I feel my favorite moment in VTMB is that of the sudden-chance reunion with Samantha. Their is just so much to chew on from a narrative standpoint, we as the player have been so embroiled in the politics of the clans, doing dirty work and trying to survive. We are so stuck in our own heads about how it is we should proceed, "who should i place my trust in? Will i be able to survive?" Ultimately we become a survivor, and as we rush to do a new job we get greeted by..

Someone we never seen before, someone so distinct! no one else looks like her. Yet the moment she speaks and expresses her worry over you, we instantly understand that they are a friend of ours. Not just anyone, but a close friend with how worried she is; she seems so desperate to search for the PC even searching around the dangerous streets of Hollywood for us. How long has she been looking? how long will she 'keep' looking?

it's just a sombering encounter, and a real test of how the player treats their connection to their former life. Personally for my Ventrue, he erased the encounter from her mind. He could never hurt her, he would hope that she stops looking. But then again, a selfish part of him is happy they care so much.

[vampire-the-askerade]

Beckett and/or the anarchs reacting to a thin-blood fledgling? What would that look like

[went with the last round Anarchs and Beckett. Hope that was alright]

Nines- I can see him taking you in, but being cautious. As much as we might hate to admit it, Rodriguez is not as truly altruistic as he might make himself out to be. You're more of a bargaining piece, at least at first. A way to show how accepting the Anarchs are. Of course, he will cut ties if you become more hassle than you're worth in his opinion.

Damsel- I think she's the one most likely to fully accept you. It would take a bit, you have to build trust with her like anyone else would. But, once you have that trust it's hard to break it. She sees people's worth in the work they do and not their clan/where they come from. However, she will go with Nines' final word on however to handle you.

Skelter- He does not want you around at first. He's always looking for a way for things to go wrong, and with the ill omen reputation thin-bloods have you are basically a time bomb about to go off at any moment. Even if it's not something you do personally, there's no telling what the other factions might do if they found out that the Anarchs were harboring you. Gaining his trust is possible, but it will take a long while.

Jack- Here's the thing. Jack won't treat you any worse than anyone else he meets. Won't treat you any better either, but still. Mind your own business and don't be annoying, and the two of you won't have any problems. He's not one for superstition, so to him, you're just another type of clan with it's own set of problems. Though, he might make a biting insult every so often. Don't take it personally, he does that to everyone.

Beckett- He's actually more than interested to have you around. As long as you don't mind being a subject of study. Also not one for superstition; in fact his goal in his un-life is to debunk as many as he can. He'll try not to be too invasive with his studies, but he's also not the most social sort meaning he might not know boundaries. You're also expected to take care of yourself and learn your abilities yourself. He's a gangrel after all; not the most parental of clans.

and for your ask game 3, 11, and 25 for the gorgeous toreador ophelia <3

3. Are they more “traditional” or do they break barriers?

— She’s sided with the Camarilla so she’s more of a traditional girl but she can see why others align themselves with other factions.

11. When was their embrace?

— In 1940 on Valentine’s Day, since her sire thought it’d be romantic to kill her (it wasn’t☹️)

25. How often do they cause a masquerade breach?

— She’s an author & a kindred socialite and she’s almost violated the masquerade a few times because of just being careless or accidentally showing her fangs but you can always kill off the witnesses right? ^_^

[milk-crafting]

Your tzimisce doesn't look like a tzimisce to me. Don't they usually have horns and multiple eyes, not multiple teeth?

I don't know if things have changed with v5, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a standard appearance for tzimisce with older editions? I know there's like a popular 'style' for them, but I was under the impression that since they can do anything with their bodies, they can look like very normal very pretty people or like horrible monstrosities that aren't even humanoid anymore. I've actually only seen a handful of peoples' tzimisce OCs with horns personally!

Before the job at Grout's mansion, Evie was kind of semi-adopted by Nines, who taught her what she needed to know. He taught her to fight and how to use weapons and how the power dynamics worked in the city so that she could navigate LA with way less trouble and see through Lacroix's power flexes more easily. He also took her for rides on the motorcycle and arranged for different places she could camp out each night, making her survival way more feasible.

He saw a lot of himself in Evie and put in all the effort that he could afford without ignoring the political situation. On the nights where he was just too busy to make time, he'd make sure that one of the others would keep an eye on her and teach her something. Before going into hiding, he put Damsel in charge of Evie... and we all know how that played out.

The thing is that's very funny is how perfectly salice actually translates to the vtmb au because here are some of her key traits.

1. italian specifically born and raised in Venice (she is half Croatian too)

2. canonically inherits a fascination towards death from her grandmother who is a long lived necromancer

3. part of a sisterhood of witches in high school that practices necromancy and becomes a necromancer

4. mòrbid obsesssion with all things about death and zombies etc

5. always associated with dogs and wolves bc of her demeanor To Me. but she hates being compared to dogs and wolves bc she doesn't think they're cool. she likes bugs more. imagine when she discovered there's a type of gangrel that are more in sync with bugs

6. idk her being a gangrel is so ironically funny also bc she's very temperamental and feral in a sense. she'd be so damn mad that her fear of looking unkempt and wild is even more palpable so she tries to look more Groomed so to speak like a fancy dog

[vampire-the-askerade]

Vampires with things I say to my dog

[a totally self-indulgent thing where I think it would be funny for the fledgling to say stuff to the kindred that I say to my dog. I am tired and this isn't proof read, sorry for the world salad]

To Nines- Hey there, Mr. Man! *Sing song* My mister, mister man!

To Strauss- You're bein' so fancy.

To Beckett- Whatcha doin', hairy man?

To LaCroix- You can't eat that. You're fancy, little, spaniel belly wouldn't like it.

To Gary- *kisses forehead* I love you, stinky!

To Jeannette- You don't get my food. Stop smacking me.

To the ankaran sarcophagus and possibly Caine the Father of Vampires: Hello~ the sleepiest boy~

“Crossing Paths”

Can’t make myself make good art today. Combo of the illness and the mental issues and generally feeling like I’m not where I want to be in life just soundly kicked my ass today. Did make a banger minestrone soup tho so not all bad.

Anyway, since I am very unsure if I could fit a Junie into In The Red, even though she’d have been in LA at the time and was involved in some of the plot related stuff as a hunter (working with the Leopoldian Inquisitors), she shouldn’t cross paths with Ziggy at that stage in her life.

Now, if they fought in the current nights? hoo boy.

Ziggy would, however, spare the weird giant girl if she met her because tbh, she seems.... special. And wouldn’t take a swing at her, so fair’s fair. Would definitely put a gun to the girl’s head tho. Gotta keep the hunters just a little bit afraid.

Andrei and Gretchen have to order a single pizza that they both have to eat. What's the topping conversation and who dies first?

Very intriguing question! So, if they were to eat pizza as if they're mortals again with regular taste buds, I'd say that Gretchen would be the one to take the lead when it comes to deciding, with her being a half Italian queen who knows her stuff.

Leaning towards "rich people food" Andrei wouldn't really care that much about pizza tbh. He'd just take the moment to troll her by suggesting ungodly horrors such as pineapple or even ice cream as toppings, which would result in him being chained to the couch or buried dead in the yard, depending how far he takes the joke.

my only sebastian lacroix hc so far is that he’s a chronic chain smoker
