Prelude 2 - The Embrace

67 min • 2 februari 2021

“That is will never come again is what makes life so sweet.”
– Emily Dickinson

It’s hard to say Emily was wrong; immortality comes with burdens aplenty and none live so free as the mortals ignorant to the monsters that live by night. Never forget: the Kindred are cursed. They feed on the living, burn in the sun, and wrestle for eternity with an alien predator that lives in their soul. Only the most bizarre and twisted of individuals goes looking for the Embrace — unless they have an imperfect understanding of what being a vampire means.

What makes someone choose to live beyond death, then? Ivy LaRoux (1:14) sees an eternity’s worth of knowledge and recognition. Joshua Crozier (20:22) has no choice at all. Schmendrick (34:38) is forced to decide under duress, and Rebecca Mitchell (51:12) can only choose after wrestling with cultural contradictions.

Welcome to The All Night Society, a Vampire: the Masquerade Camarilla chronicle.
