Open Stories
Cut out the Cutting
I learned at the Court of the Nightmare Queen that kine are cutting trees and bushes in the south of Central Park and they are not too happy. I'll have to look into a way to stop it (Session 124). At Elysium, I learned there were some folk working on Central Park and to talk to the Gangrel about it (Session 125). After talking to them and asking around, I learned the city is tending to the sick trees in the park, and taking the opportunity to do more while they are there (Session 126). Talking to a friend of a Rotary friend, I convinced an expert to get me a plan to heal the trees instead of clearing them out (Session 130). I checked at the Rotary meeting but no news on the plan yet (Session 132).
At the fundraiser gala, I spoke with the Mayor of New York about the situation in Central Park. I am not sure I made sufficient of an impression, but its a start (Session 136). I also managed to get my hands on the better plan from my Rotary friends and sent it to the Mayors office (Session 138).
I discussed the matter further at a fashion show with other notables, and at the Rotary and got the advise to seek out the Press to generate a chance for the Mayor to justify following the new plan (Session 141). At Elysium, I was able to convince Kenneth Forbes to publish an article for me in his magazine (Session 143).
Yoga Demo
I've not been to Yoga in a while due to circumstances, but I should return soon as the Prince wants a demo of my skills soon (Session 113)! When I returned to Yoga class I met some new ladies who worked out there, all fashion models, so I decided I'll need a new outfit (Session 116). I finally picked one up in a cute little store in the garment district (Session 117). Even so, I ran into an unfortunate situation as Emily didn't give me the money for my Yoga lesson (Session 120). Emily did not give me any money again, and the teacher was kind once more, but this is getting too embarrasing. Luckily, Cierra was able to help out as I helped her with the fairies, and it couldn't have come at a better time (Session 126)!
I made some close friends with the other Yoga girls, some of whom are models - they seemed to know about my work in Tel Aviv and were very interested (Session 129). The girls were most helpful advising me on potential places to find outfits as I worked on developing a routine (Session 130).
During the Gala, I took some of the Yoga girls to see the Prince though she was not impressed. She did indicate after though that she was really looking forward to the performance. I best step up (Session 136)! I did some training with Tamara who was most interested (Session 137) and finally bought some colourful outfits though I had a hard time picking the right one (Session 141).
Japanese Guests
Cierra asked my help to host one of her Japanese guests. Naturally I agreed (Session 117). The date of the meeting is coming up and Cierra gave me instructions. She'll have a gown (to keep) and jewellery (to loan) for me (Session 138). At a later Elysium, Cierra made note the guests will be here soon, so I best get ready (Session 145).
Bloody Ballet
I took some time besides ballet class to get closer with the other dancers (Session 120). It seems to be on the right path, and I joined some of the girls to go "clubbing". These clubs are -really- loud! (Session 126). It is time I find some additional sources of blood though, as I had a hard time keeping myself under control at the Rotary already, and this month is looking like it will be a problem (Session 127). I did manage to make some new friends of noble descent at my ballet class and invited them to practice with Gabriella and me at her ballet room (Session 128). During our side practice I was able to gain some sustainance from the other ballerina's, who may become part of my 'herd' (Session 129).
I had some trouble controlling myself again, reiterating the importance of managing this (Session 131) though I at least made some progress expanding my hunting grounds by introducing my yoga friends to Cierra and helping my ballet friends at the Fundraiser Gala (Session 136).
I went out with my yoga friends and arranged some more personal meetups. I also got some very useful tips for hunting at Elysium (Session 140). I spoke with Mr. Worthington to allow me to hunt in the car, he sort of agreed, but suggested I needed other feeding spots, and to talk to Carol (Session 141).
I spoke with Carol who recommended some spots that I managed to use successfully right away. She also suggested I talk to Nicolas and Christine for more (Session 142). I spoke to both at Elysium. Christine recommended locations at Broadway and Nicolas said he'd take me on a tour of Tribeca in exchange for a future favour (Session 143). Nicolas took me on the tour soon after, introducing me to various club owners (Session 145).
Amon Returns
I saw Jabbar of Alexandria at Elysium, he is apparently a ghoul and after the Palimpsest. Marcus called wanting to see me (Session 134), but it wasn't to apologize. Rather, he had questions about Jabbar, and even suggested Jabbar might want to steal the Palimpsests from the church. Who would think such a thing?
At the Firebird performance at the Met, some strange freak accidents happened, a dancer fainting and iron flying in my direction. Luckily the Prince saved me (Session 135). Much to my shock though, these problems were caused by a demon-creature who was using the performance to send a message: 'Amon shall live!' I almost lost myself, but Cierra put me back in my place (Session 136). After the events, I told the Prince everything, and I informed Lindsey and Isaac who had not realized what was going on yet with the creature (Session 137).
Colours
I've been seeing weird colours for a while now, apparently Isaac knows something about it... (Session 134)
Sophia
Sophia Bell seemed she might be ill, but she reassured me she was okay (Session 131). It turned out this may have been an overestimation on her part as she was sick again this time. She may need my help (Session 136).
I asked around at Elysium and got advise to take her to Reverend Jonah. At the Rotary, I invited her to do just that (Session 138). When I took her to the Reverend, they discussed the matter in private, but it was serious it seemed. The Prince was also concerned as she used to feed on Sophia and she went with me to see the Reverend, though I'm still confused as to what is going on (Session 139).
Picking up the Pieces
Tamara destroyed a large number of my outfits! Some might be salvagable, bit it is a mess... (Session 112) Marcus heard about the trouble and offered to throw some shade on Tamara by associating her with the Sabbat, but I felt that went too far (Session 113). I've started work on repairing what can be saved, though some of them are a lost cause (Session 114). I continued to work on them, but I think I need some help, which eventually led me to find an expert seamstress to give me some lessons in the evening (Session 120). The seamstress and I began work on doing repair work and she had a lot of useful advise (Session 126). I took another class, but the late - or rather early - hour is a bit difficult (Session 127). After a lot of delays, I finally managed to get another class in, and I do seem to be improving (Session 137).
My studies continue, though I may have a bigger issue - one of my gowns in the Court of the Nightmare Queen is... broken (Session 138).
During the Easter break, I finally managed to finish my sewing lessons and I have started work repairing some of my damaged outfits (Session 141), though I made a mistake and ruined one of them (Session 142). I did not give up though and continued to work (Session 143)
Dance Skills
The teacher at the School of American Ballet warned that there will be a big test the 30th, in preparation of the summer break. Other girls will likely go to have intensives during summer, which as a Kindred, I won't be able to do (Session 142). We had a grueling training session, but I finally managed to pass! Next year, I will need a new uniform and should expect to be going through a lot more point shoes (Session 143).
While in the Hedge, I learned Lindsey doesn't know how to dance, and moreover, Dwayne fell during the maypole dance (Session 144). Lindsey and I agree we should arrange some dance lessons some day soon (Session 145).
Clockwork Jason
Jason took me to Central Park where I entered the Hedge. When I returned he wasn't there anymore (Session 138).
My assumption that Jason had returned home after taking me there was -very- wrong. Instead he entered the hedge with me and got lost! I managed to convince the Nightmare Queen to find the pieces he had been scattered into and put them back together. However, it appears some of him is clockwork now! Oh dear! At least I managed to take him back home... (Session 142)
I explained Jason's situation to Isaac in hopes of help. Isaac agreed if I'd help him with an issue for his friend Penny. She wants some territory in Brooklyn. I agreed to talk to Lidya de Witte on her behalf (Session 143).
At the Beltane Ball, I managed to arrange possible help for Jason as well, a Doctor of some sort. To get his help though, I'll need to get rid of a building in Central Park (Session 144).
Mr. Worthington asked about Jason, he was probably concerned. Meanwhile, I learned the building in Central Park is a transmutation house and it cannot be removed or it will break the street lanterns. By means of various community members I managed to get in contact with Rastus who agreed to disguise the transpiration house by painting it over. Hopefully that will satisfy the Fair Folk (Session 145).
Setite Invitation
When we left the hedge, I was warned to keep an eye out for snakes that might bite (Session 144). At Elysium, Kensa and Hesra invited me to visit the Golden Asp soon, which I did. The Setites are calling in the favour I owe - they'd like me to get the Prince to accept the arrival of a woman named Kadijah into the city (Session 145).
Carol's Clothes
Carol did not appear at Elysium. When we went to check on her we found she had nothing to wear. I loaned her a gown, and we went shopping soon after - everyone needs a good summer wardrobe (Session 145).
Charity
At Elysium, I was contacted by a woman who organizes charity events. She wanted to cooperate and of course I gladly agreed (Session 145).
