25V: WELCOME
“Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own free will!”
Bram Stoker, Dracula
Vampires are territorial, but in order to have a functional society for the games they have to get together sometimes. As well as the neutral ground of Elysium and the Rack (see Safety) the Camarilla has the Tradition of Hospitality in which anyone recognised as a guest is safe in another domain. The Anarchs and Sabbat do not acknowledge it officially, but can still make agreements for safe passage.
The idea of vampires requiring invitations to enter did not become the bane of any of the clans, though it’s a popular house rule for the Tzimisce. (It would fit the Ravnos in V5 as well.)

| Not today, thank you. (I spared you the ’Salem’s Lot version.) |
And a public space has its own requirements on both sides.
2:13: Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome
A new academic year means students away from home with spending money for the first time, the best week for nightclubs seeking new customers and vampires seeking new blood. All of the major clubs on the Rack are running promotions, as are non-Camarilla clubs like Nocturne. And the master of the Rack just turned up dead.
