Sabbat Negotiations

IMAGE TODO

The Prince asked about my relationship with Tina Lopez. I denied any, as I am not in cahoots with the Sabbat, but it turned out to be about something else. Soon after, I was asked to help negotiate a deal, though I was warned I may have to flee if things go wrong... Carol and I went shopping for the occasion (Session 106). The Prince decreed my visit would be taking place now, and said that Marcus, Isaac, Lindsey and Dwayne would accompany me to guard me. I put on my new gown though I do not think they liked it... In either case, when we arrived, I spoke with several Sabbat members including a female Bishop named Ecatarina, who asked a lot of uncomfortable questions, but agreed to a ceasefire. As we left, someone fired a gun and I panicked (Session 108)! I took some time to recover from the ordeal, but after a few days the Prince asked me about the meeting in detail and I told what I was able. I suspect with the gunfire, any ceasefire is off though (Session 109).

United Nations Summit

At Elysium, I heard I might need a new ballgown for a UN gala (Session 107). Tamara and I were told to go shopping together for outfits this Friday for the UN event (Session 115) where we bought dresses that were not too noticable (Session 117). At the summit, I helped the Prince and Peter Ingolf as best I could, distracting an elderly Chinese gentleman and trying to make acquintance with another diplomat. The latter became awkward rather quickly and my attempt to make it less so led to Tamara throwing her drink all over me. I fled to the bathroom where the kind wife of the Brittish Ambassador helped me into a new ballgown, which I wore for the rest of the event. She is so kind! A great fear of mine took manifest though when Zacha turned up with the Russian delegation! To repay me for aiding him, Peter Ingolf had her sent away, though I fear that may not be the end of it. The Prince took me home after and I did not tell her about what had happened with Tamara, though I think she might have known anyway. I pray that everything we needed was accomplished at the UN though (Session 119).

Peter Ingolf

IMAGE TODO

A man named Peter Ingolf is in town. I don't know who he is, but Tamara may have offended him somehow, and she's scared, so he is probably dangerous! (Session 105)! Mr. Worthinton was... oddly polite when Peter Ingolf came by the Empire State Building though Carol was mostly very curious. The Prince doesn't like Peter Ingolf at all though, nor does the Baron of Brooklyn... I managed to calm the prince down and let her vent a bit on the chessboard. Peter Ingols visit may be related to a meeting in New York by the United Nations, regarding the fall of the Soviet Union... (Session 106). At Elysium, I had to speak to him for Ravenna as a favour, who also warned me that where Mr. Ingolf went, Vampire Hunters might follow. When I spoke to him, I asked how things were in Boston on behalf of Ravenna, though Mr. Ingolf did not let anything slip. He did confirm he was here for the UN summit, to discuss airplane security <MAY NEED TO BE SPLIT> (Session 107). Peter Ingolf was at the Empire State Building again, though I managed to avoid him. He spoke for a very long time with Mr. Worthington (Session 108). The Primogen came together again to discuss current events (Session 113) and when I learned he'd visit Elysium (Session 115) I decided to chat with him. He asked about the household and then dismissed me quite rudely (Session 116).

While shopping for the UN summit with Tamara, I encountered Mr. Ingolf again, he was shopping with some unknown woman, though we only exchanged the briefest of pleasantries (Session 117). I tried - and failed - to get more information from the store later (Session 118) though when we met again at the UN summit, I was able to find out the woman's name is Sandra Schröder, a high ranking Tremere. Peter Ingolf was kind enough to help me with a problem at the summit, and I gave him and his girl a deferential courtesey at the Elysium following later that night. He'll be leaving New York soon no doubt (Session 119).

New People

IMAGE TODO

According to rumours, Nicolas is bringing someone new into the city. They are supposedly from Africa. I went shopping for an outfit for the ceremony of their arrival with Lindsey and Tamara. On the day itself, we discovered another person will be arriving and they might even be a clanless! (Session 102) We witnessed their introduction to the Prince, and I must say that the Traveler - not clanless - named Aruna made a much better impression than Wotan the Toreador. He even pulled me into a date (Session 103)! Afterwards we did not have much contact, so I reached out to Wotan and Aruna to check up on them. We agreed to meet at the next Elysium (Session 114).

Aruna told me a relative of his had died. Turned out I met his relative at an Elysium some time ago - some Hindu priest I convinced Kindred weren't real. Turned out he died soon after! (Session 116). I spoke to the Keeper about it, but she casted some doubt on Aruna's story and told me I'd best leave it alone, so I decided to heed her advice (Session 120).

Party

New Shoes

IMAGE TODO

Lindsey and I agreed to go shoe shopping. She has such great taste in shoes and I want to do something nice for her (Session 102). We marveled at some of the strange creation and I bought a pair of designer boots for Lindsey. We also selected some for me which I'll pick up next week as Emily didn't give me enough money and said she'd need a few days to get the rest together (Session 103). Lindsey and I set a date to head back and buy the boots I liked (Session 108), though the date had to be moved for other priorities for a bit (Session 110). Finally though, Lindsey and I went back to buy them, and they are absolutely gorgeous (Session 111) and I got to show them off at Elysium... and to the Prince! (Session 112).

Study under Isaac

IMAGE TODO

My headackes were inspected by the Tremere and they assigned Isaac to give me training to help me get things under control (Session 107). Isaac started training me by showing me colourful pictures and the likes. It was strange and confusing, but I think it might be helping. We might study at the next Elysium for some reason (Session 108), though things were interrupted for a moment due to the chaos - we started again the next week though (Session 110). After a short break, my training continued without much incident (Session 113). I managed to finish the training just in time for our trip to Coney Island (Session 114).

Coney Island

IMAGE TODO

During Elysium, I proposed for Lindsey, Marcus, Isaac, Dwayne and I to do something fun, and the idea was spawned to go to Coney Island (Session 113). After a lot of trying, I found the perfect outfit (Session 114) and we went there to have a lot of fun. There was a ferris wheel and a hall of mirrors and a scary ghost house, and Iacomo said hi! We had a blast all in all! (Session 115)

Other Friends

Further Dating

IMAGE TODO

Accidentally got invited on a date with Aruna (Session 103)! The date went reasonably well, but Lindsey didn't show up, so it was just us. He told me about his family... (Session 104). I tried to arrange an event with Tamara and Carol, but they said they were busy (Session 111). Turned out though that Tamara's plans were cancelled as the Prince took me out instead! And she kissed me! (Session 112)

Pancake Mixer

IMAGE TODO

I was asked to arrange an introduction to Pancake, who apparently hadn't been introduced! (Session 114) I arranged with Julia to set her introduction on March 4th, and agreed with Pancake to shop for a dress on the 2nd (Session 116). We visited the shop where I got my first Qi Pao, and bought matching Ruqun outfits for the introduction, mixing debutante white with traditional Chinese (Session 117) and I presented her to the Prince. Since she claimed not to have a sire, the matter of finding her a foster clan remains open, but at least she is in the city legally now (Session 118).

Ballet

Ballerina Trouble

IMAGE TODO

One of the girls in my ballet class has a rich new boyfriend! So exciting! (Session 108) The class are some wonderful people, and they gave me support when I was sad, which really helped me feel a bit better (Session 109). I later found out the girl with the rich new boyfriend seemed to be having some relation issues (Session 111). She was still sad later on in the week, and Gabriella had her own issues with her father as well (Session 112). The bulk of the problem seemed to have been solved eventually though (Session 117).

Elysium

Stone Tablet

IMAGE TODO

At an auction during Elysium, Cierra wanted to get a Stone Tablet, but the bidding was going very high. I spoke to some of the people involved trying to broker a more reasonable deal. I think I may have helped but I don't think I was the reason she eventually got what she wanted (Session 105)

Punch

IMAGE TODO

I helped Dwayne deal with some police confusion after one of his marketeers went a bit overboard (Session 115). But when it turned out there might be fighting, Cierra was kind enough to take me home (Session 116).

Favours

Setites Again

IMAGE TODO

As agreed, Nicolas headed to the Setites at the deadline to apologize, but it turned out they had stolen Jacqueline now! Obviously he didn't apologize and I might now be in their debt (Session 106)! I asked Ravenna to talk to the Setites and figure out what was going on, though I had to leave Elysium before getting an answer (Session 107). I learned more at Elysium, but Kensa and Hezra also made sure I would have to visit the Golden Asp soon about that favour... (Session 115) At open Elysium, I arranged for Dwayne to take me there once again next Thursday (Session 119). When we went there, I explained my issues and the Setites were kind enough to give me some time. While there, I also noticed that Jacqueline was happy in her new role - she bought a lease with a view even (Session 121)!

Italian Business Matters

Lindsey asked me for help talking to the Giovanni, so Lucretia and I chatted for hours and in the end Don Carlo agreed to Lindseys plan (Session 110). Reaper indicated she wanted to talk to me soon (Session 113). Turned out that the Don had allowed something to happen in Chinatown and now the Prince was revoking his territory. Oops! (Session 114) I spoke with Lucrezia at Elysium and she said that I might be able to make up for my error later (Session 120)

During my ballet practice at Gabriella's, I noticed several of the Giovanni there (Session 129).

Fundraiser Gala

IMAGE TODO

Christine and I agreed we'd organize a fundraiser gala for the School of American Ballet (Session 104)! At ballet class, I heard rumours someone else may be organizing a similar event with a performance (Session 106) but I soon learned that Christine was the one who spread word in preparation of the event. I best get started, I suppose (Session 107)! I discussed the gala at the Rotary, as a sort of pre-announcement (Session 109), and spoke with the person in charge at the School of American Ballet. They want me to bring my guardian - fortunately, the prince agreed (Session 110). I held a brainstorm session with Carol and Tamara about the Gala (Session 111) and working out ideas (Session 112).

The prince finally came with me to the School of American Ballet and got them to agree to the event! (Session 113) Gabriella agreed to help and I'm very popular with the girls now that I'm involved (Session 114), but I really need to pick the right ballet (Session 115) - we eventually decided on the Firebird, which has 13 princesses in it (Session 116).

To arrange a location, I visited the Met with Lindsey, but we failed to even get an audience with the director. I might have an in via my friends at the Rotary though (Session 117).

The girls at my ballet class are starting to get restless and the teacher insisted so I had to promise them to give more information on Monday once I have spoken to my friends at the Rotary. Good news though as Cierra promised to attend the performance (Session 126)!

Kimberly took me to meet her uncle who promised he'd try to arrange the Met for me - it's gonna be tight though, I sort of promised an answer for the girls in my class tomorrow (Session 127). Fortunately, Kimberly's uncle came through with a spot in the Met for April 11th! Auditions were held almost immediately and Gabriella got an understudy spot while two other friends of mine both got roles (Session 128)! We've been practicing a lot together, though here remains a lot of chaos at class. I was also asked about who would attend, and I dropped a few hints (Session 129).

The training has been brutal and we have been having drop outs already, the teacher even limiting training amounts. I invited the entire kindred community at Elysium too (Session 130).

I visited several clubs with Christine to invite important people. Later at Elysium, I asked Jacqueline for help, she said she'd speak to me later though in the meanwhile it turned out Pancake also knows a lot of people. I'm hoping to get the Mayor and Governor to come (Session 131). I invited more people to the Fundraiser performance at the next Elysium. Fortunately, Christine knew what the deal was regarding tickets! (Session 132)

During rehearsals, I managed to make a good impression, getting praise from the teacher and making a positive impression on the other girls who appreciated me not competing for roles. I think I made a rival though. I did manage to invite my friends from Yoga though (Session 134).

I called Pancake to make sure she'd come, as well as many others. Fortunately, everyone came and despite some rude people I was able to help backstage. Eventually I took Gabriella to see the Prince and we watched the show together - it was wonderful were it not for the freak accidents that kept happening! I was pretty upset about those, but the show went on and did not get cancelled, luckily (Session 135).

Despite the interruptions, the gala was otherwise a huge success and I spent the entire evening talking to people, thanking donors and introducing everyone to everyone. I think I did a good thing (Session 136)!
