Rumours from Toronto for February 1996

Farewell to the Prince, all hail Prince Robert. Lord Echo, Prince of Toronto, has passed his mantle of power over to Robert the Kent, former self-proclaimed Anarch. The transfer of power went smoothly and with little bloodshed. The only death reported was that of Dante, Primogen of Clan Ventrue, who was exiled for the heinous crime of Diablerie. Dante was subsequently killed on his departure from the Elysium site. Robert is a respected leader in the Clan Nosferatu but this change has raised some eyebrows.

A crazed individual was forcefully escorted from a high society party this week. The event was held by none other than City-TV's Moses Znaimer. The individual was suspected of both using and selling drugs at this party. There was an incident where the crazed man stood naked in the middle of the party shouting "I am Tremere, the belt of Orion. I know everything. I am truly God!", while smearing his body with peanut butter. The identity of this clearly deranged man is at this time unknown. Mr. Znaimer was quoted as saying "Some people just don't know how to behave at a party."

Wilde, Primogen of Clan Toreador, has been robbed blind. His Haven was stripped of all valuables while he was out partying on the town. He is said to be much put out by the loss of many beautiful and irreplaceable items but expressed that it was a good excuse for redecorating. If anything good can be said to come of this experience, it seems to have affected his parties for the better. Several events that he has held since the burglary have been reported as extremely good examples of decadent drunken debauchery, although his guests have told of losing several small valuable personal items, such as jewelry, wallets, etc., while attending these events.

From the National Enquirer: Man Healed of Deadly Disease! Young Toronto man is healed of AIDS in what he calls a religious experience. "I'm not a religious person," says Alexander Thomas, "but this is the only way I can describe it!" Mr. Thomas was diagnosed with the deadly AIDS virus two years ago. The doctors had given him almost no hope. Until that fateful January evening. He was on his way to the local hangout, when all of a sudden a strange feeling came over him. He collapsed on the ground, and was taken to the nearest hospital. That was where he received the miraculous news.

Paranormal manifestations in Toronto have reached a fever pitch. Reported occurrences include: a brief rain of fish-hooks in the city core, the sudden and unexplained explosions of all the windows of an Italian restaurant in Yorkville and the appearance of several screaming snowmen at the Metro Toronto Zoo. Famed occultist Zora Gray was quoted in the Toronto Star as saying "I've never seen anything like this!" The reporter from the Star realized something very strange after this phone interview. Zora Gray has been dead for over five years.

There is a rumour being spread that the Lupines are stockpiling and fortifying their areas. It might be in preparation for war, though no Lupine is available for comment.

Death and the Kindred/ North Bay. An unknown Kindred was slain in the North Bay area this week. It is rumoured that the slain Kindred was escorting another Kindred from Toronto, when he was ripped to shreds by forces unknown. It seems that North Bay is an unhealthy place for the uninvited these days.

A delegation of Samedi have made overtures to the Inner Circle to become full members of the Camarilla. These meetings, held in an unknown location in Europe, have raised many interesting points that may be tabled for discussion at the next Grand Conclave. The Giovanni delegation is also reported to be talking to the Inner Circle in response to the expected repercussions of such an alliance.
