Toreador antitribu Vincent Ledoux visited the Black Sun Marina Nightclub to speak with his clan mate Lucien Corbin, to negotiate some sort of deal between the two. TThe Theater of the Uncanny does not wish for war and is prepared to negotiate to let the Anarchs live in South Beach - with the caveats that the Theatre and therefore the Sabbat remain the primary controlling force in the neighborhood.

Thomas Blackwood, Lazlo Dalca, and Lucien are divided in how this deal should be considered, and no decision was made.

Meanwhile, Anubis was waylaid by a Sabbat pack and was nearly subsumed by a blood bond once again - thankfully, Eleanor, Tuck, Lucien and Thomas were able to rescue her before too much harm came to the Malkavian.   In the Everglades, the Tzimisce Seeker has planted her seeds - the Kupala has already begun to warp the environment around where she let her blood fall, and will soon flourish into a bane filled landscape should the Mokole and other fera allow it to fester.   In the human world, the morning began with a polar bear plunge that was held in the sea off the coast of Miami (though the sea is a chilly 60 degrees Fahrenheit, it's nowhere near as cold as what it could be in places like Michigan). The winner was a young man from Maine, vacationing in Miami who immediately made an ass of himself by trying to cop a feel of the bikini-clad girl handing him a trophy.   Most everyone online agrees that he was using his position as both a tourist and the most athletically accomplished (I mean, he was getting a medal) to misbehave, but who knows the true story?   Whatever the case, his name is forgotten by sunset, the news cycle already having moved on to the heartwarming story of a local celebrity helping save two kittens who fell into a drain pipe.   The sun sets, and the nightdwellers rise.
