On the other hand, I'm unlikely to post anything beyond what I do in the next few hours today, on account of having a birthday (yay!). But you guys can look after each other, right?

lol that's always good to know - but I thought it was very romantic in a rather tortured sort of way.
Happy B'Day!
And remember...moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Happy B'Day!
I used Blood of Potency. What was the result?
Just to be clear: Do I have time to try a Domination before the cop starts shooting?

Duly noted.
Ash - I'll wait 'till tomorow and then resolve the graveyard moment; some other character may interfere, after all... I fancy your chances, though.
While on the topic of combat; is it alright for me to assume that, unless stated otherwise, your character will try to evade any attacks that come their way as best they are able?
Jemal man/subterfuge vs. Vychtorya per/etiquette - 9,9,5,4,2 vs. 10,6,6,6,1,1 = 0 successes net. An inking of Jemal's attention, then (since he has to try to conceal the look).

Catulle - here's a silly question:
I don't have pen and paper on my character sheet.
Did one come with the Investigation 1 dot tool kit?
I'm thinking of having Nikolai take the piece of wood from the scene - it hits a bit too close to home for his comfort.
Does the scene look like it was already noted and/or catalogued?
How much of the scene has been disturbed, or combed thru?
Are we the first group on site, or were there cops already here that could describe that there is a piece of evidence (the scrawled-on piece of wood) missing?
And yes, if I don't post something, please assume Nikolai would be evading attacks and looking for an opportunity to interject, either physically or verbally.

I cannot think of an earthly reason why not.
And hey - feel free to loot away; I'll post more details of the scene as things become a little less fraught.
I figured the assumption of defence would be a sensible one for all concerned.

OK - back to a question about storing old blood for vampires:
It says in the book (pg 140, as Shalimar referenced) that old blood is not as satisfying as fresh blood.
The only other thing it says (about non-elder blood) is that many vampires refuse to drink old blood.
Catulle - what is "many"?
What I'm getting at, is that if you see our vampire world as a world where vampires drink old blood, than I would think that significantly effects the entire community, and even profoundly impacts their society.
For example, there would be a cottage industry in blood banking.
There would be 100 times more emphasis placed on bottling blood than there is currently on bottling wine IRL.
There would be entire harvests, and probably another industry that finds, stores, and preserves just the best vitae, collected from either unwilling humans who happened to have tasty blood, kept captive ad used as a blood battery, or there would be herds considting of Ghouls who have tasty blood.
I don't remember ever reading about these kinds of necessary (IMO), logical aspects of vampire society existing, which all stem from the ability to store old blood for mainstream vampire use.
Thoughts?

Blood banking is mentioned in Gilded Cage. My take on it is, while most vampires wouldn't drink old blood if given a choice between it and new blood, ALL vampires like to know that they have something in case of emergency.
Blood banking is indeed important to kindred. In fact, Gabriel has interests and contacts in that particular sphere of influence. While most kindred wouldn't normally touch the stuff, they'll happily spend a great deal of cash or offer some considerable favors if they are starving. I bag of blood is usually looked at sort of a first aid kit. Normally you have no use for it, but if you need it, you'll be thankful you have it.
