---- Other Arrivals ---- I was introduced to [[setting/Michaella]], the prince of New York, together with three other new arrivals, [[setting/Dwayne Thompson]], [[setting/Isaac Franklin]], and [[setting/Kevin White]] //(Session 1)//. After working together on some matters, [[setting/Kevin White]] was kind enough to give me a 'Page', a device that does something. I think its supposed to deliver messages or something. Luckily, I also managed to secure an address for [[setting/Dwayne Thompson]] //(Session 8)// and for Kevin //(Session 9)// and [[setting/Isaac Franklin]] as well. We should now communicate much more easily Some time later, [[setting/Lindsey Barnes]] arrived in New York and I tried to help her out. Shes a tad frustrating but I think deep down she's a good person, and in the end her introduction went off without a hitch, so looks like we have a nice little group now! //(Session 10)// ---- Party Business ---- Lindsey needs a loan to get her business started, and I agreed to help her out when she asked //(Session 12)//. We visit [[setting/Cierra Enestine]] and I helped her secure the loan //(Session 13)//. I helped Kevin to get better at expressing himself - he really did need some help //(Session 18)// Lindsey opened her business, the [[setting/Manhattan Automobile Maintenance]]. I attended the event of course! //(Session 19)// ---- Imports ---- [[setting/Nicholas Dejesus]] wants me to arrange for an import via [[setting/Lucrezia Giovanni]]. He gave me an envelop which I had the staff deliver to the car, but it disappeared //(Session 29)//. Lindsey has some problems with imports as well, and I join to help her out //(Session 33)//. I meet someone named [[setting/preecha_klahananong|Pancake]] and acquire a chinese dress in the process, as I help Lindsey deal with the Triad to eventually resolve the misunderstanding //(Session 34)// Afterwards, I realised the money Nicolas gave me was gone and he was pretty angry with me, but I managed to get the issue resolved anyway. I now owe Lucretia though //(Session 35)// ---- Sad Days ---- I was having a very hard day and Lindsey and Dwayne both came by to check in on me. Lindsey and I talked the next day. She told me about the death of her husband and we shared sorrows. //(Session 43)//, //(Session 44)// I accompanied Lindsey to a war memorial on the day of her husbands death. We cried together. //(Session 46)// Later on her wedding day, we went shopping together. I think she's feeling better! //(Session 47)// ---- Lindsey's Training ---- I am helping Lindsey to have a better Presence //(Session 43)//, //(Session 46)//. With some work, we managed to complete the training //(Session 47)// Soon after, I discovered Lindsey also does not know how to courtesy, and worse, she bows. That will need to be addressed //(Session 48)//. When arriving in Abu Simbel, I managed to teach Lindsey before we were presented to the Prince there! //(Session 59)// ---- Markus ---- A new arrival in New York, [[setting/Markus Chemnitz]] needs some help to get settled. The Seneschal asked me to help him out, so I introduced him to everyone present at his introduction to the Prince //(Session 67)//. I informed Markus about the location of the Elysium the next day and made some wider introductions around there //(Session 68)//. I helped took Markus to see Cierra and het got a mission from her to earn some money //(Session 69)//. Turns out Markus has plans with Lindsey which may involve assassins? I translated some Italian for him, but I am going to stay well away from that! //(Session 70)// Markus got me to translate more Italian for him, this time words from his Sire. There was also a letter for the Prince which we got to him, and he owes, by virtue of is Sire, a favour to Lidia de Wit //(Session 71)//. After I became possessed, Markus needed some latin books translated, and the demon helped out in exchange for a favour, he also helped to diss Tamara //(Session 77)//. ---- Discrimination ---- Lindsey apparently has a thing against Nazi's and she's very vengeful about it. She said additional mean things to me, which really hurt my feelings //(Session 62)//. I went to thank Mr. Gottschalk for loaning his plane and he was very angry for some reason, maybe Lindsey angered him somehow. I also tried to arrange an Elysium to bring everyone closer together, but Carol effectively said no... //(Session 64)//. Dwayne and I tried to talk about culture, but were interrupted. Later at Elysium Marcus Gottschalk and I managed to get things figured out - some Jews put listening equipment on his plane, but he realized it wasn't my fault, luckily. I set a date to go shopping with Gabriella and Fraulein Hoffman, the latter at the request of Mr. Gottschalk. I'll need some winter clothes as well as a new church dress //(Session 65)//. Turned out in the end I went with Fraulein Hoffman as Gabriella was still upset with me over getting Clara... Regardless, I got the new clothes I needed and Mr. Gottschalk is probably happy. Dwayne also took me to a Black Jazz-Club and we danced, I think we're getting a better understanding of each other //(Session 66)//. I tried to give the cold shoulder to Lindsey, but she seems entirely clueless - she probably doesn't care about me at all //(Session 67)//. I did it again at the Elysium. Maybe she'll get the message now //(Session 68)// Lindsey finally seems to have gotten the message at the next Elysium - she doesn't even care //(Session 72)//! Lindsey eventually apologized, but by then I was possessed by a demon, so I suppose whatever happened matters little for now //(Session 74)// ---- Religious Party ---- After seeing the demons destruction in hellfire //(Session 84)//, Marcus asked if he could come visit my church, so I had him come along to attend service for the Presentation of the Theotokos at the Temple //(Session 85)//. After talking about it during Elysium, I learned Dwayne has his own church with their own customs and I asked if I could join him there. Lindsey meanwhile joined Marcus and myself for service on Sunday and I borrowed a headscarf to her //(Session 86)//. Marcus joined church again today, maybe he is feeling the light //(Session 89)//? Dwayne finally agreed to let me visit his church //(Session 101)//, and after Carol agreed as well, we set a date for next Sunday //(Session 102)//! I visited Dwayne's church and got a chance to chat with the other churchgoers. They are a very active and happy community, I like them! //(Session 104)// ---- Unacceptable ---- Marcus came by the School of American Ballet. I have no idea why, but I wasn't at all convinced that he came there to dance. This is a serious school! He did apologize afterward //(Session 91)//. Marcus came by to give me a necklace as a belated Christmas present, but turns out he is a Bolshevic! I don't want anything to do with him now //(Session 92)//. Marcus sent me a packaged, but I left it unopend and I asked Dwayne to give Marcus his gifts back. Marcus tried to confront me, but I walked away and he persisted. Luckily Tamara was able to save me //(Session 95)//. Marcus did not go to Church again for a while //(Session 96)// but then suddenly showed up again out of the blue. I avoided him there, I don't want to jeopardize it if he found religion //(Session 98)//. Marcus came and rudely interrupted at Elysium again today, despite me being clear about not wanting anything to do with him. Nicolas had a talk with him and when I spoke with him, Nicolas assured me he doesn't like Communists either //(Session 99)//. While speaking with Carol, I learned there may have been a misunderstanding surrounding Marcus //(Session 106)//. At Elysium I spoke with Marcus and he explained he was a victim as well, being forced to list his name... these people are just too horrible, but its not Marcus fault if he had no choice, I suppose //(Session 107)//. ---- Coney Island ---- 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)// ---- New Business Ventures ---- 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 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)//. 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)//. ---- Party Feyvors ---- Marcus came to Elysium with strange runes on his forehead. How on earth did that happen!? //(Session 115)// Dwayne seems to have spotted an opportunity now that we're in the Hedge - he wants to get a fairy-blessed sword. I took him to meet [[setting/Lady Cliodhana]] who is apparently an expert in Oath weapons //(Session 122)// Dwayne managed to win the joust much to the chagrin of the Duchess of Winter, though he had to break his disguise of Tyrone for that //(Session 123)//. I helped arrange for him to take an oath in front of the Nightmare Queen and the Duchess of Fall gave him the sword in return for it. He is never to drive a metal vehicle, or he will lose his sword again... and whatever curse the Duchess of Fall might bring Though I am still not sure how Marcus' strange runes happened in the first place, the matter seems to have been solved in the Hedge... in a rather gruesome manner I'd rather not think about //(Session 124)// ---- Shootout ---- Dwayne asked for my help with what I'm guessing is a business conflict of some sort? Men are always so dramatic about such things, naturally I was happy to help. When the man suddenly accused Dwayne of shooting his cousin, I panicked and ran out to cry, only to see men with guns running in from all sides //(Session 155)// I tried to get away but Lindsey was holding me and I lost track of everything //(Session 156)//. The hostage takers let Lindsey and me go, though they did not release Jason. I hid in my bedroom under the care of Tamara and Carol and Emily after... //(Session 157)// After I took some time free to recover, Jason was returned safely, much to my relief //(Session 158)//. I had a bit of a relapse which was to be expected, but if I hide all the feelings away, I'm sure it'll go away //(Session 159)//.
