this Zombification. Most of the pack sent to take down the old man is missing and presumed dead or zombified. Zombified vamps don't seem to fair any better then the people except for maybe the Alpha or original vector.
That's actually how I figured it out, We were bringing some samples in for study and I recognized that old cud's tattoos. Dang it Clive.

We're tracking down anyone not accounted for. Things are starting to fall in place.
>In other other news
These zombies are also day walkers. Even the brightest sunlight only seems to stun or torpor them. The humans have confirmed they are active from roughly 4pm to 8am everyday.
>When asked why they didnt inform us sooner, they simply said they thought we knew.
They say that vampirism is the mix of three curses. At this rate we're going to be starting a new strain of vampires as this forth curse of idiocy mixes in.

>>98815598
Oh joy. I also have news from this side of the frontlines.
First, the Ducti of three separate Sabbat packs asked me to "pressure" Your Highness into authorizing the making of shovelheads to fight the zombies - those braindead neonates will cost you the war. Can't they think of anything else?
Second, I spotted an abnormally large wolf with a lupine's bright aura. White fur, blue eyes.
Third, the Elders back in Europe called and they want me, Cezar and the Revenants back, urgently so, and they're not asking.
It wasn't even this zombie apocalypse or a lupine, it had to be my very own Elders, the Elders are killing my American Dream.
I'll DM you all the intelligence we gathered, Prince La Fou.

>>98816909
>and they're not asking.
Suzana, I know this is unexpected no one asked for a zombie invasion, but I must admit to feeling a certain fondness for you. I have discussed with Elder Baltek and at the very least, his immediate family do seem to be putting roots down into the bones of the mountain as he says.
>I've fought on every coast of the America's, I've been here since the indian wars, I've fought in Brazil, Columbia and Panama, America, Canada and everywhere in between.
There is simply one part to being American, to belonging to these lands. It's when someone tries to rip the American Dream out of your hands, to hold onto it. And not let go.
>and I'm asking you to not let go.
You've been a gentle salve to my beast Suzana. I must admit, I find it much easier to imagine the calm and benevolent future with you by my side. I cannot tell you to stay or go, but if you are the Texas Dragon, it is time to put your claws into the American Dream. If your Eldars cannot understand the grace and power that gives you, surely they will in the coming decades and centuries. I am asking you to stay here. Stay by my side. Be the Texas Dragon, nay, the American Dragon that your Clan needs.

I will not deny. My troubles are many. They are heaped about me. My solution will prevail, how much gladder will that solution be with you by my side? I think you know.

I will continue working on my Silver City. I hope you join me there.

This is my decision as a free woman: if they want to end my Dream so bad, they can come and get me. So I'll just tell them I'm not coming because I'm fighting for my unlife over here.

The smarter Sabbat packs are "drawing aggro", as they say, and use whichever vehicles they have to deliver zombies to Cezar. The braver ones will try and bring them over to the lupine.
They see it as a Game of Instinct.

Between the last two nights, I was able to rescue a handful of townsfolk designated by their fellows as scapegoats, and made ghouls of them. Now that they have a new home, they're some of the most devoted, adoring brand new ghouls I ever had.
I may be a monster, but the scapegoating social mechanism is something that disgusts even my Beast, a reminder why we ought to rule over these creatures.

>the camarilla is spread thin. weak
It doesn't help that his grace is a troublesome combination of unorthodox and successful.
The highest tiers of the Camarilla has very, very strict rules over what is and isn't acceptable behavior for a Prince. Among that is burying the hatchet with the Sabbat, especially a founding clan like the Tzimisce, let alone the Anti-Antitribu that came along with. His willingness to do so has doubtlessly raised some hackles within the Ivory Tower, who can't act against him directly partially because he's an Archon and partially because the rewards of leaving him be (El Paso, the Money from it, etc) are too great.
But why directly act to kill him when he's made much of the region his enemy? Let the Blatherskites fly free and the bezoars feast, let zompires (or vambies?) turn the domain into a masquerade breach of legendary proportions, let him speak freely with a lupine and get disemboweled.
There is no call to run in and rescue LaFou when it's far less troublesome to let him get killed and send someone more pliant to rule over what remains. Whatever allies he has, they don't go past his domain. And how many will remain is a matter to be seen.
...
Okay so they'll probably all stick around to see Cezar fight the Zombie/Vampires. Not lightly does one miss out on that sort of spectacle.

Back from the gig, thank god for not needing to sleep or require air.
Occasionally heard whispering in the water behind me and could swear I almost saw some big sea serpent looking thing swimming by but other than that nothing new or exciting to report.
What's new for the rest of you?

I have never tried carbonated blood.
Might be fun.
Sparkling blood.

>>98833342
Oh maybe you can help me with this one. If the werewolf who insisted on meeting you, tries to kill you, but you both survive. Does that mean we're werewolf besties now?

Might as well tell the whole tale, I'm sure he is.

Go to the meeting, his behavior suggested that he at least wanted to talk and then fight. I was prepared to do either.

Immediately ahhh wolfs out? What's it called. Battle Form? Everything I try to find online is talking about American Werewolf in Paris, which is funny enough considering.

I said I was prepared to fight, and for a second I thought I had a chance. I had my lucky Kabar, I have Fortitude, and Potence and Celerity in admitted unbalanced amounts. I thought I had a chance. He transformed and I struct. I'm honestly proud, in terms of a opening strike. I have never been so fast, so deadly. Hamstrings snap, guts spill out, Spine stabbed, Throat Cut, Snout damn near severed. Eyes gouged. I was trying to jam my damn Kabar deep enough to get his monstrous heart as he started falling back, yanking it out of my hands.

He should have been dead, he started falling back as if dead. His blood and guts were spattering everwhere. He was dead.
>I was so sure of it.
But, something changed. He rolled into the drop and his blood painted the floor like floodwater in a trailer home. He struct, my Kabar still stuct in his side.

The first strike hit my Marble flesh. The flesh cracked. I survived. I slung out own claws. I am not an amazing protean user but I am proficient. I was outgunned. The White Fur, Blue eyed wolf must have stood at least 12 foot tall in his hybrid form. His knuckles dragged but each hand was a scythe. I was so certain he must be on the edge, pushing. I thought I just had to strike home, finish it. My blood sang to end this thing.

I struct, it struct twice. Two more massive rends along my flesh. My own blood was beginning to paint the floor. Just drops now. I feed the blood to keep them from being something more.

I put everything into it. I struct.
>It struct me back three times.
I'm pretty sure my chest cannot physically be caved in but I could hear parts of my chest hitting the floor. It sounded like breaking roof tiles.

I had no choice, I ran. I transformed into mist. The dog tried to chase me down, hunt me. Mark where I would rest, but I got out before it was critical. I had reserves, I had prepared lines of retreat. The damn thing ran thru three or four lines of silvered claymores before it too broke off.It bellowed cursing me as a puppet of Pentex, a coward, a leech. All sorts of things.

It took most of the night but I have largely recovered. I still have a chunk missing from my chest, and the rest is marked with ragged fault cracks but I'm alive.
>Pentex is less then 3% of the investment Porfolio in the combined El Paso/Juarez area. That 3 percent is only here from a investment company that some of my Ventrue allies manage. It's so far removed from my actual concerns. What a waste of time. It walked off with my Kabar.

I fear I have wasted momentum of this werewolf trash. But what does any trooper do, after getting his ass handled to him.

First of all, I wish to congratulate you, My Lord, for your bravery and survival.
The stories go that Your Highness' own Clan is the one with the best track record with achieving peace and even cooperation with the wolves, however, this humble servant must say she doesn't think the lupine calling you a coward, a puppet of his boogeymen, and the rest of those slurs, is an indication that he sees you as his best friend. I'd sooner believe the opposite.
Hopefully the lupine will think harder before issuing another such challenge, Machiavelli did say it's better to be feared than to be loved, after all.
If only these animals had enough intelligence to help us against our shared enemies on either side of the Masquerade more often.

>>98835999
Man I ain't the guy to explain but here goes.

A while back I jumped into a war over Winnipeg with the Sabbat. The kind of Sabbat where other parts of the Sabbat were helping us try and displace the freaks. Our side won, but lemmie tell you it was costly. We got a shrine of martyrs in the cricket temple now.

But the woman who'd spearheaded the effort, an elder Gangrel on site called H0T_G4R0U3S got really fucked up. Half cognizant, can't speak or even type now. Also, like cursed with parts of her turning into Holly.

I stayed in Winnipeg after the battle for a bit, looked to getting my vampire crack shack set up. Helped throttle a piece of shit Tzimisce Elder who'd sat out that entire battle and made my bro a psudo-voivode. As you do right?

Well, H0T_G4R0U3S and her pet Malk went up north after the war, with some friends to see if they could find a mysterious forest with some creep shit some Nossies had come across last century. Weird grove of trees. Except apparently there is something big seeping vitae in the soil. Like, all over the North Western Territories into Yukon. Apparently the 'splotch' is like- the size of Texas maybe. Fucking with the normies and making lots of people technical ghouls, giving the plants all kinds of life. And I been up here for weeks dealing with the still burning forest fires and ignoring all this Antideluvian talk.

Shit is whack yo,

>Also sorry I don't have anything I could offer for like- Deep sea encounters
I wouldn't expect you to have deep sea encounters, far as I know none of us go down there enough and most humans that do tend not to get embraced as it's such a specialist occupation. I do have a few stories that aren't from oceanwork, one of the gigs I did before I was deep water welding certified I was at a chemical plant welding in some need piping. A little down the hall some guys were cutting into a section of pipe to replace it. While it was closed off the higher ups or whoever was responsible neglected to purge the pipe or even inform the workers that it was not only still filled with stuff but was also under pressure. Soon as they breached the inside of the pipe the guy holding the cutter got sprayed all along his right side with what I later found out was concentrated hydrofluoric acid, he stumbled down the hall but only made it a yard or so before his arm and leg sloughed off and he fell over dead. Heard later that the overseer of that plant was friends with the osha inspector so nobody got charged or even a citation handed out. the buddy of the cutter was understandably shaken but by that point in my life I'd seen some visceral stuff so my reaction was not as emotional as some of you probably would be seeing that. 1/2

I'd love to visit one night as the people must have some stories to tell and those stories need to be preserved.

Just help me understand. Why are the wolves, interested in my investment collection? My initial research (after my Hirsuite friend mentioned it) suggestions the usual corporate raider and diversified holding company? Have they runned down some companies already on the way out? Sure. Have they sacked pensions and stolen govenrment incentives? Sure but I expect that from anyone. Just a broad look at them suggests their holdings are listed in the hundreds of billions and the number of companies that they own minorities in are thousands upon thousands.

Prince La Fou! You know your humble servant did not mean to call "magnificent" the creature itself, but the progress in understanding our enemy. Strategic value, not aesthetics!

Yes, Your Highness.

we either work together or die alone. simple as.

now, for what i specifically want? there are two primary hubs for the clan right now, one in tokyo and the other down in bum-fuck shikoku. they're both swimming in issues and having someone to front run and take the train regularly would be a massive boon to their long term survival, as much as them not awakening old world grudges. the shikoku faction in particular is bad as they want to avoid the 'corruption of the pits.' as if having a network of thinbloods and caitiffs hasn't been whats kept the entire east coast intact.

i'll need you to maintain your present cover and take a few trips to the respective parties and tell them, courtesy of me and a dozen like me, to STOP FUCKING AROUND as the clan across the see do not want to repeat another hiroshima incident.

do that and we can examine the relationship you have with us, and we can dispense more than a little help.

>>98838648
Okay look you need to understand theres more to all of this than just hee hee haa haa cómico pesos this shit gets into mark of the beast stuff. As in you fuck up and sign the wrong dotted line and the super-corp in question suddenly is everywhere and is spirutually shitting all over the place.

As I said before, theres shit you moved right beside that is the kind of bad shit I can't fully explain it to you. You hear hunters go on about how we suffer a fate worse than death. Peh/ You got an actual pit full of 'fate worse than death' in your vicinity.

>The fuck does that have to do with my rotting talking cadaver here?
You moved in pendejo. Now you gotta deal with the neighbours that the Sabb dealt with.

>>98839751
The only thing we can say for certain is the big guy loves small farm chickens. Not talkative.

>>98840015
Alright. But it needs to wait until after I find the others here. Being that Tokyo is some 1000km away from here, I'll hit Shikoku first, chts. And I make no guarentees on their willingness to listen or their unwillingness to just kill me outright!

yea and a mid-speed train can make it in 3 hours unless theres an osaka in hokkaido i wasn't told about.
but its your choice. and if you want to do the hard side of this lil quest first? fine. but that means i'll need to send you something first. in the next business day you should be getting a ritual mask made out of a human skull and a white head cloth to let them know you're one of MY people and they can't fuck around. Along with specific coordinates. password will be oum'phor.

odds are the cell is still led by two old ancillae, ceylon is a big hung of meat whose been pretending to be a hag of every classification since just after that weasel commodore perry opened the country, and krasnaq, an overly bavarian creature that looks like a mummified dwarf.

dont bring up ww1 with him he never got over getting kicked out of tientsin.

>>98842763
I have, so many questions. Answers for which can wait a business day and some train rides, thankfully.
First though, how exactly is the clan meant to handle the Giovanni knowing how I look. And don't say make me back into a Nosferatu, I can make phones explode.

>>98843226
we have a few options with how...
delicate japan is right now.

best case scenario? we get this in an omnibus deal with other shit for things burned and make the gios pull back to their fucking lane. and just about every scenario from there down the road towards 'worst' can be summed up as how many venetians we need to 'kowtow.' lot of variations with how we do it.

part of why my preference is with tokyo, its still the primary diplomatic hub. not just for you and i either. there are parties in japan that make my skin crawl that we need to consider.

oh i could be skinning a guy right now but i need to

We're going in circles! First we need to focus on the situation at hand. I have a good idea where we can learn where this ThoromBite stuff is manufactured, even illegal supply chains have records. But the building that should have them is going to have cameras and thanks to the hospital's cameras and Venetian social media, the Giovanni know my face, at least the internet using ones.
Meaning if I'm spotted; they'll know they're being watched and do anything from destroy the records to going after my mom to killing the captured dotonbori TBs. Possibly the same for any hanshin Nosferatu we (you) send in. So, how do we get in unseen?

>>98843754
im not going in circles i need to consider the big picture
a big picture that involves government agencies dragging you and your mom irregardless of how we handle this
but if you insist on going after this first? i know a gangrel whose spiritually one of my clan i can get to you by midnight. expert at severing buildings from a powerline and a nose for security infrastructure. goes by dudeoji. doesn't speak at all but follows orders.

my advice for a plan? go under, let dudeoji rip out the cameras and any local security nodes, and however unpleasant it is let him get you in. alternatively let dudeoji cause a ruckus after wiiping out undersystems and go in through another route.

>>98845067
Perfect. Hopefully the paper trail is just Paper, but I should be able to handle it if we need to power up a computer. Thank you Mr. Rump. I swear if this works I will be in your debt.

Considering the ongoing zombie crisis and Prince La Fou's loosened restrictions on Embraces, there is a surplus of fledglings, and the Balteks have successfully roped me into establishing what looks more and more like a school for fledglings.
That was clever, I'll admit it, but it wasn't clever enough to have me take responsibility as if these all pupils were my own childer under the Fourth Tradition, as if I wouldn't find out.
I am not having any of that nonsense.
I am willing to pass some wisdom to the next generations, but with or without my lessons, the fledglings will accompany their registered, real Sires in their respective Sabbat Packs, and learn the more practical aspects of hunting and fighting from them.
I will not be anyone's surrogate mother, especially not when the Sire is right here and the rest of the Pack are the next in line.

Did you experience an intense rage, lately? Clan Gangrel tend to acquire animal anatomical features when they frenzy.

>>98846638
>Did you experience an intense rage, lately?
nope, not really. Kak said I should see if someone called 'Shark' is alive but I have no context for that to go off of so can anybody give me a quick rundown on who 'Shark' is and why Kak would send me to talk to him?

>>98845790

Shark was, depending on who you asked, a Wereshark Abomination, a maritime gangrel like Leatherneck, a Not-Quite-Nictuku of Absimmilard or a Ghouled Shark granted sentience via biting into the fiber optic cables on the ocean floor. Rump has a betting pool on which, say Rump; what's the current pot?
We haven't heard from them in a minute. But if you're in the water, you might meet them.

Eh?

den boys love a good shark tale ye know

>>98855747
yea. shark is a weird mother fucker man.
also if you ain't in the loop you can consider them progeny (allegedly) of the nosferatu antideluvian who for whatever reason wants us all wiped out.
bit of a cunt he is. the nictuku are his good little slaves for the task. (allegedly) again.

>>98855747
What I get for typing too fast. A-Not-Quite-Nictuku *Childe* of Absimiliard. The Nos Antediluvian, rumored to be sleeping in the belly of a Whale in the Ocean. As far as I know, Vampires can't turn animals, but things get weird as they get older.

>>98855775
don't encourage that rumor.

I'm so sorry, Prince La Fou, I failed you, New Carpathia and the New World... My Sire and my brood-Aunt came, they undid Cezar's dinosaur body and now we're being transported to Europe.
Even though I'm a captive, she's letting me type on this cell phone and express my grief and anger freely, because there isn't a single punishment she can imagine in her twisted mind that could hurt me more than this. She's watching me, she's having the time of her unlife, and my Sire hasn't even said a single word.

There was blood on the touchscreen and only now I realized I'm crying, I even forgot I could do that.

>>98856062
Two 7th gens Tzimsice, one has 5 dots in Koldunism the other has Vicissitude and Protean at 6, Suzana will commit Diablerie on either if given the chance. Also Cezar is 8th gen and has Vicissitude 4, Protean 4, Fortitude 4, Potence 3, Celerity 2, and Str, 4 Dex 4, Sta 5

Close but no cigar. So old Gangrel Voorhees is still seventh generation after the attack. Normally I'd roll for his target of the two, but him accidentally picking up Kold is too funny to pass up. The Walking Masquerade violation literally drives a truck into this and the swarm of amplified coyotes streams in after. Also, Suzana is like to recognize some of necrophage's temporary allies from among the recently embraced who booked it. Ball is in her court now, now that she's triggered necro's libertad autism.

>>98853774
>all the information you have?
this, can't get a hold of Kak and I'm waiting on the next contract right now so I'm toying with these abilities. So far when I use that "water vision" thing my eyes turn pure black, I've had people forget I'm in the room with them, and I seem to be able to move through water easier with little movement like something's pushing me, and while fire burns me the wound acts like how burns would when I was human, can't regen them but they heal slowly yet I don't burst into flames like most of us. I have no idea who turned me but he must have been a weird bastard...

AS IT TURNS OUT I AM NOT, IN FACT, FREE OF DESIRE
Blood sorcery, including Koldunism and Necromancy can't be learned by Diablerie even with The Black Hand - A Guide to the Tal'Mahe'Ra updated Diablerie rules on page 180.

But Suzana could teach it to Necrophage, it's the least she could do for saving her American Dream.

Anyway, the Elder that doesn't get eaten by Necrophage completely locks in on Cezar and as they kill him, they don't suspect Suzana would do the Amaranth.

Does Necrophage have a pack for Suzana to join? Which faction is he? Is he a Sabbat Loyalist?

Truth be told I always thought Suzana was going to ditch Tabby, eventually, and join the Spanish-speaking, New World Sabbat.

Shall we toast with the Vaulderie cup?

Whew, that was intense. Unfortunately I have to go to bed.

Lmao
Ironically, this is the single most likely time for him to actually accept such an offer. Man's still at his most social. And as she's around she'll probably see the signs and be able to let him in.

There are probably a few packs that would take Suzana given the chance and the political situation, mostly scattered gangrel, displaced lasoms, panders, bru antribu, with a smattering of everyone else. Although these are small and very desperate groups who don't have the option of running further south or don't want to give up on retaking the city. And as for Necrophage? Politically you could describe him as 'so psychotically orthodox (expressly to Caine alone) he loops around to being a demi-anarch Loyalist.' To the point he basically got used as a templar at points hunting more rogue sabbat than anyone else. Got called in by allies in Quebec and him and his hyena ghoul Ooka are almost as scary as the zombie apocalypse ant the worm infestation to the locals.

But you'll get that toast ritae before anything else.
