Message: <blockquote data-quote="Catulle" data-source="post: 750367" data-attributes="member: 9942">Hiya all,Okay, given that scene one's a wrap:- here's what I had in mind for the next scenes, fill in the gaps yourselves (within reason)...The time is perhaps a week and a half after the Elysium party, and all the initial action occurs on the same night (though at varying times). We'll call it Wednesday the 11th of December, 2002. It's a chill night too cold for snow and the streets of the city are eerily quiet (for NY) even considering the time of year and the midweek day. Weather forecasts indicate snows are on the way, and the first of the yearly cases of exposure-killed hoboes have started to roll in..._____________Max has heard little from Morgan in the last week, but has been introduced to the other Brujah (on the NYbN .pdf - Marlena, Katherine and archon Bell) through Elizabeth. Tonight, though, he received a strange telephone call. The man on the other end didn't give his name, but knew Max's. He said Morgan had asked him to get in touch about some work for the city's kindred, and indicated that Max should meet him in the foyer of the appartment building in five minutes. Max has gathered what posession he thought might be needed, and was just stepping out of his front door in time to run into...Caitlyn, fresh from a meal out with the Knights, who have not yet had a gig as well-paying as Mr Valentine's and diving through her appartment en route to the Montagues' for her weekly sining lesson with Sabrina. The first lesson went...(well, you tell me) and she's good for time at the moment. Last week, Jemal mentioned perhaps cutting tonight's lesson short to get out of the house for a bit and seemed to have something specific in mind. On exiting the elevator, she catches Max leaving his front door._____________Gabriel and Nikolai have at least shown willing, providing Qadir with skills he doesn't possess in his task of keeping the masquerade. Gabriel's Dominate affinity and Nikolai's investigative prowess have melded well with the sheriff's social and physical skills, and eased his task in the last few nights, to the point where a professional relationship is developing. So far, Qadir has not alluded to ambitions of becoming Prince, but keeps his own counsel much of the time when not working.The scene sees the pair waiting to meet with Qadir in a downtown diner, their usual pickup point when working with the sheriff. The place is deserted, save for the waitress, cook and a clearly homeless man taking advantage of the refill policy to stay warm for just a few hours longer._____________The Montague family wait Caitlyn to arrive in an hour for Sabrina's second singing lesson (how'd the first go?). Carrick Ashton and his protege are visiting, and a trip out to Antiquities is planned by the two elders for later that evening. They have withdrawn to Nathaniel's study for the moment to discuss their business, leaving the trio of neonates in a plush lounge where Jemal writes in a ledger, finishing a few duties for his sire, leaving Sabrina and Vychtorya to talk, though he contributes occasionally.In the intervening time, Sabrina has had the use of her blood-gifts explained to her, or rather how not to use them (on other Kindred and in 'Elysiums'). She's unsure of what an Elysium is, but Nathaniel indicated she wouldn't be going to another any time soon. Jemal has helped her feed in much the same manner as the night of the party since.Carrick took Vychtorya home, and explained the child's use of Awe on her. He indicated the breach of decorum, but alluded to Nathaniel's difficult position. The two, it would seem, are allies of a long-standing nature, and while sympathetic, Carrick has obtained some compensatory concessions (in the form of information) from the Ventrue for his charge's misbehaviour. Still, he thinks Vychtorya should be careful, or at least aware that the childe is, by blood, Brujah (with all the self-control that entails). He has asked her to set aside a suite tonight at Antiquiites for himself and Nathaniel to meet with another elder._____________I hope that gives you something to start building on; best of luck and I'll be back in touch Monday.Regards,Barry</blockquote>
