Fiesta del redentore

An envelope mysteriously floats through the air. You reach your fingertips out to grasp it but no need to fret, it seems to place itself delicately between them.

"You have been Chosen." The words bleed across the cover of the envelop as the wind seems to whisper them in your ear.

The envelope opens ...

During the middle ages, a great plague swept the western world laying to waste all in its path. The human population was decimated. The Chosen refer to this time as ... The Great Famine.

With over 50,000 humans lost in Venexia alone, the Chosen feared the Great Famine may be their end but the Chosen, being the dominant species they are, survived!

It is THIS MOMENT OF SURVIVAL that we, the Chosen of Venexia, celebrate our eternal life with the Festival of the Redeemer and it is THIS MOMENT in history that triggered the revelation that all Chosen demonstrate their dominance, stepping out from the masquerade!

Join us in celebrating our Eternal Chosen life ...

((OOC NOTE: This event has been designed to span a wide time range so that hopefully many time zones can join the RP. While the events may start at 11am SLT, mini-events will be staged throughout the day so that hopefully all time zones can take advantage. Additional event details will be forth-coming. We also request the event stay IC only so we ask that all participants keep OOC chat in local to a minimum. We hope you all get to develop role-play, story lines, and most of all have fun and we hope to see as many of you as possible.

Please contact EleniAmbroso Resident if you would like to be directly involved with some of the mini-events that are being planned - we are looking for some great actors to get involved!))

Questions and opinions.

'Questions and opinions' is a new heading to share our advices, ideas and opinions answering to a specific question concerning our borghesia's life. This last day, here is the question i got :

" Can i be hurted during a rental ? And if i am hurted, what i have to do ? "

Elder's answer : " As you are working for the Court, you are under the protection of the rules. Any bites are different... So, some Chosens bites with sweetness like others are more violent. This is our fate, we are humans and we need to deal with that and the vampire who rented us. Of course, they need to respect the protection of the Court and, i think, it could be bad if they threaten or torture you. In that case, you must speak to your Elder and a meeting will be organized to have a talk with the Coven leader concerned or a Prosecutor (if the vampire is a outlander) to see if a report can be done. "

If you have any advices or opinions about this question, feel free to share it with us.

Welcome in the family...

Since few, our family is the alone one in Venexia and most of borghesia are lost in the city : some just arrived or another just lost their leader and family. We need to take care of them because the Chosens fast lure them to transform them in Blood Gaunt ! As blood Gaunt, they are addicted to the vampire's blood and become dependant of the vampires...

So, all borghesia must know that they are welcome in our family. If of course, they are ready to respect our simple rules. We need to encourage them to gather by joining or creating a borghesia family.

You want to join our precious family ? Just meet the Elder of Cuore Prezioso, Gioia Selvaggia... She don't bites.

Gossip talks and questioning.

The winds brought me this...

Juliet, the Elder of Vita Borghesia disappeared. No one can tell about what happened to her. Did she leave Venexia for some long travels in the world ? Did a Chosen drained her too much to finally kill her ? For sure, we lost a fabulous lady. I hope all is fine for her.

Lady Zandra lost her favorite chosen, Auditore. This signore left the coven to join the luxurious Karnsteini coven. Perhaps she was tired of him ? Or maybe something worse happened between them ? Some said it was a sexual misunderstanding... perhaps the reason for Signore Auditore to join the Karnsteini ?

The Green Dragon

Who will be the owner of Green dragon Inn ? A Boghesia of course !
This famous inn must stay in the hands of borghesia's family and i do hope all of you will make a clever vote when the time will ask you to give your opinion.

Of course, i run for the leadership of this old Inn and i would like you to encourage me .. or any other borghesia running also. If you feel motive enought to be the owner, feel free to be a canditate. I will be happy to see a lot of you interested by the ownership.

If not, support a borghesia ... or simply your Elder.

Just keep in mind : the Green Dragon is a borghesian establishment, our hight quarter where the rental board is... So, the Green Dragon must stay ours !

Change about Borghesia.

Borghesia will no longer be automatically protected by Venexia Court.
They will now sign up for work each day as Court Blood.
Once they sign up for this job they will appear on the rental board which will be moved to the Green Dragon Inn.
When a Borghesia enters the sim they will not have the protection of the Court until they sign up for work.
A Vampire should always have checked the board before approaching a Borghesia to ascertain their rental status. In Fact the probability is that they will be rentable so the Vampires should always consider this.
If a Borghesia is not on the board then they fall under the same game rules as Paesani
Please note:
There is no OOC protection for Borghesia.
If there was it would give them an OOC advantage over the Vampires, and would be wholly unrealistic in RP.
What they do have however is the right to report the offending vampire to the new Inquisitora group who are bound by law to prosecute the offending Vampire.
The Vampire will then receive a heavy fine and possibly further punishment if they re offend.

Shops and business.

It is time to vote. Some venexians are running to rule a shop in Venexia... So, your vote is important.
Don't forget to give your support to your favorite person. Voting scroll is in the Guild Hall, in front of the Rental Board for Blood Court.

First, there is five venexians running for the bakery. Make your choise
Oneida Oompa (Borghesia)
Roscoe Viper (Paesani)
Anpao Resident (Borghesia)
Aurora1 Starfall (Paesani)
Pushka Damour (Paesani)

You can also vote for the venexian who you wish to become the owner of the Roman Bath. There are 2 candidates:
- Brittainy Collins
- Pushka Damour

If your character is interested in running either the Doctor’s Office or the Tavern at the Docks, please sign up as applicant at the Voting Board (at the Guild Hall). Serious Interest in RP. No Alts.

Tell me more about you... Gisele.

What is your complete name ?

Gisele Bellerose

How old are you ?

19

Can you tell some words about your past and origins ?

Born to a Noble family in a small village on the borders of France.

Why you chose to be a Blood of the Court, a Borghesia ?

The Chosen came after her Father, his right to own and maintain his Nobleman status permitted if he promised to give his daughter to the Court..he had attempted to keep me hidden from them.

Tell us some words about your temper.

I am calm, poised, well mannered, and respectful until pushed too far, I will always defend my family, and honor.

Three qualities.

Calm, level headed, helpful

Three defaults.

A bit cloud headed at times, defensive, too sweet.

If I tell you ‘bite’, what you think about ?

Giving blood or being base in nature and biting as a form of defense.

What is the taste of your blood ?

Sweetly innocent, with the quality of good breeding (As if noble blood could have a distinct taste.)

What is your worse fear ?

Drowning..very simple.

What do you expect from a vampire ?

A small measure of respect, as I am living, breathing, and speaking food...

Food and drink influence the taste of our blood. So, what is your favorite dish and drink ?

Favorite food..veil with roasted potatoes and carrots. Favorite drink, Sauvignon Blanc

Tell me your favorite color, clear or dark. This can reveal a lot about you.

Light cornflower blue.

Drakul, Festival of Light.

The Sabat Drakul organizes a big festival of light with a lot of events who will be held during five days !
All Chosens and humans are welcome to take part at the festivities.

Doge Mathias is looking for some humans for a special race/hunt. If you are interested to be part of that race, feel free to contact him by IM, in world.

I wait for more informations from him about this search and i inform you as soon as possible !

How can i defend you ?!

As Elder of this family, i need sometimes to defend our members against troubles and problems. Of course, i need proofs to build my defense. So, when you are in troubles or if the RP went wrong, i ask you to copy all on a notecard and send it to me. The better way is to find me in Venexia and play the IC report... that is an evidence.

If the RP went in OOC drama, i guess you are enough adult to deal with and don't bring the family in this (and me by the way). If i get report about your OOC behaviour during a rp, if i get OOC complaints about you... I'll try to help you but, of course, i need to get a copy of your ooc talks to know about the correct facts and then judge about the situation and act correctly.

You must know i am here to lead, help and defend... every people of my family.
Lead this family by taking some important decisions, creating roleplays, ...
Help this family by listening and explaining ICly and OOcly the life in Venexia.
Defend this family by taking report and finding a way to get you out of troubles.

So, as i do my best to be present for you, making my Elder's job... I want you to respect the rules of this family !

The Curious Quest cancelled.

I decided to cancel the game/rp 'Curious Quest' because i did not get enought inscriptions for the game.
I feel a bit disappointed that not so much Borghese were interested in a rp... a rp who could help you to build some IC interactions.

Well, i think i will wait a bit before building a new rp for another players than me. This is a lot a work that i share with leadership and my own fun in Venexia.

So Family and friends, i am still around as Cuore Prezioso's Elder and feel free to find me if you need help and support.

Also, i thank all people who still believe in me and my work ... who support me by sponsoring my events with G$ gold or gifts.
Thank you to :
- Silena Constantine, DeRais, Praecipito Caelitus
- Asya Jolles, Lestat, Danse Macabre

We lost a human...

We know what we lost... we don't know what we gain...

This sunday march 10, we lost a human , a Borghesia, a friend... This sunday was terra's turning.
As a good friend of him, i was present with a few Borghese to bring some humanity in this event... to be witness of Chosens violence, horror... to share the pain of a human and of course, to show i respect the choise of my friend.

A lot of Chosens from all Sabats were present to help Lady Zandra during this ceremony... especially to drain the Chosen in becoming.
After the cruel 'kill' of Terra, the Demonican's Elder proceeded to the rebirth of Terra, using ancestral powers.

Finally, as i expressed the wish to Lady Zandra, i was the chosen human to feed the new greedy vampire, leaving him to suck my precious vitality. Even if Terra is my friend, i can't tell you all the mixed feelings i felt... Right at this moment, when he bit me, he was not my sweet friend Terra... He was more a famished Chosen.

Warning ~ DeRais's agression.

Dear Famiglia,

This is just a warning for you. There is two young Ladies DeRais who joined Praecipito Caelitus. Both of them are quite teasing all humans and vampires they meet. They use their DeRais's skills to force you to do things you don't want to do.
The two sisters are called Sion and Lanna De'Rais and they have no fear to attack every people who resists to them.

Yesterday, i was forced to play their game, unable to resist at their skills... They also threatened me that i was obliged to defend myself ! Fortunately, the Chosen was weakened by her thirst and i was full of fear and rage... good mixture to keep me alive.
Later, the DeRais ladies had fun with Lady Zandra and her servant man, forcing them to undress in the middle of the street... And all went worse at Arsenal, even for me.

So, i tell you, sisters and brothers, be careful from these two ladies and all DeRais in general. The Praecipito Caelitus members are all dangerous. THEY ARE ALL DANGEROUS !

Gioia, Cuore Prezioso's Elder.

Pin Up of March.

We must congratulate Leyla, our dear sister, for becoming the pin up model for the sensual month of March

Think you have what it takes to be the sexy model for April ? Lets see those paintings ! Enter for a double prize... details coming soon on the Debosciati Rose's newspaper.

Find a good job...

Find a job in Venexia is very important and useful for yourself but also for your friends. First, find a job who suits correctly to your personnality... you will feel better if you enjoy your work. Second, you will get skills and earn golden coins to buy food for your health.
http://community.socionex.com/sgs/jobs-skill-training/

At someplaces, you will receive goods for the good work you did. I think this is important to ta have a job like this because you can sell or exchange your goods with other humans and then, help them and also youself. If you exchange your goods to sell, you will get goods to use for yourself. And it is free food ! So, where to find such a job ?
