Tabitha Wheelwright, Seneschal for Prince
Robert, has been killed by Hunters. Four of them entered her Haven in the middle of the day
posing as gas company workers. Tabitha put up a valiant fight, but her Haven was set on
fire, and she had to flee into the daylight, and was eventually overcome. However, Prince Robert,
arriving at the scene through the sewers, managed to kill one of the hunters before the rest
escaped.
In what is perhaps related news, it has been confirmed that Randolph Pike, former head of the
Ventrue, is no more.
In a shocking announcement this past Sunday, Vigrid, Prince of
Reykjavik,
Iceland, declared her city and the
surrounding territory an independent state.
Denouncing her status within the Camarilla and relinquishing
her official position, she invited the citizens of her city to accept her philosophy of
peaceful co-existence with all clans, or leave without violence. Her entire
Primogen Council publicly supported this move.
All eyes are turning to the Inner Circle now,
as the Camarilla awaits the official word from its eldest. Vigrid stated in her speech that
she is willing to keep up relations with the Camarilla, so long as no encroachment of
rights is attempted.
Rumours that Vigrid is supported by a contingent of Lupines are as yet
unconfirmed. Vigrid formerly enjoyed 9 status,
and was well known as the most successful Brujah Prince in recent
history, celebrating her 200th year of peaceful reign this past February.
A wave of terrorism in Toronto has citizens panicking. Last Wednesday, nine
people were killed and another forty-six injured as a bomb struck a section of
Front Street early in the morning. Islamic Fundamentalists claimed
responsibility for the senseless attack, as well as for the massacre that took
place at the Mexican Embassy earlier in the week. A task force of RCMP
officers has been mobilized in the city in the interest of tracking down and
stopping further attacks before they happen.
Holly MacNamara, America's number one hope for Olympic Gold in gymnastics, has
been kidnapped. After practice last Monday, she disappeared, and her cohort's
worst fears were realized as a ransom note was delivered to the team. Police
scour the nation for any sign of her while America holds its collective
breath, praying that its seventeen year-old sweetheart is returned unharmed.
Ghoulish fun at
Maple Leaf Gardens!
Glam-gore band "Lucien Hawke and the
Masquerade" performed to a packed house, providing the fans with a kind of
gut-churning raunch extravaganza rarely seen before. One fan was quoted as
saying "Holy shit, man. I think my brain is bleeding! I love it!" Music Critic
Parker Allen said "The music feels like being kicked in the teeth with a
beer-soaked pair of iron clogs, and the stage show is sickening. If they haven't
been signed to a major label yet, look for it to happen any day now."
Angry family members and supporters of those afflicted with the "sleeping
sickness" protested at
Queen's Park
yesterday after the experimental cure for
the illness was tied up in legislation preventing its use on human subjects.
"There are laws for this sort of thing," said a spokesperson for the Health
Minister, "We have to be sure it's absolutely safe."
