Mac has provided a private room, in which those involved in this little conspiracy covertly gather to discuss the unwise course of action that involves attempted assassination of the public face of a vampire coven. Una should never be seen in this sort of place, Cassius would rather not be, Mac is undoubtedly in agreement on that last, and Peter and Robert might be in over their heads.

Where: A barge towed by an airship on the Thames
When: Sunday, 27th August, 1888, afternoon to evening
Rating: This post is not yet rated!

It's still August in London, but out on the water there's a decent breeze. Entertainers - poets, musicians, and orators - are scattered around the barge, reciting legends and singing folk songs. Any guest who wishes to participate is encouraged to step up and take a turn telling the old tales. This is a celebration of shared history, and everyone present is invited to share their slice of it.

Other boats might pass closely enough that a full-scale dragon is unwise, but otherwise the supernatural is very much in evidence and no one will be asked to hide their nature. Any stray unknowing mortals who have wandered onboard will be dealt with before their departure.

As fear-an-tigh (man of the house), Cassius is hosting the event in honor of his future bride. The Night Watch are discreetly on hand to settle any disagreements, food and drink are spilling out of nearly every corner, and anywhere there is music is an invitation to dance. The airship above is a sleek model courtesy of Modern Prometheus, and a secure ladder allows guests to ascend to higher altitudes and take in the view.

OOC: Open to all, drop 'em in! Questions and discussion can be facilitated here.
