News

- The SPPD has issued an advisory for citizens of Siren's Port to beware two vampires that have been stalking the streets. This comes after two bodies were found in the Darkness, having been drained of blood past the point where life could still be sustained. The police were given a tip that it was two vampires, not just one, and though this claim is being investigated, Chief Miller has advised that no one take chances.

"We don't know for certain if we're looking for one offender or two. What matters is that people need to know how to avoid being victims. Keep inside at night, travel in groups, and report any suspicious activity you see," Miller said. "Don't take this matter lightly and do not endanger yourselves needlessly."

Some speculate that the vampires are rogue members of the Sanguinarian Society though others believe they perpetrators are newcomers. There has been no comment from the Sanguinarian Society in answer to these claims.


- A small fire has been put out in a Sector 1 alley, just an hour before the morning sirens. A pile of what appears to be a collection of blood and guts was found at the center of the fire. Further investigations showed a discarded purse that holds the ID of newcomer and known vampire Jessica Hamby, with further evidence of an struggle and a possible witness that in the vicinity at the time of the fire. The investigation is still underway.

[ It's immensely startling to realize exactly how long it's been since he's posted to the network; he tends to keep his nose to the grindstone and remain generally oblivious to what's going on the network.

Still, this is a big enough change-up in his routine that he may as well make note of it: ]

Starting today, I will be teaching basic hand to hand fighting at the dojo on Tuesday and Friday afternoons. It is mainly intended for beginners, but those who wish to refresh their knowledge or are looking for possible sparring partners are welcome to join as well.

If there is sufficient interest, I can also provide basic instruction in spear or polearm fighting.

[ He gives the address to what was once Kurogane's dojo, then lapses into a brief silence. ]

Attendees with, ah... allergies to rodents and similar creatures should let me know beforehand.

[ Nothing interrupts a covert police operation more than when one of your fellow officers nearly sneezes his way through a wall. He doesn't imagine teaching self-defense would be much different. ]

accidental video

[cheerhealer]

[ The feed begins with a birds eye view of a small living room, laminated wooden flooring and very sparse furniture. In a corner is a stuffed manatee (one of two stuffed animals she had gotten for Christmas) laying on the bottom of a floor lamp. A young woman appears in the feed, hair thrown up in a casual ponytail. On the couch is a large pile of clothing.

She's humming something as she brings in a large load of laundry in a basket in her arms. Perhaps it's a familiar tune. She sets the basket on the ground and picks up a cardigan. ]

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. [ She puts it onto the arm of the couch. ] Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.

98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall. [ She slips a sweater over her shirt from the basket before going back to folding laundry. It's all kinds, really; athletic clothing, dresses, thongs, bras. ]

( ((not an ic cut)) )

68 bottles of beer on the wall, 68 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 67 bottles of beer. [ She finally finishes with sorting her large load of laundry. She tosses the basket up to wherever the NV is currently situated, effectively clicking off the video. ]

[Filtered away from Angel/ Angelus]

I need any information on magic pertaining to souls, unleashing or releasing them. Any information would be helpful.

This is not the first time Angelus has been released. The first time it was released by ancient Asian magic. It took a powerful witch to get it back. And in the meantime, he went on a rampage.

I don't care if he's on some bounty. This isn't who he is, and I'm sure it's to be said for the other vampire. I'm not the most skilled in magic, but I think I could do this. I simply don't have the right resources.

If any need information on protecting yourself, holy water and crosses will fend him off, but I advice staying in your house or apartment.

[There's a loud clunking sound as her book drops, turning on the audio and clicking on in the middle of what must be a fairly tense situation from the sound of things.]

-me see Uther! You have no right to hold me here without telling me why, there is no reaso-

[Someone, who is clearly being far more patient with her than she really is deserving of at the moment, is heard trying to calm her by saying things along the lines of 'ma'am if you would-' and 'Miss, please calm down.' Unfourtunately for this poor person caught in the crossfire Morgana just starts back into something like a tirade. Confused, and just coming off an interrogation, she's not as calm as she usually would be. ]

What you're telling me is that Aredian has nothing to do with this? I don't believe you. Now-

[Morgana steps forward and turns off the book by accident due to stepping on it. About three hours later, there's a short text post.]

I'm sorry for my behavior. I was not at my best and it is not how I would like to be introduced.

My name is Morgana.

I've been told where I am, but it's not been explained as well as I'd like, and things here seem strange.

Like cars.

They move faster than anything I've ever seen. How is that even possible?

[OOC: This is also known as the latest introduction ever.]
