The Tremere must be super-tolerant to heights. I can't imagine ever walking on those rickety bridges.

I've always liked to think of my fellow players as "minions"... but "competition" is as good a word as any.
So, you will notice that, except for where I'm still waiting for Ekaterina, all the threads are again caught up.
Something on the sneaky side... the Vienna Prologue, which includes the full list of NPCs, is getting some more entries: mortal NPCs are being added as well. Those players who haven't added your characters to the thread may also want to do so. Put in as much or as little as you want, just so we have something.

Yes. Yes indeed. Also, the new player I was expecting to join a while back is finally back online.
And, for what it's worth to everyone, after March 10th, I no longer have classes. I do still have one course, which consists of a single really big project, that runs until the end of May. However, I hope that this means I'll quit having short-term deadlines and other urgent but not (in my opinion) important things grabbing for my attention. But, after the 10th, I'll be willing to commit to a 2/wk or 3/wk update schedule on here.

Being near full can give a vampire a little more color, but generally they're still very pale. Sometimes GMs will give it a little supernatural flavor and say your Beast is dormant and so you aren't quite as threatening to kine.[ooc]is that something we all can do, or is there a discipline or merit I need to do so?[/ooc]
The only easy way for a vampire to appear human is the merit Blush of Health. (Incidentally, Seska has this merit, which I play up slightly, but try to keep subtle.) Obfusescate and other means could be employed to get around such limitations, however.

Gentles, it would appear that I have finished my final days of classes this quarter. I have only one admittedly large project due in order to graduate in June.
It's kind of an interesting idea. Now that there's some documentation for it, I can share it hear. I'd noticed in my working with colleges on behalf of my company that there are quite a lot of students seeking technical certifications from schools (either by themselves or as part of larger degree programs) who would like to include some kind of work experience or... heaven forbid, an actual internship in the IT job market. Looks great on the resume to say that, in addition to all that book learning, you actually went into a real customer's premise and helped them set up some kind of computer widget that they needed done.
So, my project, which will by itself take me a quarter to finish, is a business plan / recommendation to form a non-profit organization that will partner with technical schools in an area to get semi-trained interns (we call them Monkeys) and put them to work with other non-profit organizations (we call them customers) who need stuff done. It's not paid, but the students get valuable work experience. The non-profits get to have the IT tools to go out and fight for their causes, without having to worry about figuring out how to get email working.
I have a partner on my team, and I have a sponsor who is very well regarded in the Seattle non-profit environment. And I have two and a half months to work out all the details and give her a business plan for such an organization. We chose a business plan, since it's a school project and we wanted to keep our workscope small enough to not guarantee failure. However, once the plan is done, we'll graduate, and we can turn around and start to implement the plan in real life.
This might turn into an ongoing business for me. But, now there's no more schoolwork and assignments competing with my time. Only work and appointments to meet with people for the project, which should be smaller blocks of time more often.
Anyway, back to the game: it looks like Marianna is ready to join us. Those of you in the Giovanni thread may remember her as a minor NPC so far. She's now a PC. Welcome her as you did Rudolf.

Paranoid people live longer, becaues they are always on the lookout for what's going to get them.
In other news, welcome Marianna. Your minion may not be in the same condition as when you last saw him. Good Luck.
