She would make that happen //(Session 158)//. We made travel plans which Isaac will arrange //(Session 159)//, and asked Emily to arrange a passport for me, which she passed along to Julia //(Session 160)//. Emily was confused when she hadn't realized she was coming along, and she said she wouldn't go //(Session 162)//. Isaac was likewise upset with the Courtchange of plans, so I think I messed up //(Session 163)// We finally arrived in England and took a car to the Nightmare Queen that kine are cutting trees and bushes in the southPrince of Central Park and they are not too happy. I'll have to look intoLondon, where Isaac introduced me. The prince insisted I stay there for 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)//few days //(Session 167)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Sabbat NightmareIceland Visit ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] I learned at the CourtGrim invited us to his rather rough and chaotic bar, and asked for us to help him out with some friends and matters while we were in Iceland. Naturally we agreed //(Session 163)//. In Iceland, we met Prince Ragnar and some of the Nightmare Queen that Sabbat have been petitioning her for leverage in New York. As I am the Ambassador now, theyGrims friends. We'll have to go through me if they want to try that again! //(Session 124)// I explained what happened to the Princemeet up in London and she seemed very unhappy with me about it. She didn't even raise her voice! //(Session 125)// Later on, I heard Marcus had been attacked by the Sabbat after speaking to them. When I asked, he told me they might be at Open Elysium //(Session 128)//. At Open Elysium, I found a member of the Sabbat and told them to leave the Nightmare Queen alone, which she took very serious, going to deliver the message immediately. The prince was somewhat suspicious though... //(Session 131)// After the Sabbat lady left, there wasbring some trouble and there was even a risstuff back for the Masquerade, but I was good and I told the Prince what I knew and promised to check with her first next time, so I think things are okay now. I should inform the Nightmare Queen though, she will be pleased //(Session 132)//! I wrote a letter to the Nightmare Queen, but I want to show it to the Prince first. Unfortunately she didn't have time for me today yet //(Session 133)//, though I finally managed to get her to read and approve the letter, so I can deliver it //(Session 137)//. I delivered the letter personally though the Nightmare Queen was pretty clear she doesn't want letters but prefers me to deliver he message verbally. While there, it turned out one of the Sabbat had gone around me to there and he was given into my keeping as a captive. I took him back to the real world, but he was attacked just as he left when he was not being very nice and I think he might have died, so I fled //(Session 138)//! ** Possibly already ended **//(Session 166)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Yoga DemoBloody Cruise ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] I've not been to Yoga left port on the Dawn Princess heading for London. The ship is amazing, so many things to see. No blooddolls though... //(Session 165)// Carol went hunting with me and I got used to it, though it still feels unnatural to me. Even so, I seemed to have gotten used to the ship and its amenities //(Session 166)//! We finally disembarked in England after 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 141long trip //(Session 167)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Victoria's Secret ShowSwimsuit Edition ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] Kimberly Parson askedThere is a -swimming pool- on the ship. We went, but I am not sure I am ever going to understand the modern swim clothing, if it can be called that, so I kept out of the pool, even though Emily got me to find some tickets to a secret fashion show in exchange for helping me arrange//(Session 165)//. In Iceland, we went to visit the Met foBlue Lagoon, and I had little choice but to wear the Fundraiser Gala, so of course I'm onnew swimwear. Luckily the case //(Session 117)//. I spoke with the models at my Yoga class who knew who I might get tickets from and Cierra was kind enough to help me get four tickets - two for Kimberly and two for me //(Session 120)//. After arranging a meeting for her, Cierra gave me the four tickets - I'll pass two of them on to Kimberly when I see her //(Session 125)//. I invited the Prince to join me for the show as well and handed the tickets to Julia for that //(Session 126)// and the tickets for Kimberly were passed to her as well //(Session 127)//. She seemed very happy with them //(Session 132)//! I spoke with the Prince about the upcoming show and she indicated shewater is looking forward to it //(Session 138)//! When we finally went though, it turned out to be a show for underwear! I don't think I could get morepretty opaque, but I still felt embarassed until the prince bought me a set //(Session 141)// ** Possibly already ended **//(Session 166)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Japanese GuestsPhoto Model ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] Cierra asked my help to hostI met Carla, one of Grims friends, who is apparently a famous photo model. She seems nice, I like 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)//.//(Session 166)//! [/quote] [quote] ---- Bloody Ballet ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] 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)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Figure Skater ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] Cierra asked me to accompany her to meet a figure skater who is apparently quite talented //(Session 126)//. At Elysium she informed me the meeting will take place on the 9th of April //(Session 130)//. Cierra took me to an ice ring in Central Park where I met [[setting/Nancy Kerrigan]] - she is a wonderful skater and I was super impressed! //(Session 134)// At the Court of the Nightmare Queen it became clear that Nancy's presence may be playing in the Duchess of Winter's favour, which I have no objection to //(Session 138)//. ** Possibly already ended ** [/quote] [quote] ---- Church Incident ---- [sidebar:left] Image TODO [/sidebar] Marcus came to visit and we talked about various topics amongst them religion. He seems to have some doubts and worries. At church, he lied to the priest though about his history which was oddly disturbing. What's going on? After church, there was a loud banging like gunshots and I panicked a bit. Marcus was there and he just left me, though luckily, Oxana was able to take care of me. She saw me cry blood though, and once I was home she asked about it despite my pleading she wouldn't. I was forced to clear her memory a bit to preserve the masquerade and feel rather guilty now... //(Session 133)// In the chaos, I almost forgot about Richard the driver. He was apparently hurt, so I sent some flowers! Also, Lindsey wants to talk to some of the people at church so I invited her to come next Sunday //(Session 134)//. Lindsey arranged a headscarf //(Session 138)// and joined me, and I made some introductions of her //(Session 139)// Tamara and I went shopping for an Easter gown. At church I got some bad news //(Session 140)//. I had no black gown anymore so I had to borrow one from Carol, though I hid the real reason under Good Friday... Finally we celebrated the Lord's Resurrection though, and I am now in the mood for something more colourful and seasonal //(Session 141)//. ** Possibly already ended ** [/quote] [quote] ---- Amon Returns ---- [sidebar:left] Image TODO [/sidebar] I saw [[setting/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)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Colours ---- [sidebar:left] Image TODO [/sidebar] I've been seeing weird colours for a while now, apparently Isaac knows something about it... //(Session 134)// [/quote] [quote] ---- Sophia ---- [sidebar:left] Image TODO [/sidebar] 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)//. [/quote] [quote] ---- Picking up the Pieces ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] 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)//. TODO: SPLIT [/quote] [quote] ---- Bottled Spring ---- [sidebar:left] IMAGE TODO [/sidebar] Markus came to me with an incoherent story about bottles being stolen at Cierra's ice ring. I decided to buy some new ones for him to give him next Elysium, and at his request, I'll check some rumours at the Fey Court later //(Session 141)//. [/quote]
