jdotmi_gamingMy flight into Detroit Metro was a bit behind schedule, so I didn't wind up landing until about 18:00 local time. Jet lag is a total bitch, let me tell you. Made it to the Hotel in Ann Arbor I'm staying at until my assignment package comes in and dropped off my luggage. Need to arrange a house or condo to store my less campus-friendly materials.
I headed out to check out the local club scene. I found a fairly busy place called Necto-Helsing that had a line going down the block to get in. I dutifuly got in line and waited. Several other people just walked on in, ignoring the line and the cover charge.
I shoulda done that. Bugger.
I made it inside, past what could easily be the second tallest bouncer I had ever seen, and had myself a good ol' time inside the club. It became apparent rather quickly that the patrons of the club were a little less eclectic than I had hoped. Just from reading a dozen or so Auras while inside I found 4 Kindred of various ages, a couple people playing with Magical abilities, and a couple Faeries.
I think I love this place. So many monsters to kill, so little time!
I headed out and back to my hotel room. Good ol' Whistler was there waiting for me. He had my enrollment package from the University of Michigan, complete with a dorm room assignment! Great fun. Getting to live in a Dormitory with a bunch of squeeling girls and party boys. Terribly amusing, in that way that isn't.
Whistler was watching The Spy Who Loved Me again. I guess I can only be glad that they didn't have movies back in his day, because he would never have gotten off the couch and become the monster he is today. Which means I'd probably be rotting in a moldy grave by now. Ah well.
Drank a bit of week-old Ventrue from my stash and read some pop-culture rags he gave me. I then opted to go to bed.
Morning came far too early for my taste, could be the entire four and a half hours of naptime I wound up with, but I definitely was ready to just hit snooze for about a day or so. I gathered up my luggage that I was taking with me to the Dormitory and headed off, getting my room assignment and moving my stuff in. My new roomate, a girl named Diana, came in looking a little slagged. She said she felt okay and thought we should get to know eachother better. With that, while I was finishing putting some boxes away, she went off to shower, came back, and began causing her brush to spring to her hand without touching it.
Another frickin mage. Terrific.
We spent the day shopping at Briarwood Mall, then headed out to Starbucks for a bite to eat. Amusing how all the Ghouls in there treated her like royalty or something. Of course, if they knew exactly what she had just brought into their elysium, they probably would have ripped her apart. After lunch, we hung out a while more and then headed out to a frat party.
God that was a bore. Some guy tried to get all rough and manly with her and she laid him out. Teriffic crunching sound as his head hit the wall. No permanent damage, unfortunately. His friend got all pissy and fang-faced on us and I convinced her to run away. Led him down a nice dark alley, beat the unliving piss out of him, filled a baggie with his blood, then ripped his head off.
Of course, I had to make it look good. Gave myself a nice bruise on my temple and ripped by dress a bit. Wouldn't do to blow my cover this early in the game.
Got fixed up a bit and headed to Necto-Helsing. Heh. Amusement. The Kindred present made a big fuss about her, and another Assamite came in, a fairly well known one at that, and made some big fuss over her as well. Looks like he had a pet Mage with him, who also made a big fuss. And a Lunatic was all over her and complaining that she had missed her date last night.
I came over and, well, recognized the woman. She was instantly attracted to me, not that I blame her, and was very confused as to whom to hit on.
What can I say. I've got some good genetic heritage to work with here.
Finally, she opted for the double date approach.
Oh this is going to be amusing. On an epic scale.
Continued our little flirty flighty routine and headed out of the club. We met the Lunatic downstairs and she asked if we were ready for our date.
"You know, I'm not really sure about this whole thing. I mean, I'm very flattered and all that you're interested, and I must admit I find the whole thing highly amusing, but...
"You're my bloody mother for Goddesses sake!"
