PCs head to Elysium. Leran introduces himself. Casey and the girls approach Leran to say hello. PCs are approached by the Sheriff and given an assignment— check out a blood bank where people are starting to notice blood going missing. PCs head in that direction and make their way into the building. Leran receives a call from his sire asking him to retrieve a book from Helena Voss. After the call, digging around is performed, and a lone lab tech is confronted.
PCs learn that David Park (the lab tech) has been sneaking out supply to try to treat his grandmother. PCs agree to help him out and agree to get him to stop. Arrangements are made to keep an eye on him to ensure he is telling the truth/keeps his word. PCs head to Celeste and Lisette’s, where Leran is going to stay temporarily.
PCs head back to Elysium so Leran can get his Primogen’s advice on the book matter. Arthur (the Primogen) offers up that he might be able to bargain with her. Meanwhile, Celeste plays a game with the Malkavians, and Lisette talks to her clan mates, trying to find a teacher for The Green Path.
Maya suggested to Lisette that she doesn’t want to let Celeste win, as the prize is a Malkavian sleepover. Lisette eventually gets her away, and Celeste gets it stuck in her head to throw her own sleepover. The coterie is approached— the Prince wants to meet with them. They meet in a private room, where he asks about the blood bank deal, and says he’ll take care of it.
Leran is kicked out, and he asks the remaining PCs their opinion on him. They give honest assessments that he seems ok before he is brought back in. Leran is informed that he is allowed to stay, as he has been vouched for— which is good, considering the Prince was ready to end him on account of who Leran’s sire is.
Helena visits and learns about the book situation. She offers to give it in exchange for a Life Boon, but Leran declines, asking if she would be willing to bargain for something else. She says she will think on it, then leaves. A short time later, Victor appears, introducing himself to Leran.
After, there is some issue with random text messages form a hacker being sent to the group. After some back and forth, they get him to agree to a meetup. Upon meeting, they find a sixteen-year-old Billy, and later learn that he is a shifter. When they split for the evening, Maddie gives him a ride home, and feeds from him. Casey drops off the rest before heading home himself.
