Some Blades I designed as a simple Athame. 

New versions of a Garou's Klaive.

Plot: Bad Moon

Something has turned the moon BLOOD RED and it is affecting supernatural creatures throughout the city. Although the phenomonea of the Blood Moon is not -necessarily- something supernatural, the rising of this moon has caused Garou to rage more quickly and vampires to act nearly drunk. For every night the Blood Moon is in the sky the whole of the supernatural world has been lit up and no one knows why.

• This is basically a quest to uncover what has caused the moon to turn red unnaturally, stop the effect it is having upon the Supernatural community and maintain some level of control within the city over the Masquerade / Veil / etc.

Specifics

• Vampires are walking around as though they were drunk, high on catnip or had just drained a friggen fairy.
• Garou are entering into their rage-phase far more easily than they should. What's worse - they are -STAYING- enraged.
• Magi are noticing that odd plants are taking over abandoned fields and lots throughout the city, growing at an alarming rate every night the blood moon is in the sky.

Plot: Blessings of Bathory

The local museum is showing off a bit of jewelry from famous women. There's the crown of this, the ring of that and so on. Nothing too interesting for most people but one item in particular has the promise of evil. Within the show is the blood ruby pendant of none other than Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the famous 'Bloody Countess' who was known to bathe in the blood of virgins to retain her youth and beauty. With the jewelry on display, several oddities have been happening at the museum. For every night that the show has been open to the public the museum's security alarms have all gone off at the stroke of midnight. Specifically the internal motion sensors have registered movement in the Natural History wing where an Egyptian Mummy is on display. Coincidence, right?

Rumors

• Vampires would get word that some 'interesting' artifacts might have arrived in town. Tremere, especially, might be on the look out for items in the display.
• Magi might have gotten word that there are parties interested in the jewelry on display and need one piece in particular for something dark. Perhaps there is a wonder hidden among the baubles?

Plot: Gardens of Stone

The local cemetery in the city has had some statues go missing. Not just stolen or broken as sometimes happens when kids get bored and want to blow off steam - these states are moved.

One of the statues was found in town in front of someone's door - as though poised to knock. Another was found in someone's backyard as though it was looking up at a window. Still even more odd, people have noticed that new statues have begun appearing in the cemetery. The grounds keeper has not been able to spot how the thieves have made off with them or who has donated their replacements but he's awful spooked by it.

One of the 'new' statues that have been found in the cemetery looks strikingly like someone who was reported missing a few nights ago. He was on his way home - walking since his car had a flat tire and never made it back. Someone reported that the statue looks -uncannily- like the missing man, even down to the set of his eyes. It would seem as though someone were playing a very cruel joke.

Music Concept Theme

Plot: Querquetum

Missing children. It's always every parent's worse nightmare. Where have they gone? Did they run away? Did someone take them? In this case - it's almost like they just sleep-walked out of the house and were never seen again.

• This is basically a quest to uncover what is pulling the children from their beds, where are they going, who is responsible and how to stop it.

Music Concept Theme Specifics

• By the time that this event will go active, at least a dozen kids will have been 'taken'.
• Several witnesses, mostly those folks who are out late at night doing gods-know-what, have reported seeing the children walking through the city in a dazed, sleeping state and heading towards the forest.
• The eye-witness accounts have all been dismissed due to the poor character of the person making the statement; drug dealers, known prostitutes, etc.

Rumors

• Garou: Whispers of the spirits of nature suggest that a small corner of the forest has been claimed by a dark power and they refuse to enter.
• Magi: Word has it that there may be a Verbena-Barabi working in the area. Who knows what she is up to but you can bet she's probably the one behind these kidnappings.
• Vampires: One young vamp was reported to have stopped one of the older children. The child -threw- the vampire across the city block without even exerting effort. That's when the witness' statement gets a bit iffy. The witness claims that vines shot up out of the ground and impaled the vampire - immobilizing him until the sun rose the next morning.

What is Known

• By the time that this event will go active, at least a dozen kids will have been 'taken'.
• Several witnesses, mostly those folks who are out late at night doing gods-know-what, have reported seeing the children walking through the city in a dazed, sleeping state and heading towards the forest.
• The eye-witness accounts have all been dismissed due to the poor character of the person making the statement; drug dealers, known prostitutes, etc.

Plot: Queen of Hearts

The infamous serial killer has struck again. Four murders in as many weeks. Each victim left with their heart ripped out of their chest. Every city in America has had to deal with a killer in one form or another in its history and Prospect is no stranger to death. These murders, however, are different. The victims are random - ranging in age, sex, body type and occupation. They are found at various points around the city in no obvious pattern. One thing is certain - the hearts were not cut out by a knife. Damage to the bodies indicate that the ribs were broken -in- to the chest cavity as though the person was struck with some heavy object that broke through the rib cage and then extracted the heart. NO defensive wounds have been found on any of the victims suggesting that they did not fight their attacker in any way.

• This is basically a quest to uncover what is ripping the hearts out of these people, what they are doing with them, and how to stop it. The event should have the over-arching theme of a Jack the Ripper case.

Music

Concept Theme

Specifics

• Victim #1: Black Betty. A caucasion woman in her late thirties with raven-black hair of average height and weight and mother of two. Waitress.
• Victim #2: Tiny Tim: A small man, only eighteen years old and a student at the University. Small in size, only five-foot-six. Single.
• Victim #3: Sunshine Sue: A young woman with blonde hair wearing a sunflower printed top in her mid-twenties. Counseling case worker. By all accounts a beautiful woman.
• Victim #4: Mighty Mark: A powerfully built man in his late twenties. Excellent physical condition and an ex-marine now working in private security.

Rumors

• Street: A prostitute swears that she saw #4 speaking with an older woman only twenty minutes before he was found dead.
• Magi: The hearts were taken - someone trying to ramp up their life magic? A rote to rewrite their age?
• Vampires: A vampire could easily rip the heart out of a victim but why? Such a waste of blood and so much attention. Wait - wasn't there a Nosferatu in Chicago about 60 years ago that liked to kill men that way?

Plot: Babylon Halloween, 2

The beasts and the vamps all intermingle upon the dance floor and begin a choreographed version of Michael Jackson's Thriller. The audience loses their mind. Applause, curses and cheers rise up from the crowd as the last 'act' of the Halloween party kicks into full gear.

After the beasts and vampires have cleared the stage, the entertainment manager - a man named Frank - grabs the mic on the stage and tries to get everyone's attention. "Well, did everyone have a good time tonight?" He calls out to the cheers and hoops of the audience. "Tonight," Frank continues, "...we had a few contests. Our Backers have phoned in and told us who they have chosen for the three prizes of Sexiest, Most Scariest and Funiest." He pauses a bit to read off from some index cards on who has won what. Beside him, the stripper witches and dancing shot-boys fan out on the stage and hold cauldrons which appear to be the prizes. "And the Backers have decided, that for the Sexiest costume tonight...it's Miss Elvira...queen of the night! Come on up here!"

Elvira crosses her legs and sits back against the bar, then blinks when the wolves and the vampers start to... dance. Feeling the complete idiot for thinking they were real wolves, she's blushing pretty bad when they call out the winner of the sexiest costume. "Huh, I wonder who tha--" Wait. "Are you kidding me?" Looking down to make sure she's still really not falling out of the dress, she goes beet red. "Oh god." Maybe no one will notice her if she slumps down a bit, one hand raised to shield her face.

Frank, standing up on the stage, sends two of the shot-boys into the crowd to 'help' Elvira up out of her chair and up so that she can claim her prize. No doubt that she is exhausted from running through all the guys minds. "Come on folks, make her feel welcome."

Oh no! They found her! Looking left and right, she tries to find an escape route, but no. At least the pale face makeup helps hide some of that blush, right? Casting a 'save me!' look back towards the Knight, Elvia shuffles along between the two gents escorting her to the stage. Should have gone home to raid on the computer. Ventrilo would be less shameful.

After Elvira -finally- makes it onto the stage, one of the dancing shot-boys walks over to her and hands her the large, plastic cauldron as her prize. A quick photo is taken (which seems odd as Babylon usually frowns on people having cameras of any kind) of the winner and her hunk of a prize-holder and the man escorts her off the stage.%R%R"Now...," Frank continues, "...For Funniest Costume. The Backers have decided that Mister Pink Bunny Man," he reads off the cards, "is the winner!" The audience turns and searches for the person named and eventually spots Harvey with his pink fur and rabbit tail. "Come on up here man and claim your prize!"

Harvey blinks as he is singled out and directed to the stage. He hops over, apparently having springs in his legs.

Frank, standing up on the stage, sends two of the witches into the crowd to 'help' Harvey up out of his chair and up so that he can claim his prize. No doubt that he is exhausted from all that...well, you know what bunnys do. "Come on folks, make him feel welcome."

After Harvey spring-hops his way onto the stage, one of the dancing witches walks over to him and hands over the large, plastic cauldron as his prize and bends forward to plant a small kiss upon his little pink nose. Another quick photo is taken of the winner and his two beautiful prize-helpers escorts him off the stage.

"And lastly...," Frank continues, "...the Scariest Costume." He breathes a little heavy - as though this was worrying him. Pulling out a handkerchief he dabs his forehead a bit before finishing his thought. "The Backers have decided that," and he has to pause to lean in to read the words on the card because they don't exactly make sense. "Uh... creepy grandfather guy with the little girl puppet..." He looks around, "Who the hell is that?" Checking the card once more he reads off the last of the card again and adds, "is the winner!" The audience turns and searches for the person named and eventually spots Sebastion with his pink fur and rabbit tail. "Come on up here uh...'man' and claim your prize!"

"Yes Grace, we won." he says softly as he rises, "Tonight, I be Albert Fish my good man." as he chuckles and makes his way to the stage. Before reaching he violently pulls forth the puppet sowed onto his side and rips the head from it. He bites into the stuffing and pulls the cotton out maddening before reliquishining a smile to the Audience. "The name is Sebastion, Frank." as he approaches the stand.

This time there were no escorts that left the stage to help the winner up. Nope. Both the shot boys, including the younger one named 'Never' stand stock-still as though they weren't going to approach the scary winner with a ten-foot pole. Frank, nervously 'urges' the remaining cast members - the four witches and four shot-boys - to gather around Sebastion for the photo. Once complete, Never presents the man with the cauldron and helps walk him off stage since no one else seems willing.

The headless doll lies torn ripped from its body. Sebastion is led away by Never to recieve his prize. A sound comes from the dolls head, "I'll be back." with a chuckle at the end,.

Once the prizes are awarded, Frank vacates the stage and the DJ picks back up with the music to play for another hour to let people filter out and leave the party in their own time and in their own way. The 'stripper witches' circulate around the party now that their job is done. The shot boys are off the clock and are able to go flirt and hang out with whomever they'd like. The beasts and the vampires even make their own fun by posing with several people around the party for candid pictures.

Happy Halloween!

Musical Play List
As you enter the room you see that they have the preserved the usual layout of tables along the wall opposite the entrance with a bar to your right, booths to the left and the stage along the far, right wall. Lighting rigs have been constructed to illuminate and cast shadows over various parts of the warehouse to create the proper mood for tonight and to differentiate the event from 'just another night' at Babylon. Each section has its corresponding color of lighting which mix and blur with the decorations. The Bar area is lit by a series of cool blue lights and has a cool, skeletal and undead theme associated with it. The bartenders are dressed in black with skin-tight, skeletal t-shirts with skull-face makeup to complete their look. The drinks are served in a variety of containers and many have been tinted to glow with blue LEDs in the base or stem of the cup.

The stage area with the live band is lit by a vibrant, orange-yellow glow and has a pseudo jack-o-lantern theme to it. Though difficult to see through all of the intense lighting rigs, the stage is surrounded by small pumpkin lanterns that also emit a orange-yellow glow to illuminate the boundaries of the platform so the performers don't wander too close and accidentally fall.

The tables, where people can rest their dancing feet, enjoy their drinks and company is illuminated by a goblin-green series of soft lights that casts spooky shadows here and there. Several of the tables have small mounted to their tops with LED lights to simulate something bubbling inside.

The dance floor, center, is light directly by a series of blue-white LEDs mounted to a lighting grid hanging over head and to the side.

Nearby and in the corner between the stage and the bar is the DJ booth for when the live performers need a break. The booth has an arch of lighting rigs behind and over the stations so that he can see and be seen by others.

Setting

Read here what has happened so far if you come in late:

The party started, quite literally, after the sun went down. Once the city was officially bathed in darkness and the street lights turned on, the warehouse at the corner of Broadway and Second streets lit up with their projected light show to advertise their Halloween Party. The music is playing, the drinks are flowing, the costumes range from classical, 1920's flappers to the latest in latex-based creature makeup. A prize will be awarded later in the evening for funniest costume, scariest and sexiest.

The pale blue lights of the dance floor flash and pulse in time with the music while the soft, erie, green glow of the lights over the tables remain constant. People begin circulating in and around the floor - just getting the feel for the place. Not everyone has come in costume - some have come in normal 'street' clothes and in some cases, less. Guys and gals dressed in skimpy underwear wander around the floor enjoying the freedom that tonight brings.

The DJ-controlled music pauses for a moment as a live band, a local product that's been making the scene lately called 'Steel Snowflake', starts to play. The band's lead singer, a tall, willowy girl with fire for hair and porcelain for skin grabs the mic and stands center stage as the orange-yellow lights kick up as some god-aweful notes comes out of some strange horn-like instrument played by a guy in the back.

(OOC LINK: Fever Ray )

The crowd seems to respond well to the live band. Not that the DJ is bad but it's just fun to have a real band for big events like this. After the tall, willowy girl finishes her song, the band takes a moment to reorganize itself and now a young guy walks up to the front, center of the stage and takes the mic. With hair that's a bit too long for his face and pants that are tight enough that you could probably tell his religion, he starts to let his sultry, voice call out the first lyrics of their second song. "...Running up that Hill," the band echoes in chorus.

(OOC Link: http://youtu.be/TTvP-KT23_M Daybreakers] )

Once the band has played their three songs, the DJ takes back over so that they can have a rest. The music starts off with a spotlight hitting the corner of the room that's on the opposite side of the stage. Six women, all dressed as witches complete with their booms, start to walk - nay...STALK, towards the center of the dance floor in choreographed steps until they find the center. While the music plays from the surrounding speakers, the witches begin to entice the men (and some of the women) in the audience by flirting with their brooms as though they were a modified stripper pole.

(OOC Links: women and music )

The erotic-witches were quite a sight. Their costumes were skimpy and revealing but not overly so. How they used their 'brooms' as props still has several guys, and a few of the gals, wanting to go take a ride with a 'witchy woman' and see how high she flies. That being said, and not to let the guys be out matched, the six guys who were wandering around the room acting as Shot-Boys have set down their trays on the bar and stalked out into the center of the dance floor under the glow of the blue-white lights. The music, though not sung by a guy, is definitely high-tempo. The men, even the young one named 'Never', spin, girate and entice the woman, and a few men, to watch and enjoy themselves.

(OOC Link: http://tinyurl.com/ob3xqco and http://youtu.be/NaBfnmVwDt8 )

The men finish their song and the audience applauds. Several of the guys walk out to quickly score some tips from the men and women holding up folded bills. Pappa gotta get PAID. While the music is in a lull in between songs, the crowd's natural thrum of conversations, movement and the like is suddenly split by A blood-curdling scream. Not a hollywood scream but a real, 'Oh god, something's wrong and I'm going to die' scream. The audience isn't sure if its part of the performances or if it's something real. Another scream - and yes, it's a real one from a woman over by the bathrooms in the far corner. Eight beasts can be seen stalking through the audience with a near-feral gate. Standing easily over seven feet in height and with reverse-bending legs, the beasts look like some kind of human-like wolf with long claws, pointed ears and mouths that drip saliva as their maws snap at nearby patrons.

(OOC Link: http://tinyurl.com/oork6m9 )

Music starts to kick up in the background - as though the DJ had a set already arranged and didn't think to hit stop when everthing began to go wrong and people panic. From the -ceiling-, five men, each dressed in leather trench coats with GLOWING blue eyes, drop down with a feline grace and without making a sound. As if they possessed some kind of supernatural grace, they each land in a line as if in opposition to the oncoming beasts. They look sleek, mean and ready for a fight. People scatter getting out of their way so that the center of the dance floor is open in case a fight breaks out.

(OOC Link: http://tinyurl.com/pawqjlv and http://youtu.be/P3Su4zkLIcg )

As if on cue, the Beasts charge into the dance floor's open spot to take down the vamps. The vamps charge in to kill the werewolves and....what happens can only be described as an affront to the senses.
