You should be safe. Feeding is prohibited in Elysium.

Valentine just requested anything soft and with a dark touch.

That is so going to clash with Sabrina's not having a concept of the word 'no' when it applies to her.

I got your email Reaper. I hope to be able to respond soon.

Just so everyone knows, all further emails to me should go to:

mikekris@hiwaay.net

That is my home account. I hate to use the work account for personal use too much.

Don't hesitate to email me with anything you feel is relevent.

Put "Vampire" or something similare in the subject line so that you don't get erased and blocked along with all the spam I get.

They are setting up now. They can play whenever they are ready.

I edited the info about Vych and Carrick's haven. They will reside above the club until they become more familar with NY.
Where is your haven? What is it like?

Carrick had contacted Thomas Arturo months before he and Vych left for NYC. Carrick wanted Thomas to build or find the right place for a night club that would also be able to support a secured upstairs apartment. The club is open until dawn daily, and sometimes Carrick and/or Vych need a place to crash.

The club has a dance floor on the main level and the second level has semi-private booth type tables with an open air middle looking down on the dance floor. There are 2 bars (one on each floor) and the music venue changes daily. The club also hosts live concerts and local bands. There is private, secured parking located under the club for employees and special guests.

The apartment above the club on the third level is accessed via a private, somewhat hidden staircase and elevator. It has a living room with a wet bar, small dance floor, Carrick's office, 3 bedrooms with their own private bath suites, a kitchen and dining area that seats 12. The decor is elegant with all black furniture. There are old swords of various styles mounted on the burgundy and gold sueded walls around the living room with two human sized green/white marble sculptures on either side of the bar. Carrick has a fascination/obsession with ancient swords and sculpture of the human form.

Ash, since I am not very familar with the layout of NYC, please place the club/temporary haven where you feel it would be best for the story. Thanks

I would think that a really expansive mansion would work outside of the City itself if you want to take that much space. Also, I don't think there are redwoods in New York. I'd say the most expensive and popular place is in The Hamptons. Or you can buy an old glorious victorian brownstone.

The club could be anywhere, the particular popular spots would be the village or soho(more arty). I'm not sure either. Or you can get super trendy and have in one of those old warehouse districts that have been converted into know uptown lofts and hangouts.

Just remember that everything grows upward (more floors) in new york not outward (more land).

One problem:

If the club serves mortal blood, Calebros will see it as a breach of the masquerade. Something like that is way to easy to be discovered.

How is the blood obtained?

Another problem is having a gathering place for vampires that hasn't been declared Elysium. If a fight breaks out, things could get real bad real fast.

Perhaps one of your goals could be to have it declared? Controlling an Elysium is a sure way to gain status.

So I will try to think more on the lines of San Francisco then. Thanks Kit!

As far as redwoods, I know NY has some pine trees, so any needled evergreen tree would work.

Ash - for story telling, would it be better for them to live inside the city?

Thank you to everyone for their help. I've roleplayed V:tm before as well as other systems, but I have never played on line. So this is all new to me. Thanks for your patience.

edit: i edited the Haven info a few posts above^^^^
