    February 13th Official Court - Movie Madness


    The Official February Court concluded with performances in competition for Tenancy. Harpy Brown for provided the beautiful piano accompaniment to the duet of Mr. James Calloway and Deputy Dillon Connery singing Phantom of the Opera from the musical of the same name. Mr. Chase Ankers recite an excerpt from Network. Emma French played piano and sang Hello. Jose Matias delighted the Domain with a Capoeria demonstration, and Ciara Maskelyne sang Fading Like a Flower. The Seneschal and Herald convened to select the recipients of Tenancy and later announced Jose Matias and Dillon Connery as the new tenants in the Regency of Valencia. Of course, what’s a court without a few Faux Pas. Luckily none of them were worthy of banishment to the barrens that night.

    Around the Requiem

    From rising mafia’s to book shop customers discussing movie genres, we have seen it all this month. Too bad that the idealistic Francesco Giovanni was no match for Roxie Hart, who is on her turn no match for Arnold Culler. Yes, he showed up. Somewhat better organized were the couple of Carthian gatherings. First Tyler Archer and James Calloway brainstormed, another day they met with other possible Carthians. Unfortunately, they discovered only there that the ideas of Carthianism do not give much to be discussed about. Everyone fell silent…

    Good to know is that the only place where that never will or can happen is Avalon. Ariana Donovan, the new Seneschal, had to switch offices. A most interesting scene developed when James Calloway stopped by and Alexandra Yekaterina introduced herself to Seneschal Donovan. A lot of knowledge was exchanged, and when Jose Matias also appeared, they ended up talking about Valencia. They were sent to the Reeve to find out more about the Regency.

    The Reeve, Conner Greyson, is a busy man. His office is not far from Miss Donovan’s, and multiple Kindred have visited it this month. Of course, Mr. Matias and Mr. Calloway, but also Jennifer Hazelton as the Invictus Notary and the Reeve’s assistant.

    The Court also has the Herald’s office. Charles Black does not mind to have a most lengthy discussion with the Herald about his plans, and with her guard Deputy Dillon Connery as witness. Naturally, Martha Villiers has also welcomed the usual new arrivals in our Domain. Among the happy chatters are Daymian McMahon, Nathaniel de L'Aubespine and Lucia Marcel.

    Now we should not forget all of Sacramento’s other locations. A most interesting display of skill could be seen at Club Ember. Alice Brown and Martha Villiers could happily give Daymian McMahon a job as dancer. On the other side of town, all the dust seems to be finally swept away from the Chapter House. The Herald taught her slave Jonathan Mclean several things. Another day she was there too, with Max Heinz and Micheal Redfill. They talked about knowledge, and how to keep it. The Grand Wyrm kept books, though the younger Kindred realized what computers could be worth. The ‘to be continued’ sign was inevitable. And indeed, after coming back another day with Chase Ankers on their side, computer work should soon be a lot easier.

    The Dragon talk is even taken outside the Chapter house. At the Lily, Micheal Redfill met with Drake David Drummond to talk about the Academy. Mr. Redfill also showed up at the Crone Temple. There, during the Spring Equinox of Joy, all Acolytes had gathered with some guests sitting at the outer circle. Hierophant David Silver leads the Rites of Joy, where they celebrate that they are not alone.

    All the whispers here and gatherings there prove just that, we are not alone around the Requiem. Therefore, please follow me next to month to keep track of all the Covenants’ developments! The Woven Circle is celebrating its faith, the Sanctified have gathered, who knows what the other Covenants are up to?

    The Ring Rings a Bell
    Lucky as they are, Tyler “B. Lorenz” Archer, Michael “Mr. Stringer” Redfill and Drake “Mr. Butler” Drummond find the big Hilliard Valdemar at the coffee shop. Among the handful of other customers is even the Doctor’s friend, good old Professor Jack Levine. The KCRA Kindred show the long desired interest in the doctor’s findings. One offers publicity, the other offers information, but in the end it turns out that the kind Professor Levine keeps the good knowledge coming. Because… did he just mention they see get the ring, in a few days? It can’t be that easy, can it?

    Slicing up the strangers
    Twist’s shout through the night is soon followed by a stormy rain, due to Chris Wooding who sway the weather to their advantage with his ritual. Meanwhile Conner Greyson and Max Heinz used their enhanced eyes to pierce through the night, watching the two strangers who stepped forward, but they had no time to identify what exactly those pinpricks of blue light were. The strangers aimed their arms at the Kindred, but there was a moment of doubt. Conner threw a knife, Twist waited, and Sidor Grigoriev kept protecting Ariana Donovan. However, there is no protection against the strange pyrotechnic rain that flew through the night, ready to burn their flesh. Then literally, the heat of the battle commenced, Josephine Powell’s fists initiated the fight that quickly took out the two strangers. Two strange strangers, that may be said. Because why do they keep sticks of butter hidden under their clothes… and… and… what are their friends doing to the theater! Damn Staley.

    Dark Deeds Indeed
    With Andy saved, Tracy could now focus on finding The Decapitator. Meanwhile Deputized, she gathered Alice Brown, Chase Ankers, Jennifer Hazelton and Neil Kingsley. The work was divided; the Deputy and Kingsley will investigate the station, Mr. Ankers and Madam Hazelton will try to find an answer to the question if the decapitation is linked to an earlier murder case in December. Alice Brown will question the station manager, he must know more. Well, let’s wait and see what they all find out.

    The Reverence Revisited

    With Adona Quince left behind, Alice Brown and Chase Ankers continued their investigation on the so-called Lifers. With the help of Nika Crassus they could watch some security tapes from the Reverence. On the tapes, they noticed that a waitress had contact with the fake vampires. With this being their biggest lead so far, the two went to visit the waitress and nearly drowned her with their Blood Gifts. Now, all they can do is wait until one of the Lifers shows up again.

    The Regent's Relic

    The bank robbery is getting more and more exciting. Alice Brown has taken the manager outside and is now having a bitch fight with his wife. Way more interesting though is what happens inside. As soon as Daniella Sage and Ricardo Rodriguez worked their way around the security, the Mekhet went stealthy and actually got to the Helmet. Meanwhile Ricardo picked up a security phone and got the message that the police was on its way. Uh-oh indeed. They got what they want, but will they get away with it?

    Insurgents Epilogue

    No matter what the Kindred had expected, or hoped for, none was able to get useful information. Sidor Grigoriev had never been so intimidating, but nothing came from Terrified Teller's mouth except for blood. Conner Greyson and the Deputy came to the conclusion that Teller Kent would not have more to tell than emphasizing the Bride's failure, so with a stake in his heart they got rid of Kent.
    Meanwhile Tracy Burns and David Silver continued to follow the last bride. Tracy drove her away a moment on her bike while the Hierophant followed them through the perceptional powers of Cruac. Tracy desperately tried to get to know more, but the girl insisted on continuing by herself, out of town.
    It all sounds like a sad ending, but on the bright side… do not forget that yet another threat is eliminated. All happy? At least San Francisco is.

    Howe Park Search
    Do we not know that the park is never safe? How many mothers have warned their children? Apparently not the mother of the two teenagers being slaughtered in the park. Some Kindred gathered, Charles Black, Emma French, Dillon Connery and Yekaterina Alexandrovitch, to investigate the hideous crime scene. A it that turned out to be a she, disappeared in the ground. Now what to do? At least watch your back… or beneath your feet.

    Hart’s herd
    The team, comprised of Adam York, James Calloway, Dr. Robert Swift, and Jose Matias, 'politely interrogated' a group of nerds who claimed to know the owner of the dog, one Jillian Malloy, who they determined Roxie Hart had accounted for. After a number of polite persuasion attempts and threats, they determined that numerous nerds from a comic book shop called Paradox had been helping Jillian out to take care of Jeff, her dog. After having made at least one nerd wet himself with fear, the group made their way to Paradox, where they began to try to figure out who had seen an event the trio at the apartment building had referred to that had happened the night before.

    Beating Bobby
    After an endless discussion, and with help of the matter of subject himself, David Silver, Brenn Lawrence and Gene got to a solution. Miss Lawrence several times intimated Bobby Lau, which seemed to have no effect. The Asian Kindred remained calm all the time. So now they made a deal. With the promise not to torpor anyway, the three Kindred will fight Bobby. Sounds fair huh?! Let's wait to see what the Asian man got up to his sleeve!

    Sincerely,
    Harpy Alice Brown

At last, it would be unfair not to note Mister James Calloway, since he provided me some information on some matters. I hope you all have found and will continue to find my contribution to the Domain useful. Merci beaucoup.

    To The Society of Sacramento:

    Eternal Court XX


    Eternal Court this month was full of intrigue... and some violence. Many of the Society's Kindred were in attendance this evening, to observe a spectacle of social faux-pas and difficult decisions.

    Various newcomers made themselves known this month as well. Some made themselves known peacefully: Neil Kingsley, Bobby Lime, Zach Griffiths and Catherine Keyes made their entry well, getting to know the various Court officers. But Annalise Hernandez and Alexander Schmider were the center of some very dangerous attention.

    Annalise Hernandez met Deputy Grigoriev. As a Sanctified from another city, the Daeva met her new Bishop with derision, insulting the Priscus of Haunts several times and refusing to cooperate with his directions. Deputy Grigoriev introduced her to the Seneschal, and as per his right as Bishop of the Sanctified, he stripped Miss Hernandez of her Sanctified status. He also forbade the new Kindred to use Theban Sorcery on pain of being nailed to his church door. She has not been heard from ever since.

    Violence exploded at Court. After discussing joining a coterie with James Calloway and Chris Wooding, Jose Matias was met by Alexander Schmider, a patchwork Nosferatu newcomer who was rude to him. Mr. Schmider interrupted Catherine Keyes and Deputy Tracy Burns in conversation, electing to menace Miss Keyes and anger the Deputy. Tracy Burns struck him with a stake to the chest. Jose Matias then violated Elysium by striking the Nosferatu with a flurry of kicks.

    The Reeve brought all parties involved into a meeting, along with Deputies Ricardo Rodriguez and Dillon Connery. Jose showed no remorse and was sentenced to a choice of banishment or the painful cutting of his Achilles tendon. Mr. Matias selected banishment and was taken to the Barrens by Deputy Connery.

    After that, Seneschal Donovan, Herald Villiers, Grand Wyrm Max Heinz and Deputy Sidor Grigoriev were brought in to help decide what would be done with Alexander Schmider. When neither man would take responsibility for Schmider, the Herald, Seneschal and Reeve collectively concluded that the best place for Mr. Schmider was in the Necropolis with Lord Arnold Culler. He fell silent and Deputy Rodriguez agreed to take him.

    Generally speaking, the reactions to the violence were shocking and negative. It seems the Society much appreciates the law against violence in Elysium.


    Around the Requiem

    At the Temple of the Woven Circle, some new members were, as they say, woven into the Circle of the Crone. All and all was the Spring Equinox a rite of joy indeed. Again there was a part where visitors could enjoy the rites of the Goddess and there was a private part for all Acolytes.

    The Sanctified also gathered shortly to make Sacramento's Lancea Sanctum more structured, as was needed according to Bishop Sidor Grigoriev. Dillon Connery was appointed Deacon and Josephine Powell would soon be Paladin. Then after sharing their faith by witnessing the Dark Miracles the Faithful departed.

    Next to our religions, there were also family meetings this month. Clan Mekhet met at Avalon. Surprising was the presence of Thomas O'Conner, the man has returned to the Domain. All Shadows introduced themselves, among them three relatively new arrivals Bobby Lime, Neil Kingsley and Catherine Keyes. Regent Brady once more reaffirmed the invitation of feeding rights in Citrus Heights, and the Priscus of Mekhet Conner Greyson reminded them that the Clan's special gift, Auspex, is not to be taught outside the Clan. Before leaving again, everyone informed the others on their qualities, that they may be useful in the future.

    Beside Clan Mekhet, all Savages gathered as well. As soon as the first Gangrel arrived at the Seven Stars Motel there was an obvious shared contempt against Francesco Giovanni. The first words spoken were logically filled with some introductions, warnings to behave good and as Roxie says: don’t be a dumbass. Moving on the way only Gangrel can, Tracy Burns was named Whip of Savages. After the expected congratulations, it is time for questions. Apparently that follows in calling Chris Wooding a Clannist, at their clan meeting, curious. Then after some last barks the beasts of beasts departed.

    Aid of the Domain

    The Ring Rings a Bell
    It indeed could not be so easy that Dr. Valdemar would simply give Tyler Archer, Drake David Drummond and Michael Redfill his ring. They follow him in his car, pondering about what to do and concerned about certain speculations. Then to the surprise of all of them a third car intervenes, it tries to keep up, even ram them, and eventually they all have to stop. While the very well educated Kindred cannot do much to the situation, Dr. Valdemar steps out while pointing his gun at the two women from the third car. The older woman says she just needs the ring. Need for what? Can a single ring truly be so precious?

    Slicing up the strangers
    With no enemy bones spared, Twist and the others destroyed most of the strangers; all but one, Heathcliff Staley. It has been said that the man would be Lazarus' perfect pawn. Truth be told, the man was insane. After destroying several Kindred with high standing in the Prince's Domain, he attempted to damage the Archon and the Ballo Della Notta. Fortunately, he failed, and we may thank Seneschal Ariana Donovan, Chris Wooding, Josephine Powell, Reeve Conner Greyson, Max Heinz, Deputy Sidor Grigoriev & Archon Twist for that.

    Discovering the Deeds
    Under perfect command of Deputy Tracy Burns, another investigation is strictly organized. Jennifer Hazelton and Chase Ankers worked together to find information on the internet, Harpy Brown went to go to her apparently monthly visit to a manager, and the Deputy herself took a closer look around the crime scene with the help of Neil Kingsley. Team internet succeeded in no time. Mr. Ankers found more news related the decapitation case and no firewall appeared to be capable of stopping Miss Hazelton. Before she reads the morgue’s report Jennifer finds her way to the CCTV footage of the train station, which is also the thing that the Harpy gets done. With the lie of being a private investigator and a good shot of Majesty, the station’s manager helps Alice all the way he can. He gives her all the camera footage among some other information. Meanwhile outside, Tracy and Neil find out the station is only a dumping place of the body, so they follow a blood trail. It leads to an overkill of other scents and eventually it is cut off. That says something too. Altogether, the group of Kindred can conclude many things, now they need to share that information and go on. For the sake of all those who want to keep their head on the right place!

    Returned: The Regent's Relic
    Bailiff Daniella Sage, Deputy Ricardo Rodriguez and Harpy Alice Brown got away with the helmet; they took it to the Harpy's office for further investigation. There they found that within the helmet was a piece of human skin with a Hungarian text written on it. They were unable to translate the text and decided to go to Regent Erika Brady to finally return the stolen relic. As we all silently expected a little, Dr. Brady was not even slightly amused by the way, the three Kindred handled their mission. Thanks and goodbye, that was that with yet another mystery unsolved.

    The Park's Problem
    For the investigation on a hideous crime in a park, four Kindred split in two groups. On one side we had Yekaterina Alexandrovitch and Deputy Dillon Connery, the Savage Priscus turned into a large black dog while the Daeva took care of all the contacting. The other team was Charles Black and Emma French, a couple very capable of talking to each other… and making their way over to the Deputy Dog as soon as he found something. A hole dug in the ground, Emma French decided to take a closer look… she smells human waste… she goes further … a large metal pipe. Perhaps a sewer? Sure why not, getting down and dirty all the way. Respect.

    Nerd Herd
    Now Adam York, James Calloway, Dr. Robert Swift, and Jose Matias have made their way to the comic shop called Paradox, desperately trying to get to know more about Roxie’s missing herd. Most certainly, none of the nerds seems to know something about Jillian or her dog. Surely, the manager must know something, so the group follows the man to his… yeah, where did he go? They accuse him of being obfuscated until it appears that Captain America has more up to his sleeve than just a shield. Dr. Swift finds a secret passage. They proceed further below and closer into a dark room and then LIGHT! They were not directly burned, but they seriously were made to feel like vampire pizza in an oven. In the search for a way out, they blindly come along another passage. James “Wolverine” Calloway sniffs and sniffs the way through the dirty passage. Who knows where it leads to…

    The Beaten Bobby
    Though it seemed that the Kindred did not mind to build up some excitement by making their fight a long fight, the result is nonetheless pleasing. Brenn Lawrence and David Silver boxed quite well against the Asian man called Bobby Lau. Due to their teamwork, he was beaten up pretty bad. In addition, as was a part of the deal they made, Bobby Lau willingly presented himself to the Domain’s authorities, now we can only guess how Deputy Connery solves these kinds of cases.

    To The Society of Sacramento:

    Elysian Night XXI

    Talks of etiquette here, talks about the Ordo Dracul there, some spoke of culture, but all this are topics the Kindred of the Domain conversed about in peace. Between one Court so turbulent as the previous one and with an Execution Court coming ahead, the Kindred of Sacramento may have chosen this night to be quiet. Some might have wished for more to happen, especially after listening to one guy who asks questions and questions without really realizing what the answers mean. Others perhaps wished the evening never happened, say, for example Harpy Alice Brown who asks about trusted matters to Reeve Greyson.

    Perhaps next time they should all bring a visit to Sacramento’s new bard to listen to her wonderful stories. And of course, keep welcoming the new arrivals.

    Around the Requiem

    This month again all the Domain’s Kindred were busy. Many met at Avalon, where at one office an introduction soon turned into a conversation about Dubstep, while at another Office two Officials try to discover the secrets about a certain piece of human skin and a helmet.
    And 'confusions' is this month's word for the Lily: was it now that Josephine Powell asked Conner Greyson and James Calloway to dance, no it couldn't be. Still, the savage showed interest in the Reeve's activities at the Asylum. Of course, the Asylum is an interesting club, so discovered Emma French and Bobby Lime.
    Not all the activities happen at our Elysia, Allison met Herald Villiers, Deputy Connery and Chris Wooding on one of her first nights back in Sacramento.

    Now, before I feel obliged to tell a story about a Lord and Savage that walk into bar being drunk… let us continue with a view on how the Acknowledged Undead aided in securing the Domain.

    Aid of the Domain

    Dîner Italien
    The group consisting of Ricardo Rodriguez, Nathaniel de l’Aubespine, Daniella Sage, Bobby Lime, Catherine Keyes and Zachary Griffiths can hardly reach Mr. Marroletti's office. As soon as he puts the key in the lock, most of them hear something?! No one knows how soon to leave the Lock That May Go Boom™. When the thing that may go boom actually goes boom, the Kindred are surprised. There was an explosion, but the door was strong enough to hold it… if they had only gone inside.

    Returning to Roxie
    The Comic shop crew, or what was left of it, soon went back to Roxie Hart. The Regent certainly did not cool down the attitude that is her, things are taken care of quickly. She is not entirely happy, yet Dr. Robert Swift, James Calloway and Adam York all three gain Feeding Rights in the Domain of South Sacramento.

    Bobby's Shadow
    Where one answer leads to another question, Deputy Dillon Connery and the two Regents of Florin Conner Greyson and Ariana Donovan are left with one name: Madison Carothers. The Reeve, in his merciful mood, torpors Bobby Lau. No, he slams a stake through his heart. After a promise that he will personally take care of the second squatting vampire in their Domain, the three departed.

    Ring a Ding Ding
    Although the two women wanted to leave the others to save their father and husband. The persuasive capabilites of Drake David Drummond convinced them to stay. The Kindred "journalists" want a story, now a story they get. The so called Rowan Ring turns out to be a weapon against Kindred, made by Kindred, so the women say. Dr. Valdemar may be skeptic, but Micheal Redill and Drake David Drummond really have to think about what to do next.

    Dark Deeds
    The Investigation team split up in two. Deputy Burns and Harpy Brown went to visit Joel Baxter’s house, where they find his brother. Joel “Billy” Baxter is a missing person, possibly because of the murderer Tracy Burns is looking for. Maybe their findings are not too fruitful yet, at least they know where to go next. The Outreach Centre.

    The other half of the team, Neil Kingsley and Chase Ankers were about to go to the police to find out more about the two license plates they discovered earlier, however, they soon realize this was a false lead. Realizing this causes them to hack TVL’s databases with lots of information. From here on they hope to find more missing persons and thus a motive for them to be missing.

    Hotel Homicide
    As Deputy Sidor Grigoriev, Dr. Robert Swift, Max Heinz and Dr. Josephine Powell follow Cheyenne Holloway to room 406, they find what is without doubt a crime scene. Blood, broken forniture and the most shocking: two piles of ash. The group must find out how Sarah LaFleur and Thomas O’Conner ended up becoming ash. Heinz uses his Blood Gifts to get information from the ash while Dr. Powell uses her knowledge to act like a blood spatter analyst. Deputy Grigoriev searches the apartment and comes to know there might be a safe with something useful in it. They cannot not yet open the safe, but they find the lamp that killed O’Conner, and hey, has it been held by a well manicured hand?

    Late Night Shopping
    The plans of Chris Wooding and James Calloway to have their own library are now getting serious. After some research the coterie mates find several books they want to have. The internet helps them further by even providing the names of several good stores. After a call they find themselves heading to the Sunlight of the Spirit… there, there is Papa Zafai. Who had expected the Crone Lord to still be in the Domain? After a chat and even a short negotiation with Zafai and Melvin the other salesman, Chris Wooding and James Calloway now make their way downstairs, where the not so vanilla things are kept.


    Clan or Covenant Meetings

    Invictus Guild Meeting
    During the First Meeting of the Guild of Combat Arts several things are discussed, such as Meister Conner Greyson had hoped. Seneschal Ariana Donovan brought up the point of the protocol for petitioning for training and acceptance into the guild, Harpy Alice Brown wondered if the titles Mentor and Student would have an official use, and later she made it known to be capable of trading arms.
    For those of the First Estate among us, it may be said that Alder Judex Twist was late in a non fashionable way, but Meister Greyson by no means disrepected her. Also, Deputy Ricardo Rodriguez was corrected by Prince Asa Clarke in order to rectify the Deputy’s personal failing. Eventually, everything came to a good end such as is expected of well mannered Kindred.

    Sincerely,
    Harpy Alice Brown

    To The Society of Sacramento:

    Official Court - July 1st, 2012
    It was July the 1st, of course the whole Domain had soon heard of this. An Execution at the Old Railway Yard in a preserved Mill Factory made to look like a courtyard. It is not often that we witness so many mixed feelings to such an extent, tension, happiness, festive dresses, black sorrowful clothes, excitement… fear.
    The evening will have it all after Deputy Rodriguez has welcomed all Kindred. The almost usual faux pas is soon there when Allison Black pays not enough respect to his Majesty and looks a bit too human for a vampire Official Court. And only moments after the Reeve tells Deputies Grigoriev and Connery that tonight is a night to be extra vigilant, the latest new arrival nearly bursts through the soon to be closed door. Yes, Abigail Pendleston knows how to make an entrance.

    Yet nothing is as exciting as the execution itself. Some might be surprised that Heathcliff Staley would die by fire, and not at the hand of Archon Twist who did pour the right liquid over him. No, it is Prince Asa Clarke himself who condemns the former Bishop and Seneschal to Final Death by the fire from his silver zippo.
    Then, real hell breaks loose…

    Around the Requiem
    Like real gentlemen, Conner Greyson, Sidor Grigoriev and Neil Kingsley meet at a coffee shop. By the time Catherine Keyes arrived the conversation had become one on the human nature. Some other Kindred had a great time at Club Ember indulging in a less philosophical conversation. Deputies Rodriguez and Grigoriev were there, just as James Calloway, Allison Black and Chris Wooding who all talked about a tipping cultures among several topics. Now they are taking shots, to the Prince! You could wish you were there, just as the meeting at the gym is about to become very exciting. Martha Villiers gathered several Kindred who had a moment to be amazed by the many martial arts Dillon Connery familiarized himself with, then after an introduction round everyone could see the first lesson.

    Among one of the Domain’s darkest corners exciting stories were exchanged between Josephine Powell, Deputy Tracy Burns and Deputy Grigoriev. Stories like an evening at the Alpha Phi will become a story to be told. Asa Clarke found himself surrounded by more than half dressed women, Bianca Maria Sable, Allison Black, Alice Brown. In a pillow fight! James Calloway eagerly joined them with his most colorful underpants, while sadly, Catherine Keyes lost her interest and left.

    Dîner Italien
    Things are soon getting more confusing at the restaurant. After the explosion it seems as if no money is stolen from the safe, it does not really look like it that the so called assassins have tried to kill Tony Marroletti. What they did was stealing some letters and heirlooms, a parcel that Tony had sworn not to open, and a strongbox. The Kindred group consisting of Ricardo Rodriguez, Zach Griffiths, Daniella Sage and Catherine Keyes are sure to help Tony to get it all back. The man may otherwise never be relieved from his oath.

    Chasing the Rowan Ring
    After Mr. Archer and Mr. Drummond left him, Michael Redfill could not do anything else but to look for assistance first. A man called Ephrayim now has the Rowan Ring, mother and daughter Helen and Bo are still following him. At a night they should all meet, a man is to be made vampire, and they have to keep an eye on Dr Valdemar who is about to let the world know about the existence of Kindred. Momentarily regrouping in Seneschal Donovan's office, Dr. Redfill is now accompanied by three Daeva women named Allison Black, Velma Star and Bianca Sable.

    During their short visit to Joel Baxter’s brother, Deputy Burns and Harpy Brown found out a few more things. They got a list of names of people that knew Joel Baxter, and the Harpy made an appointment with the woman who last saw Joel, however, we may wonder if that meeting will be necessary? Since more interesting things are happening at the Elk Grove. After discovering the false lead Chase Ankers and Neil Kinsley found out where most of the TVL vans are parked: Elk Grove. The four Kindred met there, and now Richard the Guard is entranced out of the way, the murderer’s van cannot be far.

    Hotel Homicide
    With more use of the spirit’s touch Max Heinz is able to find useful information. They probably have the right code to open the safe, although they of course need to be sure it is not a trap. One more touch, and the safe can make Mr. Heinz sure that LaFleur killed O’Conner before getting killed herself. Curious to what was so important that needed to be hidden, the Kindred continue their investigation. Heinz sees more, and Dr Powell, she finds the book called Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Handwritten. With several pages torn out of the center. That is rather strange, isn’t it.

    Squatting at Camp Bow Wow
    Reeve Conner Greyson has come to know that Madison Carothers is squatting in the Domain of Florin, now he has gathered Charles Black and Blake Reese. They went to a location at the Elk Grove called Camp Bow Wow. The Reeve used obfuscate to go unnoticed and enter the building while Mr. Reese and Mr. Black try to get information from the now named “Joe Average” who works at the camp. Conner Greyson sniffed around a bit, but soon hears the dogs barking at him. Except that the barking comes from Miss Carothers herself.

    Late Night Shopping
    So Chris Wooding and James Calloway went downstairs where interesting things were shown to them. Mr. Wooding was happy to buy several items for him as Acolyte and the coterie mates together bought some books. What they could never expect though, is that several things in the shop are missing. A lot of plants and herbs, often with lethal effects, are missing. Who could want such a big amount of poisonous products? Mr. Wooding calls upon the powers of the Circle of the Crone to ask the Goddess for help. In a ritual the face of “the other salesman” Melvin appears. What? The day clerk seemed so disorganized, but could he know more? The two decide it is time for a visit.


    Clan or Covenant Meetings

    Haunt Meeting
    Beside a very short talk about etiquette and the fact that this is a clan within an Invictus Domain, not much was said during the Nosferatu meeting.

    Circle of the Crone Summer Solstice
    Sacramento's four Acolytes gathered for the Summer Solstice. The rite of mourning, they could think of all those who died or went away, of all that was lost. After the offerings for the Goddess it was time for some political matters. Former Vala Wooding discussed the position of Hierophant, and David Silver soon agreed he should be it. Silver is now the Iamedai of the Woven Circle. Dr. Robert Swift was there and the three welcomed James Calloway to the Circle.

    Sincerely,
    Harpy Alice Brown

    This is intended to serve as information on the Domain and an OOC place to look at "what's going on" in the venue.


    To The Society of Sacramento:

    Official Court - July 1st, 2012
    Mere seconds after Heathcliff Staley turned to ash some of the Beasts of Sacramento did not manage to stay calm, fear took control over them, the urge to flee was incredible. Kindred Frenzy, and on an unimportant note, more than the half of them were Daeva. Maybe they are truly not so good at refraining from their deepest feelings.

    Nonetheless, Abby Pendleston and Ciara Maskelyne are just as frightening. Oh, and Dog was so nice to set some things straight with Chris Wooding, after making him frenzy he also beat the Mekhet into torpor. Later Miss Pendleston also found herself torpid, while some Lords took care that other Kindred were put into a more peaceful sleep. Altogether, no one managed to escape the Mill’s Venue at the Old Railway Yard, all frenzied Kindred are taken care of. And as Prince Asa Clarke leaves with Ciara Maskenlyne in his arms, Official Court is concluded. An execution that will not be forgotten soon…

    Around the Requiem
    Quite the opposite of the violence at Court was an evening at International World Peace Rose Garden. Several Kindred had a chance to meet each other, talk about roses, but also learn about each other. Moments later stars and horoscopes are mentioned. But, Bianca Sable does not stay with Miss Burns, Misters Reese, Kinsley and Silver the whole night. Some hours later she can be found at a bar in Rosemont-Mather. One of the Domains where Deputy Ricardo Rodriguez just finished his patrol. And soon the two are also accompanied by Martha Villiers, James Calloway, Callum McCann and Dillon Connery. The latter two talk about Wing Chun for some time. It seems they are quite into the martial arts, just as we could see at their exciting lessons at the Fitness Centre.

    A more tranquil atmosphere can found at Barnes and Noble, where Conner Greyson met Bianca Sable, Josephine Powell and Ashley Cohen. Well, tranquil, aside from the occasional faux-pas that is. Ashley Cohen has quite some explaining to do, she is the newest Carthian in town. A thing she is eager to share with others, as became clear at the informal Carthian meeting. The bottled blood was still fresh, now the other Kindred want to see what else Miss Cohen has to offer.

    Aid of the Domain

    Italian Job
    Catherine Keyes, Daniella Sage, Zach Griffiths and Ricardo Rodriguez drive over to the Rio Linda Airport in their attempt to save Tony Marroletti, who is tracking his stolen package. While the group waits for Mr. Griffiths' retainer to arrive with supplies, they try to decide how to remain unseen. The Masquerade may not get in danger. It appears that Marroletti's package, a box, is in a large hanger. After the usual squabbling that happens in large groups, the show is about to start!

    Dark Deeds
    Oh yes, Deputy Burns’ team finds the right van soon, but that is hardly the most interesting thing to find out. Alice Brown tries to get some information from Richard the Guard while Tracy Burns and Neil Kinsley investigate the van… and Richard’s mind. There seems to be a certain Dr. Maxwell involved, and the name Cannon shows up. The team is getting closer and closer. They beat the guard down in several seconds and call Chase Ankers to move closer with his car. Time to go somewhere else and further question this Richard the Guard. And which place is better for questioning than Club Ember?

    Chasing the Rowan Ring
    Before the big – let us publicly embrace someone – meeting starts, some Kindred of the Domain gather. Michael Redfill was originally in the team, but now he has left as well. Bianca Sable, Velma Star and Allison Black are new on the job. Because of the seriousness of their mission, the three Daeva are accompanied by Deputy Dillon Connery. Doctor Valdemar's huge truck and the Bronco are already present. This promises to become exciting soon…

    Hotel Homicide
    Aside from the piles of ash, the handwritten Grimm’s Fairy Tales is now maybe the most interesting item in the hotel room. Max Heinz, Robert Swift, and Josephine Powell try to find out more. Auspex images show that Sarah LaFleur was the one that wrote the book, and that she placed a metal object inside the book. When the Kindred conclude they have found all information possible Deputy Sidor Grigoriev decided that the group should leave after cleaning up the hotel room. Time to meet the Reeve.

    Squatting at Camp Bow Wow
    The moment Miss Carothers starts barking Reeve Conner Greyson decides that is not good, and he stabs her. She calls for help to her nearby dogs, and their barking becomes louder and louder. Blake Reese and Charles Black stop getting information from ‘Average Joe’ and actually want to get inside to check up on their Reeve. Too bad that Joe is not a man to be dominated, he steps back and shuts the door. Now the two Lords have to find another way inside. Because inside is where the Reeve is fighting with a Gangrel and some dogs… outside, the Lords can only find Shih Tzu’s.

    Finding Francesco
    All Gangrel of Sacramento once decided that they should find Francesco Giovanni - we all remember him for his great deeds and genius plans. Of all those Gangrel one woman actually made a plan. Emma French. She once sparred with Francesco at the gym, to that same gym she decides to go. At an alley close to the gym Miss French soon blends in with the "audaciously" dressed girls, who are occasionally picked up by men… only to return some time later. Three times guessing what's happening there. After a while waiting Emma French manages to get a man, who came from the gym, talking, and he seems to know quite some things about the dirty business around here, maybe he has the next lead to bring Emma closer to finding Francesco?

    Late Night Shopping
    Under the Goddess’ guidance Chris Wooding and James Calloway made their way over to Melvin's house. A bit surprising perhaps, but the man was still awake. Coffee does indeed wonders. Soon the three started talking about the herbs that are missing in Melvin’s shop. Again the name Dalton falls, Melvin’s twin brother. But more words cannot come from Melvin’s mouth, he suddenly dies. It is probably the poisonous effects from one of the herbs that did the job. The Kindred are shocked at this, but soon something else draws their attention. The sound of an open window where broken glass was found and someone previously escaped out of the house. They are too late to catch him, but it is obvious he came from the basement. A place where they later find lots of ruined books, someone has been searching for a thing very thoroughly. But who? And why?

    Sincerely,
    Harpy Alice Brown

    To all Newly Acknowledged Kindred within the Metropolitan Domain of Sacramento

    From: Herald Villiers, Herald of His Grace, Alder Duke Clarke, Prince of the Domain

    Subject: Operation SAFARI I


    MISSION

    * Primary Mission Objective and Intention: to ensure the harmony and safety of the Zone.

    * Secondary Mission Intention: To conduct an orientation and acquaint for the recently Acknowledged arrivals to the Metropolitan Domain of Sacramento.

    * Details of Tertiary Intentions and Scheme of Project:-

    a) The intention is an informal opportunity to visit the principle locations; explore and delimit the boundaries of each of the Regency Zones within the Domain and allow an opportunity for those more recently arrived in the Domain to meet those with more experience of the Domain.

    b) To see other sites of potential interest, use and amusement in the Domain.

    TIME AND DATE OF DEPARTURE: 20:00 SEPT 30, 2012

    ROUTE AND PROGRAM OF TRAVEL


    1) From the Point of Departure at the AVALON nightclub we advance to the BALLO DELLA NOTTE theatre, the LILY nightclub then proceed towards the WRITTEN IN WATER bookshop on J STREET. At this moment we shall take a break to browse the contents of the bookshop.

    2) Then continue to the historic site of SUTTER'S FORT before continuing to MERCY GENERAL HOSPITAL, SACRAMENTO STATE UNIVERSITY, the ILLUMINATIONS GALLERY, the EMBER nightclub, the ASYLUM nightclub, FILLIARD GOLDMAN MUSEUM and the FOUR SEASONS HOTEL.

    3) We shall then continue to the historic GOVERNOR'S MANSION.

    4) At the MANSION we shall disembark from the vehicles and take a moment to explore the location. Here we shall also exchange passengers. Those more established in the Domain shall swap vehicles to encourage as wide as possible meeting of fellows.

    5) We return to the vehicles and then continue in convoy to visit the outer boundary of the Prince's RACK before continuing along to the outer boundaries of each of the Regency Zones and also identifying the RACK within each of the Regency Zones.

    6) Continue to the '24 HOURS FITNESS CENTRE' gymnasium before returning in convoy to the AVALON where we shall have an opportunity to relax and engage in some musical entertainment and dancing.

    POSSIBLE ENEMY FORCES

    It is not intended that we shall encounter any hostile opposition.

    However, it must be understood that areas of the Domain have a reputation for a degree of crime and gang related violence. Whilst the gangs seem to present a threat and lethal danger primarily to other gangsters (rarely troubling to interfere with those unconnected to their criminal sub-culture) we must be attentive to the potential threat posed by errant gangsters and those wishing, for a variety of reasons, to confront those they perceive as an easy target for their criminal intentions and purposes.

    Also, during the course of the orientation we may find value in being observant for gang signs, graffiti and any other insignia emblazoned on buildings or other permanent structures which help identify the territorial limits of the gangs.

    Under these conditions, we may use the folly of their actions for our advancement of knowledge. We may seek to learn the following:

    What are their intentions? We must ask ourselves: is this expectation of gang culture true? Are the gangs aggressive and predatory?

    Composition: How many gangsters can we identify? How, if at all, are they organized? Do they exhibit a cohesive command structure? What are their capabilities and armaments? What livery do they exhibit? How do they identify themselves? Are the gangs composed of a particular ethnic group? If not, can we determine why not? What customs and culture can we observe in the gangs? What patois and slang are they using? Is any of the slang reminiscent, or derived from, any we may be familiar of our own? Are they armed? If so: with what weapons? Do they seem individually, or as a unit, competent?

    Where are the enemy? Are there obvious gang territorial markings emblazoned anywhere? If so: where are they and can we identify the gangs? We must take copies of them for future reference and try to delimit the boundary of each gang territory if possible.

    Can we draw an idea of their probable course of action for future friendly or hostile contact?

    RULES of ENGAGEMENT and CONTACT CONTINGENCIES

    In the event that we do encounter the threat of physical aggression, we must observe two principles:

    Main principle: Obey and Preserve the Traditions

    Secondary Principle: We must attempt to avoid drawing the attention of law enforcement in the event of combat with a foe. Nevertheless, we shall be pragmatic about self defence. Firearms, lethal force and overt use of the Powers of the Blood must be used strictly only as a last resort. Application of retaliatory force must be proportionate to the threat.

    ACTION ON ENEMY CONTACT

    1. To subdue and suppress the threat with minimal signature and reducing threat to life.

    2. To capture any hostile or unidentified Cousins for later questioning,

    3. or, if not immediately hostile: invite them to explain their presence.

    RALLY POINTS


    In the event we have to break contact with an adversary, or each other, our primary rallying point shall be the initial rendezvous point at the junction of CAPITAL AVE and 16th STREET – close to the AVALON. Secondary and emergency transportation will be in held in reserve at this location.

    If that cannot be reached safely, or defended, our secondary rallying point shall be main entrance to the CENTRAL PUBLIC LIBRARY: 828 I STREET.

    EQUIPMENT

    1) There are no specific equipment requirements. Each vehicle will carry survival and emergency equipment stowed aboard for easy access.

    2) The dress code is 'smart casual' - anything suitable for general urban environments

    3) There will be no requirement to wear or carry weapons in the vehicles as the vehicles will be acting as temporary Elysian Fields for the duration of Op SAFARI I. However, those who wish to, as a precautionary measure for defence against external attack, may bring weapons and other equipment. These weapons will be stowed in the vehicles until required.

    TRANSPORTATION

    Each vehicle is of the same model and mark of vehicle. Each has seating for five passengers and cargo capacity for three large luggage cases. Each vehicle has a maximum speed of 125mph.

    Primary vehicles

    Three Cadillac ESCALADE SUV's

    * Driver of 2GAT123 - (perhaps Dillon)

    Reserve transport at Fall Back location

    Three Cadillac ESCALADE SUV's

    California licence plate codes: 2SAM124, 2SAM125 and 2SAM126

    To The Society of Sacramento:

    Eternal Court XXII
    The most recent Eternal Court seems to become a peaceful night so far. At the center of Sacramento's power, monks can meet pagans, free thinkers stand strong between the great amount of Kindred of Quality. As usual, most Kindred of the Royal Court are present, His Majesty even had the great plan to dance. So soon music was heard in the Elysian Undergrounds.


    Around the Requiem
    As always, the social predators were everywhere around town. This month the champagne tastes best at the Delta King, as Velma Star, among many others, can confirm. Naturally, this is not the only activity around Sacramento’s waters. Although the beach is still quiet, a nearby bar is bubbling with enthusiasm, if a bit tense here and there, everyone seems to have a good time. Equally busy but surely with a more tranquil atmosphere did the Domain’s doctors, Dragons and otherwise wisest gather at the Sacramento University.

    However, not everyone spends their evening at the same place. Some prefer to walk around shopping as long as their undead legs can carry them, far more noticeable are Herald Villiers’ plans for a safari though. Many, yes many vampires will be shown around the City and its nightlife. The Cadillac Escalade’s are ready, soon the grand operation will begin!

    Aid of the Domain

    Italian Job
    We all know, preparation if half the battle. So after discussing the situation at hand, the kindred helping Toni Maroletti are divided in two teams to find the Italian’s box. Bailiff Sage and Zach Griffiths go to the front entrance while Deputy Rodriguez and Catherine Keyes go around the hanger to see if there is a back entrance. With the right lock-picking the front team can quickly make their way inside the hanger. They hear parts of a conversation, and soon see whose having it… Gabriel DAnglo and an unfamiliar German man! After the Deputy and Miss Keyes burst through the backdoor straight into a trap, the tension in the hanger is very high.

    Dark Deeds
    At Club Ember it turns out that Richard the Guard has a great deal of valuable information. Long ago Deputy Burns' investigation started because beheaded mortals were found, now they probably know why. A certain Dr. Maxwell seems to take Artificial Intelligence very literally, the doctor attempts to download brains into a super computer. Among the investors for this project is Dr. Weaver, it seems like more people take this very serious. Enough reason for Mr Kingsley, Mr Ankers, Harpy Brown and the Deputy to bring a visit to Maxwell’s lab. Because those deeds are truly dark, no?

    Chasing the Rowan Ring
    In order to get to the place where they want to be, the building on a homestead where all mortals had gathered, the Kindred need to cross a cornfield. The three Daeva women decide to play innocent and use their charms, while Dillon splits to find another route. Fake names are made and the ladies sure know how to keep having a good time, yet soon they hear the strange first noises. More people are in the cornfields, the question is if they are good or bad.

    Homicidal Heads-up
    Although Reeve Greyson must leave early, Seneschal Donovan and Herald Villiers are fully pledged to listening to Deputy Grigoriev, Maximilian Heinz, Josephine Powell and Robert Swift. They make sure to tell every detail, soon realizing the killer must have taken LaFleur’s cell phone. Some realize they might be able to track it down. But leaving that for later, the Deputy takes another look at the journal they found. He finds a coded message: 'This To Bares Pain'. All present Kindred start thinking about this, they continue searching for more answers to their endless questions. Is… is the book linked to Tobias Straiphen? Yes, it is good to inform our current Prince about that.

    Squatting at Camp Bow Wow
    Fortunately after a stab here and a slash there, the group of Kindred manage to meet each other. Unfortunately for our courageous Reeve Greyson, he cannot count on everyone as he would on his Deputies. The two Lords take off with the whole swarm of dogs hunting down their cowardly assess. Using the distractions to his advantage, the Priscus of Shadows hides himself from sight and follows Madison, the squatter that plans to recover herself by having a taste of Joe. Oh oh, she should not have underestimated Conner Greyson and all that he is.

    Finding Francesco
    In order to get more information out of "the guy" Jake, Emma French partially drops her act. Jake seems to believe her and tells more, he speaks of Mortimer, a.k.a. Captain Weirdo, and he warns Emma that something's just… off. Of course the Gangrel is not frightened, no, she decides to go straight to her target: The boiler room in the gym's basement that Francesco used to rent.

    Late Night Shopping
    James Calloway and Chris Wooding have hardly discovered one chaotic scene, or the next one is about to be expected. They try to learn something from the books at Melvin’s house, until they get a call from Zafai. Something is amiss at his store. As it seems a more urgent matter, the Eolas coterie goes back to the store… encountering another location in complete disarray. A mysterious threat is really eager to find something. Could that 'something' be one of the books Zafai yet had to research?

    Many Fall, Some Rise
    It does not happen often to someone, and no one can really wish for it to happen, but after being beaten into torpor Abigail Pendleston awakened in the Necropolis. Dirge was there, the blind beauty directed Miss Pendleston to Arnold Culler. After asking several questions to the neonate Haunt, the Master of the Necropolis sent her on an errand. And she better do it right this time.

    All Kinds of Arts
    Following rumors about vampire skeletons, Callum McCann and Aileen McFarlane arrive at a museum. They split up to both do what they do best. Mr McCann directs his Majestic charms at the right people while Miss McFarlane hides herself from sight and eavesdrops where possible. As soon as she notices that Mr McCann is brought to a storage room she follows him. There, they confront a fellow Kindred… and an opened Sarcophagus. Of course, this beautiful but trespassing ‘fellow Kindred’ does not appreciate the presence of two other Beasts. Within seconds combat arts turn out to be of great importance.

    Sincerely,
    Harpy Alice Brown
