Miami Daily

The Anarchs continue to flood in - and there are already signs of conflict. A few packs have gone missing, and the bishops blame these new Kindred encroaching on their territory.   They have ordered their packs to not wait, but to kill suspected Anarchs on site... All except Coconut Grove. Bishop Freeman has demanded that the infiltrators be brought to him personally. Most Sabbat are aware of his reasons, but the newcomers... Well. They're just hoping they don't have to find out.   The Archbishop has not gotten involved yet, but rumors are that a culling is not out of the question. Everyone is nervous.   The sun rises, sets, and a new winter night in Florida comes to the city.

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.

The kindred of the city rest, after events of.. Peace?   Of we ignore the almost masquerade breech a Nosferatu made; that our gallant Anarch leader Lucien had managed to get her out of.   A the night fades into peoples memories; forgoing the night shifts as the world vibrates and becomes alive-   It, must set. As all Stars wither and fade..

Another moon rises and falls.   The usual calm of the night had been interrupted as sirens and alerts sounded through the city to warn those still out of danger on the streets. A brave group of supernaturals and even humans found themselves in a nest of those lost to their beast. Thomas and Count Corbin prepared for their big night meeting the Theater.   The first steps to convert a few of the rooms of the Parkway Regional Medical Center into a true Asakku lair has begun as formerly as formerly known as Kadenz brings more flesh for their work. Elsewhere the Garou and Fera have taken note of the corruption they brought and continue to prepare for their moves to eradicate this poison from the wilds.

While the storm raged, locking many people inside their homes, the last night was no less eventful. To begin with joyous news, the Golden Rose, Count Lucien Corbin, and the Amethyst Eshu, Persephone Blackwood, are now engaged! A romantic dinner, a tear-inducing proposal, and a night of passion have marked a tremendous new step in the lovebirds' lives.   Breaking news, Local Gangrel too angry to die, challenged the sun to a staring contest and won! Albeit at a high and unforeseen cost. Thomas Blackwood found the aid of a Garou, Loves-all-Things, and a new Changeling arrival, Noah, to make it to the Casa de la Rosa. Hoping to find refuge to heal in the mansion of his friend and his adopted daughter, Thomas snuck into a guest room to not interrupt the ongoing proposal. The poor man, a blackened crisp from his sun battle, found himself confined to the bed. Unable to turn off his heightened senses, he also found himself wishing he could be anywhere else as the oblivious owners of the Casa celebrated their new engagement.   On a different note, the night saw a marked increase in board game activity! The baby Malk, Anubis, and her adopted Dragons played Monopoly all night, having a relaxing evening together. While there may have been some awkward moments, it certainly improved over the evening. The Brujah trio, Late and the Thorns of the Rose, also enjoyed a game of Monopoly. Although the twins might grumble slightly at that last part as the gamble cost them a vintage Deadpool wallet and Perry the Platypus wristwatch. There's a lesson for you, folks. If someone tells you they won a condo in a hand of poker, do not gamble vintage items in a game of Monopoly with them.   Collin Vano , the Childe of Lazlo Dalca and a rather extreme individual, has arrived in the city. Collin met Ethan Ambrose tonight as everyone's favorite Salubri twink found some time to himself in a bar. What could Collin be here for? What did he mean by 'leaving calling cards?' Stay tuned and find out.   A Satanist and a Priest share a pew....no, folks, that is not the setup for a joke, although I am sure it would make a great one. Percival Kent and Father Gabriel Cassiel met in the Cathedral tonight. The unlikely pair discovered the other was a mage and had an interesting conversation. Percival Kent was a bit more double-sided, while Gabriel revealed some of his storied past. I must admit, my listeners, that I am rather intrigued to see how this partnership they have formed will play out. I've gotta say that I sense nothing but Good Omens about this duo, my friends.     Finally, the storm that so ravaged the city last night seems to have gone its way. While damage is evident in parts of the city, the skies began to clear around midday, and the sun started to peek through. Clean-up crews worked hard to clear up most of the damage, and once again, the streets are back open for business. The sun goes down, and the city becomes genuinely alive as the night owls flock to the clubs, shows, and other entertainment.

A surprise concert by Iranian singer Neveah in Coconut Grove goes wrong when the audience suddenly loses consciousness! Most of the media have spun it as something mundane, but the supernaturals know better.   A group containing the vampires Nora Quinn, Thomas Blackwood, Collin Vano, Anubis, Lucien Corbin , the fera Claire Harper and Silence, the mages Abby Harper, Percival Kent, and Deandre, and the Changeling Shayleigh rose to the occasion. They were able to resist the effects of whatever had decimated the crowd, realizing it had something to do with the singer on stage.   Fighting their way to the front, the group broke through the wards surrounding the stage and into the green room, finding a ward generator powered by a hideously oversized human heart. Claire, working from the Umbral side, cleansed the ward generator, and the heart exploded - coating Percival Kent and Abby in viscera. A guard almost discovered and reported the group, but Lucien was able to calm and dominate the guard to let them through without trouble.   Continuing on, the gang eventually found what they were looking for... somewhat. The source of the disturbance seemed to be the singer herself, and Thomas took it upon himself to unplug her. But she seemed unbothered by the silencing, sprouting elegant swan's wings and beginning to fly away. Silence tried to ground her but missed - and then the mages protecting Neveah and their ritual attacked.   Using sun and pure energy, the changeling Shayleigh and Lucien took direct hits. Lucien managed to shrug it off, but the sidhe baroness was almost killed by the blast. A third mage wove crystalline armor for Neveah to protect her as she fled. The fourth missed a shot into the gathered supernatural creatures.   As the Malkavian Anubis attempted to help drag unconscious audience members out of harm's way, the mages were soon confronted by more physical attacks than they could handle.   Two were killed by gunfire as Deandre leaped into action, using his leadership skills to absolutely decimate the opposition. Unfortunately, Thomas' attempt to ground Neveah went awry. Instead of imparting his beast onto her, he sent it into Deandre.   Lucien managed a 300+ yard shot with a pistol on Neveah as she fled in a remarkable display of skill and luck. However, the mage armor protected her from damage, and Silence successfully dispelled her magic. The two last mages decided to cut and run, squishing a human eyeball in their hands to cast an illusion of them teleporting while they snuck away.   Unfortunately, the supernatural creatures hunting them were able to see through this illusion. They slaughtered them as well before fleeing into the night - letting the mortal police handle the cleanup.     Brinn and the former High Priestess, Corinthia Banner, both arrived in the city tonight! After an arduous trek, the Shadow Lord and her baby, Csaba, arrived at the Sept, where Shredder was shocked to find that her pack had survived the Baltimore destruction as well. Putting it to Crow and Bat leading her to reunite with them, Shredder was extremely thankful for the news. Shredder then had a reunion with the lovable Lazlo Dalca, the two of them sharing a moment as they cleaned up the beach together.   Corinthia met a new vampire, the Warrior Settite Nicky, before having a very emotional reunion with her lover, Thomas Blackwood. While initially thinking the Gangrel meant to kill her for the misery he endured in Baltimore, Thomas was simply overjoyed that she had survived. The two retired to Lucien's private lounge in his nightclub so that they could catch up.   In another news, the Methuselah Corneliu found his way to the Metropolitan Pawn Shop on the quest to purchase a DVD player. He ended up leaving with a thousand-dollar watch as well.   It's safe to say, folks, tonight has been rather eventful. Only time will tell how the city handles the conflict.

The band’s getting back together!... hopefully. Silence and her Garou friends (The Sentinels of Nature) have met back up and are considering working together once again.   The Garou Claire, Brinn, John, and Silence talked about reforming their pack and are discussing totems. The women also invited the Mokole, Burns-with-Rage, into the pack and Claire helped him choose a human name, Adam Vexing. Tempers rose as John told Adam about having a best friend that’s a vampire and would need to be okay with it before joining the pack. Obviously, that did not go over well and there’s already some drama with a potential duel involved.   Burns also crafted a special Klaive for the leader of Beacon Solar at risk of being exiled from the Mokolè’s Sept.   Silence also met a new friend! At the sept, a little fox found it’s way into the building and lounged around for many an hour before slinking back out again.   Claire introduced her cousin Abby Harper, a mage, to Ian Stronghammer, the Alpha of the Roar of the Lion. The two hit it off and planning a date. He helped her get stuff for her apartment. They also ran into a new Fenrir, Vidar Ragehammer who is traumatized and been away from civilization for a couple years. Abby used magick to determine his injuries as well as popped his finger back into place.   Kani then healed Vidar completely, the Fenrir then immediately went into the Umbra to fight a Bane. The fight was tough, but Vidar was ultimately victorious.   It’s time for some vampiric mad science! Corneliu removed Thomas’ beast temporarily and put it in the gauntlets. But unfortunately that means that the gauntlets are angry and crave bloodshed now. That surely won’t have anything bad come of it…   Anubis met an old friend: Collin Vano, though once again Anubis did not fully recognize him – she really should have that looked at.   Wolfgang and Corinthia had a therapy session, though Corinthia as a Trujah was mostly unphased by her own trauma. Don’t worry everyone, Wolfgang doesn’t give up with difficult cases!   Ethan took some time to sneak into Mercy Hospital and steal some blood for his friends, the Tzimisce Kadenz and Seeker. He was able to get in and get out alright, but there may have been cameras watching (who knows). He and Seeker spent the last few hours before sunrise down by the water swimming before retiring for the evening back at the abandoned hospital outside of town.   Shayleigh was a very busy woman! Not only meeting with several changelings (including the alicanto Aea and the Eshu Danny Flynn), but managing her freehold with love and care. Gail the Boggan met with Danny and took him to meet her friend Eva Pendragon, a blind Sidhe who was happy to meet new friends, and even happier when she heard that her father, Mohammed, had met Danny before! They ended the evening having a pleasant cup of tea over the fire.   Neveah has finally made a public appearance, but her responses regarding the tragedy at her concert have been vague at best and callous at worst. There are plenty of supporters that say that she has nothing to do with what happened, but just as many people hold her completely responsible for what occurred, regardless of her actual involvement (or lack of involvement).   The sun rises, then sets again, and the children of the night stir again.

Another cold day passes in Miami. The clouds skitter across a deep blue sky all day with a constant breeze that bends the palm trees and swishes sand back and forth across the streets.   The kith are restless tonight with several of them meeting: Andreas met with both Chloe Abilene, a yoga instructor who also happens to be a satyr much like themselves and with Baroness Shayleigh May-Lee . The two of them invaded the Caribbean Marketplace and discovered a young Dreamer being harassed by an Autumn Person: the dreaded Karen.   Thankfully, the two of them were able to scare off the dangerous banal soul and even bought some shell necklaces from the high schooler, before parting their separate ways.   Shayleigh also met with Mohammed Pendragon and his daughter Clara, and the two of them made a deal: Mohammed would be an ally to Shayleigh and assist her in ruling her community, but in return she would teach Evan Pendragon  how to rule. Shayleigh readily agreed.   Speaking of Evan, he, Gail and Danny Flynn set off on their fetch quest. Though only just starting out on their journey to harvest materials from the Dreaming, they have already encountered their first obstacle and handily beaten it. They continue on, talking and enjoying this place of peace and relief for their fae souls.   Gail spent the first half of her evening, before meeting up with the other changelings, speaking to the priest Gabriel, questioning him about a man that she encountered at a pawn shop (the vampire Corneliu). Gabriel interpreted the vampire as a demon, which the faithful Gail agreed with. She even enchanted the mage so he was able to see her chimerical companion Glatistant, the questing beast. It was a moment of great shifting within Gabriel – and he went on to paint something magnificent to commemorate the moment.   Corneliu , on the other hand, went home after his strange encounter with the changeling girl and spent most of the evening talking with Anubis – who once again is happy to be his confidant. Could there be something more between them? Lucien certainly thinks so – and when he came to meet up with Lazlo for an evening drive, he did not hold back from teasing his old friend about the potentially budding romance between Anubis and Corneliu.   On another side of town, the vampires look to bring themselves to accountability for their actions. Thomas Blackwood  asked his good friend Wolfgang for help returning to the path of humanity, and in return Wolfgang asked for help subduing the Assaku girls: "Seeker" and Kadenz.   Wolfgang and Leon took some time both to feed, but also speak on the nature of vampires’ inherent morality. How that intersects with their need to survive and feed on humans. Wolfgang especially had a rough night, seducing a woman (or a few) to feed on before the sun could rise, and it left a distinctly bad taste in the professor’s mouth.   There are other vampires, however, who do not feel so strongly about such things. New arrival to the Miami scene, Dhakir the Setite, slunk into the Shining Moon Club and came face to face with party girl and general nuisance Missy Jeong. She entertained his advances for naught but a few moments before ditching him for some other man stupid enough to take her drugs for her.   Dhakir, witnessing Missy’s feeding, invites her to join the Setites. While reluctant, the promise of more intoxicants excites her enough to agree to show him around. As a sign of good faith, Dhakir brought another partier over to share with Missy. Unfortunately, the other vampire was not quite so cautious, and Missy managed to not only coerce the poor mortal into overdosing. Instead of letting the mortal die, Dhakir chose to ghoul her and left with a new friend in tow. Missy went on her own way, almost certainly to cause more trouble.   Not all were so lucky to escape the clutches of death this day, however. The mortal Gabriel received news of his mother’s passing and has shut down his shop temporarily to grieve her. While wandering the city in a state of shock, he met with the Brujah Corinthia Banner, who comforted him in the midst of his grief.   A mysterious figure has claimed their fourth victim, but hardly anyone seems to be looking for the source of this disturbance. Perhaps because Florida is already a place of such weirdness and mystery that a disappearance is as natural as seeing a gator unless a sink hole causes it, and then that’s just Tuesday. Still, it is disquieting to watch the body count rise.   Percival and the werewolf Vidar started out the night looking for the people who kidnapped the mage the previous night, but did not have much luck. There was little to go on, and both eventually joined with the other Garou who were investigating where the Mark came from.   After a false start at the Vagabond Motel (a truly dreadful, but mundanely dreadful place), they gathered outside of St. John Bosco Catholic Church . Though it seemed perfectly normal, Silence’s reconnaissance led to the discovery of a bloody basement full of dark magic and sorcery. The group was also able to determine that there were both guards inside and outside of the church… and that it was warded against their kind.   Claire attempted to enter through the Umbra and nearly got herself killed for it, far advancing her curse and rendering herself nearly useless in combat, and Vidar entered into the Umbra to speak to a magpie spirit. The spirit was able to give some useful information, but requested in turn that Vidar cease the shiny bell from ringing out.   Vidar agreed, and gave the magpie two items: one that belonged to his mother and one to his father. He begged the magpie to keep them safe, which the magpie agreed to.   Stepping back into the mortal world, Lou and Tito were nominated to go up and silence the bell. While their work went quietly, the rest of the team was not so lucky.   Finding the basement entrance was easy enough, but a church goer tried to stop them from entering and Claire stabbed her to death immediately, spurring the disguised security detail to spring into action.   Tito managed to distract the sniper, but unfortunately the others are not so lucky. Caught in a hail of silver bullets, it now becomes a question of who stays and who goes, and whether going means going beyond the veil.   They eventually fought their way to the underground crypt, finding it empty - abandoned by it's master. While they were able to break the curse upon their own, not only is their afflicter still out there, but now the hunters know of a massacre that must be investigated.

The moon gazes her full eye down upon Miami. Tonight is a full moon! Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heat came face to face. Meanwhile on the beaches of Miami.   Meanwhile, Changelings and Garou alike descended to the beaches of Miami to tell their tales to the Dreamers revelling under starlight on the beaches of Miami. Chloe Abilene, Deandre, Gail Knight, Chloe Abilene and Andreas met on the beach, as did Claire and Silence to part-ay. Danny Flynn amazed ecstatic eyes with his magic tricks, while Deandre met the ever flirtatious and alluring Satyr, Chloe Abilene. They danced and flirted and swapped contact info - Where might this tale lead us?   Earlier in the night, Silence met the Changeling Ghille Dhiu, Salix. The Changeling offered Silence a glimps into a world of Dreams unseen. While she may not remember it, the two becoming fast friends with hints of something more on Sally's end.   Also for our furry Fera friends, Lou learned how to sense the Wyrm and went on a small Chiminage for the spirit in exchange for the Chiminage - To find and acquire some magical mushrooms.   Not all is quite so well for the Fera in Miami, however. On the outskirts of the city, the evil forces of Pentex descended upon the local Mokole Sept. Armed with gold bullets, Quakes-the-Ground and Burns-With-Rage  turned their Archid forms upon the invaders, giving time for the rest of the encampment to flee. In his own rage and pain, the new arrival, Lucas experienced his brutal first change. Unfortunately, the encampment was ultimately lost, with the Mokole retreating to their Garou cousins Beacon Solar Sept for aid.   Elsewhere, the Thin Blood Ethan Ambrose  and the Asakku Tzimisce went an utterly adorable date on the streets of Allapattah . Filled with heart-to-hearts, hot chocolate and love. Not so lovingly, the other Asakku Tzimisce went out on the prowl, hunting down humans for their bloody meal, before turning them into grotesque furniture.   Unfortunately, all good things must end. The Malkavian Ancilla Wolfgang with his Tzimisce protogé Leon met with Corinthia  , Thomas  , John, Corneliu and the Salubri Yvette to discuss addressing their Asakku problem. With an uneasy alliance agreed, most set out to ambush Kadenz, while Ethan returned with Seeker, the thin blood largely unaware of the plan. Yvette was brought up to speed on the history of the Asakku, but the Salubri refused aid, and left. A new ritual proposal was devised, and the two Asakku staked - Must to their mutual feelings of betrayal.   After all business was dealt with, Corneliu returned home, and purged the other Malkavian, Anubis , of her sleeping Asakku fragment. Annihilated with fire, we will see if the Malkavian remains free of demonic influence.   Out of the late hours of the night, a final person came from the depths of the sea. Waverly, lost, alone and confused, crawled her way onto the beach. Who knows what awaits her?   Another human was abducted during the night. Mortal Gabriel and Black-Spiral-Shredder  flirting with the boundaries of 'Updated relationship status: Taken' (again, for Shredder) are on the case. Joined now by the Mage Abby and the Corax Nate , who revealed Gabriel's Kinfolk state, they continue their search for the truth after discovering another disappearance.   Vidar came down into the cellar to speak with the frenzied Ian . Him and Thalia had a conversation, both determined to keep Ian from breaking free - as several of the chains already have broken, and the Uktena using her magic to reinforce the containment of her Alpha.

The next game of the season is on! Miami Heat vs. Portland Trail Blazers at the FTX Arena in Downtown !   Meanwhile, a number of live events are offered tonight, including Tootsie - The award-winning musical; South Florida Symphony Orchestra presents the premier of: Tchaikovsky & Gottsch, two Russian artists' work; And Michael Bolton plays at Fort Laurensdale in Allapattah!

Seeker's Watcher, Pana, revealed that Seeker's Sire had arrived to the city. A third Asakku in the city, this one much more powerful, raises concern among both Wolfgang and Corneliu. Leon called for a meeting of the Anarchs to discuss moving forward in relation to the Sabbat's grip on Miami, and Seeker's Sire is likely to be on the agenda.

January 21st, 2022. A **waning gibbous** moon descends from the heavens as the dead sleep and their kin of the night either find their rest or brave the sunlight to interact with those unaware of the world that lives on while they sleep themselves. It is a fairly normal day in Miami. Only two arrests, and only one for fucking an alligator.   But speaking of strange relationships, wedding bells are sounding!   … Just kidding – but Anubis and Corneliu finally admitted their feelings for one another and have begun an official relationship. But they weren’t the only odd couples.   A changeling and a vampire made love, but not the one you’re thinking of. Instead of the eshu Seph Blackwood and her partner, the Toreador Lucien Corbin, it is the sidhe Baroness Haley May-Lee and Brujah Late who shacked up together. But even they are not the last ones to have found love tonight! Or what approximates love.   Orias, a solitary vampire, was cornered by the hunter known as Williams, and agreed to go on a date with him. Was this to preserve the Masquerade? Who knows, but Orias was not shy about telling him all about her status as one of the undead!   Orias was not alone in her blatant show of power: the blue wolf, John, found himself in a place where he showed off the gift from the pack’s new totem, Dragon, to the gators of the Everglades, spewing fire into the air in an expression of emotion and rage. Thankfully, not many (hopefully no one) saw it.   The concert put on by the siren Apollo Mahadeva went according to plan, but was not up to the Malkavian’s hopes. Unfortunately the Sabbat is just not an open audience to such new-fangled or madness-touched operettas as what he puts on. But at least there were snacks.
