Julius is out when Lottie and Frankie return to the Manhattan house. Lottie went to shower off the Tzimice red mist ickyness she had to walk through in Harlem, while Frankie looked out through a window and saw Julius talking to a Gangrel, who wanted him to ally himself in regards to the Gangrel primogency.
Everyone in the same place, we started catching up with what everyone had been up to. Julius had been researching Egyptian mythology. The primordial creator goddess was not a part of the cousins' dream, apparently. Neither cousins nor players have any clue what this means.
A surprise Jeanine appeared! Lottie and Frankie went to hide in another room to avoid her. She invited Julius to tomorrow night's Elysium. With Lottie's Auspex, she saw the bond between Frankie and his sire was very thin and fragile, but in fairness she hasn't been around for about a week, and the cousins have only been vampires for about a week and a half. And she didn't even enquire about her childe either. Bitch.
Victor, the Setite in the safehouse in Harlem, came by to say Ellie has Valenti and is ready to hand him over. He wasn't looking in a great shape. Not that the cousins really care.
(a player said a couple of hours pre-game she’d listen to some New Yorkers to prep)
“So which New Yorkers did you go for in the end?”
“The obvious one?” (her character's faceclaim)
“Oh, yeah, that was silly of me.”
“Always room for one more in crazy people trying to deal with things.”
“Would you consider Sabbat?”
“Last year? No. This year? Yeah, sure.”
“Are the Sabbat holding recruitment drives? I feel I need to check.”
“My bunnies are fine and mostly not eating my stuff.”
(Julius expresses being annoyed)
Julius: “Not with you, obviously.”
Frankie's player: “First and only time he’s ever said that.”
“She went a whole night without seeing Julius. This is how we keep track of time.”
“This is how LOTTIE keeps track of time.”
GM: “A car pulls up outside.”
Player: “Please be Val, please be Val.”
GM: “It’s Jeanine.”
Player: “Well, FUCK.”
(there’s a thin, red bond between Jeanine and Frankie, looking like it might snap)
GM: “And with that, Frankie feels sad.”
Frankie’s player: “No, he doesn’t!”
GM: “A car pulls up outside.”
Player: “Please be Val, please be Val.”
GM: “Val staggers out.”
Player: “YES!”
Val: “I was persuasive, not PeRsUaSiVe.”
Lottie: “I trust him with my life. Well, sorta.”
Val: “I gotta ask, what’s a Caitiff?”
Julius: “I’ll tell you later.”
Frankie: “… Or you could tell us now?”
“Malkavians sire a lot of Caitiffs. We have a habit of forgetting we’ve sired people.”
Lottie: “Do you think I should perhaps go on put some clothes on, baby?”
“She could do the entire session naked. She’s wearing a towel, it’s fine.”
Val: “Ah geez, get a room!”
Frankie: “Took the words right out of my mouth, cuz.”
Lottie: “We ARE getting a room!”
Julius: “This is MY house! YOU get a room!”
“Which knee are you not too fond of?”
To be continued!
