Night Nine
Night Nine
Ok this one coming more from my poor memory then the recording do to making an attempt to play some music with the same laptop and not having any luck with it. So I may make a few mistakes here, there and every were, please bare with me.
I give Hugh and Hannah the dreams that I had made up for them. The rest of them wake up normally and start their night. Victoria goes over the new e-mails, Paul has some delivery, Gracey starts to call and find out who is doing what. They all straighten out what the plan is and meet up at Victoria’s place. Once at Victoria’s place she start to tell them about the weird e-mail that Thomas got from Stacey and Hugh pipes up with the fact that it is his sire. They talk more about what there sire have been doing with them.
They fight over what they know and what they don’t know. They start to put the pieces together as to what is going on. There ended up being a small fight between Paul and Victoria and the between Paul and James, then James and Hugh get into it. While they were doing this Hannah actually made conversion about the dream with Gracey and then Victoria heard about it and started to ask questions. Not getting very far as James and Hugh continue to fight sort of. With a few failed dominate rolls later and some just plane talking. They get it more or less straight they head to the warehouse that Victoria, Hugh, and James were at the last night trying to get through the steel wall. Once there they find that it has been the site of a small explosion and fire. They do a quick look around and move on from the warehouse to the library that was in an e-mail that Thomas had gotten that Victoria was getting copies of. They continue to talk with each other about how this all doesn’t make much sense to them. (OOC a few of them complain about all of the road block I put up in front of them and how many story hooks are out there.) They do after talking over how likely it is that this will lead to any thing make it to the library and break in. Of course the first place Victoria goes is the computer system, she finds what books Thomas had order and they were older religious texts that Hannah informs them that this has been the subject of his research for some time. Enter Riley Corgan: as he enters the room they are all in, he has his fangs out and claws extended and is a sight to be seen. Victoria asks his name and it is given freely. (We make a short side trip to clear up that Thomas is dead and that he is Stacey’s sire making him Hugh’s Grand sire.) They have some more conversation about what has been happening in the past week, weather or not what they have been doing is in their best interest or that of their sires. They get some of what is happening on the larger scale in the city with Vern and Jacob. Though they haven’t done anything useful are harmful one way or the other yet they may want to choose sides in the battle to protect them selves later. Riley doesn’t show much of a care one way or the other, but he does tell them about Vern’s future plans of clean the city of the unworthy. This is the end of any productive play this night as they all talk a little about what they have learned and head for home.
I ended this night of play early so that we could have time to talk over were they want the game to go. They also told me about what information they feel they need in order to enjoy the game. I sense start this game have had a fear of what I call the “white limo†syndrome, lead the character by the nose, so much so that they feel the game had lost all direction. That the world was happening around them not that they were part of it, they need thing to affect them more directly. Hearing what they feel is need to get the game on track was a good thing I hope that in the next few nights it will start to pay off in their eyes. I am also trying to get more of the background information about the NPC to them so they is what is happening better.
Well we shall see what happens. I start night ten last week to prod them into doing something.
