Not much happened of consequence tonight really. I am however now in the service of the Prince. Cecil and myself are to read the auras of all at the Prince's request. I was reading the aura of Mikeal, a new vampire to the area. As far as I could tell he was not lying but sometimes it was quite difficult.

Darryl and I have also been reading auras. We were looking for evidence of others outside the clan Tremere using Thaumaturgy. No evidence though. Darryl was also commenting how she is sure that a Tremere has been doing things they shouldn't. What exactly she wouldn't tell me.

Oh one thing that did happen. Someone (apparently Johnny Briggs the Brujah) tried to blow up Andrew's car. Andrew then contacted the bomb disposal squad (the Prince was not happy I think). Four guards died in a fire fight, again with Johnny apparently, and then the armed police turned up. The area was cordoned off. Such a waste of Fresh Vitae!

The new Toreodor was unhappy. His two most prized possession, swords given him by his SIre and mentor were discovered by the police and confiscated. He is reporting them stolen in the hope that he can regain them. Perhaps he should ask the Brujah as it was their fault that they were found.

The Prince then gave his usual meeting. Apparently the unusual comings and goings of our court have attracted the attention of security and he is worried the Masquerade is in danger of being breached. Shame. Now we must find other places to discuss things especially if the Elysium is compromised.

The prince has also instated the Gangrel as the scourge. There are three very nasty vamps apparently running around (well one is, the other two are staked.) John, the Brujah Primogen was warning us not to pull stakes from any unknown vampires. As if anyone would be that stupid. Although saying that, I do have a stupid vampire to thank for resurrecting me so perhaps the warning was not as innane as first appears.

Ferdie was not very active last night. Oh there were two funny incidents. Both involved Claudio to some extent.

In the first, he was dominated by a Malkavian (a new boy called Neville) in the toliets downstairs in the Elysium. It was only funny because Claudio was so indignant.

In the second, Darryl was asked for a hug by the Toreodor. This resulted in the emergence of Tessa, her eight year old alter ego. Tessa was most distressed because she ahd lost her purple and green teddy bear. So, Lysander dominated the poor girl into believing that Claudio was her teddy bear. The poor dear didn't know what to do and the rest of us nearly died laughing (if we weren't dead already!)

Other than that not much is happening. I am still searching for my sire. Lord Ruthven must be somewhere. I do not believe that he would leave me on my own if he knew I was back. So I must believe he does not know I have returned. The other options do not bear thinking about. I wonder if there would be anything on the Internet. I shall ask Luke for his help in this matter when he returns from Egypt.
