@rocketrobie2 Good post, friend. As it seems clear she and Steele have an existing relationship, go ahead and add Sarah's physical description to your CS in the CS section.

Heads up, everyone! Our friend Dark is going to be busy for a while, so for now we're going to go forward without him. He'll be able to join us later, but I'm not going to hold up the story, as there really aren't that many of us in it.

@Dark Cloud Will have his spot reserved, and should be able to join the action fairly directly as soon as he's back.

Fingers crossed I should have a post up in a few hours. Been plagued with migraines for the last few days and found it difficult to sit down and focus for long.

Well I got it out. Did not realise it was that long until I posted though, whoops.

Very nice posts, folks!

I'll be posting with the full letter this weekend. Looking forward to everyone's reactions.

Alright, everyone has their marching orders! Let's see how well everyone recognizes the subtle hints.

For this one, we're looking at an Intelligence plus Politics roll.

2, 2, 5 Welp, unsurprisingly, Jesse doesn't catch the subtleties at All.

2,3,7. Not too bad, partial success. I'll probably get a reply up either today or tomorrow all being well.

@Limey She definitely gets the feeling that this letter has a deeper meaning, but she's too inexperienced as a kindred to fully understand the implications.

10 10 8

Wowza, didn't see that coming!

@rocketrobie2That is 5 success... On a messy critical.

Well, good news first: Steel knows Exactly what that note means. He knows, because his beast knows.

Bad news: The beast is furious. Steel is going to fly into a rage, his claws are going to come out, and he's going to use them to destroy his guitar.

Worse news: One of his band members-a human-had been following him, for a practice session. They see him go beast mode. Sara isn't far enough away to not see it, too. As the neck of the guitar breaks in his hand, the neck of his band mate breaks in hers. By the time he finishes destroying the entire instrument, Sara is gone, and the band mate is dead on the floor.

@rocketrobie2 Please mark one stain on your CS in the CS section.

However, Steel knows some stuff; For one, there's a new Prince in town. For two, he's a Ventrue. This note is him marking his territory, and stating that life in the state is about to change.
Moreover, though, he got to you through Sara. The new Prince was in the same room with her, and gave her an order that she followed. Steel knows that some vampires have the power to control the minds of others. If Sara brought Steel that envelope, she was probably under someone else's control when it happened. There's no reason the Prince should know who Steel is, unless Sara told them. If Sara told them about you, she likely told them Everything.
In other words: The Prince knows your secrets. The Prince very likely knows All your secrets, and he's just invited you for an audience.

@Necroes Which bandmate is it? Rose or Jared? Also where did he get followed to? Steel was still at the bar when he cracked the envelope open

@rocketrobie2 I'll leave that up to you. You know them better; whichever one would be more likely to go practice with him after a bad show.

@Necroes Would Steel know that Sarah offed his band member?

@rocketrobie2 Oh, very much so. He can still see and hear while he's going berserk. The beast is just in charge, so he can't do anything to stop it.

However, he'd also know that Sarah is fast enough to be in her car and out of there within seconds. She's long gone.

@Limey Good post. Important note: Vampires don't deal in fire. The presence of it can trigger a fear frenzy. For a Brujah, that's especially a risk.

Edwin would know this. Please correct that. Otherwise, though, good post.

Hey, people! It's nice to meet you all. I'll be playing Merveille, who's a phone psychic in the vein of Ms. Cleo.

@flopflop122 Welcome to the game! Go ahead and mark that she has 1 hunger in her CS in the CS section.

I love the idea of phone psychic, awesome!

Here's my roll for Intelligence + Politics:

9, 6, 3 ,2

So, two successes? Merveille recognizes something's amiss.

@Necroes Gotcha, I'll fix that later when I actually wake up proper.

@flopflop122 Please don't roll unless I ask for it, and I will tell you the outcome of any rolls you make.

She recognizes that the seal means this note is from a ventrue. Clearly, this is him declaring himself as the new prince. He's making a power play by showing he knows what she is and how to find her.

Ah, okay! So sorry about that - I just saw you were asking the others about it, and so I wasn't sure considering the receipt of the letter. Won't do that again!
