Meeting a Flirty Stranger at the Amusement Park
February 13th: A catastrophic accident with the "Surge" rollercoaster kills roughly 30 people, with one person reported missing. Vincent sustains mortal injuries in the accident and is subsequently turned into a Vampire by William Solaire without consultation. He becomes the second Solaire progeny. The speed of the unempowered emergency response to the disaster does not allow the Department enough time to falsify his death, so he is officially labeled as "missing" by the unempowered authorities.
Vincent Invoked
March: Vincent resents being turned, and as the reality of his future sets in, he refuses to feed on blood. The initial amount of William's blood provided during the Turning has sustained him thus far, but that effect soon wears off. His health continues to decline. When all other efforts to convince him otherwise fail, William finally Invokes Vincent, forcing him to feed. Though effective as a life-saving measure, it sends Vincent and William's relationship even harder into a nosedive. It takes years for the situation to improve.
William Buys Wonderworld
The management company that owned Wonderworld fully collapses amid the legal disputes and lawsuits that it cannot afford. With the Department's blessing, William buys out the land that Wonderworld is built on to discourage further investigation into the "missing person" case for the sake of covert.
