Trump interupts Mirella in the middle of her last sentence "Okay, okay, I get it, I'm a vampire now, I know, believe me. I'm not a child, do you know how old I am? I'm experienced, older than you, a lot older than you, I get it, but I'm the president of the United States, I'm needed by America! I have to get back to the White House, I'm not fixing this place, it's a nice place, real classy, but I'm not fixing it, America needs fixing. I can't fix America from here, not easily, I need to go back, got it? Show me out, I've been gone too long, America misses me."
Yeeep.
‘You’ve been away for months, we have you covered. A Nosferatu is obfuscating for you. He’s been negotiating with construction companies over building some wall, but is having a hard time getting them to bill the Mexican government for it. Still, he’s discriminating with extreme prejudice against ethnic minorities, so you’d be proud.’
Trump rolls Intelligence + vampire customs but does not succeed in understanding that Nosferatu are incredibly ugly and that even with level 3 obfuscate active they are only able to masquerade as incredibly ugly people (This is their clan flaw).
Do as Mirella suggested and travel to the great dining hall. Count Spoonicus probably has family there.
Cutlery and plates line the wall on display. The ornate designs decorate the room well, surrounding a beautiful, antique and hand carved dining table. Most are gathering dust, however, from their disuse. There are a few sets that have some pieces missing, often of different designs. Tea sets of fine china, dinner sets of beautiful silver and porcelain, and serving trays intricately designed illustrate one of the greatest losses of vampire life. No one in the building will ever eat again, as food eaten by vampires quickly becomes noxious, and is thrown up.
Spoonicus’ family is here somewhere.
((Sialia, I don't know what's wrong with Nikolai's mental stats. Could you be more specific?))
Nikolai will tail Trump, and act as a bodyguard
((Nikolai is using perception, intelligence and wits, the mental attributes are actually Intelligence, Wits and Resolve. Please redistribute your levels and I will amend your character sheet.
))
I am sure that Trump will do some sort of exploding here or something. You stick by him to watch him no doubt act like an idiot.
Trade back in the equipment I got, that was just in case the test involved killing things. Here's the final list of what I want:
Light Bullet-Resistant Vest
Smartphone
Small titanium knife
Sawn-Off Double-Barrel shotgun
Two shells of Dragon's breath
Sawn-Off Double-Barrel shotgun
One buckshot shell, one slug
Assuming that the clothes that Mirella gave me were free, that leaves me with $464, just $36 south of a shiny Formal Outfit.
Therefore ask them vampires if they have any simple work for Neonates so I can earn $36.
Many of the vampires require assistance,
A Toreador you speak with wants you to follow their rival Toreador and find out whether they are cheating on their spouse. Gossip is the most valuable currency amongst the socialites.
A Nosferatu living near the entrance to the basement has been hearing strange noises down there and can’t seem to figure out what is causing it. He would like to get a good night’s sleep.
A Brujah has recently opened a club and is looking for cheap labour.
You ask just enough people that word is getting out the new neonates may be looking for work.
Father Gerald would like to seek out some Ancillia who are experienced in the arts of Diplomacy. He will learn at their feet and seek tutorship.
A few of the Ventrue sort of laugh a bit when you ask. Most call you kook- it appears you are establishing amongst most of the vampires here that you are a Malkavian. In addition, they sometimes call you worm or whelp. Most call you fledgling, saying you aren’t old enough to even be a neonate. Neonates are not welcomed with open arms amongst the Ancilla and it appears most would not yet consider teaching you anything. Still, some of the other neonates may be able to help you, some of the Venture may be interested in teaching a younger Ventrue. It does appear, however, that they believe you to be Malkavian.
You roll intelligence + vampire politics and customs but do not notice anything odd about how this place appears to be structured.
Smith goes to serg where he says high and sees if serg could teach him some meele skills. Failing that just ask about how long serg has been doing this.
‘Of course, little man, we can go work together once I’m off shift here.’ Serge is ecstatic that one of the new neonates wants to learn from him. Being back fighting- that’s what he wants to do really.
Upon Smith’s enquiry as to how long Serge has been doing this he responds with sadness in his voice.
‘Prince took me off the front lines. I used to be one of the best of them, I could tear an ancilla apart with my bare hands.’
Serge looks melancholy. ‘I wish he’d put me back there, it’s all I want to do, but his word is law in the end.’
