Sabbat Fun & Games New York Style

Dumpster Diving: The Verrazano Narrows Bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Indeed, it stretches for such a distance that the curvature of the earth's surface had to be taken into account in the blueprints for its construction. It is a truly awe-inspiring accomplishment, and a spectacle to behold at night.

It's also the site of a Sabbat game unique to New York known as "Dumpster Diving." The game takes two forms: In the first one, a Sabbat Lick climbs onto the railing of the bridge and loudly threatens suicide. This causes traffic snarls and brings a horde of police a-running, thus lightening the law enforcement cordon on the rest of the city. Inevitably the Lick (having practiced the maneuver) throws himself off the bride, only to swim to shore after a little while has passed. Meanwhile, up on the bridge, the police are being relentlessly grilled by news crews, making them less-than-cheerful public servants, and traffic, is hopelessly snarled. All in all, it's not a bad night's work.

The second way to play the game requires a bit more of a team effort. A Camarilla vampire (or Setite, or Caitiff) is kidnapped and hauled onto the bridge. The victim is then thrown off the bridge, as is one Sabbat vampire. Whoever survives the fall and makes it to shore in one piece is the winner. The only caveat is that one of the two must be destroyed before the other is allowed out of the water, and the banks of the Narrows are lined with Licks to make sure that there are none of those annoying ties.

Other popular games include deMentos, where vampires hop into cars stopped at traffic lights, feed upon the drivers and then hop out (leaving a piece of candy behind as well as a bloodless corpse); and Viva La Turista, which involves hijacking taxicabs for the sole purpose of picking up tourists and depositing them in inhospitable neighborhoods, then watching the fun.
