ily 2004 vampire the masquerade bloodlines. 

Ily janky ass unplayable combat mechanics and rushed ending levels entirely dependent on combat. Ily people trying their goddamn best to translate the pen and paper rules over to video game rules and still not Quite getting there but still having some things good to show for it. ily grungy disgusting streets and alleyways and sewers and warrens and bars and murder scenes and the strange people that inhabit them. Ily Confession and Asylum and Asp Hole and Last Round, and how distinct the bars are from each other aesthetically. Ily goth and punk fashion and music inspiration. Ily fangs showing in vampire npcs as they speak. Ily the absolute shitshow LA is and that you can see how the city is being pulled apart by the goddamn seams because of the brewing tensions and that no matter the outcome, the city loses.  

I love you John DiMaggio's performance as Smiling Jack and his behind the scenes scheming and meddling and violence. I love you Grey Delisle’s performance as Jeanette and Therese and the reveal of the sisters for first time players. I love you incredibly animated character performances in both voice and character model, leaving iconic and lasting impressions from multiple characters. I love you detailed monster designs from Ming Xiao’s cephalopod war form, Andrei’s draconic Zulo form, the many szlachta of the sewers and their small details people would otherwise miss but are still there regardless, and Zygaena’s hammerhead shark hengeyokai form. I love you Pisha and her weird little organ pit in the abandoned hospital. I love you zombies in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery whose presences are never really explained. I love you ghouls who are both normal and Freaks: Mercurio and Knox and Romero and Vandal. I love you Nines' faint country accent. I love you Chunk <3

I love you asshole women Imalia and Damsel and Therese. I love you bitch men Gary and Isaac and Beckett. I love you Lacuna Coil playing during the credits. I love you Lecher Bitch playing in the Last Round. I love you Bloodlines Theme and the rest of Rik Schafer’s album. I love you Deb of Night. I love you utter terror of the Ocean House Hotel ghosts and Griffith Park werewolves. I love you malkavian insight and nosferatu isolation. LaCroix. I love you Rosa and her prophecies and the replayability of the game from both a clan and informed context perspective

#anyways i finished my fifth replay of the game and have emotions #vtm #vtmb #vampire the masquerade #Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines #vtmbposting

[vampire-the-askerade]

Vampires reacting to a fledgling that still loves to cook even after being embraced. Their cooking is to die for at a mortals standpoint.

Therese- She enjoys that you still have something so human that you like to do. Sure, she doesn’t think clinging onto too much of your humanity is good thing. But, most people are too quick to get rid of too much of it. Also, you are now the only vampire that Vandal likes because if you’re hanging out and more importantly cooking around Therese, he’s the one most of the food goes to. He especially appreciates it around three o’clock on his late shift.

Bertram- He loves that you cook. Not that he can eat any of it. Mostly, he still likes to smell it. Also if he’s somewhere that you can cook at, it means he’s not stuck in the silo. Knox loves getting your food too. Bertram basically uses it as dog treats. Do this thing, and we’ll give you free dinner.

Jeanette- She loves to watch the whole process of it. And, if you can get her to focus on anything that’s not related to the club or tormenting her sister, then she is truly invested. Will constantly be asking you how you do things and where you learned to do them. Once again, Vandal gets the food. Though, if he’s getting things from both Jeanette and Therese, then it’s starting to become a problem. Not one he’ll complain about. But, he used to eat from the same container of takeout for a whole week, and now he hardly has room in his fridge for everything.

Isaac- Doesn’t feel like it’s a good or a bad thing. Just unique. Most kindred would have dropped something like that pretty quickly. But, then again, seeing how good you are at it (he thinks. Not like he can try it really.) it does make sense that it might be a habit or even a comfort action. Will often have Romero take some so he doesn’t have an excuse to leave the graveyard. He doesn’t need to have a stranger cover his shift so he can go get something. He has perfectly good food right there.

Ming Xiao- So, as a Kuei-jin she can actually enjoy your food from time to time without too much hassle. She is impressed you can still cook so well without really being able to taste things anymore. Of course, if you cook often enough and more than she can eat, she quite literally has an army of people that would appreciate the change in menu.

[meatcrimes]

had a dream that dbd got the vtmb license so the new survivor was knox and the killer was jeanette and therese called “the twins” because apparently dbd forgot they already had a killer called the twins and they didn’t edit this until the mid chapter patch to say “the sisters”. the naming was causing issues in the code too so charlotte and victor were showing up as random textures on any map with jeanette/therese as the killer and this went on live servers because bhvr said fuck twins

Hello! 29 and 30 for the writer's wrapped ask game? :)

29 - Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

I already answered this one here, but while I’m thinking on it, this was also a favorite line of mine, the inscription Webster writes on the inside of the book he gives Verity when they say their goodbyes in Chapter 54 of In Defense of Chicanery, “Homeward Bound/Redemption Lies Plainly In Truth”:

To my friend~

May you keep your chin up and your pen moving until we see each other again. May your travels be kinder to you than Gulliver’s. May you never let your poetry die.

Godspeed to the day of your liberation.

With love, David

30 - Biggest surprise while writing this year?

Ooh, that’s a tough one. Maybe that I didn’t write as much as I thought I would? Unrelated to my fics, something that surprised me was that I started drafting two musicals in 2022, one in the summer and one just a few weeks ago, the latter of which is a more fleshed-out endeavor. Within my fanfiction, I think a big surprise was the character development of some of my OCs whose fics aren’t yet published. Therese Knox had a lot of good moments this year and I’ve been really finding her voice recently, but Kate August (who will soon be making her debut) had a total Renaissance of character and plot development.

Thank you so much for the ask, Dove!! 💕

Ghouls Being Dudes Part 1

ship: just ghouls being dudes (Knox Harrington, Vandal Cleaver, & Adriel Wrynn) word count: 827

Vandal kills a man and it’s shenanigans all the way down the board.

It was not the first time in Santa Monica that three men stood over a dead body literally red-handed with guilt, and by God, it would hardly be the last. Especially if these guys had anything to say with it.

"VANDAL, WHAT THE HELL, MAN?" Knox was currently gripping his hair as if the mind-blowing train of events that had transpired threatened to pop his skullcap clean off. 

"FUCK!" Adri had taken the splash zone seats, and baby, Shamu the murder whale had delivered. There was a clean arc of blood sprayed almost suggestively across his face, his eyes clenched and his nose scrunched. "My eyes! I think he's in my eyes!"

"Shut up! Both of you shut up!" Vandal was using his big boy voice, someone currently had to corral these idiots, and if it had to be him, so be it. "What is this, amateur hour? Have neither of you infants experienced a simple singular homicide before? WELL?"

"Why is that even a question, we spend this much time around you, don't we?" Knox was currently trying to hand Adri a wet wipe from the desk he found while he had been rifling through the hospital drawers. The Malkavian ghoul swatted in his general direction, making sputtering noises and smacking him once across the face before receiving his damp, limp prize. 

"It was rhetorical, Knox, goddamn! And he's still got my pen! Go get it!" Vandal pointed down at the corpse's neck area where the office supplies reached proudly for the heavens, not unlike the sword in the stone.

"I'm NOT goin-"

"Gimme that!" 

Knox was quickly beaten by Adri straddling the dead man, firmly grasping the pen and pulling it FREE!

… Of its cap, which remained lodged in the man's jugular. 

"You stabbed him with the BLUNT END??" Knox sounded equal parts exasperated and impressed.

"I wonder if I sucked on the end if blood would come out like a fucking Capri Sun-"

"Take it OUT that was an expensive pen. Janet's been trying to steal it from me for WEEKS, I won't give that bitch the satisfaction," Vandal was getting impatient now, crossing his arms, tapping his foot, the whole shebang.

"Respect the Pouch," Adri whispered as he yanked the pen cap out aND WAS THUSLY CROWNED KING OF ENGLAND AS ARTHUR PENDRAGON BEFORE HIM, ALL HAI-

"Stop fooling around, you guys! We gotta do something about this or-"

"Or Therese is gonna kill Vandal," Adri interrupted Knox, who was almost less enthusiastic about this as Vandal was. But only almost.

"THERESEISGONNAK- WHAT!? Why. Why me," Vandal blinked rapidly as he waited for an explanation that would successfully keep him from escorting the other Malkavian ghoul from the premises by his hair clip.

"Because it's on HOSPITAL GROUNDS, which will be traced back to YOU, which will be traced back to HER, which means she'll kill you, and you'll be DEAD DEAD DEAD!"

"SHUT UP!" Vandal slapped away the finger jabbed with each 'DEAD!'. "You know I'm taking you all down with me if I do," his tone was low and dangerous again, as it usually was.

"AW, C'MON! Why me too, man?" Knox whined as if they were teenagers to be grounded for egging the post office. 

"He's got a point, you think Therese isn't gonna tell Bertram and Malachi to make it look less embarrassing for her that we weren't all the way up Vandal's ass babysitting him?" Adri crossed his arms and nodded sagely. 

"Be the first time you'd be up ANY man's ass, wouldn't it, Wrynn?" Vandal taunted for absolutely no good reason other than that they were Malkavian probably.

"THE UNKNOWABLE ENTITY neglected to give me the proper bits for that, who am I as a faithful servant to question it? The very concept of me being a top is a grotesque crime against natu-"

"GOD you sound like Malachi now, help me drag him out back," Vandal hissed, snapping on some latex gloves and neglecting to offer any to anyone else. 

"Aw man, what are we gonna do THEN?" Knox prematurely wiped his hands on his pants and bent down to grab one of the corpse's legs.

"Car trunk trunk trunk..." Adri muttered under his breath as he took the other leg.

"NO WAY, REALLY?" Knox dropped the leg, setting the body off balance and propelling the other two to stumble nearly into a wall.

"Keep. Your voice. Down," came Vandal's usual low, but again, still very dangerous tone. "My car is already out back like it always is. We're just taking out some trash, hm? Some perfectly innocent little trash." 

"Hurry up, the innocent little trash is JACKED and heavy as fuck," Adri grumbled, shaking the leg he still held onto before Vandal scolded him to 'Stop that'. 

"Aw mannn, this SUCKS," Knox sighed, then proceeding to escort the corpse to Vandal's car like some sort of hearse valet.

[nightingaletrash]

the thing about Beckett and Mercurio being the only people you can absolutely trust in vtmb is that, unlike pretty much every other Kindred or Ghoul, they don’t have any hidden agendas. 

Beckett wants knowledge, he wants to understand why the Kindred exist and everyone knows it. He’s literally got nothing to hide, no hidden agenda he needs to manipulate you for. If he needs something from you, he’ll ask upright, and if you have a question that needs answering, he’ll try to answer it. Sarcasm may or may not be included depending on whether or not the question is stupid. And even if he doesn’t like or trust a Low Humanity Fledgling, he’ll still warn them not to open the Ankaran Sarcophagus. He doesn’t have to. He could have just left LA and left them to die. But he warns them anyway.

Mercurio is a businessman. He’s not involved in the details of the Camarilla, he just does as he’s asked, which is providing information and weapons. If you do right by him and not tell Lacroix about the astrolite, you can trust him to return the favour and help you out, even when you end up being on the run from his bosses. Screw him over, and you can trust him to get even.

Everyone else has an agenda, and even those who aren’t overtly political have no reason to believe that they can trust you not to turn things on them. 

We’ll get the obvious ones out of the way first...

Lacroix: tries to get you killed at the Sabbat Warehouse, then decides to use you as a means to frame Nines for Grout’s murder, and then as a means to obtain the Ankaran Sarcophagus, then tries to kill you when you discover his alliance with Xiao.

Xiao: plays like she’s your friend, reveals her alliance with Lacroix and her deception as Nines to make herself seem more trustworthy, tells you that Lacroix will betray you now that you know the truth (which she has directly revealed to you) and if you do side with her, she then ties you to the sarcophagus and leaves you to go into torpor under the sea.

Now the less obvious ones...

Nines is the Anarch leader in a time of political turmoil, with the Kuei Jin invading and the Camarilla deciding to set up shop in LA despite having been kicked out years ago. He needs an upper hand, an advantage. At the start of the game, he’s not got any political designs around the Fledgling because they’re still young and inexperienced and are struggling to keep themselves alive. He helps them out because they need the help. By the end of the game however, the Fledgling is powerful in their own right. They don’t necessarily need his protection anymore, but that means that they could tip the balance of power in favour of the Anarchs. If you choose the Autarkis/Independent ending, he even says ‘we sure could use you’ which earns him a middle finger from a Fledgling who is done with being used.

Nines’ intentions may have been good, better than most others in the game, but by the end of the game he’s got ideas that centre around the idea of the Fledgling as a weapon. He still has an agenda, and he’ll take every advantage he can get against the Camarilla.

Velvet Velour is among one of the most manipulative characters in the game, even if her intentions are good and she means well. Isaac describes her as being almost alive, and she’s always very kind to the Fledgling, to the point where she can even fall for them and write them poetry. But she doesn’t like violence, and doesn’t want to directly partake in it, so she’ll coerce someone else into doing it for her.  But she can’t be upfront about that fact. She can’t reveal any serious weakness because that’s dangerous for a Kindred. Especially to one she doesn’t know very well and hasn’t been able to gauge yet. Especially one working directly for the Prince and could turn any information over to him.

Velvet’s manipulations aren’t politically motivated, but rather she’s motivated by self-preservation. To keep her hands and conscience as clean as possible, while not exposing herself to potential threats.

If you have an Investigation of 3 or higher, you can call Knox out on his ‘Asian Vampire’ story and get him to confess that it was Bertram’s plan to use the Fledgling to take out the Cathayan spy; you can’t trust Knox because he’s a pawn, and you can’t trust Bertram because he will make a pawn out of you too.

The Voerman twins can’t be trusted because of their conflict. Therese has an agenda to advance her position in Santa Monica, but she tends to be relatively straight forward with the Fledgling about that. Jeanette’s agenda is to sabotage Therese, and she’ll use the Fledgling to do it. Therese’s objective is then to get rid of Jeanette, and possibly the Fledgling if they were complicit with Jeanette’s schemes.

Strauss tries to sway the Fledgling to the Camarilla, saying he wishes that Nines could see ‘the wisdom of the Camarilla’ and doesn’t take kindly to them hanging around the Anarchs. If you take the Plague Bearer job from Damsel and then speak to him, he sounds almost like a father who ‘isn’t angry, just disappointed.’ Maybe he genuinely believes that the Camarilla is the best place for a young fledgling, or maybe he just doesn’t want one more Anarch running around the place.

Gary Golden is, from the moment he’s named as a character, known to be a political trickster. He sells the same information he sold to Lacroix to the Giovanni, and when the Fledgling meets him, he uses Obfuscate to mess with them. And then, before he’ll tell you who he sold the intel to, he sends you to find Barabus in what is essentially enemy territory. He’s very open about the fact he likes messing with people, so you can trust him to do exactly that. And that means you can’t trust that he won’t mess with you too.

Speaking of Damsel... She’s very clear about being anti-Camarilla, and about using the Fledgling to get close to Lacroix and bring them down faster. She’s very forthright. But if you argue with her plan, say that you don’t want to go back to Lacroix - who may have Dominated you twice, demeaned and belittle you, and may have even thrown you out of the tower by that point - she just tells you that she doesn’t need another Kindred hanging around the bar. You’re in a unique position, might as well make the most of it. You could argue that the Fledgling agreed to the plan and knew what they were getting into but... they don’t. At most you know the bare basics of Kindred Politics. You know the factions, and you have the faintest grasp of what they all stand for, and nothing else. The Fledgling knows nothing about the intricacies of what they’re getting involved in, and what may be asked of them. Depending on your character, they might not even know much about politicking in general. Damsel sees an opportunity and decides to seize on it, never mind that this is a young Kindred who has no sire to teach them and is still getting their bearings in the world they’ve found themselves in.

I could say more about a lot of characters *cough*smilingjack*cough* but honestly this post is already longer than I planned. This isn’t me dragging any of these characters ofc. I actually really admire the level of complexity they all have and that even the ‘good’ characters are allowed to have flaws and hidden agendas, and not just the ‘bad guys’.

[polkadotpelican]

Trying to get✨ inspired ✨ so here are some VTMB scent headcannons

Sebastian Lacroix: Dior Sauvage cologne and tea tree oil, sharp and clean so you’re always alert when he walks into the room.

The Sheriff: Cool and dank, like the inside of a dark cavern.

Maximillian Strauss: Old books and the inside of a leather goods store, there’s a coppery smell of blood that makes you think somebody might have an open wound, but that’s just a thing with the Tremere.

Therese Voerman: Fresh linen and expensive ink, there’s a lingering scent of sweetness as well…

Jeanette Voerman: Store bought bubblegum and salt water taffy along with a dash of laundry detergent…

Bertram Tung: Like the car shop nearby, vehicle exhaust and the strangely addictive scent of gasoline along with the must of a well loved coat.

Knox Harrington: Like Old Spice and the best hair gel a college aged ghoul can afford.

Heather Poe: Smells like summer in a department store, newly bought clothes, strawberry lipsmackers, and sunscreen.

Mercurio: Cologne that’s slightly overwhelming but it’s just to cover up the chemical scent of gun polish and astroturf.

Beckett: Always smells like he just walked out of a pine forest, the earthy scent of dirt and crisp trees along with the smell of aging parchment and dust that lets you know he’s researching something again.

Nines Rodriguez: Has his own distinct masculine scent, it’s not bad, not like sweat or must, just smells like him, slightly salty and a hint of iron from his jewelry.

Damsel: Gunpowder and those spicy cinnamon candies, she’s spicy and wild, the scent of rebellion.

Skelter: A mix of strong deodorant that you smell when a brother pulls you into a warm hug and the comforting smell you get when you bury your nose in your dog’s fur after a long day.

Smiling Jack: Smells like he walked right off a pirate ship, tobacco smoke, scotch, and saltwater all in one.

Isaac Abrams: Like walking out of a Men’s Warehouse, fresh pressed suits and spearmint, there’s something comforting about his scent though, like riding shotgun in your dad’s car.

VV: Floral perfume and lace, if you lean in close you can smell the shampoo she uses for her colored hair.

Ash Rivers: Smells like his club, menthol cigarettes and cheap wine, but there’s a more personal scent to him that smells like aftershave and mint.

Gary Golden: Above the musty smell of catacombs and dust there’s a dry scent of money in a safe and old vinyl records.

Mitnick: Compressed air that you use for your keyboard, the smell of brand new technology in an old, unfinished basement.

Imalia: There’s a slightly plastic-y scent from her favorite magazines and posters, she wears a lot of perfume as well in an attempt to cover up the scent of her rotting skin.

Ming Xiao: Patchouli and licorice root, warm and alluring.

Vtmb to seeing your bra strap haning out

[Look, I have no idea what drove me to not only write this, but also for everyone, but the fates has deemed it to be so else it would bit be here at this time.]

Camarilla

LaCroix- The absolute scandal! "Make yourself decent at once!"

Sheriff- He doesn't care. Wear your clothes how you want to.

Strauss- Will discreetly tell you( walking up to you to say it quietly if there are other people in the room), "Perhaps you would like to go to the other room to adjust yourself."

Therese- Look, she's been there and gets it. Sometimes a bra just doesn't do what you want it to. Will point out the strap is showing and suggest you fix it, but won't be horribly offended if you don't.

Nosferatu

Imalia- Only cares if it's not cute/fancy. Literally will be like, "If you're gonna show people your bra, at least wear a nice one."

Mitnick- He will notice immediately but not know if he should tell you or not. He doesn't know if it would be ruder to tell you or to let it be. Doesn't know the protocol for such things at all.

Bertram- As soon as he notices the strap, he'll crane his head to see if he can catch a glance at more. He's kind of a creep like that. Will make a snarky comment about it.

Barabus- Will just tell you straight out. After all that he has seen, there's no way he's going to find a simple article of clothing offensive.

Gary- Actually gets a little flustered about it. Knows that he shouldn't, but there's just a part in his upbringing that screams that seeing something like that is horrifically embarrassing for all parties involved. Either way, he'll manage to grunt out, "Having problems there, boss?"

Anarchs

Jeanette- Yeah, she's not going to care. Have you seen her? Her whole bra is showing.

Damsel- Oh, no. Now everyone will know that you wear the same piece of clothing that like half of the population wears! Not only does she not care, she will also tell other people they're stupid for freaking out about it.

Skelter- Might point it out if he sees it. It's not like it bothers him, but he's concerned that you might get embarrassed about it.

Nines- If this does fluster you, it will still fluster him more. He thinks the best way to handle the situation is to pretend that your strap is not hanging out from your shirt. Regardless, he keeps looking at it. He almost can't help it.

Jack- can and will snap it when he walks by. Not in a creepy way at all. More of his inner child coming out when it sees an opportunity for unbridled chaos. It will happen every time he able to pull it off; which is often.

Independents

Vivi- Immediately offers to get you one that fits better. It doesn't offend her, more so it bugs her. Why would you wear something that gives you fits like that when you could easily get one that does its job better.

Ash- He has crazy, drunk fans in his club all the time. He's seen a lot more of people than a bra strap. In fact, he'll take the bra strap over any of the other things that he's seen.

Isaac- It depends. He thinks it's tacky but won't see it as much of a bother if it's just in passing. However, if you're with him or representing him in any way, he will promptly tell you to go fix them because then he feels that you are making him look tacky.

Beckett- You wouldn't think that he would notice because almost everything would still be business as usual. That is until one day you hear, "So, you're wearing the blue one today?"

Other

Ming Xiao- Won't say anything, but she will be judging. You don't look that perfectly put together 24/7 and not notice something like that.

Andrea- At least you have clothes. He's been the Arch Bishop of one of the most volatile places in kindred history, and coverage of any sort is not always a given with the ravenous, anger-ridden fledglings that he is often trying to corral.

Pisha- More boggled that you still wear a bra. There are so many, less restricting options out there for you to use. Even with this, she doesn't care what you wear really. Just giving you some food for thought since you were considerate enough to give her actual food.

Cain/ the cabby- What the hell is a brassiere?

Ghouls and Humans

Mercurio- For him it depends on how much he knows you. Doing the dirty work that he has both before and after becoming a ghoul, he’s seen a lot. But, there’s just something for him seeing it happen with someone that he knows that gets him flustered. He feels like he’s seeing something he’s not supposed to.

Heather- Why does that matter? Some shirts just show them reguardeless. She used to be worried about this because she came from a rather strict household, so it would have bothered her at some point, but not any more.

Knox- He honestly doen’t even know what that is. Is it a new style of shirt? Looks pretty cool, bro. Man, can he get one too so he can look as cool as you do?

Vandal- Hey, are those removeable? Can he have them? He needs something to strangle someone a few floors up and those fit the bill just perfectly. He’ll even give them back when he’s done because he’s just that nice.

Patty- Wow, she would never! She would say that she didn’t care, but wouldn’t drop it the whole time you were with her. At this point you have to let it stay down out of principle.

Romero- He would snap them as he walked by, but unlike Jack it would be really creepy and not in a fun teasing way. Just punch him really good, and he’ll stop.

Chunk- Uh, hey, there friend, are you aware that you’re a bit out of dress-code there? He’s going to have to ask you to fix yourself or leave. Sorry, just boss’s orders there, pal.

#there's no excuse for this #it's like 12:40 and I'm slightly sleep deprived #vtmb #vtmb imagins #im too tired to tag all the people here #sorry

First Bloodlines run - here’s how it worked out!

Didn’t get to actually finish - thanks, cutscene glitch - but I got to the last scene and I at least watched the Anarch ending on Youtube XD;; While I really do want to do at least two more runs, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to; either way, I mostly enjoyed my first run a ton!

More detail below the cut - how Sierra turned out as protag, and her views on other characters. I’ll write a separate ‘thoughts on Bloodlines as a game and its characters’ later on, this is just for Sierra’s run specifically.

So, Sierra as a character! Usually super high humanity - most drops were due to glitches or completely accidental (glitch - had to kill Hospital Guy because it flat-out wouldn’t let him escape, danced it back. Accidental - shot one of the hostages at Hollowbrook, felt horrible for it). One non-accidental one was convincing Ash to switch clothes with a guy at the club; she hadn’t expected the hunters to kill first and ask questions later. Yeah, also felt guilty about it. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy to put her at 9 for Humanity - she tried to help everyone she could, aside from those actively trying to kill her.

Ended up a much brainier character than I was expecting, which, uh, is usually what happens with my characters tbh. Still fits her character! She’s not scholarly (was a college drop-out) and prefers actually doing things than sitting still, but she’s clever and curious. Combat was usually almost always melee, because vampires with katanas are cool. High persuasion, she’s good at defusing a situation when fighting isn’t warranted.

Most-used discipline ended up being Animalism. Never did max out Protean :( Did use it a ton in dark areas, but mostly for night vision.

Sidequests - got a lot done. Failed three - Spiritual Release (sorry, ghosts :( ), You Only Die Once A Night (actually, I started this then died with 30 seconds to go, reset, and refused to start it again XD), and Dirty Dishes.

Missed or outright avoided Drug Trip, Trick or Treatment (Heather - the whole storyline with her bugs me), Daydream Believer (Copper is sweet, dammit, don't be mean!!), Replanting a Lily (never went back to the clinic after saving Lily), Traffik, And Her Name Was Venus/Venucide, Pimpin' for Romero, A Dish Best Served Cold (alas, you can’t convince the reviewer to give it a ragingly good review just to piss off SparklingWater XD), Model Citizen/Cover Girl, Poster Session, and all the Chinatown ones (I would have done Gone Fishin' if I had found it, refused Eye Gouge Hell, didn't encounter the others).

Character interactions - ended up ride-or-die Anarch. Part of that was that her literal first impressions were of Nines saving her life and Jack guiding her through how to survive a terrifying, bewildering situation, a lot of it was that she did start out as an activist in the first place, so falling in with the Anarchs was a natural continuation of that. Adores and looks up to Nines, felt horrifically guilty at the blood hunt, and was devastated when she thought he had died at Griffith Park. She was a mess after that (also a good part to do with rotschreck and spending a good five minutes or so trying really hard not to frenzy in terror), and it was only because of Jack that she didn’t fall apart completely. Jack is like the favourite weird uncle - she doesn’t know his involvement in the whole plot and I think wouldn’t quite understand why he set it in motion, but she really likes the impression he shows. Adores Damsel, and she’s not sure what to do with Skelter’s belief in the more religious aspects of stuff but likes him a lot too.

Aside from Nines, the other character she adores the most is Beckett! Her first words to him were literally, “Holy shit how did you do that that’s so cool can you teach me to do that?!”, she finds his adventures and knowledge absolutely fascinating, and she definitely started looking up archeological and anthropological stuff both for her own curiosity and to impress him XD

Other positive relationships - Jeanette is a bit complicated because of the whole Slashterpiece and pendant thing, but damn, at least she didn’t try to kill her like Therese did; while she wanted to reconcile the sisters, she was kind of relieved when Jeanette was the one who survived. Just found her more approachable and welcoming. Also definitely got drawn in by VV. She’s weak for pretty girls XD Got on great with Merc (despite the whole... Cammy thing), Knox, the Thinblood kids (who she hung out with a bunch while still in Santa Monica), Trip, Mitnick, and Ash (who she will fight people to protect). Chunk is a precious being who must be protected at all costs; at the Tower, she advised him that LaCroix was no good and he deserved better.

Complicated situations - initially did think Strauss was okay but her views on him soured fast when she learned about gargoyles. Isaac is mostly fine but they don’t have a lot of common ground, given her preferred genre is ‘loud action movies’ XD She can see why VV looks up to him, though, and felt quite sad about everything with Ash in general. Pisha scared her but she tried really hard not to judge, basically? I mean, predators gotta eat too... The cab driver bothers her for reasons she can’t articulate. Very odd man, that one. When she learned why the Southland Slasher was doing what he was doing, she felt sorry for him, and encouraged him to join the Anarchs for direction and a more positive outlet for his emotions.

Antagonists - mostly didn’t take pleasure in killing them, but she definitely felt pretty satisfied stabbing LaCroix >.> Will have nightmares for the rest of her unlife about Andrei’s house and the sanctum at Hollowbrook, the Mandarin’s tests, and the expression on Ash’s face when he talked about how much the Society of Leopold enjoyed torturing him. Gimble freaked her the hell out. And if she ever catches Vandal Cleaver alone, she’s going to flat-out kill him if she gets the opportunity.

For the future, I’ve been trying to work out how she and Lettow supposedly know each other (he mentions the fledgling as ‘a friend of mine’), given their opposing political views. I’m thinking their common ground would be that they’re both Gangrel; I can see them meeting by chance at some point, and Sierra requesting tutoring in Protean forms, which Lettow is pretty damn good at (she might be higher generation, 8th to his 9th, but he’s a lot older and more experienced).

Beyond that, info on her and her coterie can be found here! Yes, she fully appreciates the irony of dating a Garou, haha.

Embrace

Downtown I

Mary’s way more popular now that she’s undead. With a ghoul killer on the loose, she has to prove herself or risk not only her death, but those of her new friends.

Knox!! Jeanette and Therese! I love the Santa Monica gang, honestly. Changing things up regarding main quest stuff that goes down here, and a little nugget of set up for much much later. If people guess what I’ll be happy haha.

I wanna race to Downtown but alas pacing is a thing. Have fun and thanks for reading, lovelies!
