MASQUERADE BREACHES

• Aradia Mercoledi fed from a woman sitting right at the bar in Ladyhawk's, on a relatively slow weeknight. ^10/01/2022

• Dave Williams was Embraced in the showroom of the RadioShack in Flushing, Queens. Though the store was "closed early" and locked up, Aradia Mercoledi performed this profane rite with security cameras running. ^12/01/2021

• Leah McKenzie fed from a woman on stage, and in front of an audience, at the Mosh Pit. Perhaps it was all just part of the show? ^22/09/2020

• The bodies of two police officers were found in Woodlawn Cemetery. One officer — the suspected victim of a Satanic ritual — was bled dry atop a pile of exhumed corpses. His blood was further used to desecrate the sepulcher with profane symbols and phrases. The second officer was drained of all blood in the processing office near the cemetery's rear gate. His partner claims that a risen corpse was responsible for the attack — a corpse he himself shot several times to no effect. ^28/07/2020

• A suspicious car was found during the raid on Van Cortlandt Park. Though not explicitly connected to the gang activity that night, it was parked after hours. Furthermore, the modifications present don't appear to be strictly street legal. As such, it was towed to the local impound lot. The registration is under Aradia Mercoledi. ^28/07/2020

• Fire erupted at the Cherry Pit, burning enough of it to warrant an official investigation. Though nothing overtly supernatural was found, two corpses and a pile of miscellaneous body parts aroused further suspicion. Authorities are especially puzzled, as the state of decay seems to indicate that these murders occurred weeks beforehand. Official reports have indicated that the remains were the unfortunate victims of a human trafficking ring, with the fire perhaps being set to cover it up. The partial list of clients that was found ⁠— containing more than a few celebrities and politicians ⁠— has not been officially documented. ^16/06/2020

• Several subway passengers were present as members of the coterie and their Lasombra companion engaged a pair of hostile vampires. While the actual events were shrouded in darkness, the passengers were left in the violent aftermath of gore and severed limbs. Up to a dozen people also saw the coterie members leaving through the subway station covered in blood. Security camera footage may also exist. ^05/05/2020

• Members of the coterie were chased by a hijacked city bus. The driver and passengers were essentially held hostage until the perusing vampire intentionally crashed the bus. Two members of the coterie were seen exiting their van without injury, despite the severity of the wreckage. The van was a business asset of the Mosh Pit and is likely registered as such. Furthermore, the mangled body of the pursuing vampire was left in torpor in a nearby alley. Police arrived on the scene early enough that they were able to recover the body before dawn. ^05/05/2020

• Engaged in a shootout in the middle of a traffic jam. Witnesses report seeing several members of the coterie sustain gunshot wounds without being affected. Two of the bodies left behind show almost animal-like claw marks. A van matching the description of the one that the coterie fled in was later recovered by police, burned down to the frame on the shore of the Hudson River. It could not be conclusively linked to the scene however, as the license plates had been removed. ^05/05/2020

• Used the payphone outside of Avalon to setup a drug deal at JFK International Airport. Due to the already illicit activities of the Pendragons, the line was being monitored by the ATF. ^21/04/2020
