---- A reminder of GodStorm ---- A priest in Alexandra spoke about how there may be references to Kindred in the Bible.storm is raging through New York and I'm not sure what to think of that... //(Session 60)// Whileve been restricted from visiting Mount Sinai, I felt the fear of God in my bones. Then people asked for my blessing. I am not living up to what I should be... //(Session 61)// Back in New York I celebrated Pokrov and bought an icon of the Theotokos for Prince Michaella. She seemed to appreciate it, and wants to talk about faith atthe church //(Session 70)//. Ballet lessons were hard to get to as well as the storm continues //(Session 71)// After some point in the future //(Session 64)//.time, the storm finally died down, I hope everyone is okay //(Session 74)// ---- Demonic Possession ---- The palimpsest found is a relic and has actual writings from Saint Catherine! //(Session 69)// A scientist looked for way to spare the relic but he was unable to find it, so the proposal is to destroy them. He said he'd give me a private explanation of the procedure, but in reality, the demon inside him took possession of me! I didn't notice at first as it seemed as if I was just experiencing nightmares //(Session 74)//. Cierra hired a scribe to copy the Palimpsest //(Session 80)// which the demon did not like one bit, but the main goal of the Palimpsest was not forgotten and it took copies made by a scribe //(Session 82)//. When Cierra called to discuss it, I tried to grab the originals from the tower, but she had taken them to the trap to exorcise me - the demon was successfully exorcised. I got seriously hurt in the process but at least its over now //(Session 84)//. ---- Protect my Turf ---- While I was possessed, I invited Christine Metz to a private dance performance. She's stuck her nose in my turf long enough, its time to deal with her //(Session 75)//. I've rented a dance hall for the 'performance' and gave a date and the address to her //(Session 76)//. I set up some traps, but I'm not strong or big enough and got caught in my own trap //(Session 77)//, but Dwayne, Lindsey and Marcus managed to set up the traps properly, so all looks set! //(Session 78)// Despite the proper setup though, the trap failed spectacularly and I barely got anything off on Christine, while she took me captive. My connection with the Prince saved me, but the trap failed due to betrayal by Marcus. The Prince did settle things with Christine //(Session 79)// but she was somewhat displeased, so I'll need to get something special to fix that. //(Session 80)//. ---- Relic ---- I spoke with Cierra about what to do with the Relic and she did insist on needing the information on the scroll. I'm not sure, but I may have a way to sort everything out //(Session 86)//. I found Penny Garfield might be able to help, but she wants a favour with Cierra in return, or possibly for burning an archive of some kind. I may need to be careful with her and the Palimpsest //(Session 87)//. Cierra has agreed to meet with Penny //(Session 89)// and I got Penny's contact information from Ravena to Emily to make an appointment by the end of the year //(Session 90)//. Isaac returned to New York, which means he might be able to help out as well //(Session 92)//! Isaac inspected the palimpsest, and Penny managed to extract the text Cierra needed, saving the relic. Cierra was happy and she promised she'd send the palimpsest to the Empire State Building for me to tend to //(Session 94)//. The relic was indeed delivered to me at the Empire State Building, where Mr. Worthington took care of its protection. I talked to Reverend Jonah about how to get it where it needs to go - the Church. But I've not found a way to handle that yet //(Session 96)//. I arranged a writ confirming the age and nature of the Palimpsest from the scribe who researched it //(Session 98)//. I tried sneaking the Palimpsest into the ROCOR building, but that really isn't my skillset. Luckily Dwayne was able to deliver it and make sure it arrived safely. Now all I can do is pray //(Session 100)//. My faith was proven true when the church accepted the relic //(Session 104)//! ---- Blood of the Aftermath ---- I got seriously hurt while protecting Marcus after the demon was exorcised //(Session 84)//, and I have had to take a lot of rest, first remaining in bed, then doing only very light observation activities and nothing too serious //(Session 85)//. I seem to be doing a lot better now though I still have hidden bruises. I suppose it will have to do for now, I have obligations and I cannot stay in bed any longer //(Session 86)//. With so much blood spent on healing, I got really famished after my performance, but I've already fed too much on my herd. I looked around the Empire State Building but they couldn't really help me. The prince did suggest I ask Lindsey for help //(Session 93)//, which she did, guiding me through finding some extra food at the Rotary //(Session 94)//. I had to ask Lindseys help again, but I think I finally managed to find the blood I needed despite the nativity fast //(Session 95)//. ---- The Tamara Problem ---- The upcoming Elysium will be at the opera, so Carol, Tamara and I went shopping for gowns. The demon that possessed me got a gown to one-up Tamara and show her who's boss, and made her pay for it! //(Session 74)// With the demon in control, I stayed at the opera and kept an eye on Christine Metz and staying with Tamara for a bit. Afterwards, it was able to spend time with the Prince and gloat to Tamara! The demon considered Tamara a major problem, so while it controlled me, I tried to get her in trouble with Mr. Worthington and failed rather badly so I borrowed her credit card - whatever I buy will be purchased in her name //(Session 75)//. I made some purchases and orders in her name and snuck the card back in her room //(Session 76)//, and I confirmed the skunk order //(Session 77)//. The skunk finally arrived and sprayed Tamara's room, leaving her quite distraught. Unfortunately, the Prince gave her a spot in her room, but I managed to put a stop to that. //(Session 80)//. After some efforts, the Prince discovered the purchase was made with her own credit card and she kicked Tamara to the curb //(Session 83)//. ---- Reestablished HarmonyBetrayal ---- Tamara caSomeone told Mr. Worthington about the demons plans. Marcus was also photographing people, trying to capture me on film during the Elysium. Suspicious, he is up to something, as is Tamara, so the demon kept an an eye out //(Session 78)//. Marcus betrayed me against Christine Metz. The demon now sees him as an enemy, so it made me rat him out to Carol for not properly fulfilling his favour //(Session 79)//. He actually expects me to act nice to him, but I gave him the cold shoulder //(Session 80)//. I heckled Marcus when he presented a show in Elysium, and he attacked me by to ask my help due to issueshrowing his hat at me. Turns out the Keeper might not be entirely impartial, as instead of getting support from the Keeper, she accused me of causing trouble and challenged me. When I challenged her back, she physically threw me out of Elysium, so I left a message at her home. I decided to stay away from home for a few nights and Lydia de Witte kindly allowed me to stay in one of her houses while I regrouped. She gave me some money for clean clothes and asked me to visit the Prince which I agreed to do //(Session 82)//. I finally returned home and managed to charm the Prince. We fondled around some and I sat on her lap and she forced the Keeper of Elysium to apologize next Open Elysium and sent some people after Marcus to deal with her im, as the harpies handled his betrayal //(Session 83)//! The harpies ruled Marcus still owes me a favour, but we'credit card' after the Demon Incident. //(Session 89)//. I spoke with Mr. Worthington about it, thoughre otherwise good. I think we can leave it at that //(Session 85)//, and the Keeper finally apologized to me in Elysium, making sure to let everyone know I was too afraid to admit I ordered the skunk - under possession of the demon, but still //(Session 90)//. I finally admitted my guilt to Mr. Worthington //(Session 91)// and I managed to get Tamara back into the Empire State Building: the Prince said she could stay! Christmas cheer for everyone //(Session 92)//! I askedpossessed. I am such a priest to bless the rooms in the Empire State Building but when I checked with the prince, she was rather miffed about the whole thing. I managed to reduce it to just my room, but it was not my intent to upset her //(Session 99)//. I messed up again shortly after when I invited Miss Eslinger to perform for the Prince - it wasn't what she had hoped for and expected, and frankly it wasn't quite what I had hoped either //(Session 100)//. The priest didn't cause any hassle when he blessed my rooms, but Tamara wasn't very pleased the prince had allowed it, so this whole thing has been such a mess... I need to do something to make up for all of this //(Session 101)//. Tamara also seems worried about the Prince's mood, so more may be going on //(Session 105)//. After working some negotiations for the Prince (and almost dying), the Prince spent time with me and she no longer seems to be angry //(Session 109)// - that was finally confirmed when she took me on a date and kissed me //(Session 112weak and horrible person... //(Session 86)//.
