Session summary

'De Crayon', a small dot in the nightlife of Ostend held a private party this Saturdaynight. The occasion of this event was naturally the monthly gathering of Kindred, this time hosted by the fresh Neonate Harpy Jef Vandermeersch. Inviting everyone personally making sure, even without an announced Elysium, to leave their weapons and bad intentions at home almost forgetting they were invited by a Brujah.
One employee of Jef also seemed to be more interested in getting acquainted with the local Kindred, Femke Descamps, as of now not formally introduced, could be perceived as his ghoul.

Upon entering the pub one couldn't have guessed that it suited for entertaining supernatural guests. Equality was especially yet noticable with no specific decorations more intended for possible more important guests. All chairs were equal, in all plainness no apparent changes were made to this rather sober place. It seems Jef had quite an ideology as a Brujah as the knights of the round table, where all was seated and treated as equals.

Amongst the usual guests there were again several new faces. Uriel, the Neonate Nosferatu from Kortrijk was accompanied by an Ancilla Nosferatu named Radek Novak. But the most remembered impression was the entrance and attendance of two new Giovanni. Francis Beryn and Kurt Beryn gave their best in showing the community how to please your elders with sincere submissive behaviour. They showered Alessandro Giovanni with a gift and compliments and naturally respected Camarilla etiquette by formally introducing themselves to the court.

After everyone was equally welcomed by their host Jef the Harpy, the esteemed Seneschal Eldwin Falckeauge had one last point to come to this evening. In all her forgiveness her Majesty the Prince BelleFleure had granted the Malkavian Neonate Ronny Vermeulen a swift death at the sword of the Brujah Sheriff. Ronny Vermuelen was brought in on his knees, cuffed and with a bag over his head. Once Yuri removed the bag to commence the execution and his sadness was visible to all the host intervened. The moment the Neonate Brujah pleaded to not to finish this here, Ronny seemed to have vanished from sight. Not even the sharp senses of the Prince itself could perceive what happened. However upon securing all the exits the panicked Malkavian was intercepted and brought to immediate justice as proved with his decaying body thrown in the pub showing there is no hope eluding the Camarilla and it's harsh fist.

The night then resumed in utilising the shabby atmosphere to do business with one another and spreading rumours. Yuri the Sheriff also introduced an old friend of him to the Prince. Alexei Kiriloff, a Neonate Brujah coming from America and came to support the Camarilla.
Late but not unexpected by some was the buldering entrance of Alain Foulard, immediatly stepping up to the Giovanni Ambassador Alessandro imposing himself. Alessandro, feeling falsely protected by Elysium due to the presence of the entire court, was proven wrong when the Ancilla Nosferatu didn't exact pipe down. Forcing the host to throw the Giovanni outdoors the furious Nosferatu made crude statements on all the local Kindred concerning their hospitality towards Clan Giovanni.
The Seneschal himself had to step in to make sure no violence was used in Jef's establishment. Alain slammed doors going out the same as he came in after a tense stand-off with the Tremere Ancilla Eldwin. No doubt the Neonate took the Nosferatu threat as real since after a brief conversation with Alessandro who left the gathering shortly thereafter.

It seems tensions are rising and many are wondering about the possible outcome...
