One year already passed since the Kindred of Ostend reunited themselves for the first time in several decades. In one year, this secretive community already switched Prince and became the most prominent Camarilla Domain of Flanders. Major changes also presented major opportunities in status for multiple Kindred. One of these newly promoted Kindred is Mélanie Verbert, neonate Malkavian and newly appointed Harpy in Ostend.

Ever grateful for her new position of power the Neonate Malkavian decided to host a meeting herself. Thanking both the Leader of the Harpies, the Ancillae Toreador Jennifer de Crystallin and the Prince Angélique Bellefleure, a former Harpy in Ostend by this gesture of throwing a festive evening in which she would personally take care of the entertainment.

For such an important promise only her personal assets were approved to serve as location and entertainment for all Kindred she invited. Her burlesque house at the red-light district named 'Het Hazegras' proved quite secure for her goals.

Kindred would be expected to hang around the block trying to locate the place of business as stated in the somewhat cryptic invitations as it was suspected from a Malkavian mind. Luckily for the guests a ghoul was placed outside holding off Kine and after pinpointing Kindred luring them inside with promises concerning their wildest imaginations. If that wasn't enough, the local girls added to the invitations were almost too hard to ignore.

Although the wankbooths on the leftside were empty, one entering the shabby looking building one was welcomed by the smell of human semen and the odor of sweat. One was greeted and checked with the guestlist by Mélanie's clanmember Ronny Vermeulen who announced the guests upon entering the more refined part of the establishement.

Once deeper inside the brothel, the Kindred were slightly teased and entertained by professionally trained Kine. A catwalk with a pole in the center was also present and was used several times during erotic acts and dancing, including the top act of 'the Madamoiselle' of the house herself, Mélanie Verbert, concluding her act with a standing ovation. Every Kindred's personal bounderies and interests were provoked with the presence of male and female dancers engaging lapdances, lesbian & SM shows and private meetings upstairs.

In the end of the evening Prince Bellefleure proved quite leniant towards Ronny Vermeulen concerning an issue not completely finished in the past. In his new function, the Brujah Sheriff Yuri Danivyslov found it most appropriate for the young Malkavian to excuse himself for destruction of art several months ago. Brought to his knees, the Neonate apologised towards Clan Toreador and mostly towards the proprietor of the PMMK, the Ancilla Viktor Goebs, in the uncontrolled destruction of several modern masterpieces. It seemed his humiliation offered enough satisfaction as the matter was closed shortly after.

Besides regular visitors of the Domain there were also new faces. A Neonate Toreador named Joachim Demeulenaere and an Ancilla Ventrue named John Sinclair, both former residents of Bruges. Much to the surprise of Alessandro Giovanni, it seemed there still was some minor Camarilla activity in the vicinity of Bruges. One could merely guess the motives of these visitors, but it was visible to all that Prince Angélique offered full hospitality towards the Kindred from Bruges and would see to their requests.

The most bizarre appearance of the night was that of the Malkavian's' Jean-Jean. An enigma probably to themselves and the entire Kindred Society they interacted with. These siamese twins were embraced within Clan Malkavian as self-proclaimed prophets and deemed it necessary to step forward and mingle amongst the guests. Besides matters discussed only with their present Clanmembers they also offered the Toreador Prince insights about her domain in transferrable visions. Nobody knows when or if the Prince accepted their offer and what could be the possible outcome of taking too much interest in Clan Malkavian.

Even before the end of the night, rumours spread of the hosting capabilites of the newly appointed Harpy as a favourite amongst Neonate and Ancillae circles.
