Chauncey had not attended the court so she met up with him to awkwardly complete that part of her punishment; to drink his blood.
Without a more detailed description of the goth who had been seen feeding, Jack doesn’t make much progress in her investigation. She is, however, directed to “Club Dolour” which is a local goth club. She decided that her next step would be to visit the club.
Another issue plaguing the city is the kindred known as the “blood thief”. Whoever they are, they have been feeding from kindred and then erasing their memories, Jack, herself, had been a victim in July while she’d been working on her bike. John Smith had been the victim a mere 11 days after her. Antonia in October in Club Diablo. Geoffrey Hunter in his haven in November. Other victims had been Magnar, Cassidy, Angus McDonald, Turpie and Kate. Jack collated a list of these attacks and passed it on to Edmuir Clegan who was going to use his 6th sense on it to see what he could find out.
Jack then visited the other domains to introduce herself as the new Scourge in Glasgow so that they would know who to contact before visiting. While there, she met with the Brujah to explain what happened with Magnar and the failed coup. She was honest with them about her current relationship with the new Prince… if they asked. The other topic she was interested in was what general feeling was about Queen Anne and her ambitions for the UK.
She was generally well received. And all courts seem to share a gladness that Queen Anne’s puppet is no longer on the throne of Glasgow as they were feeling her influence and were worried Glasgow might be the first step to a united Kingdom of Britain, like it was under Mithras.
Most people seem to worry that the Tremere got their own domain, but to a lesser degree than they worried about Queen Anne trying to enforce her law over Scotland. Jack reckoned, based on the responses, that a few people would have liked to see Magnar succeed in his failed coup.
A portion of the month was spent working on Club Diablo. The previous security system had been installed by one John Smith of Smiths and Smiths. Staff remembered this odd looking fella with beige shorts, one sock pulled up the other over his cheap white trainers, and wearing a G.U.G.S. T-shirt.
Hating it, but seeing no other way to ensure the security of the nightclub in the face of potential threats against the masquerade, Jack ghouled the club manager and head bouncer. She’d hoped that Antonia had already done it and that therefore Jack would only be avoiding adding additional pain to the men by not denying them blood, but that was not to be. To herself, she justified it by promising to protect them, but subconciously she refrained from asking out their lives outside of the nightclub so that she didn’t have to know what impact the ghouling will have on them. Her approach was brutally direct and without preable or explanation; instead, she forcefully cornered them as if she was an overly amorous date and drank from them. While they swooned and were insensible, she made them drink her blood instead.
She had plans for the club and they need someone to focus on organising events. Thursday to Saturday was to be aimed at free-spending trendies while the rest of the week was for more exclusive, elitist and fringe events. Jack wanted regular monthly nights for goths, rock, celtic and folk and classical music with guest DJs from the local and national scenes along with good quality bands. The person she hired seem to reckon that the club won’t fill weekday nights of celtic, folk or classical music but they followed instructions anyway.
While talking to staff, she discovered that there are some undercover police doing some kind of sting in the nightclub. The manager had made sure that they hadn’t found anything but he noted that their presence kept away some of the better-paying crowd.
Jack then talked to the other pubs and clubs in the local area to tell them that she wanted to organise a big Battle of the Bands event where each venue does the competition and the winner of each battles it out at Club Diablo. The other venues seemed interested. They each wanted to host the final but with Jack able to get Kean and the Ting Tings, through Anatos, they eventually agreed.
She also worked on Anatos’s car. All his requests put their weight of the vehicle up to 2 tons. She still had to upgrade the engine to be able to pull all that weight.
Lastly, she went on some patrols around the domain – not that she was expecting to find anything unless someone was very stupid, but at least it would look like she was trying. Rothschilde has told her that he would arrange for one of the Tremere to accompany her, but no one showed… which was disappointing as she’d been looking forward to taking them around the scummiest places in Glasgow. She went out to chat with the prostitutes, homeless and taxi drivers to see how they are getting on and to listen for hints of kindred preying on people.
In the small amount of time she had left, she continued to learn electronics security.
