SchreckNET

[HOUNDS]

I know that we've been able to find little ourselves from the remains of the Blue Velvet to suggest what, or rather who, is responsible for the fire. However, I think we can all agree to the fact of kine authorities after a lengthy investigation ruling it out as just a gas leak is bullshit.

Has anyone been able to come up with anything else?

And any word on our missing ghoul? This one seems to be taking longer to turn up.

[ARIEL]

There's a package with a couple of things in it on the kitchen counter.

Seems it's my fate in the city to find the lost ones and make sure they make it back home

I was investigating the fire two nights after and a kitten came bawling out of the alley at me. I was surprised how friendly it was towards Kindred. I can only assume it belonged to Anastasia.

I have no problems keeping it, I rather like cats. But I wanted make certain someone else wasn't more inclined to do so given the nature of the recent tragedy.

For those who will need to unwind after the memorial being held at the Ivory Tower tomorrow night or plan on skipping it altogether since it's being turned into a court affair, Micah is opening up his place for the night so that we can hold our own wake and celebrate the unlife of Anastasia and the others that were lost.

[RHYS]

I heard that you did well handling everything. Maybe there's hope for you after all, padawan.

[MAB]

Apologies for not reaching out sooner my dear but thank you for the extra assistance in holding up the barrier.

Fellow Kindred,

It is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement about the loss of Elysium, also known as the Blue Velvet, and its keeper—the lovely Anastasia Thorne. On the last night of September 30, the Blue Velvet went up in flames in a matter of minutes. Even with the timely response of the Sheriff and his Hounds, many of our kind were still lost or injured in the process. I offer my deepest condolences to all who have lost loved ones or been affected by what transpired that fateful night. Please know that there are avenues available to all who may require extra support during this trying period for the kindred as we brace as a community to get through this together.

But in times of great adversity, the best of people can also emerge. And I would like to make a special mention of thanks, not only to Anastasia, who made the ultimate sacrifice so that our loss could be reduced to the most minimal, but also to the following members of our community.

Firstly, to the Sheriff and his Hounds, for their steadfast, unwavering bravery and sense of duty in getting as many of our kind to safety as they could and coordinating rescue efforts on the ground

Second, to the Ventrue Primogen Micah Lucciano for generously opening up his reserves and providing blood to all the injured at the scene.

The Marquess of Hell’s Kitchen Joseph Morvell for responding swiftly and availing his premises for refugees of the unfortunate tragedy.

For all those mentioned as well as the unmentioned heroes of that night, I am grateful for the contributions you have made for the better of our community and I assure you, those responsible for the terrible event will be brought to justice and made to pay for their crimes.

But for now, we grieve. And we take a moment to remember all who were lost. A memorial will be held in the near future, as soon as we have made arrangements to attend to the injured and those most gravely affected. A great calamity has befallen us, but it is my hope that we as a community will band together and emerge stronger through it all.

Sincerely,
Lucian Carlye

The refugees of the fire are at the Paramour for anyone looking. Come as you need to to retrieve them or if you want to help. Some of them are still in a bad way this evening.

My condolences to all who've lost people. And my commendation to the Sheriff and his Hounds. We'd have lost many more without their efforts.

I shouldn't have to say this, but I will not tolerate any fuckery. Anyone who tries any will be personally tossed out by me and banned from Hell's Kitchen.

[Cian]
Thanks, mate. I owe you one.

Lucian Carlyle, Prince of New York City, with the full support of the Primogen Council, declares a Blood Hunt on Dorian Valatieri of the Chicago court for the murder of Alex Kain, former Ventrue Primogen, and crimes against the Kindred of New York City. Should he make it out of the city within the next few hours, then he is hereby permanently exiled from the city on the punishment of final death should he ever step back into it.

Let the hunt begin.

[To whom it may concern]

I seem to have come into possession of a rather large Child of the Moon. He told me his name was Cian or Key. If you're looking for him he's safe. I would have escorted him home, but he doesn't seem to remember where it is. Also, he's in need of a change of clothes.

[Amadeus]

Any interest in a Malkavian Hound? He took out three Anarchs with his bare hands and I almost missed him coming up behind them. Impressive, given his size.

[HOUNDS]

We have a report of another missing ghoul. Considering how the last one was found we should likely look into this one. Before this one ends up chopped into little bits as well. Skip the cleanup and all that.

[MAB]

Mab, my dear, I know you are rather fond of your ghoul so I figured that I'd give you a heads up to keep an eye on him.

( I did too much. )

I do enjoy digital art from time to time. Here is a little something I have been working on...

Straight out of the Looking Glass, Alice comin' at ya'!

But seriously, I'm Chiyu. Connie said I could totally post here, so I figured I'd say hi.

So what's good, New York?

( My dentist said I needed a crown and I was like, I know, right? )

My esteemed Kindred of New York,

It is with his Majesty's greatest honor that we are able to announce to you that the great clan of Ventrue has finally come to a decision on who will stepping into the shoes of Alex Kain and replacing him as Primogen. We all know that Alex Kain can never truly be replaced for he did much for Ventrue and Kindred alike and was highly respected during his time as Primogen. However, the clan has great hopes for their new choice and that he will lead them well going forward.

Prince Lucian welcomes Micah Lucciano, Duke of Yorkville, to the Primogen Council as the new Primogen of the clan Ventrue. Long may he serve not only his clan but the Prince and Kindred of New York as well.

Yours in Service,
The Prince's Herald

*handwaves* Pretend that this was posted on the 17th like it should have been.

Does anyone have tips on alias choosing?

Once again Mr. Peter Gundry has drawn me into his composition, this time including his brother Darren in the working. This mixed with the photo for the video by Ms. Natalia Drepina creates such a beautiful setting. I could almost imagine it in one of those Victorian or turn-of-the-century horror films. The protagonist lost in their own mind, wandering a house falling down around them - or so they believe... Her gallery [NSFW] shows a very traditional but morbid mind. I fancy the artist to be a witch who has a preference for the old versions of fairytales where most of them do not find a happy ending. Please take a moment out of your evening to enjoy.

I'd like a little field time, if anyone is willing to escort me.

[Amadeus & Hounds]

Ding-dong, Avon calling. I've got a pretty pink Cadillac to earn. Or to be given. Amadeus, give me a car for this. Hahahahahahahaha.

I would like to invite you all to the future funeral of one Luke Schwartz. Mister Schwartz will be shitting himself to death relatively soon if you do a good enough job. Caitiff. Ten years out of Seattle, supposedly a good little Cam with serious Anarch leanings until a certain predecessor put his girlfriend six-feet under. Oopsie doodle. Maybe he should've ghouled her.

How he's gotten to "smiler the defiler" is anyone's guess. Not mine because I don't care but anyone else's.

Someone needs to invent vitae-flavored gum for Kindred. My mouth gets so bored when it has nothing to do.

I would like to remind everyone that yes, some ghouls are allowed access to SchreckNET by their masters and that should be taken into account when posting or mentioning certain topics on here. So that I don't end up with even more paperwork on my desk when one decides to get overly sensitive.

[HOUNDS]

It's probably nothing but Annette Vanchure filed a missing ghoul report.
