The Case Of The Alberta Mansquito - Ep 1 (of 4) Canada By Night A Vampire The Masquerade podcast

47:11

Val was welcomed into her first coterie. Neither Camarilla nor Sabbat, Vincent and Amy showed Val a world with no rules, and the freedom to hurt humans with no regard to morals or consequences. As Val learned important skills, like using the blood within her to produce the blush of life or surging past normal physical limitations, her humanity consequently receded. How much longer will Val remain with this sadistic coterie, and what will become of her humanity along the way? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

With an RCMP officer approaching her vehicle, Val had no interest in being caught and sped away. She drove into the woods and took off on foot into the Manitoba wilderness as Officer Safe called for backup and pursued her. Val fled to a nearby farmhouse, where she was ambushed by two more officers. Desperate, she killed them both and attempted to leave in their car, but was blocked by two vampires who invited her to come with them instead. How will Val fit in with her kindred saviours?

Within a few hours of becoming a vampire, Val felt the beast inside her surge forth for the first time and she easily dispatched the criminals at the gas station. She set fire to the building, took off, and spent the next year travelling across Canada, killing almost anyone when she needed to feed. She had evaded capture so far, but her luck may have run out, as she was pulled over on a rural road in Manitoba by the RCMP. Will she talk or fight her way out of an imminent arrest?

Val Miller awoke to her new unlife, having been saved from death, but also turned into a monster by one of the few people she trusted, Rufus Cross. They set fire to the arena and the bodies of their friends, and Cross quickly explained current kindred politics. Val grappled with the crumbling foundations of her life and rejected Cross’s offer to stay, deciding instead to take the next five years to find out for herself what it really means to be a vampire. Within hours, she was fighting for her life once again. Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

Val refused Damon’s offer to become a vampire and instead challenged him to single combat while Robin called boss Cross. Jack bled out, Robin tried to buy them time but was killed by a wayward knife, John too was stabbed, and Val was set upon by the other vampires. Before she lost consciousness, her attackers were gunned down in an instant and Val looked up into the face of her saviour, Rufus Cross, before he apologized and sank his fangs into her. How will Val tolerate becoming the demon she has always feared? Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

In her first match of the Brawl, Val tried in vain to end it without killing her opponent, but ultimately she took a life for the first time. As she was escorted back to her cage, her combat training kicked in, she wrestled a gun from a guard, and began methodically shooting down the enemies around her. John finally broke out of his cage with Val’s help, but before he could free the others, the fight announcer seized Jack and cut off his arm. Only then did they see his monstrous features and two large fangs. How can they possibly escape this demon?

Val and her friends arrived at the brawl and were led to an arena in the woods, but something felt very wrong when they were locked in cages until their fights were called, and as they watched the first fight, they immediately realized that the Brawl For It All was a fight to the death. Robin bargained with the organizer to fight Jack’s fights as a well as his own, and Val was called to face her first opponent. Not wanting to take a life, she tried to fake it, but the announcer called her out and declared she had no choice but to finish it. Will Val choose to cross this line, or will she find another way out?

With Rufus Cross away for the next year, Val and her friends managed without him until the gym’s safe was robbed and their entire safety net was erased. With no record of any insurance, and law enforcement unable to offer any real assistance, they had to replenish their money and quickly. Jack reminded them about the brawl that Cross had forbidden them from even mentioning, and when they discovered there was a $100,000 prize to be won, they ultimately decided it was their best chance at saving the gym.

Over the next two years, Valerie learned how to box and, although she lost all of her fights, she steadily improved. She also began to connect with her training partners, Robin, John, and Jack, but when she grew afraid that it was all getting too good to be true, Cross had a heart-to-heart with her. He encouraged her to commit to her friendships and Valerie received some assurance that if she wasn’t looking for demons, she’d be alright. But as Valerie gets stronger and trains harder, will the demons find her?
