On a side note I wonder what type of character the PC was before he/she was embraced. 'Cause Jack said in the tutorial when you pick the lock "not exactly a little angel in life, where you?" or something to that effect.

The Santa Monica Kuei-Jin doesn't really contradict one night theory. He could write one thing before- and one after midnight. But Venus IS a problem. Unless... You know, 250$ profit would be probably made in no time in a fashionable club in Downtown LA...

Sorry but she repeatedly uses the word "nights" (come back in a few nights, etc.).

time-lines
Well according to the vampire masquerade roleplaying book you have to feed a ghoul at least every month, so sometimes when you do a few quests and go back to your haven heather is starving for your vitae.
Also Venus says come back every couple of days to collect your money in the game, so using that logic one would assume the game is happening over a few weeks/months

On the ghoul thing, there are circumstances where she could be complaining from hunger anyway:
1) Just because your full, doesn't mean you wont have another slice of cake. Vampire blood is more powerful then drugs, more fun then sex and more of a rush then speeding through traffice the wrong way... It's a "Hit", a "score"... And wanting more and more and more isn't rare. It's often left up to the vampire to decide when the ghoul has had enough.
2) Ghouls can spend that vitae in similar ways to vampires... To pump a stat by one, heal a wound or activate certain discplines. It could be that, as she isn't well trained and groomed as a ghoul, shes been running around making herself extra strong and extra fast and extra tough just because... Well... It feels good! The other option is she is still very badly hurt and the blood constantly goes to fixing the wounds. 7 health levels, 3 points of blood in a ghoul... If she had taken 5 health levles she'd still need more blood to heal. Heck, maybe she has a terminal illness and the blood is still working to freeze it forever in stasis.
3) You might not have given her as much as you could. Your only a neonate, how would you know how much blood to give a wounded person to fix their wound AND ghoul them? Lets say she's taken 2 levels of dammage... You feed her one blood point... Her wounds are a little better, but now shes addicated to your blood and starving already.
So yeah, time lines aside, you can't judge the passing of time by how hungry your ghoul gets.
