[QUOTE="negZero, post: 5969813, member: 6695029"] Update Bump So two sessions have came and past, and damn was it boring. Lets start it off with what I've done First Session: Go see the Sheriff, to see this job of his entails. Sat down and told me how suspects that local Anarchs are assisting the Sabbat. He wants me to go to bar he suspects is hangout for them and but I can't go inside. So far so good. This finally gives me something that will really let me flex my character. Go off get a camera just in case and start staking out the bar waiting for something to happen. And wait. And wait. And wait. Something finally happened when I decided to leave due to dawn approaching, one of Anarchs got on a bike and left! Pulled out the camera and got him on tape. So I go see the Sheriff, show him the tape and get told to go watch the bar again. But this time am suppose to call in if I see the Anarch. See the Anarch, call the number, and then get told to go home. WTF :mad: Second Session: My coterie gets vision of plot and start fighting over what to do about it. Knowing that this stuff is out of all of our specialties and pay grade, I decide go to the local friendly Tremere. Who tells me that (A) its a vision (B) go see the Tremere Primogen or seneschal for more information. He also explains to me the proper way to talk to his primogen, this must be important so I write it down. Call them asking them if they know anything about visions of plot, and arrange a meeting with them and my coterie.

Only to be interrupted when the Primogen arrives, go to a back room and Ventrue tries to explain the vision but screws up the greeting. Yep the Brujah still the only person who can talk to someone with rank and not piss them off. However the Storyteller while in character just sighs and calmly corrects him. WTF, what was the point of explaining how to talk to him if he doesn't care :mad: Some more plot happens during the night and even to the start of the next one.

Whatever, you know am just player that has complained about being bored and wanting to do stuff. I let him go off and finish that. While I am bored, Malk player is actually entertaining.
