A mysterious ice festival overtook the Upper Eastside, drawing in Kindred and Kith alike. A few had a snowball fight, but more made it the meeting place to talk about most concerning events in their community.   The duel between Adam Vexing and John ends with the Mokole losing, though in a frenzied rage he almost kills the Garou in retaliation – The Alpha of Alphas, Tom Salvia, freezes Adam with just a stare allowing Galliards , Lou and Thoth, alongside Mother-son Corax pair, Rachel and Nate, help to control the rage within the lizard folk, and the rest of the evening passes (mostly) peacefully at the caern. Many of the fera get drunk, but thankfully there are no more fights. An impromptu arm-wrestling competition ends with Claire Harper , the young Glasswalker Philodox emerging as ‘Queen of arm wrestling.’   Thomas Blackwood began therapy with Wolfgang, and they meditated together, though Thomas was admittedly fidgety and found it difficult to concentrate on. But Wolfgang made some progress in other areas – specifically with convincing Corneliu to help him non-lethally contain the Asakku of Miami. Corneliu only agreed because he could tell that this was a passion of Wolfgang’s, and not some whim.   Meanwhile, Anubis finally admitted to herself that she may have feelings for the old Tzimisce, though she has yet to admit it to Corneliu. Alexa play "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"   Gabriel and his friend the Paladin began to search the abandoned cars for some sign of what is taking the mortals from the roadways, but there was not much that they have found at this junction.   Seph  the fairy was visited by a strange chimerical cat, who warned her that she was dooming herself by staying with Lucien. When she refused to change or leave her fiancé, it cursed her to drain the life of those around her to survive, much as her love does. She has not admitted what happened to Lucien, nor does she plan to.   Downstairs, there are plans to potentially institute the child-like Leon as the new Baron of Miami, which of course he does not agree with. But then again, if the others give him that power, it’s not likely he will turn down the appointment.   Ian the garou has finally met his equal! A woman by the name of Rebecca Bythesea, his equal both in passion and in tenacity has given him hope for his future – but how will he ever tell her what he is? Only time will tell.   A freehold was overtaken without a shot fired! Imogen Courtney has brought the Eastside Freehold  to its knees, and has plans to make it truly her own – meanwhile, her public persona has had nothing but praise thrown at it. Which one is the true Courtney? Was she forced to act ruthlessly to hold onto her power, or is she truly a sadistic parasite?   It is a full moon tonight, dangerous for most werewolves, but particularly those cursed with Luna’s madness when her power is strongest. It will be a rough night for those individuals.   The Miami Heat are down on the court! Miami Heat vs. Toronto Raptors is going on, tickets on sale now! The high octane sports are sure to get the blood pumping.   Meanwhile, a beach rager is going on in South Beach, with enough alcohol to bring down a bear, let alone a human, and drugs to make even the most mundane stories jump off the metaphorical page – come by the bonfires to get some great homespun Glamour.   The sun sets over the shore, and the dead awake. Time to feed once again.
