Yes. Similar to blocking an Aching Beauty twice.

really?? interesting.
hmm, my precognitive powers are kicking in... I see a card... it's an
action modifier card... it has a man on it... it's called, "Change of
Target"... I see a table with some disgruntled VTES players sitting
around it... I see an ash heap, with a large number of Crocodile
Tongue's and Loose Cannons in it... I see an elderly Toreador with
Aching beauty, Thaumaturgy skill card and a Galarrics Legacy... I see
people trying to block a big PRE bleed, burning three blood, one pool,
having two blood stolen, and *then* seeing the action cancelled and
the acting minion untapped...
muahahaha! That's the next deck I'm making, for sure. Going to be fun.
Uhm.. change of target cancels the current action, there for modifing
effects to the action are not carried over to the next action you
call.
Form of mist (and shadow body, elder impersonation etc) allow you to
CONTINUE the same action as if unblocked, therefor the modifying
effects stay there.
With the aching beauty change of target works offcourse, if you get
blocked bleeding, change of target and then do a political action, get
blocked chage of target and whatever... but that's not the same as
say, bleed get blocked (have opponent pay for the aching
beauty(beauties)), form of mist superior, get blocked again (opponent
pays again) etc.
I think I have at least one more level of Auspex because I also see a
smiling prey, happily deflecting your bleeds towards his prey.
*gg*

speaking of new cards i can also imagine the "you bleed me so i play 2
friend of mine (obt) so you burn 4 blood" instead of gaining them.
Hey now, let's see..
A high cap Toreador with a few Aching Beauties bleeds with Legal
Manipulations, plays Perfect Clarity, Seductions, Deed the Heart's
Desire (just to choose the potential blocker) and of course the Loose
Cannon, gets blocked and plays Crocodile's Tongue, burns the few pool
off the prey, some blood from a non-blocker (and some from the blocker
with Camarilla Exemplary & the like), goes into the combat, plays Form
of Mist to continue, gets blocked again, plays Elder Impersonation, gets
blocked by another vamp and either Changes the Target or goes through
with an Aire of Elation, or plays Psychomania or, or.. Hey, a Baali
Anarch that impersonates Toreador and.. And of course you can't forget
Approximation of Loyalty, Call of the Hungry Dead and and.. :)
