Our dear Harpy.

Clan Brujah must regretfully withdraw it's support from Ms. Otyker, temporarily, pending a discussion among the Primogen.

It is the Clan's avowed hope that the matter can be swiftly resolved, and Ms. Otyker returned to her duties.

A strange evening

It began with the scents of the place, as it always does. Not with the ones which were there, and ought not to be, those came second, but with the ones that were not there, and which ought to have been. The imperceptible whiffs of pollen borne on the wind were the wrong sort, and were somehow unsatisfying. The scent of exhaust was wrong too, in level, and in the particulars of it's suffocating tang. Most telling were the scents of the other Cainites. Some smelled too strong, some smelled too weak, but all smelled different. None smelled like pack.

Second, as always, were the sounds. Traffic was traffic, sometime nearer, sometimes farther, but essentially the same. The sound of the flies circling last night's meal were familiar enough to most, though even those seemed somehow foreign, somehow alien. Here again, the most jarring sounds were those of the other Cainites, of the new members of the pack. The sounds of their old packs awakening had become ingrained upon them, as natural as the sounds of their own first moments, and these too were absent, replaced by the unfamiliar. The timing of their stirrings was all wrong. They began to wake too early, or their first stirrings were too late, or too loud.

With the opening of their eyes, context reasserted it's self. The warehouse where they had laid down after the rescue of their two Packmates sprang into focus, as did their memory of the road that had led them here. And slowly, the feelings of the Viniculum reasserted themselves, as their eyes passed to each Kindred present. The fog of sleep cleared from them, they began to speak. . .

For the record, my plan involved very few "Secret Meetings".

Sorry about that, guys.

Nonetheless, serious kudos are in order for Chris, John, Adriann, Tony and Jeremy. Despite long stretches of frustrating boredom (in which I am sure I wasn't alone) that was the most intense night of Vampire I've had in years. Seriously.

Damn.

Also, I think the movement that is likely to result from that night will create many opportunities to get swept up into the game. Here's to hoping.
