Theo's Vampire 101 class continues, teaching Frankie about the Sabbat. After being asked why they'd have to wait until Elysium before nominating that Toreador guy to Scourge (isn't the point to get in there first, so why wait?) he's told the "wheels are already in motion" for it.
Lottie and Julius decide Aisling should be in charge of the Fetish they're making - no, not the one they seem to have about blood bonding and then having sex in torture rooms with drains in the floor. This Fetish is to do with hiding memories. They decide to leave a cryptic message in the package Frankie is supposed to pick up from Seb tomorrow, so they'll get a prompt to go back to Aisling to restore their memories. They also discuss what/how much to hide away.
When it comes to the guys in Red Hook, Val shows up to report on how his chat with the police contact went. Turns out the cops further down know the charges are bogus, but they're scared to bring it up with their superiors? Smells like mind control. Theories abound. They should, however, not go charging in there, because that sounds exactly like what they'd be expected to do - and exactly the kind of stuff Lottie said not to do. She would be so proud of her cousin!
In Queens, they start looking at brass to use for the Fetish. It has to be brass, and made in the shape of an amulet. The piece they have appear to have been a part of the steel mill explosion in Red Hook, belonging to a Japanese guy. Hopefully they can shift the bad mojo from it before making it a magic item?
Player: “Am I rolling or are you?”
GM: “Why would I roll? I get YOU to roll.”
GM: “It’s the joint territory of the three cousins and their boyfriend.”
“No, no, that’s weird and creepy.”
Player: “It’s like Brujah have never met humans? We ARE sadistic assholes. Dear sweet idealistic idiots.”
GM: “Well, there's assholes and then there's ASSHOLES!!!”
Theo: “Several centuries is a long time to spend on a single cause.”
Frankie: “Not if the cause is right.”
GM: “He might have some mind-altering of his own to do later. By which I mean skull-cracking.”
“Can I make a Devious roll?”
“Not the same thing! You don’t live in a car.”
“We don’t have sex with them!”
“In my head Frankie’s got ‘WWLD?’ written on his hand. What Would Lottie Do?”
To be continued!
