See, for the second session of the LARP, characters were getting together for a Fat Tuesday party. So, of course, people were encouraged to dress up, costume and generally pretend as if they were actually getting together for a party. There was even a small in-character costume contest among other activities, which means we have lots of pictures of people dressed up and looking generally cool and spiffy.

For the record, Eric Sasmor, the Head Storyteller, took these pictures. There are a number of pictures, so please give this page time to load. Thanks, and enjoy!

Starting off, we just need to look at some of the costumes people were wearing. In order, we have Sheriff Willamina Fairbrooks (played by Katie Cavell), the Anarch Joseph Kerr (played by Ben Dickenson), Muzzle of the Nosferatu Clan (played by Keith Perkins), Michael Szabo of the Toreador Clan (played by Jeff Nemeth; Michael also technically won the in-character costume contest that evening) and Ted Reynolds of the Tremere (played by Jon Krieger). They just all look so good, no?

Moving on to pictures of people actually doing things during the session, here we see Ted Reynolds, Evelien Aislin (played by Rebecca O'Brien), Casper (played by Shaun Archer) and Willamina Fairbrooks having a discussion. Tyra Pelham (played by Tracey Sprauge) and Lionel Bradford (played by Dan Heyes) of the Gangrel can be seen in the background, along with Matthias Griffin of the Brujah (played by Matt Collier). It is uncertain if this picture was taken before or after Casper had his unfortunate "breakdown" that evening....

In this picture, we see Mary Might, the Malkavian antitribu who is trapped in Elysium (played by Leilani Dawson) looking on as members of the Camarilla play chess and perform their own activities. (Specifically, Leilani's watching as Jake McLeod takes a picture of me taking a picture of Leilani -- but that's a different story altogether.)

This is the only known picture of the Gangrel Kurt Libel (played by Bobbi Brandi), taken mere moments before he was staked and given to Tyra Pelham. In the distance, you can see Casper, Evelein Aislen and Azrael Knight (played by Joshua Wong), along with a fourth person who's identity cannot be determined.

Here we see Sheriff, the Keeper of Elysium and the Seneschal of St. Louis (the Keeper is played by Greg Walters and his face is visible; Phil Tchou, who plays the Seneschal, unfortunately has his back to the camera), meeting and plotting and planning on how to handle things happening in the city....

In the center of this picture, we see Mary Aphra of the Nosferatu (played by Laurie Rich). To her right are Azrael Knight and Michael Szabo (both with their backs to the camera), while to her left are Edie of the Malkavians (played by Jenny Latham), Mikhael Romanov of the Toreador (played by Stephen Witham) and PJ Slaughter of the Ventrue (played by Laura Loken). Mary is holding a carnation, given to her moments ago by Azarael Knight, who was given flowers to most of the ladies of the Camarilla.

Here we see Mattias Griffin striking a pose with Pa of the Nosferatu (played by Chris Clein).

Muzzle, in his guise as the Grim Reaper, did have fun with a few people.... Here he's posing over a Toreador named Santiago (played by Eric Stark). While there really wasn't any particular reason for this pose to occur -- it's not like Muzzle attacked Santiago or Santiago was in trouble -- it's just an interesting picture nonetheless....

Finally, those costumed vigilantes who were active in East St. Louis last month were still doing things this month. Here they are running a scene with Leilani and Matt Latham. And, alas, we're not identifying any of the vigilantes still -- it's a mystery for the players to figure out, after all, so why spoil the secrecy here?
