Welcome to the new plot calendar! Which isn't so much a calendar anymore given the new format. The dates have been thrown out the window and so this will now be a biweekly (or possibly soon to be monthly) plot post. The plot post will still cover the same game wide plot but in a more relaxed form while also reviewing the ongoing plot, past plot if need be, and player plot.

How will this work? Glad you asked. These posts will still include plot to be covered but without set dates or volunteer spots. This is to give more player agency and more flexibility for both the mods and the players on when things happen. Each post will have plot points to be covered for the weeks mentioned with encouragement for players to use them or step up and offer to put them into play the same as they would if it was a volunteer spot. Just comment below if there is something you want to take the lead on. There will still be a few things that will have set times to happen such as the Halloween events this post or things that will be handled by the mods such as the Anarch plot point.

There's also knew features such as the player plotting to get your own personal plots and schemes going as well as discussions section. This is to try and encourage interaction and open dialog as much as possible so that everyone feels include and like they can achieve their personal character goals or find a way to fit into the game's metaplot.

With all of that in mind, on to the plot!

It's been over two weeks since the Camarilla Elysium known as the Blue Velvet burned down. It is still unclear how the fire got started but it claimed the lives of several Kindred including the Keeper of Elysium, Anastasia Thorne. Since then the city has been quiet as if it too is mourning—or waiting to see who will be blamed for it. So far the Sheriff and Hounds have found nothing while up in his Ivory Tower the Prince has been silent since the Memorial that was held there.

There's still that pesky missing ghoul as well. The second one to go missing though only a select few Kindred outside of the Sheriff and Hounds know about it.

PLOT POINT

The second missing ghoul is found—and not by mistake this time. This time it was very much return to sender. It causes word to get out that ghouls have started to go missing and then turn back up in pieces.

Now that the Kindred of New York have been given a chance to grieve, it's time to start considering a new Elysium and Keeper. But where? And who?

The local Anarchs continue to be harassed by the 'law' which could prove to be a weak spot for all Kindred in New York if it's allowed to continue. Especially when one gives up a name.

It's Halloween. The one time of year when Kindred don't have to hide who they are and hunt the night freely. Kindred are not the only ones out hunting freely this night. Hunters much more skilled than the ones before stalk the streets of New York.

Clan Toreador throws their annual Halloween party as usual.

Each plot discussion posts that goes up, please feel free to use it to generate more plot and scenes between yourself and others. You can do that by posting with the below form under the "Player Plot" heading for others to reply to. You can include as little or as much as you want but it's a good way to keep your fellow players informed on the things you are looking for or hope to achieve.
