Harpys Report 25 November 2011

To the Society of Sacramento:

Elysia

Elysia in November was held in the private VIP area of Club Ember. Mainly due to issues that arose near the Avalon previously. The scene was riddled with new faces in the Domain. A mixture of new blood from most of the clans. There were brilliant conversations taking place within the walls of Ember. Could it be the scenery that sparked such a kiss amidst two women at a certain Kindred’s behest? Neonates made their way through conversations of current members of the Domain, finding out details of nights past. Some were just content to casually mingle and discuss amongst themselves.

Around the Town

A few members of the Daeva family joined in The Lily one evening^[1]. Duchess Twist began a private meeting with Lance Reyner who spoke of the Domain’s history. While not too far away Allison Black ran into Lenny Pope. The two seemed to hit it off speaking of technology and how things may have changed. All the while dancing a tango as they spoke, and quite intriguing for any onlookers gazing upon the pair. Of course, this depends on which tango pair one would refer to. There were also a few Kindred who appeared on a night prior to the convening of the Elysia. There were two neonates acknowledged by Herald Villiers and another who patiently waited while conversing with Harpy Ariana Donovan and Bailiff Daniella Sage.

Max Heinz and Dr. [[Josephine Powell] met at the Amber Hills Asylum, the hospital, to do a further investigation from the information discussed among a group not long ago^[2]. The two discussed Dr. Ith Lazarus briefly before entering the building. Max had mentioned that he was quite disturbing and a social recluse. A few moments later Chris Wooding joined them and they headed inside. Seemingly derailed as the desk guard would only let Dr. Powell in and then again when Chris pulls out a knife causing the guard to panic. More to come soon.

Meanwhile, Sidor Grigoriev, Dillon Connery and Conner Greyson headed over to the residence of Neil Coben to question the Lord^[3]. However, things are quite disheveled from the last time Ariana and Conner were there. This did not help matters as the police pulled up on a seemingly routine surveillance only to find Dillon hiding in the bushes. Again, more to come soon.

Avalon

Things get complicated at the Avalon after the bomb threat is called in. Unknown Kindred are spotted in the crowd of kine, which Dillon Connery, Daniella Sage, Jennifer Hazelton, and Castor Drake move to intercept. Believed to be the Brides that have been flying below Sacramento's radar for some time, they converge on the only Beast they can sense, while a suspiciously familiar short stack is lost within the multitude. The Brides claim that the police haven't found the bomb by their design, and that there is another hidden nearby. A signal, and some speedy texting later, Martha Villiers, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Jonathan Mclean bail out of the van down the street, just in time for Namey McName to explode. Panic ensues, and the Gangrel Priscus apparently abandons his allies to leave with the Brides. Regrouping at the Ridge Motel, Reeve ]]Conner Greyson]] informs everyone that he has planted a spy within the enemy. While Jennifer Hazelton smashes through the city’s virtual security<?> on her computer, gathering intel, Deputy Sidor Grigoriev is dispatched with a team of volunteers to the believed base of the Brides: an old firehouse on Vincent Street. At said firehouse, Connery is gathering intel the old fashioned way. Stay tuned..

Regents

Regent Erika Brady put out a request for assistance^[4]. Lance Rayner, Ricardo Rodriguez, Jennifer Hazelton, Alice Brown and Daniella Sage were among those who responded. They met at the library where Dr. Brady told them about a helmet, that holds significance as a artifact of the Ordo Dracul, that would be temporarily kept at a bank. The regent requested that the group break into the bank and and retrieve. They devised a plan which focused on their strengths of those involved to infiltrate the bank and retrieve the item.

Regent Roxie Hart requested demanded assistance to find those responsible for killing her herd and kidnapping the others. Adam York, Castor Drake, Aodh Seanáin, Susan Vera and Joseph Hartman all paid a visit to the Seven Stars Motel where they met Roxie. The Regent was blunt and impatient in relaying the information she had to the kindred present. They watched a surveillance video of what took place on the night in question and realized there was something not quite right. Upon their arrival at the location Roxie provided, they met a homeless man, who had been there on that same night.

Clan and Covenant

The Gangrel clan gathered at the California Auto Museum in Vic’s Ice Cream Parlor arranged by Priscus Connery. Those attending were Tracy Burns, Susan Vera, Laird Bathurst, Emma French, Francesco Giovanni and Robert Swift. There were two notables, Dog and Roxie who were not present at the meeting. Priscus Connery began by addressing Covenants within the city as well as a quote from Adonia de Vaca. They discussed how savage reflects on the clan, and the closeness they share with their inner beasts. Dillon also told the clan to lend their services where needed to the Domain. He stressed lend, as Dillon also forbid the teaching of their clan’s gift. The subject of Tenancy came up, and their Priscus gave them information on how to attain such a thing.

Bishop Grigoriev held mass for the Lancea Sanctum at the Moore House in the Regency of Florin. It began with confession among the participants were Castor Drake, Dillon Connery, Josephine Powell and Julianne Cross. The participants engaged in the sacrament. So far, it seems to have been received well. Mass will follow.

Sincerely, Madam Harpy Ariana Donovan
