---- Go to Egypt for CierraStorm ----
Cierra wants us to go to Egypt to pick something up for her. //(Session 44)// I arranged air transport via Markus Gottschalk and manageA storm is raging through New York and I've been restricted from visiting the church //(Session 70)//. Ballet lessons were hard to get to as well as the storm continues //(Session 71)// After some introductions arranged working with Dwayne via Nehbet //(Session 45)//. Wetime, the storm finally flew to Egypt and arrived in Cairo //(Session 47)//. After a brief stay we continued to Luxor where we met Faysal, a reasonable man who arranged for some contacts for us in Sharm El Sheikh where would have to go to pick up our package //(Session 55)//. After a detour past Abu Simbel and Alexandria to see the sites, we travelled to Sharm El Sheikh to pick up our package, and we were presented to the Prince there //(Session 60)//. The package consists of ancient palimpsest scrolls. We managed to extract them from an intimidating room in Mount Sinai //(Session 61)// and out of the country //(Session 62)//. After a brief detour to Tel-Aviv, we finally arrived in New York and handed over the chest with palimpsest scrolls to Cierra //(Session 63)//. I sent a letter of thanks to Mr. Gottschalk as he wouldn't receive me for some reason //(Session 64)//.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)//.
---- RelicThe Tamara Problem ----
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 haveThe upcoming Elysium will be at the opera, so Carol, Tamara and I went shopping for gowns. The demon that possessed me got 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 withgown to one-up Tamara and show her and the Palimpsest //(Session 87)//. Cierra has agreed to meet with Penny //(Session 89)// and I got Pennywho's contact information from Ravena to Emily to makeboss, and made her pay for it! //(Session 74)// With the demon in control, I stayed at the opera and kept an appointment by the end of the year //(Session 90)//. Isaac returned to New York, which means he mighteye 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 able to help out as well //(Session 92)//! Isaac inspected the palimpsest, and Pennypurchased 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 extract the text Cierra needed, saving the relic. Cierraput a stop to that. //(Session 80)//. After some efforts, the Prince discovered the purchase was happymade with her own credit card 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)//!kicked Tamara to the curb //(Session 83)//.
---- Blood of the Aftermathetrayal ----
I got seriously hurtSomeone 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 throwing 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 protectingI 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 after the demonto deal with him, as the harpies handled his betrayal //(Session 83)//!
The harpies ruled Marcus still owes me a favour, but we're 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 exorcised //(Session 84)//, and I have had to takepossessed. I am such 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 longerweak and horrible person... //(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)//.
