Lottie and Julius discuss theories with Aisling. Lottie removes Aisling's anxiety, because right now, there's a fuckload to be anxious about and she needs a clear head. Is the Prince trying to do something without the Primogen council knowing? Might it involve tunnelling under Central Park? No wonder the werewolves might be a bit miffed. Can we talk to the werewolves?
They also do need to speak to the Prince, but going in there with all their memories isn't a good plan. They need to somehow temporarily remove or edit a number of memories just in case. Fortunately, they have a Tremere at hand who knows just what to do.
Frankie's history lesson from Theo continues, and they also discuss hunting grounds and territory and so on. He also finds out about Hunters and Mages, and that there also seem to be Faeries and Ghosts. All this because he asked if there were other things beside vampires and werewolves he should know about. It's also suggested that if he comes face to face with Ekaterina, he should do nothing except to leg it.
“We just told Aisling everything and she was so ungrateful!”
Julius: “The Prince gave him to a couple of Tzimisce he knew. He’s still alive. Technically.”
Lottie: “I want you to know where this is coming from when I tell you that the Prince is crazy.”
Aisling: “You’re a Malk—ohh.”
“On the plus side, Julius doesn’t think her theory is completely crazy. On the negative side, Julius doesn’t think her theory is completely crazy.”
“Yeah, a lot of bad things happened in 2016, but SUICIDE SQUAD!”
“I know we can be difficult as players.”
“But like … in a nice way?”
Player: (rolls really well) “I think I’ve done it.”
GM: “Actually, it turns out her Humanity’s 11.”
“What’s Hawaii like this time of year?”
“Sunny.”
Aisling: “It’s too much power for the Tremere to ignore.”
Lottie: “You mean resist.”
GM: (pretending to be Lottie) “My boyfriend is the best ever at Kilgraving the living shit out of people!”
GM: “Even Harley had limits with regards to the Joker!”
“I do admire Lottie’s willingness to throw herself under just about any bus for Julius.”
Julius: “Aisling, we need a Fetish!”
Player: “Don’t you already have one of those?”
GM: “Congratulations, you’re still allowed to be a part of the Ventrue!”
Player: “Brujah!”
GM: “I’m tired, leave me alone!”
GM: “The Brujah have a lot of gifts. Being subtle is not one that immediately comes to mind.”
“He’s basically a sociopath. Not in a sexy way.”
Theo: “The Tremere might know. Ask one of them if you have trouble sleeping.”
Theo: “I assume you’re a good Catholic boy, yes?”
Frankie: “Once upon a time.”
“I suppose you could danger kink and have a shower in holy water.”
Player 1: (goes on about the socioeconomic history of Brooklyn’s neighbourhoods)
Player 2: “I’m trying to care, but I just can’t.”
