SFC Session 6.5: The Meatgrinder
General Summary
June 21, 1944
More than half a century before they'd find themselves defending the same neighborhood in San Francisco, Eidard and Oliver met under much different circumstances on the front lines of World War II. A couple weeks after D-Day Eidard was just another private on patrol when he came across an American artilleryman crawling around the woods near Caen. Eidard was still a human at the time, but Oliver had been embraced the year before for fighting back against an attack from a Gangrel. In that time Oliver had refused to feed on another human, and to that end he recruited Eidard to help him hunt down something larger than a rat to feed on. They sneaked into the night towards one of the neighboring villages, intercepted by a scouting party of Nazi soldiers. In a show of tremendous self-control Oliver mowed down the Nazis with his rifle rather than tearing them limb-from-limb with his vampiric powers. Eidard kept his distance as this massacre unfolded, but the nightmare continued once the two of them had made it to the town square. There was a soft lowing coming from a nearby storehouse, and Eidard watched horrorstruck as Oliver fed from the cow until it was nothing but a bone-dry husk of flesh. Oliver shot the last surviving Nazi and ordered Eidard back to camp, which the Scotsman happily obliged. The two wouldn't see each other for another fifty years until Eidard fled south from Seattle to escape the Camarilla crackdown on the Anarch population there. In the meantime Oliver made sure that Eidard didn't get punished for abandoning his post, convincing his commanding officer William Frankfort to send a kind word to Eidard's superiors and deliver a little gift to him. To this day Eidard still has the scars from that night, and the pistol gifted to him by Oliver.
