Narses Court - A Crowded Meeting Room on the Second Floor - Lorenzo and Ranerius
As your Sires slip away and out the door next to one another, Lutz von Hohenzollern approaches both of you, "Eventful eh? Say, your Sire is Benne right, that means good spoken in English right? So t would be good for me if he supported me right?!"
"Herr Hohenzollern," Ranerius Benerius inclines his head, "Pardon my presumption, but I take it competition among your own clan is fierce. Have you a particular vision or hope for this seed of a sect?"

Durdona Checheg – La Serenata Notturna
At first all she can say is "How?" And that with a tremble in her voice.
Lucia's faint however snaps her back. There are not many things in the city that bring her much in the way of joy besides her friendship with Lucia. Thinking fast she screams "" Hoping to draw help from those around.
Michael steps of the the transporting shadows which appear darker than a thousand nights. Eyes readjusting to the light of reality
"Should we win the seat how would we be able to aid The Prince? What role or power does this seat grant?" I mean i know it is important to our continued existence but I feel it would be giving up one threat on our lives we know of for another unseen threat being of being at the top. Damn if you do damned if you do not"
Michael ponders on what could be unseen threat .oO(Fanchon eyes)

Durdona Checheg – La Serenata Notturna
A few people passing by on the street hear you, one turns in your direction but sputters seemingly confused.
"What the Devil, I thought I heard a woman scream but I don't, I don't see a thing!"
One of his companions replies, "It's because you are drunk you fool. Come along, I'll bring you to a place where you need to pay if you want to hear the women scream".
The group laughs at the lewd joke and moves along.
You attempt to scream again only this time, no sound utters from your throat.
You turn to look for the Saracen, or Violetta or Lucia and all are there but those men just did not see any of you somehow!
You hear a voice in your head! it sounds like Violetta. "Now, now my dear. You have no one to blame but yourself. Arrogant mortal...". El Cid steps closer to you and narrows his eyes but smiles. He then begins to laugh a hearty laugh you assume so anyway as you cannot hear it.
As this takes place two patrons exit the tavern right in front of you seeing none of it!
Violetta speaks again, "It seems my friend has taken a liking to you. You may yet live after all. Follow us, if you do not you shall suffer my wrath and so shall your friend". She reaches down and picks up the limp form of Lucia as if she were a doll and begins to walk away.
Narses Court - A Crowded Meeting Room on the Second Floor - Vitaliano
Your Sire nods at the points you raise regarding the icons of the Passion, "Let me take a look at them once again my Childe. You may well have the gift.
At any rate, yes. Speak with Prince Alexander and then with Rafael. Truly I do not think any support Lutz but that does not mean we should not rally support in case they do. Cainites are notorious liars, especially when it comes to politics".
He turn towards the door frowning, "I must go, I have things to do as well..." With that said he vanishes from sight!

As you hang back much of the room clears out. One figure approaches you, it is Myca Vykos, "We meet again Fledgling. I must say, you do not act like a Fledgling..."
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Narses Court - Bagrat Kamsarakan
Khadijah nods to you, "Memory loss eh? Is it due to an interaction with one of our kind perhaps?".
"Where would I rather be? Home in Iberia but the Reconquista and Shadow Reconquista make that impossible. Instead I make my current home in Damascus. I am here to bridge a gap between East and West though I see the endeavor as doomed..."

Narses Court - Andrew
Brian smiles, "Yes, the imagery was a bit much but then Narses has always had a flair for the dramatic. I see he still keeps the statues of Mi-ka-il in the Council chamber though.
I agree, the Council is experiencing growing pains but that is normal. This has been the way of Cainites for thousands of years, even the man seeking to implement the change fears for his own influence. Implement it we must or there may one day be none of us to pick a fight with the others.
Wrath, indeed a struggle that many of our Warriors seem to have trouble coming to grips with at the moment".

Narses Court - A Private Room - Xing Shi
You hear Kratos' voice for within, "Dammit what is that!
Alejandro chuckles, "Enter we are using the room at the moment..."
As you open the door, Alejandro sees you and smiles, "Young Xing, what can I do for you?"
Kratos glares at you and begins hastily rolling up scrolls.
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Luca Marano – Mainland Italy
You, Adria, and Yenshun take a Gondola to the mainland, it takes nearly an hour to make it all this way. When you arrive on land there is a group of horsemen, a large group of horsemen, whose leader is arguing with the local guardsmen on the docks.
"Nonesense, I am Claudio de Mendini a Hospitillar not a ember of the Papal delegate. My men and I are returning here. We left not long ago!"
The guardsman shakes his head, "You look like representatives of the Pope to me M'Lord. I'm afraid I can't let you onto the island or if I do, I have to claim yer weapons".
Another rider, one who looks like he absolutely does not belong with the group, rides to this Claudio and whispers in his ear. Claudio nods a few times then speaks to the guardsman, "Indeed you are right Sergei, we shall depart and rest, Christian was it, and return on the 'morrow, perhaps when I am less tired cooler heads will prevail between us".
As the guardsmen ride away Yenshun shakes his head, "These mortals look to be trouble to me. Come, let us walk into the woodlands and away from them. Such are the lands that make up the territory of the Gangrel, those which the other Clans are too afraid to claim as their own". He pays the driver of the Gondola and sets out through the woods.
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Luca Marano – Mainland Italy
These woods remind me of home...
Luca reminisces of his family and the woods that lay behind their home that supplemented their carpentry practice. His mother and father. His sisters. Would he ever see them again?
...
Should he see them again?

Narses Court - Michael Santo
Radek lands and hobbles next to the building as you are both in sight of Mortals outside.
"Worry not my Childe, Narses simply seeks a Boon, a Major Boon but a Boon nonetheless. That is a small price to pay for continued existence or an existence which is not lived constantly on the run no?
What powers the seat is granted are still being ironed out. This Council is designed to do just that. This is part of the reason why my allies and I came here, for a fresh start.
This is the best possible outcome. Not only would I no longer be a renegade but I would be a very influential member of the Clan, as I was three centuries ago.
To get there, we have work to do. We know that the Cappadocians and the Setites are with us it is the rest we do not know about. Well except Alexander, the last time we met he ripped my arms off and judging by his interaction with Goratrix he would be even less inclined to vote for me as would his allies. Tell me Michael, you knew Michele and Lorenzo in life, did you know any of the other recently Embraced Cainites as a mortal?"
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Both Cainites approach the Assamite Councilor and both use a different tact.
Bajazet chuckles at Alessandro's clumsy approach and responds,
He then turns to Sir Dunstan, "Dunstan here, though from a Clan whose Rage boils only just below the surface, learned a great deal of the art of intrigue from his time in the Knightly courts. Giovanni, what do you make of these Tremere?"
Giovanni replies to his Sire, "Mistress Fanchon seems to be a traditionalist. This Radek grasps at straws, I might do the same in his position. However, unlike a drowing man who has a bag of rocks, this Radek has a piece of driftwood which may well keep him afloat".
Bajazet nods seemingly pleased with his Childe's assessment, "Fanchon is a tool of the Usurpers at the highest echelon. Radek is not, in fact, one of my Clansmen here can enlighten you about Radek if you wish Dunstan. Before his Childe Aiden's untimely death, Aiden was in the same coteries as Radek and the Anathema Fahdi Mohammad".
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
He smiles at Lorenzo, "Why I'm Lutz. I will, want, should, must, have represented my Clan here. Here in this, on this Council".
He then turns to Ranerius, "Fierce? No not fierce! It's going splendid for me just splendid. I mean really who would vote for Antoine. Paranoid bastard. Plus he drinks people's blood. How can you trust a guy like that!?
Wait, you wanted a vision right? I haven't had one in a while. They don't come as frequently as they used to... Wait no wait I've got one. We'll redecorate the Council Chamber, I can see it quite clearly!"
He seems to tremble in excitement, "The tables and chairs will be color coded for each Clan so we know who is speaking and who is visiting, don't want to get mixed up on who's who and what's what right? I mean if a Tremere is speaking and everyone thinks it's a Ventrue someone might listen to what those creeps are actually saying amirite!???"

Self trauma after i was left for dead in the middle of the ruined things that i cared about. he replied
How does fare the city since its battle with the Mongolian horde ? No choices was left but to leave after the grave injury i received in the Battle for Damascus. I am sorry if my questions are to direct but what is the Shadow Reconquista and the gap between East and West you speak off ? I have to confess i know next to nothing of the event that lurks under the surface of the sun. he replied
Narses Court, a small side room
Onfroi bows to Myka and says, I was a trusted ghoul for hundreds of years prior to embrace. I am inclined to not vote for a rude interloper with the Tremere. What do think of their situation? Earlier you spoke of learning a thing or two of what I heard. What would the cost be to assure your vote and assistance foe other votes for Petradon as inner circle? onfroi decides with this man to go straight at him, a quick decisive arrow right to the heart of it.

"So it would seem, I had thought tha seat o power was set fer jus tha country, was only later on i realized tha discussion is o a world wide empire, like tha Romans, so tha dramatic imagery is werkin gainst tha goal.
Aye, tha vision I trust but tha man err men to do so....I am not certain I would trust myself, mah vision ken be clouded so easily wit tha wrath".

Narses Court - A Private Room - Xing Shi
Xing smiles and bows slightly at the two as she enters cautiously eyeing what Kratos has as she was instructed.
"The meeting is over and I was instructed to meet with you both. My master would like to meet with you. He has informed me it is with the utmost importance and your very unlife depends on it."
She is very blunt and straight forward not wanting to beat around the bush with these two. Kratos is already on edge with what he had said and didn't want to make him think she was hiding anything.
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
"Hmmm...judging by your actions, and what I have been taught thus far, you must seek the seat of Clan Malkavian, correct?" Lorenzo responds.
"Why is it you believe you are worthy of my Sire's support? What is it you bring beyond interior decor advise?" Lorenzo asks, beginning to become more comfortable with his role as the Childe of one of the more powerful Cainites present at the gathering.

" as you saw wth Lord Benne that went well and I paid Santos for his services and planted the seed to become more useful. I will say that Benne and Radek agreed to teach each other 1 of their prized abilities and Radek will back him on one endeavor he doesn't agree with. More interesting then that is that I shared a gondola ride with Khay'tall here- we must discuss that conversation most privately. "

Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Bowing in gratitude to Bajazet, Alessandro excuses himself.
He assures Dunstan as he leaves, Let me know if you wish to speak. Know that we are with you.
Leaving, he once again seeks out Alyssa to report and collect his next task.
Finding Alyssa, Seems as hard as I tried, I didn't ruin things with Bajazet. He likes that I am of The Prophet and wishes to mentor me on subtlety. Seems genuine.
I assured Dunstan, we were with Lady Meredie. What next?
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Luca Marano – Mainland Italy
Yenshun moves quickly through the forest covering a great deal of ground very quickly. He turns back as you approach, "Well done Childe well done. Let us wait for Aria, she has fallen behind and her Sire would be angry with me for losing her so.
Unlike most, you have taken quite well to the change, no soiling yourself. Your senses are keen, instincts sharp.
This is the time to learn from me for we shall not be together always".
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Narses Court - Bagrat Kamsarakan
The Cainite cocks his head, "That too place some time ago, you must have been quite young when it happened.
The Mamluk's took over the city and have held it as a provincial capital after the defeat of the Mongols at Ain Jalut.
The Reconquista for mortals was the Christian Crusade of Iberia for lack of a better term. Reclaiming the lands that the "Moors" had conquered, a war that still wages and splits Clan Lasombra along ethnic and religious lines in Castile, Gallecia, the Almohad Caliphate, the entirety of the peninsula really. I came here to try and repair that rift but I sense that the Lasombra of the west care little to do so.
Thus, do I feel I waste my time".

Myca follows your lead into a small room on the second floor.
He grins at your direct approach, "Perhaps you should have been embraced a Brujah.
What do I think of the Tremere? Why I think that they are blood thieves but if we must have one with us one that follows the Traditions would be the preference of Clan Tzimisce.
Theo cost for me to vote for Petradon. Hmmm, an interesting suggestion, offering information for a vote. Find out the reason behind Narses sudden conversion and you will assure my vote.
Other tidbits you find and share with me will certainly lead me to lean towards your Sire for the position".
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Narses Court a Private Room - Andrew
Brian shrugs, "I would agree the imagery would seem to tend to be working against his goal but there are some very many Christian Cainites here, at least those who grew up fearing a nailed God when they were mortals that the imagery will reach something deep within them that they did not know was there.
The Bloodfeasts had to come to a sudden end, their day has long been gone and they risk exposing worse than most other gatherings of our kind. The imagery would suggest that they are no longer welcome here nor elsewhere, at lest that is the hope.
Yes worldwide, at least for as much of the world as is know to us.
Tell me, have you tried to pray for guidance when the Wrath comes upon you my Childe?"

"What do I bring? What don't I bring? Knowledge, power, knowledge, keen fashion sense. Knowledge, wait I already said that one.
Let's talk about my opponent for a second. What's his name is a paranoid bugger, his paranoia's infectious too! Contagious! Who can concentrate with a bugger who sees threats looming out of every shadow?'
Before your very eyes his appearance changes to that of Prince Narses, before his change. "I certainly don't which is why I would vote for Lutz".
He changes back to a version of himself, though his clothing is different, "See, even the Prince knows!"

Lorenzo does his best not to roll his eyes at the antics of the Malkavian. "Your rival is Le Fanu, correct? I believe you will have to provide something much more than idle commentary and illusions of our Prince to earn Lord Benne's favor."
Venice by Night – Tuesday March 25, 1309
Narses Court - A Crowded Meeting Room on the Second Floor -
"Unlike most of the Cainites here I do not fear others knowing mine own preferences.
A vote for Alessandro's Sire is a vote for Mithras the oldest Ventrue Bloodline present and the one who I would trust, if any Ventrue is to be trusted.
Lord Criatas is a well trained and powerful Diplomat but how own prejudices make his judgment questionable. I do not know your Sire well enough to support her. Perhaps I will before I must cast a vote?
Of the Malkavians I know of Lutz, insightful. The other I know little of, perhaps Giovanni will learn more of him?" He turns to his Childe who nods and slinks off.
"That brings me to the Nosferatu. Simon is an avowed Catholic, I could not see myself voting for one who is so fanatical.
The Clan of the Rose is contested by a long standing Elder and two upstarts. One such upstart is a supporter of the Shadow Reconquista the other rumored to be a Furore sympathizer. A difficult decision that one.
Finally, the drama of the night. The blood thieves', I may well leave the decision in the hands of my own Clansmate".

I mean if a Tremere is speaking and everyone thinks it's a Ventrue someone might listen to what those creeps are actually saying amirite!???"
A lunatic would be my guess, but.. hmm, how does one know one Clan from the other? I wove a story for Dunstan that suggested so, but what I used as excuse... may he forgive me when time comes... but... a point. "It could get confusing," He concedes.
"Hmmm...judging by your actions, and what I have been taught thus far, you must seek the seat of Clan Malkavian, correct?" Lorenzo responds.
"Why is it you believe you are worthy of my Sire's support? What is it you bring beyond interior decor advise?" Lorenzo asks, beginning to become more comfortable with his role as the Childe of one of the more powerful Cainites present at the gathering.
Ranerius inclines his head at that, noting the confidence in Lorenzo's voice. And why should he not be? His sire is a power here, and so is he thusly.
"What do I bring? What don't I bring? Knowledge, power, knowledge, keen fashion sense. Knowledge, wait I already said that one.
Let's talk about my opponent for a second. What's his name is a paranoid bugger, his paranoia's infectious too! Contagious! Who can concentrate with a bugger who sees threats looming out of every shadow?'

He changes back to a version of himself, though his clothing is different, "See, even the Prince knows!"
The Toreador is impressed, "You are indeed a man of talent, sir. Tell me, since you know him better than I... what do you think is the cause of the Prince's new direction in belief?" And now I shall grow truly paranoid myself I think... Ah, to have gentle music and its acquisition as my prime concern again.
"Illusions, what illusions? Those are for the Ravnos, if you can find one anyway.
I am telling you, leFanu is crazy with a capital Z. Ask Dark Selina if you don't believe me, she was allies with him till she wasn't anymore!"
If he tells the truth, this could be interesting, "I admit sir, I find myself wondering if you have any insights into my own clan, the Toreador?"

You head downstairs to find the Prince speaking in the Ventrue alcove at teh Ventrue table with a Cainite you have not spoken with before but who is rumored to be a member of your own Clan.
"...the mouthpiece of my Childe or the Tremere?" he hisses at the Cainite.
"Neither or both depending on my..." The man who is quite attractive and much taller than Alexander turns to you. "Greetings Fledgling. I am Talisman, do you know the Prince?"
Alexander turns to you and grins, "Yes, a member of your own Clan Talisman. Who is your Sire again Talisman, I fear I did not catch your lineage in your introduction?"

What do you mean those of the west ? I have seen quite a few of that clan in attendance since yesterday. With the recent change of things he nods to the new paintings over the wall isn't there a chance with this new council ? if there is a ruling body and since the Lasombra have a representative couldn't a négociation be forced ? I know it is not my business but i am that sort of idealist who has seen too many things during war time he replied

Onfroi will nod to Myka and say, earlier on the docks you did not seem one to appreciate guilding the lilly over much. I prefer a straight conversation anyhow. I will see you soon with information waiting for Myka to finish and the bowing Onfroi will move out looking for more to speak to.

" he said much- first he pointed out that you must have no regard for me since you sent me to the Giovanni mausoleum because of its danger. He shared with me how you tried to destroy him but ended up giving him his heart back. But most interesting is that he said
I speak with you because of your Bloodline. Fahdi, your Grandsire, believes that he passed a curse on some time ago he did not realize that this curse would lie dormant within the Blood of his descendants. Put simply, I need the Blood of your Bloodline and I believe should you continue to remain with your Sire, your Bloodline will not last.
I asked him if you knew about the curse and he believes that you think that the curse was wholly passed to Fadhi's first childe.
He said he wants me to be his ally. I asked him to tell me more about the story of his heart and this curse but he ended up disappearing. It happened when I asked him how could I trust him and if this was a ruse.

"Ah, yes greetings. I am Vitaliano da Riva, childe of Antione le Fanu. Yes, we have had words and I believe enjoyed on another's company. My Sire bade me to come and let you know that we are looking to back you in this time." he said offering their formal support.

"Inventive," The Toreador concedes. He's amused more than offended at the notion of the man claiming clanship, however, he's also sure he's missing something in these words that could be useful, Second in command slain by the Dracon......Crimson Curia? Mmm "Since you've sidestepped the hassle that now plagues my own sire, might one ask who you hope to represent the Toreador, and why?"
