On the other hand there’s Sterling who figured out she was gay a week before she kissed April. While we never see a lens into what her parents think about gay people Anderson and Debbie are likely to at least tolerate it. They’re both shown to be flawed parents but they truly unconditionally love their two children. She also was the person who put away John Stevens. She is the sweetest person ever and is too good for this world while also being a somewhat repressed Christian girl who’s incredibly horny. She’s such an interesting character because that’s messy and something that isn’t really shown much.

They then decide to talk to one of the more influential members of the new Primogens domain, Miguel Ramirez, a Lasombra who’s been a part of the Camarilla for his 40 years of unlife who is also a Catholic priest. Due to some tension Jack and Elizabeth walk there and Kyler uses his familus to fly him there in rat form, Miss Anderson takes her old Civic while Freya, Scylla’s driver, drives her and Victoria. Speaking of Victoria our Ventrue, she is tragically disadvantaged here due to her supernatural aversion to saintly imagery. This means she just stays in just barely in the church. They arrive at the end of Saturday evening Mass which is given my father Miguel. The coterie excluding Victoria go to meet with him to much success and he’s in favor of Kyler as Primogen. Though the arrival of Minerva a nomadic Malkavian who travels with her coterie around the country and is dressed like a nun arrives as she has business with the father. Now there are three stories following events of three members of the Coterie.

First is Anna Anne Anderson, who is asked to stay in father Miguel’s office by Minerva. She reveals herself as a Salubri as she takes off her habit to reveal the 3rd eye. She tells Anna that she’s her old friend who she met on SchreckNet back in the day. Minerva reveled she was here so that she and Miguel could discuss enlightenment a topic both of them are interested in. Anna was rightfully shocked and didn’t know how to respond, she left pretty quickly.

While this was happening our dear “straight girl” Elizabeth went to a pew to give a quick prayer before she left. While this is happening she feels a tap on her shoulder, it’s Eve her “old friend.” They both stare forward as they talk and Elizabeth is shocked Eve would even want to talk to her but Eve felt it might be her only chance. I’ll recreate a part of the scene I particularly liked as best I can.

Elizabeth takes Eves hand in hers.

Eve responds with “Liz, your hands, they’re freezing” with a slight tremble to her voice.

“You know I’ve always run cold” retorts Elizabeth.

Eve with her other hand sandwiches Elizabeth’s hands cueing Elizabeth to activate the blush of life to make herself seem more human causing the beast to gnaw at her to take a bite from Eve. Elizabeth not trying to draw suspicion from her coterie she doesn’t know that well yet tells Eve to meet her back here in a week and Eve agrees.

For the last mini story the 4 vampires could make two perception checks, one for identifying anything about the events that had just transpired. Somehow everyone failed every roll, Victoria even got a beastial failure on one. This triggered the beast to go paranoid and activated the paranoia compulsion. Her first instinct was to find a driver and get out of here and back to her building. She gets into Scyllas car and with her vampiric power demands Freya drive her to her building and she complies unable to do anything else really. She gets back to her building and locks everything down.

Kyler Smitt the Country Gangrel: Kyler was embraced in the 90s and is vying for the newly opened up Primogen seat for many of the disparate clans as most of them live under the Tremere which a lot of people don’t like. He’s a good 200 years younger than any of the other Primogen but there really isn’t a whole lot of age in the turf he wants to be the Primogen of because of some past conflicts with the Anarchs. He lives in a TMNT style apartment in the sewers with a few Nosferatu.

Anna Anne Anderson the Salubri: Anna was embraced in the peak of our civilization 1999, though she’d find that reference far less humorous than her player. She was ghouled by the Tremere regent to be her personal assistant about ten years before her embrace. She was slated for embrace by the Tremere Regent Iris but the night she was supposed to be embraced a rogue Salubri embraced her instead. This was brought to the Prince and due to a very complex political situation at the time she was allowed to live, a big reason for this is the sizable population of Japanese kindred who are far kinder to Salubri. This has to do with some lore I added to replace the orientalist abomination known as kindred of the east. In current nights she’s working to get out of the thumb of the Tremere because she’s heavily stifled given her being a Salubri. Her goals are to aid Kyler to become the new Primogen which should lead to a course of events that makes her the new Keeper of Elysium.

Victoria Hawthorne the Ventrue: Victoria was embraced in the early 2000s right around when the dot com bubble burst. She runs a surveillance tech company and is the definition of an upstart. She has her own skyscraper in downtown Seattle where her company is based out of, it’s not quite a startup anymore but it’s still working on its magnum opus of a plot device level surveillance tech. She has lofty goals and needs allies in high places.

Jack Cross the Malkavian: Jack was embraced in 2016 by the Malkavian Primogen Eleanor. She was a private investigator in life and when her wife fell into a supernatural coma she turned her skills to looking into the supernatural. A year into her investigation she was embraced. Shes spent 9 years looking into her wife’s coma and she’s had a few notable leads but it’s led her to the coterie.

Scylla the Lasombra: Scylla was embraced into the Sabbat in 2018 by Seth but was quickly brought into the Camarilla in 2019 when her sire turned coat and brought his brood with him. Her life was destroyed by her sire multiple times, resulting in the death of her girlfriend and destruction of her gang. She built back up though and was “rewarded” with the embrace by this monster. She now runs a pretty respected club in Kindred society, especially for her age. It’s also the most notable location in where the new Primogen would have domain over so a prefect ally for Kyler to have. She has a deep desire to see her sire meet the final death which is why she’s opposed his aims for being the new Primogen.
