The Status of a Victim

Evening Edition VOLUME XIII October 7th, 2000

Much ado about one thing.
by The ShadowMaster
This edition of the Shadow has been devoted to the loss of Tyler Duran, a key contributor to the Sacramento Shadow. On a quiet Sacramento night, the controversial "Colonial Theatre incident" stirred many emotions...this edition of the Shadow will give you several different viewpoints...

Rats, Foiled Again
by
Louis Cypher
Idiotic. That's the only word that describes the Tremere and Malkavians that journeyed to the Colonial Theatre on Saturday. Even after last week’s announcement that Stockton was not to be visited, and after hearing the rumor that a group of them had gathered at the old movie-house, they still decided to go in anyways. In doing so, they foiled a recon mission already underway by order of the Prince. They also came dangerously close to being seen on the Saturday Night News breaching the First Tradition. Thanks goes out to Schell and others from Clan Toreador for using a considerable amount of money to save the Masquerade. Recoil made those responsible for the botched raid responsible with repair of the theatre and the reimbursement of the Toreador. Many thanks go out to the reconnaissance group for a job-well done, and to the Toreador Clan for it's quick thinking in preserving the city's Traditions.

Tyler Duran Lost
by Darwin Lives
On Saturday night, Prince Recoil sent a small group to recon the Colonial Theatre since it was rumored to be a haven of the Sabbat here in Sacramento. Two malkavians and Mr. Duran showed up unexpectedly at the theatre and caused a disturbance. This led to shadow tentacles attacking them. The two malkavians were able to get away by jumping off the balcony and then getting attacked by other Sabbat. The unfortunate Mr. Duran was unable to do so and was ultimately destroyed as a result. News of his demise was brought to closing court by a badly bedraggled Allister Holland. Mr Duran, you shall be missed but your constant harping on the status of the city will not.

Prince of Galt Slain in Local Theater
by Ima Loon
Tyler Duran, Malkavian Prince of Galt and former Harpy of Sacramento was slain Saturday night while attending a local film festival in south Sacramento. While the Prince and his companions, Dr. Daniel Collins and Miss Dot Warner, were enjoying the entertainment provided, the trio suddenly found itself engulfed in powerful shadowy tentacles. Miss Warner was able to escape by applying a lighter flame to the attacking shadows, but fell from the balcony before she was able to free the struggling Duran. Moments later, Dr. Collins was also ejected from the balcony. Mr Allister Holland, of Clan Nosferatu, was also present in the balcony area and fought gallantly to save the Prince of Galt, who, despite Mr. Holland's Herculean efforts, was destroyed soon thereafter, much to the dismay of his clan mates who heard his mind's death screams. Holland later escaped his Sabbat persuers and returned to Elysium to report to Prince Recoil in the company of several others who had been attempting to reconnoiter the area when the attack occurred.

First Strike
by Jack Chan
The Camarilla has declared war and, after much anticipation, the Sabbat has made its first strike. Seizing the Colonial theater, a pack of six had the cover of two hundred mortals attending a dusk until dawn Night of the Living Dead marathon. Judicious animal control prompted local rats to disable lobby security cameras. In an attempt to flush out the enemy, rats then pestered the audience. The crowd collided with two Obfuscated Gangrel. The enemy was engaged. A panicked crowd fled. In the ensuing battle, Tyler Duran was lost and has presumably met Final Death, despite valiant measures by Allister Holland. Influence was expended to explain the breach as the result of a gas leak. Local 6th grade science teacher Joey Silvera protests that methane causes calm and drowsiness, not hallucinatory hysterics. He was promptly shouted down.

The loss of Tyler Duran weighs heavy on the city of Sacramento. The Father of the "Rebirth of Status" movement and his Princedom of Galt are some of his many contributions to the Kindred society of Sacramento. Rest in Peace Tyler.
Repercussions
by Neil Pert
From excessive uses of strength and speed, to the manipulation of shadows and the changing of shape, both sects openly displayed every manner of Vampirism this Saturday. Rumor suggests that the Sabbat Gangrel were punished for leaving live witnesses. The less mobile Camarilla though, may bear the greater burden. It is noted however, that neither Krom nor any of the Brujah were responsible for any of the breaches.

Kindred Potpourri
by Justin Smelleeflours
Malkavian babble has hinted and the SchreckNet has confirmed that Allister Holland is now considered "feared" by local Sabbat. Though routed, the Sabbat promise to push their offensive, having suffered no casualties. Ever valuing society over safety, Camarilla Toreador have announced that there shall be a Masquerade Ball on the evening of the 28th of October.

Naive Sacramento
by Les B. Inn
Doesn't anyone listen anymore? Or has it come down to "I'll do what ever I want cause no one can stop me." The Kindred in Sacramento are running wild. They seem to think that just because they are of this clan or have this title they can run around doing anything they want. The Brujah for example run around beating and distroy anything they want and then they come back with," We were bored... ." That is no excuse! If your so bored maybe somebody should nail you to a wall and call you art. And, just because we stereotype Malkavians as being crazy it don't give them any reason to do stupid breachs. Anyone would agree that "Bowling for Brujah", "Head Baseball", or "Cowboys and Indians" are bad games to play in the middle of the street. Espically with mortals driving around. The real proof the city is going down the hole is when Caitiff and Antitribus are running any show. The Lasombra Antitribu is the leading offender in stupid breachs. With his dancing heart and cup in the bushes. Where is the discipline? I'm done with seeing these ignorant pathetic kindred not getting delt with. Something needs to be done. Now.

A Note from the Prince
by Recoil
I guess I have missed the entire ****ing point of this job. Seems all the neonates must be right...I mean they all seem to think that I am not dead ****ing serious about these breaches. I call the shots. I took the job to keep an eye on y'all. Not to rule and punish you. But to protect your ignorant asses! But I cannot protect the stupid...never have, never will...ya know why, because stupid people will always find a way to get themselves looking up at the roof of a church. I know y'all, and y'all know me, but this bull**** is going to stop now, or I will feed you to you Primogen, and if they are full of your clanmates, well then you get to be an appetizer to the Elders. Don't plan raids. Or you will die. You are puttin' us all at risk. If I dont send you somewhere on a mission...don't ****ing go on a ****ing mission. I mean how hard is it to kick back and conspire. I will make plenty of opportunities for the bloodthirsty. The Sabbat are up 1-0...I don't like being down in the count...we lost Tyler, I dont want to lose any of y'...well I'm not going to go on with that...but you get my point...Sabbat want a war...they drew first blood, now we draw them final death. See ya ****ers next week.
