Works for me 
I'd like more time to interact with the other PCs anyway and develop some interesting and twisted subplots with the other PCs myself.

Just in case people were wondering what kind of music the Kindred Knights play - what they sound like - etc...Their inspiration comes from the group Evanescence which basically sums them up. dark, sort of rock, sort of gothic, sort of ballad, sort of punk. Amy Lee's singing style and voice is exactly that of Cate's. (Ironically they're the same age too)
I'm so impatient for their first album Fallen which comes out March 4th...ahh....not soon enough for me! ;p I highly recommend the group, they sound absolutely wonderful.
There's a song in there I'm dying to use for Cate but must wait for the right moment to give the words the best impact.
LOL I know you all must think I'm nutz going crazy over music and all, but its really challenging creating the illusion of music/performance in the medium of boards/words. I thought about linking to music, but I wasn't sure if it would spoil the illusion created by melding the lyrics with the scene.
Anyway enough babble for today. Ta-ta!

HOLY ... umm... $hitake mushrooms!!
Kit, I was going to email you about Evanescence and some of their song lyrics.
I heard 'em on the radio, and didn't know that was their song on the Daredevil soundtrack.
I was blown away - best rock sound in a couple years, and thought they were right up your alley.
When looking thru their lyrics, I noticed also how well-suited they were to the game.
In fact, I was going to mention how scarily perfect the lyrics to Even in Death are for Nikolai (not necessarily the music), and how appropriate Lies might be for Nathanial vis a vis his feelings for Sabrina.
oops. Now that I mentioned them, you might not want to use them - you might have noticed those already, of course...
Actually, looking at more lyrics of their's, there are quite a few that could be perceived as good for one character or another.
Delicious.
As for melding music and posts, I attempted to do the multimedia approach for The Heroes of the Worlds game, using pictures and even sound clips from the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness movies whenever I could to better illustrate Ash's lines that I posted. It's a lot of work, but I think it pays off whenever you can add another component to posts.
P.S. What was the second song that you had Caitlyn perform?
I looked for the lyrics online, but couldn't find them.
P.P.S. How is Evenescence punk?

That wasn't the song I was thinking about, but that one is nice too.
The multimedia (sound effects, music themes, pictures) approach worked really well with Cowboy Bebop game and I was going to use some of that for the Resident Evil game to provide the right spooky atmosphere. I'm using multimedia in all of my games that I DM right now, but not too much so that its a nice little addition with it does appear.
The one she was singing to Nathaniel?
"Just Perfect" by Tracy Bonham
Quite delicious indeed...and not very well known either.
Evanescence songs are a mix of all kind of things and when you check out their CD, you'll see that they have a myraid of approaches which btw I absolutely love in a group.

I got some of their older stuff (which one fan site says was only on a CD run of 100 - good thing you can find them still elsewhereKitanaVorr said:
) and was impressed with their piano-based sound, with strings and choirs thrown in on the newer stuff even more prominently.This kind of hard-to-define music reminds me of V.A.S.T. - if you haven't heard his first album, you NEED to. Vych and I are pretty sure you'd like him.
And I swear I hear influences of Dream Theater in Evenescence as well, but it's not a direct influence perhaps. (listen to Wait for Sleep and others)

Well, this is where Sabrina asks if she can be a princess. What do you think? 
Would Calebros have indulged her since no one came forward?
And why would no one come forward to be prince? Was the process difficult? I would bet there are as many would be Princes and Primogen in the room as there are Kindred, Sabrina included.

Well, he should support Nathan if he wants power. Nathan is old enough to know all the ins and outs and pull it off, and he could give Jemal a nice Cushy position if he wanted. For kindred as new as all of us are it would be best to attach to powerful people like Aisling, Nathanial, Elizabeth, Carrick, and whoever else is likely to become a primogen or the prince. If you try to grab power, those above are likely to see you as a rival, something not very likely survivable by the likes of us neonates.

absolutely, Shal.
The leading vampires in NY have been vampires for almost 150 years, some of them.
That just slightly trumps our 6 month term.
I'm curious, too, why noone came forward.
I'll bet the Harpies already have weighed and measured all contenders and have picked who they will back for the princedom...
