A oranges haired vampire who is wearing a black lace like window dress. Hands in the hair in praise — words say “Lilitu” with diamond sparkles around it

VTM game tomorrow for @iron-new-york.bsky.social ! How bad will I hurt the players? Depends, what was the name of the episode— “Absent Queens Decree.”

Oh. Let it be known in advance; I am not even close to being sorry and you all deserved it.

That is all!

A RP between Miko (Played by James) and Lucien (Played by Tenny) Of Miko recruiting Lucien as backup to look into a tip they had received. Miko questions the ability to hide by our Dear Lucien, the trip to the outer edge of the city is sure to be an interesting venture.

Miko needing backup? What on this green earth are you up to now?

An RP clip of Miko as he finds himself awake during the day... Miko: [Upright, a scream and staring at the mirror...] Storyteller: [The Mirror is there. All Miko sees is his own reflection in the mirror...] Miko: [Shakingly, moves on his knees to touch it gingerly...] Storyteller: [The mirror is there. Slightly cool as it is glass, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.] Miko: "Fucking spooky bastards. You cannot trick Miko. Make think I'm crazy. I am going to bite you, eat you and piss on your withered corpses. I know you are real now. HA!" Storyteller: [Nothing replies to Miko. It's oddly silent on his ship -- tonight?..] {Continue on next photo}

{Continued} Miko: [Stares... grabs his phone...] (He sends a text) "Hey Katia.... uhhhh.... I'm awake." Storyteller: [You see your phone... 13:07] (No reply comes; not even a "read" status.) Miko: "13... that's 1pm... what the fucky!" [Stares At the wall] "What do you even do at 1pm? No disco!" Storyteller: [Yes, it's 1pm. You should be asleep yet you're awake. Awake and the urge to sleep again is not there...] {Continued in next photo}

{Continued} Miko: [Moves out to explore, careful and slow] Storyteller: [Miko doesn't have 'time sense' does he?] Miko: [No] Storyteller: [Miko walks the ship. It's quiet until you get closer to the second floor. Well, up one deck. Dozens of people. Some sound like kids. Someone explaining the ship... it's age... Where it's traveled...] Miko: [OH SHIT... and creeps back to his room...] Storyteller: [You make it back; not seen or heard. What does Miko do now?]

Those who have been keeping know there is a plague affecting kindred... but this shows an entirely new symptom...

And just like that, futures are changed forever. I love and loved Anton with my whole dead heart but I had genuinely come to realize how... Bad he was, how human and fallible he was. As I brought Hugo to the air strip to greet the incoming kindred I had already made the decision to do something and go somewhere. His idea to go over seas was... He deserved it. Happy endings don't exist and this isn't one because the end isn't here yet. But a once sickly child and his adopted, saved sire would explore the world while time allowed. A text to Hinata, my dear sweet Hina. Allusions to visiting Japan and an open invitation to hopefully meet them. A promise to return a different, better person. Rena, sick to my core I'm just as bad as Anton. She would thrive in the iron tower and I would fully encourage her to join, she undoubtedly had friends and bonds there now. And finally my Roses, for I couldn't help but stir up just a bit of trouble in my way out. I would be unable to give them my world class services, that I would be away for sometime. But it was obvious, the trail I left. My queen was in Europe and I was last seen heading to an air strip, dots connect. I wanted just a bit of notoriety as I arrived there. It was an ending, No one would ever have guessed that Anton's prodigal childe would leave the office. That he would find an elders body and their mind and return it home. Become a hound after breaking damn near every single rule, or that he would stand up to the swords sheriff after befriending one of the strongest coteries, the Yakuza. That he would step down and adopt a childe, they still didn't know how he became closer than anyone would know to hiss queen and would be allowed to ascend to dragonhood. And now here I was, stepping foot on to Terrus McManus' plane bound for a whole new world. See you later Iron New York.

New horizons await our dear friend Casimir and his young Hugo, sometimes you just need to feel like you again... Sometimes that means taking a new journey... We will miss you Dear Casimir...

trying to summon the executive function to accomplish stuff today because my wonderful partner is coming to visit in a week and my apartment is a disaster zone.

if a project made you very sad and/or it happened at an extremely incredibly rough time in your life, do you still include it in your portfolio of things that you did? or do you just leave it unmentioned?

asking for a me.

<@kine> Before stream announcement! A little bit of Discord & Socials will be changing over the next few months. Why? We are swapping — as in *’Iron New York’* from only *’Vampire: The Masquerade’* into a more broad — *’World of Darkness’* setting. All in server, socials, and chronicles. As we slowly roll out *’Werewolf: The Apocalypse’* and *’Mage: The Ascension’*. This does not change overall stories or location. This is still **our** New York, our **Iron New York!** 🫂

📣 Just and Annoucement for everyone !📣

My financial situation has gotten really bad, and I am starting to het scared, anyone need art, I am really desperate right now

WE ON COME WATCH! #vtm #vamily

Everyone wants to play at a table, but most of the time they don’t actually want to be a player.

What do I mean?

I’m going to use a table I’ve been at for a bit as an example. There is this one person who constantly wants to be included. Like all the time; they are not actually at the table —
