The Vampire Lounge Hosts Comedy Night With Great Success

Laughs, smiles, and good energy were the order of the night for Comedy Night at Vamp’s Lair’s premier nightclub, the Vampire Lounge.  Gates were magically placed allowing visitors from Luna and Britain to easily access. Soon the guests took their chair and the lights dimmed as the stage lit up.  The jokes starting to pour out…

This is the photo album from that night.  Be sure to join us next month for more social events at Vamp’s Lair and Umbra.

Vamp’s Lair Grand Opening Set for July 4th, 10 PM EST

We have been working terribly hard, and digging deep in our pockets, for the past few months on recreating the city that many old timers recognize as Vamp’s Lair.  A vampire city made exclusively for the intermingling of all role playing types — vampire, human, or otherwise — Vamp’s Lair will host numerous events every single week with special events throughout the year for all citizens of Sosaria.

Now its time to show off what we’ve done so far, and hopefully continue to add to it as we go along.

Umbra Hosts A Merchant’s Fair

It was just barely the clock’s strike when our lady arose. She had summoned the elders to the Dark Tower for an important meeting and the event coordinator, Thomas Bladswell — a human, was at her side already spewing off about problems that did not much concern Pandora.  As she walked, he followed… I followed.  The meeting hall was soon filled with the Centurians and Ancients of the coven;  those that could well sustain the light of day.  I quickly took my chair at the desk made for the scribes, I listened and I wrote.

“M’lady,  we have acquired word from the merchants that two previously confirmed are unable to make the date.”  The fair Roslyn stated.

Lady Roslyn Bosworth had once been a lady in waiting to great Queen Elizabeth the I. She came of royal blood and her poise and composure always showed her high society.  She had been unfortunate one evening as she encountered a rogue that turned her into a vampire and left her almost immediately; disshelved, confused, and with an extreme thirst she did not understand.  Much like the famed Lestat,  she had to learn what she was on her own. Having met Pandora and Marius, it was he that urged Pandora to take up her care.  Marius was very fond of Roslyn, but she barely knew him as anything more than a mentor that taught her the new ways of immortality that we all share.  Through the many centuries Roslyn developed a more unique closeness to Pandora. As one of the oldest living female vampires, Pandora was a role model to many.

A New Kind of Storytelling?

The campfire was lit, and all around us mortals sat to listen to Lord Nathael tell the tale of “Tobias and Razzle”.  He stood in the center and as he flipped open the book, he began…

All in attendance, which included a few known pale skins, silenced as Nathael spoke.  I turned to see that the great Rameses was in attendance and he nodded to acknowledge me. A beauty stood at his side, Lauranna was her name, also a pale skin.  Rameses introduced her as his beloved.  As I looked around the room I saw the familiar faces of many mortal whom had come to the defense of Red Skull Bay.  I had taken some blows for some of these mortals, interesting enough.  One name I had been searching for was Va’lis, but I did not see him in attendance.  Someone mentioned that he had presented himself but had an urgent calling that took his attention elsewhere.  But those in my coven started to show…  Damien and Pierceton… and soon there were just as many vampires as there were mortals.  A pretty odd occurrence for the mortals.

Pleb’s Return to Britain

From the Children of Darkness, Pleb, Weilder of Pain; Vampire:

Pleb hadn’t been in Britain much recently, having journeyed to the island states to learn of its histories and traditions. But was back now at the bidding of his recently returned Dark Queen.

Pleb robe through the streets of Britain, summoned by the Dark Queen he had long thought lost to Sosaria.

He was travelling to a meeting at the Counsellor’s Meeting Hall to hear Lord Kasaven speak to the masses about a new dread menace that was threatening the whole world.

Upon arriving at the hall he dismounted and entered to see a large crowd jostling for space in the cramp building. Spotting a familiar sight not seen for many a year, he pushed his way through to stand by Pandora.

“Hail Dark Lady, tis an honour to serve at your side again” then a little quieter added “Even if it is at the side of the living”.

After pleasantries were exchanged Pleb sat down next to Pandora and waited for the Arrival of Kasaven who was expected to arrive shortly to start this unusual meeting.
