We Are The Night session 12...
Laura waited for Mary after an evening class, taking care not to be seen by Steve or Jo.
"It may be that you know more than you realize."
"Like what? He never told me what he was. What you are." Laura looked away uncomfortably. "He never even told me who he really was."
"But maybe you saw him with someone, overheard something?"
"So what if I did? I don't know it."
"Some of us can... read minds."
Mary flinched, scared, then angry.
Michael tracked down the invading vampire, and saw him meeting with another, a dark-haired woman in gold.
And the next time he saw her, she was at a student club, putting the moves on Steve.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
So I had seven things to go to for Halloween and one for New Year's.
What does this say about me and my circle of friends? Hmm...

Star Wars
New Star Wars makes me want to run or play Star Wars. (Not with the new system with the funny dice though. Ew.)

We Are Wish You A Merry Christmas
We Are The Night session 11...
A day early because of something happening.
Michael burst in and seized the vampire, fighting and forcing him out.
"Why are you doing this?"
The vampire vanished, laughing.
Michael called Laura to watch the room.
Talbot denied all knowledge of this vampire. Was he telling the truth?
Still at court, Laura was approached by one of her clan, a Crone witch.
"The girl does not know what she knows..."

We Are Young, No One Can Tell Us We're Wrong
We Are The Night session 10...
Michael and Laura cornered the man. Laura turned on the charm and he told them he's been working for Mr. Talbot to find out more about a murder. He didn't seem to know about vampires. Laura sent him on his way. Michael looked at her questioningly.
"Better not harm him. I would like to know what Talbot wants with her, though..."
Mary got up before dawn, waited till the sun is well up before going back to her room to get ready for her day.
She didn't spot the man watching her.
As night fell, Laura came to her room and told her what had happened.
"Why would your prince be so interested in me?"
"I have one idea. You're not going to like it..."
"Tell me."
"Your grandfather had enemies, maybe more than he knew. Now they're ours. I don't know if he's with them or against them, but right now he wants to know what you're doing."
"But, why would vampires care about me?"
"Maybe to spite Simon, or his line. Or maybe you have something, or know something, they want?"
"I don't. I don't!"
Laura left in silence.
And at night another vampire came a calling...

We Are There For You (When The Rain Starts To Pour...)
We Are The Night session 9...
Jo called the police.
Michael crept close to scent the air, then withdrew, not feeling like answering those kinds of questions.
The police probably weren't as helpful as they might have been if Mary didn't have to lie about her grandfather being murdered, what with him having been officially dead for decades.
Mary stayed with Jo. Steve slept on the couch. Michael and Laura watched from across the street.
"What we can do for her is find the man following her." With that, Laura left. After a moment, Michael followed.
They had little trouble finding him. Answering to the Prince.
(And there was some discussion of shipping Mary and Jo, as the only character who isn't totally into her.)

Black Friday, I'm in love
The streets are filled with ravenous, remorseless hunters. Not vampires. Shoppers.
Cleanup on every aisle. Please send help. We beg you.
Shop till someone drops.

We Are The Not Sure About This
We Are The Night session 8...
Laura shadowed the stalker, who proved to be a human. She suspected, not unreasonably, that he was working for a vampire, so got that bit closer to listen in as he made a call.
Mary hit a couple bars with Jo and Steve, having roughly zero much fun due to her grandfather dying and the whole issue with vampires.
Michael followed Mary, staying out of sight. He spotted the man tailing her, and Laura as well. I'm sure this won't be awkward.
The stalker's conversation was vague in a sinister way. "She's in sight, out with friends... no, nothing like that..." He headed off.
Some guys hit on Mary and Jo. Steve got defensive, telling them Mary wasn't interested. Not really his call to make even though she wasn't, as Jo pointed out. One of the guys looked like he was considering a swing at Steve. Laura intervened, far enough away that Mary didn't see, and one look in her eye made him back right down.
Steve walked Mary and Jo home, with Michael shadowing at a distance. When they got there, they found it had been ransacked...

We Are The Nightlife
We Are The Night session 7...
A dingy basement nightclub in the Village, home to a small stage, domain of Julia. Laura tried not to look out of place. Michael didn't bother.
Mary stayed away, on campus, in brightly lit areas with lots of people.
"So, her defenders... Let me assure you that I have no interest in the girl herself, only in her grandfather's holdings. A shame to let it all lie fallow, wouldn't you agree?"
Unconvinced but with nothing more to go on at that moment, they split up. Michael said he would look over Simon's land while Laura returned to the Rack. He lied and went back to campus to keep an eye on Mary. Laura, in turn, called Mary to check in.
"It's Friday night, you should be out... I can be there to make sure you don't get any unwelcome attention..."
Vampires lying to each other. This will go well.
And sure enough, this was when Laura noticed someone following Mary.

One year later
I started this blog thing a year ago, and in that time I've run most of one game and started another, grumbled about other games, made some jokes, passed some stuff on and even had some comments. We've also seen VTM 4 and CTD 20 announced and White Wolf sold to Paradox Interactive. Things be happenin'. Who knows what next year will bring? (Probably some gaming.)
