Glad to have your interest Sonatina! Here is what I have for you (and The New Yorker too)...

It is approximately a year following the ending of the last episode of Pieces of 8, wherein the original characters stopped an ancient vampire named Decima from gaining control of all the ancient vampire bloodlines, and the extreme power contained within them. The power of the bloodlines had been separated into eight individual objects, with each one being cared for by a vampire lord. They were known as the Pieces of 8, and if Decima gathered up all the Pieces, she would possess the means to completely destabilize both the human world, and the Veiled World. 

Decima was defeated through a couple of ways: the first being Siya (played by Lillian Thorne) absorbing the power from one of the Pieces that had belonged to her creator; the second was by basically severing her soul from its connection to any realm that would allow her to exist. This was done by Max/Thad (played by tirgesfu) being purposefully killed by Daisy (played by DotCom), and sent to the realm of the dead to carry out that mission. 

In the current installment of the RP, even though Decima was destroyed, her near success has changed the Veiled World. Old prejudices and new plots for control of the world’s destiny have come to a head. This begins with the werewolf governing body, the Lupus Naturae, restarting a sort of ethnic cleanse within their ranks, and hunting down werewolf groups and individuals they deem to be subversive or unworthy. One of those that are being hunted is Reginald Hoyle’s sister, Aislinn Hoyle. 

When this episode began, Atticus (played by me) has just discovered a means to retrieve Max/Thad from the realm of the dead, when he is contacted by Reginald Hoyle for an urgent assignment. The assignment turns out to be the protection of Aislinn from the Lupus Naturae. While assembling a team to carry out this mission, Atticus also gathers a group to go and retrieve Max/Thad’s soul. 

The protection of Aislinn is an immediate failure, as she is almost assassinated by a pair of water spirits that somehow discover her whereabouts. It is initially a mystery as to why water spirits would have any interest in killing a werewolf. Aislinn's wounds are tended to, and she and the group that had come to protect her return to the London Branch of Bain & Hoyle to recover. 

As a result of the attack on Aislinn, it is becoming apparent that the Lupus Naturae are working with a spirit of the north known as the Lady of Ice, or Ice Queen, to achieve their ends. This explains why water spirits were sent to kill Aislinn. This evidence, coupled with other pieces of information, has led the Bain & Hoyle group to believe this Lady of Ice is using the Lupus Naturae to begin the events of Ragnarök, for an as of yet unknown purpose. She intends to begin these events by freeing the Norse god-wolf Fenris. 

Meanwhile, the group sent to recover Max/Thad is successful. Using an Ancient Egyptian artifact, Max/Thad is able to remove himself from the realm of the dead, and meet up with the Bain & Hoyle agents that were initially sent to save him. Upon doing so, this group also returns to the London Branch. 

This is about where we are at now. The agents are hanging about the castle where the London Branch is housed, waiting for the next move to be announced by Bain and Hoyle. Unbeknownst to the player characters is a group of werewolves gathering outside of the castle in preparation for an attack.

I know this is a lot of info, but you have to understand that this RP has been going on for a while. Please don’t be daunted by the story thus far, as I can assure you assimilation into the story can be easily done. 

If you have further questions please feel free to ask away!

@DotCom-Yeah, you’re fine wherever. Nothing has changed. Daisy might be in an interesting location when the werewolves decide to come knocking ;).
