#SimsbyNight – Episode 22 (Part III): “Allies and Artifacts”
← PREVIOUS | TABLE OF CONTENTS| BEGINNING | NEXT →
(Rebecca meets Sierra Moss at her family café in Champs Les Sims.)
"My family built this place. It’s the one safe space I trust to talk about what’s really going on."
Sierra: "My ‘suspension’ was a cover. I was close to something big. That’s why they pulled me off. Someone torched my evidence. But I never stopped digging."
Then, all the sudden, L. Faba, Sage of Mischief Magic decides to join them:
"Ooooh, borrowing security footage is such a hassle. How about I just… erase you from it? Temporarily. Wink."
"Darling, you’re my favorite chaos gremlin."
(Rebecca gives Sierra a warm, firm hug.) "Thank you—for not giving up."
(Back home, Suzana pores over notes beside the Celestial Crystal Crown.)
"Hypothesis: Marcus designed this to enhance vampiric powers and negate weaknesses. But if Hemolith corrupts crystals…"
(She tries inserting the crystal known as Peach)
"Fascinating. It replaces the need for blood… temporarily. Victor’s ‘enhanced’ crystals must be the opposite—amplifying* hunger until it consumes the user."*
"I traced funding lines. The lab is bankrolled by shell companies—seven layers deep. But they all loop back to one name: Victor Blackwood."
"Of course. Always the same puppetmaster."
Janet:
"My cops will ping Victor’s comms. If he sneezes, we’ll know."
"I could sketch your downfall in seven verses. But you have potential… If your friends don’t ruin it."
"Marcus was family. You’re stepping where he walked. That earns you a tag… and some secrets."
“Let’s talk about rebellion, elegance, and well-dressed destruction.”
Grayson:
"Are you in this for Kane’s memory… or revenge?"
Amy (without blinking):
"Both."
"Best. Intel. Gathering. Ever."
Next Episode: “Dossiers & Dark Deals” – The pieces are in place. The war begins now. Will Suzana find answers inside the Chantry?
Can Leslie trust a secret agent ghoul?
Will the coterie unite their allies in time to strike?
Can Amy keep the Brujah from literally burning down the bar?
Answers tomorrow! Same Bat-time, same Bat-Tumblr acCount! 🧛 (pun intended)
She glances down at the plate of loaded fries in front of her, before pushing them towards the middle of the table; towards Angel. Sophie was always willing to share, and while she didn’t want to pry, she knew what it was like to have to fend for yourself in less than stellar circumstances.
“Not all of them. They gave me way to big of a portion,” she said, motioning to the plate, “You totally can have some. My cheese fries are your cheese fries.”

"You children have no idea what you’ve done! Marcus was a traitor—he would’ve handed Brindleton Bay to the Anarchs! Their filth is already tainting Oasis Springs, San Myshuno, New Crest, Del Sol Valley and San Sequoia. I’d rather die to let them this close to the Ventrue Manor."
"Funny. The real traitor seems to be the one who framed a former Primogen with forged evidence."
"Would you like to hear your confession again?"
"Victor... You shouldn’t have brought them here."
"So. My Seneschal informs me you’ve found evidence linking the Anarchs to Marcus’s death. Show me."
"We didn’t. Because it was Victor."
"Ah. Now I remember! Victor warned me of Marcus’s treason. I merely instructed him to... take care of it."
"‘Take care of it’? That’s his defense?"
"Silence! The word of a Seneschal outweighs the delusions of neonates!"
"Marcus was exposing Victor’s damn blood experiments!"
"This is not parliament, girl. Your opinion is worth less than the dirt beneath my boot."
"This accusation should cost your lives. But I’ll blame your... youth. Cross me again, and I’ll have my Sheriff to behead you."
(The coterie slumps into stools at the Anarch bar, drinks in hand.)
"To almost getting killed by a Prince!"
"Next time, let’s frame Victor for tax evasion. Less lethal."
"The recording’s safe. And copied. Lacroix won’t protect Victor forever."
While we’re talking about headpieces, how about this fantastic, utterly captivating vintage Dao Celestial Crown / Headpiece that Angel is modeling?! This vintage headpiece carries on the tradition of wearing silver hairpieces atop braided hair, an effect the Black Dao created here by adopting a rectangular form/ support for surrounding Celestial Crown Disk. Within the topmost tier, a circular Celestial Star with Eight Points has been mounted. Sinuous "hair braids" made of flat finely braided nylon fiber create the Crown's base, and add to the height. The aluminum Crown is secured to the nylon coiled hair base by a set of aluminum chopsticks that attach the Crown element to the nylon hair base. #celestialcrown #dao #daocrown #celestialstar #wig #blackdao #blackdaocrown #headpiece #hairaccessories #headwear #hat #vintage #hilltribe #textiles #mensfashion #fashion #style #styleinspiration #hilltribejewelry #hilltribesilver #jewelry #accessories #hairaccessories #headwear #unique #statementpiece #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FPaDhhDKq/?igshid=x00h1edojb33

I taught a 6 part workshop on my Celestial Crowns quilt (image on my website). Alice finished hers and entered into her quilt guild’s show in Rolla, MO. She won a first place ribbon on it! Great job Alice! #gatewayquiltsnstuff #quiltsofinstagram #quilts #celestialcrown #quiltshow #blueribbon @tlischko #quiltworkshop #paperpiecing #newyorkbeautyblock #newyorkbeautyquilt
