Veronica sighs...looks at the girl...confused but...feeling a confusion hunger she reaches out and gently strokes the girls cheek.
" Lysette why don't you take off your clothes and join me in this bath."
Thought ballon: This must be a dream...that Piero de Luca must have slipped something in my drink that is making me see things...well I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts.

Bassanio gives the Assamite Table a hard look, "I was a Nobleman until very recently, my future was bright, now I dwell in darkness of eternal night. I see what you mean that we must all work together. That is why I believe that we should choose and choose tonight which among our Sires should rule, leaving it to the other Clans seems madness. This idea of Justicar is intriguing... Our Sires are younger than Victor's, Helene is the only true Elder vying for our title. What if our Sires were co-Justicars with Helene the Councilor. Then the three could rotate when the guard changes in what is it a decade? Does that not make sense"
Victor shakes his head, "My Sire is certainly the correct one for the position of Inner Circle member. No doubt if the two of your Sires, only Anacillae back her now there will be no hard feelings and a mutual compromise could be had. Do you really trust you Sires to sit on a Council with Ancients such as Criatas, Narses, and Alexander? It takes an Elder to navigate these political halls with those who have seen Empires rise and fall and yet still survived and thrived!"
Either they do not know or they did not catch on to your subtle hint.
"While it's interesting, this idea of Justicars and the like... I do find it interesting how we are at risk of undoing ourselves here, gentlemen. If this new Camarilla values age over all, then where do we, the youngest fit in? Is Helene going to suddenly vanished in five hundred years? No. She is immortal, perhaps , if she is canny, eternal. That spot will never open. Meanwhile, the positions of Justicar? Rafeal and Francois are afixed there. So in five hundred years, where will the three of us be? Stuck. For ever? Begging for scraps among the organization we helped contruct to control us? No, age alone cannot be the determiner or we are just fashioning not a bridge, but a cage." he then inquires, "And what happens when someone older than Helene shows up? what if...my peers, an older more powerful elder of our Clan showed up tonight out of the blue. Do you really think Helene would automatically kneel to him or her and move aside?"

With no one else seeking conversation at the Cappadocian table, Lorenzo stands and begins to wander around the chamber, heightening his senses on the off-chance that something useful may be overheard.

He returns with information for you. "It seems the opposition to the Doge now seek his ouster. They would seek to send representatives to the Pope asking him to reverse his position. The Doge and his supporters are defiant. Master Luca, blood may well run in the streets and canals soon over this..."

Mistress Fanchon nods to the girl that all is well and she undresses and steps in with you. Immediately, your fangs protrude from your mouth and you sink them into her neck. To your surprise she shudders but does not cry out.
Mistress Fanchon watches your actions in a cold detached manner.
Self-Control roll DC 6 - 1 Success not to drink her dry!
For future reference, a 1 cancels a success so you likely would have jumped out there!

Veronica manages to slake her thirst with Lysette who lays in the tun when all is over in a state of semi-consciousness. It is then that Veronica notices that the girl already has several similarly spaced marks on her neck.
Mistress Fanchon sits back, "Do you now understand your nature Veronica?" He face is so flat she could be a statue, she sits so still and her manner is so cold Veronica is not sure whether or not Fanchon is a statue!
As far as thread rating goes, it's been a while since we discussed it. I mean you are all Vampiric blood sucking fiends of the night so some violence and death is certainly going to take place. Unless someone objects I would say just spoil anything sexually graphic or just let it hang there as innuendo.

Andrew shrugs, "Same as evah'. A'hm seeking ta' make mah' fortune where I can. If I have ta' be here then here I will put forth that effort.
Yer own presence here vexes me, ya don;t seem part a' the in-crowd in yer own. Ah ermm, group an yer not a politician ta' be sure. So what keeps you here?"

Storyteller Shadow |

Lorenzo you return to your Haven with Lord Benne, nothing is amiss and the rest of the night moves on uneventfully. If there is nothing further you wish to accomplish, your night ends here.

Michele, you return to the Haven that you share with Sadir, He is nowhere to be seen and he does not return before the night is over. Unless you plan to do something further, your night is also complete.

Edwarde as RL has had you by the tail lately let's cut your night as well. Robin will spend the rest of the night, after you successfully feed without killing the drunk victim, teaching you about Cainite society and the Brujah in general. Look for an OOC post on this information within the week. He brings you to an Inn in a seedy part of the city to bed down for the night with no disturbances in the morning for obvious reasons.

Durga Syn cackles, "If only I knew how not to overstep! Instead, I shall teach you through observation. I shall take you both as Wards at Court once all are assembled. One Clan in particular you may gain the enmity of but the rest will look upon you favorably.
Strength comes in many forms. For me, practice over mastering my own Beast was they key, ensuring you remain in control at ALL times. Thus were I you, the powers of the Beast would I focus upon. From there all else flows Fledglings..."
She is speaking of Anamilism. In OOC spoil a few more questions you may want to know from Durga and I will answer them OOC in a spoiler. Your night is effectively over as you and Adria and Durga Syn, head to safe haven for the rest of the evening.

Other than feeding, I can't think of anything.

Both of the Fledglings nod in agreement with your statement. "An interesting point. What then do you propose?" asks Bassanio.
"What I would suggest if that we do not follow our sires blindly because they are merely older. Yes, we dare not ignore it. Yes, it is power, and may even reflect cunning and we hope wisdom, but fortune can also play a part for good or ill, can it not? But if we let it be the only deciding factor in what we do, we are trapped forever," To his peers he says, "Our services are valuable, and we have been presented to the Prince. We are grateful to our sires, but not so beholden that we must disregard all our own personal hopes and dreams. It may well be a Camarilla within the Camarilla, a junior council as it were, may need to form. And yes, if our elders do not respect us, we may drag our heels to such a point as to frustrate them greatly. May we at least agree here and now that among us, whoever's sire wins, we do our best to shield the others from being caught in any vindictive paybacks after? For example, Bassinio's sire might triumph. His sire may choose to pettily attack my sire through me. Or Francois might pull off a coup, and gain power... that doesn't mean I think Bassinio should be punished for his loyalty. I know there is no oath so ironclad that we can be sure of each other, but a gentleman's agreement to start eh? Perhaps other 'youth' of other Clans will agree with us, and this Junior Camarilla gain more influence as we gain numbers? It's worth considering."

Lorenzo leaves with Lord Benne and Michele Querini exits on his own as the other Toreador Fledglings respond.
Bassanio nods, "Yes the idea does have merit".
Victor seems less convinced of that particular idea, he is about to respond when Rafael and Helene enter the room once more. They both seem rather pleased. Rafael nods to you Ranerius and turns to Bassanio, "Go to the Ventrue Table my Childe and pry Lanzo from his screaming match, I would speak with him".
Helene smiles at everyone, "Come Victor, we have much to do this evening and little night left to do it with". They withdraw leaving you at the table with Rafael. "I understand you are somewhat of a poet Ranerius, like your Sire before you. Bassanio and I shall attend your Inn tomorrow in the early evening to hear one of your best pieces and meet with your Sire, do let him know".
As Lanzo steps away from the Ventrue Table Bassanio apologizing profusely for interrupting him, the three head out of Elysium and into the night.

As you near the stronghold of the Teutonic Knights, the situation becomes a bit more dangerous. Clearly some of the more militant factions of the city blame any faction that might be aligned with the Pope for the Bull. Baldemar himself stands before the crowd looking quite weary as he argues with a few locals who seem intent on entering.
In all there are a dozen men arrayed before him, all are armed though neither they nor he have drawn those weapons. You believe there are at least one or two Teutons inside who observe what is taking place outside from the steel barred windows next to the front entrance way.
What do you do?

"I gave you what was agreed to, a remedy that will allow you to carry on as you wish without the burdens of the mundane life you led. You agreed to this, as I told you, with great benefits come burdens.
You are the first to be brought across, well, perhaps the second, who has been brought into my organization with no magical aptitude. I can only hope that the power of my blood will grant you spontaneous aptitude. Now it is time to clean up, your training begins. Short though it may be. Note that your primary purpose is to use your abilities from life to turn the tide of opinion away from my foes and back towards me.
Thus, I welcome you to Clan Tremere".
