Court.

Court for the month of November was fairly straight forward, several arrivals, little business. The only events of note were the public announcement, as I had not heard myself, that the Malkavian Malachi StukusVi's appointment as Primogen of Clan Malkavian. His whip, Emma who's name I cannot recall, was also named before the Court. The entertainment for the evening was provided by Jayson's acinine antics about asking the our Grace if she had appointed herself a Seneshal, and whom it was. After a quick and surgical verbal assassination by our Grace, he was about as thickskulled as he started with and didn't even notice the fact he got assassinated. Clearly our Grace hasn't lost her tongue of our circle. Also as a side note as I was personally unaware, it seems my own clan lacks representation of any kind. Suffice to say, this isn't good news...and even less good that I was left unaware of it. But enough about my own matters.

Current Events.

Sabbat.

Definately newly borns, I found myself in an unusual circumstance last evening as I was...transported in some manner of speaking by a unknown force into an all out conflict against nearly a dozen angry cainites of the sabbat, being in heated melee with our Grace, Arkady Filitov, Kay Croft and several other Camarilla members, including the Whip of Clan Toreador, Rai whom displayed amazing ferocity in battle. After a brief slaughter of the newly borns, and the destruction of a sniper it ended well, although battered luminaries and camarilla members alike. I think I need to stick to hunting in the clubs again, battle is not my most favored activity.

Personal Matters.

Situation between myself and Kay Croft ended honorably, to somewhat my suprise. She's no gained her effigy back into her possession and is once again a happy Brujah. For the troubles I was offered tutilage in the physical powers of Clan Brujah, at my choice of which. I suppose alls well that ends well.

Tid bits of gossip.

Dissension between Toreadors earlier this evening in front of the 'wreck was of some note, apparently Richard committed suicide in evasion of punishment for some unknown crime that I was not aware of, Eva Jentre and Shirvat, as well as Mel was involved. Miss Jentre seemed less than amused by the situation and heated words were exchanged. Perhaps something to watch.

Also some trouble between a man I did not recognize and Romario Giovanni, Don of the Giovanni was exchanged, some sort of test of wills and wits commenced as they commented on cousins and the man I did not know's position of being seperate from them. More curiousity to watch from another clan.

My first night here, and I thought the rumors were exaggerated... Mr. Cole, I'm sorry we had to cut our meeting short. It truly is a shame that primogen exercise such little decorum that they run others out of Elysium. Trust me, that things only deteriorated after you left. Eva Jentra and some others were exasperated with Kay's behavior, and how it fueled the more base tendences of her clanmates. Jezebel, presumably a Brujah, outright told Eva that she didn't have to respect her, Kay's response to this was to laugh and giggle, along with the other brujah, who thought it was most amusing to see such a anarchist display in Elysium. Most of the others chose to leave the company of the Brujah shortly after, including myself.

I have stepped down from my post and will no longer be among you, Mr. Cole may I wish you have better luck than I. To Ms. Jentre...a most supportive and insightful person...may it always be known you guided me from my mistakes.

Current events.

While sitting in Elysium earlier this evening I found the turmoil in the ranks of Clan Malkavian and the Prince's reaction to the situation becoming a serious matter indeed. It seems multiple malkavians several times have insulted our Grace, Prince Marlo, several times with their blatent disregard to the Tradition of Domain. Continually harassing her retainer, Jaxon, and along with their ex-primogen Masina's actions; while I do not fully understand them I would not slander her in any way, she was more intelligent and noble than most; has set the Prince on edge to the extent that she is holding the entirety of Clan Malkavian responsible for not respecting the Tradition of Domain, going so far as to suggest an extreme means of remedying the situation such as a Purge of the Malkavians. Not so valiantly attempting to defend and speak for his clan, a malkavian John who's last name escapes me took the accusations even though he himself had not commited any wrong doings, it ended in something of a not so sutble warning towards clan Malkavian should the majority continue to annoy our Grace.

What is to be done about Masina Akatani is yet to be determined by the Prince, as no suitable Malkavian in her eyes has come forward to dispute the issue.

Personal Issues.

Kay Croft, Primogen of Clan Brujah.

I'd have considered her my friend if it had not been for most recent actions from her towards my person, which came down to physical violence. Almost laughable to say, as if it ever comes down to anything less, politics apparently escapes the clan as a whole, as does social doctorine in any shape or form as their primogen is supposed to be an example. I could have spat on Elysium from where it happened, carefully placed just ever so barely out of the realm of Elysium itself. It ended in a not so graceful exit by myself so I did not suffer any more grevious injuries besides being broadsided by the rather strong Brujah Elder. All this over what you may ask? A fucking necklace. A necklace! Apparently it's a great conspiracy, I some how managed to track down a nameless Pawn Shop as she told me how she had lost it, found the nameless man whom they sold it to, and some how convinced him through whatever means I have to give me the necklace in question...which I do not even know what looked like...and attempted to taunt her with it by twirling it around as I walked into the bar before Elysium.

Yeah, right. I'm sure glad my abilities are so formidable as to be able to do that. Note: Sarcasm.

Now it seems the matter is such a huge deal, for what reason I cannot tell nor determine, apparently the ex - Prince, and still elder and elder of Clan Gangrel, Arkady Filitov has been called to step in for the Primogen and mediate. My contempt for being placed in this position is beyond mention. Over a fucking necklace she claimed herself to be of no consequence. Apparently, I was embraced yesterday and people didn't tell me. That, and as far as I can tell it is being sported by some crack addicts lawfuly wedded wife somewhere.

I. Am. Not. Amused.

It astounds me that when one trusts a family member for informing someone of slander being passed around to stomp it out, they preach it on the mountains as if it was the universal truth. I want to get this straight and I want it straightened out now. This rumor about Kay, disregard it in its entirety, when did our society base thoughts or opinions off fools who do their best to hide their identities across a telephone and Slander away at the pillars of our society. Cobra, Jayson, I am so dissapointed in you it hurts, I ask one simple singular thing...inform "YOUR" primogen...of this slander being spoken...not tell the city, something created to tear away at the foundation of our city, the perpatrator of this crime should be called in for treason and sedition in the Camarilla courts.

Thank you for the warm welcome into the harpies of the court in St. Louis, Dr. Tyler. And if you need anything as well, you have my contact information. I apologize for the late response, I have had some issues with my DSL connection...good providers of internet are hard to come by these days...always...same difference. As I am still settling into the details of the politics in St. Louis, this post shall be brief and I won't reflect on things already reflected on by you, I shall start fresh from this point forward, with the exception of also my praise for Shirvat's performance, it was truely monumental. I shall have to remember to thank her, she is definately someone to watch.

As for the most current of matters, I do have a small bit of advice. Treating the ghoul with respect is not nessicarily outside the confineds of good grace, keep in mind while it may be just a ghoul, it is the Prince's Domain. As in such, issues as you have thus presented is truely miniscule, if her alarm on her car talked back to you, I doubt it'd spawn any kind of similar remarks. Treat this as such as well, you'd respect her domain as you would respect her ghoul, it is one and the same. It is not like he can do anything damaging to you if you do not let him have the oppertunity. He's not a target, nor an enemy, he's merely trying to desperately learn what you already have. This may seem to be a statement based on kissing ass, but it is not, this is the same I'd express towards anyone of high status domain. Keep in mind also, that a harpy's word is only as good as the harpy's presence, and example of grace, respect, and knowledge. If you feel your word meaning nothing, it is time to take a step back, and discover what made you a harpy in the first place. It is not a place, it is a state of being...and while I may believe in zen like things, this is a truth, not a philosophical anticdote. Being a harpy can go and come as those view you in other lights, it is you who keeps it there. Losing it means to lose yourself.

2002-10-23T20:13:00.000-07:00

This is beyond disgusting, Today in Elysium I asked a Ghoul to mind his place...and whos Ghoul is this Ms. Chases...Jaxon. Not only was I ignored I was told to kiss his ass, berrated by him and had the entire foundation of Status of the Camarilla stomped upon. He stated he wouldnt listen to me because he didnt like me and liked Ms. Jentre....what world does he live in I wonder. This went on farther after Ms. Jentre asked me to sit and Jaxon to the same...he then told a primogen to her face...she had to say please. Ms. Chase I have alot of respect for you and your place, but I would like to ask what sort of reflection is Jaxon showing for you, a very disturbing and sickening one. Sure there is some respect at being a Princes ghoul, but at what point does it give them the right above kindred. If it werent elysium i think other kindred would have torn him in half for his offense, though minding both proper manners and ettitquette I did niether. So at this point I am to consider if my word means nothing to a ghoul should i even bother retaining my place as a harpy.

2002-10-19T14:31:00.000-07:00

Well last nights concert was phenominal and drew quiet a crowd to see Shirvats show, most of the cities kindred were in attendance. Malachai was passing out his books and Bukowski was destroying the moshpit. All in all it was just plain fantastic.

Afterwards Eva threw a party at her place, consisting of techno, people dancing around and stunts like Arkadys knife juggling and splitting an apple ontop of Kelseys head. It went on for a good wild while, and some jokes went around of which I cannot in good taste repeat.

Today there was a disturbance at the Tequila Rose Cantina, I found Cavan and called Julian for back up. What I recieved was in the time it took them to show up, one of the idiot workers did something and started an alcohol blaze...which allowed Cavan to escape while i tried to make my way to get him. So far nothing terrible has happened because of this, the creature "shimmered" hiding itself as it took to the air so im told, so no one saw it. Arkady, Kay, Eva and Julian showed up minutes later and I was at fault for calling the big guns....people who I did not call. I was then reprimanded and sent to fix things up...wilfred sent me home since his insurance would cover the fire...all I have to show for it...Cavans trenchcoat, and a lowerstanding in my own society.

On another note Id like to say goodbye to Subella and welcome Mr. Ezekiel Cole to the Harpies, I am sure I will enjoy working with you as we have already done before. If you may need anything just contact me and ask. Also to make a solid note, Masina Akatani is the Malkavian Primogen, if i have not said this before.

Dr. Sera Tyler, Clan Tremere

2002-10-18T13:38:00.000-07:00

Well, yet again Ms. Jentre has done her best to bring us all a fantastic party we wont forget...due to the nature of our guests. I've decided to go though who was wearing what first to give a little idea hear and there. Myself as Melpomene, Eva as Peacock woman, Ezekiel as Justice, Kenneth as the Druid, Fox as the Swanprincess, Jayson as Death, Kay as the the happy bunny, Xander as the Phantom, Shirvat as the reflection, Chris as the Hannya demon...i think the hair and voice gave him away, Julian as Lucifer from Dantes Inferno, Jeremiah as Two Face. I also have my guesses here, Masina as the Geisha, Nosferatu Jon as Odin, Arkady as Batman, and Marlo as Catwoman.

There is also a list of unknowns, The Renasiance man and woman, Cleopatra, Ninja, The Saytr, The Ghost, The Tick, The Ventian Doge, Isabella and lastly the Goblin King. All of these people dissapeared before the unmasking to many peoples dissapointments.

On the otherhand during the masquerade itself, the first dance was between myself and the Goblin King, whom might I add has a very distinguished knowledge of the waltz. The party stayed a dance untill our guests decided to play out their roles in movies, Catwoman stealing things, Batman saving people, it was a mess for a while. Peacock and the bunny got into a tackling fest and at the offer of 500 dollars I jumped the bunny and took her head from Kay...i think that was the best suprise of the night...that and the fact I didnt get hit afterwards hard enough to reach myself into orbit. My prize from justice...500 dollars monopoly money, im going to get the real thing i swear. Though at eleven o clock sharp the pumpkin in the bar exploded with confetti as the unmasking began.

All in all, a very good outing for most of the city, noticing somewhere between twenty and thirty guests, whom all had a good time dancing or brawling. Thank you Ms. Jentre for a lovely party and Nosferatu Jon for the use of your fine establishment.

2002-10-16T21:46:00.000-07:00

I leave the city this night. Perhaps I was not the best of Harpies. I did not pick clean the bones of my enemies. I made peace instead of antagonism whenever possible. I'll leave with a parting shot at Ms Jentre. Know, Ms Tyler, that I rescended a grand boon from her. I did not even cause her offer restitution. Even in such an instance, she was not respectful. She scoffed at the notion. Foolish woman - she disregarded prestation. Remember that, should she choose to offer you a deal. Spread the word that she is a liar and conniver.

Masina Akatani has assumed the title of Primogen of the Malkavians. This is to be a time of celebration and stability as all the clans have been accounted for and leaders chosen. Hopefully this shall give power for the Camarilla to exist and repel the sabbat invaders.

It astonishes me, that certain people dont get the idea after its firmly implanted in their heads. Having a delightful conversation with Masina and Zapa, mr Henry kindly asks to pull me aside. Assuming civility I do so, and he prepares a rant about...how I should not stick my nose in other peoples buisness, and he will forgive me this time if I appologize. ...umm no, the harpies and Keeper have the direct ability to stick their nose in whatever happens in the confines of Elysium, especially one so blatant as Publically berating and insulting ones Primogen. Then being so obtuse as to seek out a harpy and insult myself for doing my duty. I wonder if he has enough balls to hunt down Julian Frost, Ezekiel Cole, and Eva Jentre for pointing out how much of an ass he made of himself last night and demandng that same apology. I seriously doubt it.

Apparently after my leaving this little scene, Ms. Jentre comes in and they trade words ending in a Colt attacking ms Jentre and running after her an unarmed woman, after disputing his honor what sick twisted lies. Ms. Akatani attempts to subdue him to no avail, but Zapa takes two clean shots...that destroy Colt, simply stunning, Zapa has done her best to protect a Primogen. Niko when over hearing this story demanded her Destroyed...she risked herself to save an unarmed Primogen, are these not the acts of one who is truely loyal to the system.

Tonights the night that I got flashbacks of Mr. DeBeers, Mr. Heny outright challenged Kay authority in Elysium, disregarded his own primogen and essentially cut off his ties with his clan. He also fought agasint the wishes of apair of harpies, the Keeper, and a fellow Primogen. These are the acts of Anarchs in our midst, true the Brujah have always kept a little out of the direct line of authority but never have i seen one question or demand from their own. This must truely be a dark time, that this seems to be a going trend...its sick and demented. He even challenged her to a duel "INSIDE" Elysium, was not mine and Kays torture for nothing to show others what NOT to do. After Kay declined him, as he was quite inferior she has made the best choice and averted harsh circumstances. You Mr. Henry are a fool to fight your own Primogen, and worse a fool to repent your clan.

2002-10-14T21:56:00.000-07:00

It pains me to see you leave Jon, it has been a pleasure working with you and I am sure you will do great things for your clan.

Dr Sera Tyler, Clan Tremere

2002-10-14T21:51:00.000-07:00

This message, will likely be my last. As I will be assuming the role of primogen for clan nosferatu, I may no longer be counted amoung the ranks of the harpies. I feel I must restore the standing of the clan in the eyes of the Prince, and the others of the council. I hope the harpies will fare better with my absence.
Goodbye

2002-10-14T13:54:00.000-07:00

I must admit I am somewhat shocked to hear of Wilfreds actions, I had always thought of him as a reasonable and rational man. Unfortunately this doesnt seem to be the case.
As for the harpies as a whole, perhaps I should be coming down harder on those around me, and paying much closer scrutiney. Id hate to have the harpy position fall from grace at my own actions. Harpies are rumored to have barbed tongues, let us show them we have them.
Mr Cole, obviously, should be dealt with, the prince being one not to be disrespectful too. If this Masina wishes to become primogen and has truly converted to the camarilla, by all means, I hope her leadership brigns the clan together.
Ill admit my post has harpy has been lowkey, in a word. I have never was completely confidant of what the post entails, but I will strive to do so.
I was also wondering if this Ms Abin had a good performance at the coffee cartel. Are we in the mood to reward such performances?

2002-10-13T22:13:00.000-07:00

The tides of change are always numerous.First of all though just recently wilfred was gifted Domain in Chakoia, he has lost it just as quickly when the belief of the court is that he had invited Mr. Cassidy Michaels and killed him, thus he has lost his domain and the status associated with it. Such cruel Villany. Favor has also changed hands thus far, as I have heard the court has turned their collective backs on Ms. De Boulle, and has fallen from their favor. Mr. Thatcher has gained Ms. Chases favor, and has regained an invitation to Ms. Jentre's masquerade ball. As also I have heard a great insult has been thrown our way, apparently the harpies are supposedly ineffective and worthless, so much so that Mr. Cole has been appointed as an Unofficial harpy to provide us competition. Subella, I hate to say this but collectively it seems as if you are being hardpressed from your position as Head Harpy. Ive also heard that Jon that your work has almost been nonexistant, I do not say these things from myself but from what I have heard. The Prince herself has said almost the same exact thing to me, and it tears me apart at this, we are harpies we are the controlling order of this city, showing people right from wrong, help me both of you I cannot do this on my own. Masina has changed and come to the Camarillian side officially and has brought her clan together to form a cohesive unit, her place as Malkavian primogen is a definite possiblity but not assured.

This next part id like to call bad things to do.
Mr. Henry, Ive heard during your introduction...you seemed bored with the Prince and decided to try and strike up a conversation with the nearby Ms. Jentre. That is a really, really bad move, never ever snub the prince, you are lucky you were not turned out of the city immediately. Id almost mention its rather disgusting to eat kitty treats especially in public

Dr. Sera Tyler, Clan Tremere.

2002-10-13T06:49:00.000-07:00

Who was it that asked that foolish Fiend Angel to give up some of his blood? He did so, even more foolish, reluctantly, and we found out. Now, in my case, I simply wished to see how Monsieur Michaels would react. I never dreamed that people would open that up to my having an abuse of power After all, any brave souls that were there that night will remember that at that point, I had never even mentioned the amount of status I had in the city - or that I was Harpy. That reveleation came subsequent to his telling me that I had committed a grievous breach of etiquette. Any that were present that evening and did not pass on that little bit of information on my behalf are themselves to be blamed for honesty and failure to give proper respect to those with more status. If I were to behave like some others that will not be mentioned, I could simply throw my weight around just because I had status, but I did not. I would be down many others' throats because of this - because I can. I would only ask that those present be made to "fess up," as Ms Tyler so politely put it.
Violence in Elysium - it is a good thing that you and Ms Croft only received the minor punishments that you did, although, I am happy they were light. I know you were attempting to do the right thing, Ms Tyler. I trust your character greatly. Ms Croft has the best wishes of her clan at heart, which makes her an appropriate Primogen for any clan.
I believe, more than Jentre's slight to disallow me entry into her party, and fellow Harpies, I would appreciate this backing, because it should be recognized as is, a slight. It would be your combined place to correct me for unsatisfactory behavior in a public setting - not Eva's. As I began, it would be nice for this news to be spread, for it is as much a pain to be lumpted into some category with a tactless buffoon like Jeremiah Thatcher, who has on several occasions gone out of his way to anger or chide others. I merely did something that a few considered overly strict in the best interest of the Camarilla.
If we all looked toward the best interest of the Camarilla even half the time more than our own interests, then many of the problems and worries that we possess and take such great pains in struggling through night after night would be unnecessary.

Subella du Boulle

2002-10-12T21:47:00.000-07:00

Well, i think its best to fess up for oneself, I Sera Tyler have commited violence on the landing to attempt to stop Kay when she frenzied due to Inarus, a snake. I thought it prudent to stake her with a xbow bolt and failed...this action was foolish and i have paid the price, both in my dignity, and in my own body. Though this will strengthen my devotion to the Camarilla. As new things erupt, Ms. Jentre has had both Ms. De Boulle and Mr. Thatcher banned from her parties due to her beliefs of their abhorable behavior in her presence. As for Subella's arguement with Cassidy, no blood test was ever taken for what its worth, Cassidy Michaels no longer even exists today, as he picked a fight with Mr. Vasquez's ghoul and has suffered final death. The authorities are well aware of this situation, and we will see where it goes. The malkavians are directly behind their primogen hopeful Ms. Akatani, I am most certain she will take this mantle for her family. Ms. Jentre has thrown even more parties which ive heard will have a pretty good turn out. The Cofee Cartels opening went rather well, with an exciting performance by Shirvat and well hosted by Ms. Eva Jentre. Rai conducted himself as a quiet but overtly enjoying himself and made a good impression as well. Though most importantly Mr. Rai Sarka has ascended to the coveted Position of Toreador Whip, he will enjoy his time in the public eye and work hard for the betterment of his clan. Congradulations.

Recent Arrivals or Introductions.

Malkavians.
Alix- Mostly quiet, talks to himself, and seems generally pretty mellow, has an outburst now and then all in all pretty well mannered.
Leonard- Well, he managed to make a fool of himself at the coffee party being called both a "Narc and Pedophile" It was sort of amusing.
Alley- Rather delightful, likely to get a positive spotlight.

Brujah-
Colt- Pretty forward individual, built for bruising, makes me wonder if most Brujah sell out their protection.

2002-10-12T19:24:00.000-07:00

It seems the harpy have been dealt a blow, this past week, a very unfortunate turn of events. Hopefully we may remedy this in the coming days. Ms Jentres party has been moved forwards quite a bit, and decorations art being put up in my building, named 'Die Endtage' or 'The end days' in rememberance of the seige in which it was in full use.
As for the incident between Ms Tyler and Ms Croft, I cant say Im very informed. Something about a breach of elysium, and a frenzying Ms Croft. If someone would please enlighten me on the subject, I would appreciate it.
And on the subject of the recent status drops, I may be able to speak about the 'abuse of power' supposedly, that I have heard talked about. I think it was Ms Jentre, who said that you, Ms Du Boulle, made this Cassidy Michaels give a blood sample to the Tremere. Ms Jentre quarrel was with you supposedly having the power to make someone take a bloodtest. Now this is all second hand information I overheard from Ms Jentre, I was not there at the time of this exact occurance. I am merely stating what I have heard.

Jon of the Nosferatu

2002-10-11T21:53:00.000-07:00

As it turns out, it seemed I angered a few with my - ahem - treatment of a Monsieur Cassidy Michaels. The person accosts me, He has apparently been watching people go to and from the upstairsa area of Madame Chase's Trainwreck Saloon. He proceeds to tell me that he is Camarilla. He further proceeds to tell me that he is a Lasombra. How odd this is. He expects then to go upstairs. Well, as we have had such a problem with Lasombra in St Louis in the preceding months, I thought it my duty to inform the others. I did so. I also asked them to give him the benefit of the doubt as they all seemed so eager to engage him in combat.
As it turns out, he came upstairs with me, haughty and full of himself. He spoke a bit - it seems he knew of Prince Arkady (who was no longer Prince) and Ms Chase. I am sorry, but that is not quite enough. If I were attempting to enter a city for information-gathering, I would hope that i at least new some of the recognized officials.
The incident was played to the hilt, however. Eva carted him off and spoke with him for some time. No doubt she spied on his soul or perhaps even took the newcomer at his word. Needless to say, I have not made a tremednous amount of allies in regards to the decision. A few people were angered that I dare question the honor and integrity of this newly immigrated Lasombra, who had not yet received the Prince's permission to stay. That was patently absurd.
I wonder where Eva wished to call me out in regards to this person just before I left the scene. A recent arrival's position being placed above that of a Harpy. That is equally ridiculous. I hear that I have abused power? Please. I believe I am one of the few that has treated such responsibly. My unlife does not revolve around conniving and backbiting.
I also hear of the punishments people are receicing. These are very public ordeals. No doubt they are meant to teach lessons. I fear that, for some, that they will merely be looked upon for amusement purposes. That is a shame.

It seems tonight was some sort of coordinated sabbat strike, aimed to take Arkady and Ms Chase out of comission. Apparently there was a sniper and around 16 sabbat, luckily there were no fatalities on our side. Ive increasing found it odd, that despite going against the odds in numerous occasions we maintain no casualties at the hands of the sabbat. During the seige, there were no casualties of the sabbat. Its rather amazing, if you think about it.
Numerous people were greviously hurt, though the aftermath was taken care of. That is all on this end for now.

2002-10-07T22:13:00.000-07:00

The things I have seen, have never prepared me for what I have witnessed today. Luke DeBeers has made a mockery of what the Camarilla stands for, if at any time I thought Mr. Thatcher may have been rough around the edges but he did not stab our society in the side bleeding it of its, purpose and its reason to exist. Then when caught in this action completely ignore the status of Primogen no less to their faces and disparage them. These sickening events will not continue in our city when it is viewed by my eyes. I cant dredge on this anymore, onto positive notes.

At Court, I have heard a many good things and only one questionable thing. Mr. Dominique De Wildt welcome to the Primogen, your words are now the beliefs of your clan, listen well and lead them to greatness as I'm sure you will. Ms. Chase has formally taken the title of Prince, to rule our city, and protect the Traditions by which we all abide. Also our very own Arkady Filitov has returned from the throne to serve with Mr. Pratt as our Deputy continuing his tradition of protecting our fair city of St. Louis. Now only at one moment did I pause to think, I have heard a Ms. Masina Akatani has support to be the Malkavian Primogen. May there be two people with the same name...or is this the Same Anarch leader I have heard of...time will tell the greatest truths. Now correct me if im wrong but the Primogen is the voice of the clan and if the Primogen is Anarch would that not mean all who follow her are the same. Consider these possibilities.

New Arrivals, Sean of the Ventrue has thus far been a delightful young man, and held himself in a rather proper light. This is one that has made me need a double take, apparently a very talented Toreador has this beautiful little wild nature landscape painting, with deer and fluffly lil clouds thats the good part...the bad part is this wonderful drawing complete with pink silk bow was painted on Kay's Motorcycle...I personally dont know whether it would be better to scrap the bike or soak up the embarassment of coming to an auto garage to have it repainted. I think there was a comercial for something like this somewhere, Paint 20 bucks, bike couple of thousand bucks, price of man hours for the paint 10-300 dollars...the look on Kays face....Priceless.

Concerning Angel, I must make clear that there are two known Angels, one being of my family. I hope no confusion results from this. As for this Mr Thatcher, his manner may be as eloquent as anyones, but the way he admonishes a primogen and insults Dr Creed, is inexcusable. He must be made aware of where he stands, and where he does not.
Ms Zapa seems to be a nice young woman, I reminded her of the place of ghouls, just as some cautionary advice. I am also looking forward to the masquerade ball, with it being at my domain and such.

2002-10-06T12:57:00.000-07:00

One note I must make, is the fact that there are now two Angels in residence in this city, the other is of my family. I hope no confusion arrises from that. On another note, the behavior of Mr Thatcher is wretched, some reprisal must be met. He needs to learn where he stands, and where he does not. I spoke with Ms Zapa the other day, a quite polite young woman, all the same, I reminded her of the place of ghouls, and how they are to act towards Kindred. On the position of Seneschal I believe Ms Chase will be waiting a few weeks, to determine if one is needed. And on the issue of scourge, I do think we are in need of one, an unenviable position, but there is a reason for them to be.

And about this Masquerade ball, Ms Jentre has said she wanted to host it in the former elysium, mine. But I am not sure if at this point in time she still does.

2002-10-06T09:07:00.000-07:00

On to the news of the day. Anyone hearing of a Caitiff named Angel Hinds, is most to call for immediate back up or Mr. Pratt, he is a Tzimisce, who has dared to violate our elysium with his presence, beware. On a lighter note Court is meeting tonight, and Im sure there will be much talk of the new social order. The two open spots seem to be Seneschal and Scourge. Let us see who could possibly contend this spot, two members of social prominance seem to be the most likely Canidates are Eva Jentre of Clan Toreador, and Subella De Boulle of Clan Gangrel...these shall be an interesting turn of events to watch. The position of Scourge is being discussed so I hear, and the prime canidate...Jayson Rilux, the job may not be glamorous, but it is essential none the less.

Crafty stylish people here is the heads up, Ms. Jentre has planned to host a "Masquerade Ball." This Halloween, which I rather look forward to. It will be interesting to see the fads and styles to come from this. Speaking of style and manners, I have heard some pretty disparaging remarks about Mr. Thatcher. Firstly reprimanding Ms. Jentre a primogen on her manners and going way above his station, then only to hear about him insulting Dr. Creed's culture because he does not shake his hand. Excuse me if i missed something, but doesnt that seem to be firstly quite hostile actions to people who have worked hard to earned their status and really stepping beyond your bounds. I will hope to see much better behavior in my presence and hope to never see, such an insult as those stated before this...EVER.

I have heard Malachai is the most likely canidate for the Primogen of Clan Malkavian, this mayhaps should be very very interesting.
Speaking of Primogen, its rather interesting to notice Kay, and Jaxon "wrestling" i beleive is the best term I can give for the circumstance that ended up in Jaxon walking off on his merry little way, should elicit a few laughs.

Speaking of ghouls, Wilfred has unveiled a rather lovely young woman named Zapa, whom I would be a little more pleased with if she stopped to either pronounce or not mistake our names for something else. Otherwise I see she has a good teacher, that will indoctrinate her into our society.

That is the news as I have heard it.

Well, first of all I am quite honored to be considered among the ranks of the Harpies. More importantly over my stay here I have been very aware watching and thinking, noting many of the kind and genial manner others have been greeted. I would like to congradulate Ms. Chase, or perhaps Prince Chase is more acceptable in rising to the position of Prince. She truely has done many things to keep this city running, such as properly taking care of introductions of both clanmates and friends in a speedy manner.

I have a very strained opinion on the Primogen due to the shuffling of Ranks, though I must commend Dr. Creed, Mr. Pratt, Frost, Defoe in their admirable efforts to maintain the safety of our city during the freakshow incident, as belated at it might be. Next time you all see Ms. Jentre you might wish to thank her for a well set up, expediently arranged and executed Primogen Council. Also Julian, nice play on bringing forth the Registry..too bad it didnt pass. Go Jon, in also being chosen as a Harpy, I will enjoy working with you and Ms. De Boulle.

Be on the look out for a Mr. Angel Hinds, proclaimed Caitiff, after a simple test and an aura scan, Angel ran from the wreck, not to be found when we were attempting to find out any of his crediblity, this you should not doubt is very disconcerting and likely points his allegiences with the Sabbat, I mean isnt that just a little suspicious. Even more so his reason for coming up was he saw others of our kind and wished enterence well, how did you know it was our kind?...he came from Chicago and knew little of it, Id hope you would know something about your home...well why dont we just paint a sign "Im Sabbat and a poor liar.Hang me hang me!" On an interesting note we were visited by a Mr. Cassidy Michaels, seems nice enough for a Lasombra giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. Id like to welcome Cale Ansgar of Clan Brujah, he has been a sport so far about taking a blood test, to prove himself and wishes some very violent ill upon the Sabbat...sounds pretty good to me.
There will be more when I hear it...and something tells me that will be very soon.

Well, my first post amoung the ranks of the harpies. This should prove an interesting experience.

Jon of the Nosferatu

2002-10-04T07:32:00.000-07:00

Lots have happened as of late - with the inclusion that quite soon, there will be more Harpies to assistin attending to this page, namely Sera Tyler of Tremere and Jon of Nosferatu. Marlo Chase did give me the advice for Ms Tyler, though she also recommended a Jeremiah Thatcher from her own clan. I disagreed with his placement, simply becuase the one time I actually heard his name, it was in a negative way, so I think it would be better to see him in action a couple of times. Jon, well, he's present, quite often, if a little quiet, which we will have to work on. He may have been a possibility, but I did see one of our esteemed Primogen Council attempt to sway him somewhat with the possibility of him receiving a position as Harpy. I thought, to Hell with it, he would likely do well on his own, and that would be worlds better than to have him beholden to another from the beginning.

Prince Chase? Yes, I do believe this to be true. Apparently, Arkady decided to abdicate the position during the Primogen Council meeting. I wonder why? He had claimed several times to me that doing so would result in his likely death. I doubt it. It will harm him somewhat status-wise, but that should be no great loss to them. He cannot be altogether that much worried about others putting their sights on him either physically or socially.

She will likely do a better job than he does, to be honest. He is no politician. I wish her well and the rest of the Camarilla well under her direction.

Eva Jentre. She is the example of what I must not become. I caught myself, behaving as I would expect her to earlier this evening. She is quite full of herself - drunk on the power she wields. Children should not be given power. I believe Monsieur Dumont disagree me when I said that not all who possess power are worthy of it. When she spoke for the Toreador, she had my support. Now, while she sits back to gain power and influence, she deserves a good flogging.

I await to hear from Jon. Sera has been given full access to this site, so, she will no doubt see this posting. Everytime I handle this computer I marvel at its wonders. I feel, too, that perhaps it isn't me.

It seemed the other day that Ciaran would be placed in the proverbial lap of Eva Jentre. Bolt had decided to leave - rather abruptly I might add. He had maintained Ciaran, and he even asked me for assistance as Ciaran is a Gangrel it turns out. I wonder how much of that drive would be to keep Ciaran alive long enough to allow Bolt access to our Protean. Could be? Well, it matters little anymore, as he has left town.

Idola has left as well. Why? Apparently, she 'lacks the plot.' This was told to me by Ciaran, who seemed quite broken-hearted about it all. Yes, it was truly a shame. The Anarchs shall now be without their leader. I see two possible conclusions: 1) They will crawl back into whatever hole spawned them, or 2) They will rampage until proper leadership - or destruction - finds them.

I hear, too, that Ms Chase thinks me not doing my job to the best of my ability. Pray tell, Marlo. Think on this for a bit. Over the past several weeks, several Primogen, Harpies, and notable figures have disappeared. Arkady, Marlo, and Eva seem to be the only ones remaining present. Vincent Creed still remains, but he has been on the fringes of any leadership position despite his capabilities.

I will have to find new Harpies soon - however, I must wonder if it is bad for my health to remain one myself.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-25T13:08:00.000-07:00

I have to wonder now about the rumors of Primogen gone missing. As of late, I have seen the other Harpies go missing as well. Where are you both?

The Sabbat run rampant through the city once more. A group of them set upon Prince Filitov and several others last evening. There may have been one among the Gangrel, as Lucas had espoused belonging to a Path of Enlightenment. The Prince believed that likely labeled him as Sabbat.

It is odd how alliances and friendships change among our kind. I have gone in completely the other direction in regards to my treatment of and feelings toward both Eva Jentre and Connor Munroe. The sum of it is, I base my new judgements on actions performed toward clan. I could say that Eva benefits sect, and she has, especially with her gatherings, but that is not what impresses me about her. She has sought the Primogency for a long while, and she has stayed true to her Path. They have gotten in line behind her, and even if they are not all standing out, they are at least honorable representatives of their clan - by and large - thanks in part to Ms. Jentre.

Judging by everything I have heard from Kindred currently and formerly in the city of St Louis, there is a great deal of both immigration to and emigration from the city. It is hardly stable in any sense, but the fact that it functions as well as it does in present times - especially with the large contingent of Anarchs across the river, the Sabbat forays that seem to constantly threaten us, and the lupine threat that may or may not be present - is a testament to the leadership skills of both Filitov and Marlo Chase.

Though he is often quiet, and I cannot at all times be certain of standing within Clan Tremere, I cannot help but believe Dr. Vincent Creed is an asset to the Camarilla of St Louis as well. He would seem the court magician to our beloved Prince and his advisor.

I wonder if it is the proximity to the Anarchs or the constant influx that keep our Brujah remarkably tame. Perhaps they are not - it could be possible that it just seems that way to me due to the presence of the afore-mentioned conditions. I like them, though - all of them that I have met.

I have begun to think of this place of something of an entity in and of itself. The Kindred we have here are quite the capable lot when allowed to blossom or driven toward a goal. Perhaps it is the city that vexes us and keeps some amount of destabilization at a constant.

It could be said, that after being severely injured in a sparring match with a supposed ally, that i am simply in too much pain to be attempting more rational thought.

Eva's Carnival last night had a relatively good turn-out. I felt somewhat out of place being there, however. I know this sounds terribly pompous, but bread and circuses are to appease the masses. Nobles generally follow different sorts of pursuits. Admittedly, I did enjoy myself, however, once I allowed myself the opportunity.

There were strange games being played. I noticed the quickness of some of the Brujah in catching goldfish. Several sires are proud in the extreme, I am sure. These remarks are not intended scathing, as I, myself, a Gangrel, a clan of hunters, had little success in the same pursuit. I was less than impressed with the knife-throwing abilities of some, however.
Additionally, there was a sparring ring set up. I participated in two such events at mock combat. I battled Ms Jentre in a pugilistic match in which we were not to enact disciplines via blood and the like. Perhaps I underestimate her, for someone so lacking in strength took a good deal of damage I had dished out. I wonder if the "no blood" rule was adhered to properly, however. It matters very litlte. It was all in fun. I also had the opportunity to spar Ms Idola Kapilis. That was interesting. She is exceptionally strong. I have little doubt that she is likely quite fast as well. With her fists, however, I was less than impressed. The only one who truly impressed me strength-wise was the Ventrue Bukowski. I find Bukowski somewhat of a contradiction - like myself- who I would never take for a Ventrue, while he is one, whereas, I am often mistaken for a Toreador or some such clan.

It was enjoyable. I would hope that people take such outlets for what they are and gain amusement in unlives that can be, over time, quite tedious.

Lions, and tigers, and bears, Oh my!
This posting will be something like that. As it stands, word has it that the garou have returned. Moreso, the garou have returned to my Domain. It is humorous that I have not yet seen them, though, apparently, Monsieur Dumont, Monsieur Pollock claims that you have? Your Primogen corroborates that. I wonder if that would not teach others to go running about in another Kindred's recognized Domain without permission? Even though, it is disturbing that such strange beasts be running about on my own property.
Also, I hear it that there may be a Sabbat agent in our midst? Keep an eye on your fellows, especially the relatively newly arrived. I shall not speak the name just yet, but be wary, Michael. I have heard names as being in your company. Anyone that you go lupine-hunting with would be suspect. Additionally, I have heard that there may be a Sabbat named Mayhem running about, apparently AGAIN.
Lastly, beware the East Side still. As "Jake" apparently killed Cristiano, there might be some chance of some reprisal, even though we as Camarilla claim no responsibility for the slaying. I do not doubt that they are exceedingly happy over the death.
Lastly, do not forget to spread the word about Eva's Carnival this evening - for those that may not be aware. She promises security, but my fellow Kindred, be aware. I have strange feelings about the event.

I do not like demanding that someone pay attention to me simply because I am a Harpy. I would hope that a pleasant smile and a few kinds words would be enough. In the case of Archy, of Nosferatu, I am particularly bothered. Apparently, he had wished to tell Dr Creed something, and he might have been amicable to doing so in my presence. However, he acted somewhat strange when Jon came into the place and began talking about Connor and his pack.

Archy then proceeded to act rude and ignore me - even after being corrected for doing so by the Primogen, Eva Jentre. I realize that he may be antisocial, but among others of our kind, it does help to at least behave presentably. I spoke with Jon about it, and Archy did call me later and apologize - after telling me several bits of news that Jon had the previous evening.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-17T20:29:00.000-07:00

I am at a loss for how to truly express my disappointment and anger with this next bit of news. It goes without saying that a couple of members of my clan, namely Connor and his childe, Casey, are disreputable in the extreme. The Keeper of Elysium, Jon, told us some even more disconcerting news last evening.

I have spoken before about Connor building something of his own little brood. I am wondering when he decided to include vampire hunters in that little gathering. It comes from Jon that Connor is befriending and/or harboring a "vampire hunter." It goes without saying that such an interaction, regardless of the skill and capability of this hunter, is quite bad.

Additionally, a "gargoyle" is said to be running with this motlety crew as well. Dr. Creed seemed quite interested in that little tidbit, and he went off to find more information about said creature. Be cautious.

Interestingly enough, it is also believed that in some twisted attempt to gain entry into the Camarilla, that the brood has been courting the Nosferatu, since those Gangrel with clout among the Camarilla recognize them for the malcontents and purveyors of outright foolishness that they are. In this attempt, it is claimed that the "pack" will seek to stake Idola and Cristiano, both of notable Anarch fame in attempt of impressing the Camarilla - and quite likely beginning some sort of turf war.

Should the brood-members be caught on this side of the river, barring Connor, himself, they are to be destroyed on sight. Connor is believed to have a bit more prowess. I have defeated him in single combat, but we were not quite fighting for our lives, so I am uncertain to the extent of his ability. If at all possible, encounter these in groups. If they should hunt you, it would be as predator seeking prey, so, in turn, offer no quarter.

After reading your rebukes, I must admit that I took a stance with too powerful an opinion, too quickly. Forgive my misinterpretations, perhaps my own paranoia at meeting death at the hands of the status stalkers over came my common sense. Forgive me, my friends.

Michael Dumont

2002-09-15T19:21:00.000-07:00

My comment may have come off a little rough, granted. But I hardly think you are in a position, Mr. Dumont, to criticize me regarding Primogens. When it was you, infact, who said that a primogen could "suck your left withered nut". To be perfectly honest, your "mightier then thou" stance on this matter offends me, and I dont like being treated as such.

Alas, I must agree with Subella regarding the unity of the harpies. Therefore, I will drop the issue, though I would appreciate an apology from your behalf, and will likewise extend my own apologies if I offended either of you by any of my other comments.

I'd rather not beat this issue to death, so I'll move on and bring up another subject. Giovanni. Apparently some Giovanni is being adamant about Mr. Filitov apologizing to him other the death of one of his clanmates. He seems to think Nick Tennyson, recently deseased Primogen killed him. His information was fed to him by the little midget Malkavian, Hope, who was killed by Kay recently. Can we say get over it? We have more pressing things to deal with then stuff like this.

Blake Maloy

2002-09-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

Monsieur Dumont, perhaps you should rethink your position in things before you become so bold as to offer chastisement and tell everyone else their rights from wrongs. Your previous discourse was every bit as inappropriate any made by myself or Monsieur Maloy.

If you wish me to elaborate on my position, I shall - apparently it seems necessary since the simple logic that I chose to impart was not handled as carefully as it should have been.

I am not about to run out and insist that every clan place someone on a Primogen Council just so that they might have say. Of course, outside of my clan, such a decision is not mine to make. I simply urge that a clan choose a responsible member that will look out for, and speak on behalf of, their Clan, and more, the Camarilla. I have no desire to see our Ivory Tower topples because someone was more worried about being able to speak their wishes with less concern for reprisal at a gathering rather than strength and concern for the Traditions that govern us and allow for our continued survival.

I have not the benefit of a parent clan in the Camarilla. I uphold the values and the Traditions of sect. Before one would go and call me into question, the speaker should bare in mind that this notion alone gives me every bit as much credence as one who claims membership by blood. I do not have to be here. I choose to be here.

With pleasant lack of more controversial nature within St Louis at present, I can see that it woudl be easier to turn inward and look upon one's fellows for errors, but do remember what I said when we first spoke about these things, Monsieur Dumont, we speak as one, or our word means nothing. Do you think the Camarilla society at large would give weight to anything we said if they thought us back-biting? I ask you to use the good sense that I know you possess, and cease a backslide that would return you to your less-than-savory manner of character before your recent return to St Louis.

I do not seek to break any Primogen. In all honesty, they need our assistance now more than ever. If you will recall, I withdrew any attempt to damage the character of Ms Jentre with the notion that she would seek to lead your clan and improve its place within this city. Any veiled threats or thoughts of poor judgement on my part are greatly out of place. All clans need strong Primogen. What's more, they need fair Primogen. I will not speak for Monsieur Maloy, but I do believe that I am owed an apology, Michael.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-14T20:21:00.000-07:00

Lest we not forget the disparity in our ranks, my comrades in arms, so to speak. As the new arrival to the ranks of the harpies, in this city, I am reluctant to voice my concerns at the haughty attitudes represented in the previous statements in this forum. While yes, I do agree that occasionally the primogen need to be tested, I find it appauling that the attitude is being harbored amongst us that we can "make or break" primogen. Certainly, as lower level officials in the court of Saint Louis, it is our duty as the guardians of the status system to support the council of primogen, in their endeavours. Certainly, I am not stating that we should turn a blind eye to their transgressions, but many of the primogen who chose to accept the appointment to that office do so with a great deal of humilty. Certainly, the power hungry strive to occupy those positions of exultation, amongst their own broods, but for many there are also many other factors involved. Being the voice of one's clan is no small task. To accurately represent the wishes of your bretheren suggests a great social understanding of your clanmates, not to mention a great deal of tact to represent those opinions with one voice, one compromised opinion. The position of primogen will filter itself out, as we of the Toreador have recently demonstrated. If a primogen is not completely their tasks to the satisfaction of the clan, and are sufficiently lacking support, they will be replaced with the more capable.

But I recoil in shock, at the mention that we, as harpies, have the power to physically make or break a primogen. That is not our station, nor the intention of our station. I am also shocked to read disparaging remarks to the lack of representation of the clans. Perhaps, I should remind both of you that the core members of the camarilla are allowed the priviledge of having the concerns of their own clan spoken in the court of the Prince. Clans which willingly left the camarilla, as a whole, or were never officially represented in the Camarilla are the only clans whom should fight for a "primogen" to represent them. The core clans, as it has been my opinion, are entirely entitled to have their voices heard at the council of elders, via the eldest or most able leader in their midst. If a particular kindred "lucks" into the position, he or she still is entitled to the opportunity to speak for their clan, if they truely represent their bretheren. A voice for every clan, was one of the founding cries for the camarilla. If it were not so, then we would revert back to the heirarchical system, the dictatorship of clan bloodline. Loyal to blood, and blood alone. If were are to accept this philosophy, then we are divided in clan, and easy targets for those who would see the Ivory Tower of the Camarilla destroyed.

I advise caution with these trains of thought, and possibly the tendency to err towards arrogance. We are the social police of the lower ranks of the Camarilla, the enforcers of ettiquette and grace. We are not the puppet masters whom mold primogen into our own image.

Sincerely,

Michael Dumont

2002-09-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

Again, Monsieur Maloy, leaving this up to possible personal error, in regards to a clan's right to have a Primogen - I am simply not certain where that is dictated. I do understand that it is commonly accepted. Generally, most well-established cities have either Elder or acceptedly capable Kindred per clan to establish a Primogen Council consisting of the majority of Camarilla parent clans present. This is not everywhere, however.

Some clans do get ignored at times - this is true. Often times, during such duress, there is reason to. The same occurs with the entry of a weak primogen into a spot of representation. Take the former Toreador Primogen, Mel Duchesne. She left her clan to flounder, coming about only when necessary to ensure her perch atop the clan. The clan suffered immensely because of it. They were not respected, and the only seeming thing Ms Duchesne had managed to accomplish was to boost her status with the Primogency, which her status suffered nonetheless despite the increase gained by Primogency.

Eva Jentre, despite any disagreements we have had in the past has put them back in the spotlight. She has catered to stereotypes at first with the throwing of several parties, but what is wrong with that? The masses expect such things from the Toreador. She allows the St Louis Toreador to be looked upon like the every-Kindred's Toreador. Now, the clan has nowhere to go but up.

You have every right to disagree with me, Monsieur Maloy. I am simply not in the business in giving a Kindred the option to be Primogen if said Kindred is undeserving, either through action or through inexperience. This has nothing to do with age. Taking the responsibility of your clan: its members, actions, and prestige, upon your shoulders is a truly daunting task. It should not be attempted by someone that, for lack of a better word, lucked into the Primogency.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-13T18:37:00.000-07:00

I'm afraid I don't entirely agree with you, Ms. Du Boulle. Because I have seen many times clans not represented by a Primogen go unnoticed in the scheme of things. It is a clan's right to have a Primogen, but it is also our right as harpies to either mold them into proper leaders, or see that the week are culled from our ranks.

It should be noted here that the Brujah Primogen, Bolt, is now taking up accounting for Ciaran. I'm not too sure where exactly he is a thorn in our side, seeing I haven't heard much about him except for the fact that his sire was destroyed shortly after his embrace.

Im afraid we have much bigger things in our side. Such as the anarchs, or the death of a Primogen. Nick Tennyson was killed last night by a Malkavian embraced child. Yes, I spelt it correctly, child. She goes by the name of Hope, and I have been cautioned by several kindred to watch out for her blade.

On to the anarchs. Leighton showed up at the trainwreck last night, letting accusations run abound about so and so killing two anarchs, Derek and Arianna. I'm really not sure why they get off badgering the Seneschal, but Mr. Filitov came in and put a stop to that instantly. Also, regarding Kay Croft leaking information to this crude excuse of a kindred, Leighton listened into one of Kay's conversations and used her as an excuse for the information. This Leighton has no backbone what so ever, along with the Etiquette of an ape. If our responsibilities extended to him, he would surely have our ire.

Blake Maloy

2002-09-13T15:07:00.000-07:00

I suppose that I could be mistaken, but it has always been my understanding that the Primogen are a group of the city's prominent Kindred whose job, or more appropriately, responsibility, is to "advise" the Prince. A strong Prince, as I believe Monsieur Filitov to be, will accept the advise, if not necessarily take it. Some cities have Princes who share some bit of power or influence with exceptionally strong Primogen or a council of such.

We are so caught up in every single clan having a Primogen. Certainly, each clan has a voice and should have their ideas represented, but the necessity of every clan having a Primogen - at the risk of appointing someone just because their clan needs representation? I say this easily as my clan is without a Primogen, but I would also have to be speaking for any whose parent clan may be unaligned, even though that such individual may be desperately loyal to our sect and its Traditions.

We have at several times since my arrival been without a Malkavian Primogen. At present, it seems that the Tremere are not resprested either, if the earlier post is to be taken as gospel. I know of cities where some clans hold no representation on council, while others my have multiple representatives. Is it fair that each clan must be represented? Not every individual is in such cases. We shall never please everyone.

You all might think my words bordering on blasphemy. I assure you that that is not the case. Should we give children firearmsa nd ammunition - telling them only that if they can figure the weapon out, that they may shoot it at whomever or whatever they wish?

I have old and potent Gangrel blood in my veins. I have been called "Elder" no few times by members of my clan as well as by members of others. Does this make me eligible for a Primogency? No, it does not, either, despite my standing in the Camarilla. It seems to me that such positions should be chosen, likely by the Prince that would wield the advice given him by the Primogen. If the Prince is a fool, then he would likely choose foolish primogen - though God help the city that would fall under such rule. We have no such a Prince. If we all cared more for sect and less for clan prestige, then it would benefit the lot of us.

Arkady Filitov and myself are both without the pleasure of a parent Camarilla Clan, though I would challenge any among the Kindred of St Louis to challenge our loyalty. We do quite well without the necessity of having a Primogen. Too much stock is being put into the position lately. Watch the ambitious and powerhungry come out to play.

Power is said to corrupt, you know?

Thunder in the heavens, my friends, thunder in the heavens. The surviving primogen seem to be quarreling with the prince, or are at least prey to the largest misunderstanding I have witnessed since the "Cavalier" incident of 1850, in the Parisian court. It seems that somewhere in the mix, either Ms. Jentre, Bolt... or -someone- seemed to have spread the impression that the ever present thorn in Saint Louis's side, Ciaran, was blood hunted. Much to Mr. Filitov's fascination, as he himself did not call a blood hunt.

Either way, I am rather concerned as to the stance we, as harpies are taking on the current primogen "situation". It is true, in many of the older and more established cities primogen fluctuate rarely, or at the whim of the elder in the city. Unfortunately, our city operates under slightly different circumstances. We have very few elders in our ranks, even for American cities, and it would seem that the city is still reeling from the experience involved with the "relic" a few months bad. The capable leaders in our city seem to be under constant scrutiny from naysayers, their status based solely upon popular opinion, not on merit. I find it rather alarming when a pack of neonates, barely out of the womb, let alone flowing with kindred vitae seem to believe that they know how best a city should be run. I daren't think how many of them would challange the praxis, were it not for Mr. Filtiov's combat prowess, and overwhelming populairity in the Camarilla.

I would suggest, once new primogen have been found for the representless clans are appointed, and even with our current primogen, that we support them. Should they be inept, then I am certain that something can be done to educate and reform them. But until that time, it is my opinion that Mr. Filitov requires a council of primogen to bring to him the concerns of each individual clan. We are, as harpies, just as much artists, chipping away the weak, polishing the unfinished stone, as we are the wasps, the razor tongued entities which have led many of the independant minded to the anarchs. Merely a matter of opinion, I would be very curious to hear of your own remarks on the subject.

Missing Primogen? Who all has gone missing? Ms Duchesne was never so much missing as simply not bothering to interrupt her schedule, so I take it from the Toreador. Dr Creed ceded himself from the positions because, quite frankly, I do not think that he had really desired it. It was unfortunate that the Malkavians lost their primogen, but we did note as to the 'why.' Trog was supposed to be keeping an eye on her, and he failed. Too often we muddle ourselves with things and seek problems where there might not be any - at least any that we may have some influence over.

I say this without a Primogen of my own. I believe, given my status in the Camarilla - as well as with the local Gangrel, that I would be as close to a Primogen as we have - barring the obvious, that my clanmate, Monsieur Filitov, is the Prince. Odd. I wonder if I should fear for my own safety - though I know where attacks on my person would originate from.

Let us not jump at shadows. We have more pressing concerns:
Random Sabbat incursions - We have no idea how many of them are still about.
Anarchs - We share a watery border with them. A Mr Leighton Briggs came by the Trainwreck. I saw him speaking with Ms Jentre, the one called Nayan, and Chris Pratt, our esteemed sheriff. It seems that Monsieur Briggs is currently a defacto leader of the Anarchs, and he has been trying to gather evidence on a "Derek's" possible destroyer. He asked a couple of times how we would react if one of ours died by Anarch hands in Anarch Territory. I mentioned Trog. I simply bade the man that the lot of them be respectful of us and Arkady's Domain, should they decide to venture over this way.
A slight bit of disconcertion bothers me as Monsieur Briggs claims to have received the lot of his information from Kay Croft. I realize that relations between Anarchs and Brujah are often friendly, but I would rather not have one among the Camarilla readily feeding information over toward "the other side" of the river.

It also has been some time since my last post, but I too have been caught up in inter clan issues and the like. I'll try to give the best account of the past few days.

Im going to start with Seung, and the other Primogen, since Mr. Dumont brought it up. It appears Primogen have a nasty habbit of dissapearing. There's two possible explinations for this: something suspicious is aloof, or the Primogen just couldnt take the heat. I myself prefer the later, after all, not everyone was a born leader. But several kindred have expressed to me their concerns about dissapearing Primogen, so I thought I'd bring it up. Oh, and Mr. Dumont I don't believe Ms. Li will be able to "suck your withered left testicle" as she's gone missing.

On a similair note, Nick Tennyson is now Primogen of the Malkavians, and has shockingly yet to dissapear. All I'll just give you both a caution, he's an odd one. Talking about a woman covered in boils vomiting acid, and tossing around Wilfred and Bukowski like rag dolls.

Last night, at the trainwreck, the infamous Sabbat April was spotted. Due to the efforts of our wonderful Seneschal, a breach in the masquerade was avoided, by sending Bukowski off with her. What happened after that, Im not exactly sure, as soon as I find out I'll be sure to share.

One final thing, regarding misfits in the clans. I know we all have our own, but if either of you see Devin acting up, please inform me so I can rectify the situation before it gets out of control. And I'll likewise do the same for both of you. Be safe, just incase Mr. Tennyson is indeed correct.

Blake Maloy

2002-09-11T13:07:00.000-07:00

No apologies needed, Monsieur Dumont. Monsieur Maloy and I have been somewhat lax as well. I will admit that mine stem largely from clan difficulties. There have been several new arrivals to my clan, some of whom are indeed honorable and fair-minded Kindred. So you should know them by name: Wilfred Vasquez and two independents, Iain Eidison and Jenna.

As of late, I have been occupying something of an informal leadership position of the Gangrel, bearing some of the weight so that Arkady Filitov will not be so mired considering his other duty as Prince and all. I have been doing the best I have been able to assist my clan, but there is simply no accounting for stupidity. Connor Munroe and his childe, Casey, are beyond wisdom. I wish that I could change this in them or change my mind about them, but at every opportunity, more foolishness ensues.

I am immensely angry as I have done quite a lot in the past to rectify the situation. When the problems occurred with the honorable Toreador Primogen, Eva Jentre, I did attempt to diffuse them, but in the long run, it has been to no avail. I feel saddened that I have apparently wasted much time on their behalf and burned potential bridges with a few Camarilla in good standing.

I did run into Zoe, and she seemed much more the responsible and responsive socialite that I've hoped for. Monsieur Dumont, your clan does seem to be coming around. That makes me happy. You shall let me know if there is anything that may be done to increase this momentum.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-08T12:17:00.000-07:00

Greetings my friends, I do apologize that it has been several days since I made my last post. I am somewhat motivated to give an account of the toreador hosted party, which might I add, neither of you attended. But I would like to reply to some of the allegations previously made, before I go on with the current news. If I may be so bold, Miss Li may suck my withered left testicle. I am not only annoyed that she did not contact me herself with her concerns, but blatantly irritated by her condesencion. Ms. Jentre has been nothing but well mannered, at least when she is in my own company. I trust that yourself, Ms du Boulle or Mr. Maloy have been apt to correct her behavior. However, it also bears witness that both Ms Li and Ms Jentre are primogen, and should thereby be treated equally. It is how I have elected to treat them. But I frankly see no great honor in someone clearly lacking in style, grace, and wit. She dresses in a fashion appropriate of a brothel, and has been open with her disrespect for leadership in her clan. I am of the belief that Dr. Creed should still hold the office of Primogen, in the Tremere Clan, and now that he has returned from a brief hiatus, I would be most interested to see how their clan politics may pan out. If there is any instability within the tremere, it is something that Miss Li's own trechery and arrogance has caused. Neonate... "peas out." Gah. Pardon my rant, but I am also annoyed that she is of the belief that because she "sponsored" my ascension to harpydom, that by some rite I owe her a boon. Make no mistake, I will publically deny that. I believe that I ascended to walk among the social elite by carefully shaking off a poor reputation, and proving myself. Nothing a few words of praise from a warlock did.

Anyhow... to the matter of the party. I'll do my best to make the brief. Yes, before you hear it on the rumour mill, I did have a nasty slip which resulted in a belly flop. Ask no more. I'll try to keep a breakdown of the party activities point form.

Fox. Also known as Casandra Bella-Ramon.. but goes by the nickname Fox. Did I mention that my new nick name is Stallion? You know... because. Heh. She appeared to be well mannered, if not a bit... blond. Ah well, I suppose not just the pristine of humanity fall in among us.

Nick.. he showed up on time, well mannered young man. A little.. shifty, but you can't blame him for a twitch. Forgot his swimwear, tisk tisk... then again, so did the Prince.

Mr. Jayson Rilux was also among those who came within the first hour. He can well prepared, with bathing wear, and managed to nearly awe myself and the other toreador with some stunning body work. In particular, a rather large dragon tattoo, which seemed to compensate for his scarring. Makes me wonder about his mortal life... it was clearly less priviledged than the one he lives now.

Estelle. Estelle. Lovely little creature, beautiful, excellent choice of fashion. Waspish. If you think that I can be unpleasant, be wary about this one. Her tongue is sharp, and is applied with the precision of a machete in the jungle. Hack and slash, with no consideration for social pleasantries. It was bloody rude. There was a pleasant contrast to the times she talked, though, she was silent, and looked pretty.

Ms. Jentre was the pinnacle of pool side fashion. Elegant, but not over stated, sexy, but not slutty. She and Ms Li should have a conversation on style. Ms. Li could have a lot to learn.

Ms. Chase arrived fashionably late, as is her priviledge. Her date, Bukowski treated her to a hearty douse of water from a cannonball. Kudos to Buko for a sense of humour.

However, Bukowski's body is disgusting. Revolting... hideous. I'd rather not see it bare ever again..

Dr. Creed was good enough to show up, slightly overdressed. However, some people just shouldn't be seen in bathing suits, so I think him for his discression in this matter.

Last but not least, Mr. Filitov was the latest arrival while I was present. He was fully clothed, and I had joked with Ms. Jentre that the first arrival who was fully clothed, and un-prepared was to be thrown into the pool. She teased me and dared me to do it... I elected to leave, and make a phone call. The call took quite a long while, but I overheard a rather loud splash, some thrashing... and a great deal of laughter. I thought it best not to inspect, and finish up my business. Either way, the party was a success, if not poorly attended. Everyone present seemed to have a good time. Kudos to Zoe, for hosting a fantastic party, and to myself... if I can do that, for financing it. Either way, that is all I have for you now.

Sincerely,
Michael Dumont

2002-09-07T07:42:00.000-07:00

I feel this needs saying, and I'll be sure to pass it along to Seung next time I see her. The problem with Eva Jentre was not her behavior per se, but her lack of status to back up her actions. Now that she is the primogen of her clan, she does have the proper backing for her behavior. I should also state that thus far I have been quite pleased with her performance. You're forunate, Michael, to have such a person working for your clan. Kudos to Ms. Jentre, and all of the Toreador in general.

Now let's talk about Kay, shall we? There's no denying the respect she's earned from her formidibible skills in combat. Sure, she may be a little or rude now and then, but she always justifys herself to me afterwoods. Also, Bolt has appointed her as her whip, which I can say suprised me quite a bit. She may have my respect, but she doesn't strike me as one to be interested in the political games of our society. Let us sit back, and watch things unfold with this one.

2002-09-06T20:03:00.000-07:00

Given the recent uproar of Sabbat activity, I would ask that you, my fellow Harpies, as you keep an ever watchful eye toward the behavior of our members, that you also keep an eye out for the Sabbat. Inform any new arrivals of the dangers these uncouth fools pose. I think it unbelievable that fellow Kindred would dare to assault such open occasions - they would suffer every bit as much as we were the Masquerade to shatter. So, please keep everyone abreast of situations and movements.

Monsieur Dumont, I have earlier received a phone call from a certain Tremere Primogen. She seemed a little put out that one of the Harpies seemed to disregard herself and Dr. Creed so openly yet allow Ms Jentre to flaunt alleged poor behavior. Ms Li did wish you to be alerted that insulting the Tremere clan was not the wisest course of action that you should take. Be careful.

I do wonder, about Seung and Dr. Creed. Seung has so quickly followed on the footsteps of the good doctor in two of his appointed positions. The doctor stands now with little to no status - compared to his once vast amount. He was an able Primogen, and he was quite an apt Harpy. I wonder if there shall be a power struggle? We must do what we can to prevent such a thing, Harpies. We have only recently found the Toreador working together again. We do not need another clan torn asunder.

I'm afraid that I can't really comment on frequency of posting. Perhaps my own eagerness to perform this task suitably has filled the coffers of harpy rumour. Either way, if my frequency is of disturbance please inform me and I can curtail my reports to a more potent post.

As for Connor, I am not entirely certain how acting "Toreador" is to be defined. From my own experience, while there are more than a few of stereotypical origin, there are also an equal number of completely original kindred. In particular, among the neonates, with modern culture newer behaviors and arts are surfacing. All in all, should I encounter this creature, I will inform him of the recent conventions against stereotyping and rascism. I refuse to be identified by a stereotype, that which I know I share with my blood is merely the curse passed on from Caine. Aside from that, we toreador are as diverse as any other clan. If his mind is far too narrow to understand such "radical" and "new" principles, then he is likely unworthy of your interaction in any case, Madamoiselle du Boulle. We cannot deny who we are as people, because our clans are art fags, money obssesed blue bloods, or savages. I refuse to follow such conventions. I congratulate you for your appropriate choice.

Sincerely,

Michael Dumont

2002-09-05T21:49:00.000-07:00

We have been posting more than usual have we not?

It seems my clanmate - why do I wish to scoff at that? Certainly not of my being Gangrel, for I am quite proud of that fact. I find it ridiculous that i share blood with one so dishonorable as Connor. He, who would snipe at me for acting as a "Toreador," as he put it would disregard something my clan has always kept with it - our honor. I will not deny my appreciation for the Toreador and their ways, but I must protest the negative language one of my line would use in referrence simply because he disagrees with the way I choose to assist my fellow Gangrel and Kindred alike.

I wash my hands of him and his childe. Do forgive me, fellow Harpies, for going over this rant. I am not in the best of moods, and it is all made worse by foolishnes. My clan's numbers are growing. I have met several wonderful and respectable members already that have arrived recently arrived in St Louis. I am just full of pity for those that it seem will never understand.

In Frustration,
Subella du Boulle

2002-09-05T09:29:00.000-07:00

Well, it does appear that we did not rid ourselves of all Sabbat during their recent invasion. I would chalk up this last bit of violence to sour grapes on some parts, and foolish children left behind on others.

Several of our numbers have been quite vigilant over the past week. I believe the good showing that most everyone received at Court has been something of an inspiration - whether any would wish to admit it or not. Several Kindred have stepped up to prove themselves worthy. Worthy? of what? The Camarilla. Often times, many of us forget that the Camarilla is not merely a social club for get-togethers and Elysium courtings. No, it is part of our very existence. By its Traditions, we exist - though some think little of breaking them, we would all truly be remiss without those that follow behind and offer the safety and stability that is our Masquerade.

I'll thank my clanmate, Wilfred, as his name has been mentioned several times in no-less-than-glowing reports and news.

Seth Cruz did seem to do a little to raise his level of import by destroying the Lasombra the other evening. This is somewhat for naught, however, as there was a black shroud present, and the event could not have been healthy for the Masquerade - even though it was triggered by a foolish Lasombra.

Kay Croft. A couple of Kindred that I hold in high regard lauded praise upon her. Yje Brujah woman was described as potent, I do believe, and a "good girl?" I would hesitate before relaying the last, but considering the Kindred who informed me of this, I'll give it as not but a compliment. Keep an eye on this one.

I will bid you both adieu for now as I eagerly await to see the actions taken by our Primogen - when they get around to doing so. Effectiveness of a strong Primogen Council - which one would hope that we now have can know little in the way of bounds.

Subella du Boulle

2002-09-04T18:10:00.000-07:00

As Mr. Dumont acurately described, the trainwreck has been the center of some heated disputes. The night before last, a sabbat pack attacked several kindred. Three lashed out at Kay Croft of the brujah, but with the assistance of Marlo and Wilfred they managed to destroy the trio. It seems one sabbat did escape, however. As for last night's attack, Im afraid I cant offer much more insight then those outside. After all, I couldnt even see a battle raging infront of me, but yes the keeper met its maker, and the masquerade was preserved.

Just one more thing of note. Marlo Chase will now be taking over primogenship duties of Clan Ventrue, as well as being Seneschal. I doubt that it will affect you any, just wanted to inform you that Jonathan Shrell no longer holds the position of Primogen, and should be treated as such.

As for the anarch Christiano. All I have to say is, did you expect anything else from a rebel?

Blake Maloy

2002-09-03T22:21:00.000-07:00

The sabbat strike again, at the social center for our unlives. The Trainwreck was viciously attacked last evening at eleven thirty in the evening. Outside the scene when I arrived were Toreador Primogen Eva Jentre, former Primogen Jayson Rilux, and the anarch named Cristiano. Arriving shortly thereafter were the newly appointed Sheriff Chris, as well as the bold gangrel Wilfred. He and I both advanced into the shroud to arrest the escape of the offending lasombra, using only our gifts of intuition to guide us. The rest, under Sheriff Chris formed a rear guard to further retard the escape of the sabbat attackers, and to help keep the masquerade under control. Mr. Rilux, early in the scene used both his van and my car to block off commuter access to the Trainwreck battle. Shortly thereafter, I followed Wilfred into the shroud, and managed to make my way through it's murky blackness to the door of the trainwreck. After arriving and waiting for a few moments, I came to the conclusion that I could do little to no good, blind and deaf near the door, so I proceeded back out to join the rearguard.

After a wait after the wreck, the shroud dissipated and I headed indoors, as Bukowski left. Upon entering, I saw that Seth of the ventrue had felled the attacker... gore and ashes falling from his fangs as myself and the rear guard entered the bulding. Mr. Cruz seemed only mildly bruised, but Derek Linares, the proveyor of the information about the sabbat threat was torpored. As a gesture of the gratitude of Saint Louis, for his assistance with the information I fed him my blood to raise him. Indoors the trainwreck was also Jon, keeper of the elysium, our seneschal Ms. Chase, Blake from our own ranks, who volunteered his services to clear things up with the media. Apparently during the seige, Wilfred was blocking the doors to prevent the attacker from escaping. I'm not entirely sure if that could have led to disaster, but in this case it seemed to do the trick. Mr. Linares comfirmed that it was indeed the lasombra that he had identified in East Saint Louis that attacked him, and I am of the opinion that the target may have been him. Fortunately, the kindred was foolish enough to attack Mr. Linares in the center of our former elysium, thusly granting the city an opportunity to rid ourselves of another sabbat menace.

Special recognition should go out to Mr. Cruz, for destroying the keeper, to Mr. Rilux and Mr. Maloy for their clean up attempts, and to all those kindred who responded to the scene favorably.

Cristiano, I should add as a post scriptum was entirely useless to the situation. Short of being a loud mouthed prig, excelling himself by being louder and more priggish than myself, opted to abandon his friend inside of the wreck. The very friend whom I raised with my own vitae. I'm certain that Mr. Linares will be greatful to his anarch friend, that he is partially bonded to a camarilllian harpy. I imagine that even though my slander of him will make him look like a more popular anarch, if they learn the little tidbit about the abandoned comrade, it might have the same effect as if he were part of our status society. Either way, I thought you all should be apprised of the events of this evening.

- Sincerely,

Michael Dumont

I've just been flipping through the archives, trying to get a flavor for the way the harpies of Saint Louis operate. I am most curious... what the hell does "Peas out" mean? Forgive me for not being familiar with the language of the streets, as I have a social life and have been unable to invest time into learning ebonics, or l33t.. as my lovely ghoul Monique informs me said language may be called. That is my only additional observation.

- Michael

2002-09-03T11:20:00.000-07:00

Greetings, my fellow harpies. It is with a light heart, and a welcome smile that I approach my newly appointed task, as that of harpy. I hope to serve the court and kindred of Saint Louis to the best of my abilities. Please understand, that my unique situation within the clan toreador affords me several avenues for achieving information. That being said, there seems to be a hidden Romeo, with a crush on one of the recently appointed primogen. His "love" seems to be boundless, as does his cheque book. Should any of you notice the name, or company of a delivery person when a package should arrive to my own primogen in public, please feel free to record that information and pass it along to me. I fear that this man might harbor ill will, and the last thing that my own clan needs at the moment is the loss of another primogen, no matter of her status. That being said, I heard something quite interesting.

It turns out that the sabbat made another lovely appearence at Lacledes Landing last night. Four of them, and a lovely little pet appeared, and attempted to wreak havoc. Fortunately, Ms. Chase, Wilfred of the gangrel (yet another formidable addition to your clan, Subella), Kay, Eva and the errant Zoe were present to fight them off. Judging by the lack of frightening news reports, I would say that the situation was handled with the most delicate care of the masquerade, and that a salute should be given to that nights victims turned heros.

Speaking of the sabbat, there also seems to be a female Lasombra skulking about on the east side. Provided she isn't gifted with obfuscate, or has contact with a bloody face changer... this is her last known appearence. She's about 5'8 tall, with long black hair, and blue grey eyes. She seemed to be incredibly well dressed, and was adorned with some gaudy jewelery, which apparently seemed real. Kudos to the anarch Derek Linares for this heads up. He appears to be a well spoken individual, this Linares, far better spoken, and aware of the tradition of the Masquerade it would seem than the tremere "whip" Ulrich. The man is far too sloppy with his speech, and even euphemisms. Twice I had to remind him that we were in public, and the third time... I gave up. Needless to say, from the clan of supposed intellect and mystics, this man possesses neither in great quantity. I will speak to Miss Li, as soon as I have the opportunity. In the very location of sabbat scrutiny, his words could have given away the common nature of many of us.

Sincerely,

Michael Dumont.

I'll make an addendum to my last post because a few things need said.

I am thankful that Arkady granted my request to hold Domain over the Forest Park. I like the access and freedom I feel therein. This brings up something disturbing, however in my mind. Connor Munroe, whom I spoke with earlier spoke ill of my choice to lead something of an urban unlifestyle - as if living in the woods makes him any more Gangrel than myself.

Anyway, he asked me to meet with him sometime soon in the woods and open terrain. I am not truly trusting of him. He claims to wish to learn about the Camarilla - yet he shrugs off Status and the Traditions. We shall see. If I should go unheard of for several days, seek Connor out.

I am somewhat ashamed that several who have come to St Louis in the recent months would soil the name of my clan by calling themselves Gangrel. Moreoever, some of those that have come, without an ounce of tact or social grace, have attempted to insinuate themselves into the institution of the Camarilla without the foggiest idea of what that means.

Connor Munroe - I will admit having high hopes for this one. He seems to have a knack for chasing the skirts of insolent women, however. First Raven Monaghan, honest waste of undead vitae that she was, tugged at his heartstrings, and now this Casey girl has done so - perhaps doing him in in the process. Connor fails to understand any of our Traditions, yet he walks along the fringe of our collective, and Arkady's personal, Domain. His flighty emotions cause him to disregard that which is important - our laws and Traditions - in favor of, some ideal that he chases.
I personally had heard that he sired another, and I told him in no uncertain terms that he was not to allow this girl into our Domain, and that she was most certainly not to attend Court. She was sired without permission, thereby, another open affront to our Traditions.

I have no doubt that I may seem the proverbial Ice Queen to some. Too bad. If we let anyone run around and sire children whenever they feel like it, or whenever they become lonely, then we risk a very serious threat to our Masquerade and, thereby, to our continued existences.

On to lighter pursuits, Court. Barring the needful mention of Casey's entry, Court was much more a success this time than last. I must add that this may have something to do with the brevity, but I could be wrong.

Congratulations to Eva Jentre and Seung Li, Primogen of the Toreador and Tremere clans respectively. Additionally, we welcome a new sheriff in town - why does saying this give me an American "Old West" feeling? - in the personage of Chris Pratt, Brujah.

Several new Kindred have come to our city, among them several Toreador, Tremere, and Gangrel.

Keep an eye on Ulrich and Wilfred as both have expressed desires to be Depuity to Mr. Pratt.

Lastly, but by no means least, I would like to welcome Michael Dumont to our little coterie of Harpies. I hope you may gift us all with a taste of your style and wit.

2002-09-02T07:01:00.000-07:00

I too offered my congratulations to the two new primogen, Im sure they will serve their clan the best way that they can. From what I gathered from Ms. Jentre, Ms. Duchesne was well aware that she was going to be replaced -- atleast when she was in actual contact with her clan some two weeks ago.

On to last night's news. Court was a success, and far more people showed up then I had estimated. The highlight of the evening however was from your clan, Ms. du Boulle. When you introduced the bastard childe, Casey was her name right? Monsters in the dark, come on now, she was just trying to cover up for Connor's mistakes. I must admit the Prince was more leniant then I thought he would, I expected him to have her destroyed right there. She and her sire got off fairly easy in my book.

The prince made sure to remind us that no action was to be taken against the anarchs. And that with the recent vacating of the lupines in the forest park, it was now declared Subella's domain. Relating to that, The Brujah Primogen bolt now has acknowledged domain. Kudos to the both of you.

I'll offer two strong bits of Congratulations to our two new Primogen: Congratulations Ms Li and Congratulations Ms Jentre. The accompanying elevation in status goes without saying. I wonder how this will go among the rest of the Toreador, as I understand that Ms Duchesne once more failed to attend a clan meeting. Is that not what a Primogen is supposed to do - keep up with the members of her clan?

Ms Li, I feel badly that you must leave our membership so soon after becoming Harpy, but you now perform a responsibility much more important for your specific clan. I wish you, personally, the best of luck. I also hope that you realize that taking that responsibility would have you wash your hands of your Harpy duties. It would be a supreme conflict of interest for you to attend to so arduous a clan matter while attempting to keep the rest of the Kindred in line more socially. Feel free to disagree with this - I told the same thing to Ms Jentre when she wished to place a Primogen of her clan also in the spot of Harpy. The risk of cries of favoritism by clan could undermine anything we attempt.

In that same vein, I would deem it as unnecessary that some feel the need to have their fingers in so many pies. In doing so, you might forget which ones are the hot ones, and you might receive a very bad burn. Leave the baking to the bakers.

Ahh Subella, not to undermine credit where credit is due, I am pressured to do one thing, and that is to make a suitable replacement for Dr. Creed as Primogen for my clan. Though I may no longer be an active Harpy so to speak, my tongue shall remain as sharp as it has always been. I have no intentions of leaving the city, so to the best of my knowledge, I shall remain with you, even if catching gossip is no longer my primary concern. Take that as you will, though know I hold your thoughts in high regard.

I have had the opportunity to be graced by Michael's presence. A stunning individual, I have been impressed... Impressed enough to say that I would like to see a Toreador sitting at your table and that of the Toreador, Michael Dumont would definately be my choice. Mr. Maloy however did not seem as enthused as I did. I assured Mr. Dumont that he has my blessings and that I wish him the best of luck, assuming of course, you elect to have him at your table. That said, I have had the opportunity to do what it was I wished to do, so I need not say more on the subject. It goes without saying, Subella, I know you are fully capable of doing what is best, it's in your hands now.

Speaking of Mr. Maloy, he rudely interrupted Michael and myself while we were speaking to relay your message. Michael informed him that he will be in touch with his phone company to report the lack of service. There should be no ill will there, I informed Blake that he could wait just a few moments while I took care of my business first. To re-affirm the fact, I take responcibility in delaying Michael's responce. However, Blake and I were having a discussion when Eva Jentre decided to insert herself. Blake reprimanded her rather nicely, enough where I had to hide a bit of laughter. Props to him.

And finally, other interesting notes...

Arkady and myself had a rather equisite test of skill. We raced our cars. Had it been a half mile I'd have left him in the dust. As it was we tied at a quarter mile. I await my rematch.

That's it for me, signing off...

Ms Li, I truly wonder how long I shall have you with us. Will it be a good while, or will pressures cause you to bow out. What? Not sure of what I speak? Talk with me.

2002-08-30T19:27:00.000-07:00

Allow me to first extend my condolensces to you, I've been out of town attending to some business holdings of mine. Im sure you both know how time consuming it is to maintain a position for yourself in both the kindred and kine worlds.

Tonight brings me back to Eva. I give her respect for introducing a new rabble to Jayson Rilux, I can give her even more respect for throwing off a decent party. What I refuse to even tolerate is her blatant disrespect. Both of you, however reluctant to admit it have seen her disregard for status first hand, and she has the nerve to call me impolite and then walk out of a private meeting that I arranged to save her face? I offer to help her, yet she throws it back in my face and drags it out into public? I dont know about the two of you, but how much longer can we tolerate such behavior? I've thought about going to Ms. Duschesne regarding her, but what good would that do? She's a ghost that comes around only when he position is being threatened. So I'm back in the same place, stuck with one disrespectful Toreador and even more useless "primogen" incharge of her.

Blake Maloy

2002-08-30T15:35:00.000-07:00

Michale proved to be an excellent dancer. The Toreador are excellent at maneuvering. I do not doubt that when one of us inevitably chooses a different profession, that a Toreador will take up that vacated position. Be on your guards.

There will be a few pushes coming soon. We can all guess at one (Roses). I would not be surprised if more came. Oddly, the Gangrel seem the most stable clan, because Arkady does things his way, I do mine, and everyone eeems on the constant edge of ruin. Something to be said for stability.

Subelle du Boulle

2002-08-29T22:08:00.000-07:00

It's been a few nights since I've had anything to post.

1) Subella, I heard you enjoyed a dance with Michael at Eva's gathering. Interesting to say the least. I believe I should meet this fellow sometime soon.
2) Kay is a rather rude and obnoxious individual. She has poor etiquette. Her saving grace however is that she actually made an effort to look me up and appologize for her comments. I'm rather impressed by that.
2) Dr. Creed, or rather, Primogen Creed is apparently neglecting his duties. I've recently had a clan meeting where he was to make it public that he was formally accepted as a member of the primogen council where he felt the need to show up late--and not of the fashionably variety. And just earlier tonight, I took time out of my schedule to let him know that a new member of my clan has arrived in town, and tried to help this new member (Thomas Bremon) out. Apparently though, Dr. Creed was sitting somewhere sipping wine with Ms. Jentre, and felt it necessary to tell me that if it wouldn't take long, Ms. Jentre wouldn't mind the extra company. (How rude!) Then when I said that that might not be such a great idea since it could possibly take some time, he said that his schedule was busy and if the new arrival couldn't take it on his own to contact him, then he didn't need to speak to him. Finally, then he stated that the Tremere are not Ventrue or Toreadors and that as primogen he shouldn't have to contact his clan, they should contact him, especially since they're slow and neglecting their own duties.
A) I thought it was that case for all primogen.
B) Isn't that what I was trying to do?
C) He just arrived from Chicago last night and met with the senior member of the clan (above Dr. Creed). I don't consider that slow by any standards considering it took me three nights to get in touch with him.
Furthermore, he's also, on several occasions felt it necessary to inform me of how to do my job as a harpy. I am perfectly capable of doing so on my own, but thank you for the offer. Threats, clanwise or no, subtle or no, are still threats Dr. Creed. The last I recall, Primogen can still lose status, and Dr. Creed is walking a very fine line with his own.

Do what you do best and stay with it.

Any confident instructor would give this advice. Know your strengths. The Toreador: Eva, Michale, and Zoe should be commended for the gathering last evening. Ms Jentre has done well. I was impressed. I believe that everyone there was at least somewhat impressed - barring perhaps Marlo. She was quite difficult to read. The place was done up in haste, and the setting seemed additionally a little rushed, but it was th feeling and atmosphere that truly lended to the event. Additionally, those of us present were privy to hear remarkable performances by both Michael Dumont and Zoe - rare grace, I know. Both did behave themselves impeccably, however.

This is a bright spot indeed for Clan Toreador.

Arkady.

Arkady and the Primogen Council that met recently decided to allow the Anarchs to maintain East St Louis as their own. Quite frankly, as the area has been historically a Sabbat-populated area, then it is basically considered that the Anarchs are simply the lesser of two evils. So, they do indeed have rights - at least those granted by this city's Prince and Primogen. They make a suitable buffer, additionally, in case there should be a future Sabbat incursion, as it would likely be from East St Louis where the attacks would be coming from.

Should any of us wish to claim Domain over there, we would speak to their Baron - that or attempt to take that section of the city away from them. As it is, the taking of East St Louis would deprive us of additional opposition to the Sabbat - if not further support for ourselves. The Anarchs are fairly vigilant about the Masquerade from what I understand.

If everyone is so upset in regards to the recent attacks that the Anarchs have supposedly purpetrated upon our kind, then very well. However, if this angers you, then seek to do something about it. If you gain the Prince's permission to hunt them down, then do so. Actually, as Arkady could not do anything about Raven's slaying, since she was not Camarilla, then any slain Anarch should also not become his responsibiity. Granted, should you decide to take this more direct approach to the problem, do not let it become a habit, because if the Camarilla, or Arkady, would catch too much flack from the Anarchs, then I would assume that he would do....something.

Subella du Boulle

2002-08-25T17:55:00.000-07:00

What I am wondering is, who gave the Anarchs any right to claim Domain to begin with. Weather or not their 'turf' is called Domain, the point is still the same. Therefore that means that they're claiming rights they are in no position to claim to begin with unless permission has been granted by Arkady. Even so, by the second tradition, they would still owe him homage if he claimed it. Lets assume for a moment that he did not claim it as part of his own territory. Ok. Now, what's to keep the rest of us from claiming Domain for ourselves? Or for that matter lets assume that I wish to make my havens and their subsiding blocks my Domain, and you Subella would claim your own, and you Blake would claim your own etc. etc. etc. Aside from the obvious problems that would cause information wise, we'd all be a bunch of mini-princes, like the nobility and lords in feudal Europe, which were still granted their position by leave of their king or queen or whatever. The point I am trying to make is, if the Anarchs are not claiming to be part of the Camarilla, and do not wish to acknowledge Arkady as their prince like the rest of us do, then by no means should they be granted 'turf' under any circumstances. Even acknowledging the fact that they have 'turf' is undermining Arkady's own authority and could technically, if anyone wanted to be a bitch about it, be considered a breech of Domain. Having said that, I'm going to leave with a simple thought.

This shit's gone way too far and something needs to be done about it.

Seung

2002-08-25T11:25:00.000-07:00

Trog is just another reminder as to why the kindred of St. Louis should not venture over to East St. Louis. Im sure Trog had the best intentions going over there, to insure the safety of the Camarilla kindred, who knows. But, the point of the matters is that is not our domain, and as far as Im aware of none of the anarchs are coming into our territory. The Nosferatu are claiming about wanting revenge on Idola, some anarch I presume? That puts the Prince in a tough spot, seeing her did declare East St. Louis their territory. But who would stand for a Sheriff being killed by some rebels? I think the Prince's patience will go only so far regarding this before the anarchs feel the heat of his wrath.

In regards to Eva, Im going to choose to not comment on her anymore. We're all aware of her behavior, and her aspirations. Quite frankly, I dont see that she's worth the concern to all of us. If I do see her stepping out of line, I'll make sure to repremand her.

I think thats all on my end for now, be safe.

Blake Maloy

2002-08-25T04:15:00.000-07:00

It has been sometime since I've made a post here. Alot of that is due to the recent siege of our fair city. Dealing with unlife, loose, change can be draining and so much in such a short time is more so. But alas I have finally decided to write my finale post to this list. Or perhaps I've been lazy. Although I would surmise I've been to busy to say that. We'll call it stoic and leave it at that. But I digress.

I've recently returned from Warren's last act for this city before he leaves to go on tour. The man will be missed, as I can say with out a doubt he is exactly what the Torrie needed to help fix thier internal and external problems. I think many will agree that he will be missed, more so by those who worked with him closely like myself and Ms Chase. The benifit was very enjoyable and helped with the mood I currently find myself in. I beleive it raised quite abit of money which will go back into rebuilding this city that we call home. A very good parting gift indeed.

Onto other matters, yes I ordered the gangrels death. The decesion was left to me by those in charge at the scene and occured on the East side, outside our domain. Layla's death as well as Trog's serve as reminders as to why we should not venture over there. The decsion on Caelins life however rested with a few simple facts. First no one could give any viable reason why he should live. Two it was feared he would continue to slaughter tremere and no one was sure if he would stay on the East side. Three by our laws and by their laws the punishment for his crime was death. With Idola's and Jakes blessings I finally came to the conculsion that it would serve the greater good if we excuted him. It's a shame really as I can only imagine Layla was there looking for Conner so that she may inform him of Ravens betrayal. Do not be to harsh on the girl even after death, Raven had her faults but I find had she had proper guidance she would have surpassed them. We should always try to remeber the good about people, especially after death so that their souls may find peace in their rest. Subella please make haste in finding Conner, as I'm sure his wrath will be great indeed upon his return.

Mel is the Torrie primogen. There is no contesting that. Eva seeks the postion yes, but Mel IS the primogen. While many feel she should be more active she has earned the right to come and go as she pleases. She has a powerful hold over her clan that should not be underestimated. And she is a very respectable woman. While her apperances are few they always seem important and she does do a great deal of work when seen. She has also mastered the nack of not making negative news, unlike other Torrie in her clan. As for Eva, I suggest that she is left to her own devices. Murphy's law seems to work doubly so for her and I do not think any of you wish to be attached to her when it kicks in yet again.

In closing, I stress the importance of telling others to stay out of the East side. We have lost two already to that side of the town. We seem to be losing more to Anarchs than we did to Sabbat. Layla's and Trogs deaths are enough in my book. You should, amoung other duties, stress to all new arrivals and old friends, that the East side does not play by our rules and you risk unlife and limb by going over there.

Finally farewell my friends. I'm sure I will see many of you in the coming nights. Do take care of yourselves.

2002-08-25T02:30:00.000-07:00

How very quick we are to jump toward conclusions. You must realize that while Ms Jentre's (along with Dominique de Wildt and Seth Cruz) actions are less than shining among those stars of Kindred, especially consiering the great leaps some have made over the past several weeks, that they do not violate Tradition. In fact, they benefit Filitov himself. While our Prince may be inclined toward the judicious use of overkill, apparently, that is the way things are more safely done in his estimations.

Primogency among the Toreador.
Yes, this is an interesting situation. The Toreador will soon meet in order to establish a more firm branch of leadership. I know from speaking to Ms Chase that Mel Duchesne definitely has a stranglehold upon the position. This hold only gets tighter when she is challenged. I will say in all fairness, that Ms Jentre does seem confident that she can lay claim to the position. Let us sit back and see. There is no harm to come to us in her gaining the position - simply that we must be careful in speaking of her in public - the truth and nothing but. It shall set you free or bury you.

Mel wishes Michael to join our ranks? Odd, she is not the only one. Watch and wait. Make no pretense of bargaining or attempting to give or appoint such a position to anyone. You must realize that if there were another Harpy placed among us, that the words and influence that each of you have already come to favor will diminish? Let the position of Harpy be the carrot to dangle before Michale to ensure good behavir - that he lacked upon first coming into our city of St Louis.

I agree that we should refrain from going to the East Side, especially if we are not willing to pay the consequences. Death anyone?

As for boons, well, in my case, a blood boon given to me by Eva Jentre, they are of a personal nature. I make the announcement so that it is known and may be passed among the Harpies and those they interact with, that she is beholden to me. Do not go out of your way to anger the woman unless you find her deserving of your ire. Her ambition knows no bounds. She will die because of erro, or she will achieve some modicum of success. Reap the benefits as she does. You must remember that I cannot hold her to anything specific in regards to Raven's death - we all know that Raven was headed for demise. She owes me a boon for breaking her word in something that I deemed very important. In giving me this boon, she attempts to make up for this. We shall see. If she breaks her word again, then I have every intention of digging her hole so deep that no amount of Primogency will allow her to exit. If she keeps her word, then she shows sincerity.Watch.

Watch for Connor Munroe. Should he return, we shall perhaps see another foolish act. I wish to intercept him first, but I make no guarantees.

Be careful.

Subella du Boulle

2002-08-24T23:17:00.000-07:00

I am also inclined to aggree with Blake, Subella. You may be giving Eva too much credit. Blood Boon--Major Boon, you ask me, Blood Boon is worse. Of course, I am a Tremere and we have our ways of enforcing such boons. Not to deter from the subject at hand though, there may be no quarrel with Eva. However that does not mean we are to ignore her not-so-fantastic-social-presentations. One of the pros to being a harpy is the ability to give and take status from our contemporaries. What is the point of status if somebody, anybody for that matter can breech prestation and not suffer consequences? I'm not one to patronize, but those we favor have status, those we do not, don't have as much. Individuals with lower status do not beckon those with higher status to do their bidding, nor do they speak rudely or out of turn when in their presence, and most certainly should they not under any circumstances, try and circumvent the negative effects of their actions. That said, Eva Jentre has done all of the above, at least once, and wants to lay claim to the prestige position of Primogen for clan Toreador--A clan noted for it's etiquette and ability in Elysium? Maybe it's just me, but I have yet to see where Ms. Jentre has proven she knows how to behave and act like a Toreador who does want whats best for the clan, let alone comming along as Primogen material.

To answer your question Blake, yes, she is definately out for the position. Ms. Jentre has also informed me that Mel is the contender for Toreador Primogen. What do we currently know about Mel? It would also appear that she wants Michael to join our ranks, an apparent attempt to fill Warren Hunt's previous position, or so she said to me. However, I think it may have something to do with a personal relationship shared between her and Michael.

On too other matters. It has come to my attention that there are several cainites within the city who are uncertain what can gain them status and what can remove status. Some thing's I've been considering... it may seem petty, but keep in mind, they're just suggestions, and harpies are known for being petty if nothing else. As a side note, it would put more influence directly in our hands. Again, just suggestions.

1) Prestation debts and boons
2) Etiquette (Included but not limited to particularly witty, humorous, or effective comments and retorts)
3) Style (or lack thereof)
4) Special events or occasions (hosted or attended)
5) Special circumstances that we as the Harpies of St. Louis deem worthy of recognition. (Again, including but not limited too defense of the traditions, breeches of the traditions, strengthening of influence that assists the Camarilla as a whole, positions and titles within the city, or odd quirks of note.) Such as, Preston... Yes, he is adorable... and he's the only Toreador capable of wearing a Mullet. Kudos to him.

That's all from this end.

Seung

2002-08-24T12:50:00.000-07:00

I think you give Eva entirely too much credit, Subella. She may have aspirations to lead her clan, I dont know that for a fact, judging from her actions I dont believe she's out to get Clan Toreador out of their current state. But rather to assist herself first and her clan second. She may think she is going to gain the position of Primogen, I don't know, but one thing we need to make sure to remind her is that she is not in the position yet, and does not have the status that comes along with it. Such is the responsibilty of a harpy. I spoke with her last night, and it was enough to affirm my theory. But, as I said to her, I dont intend on interfering with her, she seems to do just fine making a mess of things for herself.

Regarding the slain Tremere, I think that should serve as a reminder that East St. Louis is not Filitov territory, and to tread lightly when thinking of venturing across the river. But the wrong has been made right, and thus my oppinion on the matter ends with that.

I was wondering as well, Seung, what was to become of Raven's childe Brock. As far as I know no one has taken up accounting for him as of yet. But then again, he was sired as by an anarch, and may just have to suffer through it. Whatever Filitov decides for him is only up to speculation at the moment.

Blake Maloy

2002-08-24T12:20:00.000-07:00

Let us begin with Eva Jentre, shall we? She's been such a topic of conversation lately that I would be incredibly remiss if I did not mention something. Eva is currently in my good graces. She does not owe me a Major Boon - it is in fact a Blood Boon. We will watch her, and, so long as she behaves herself and does not attempt to harm any among us, then we will allow her to attempt to strengthen Clan Toreador from its current abyssmal setting.

I spoke with Dr. Creed about the Gangrel. The Anarchs procured him after he slew Layla of Tremere. The Anarchs staked him, and he was given final death. Dr. Creed decided upon this death. So long as this was done either in East St Louis or with the direct permission of Arkady Filitov, then this should not be a bother. I would hate for just anyone, Primogen or higher - or anyone else that gained such lofty expectations as to become drunk with power - to believe that they had the Right of Destruction granted to them. I lament for Layla's loss. She was quite eager to please and was prepared to be a good source of information.

I advise you both to be careful when receiving information.

Eva is back in my good graces, but Seth Cruz and Dominique de Wildt certainly are not. Nothing they have done violates Tradition, but they have proven themselves quite cowardly. Again, I urge you both NOT to go off alone with them - or those they strongly associate with.

Subella du Boulle

2002-08-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

The first thing I would like to have noted, thank you to those responsible for putting me in the position I am currently in. Ms. Du Boille, I hope that I can showcase my talents in a way most pleasing. Having said that, I am not so much a dreamer as I am an actor. I will do my best to live up to the expectations set forth for me.

Some things I'd like to note:

No disrespect intended, but perhaps Raven's (bless her soul) final death is a good thing as far as safety and the masquerade is concerned. However, what is to become of Brock?

Despite the agreement made between Eva Jentre, Subella and myself, Eva is _STILL_ hamstringing herself as far as her status goes. It's one thing to breech etiquette behind closed doors when it concerns someone that you're familiar with, but it's another matter entirely to do so in public. Especially when one considers Ms. Jentre owes Subella a major boon and myself a moderate boon. I fear that until she learns proper etiquette and proper respect for those with status above and below her, Eva will remain in a position doomed for failure. To think she wants a Toreador to join our ranks, why? to make her look even worse?

Marlo Chase it appeared, was in an especially good mood last night. She went so far as to state it's odd to see all of the drama going on around her but not be a part of it. Perhaps she misses us already. Congrats on her promotion. She will serve as Seneschal well.

And one more for the road, Layla, the apprentice's last name eludes me at the moment, has apparently gotten herself into a physical fisticuff with one of the city's Gangrel. And I quote Ms. Jentre on this, "Psychotic Tremere Hating Gangrel". It's odd how she recieved the phone call is it not? All I can say is, God help her if she's starting trouble between the Tremere and Gangrel as a feeble attempt to get back at Subella and myself for quite literally, putting her in that proverbial place of hers. In any event, I shall make inquiries to Dr. Creed on the matter and see what he knows. Perhaps you should also inquire around Subella?

That's all from this end.

Seung Li

2002-08-23T09:14:00.000-07:00

Raven was a loss, but she was lost long before she went Anarch. She repeatedly angered myself and Arkady. She even tried to have me ousted from the clan. Her days, in fact, I believed to have been numbered. My concern as far as she goes, was primarily for ones such as Connor, whose desire it was to turn her around and keep her from totally going down the wron path - to not much success. She simply took his friendship as one willing to follow her - perhaps into oblivion.

Eva Jentre would not have been quite the bother to me, except, for everyone's sake, including her own, I had asked that she not venture to East St Louis and not get into any conflict with Raven. I wanted no part of such a conflict, and I felt that I would be inevitably drawn down into it. An agreement was struck, and I said that I would offer what assistance could be made. She wished to help her clan get on its feet. I saw no problem with this, and, I would like for the Toreador to be beyond the petty concerns that they have been of late.
It is quite the shame, then, that it was more important to draw pitiful Raven over to Arkady's Domain, violating the Tradition on Raven's part, but also violating it on their own. They had no right to invite an exiled Kindred into a Domain that was not theirs. They went through all of this stress - to the point of offering up a faux recruitment drive for the Anarchs in order to kill Raven.

I am supremely angry with Eva on my own part because now, I can no longer trust her. She openly lied to me on an agreement which I had hoped would lead to the continued safety of two Kindred, one with potential and one that would likely cause her own destruction.

Now, one is destroyed, and the potential the other has is minimal at best.

Clan Toreador, be careful. This one ha lofty aspirations. Do you want one such as she to lead you?

Subella du Boulle
Let this be an urgent reminder to all around - should Eva or Seth invite you out somewhere, then please be especially careful around them. The next Tradition that they violate may be one of Destruction.

2002-08-23T06:33:00.000-07:00

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you Subella. I can only hope to follow in your footsteps as well as those of Marlo, and Dr. Creed.

On to last nights business. Raven has met her final death. From what I've heard Seth Cruz, of clan Ventrue, was the one who killed her, with the help of Eva Jentre and Dominique de Wildt. hough I seriously doubt any punishment for these three, seeing Raven was exciled by the prince under threat of final death. Apparently there was some sort of setup, involving an anarch uprise, but details are still unclear as to what was involved in it. I will be sure to pass along more news as I recieve it.

Her childe Brock is now left without a sire. From what Brock told me prior to Raven's death, this isnt much of a loss at all. But it does bring up an issue I'd like to address. We have two childer without their sires, Bukowski of my clan, and now Brock of clan Gangrel. I havent been in town for too long, but is it common practice here to just up and leave your childer only weeks after embracing them? Such poor ettiquette. But from what Brock told me, even before Raven died she wasn't teaching him all that much. A Childe embracing a childe? Come on now, perhaps Prince Filitov needs to crack down harder on creation rites. I'd hate to think what two untutored childer running around could do to the safety of the masquerade. I should note here that Marlo Chase is now taking up accounting for Bukowski, but Brock has no one claiming such a thing as of yet.

If you were close to Raven, Subella, due to clan ties, Im sorry for your loss. But, from what I understand no one on the Camarilla side will be missing her much.

Now I'd like to bring up Eva Jentre yet again. From all my encounters with her, she has been rude to those with status above and below her. I really dont think she's in any position to be snide to you, or anyone for that matter. Maybe I'll have a talk with her and see just who she thinks she is.

One other thing. What the hell was going on with that Tremere last night, Layla? Running around with Evil Tupperware? How silly. And then somehow managing to get you so upset.

So, I've procrastinated and puzzled over the status adjustments because they're a little trickier for now, though Marlo is no longer a harpy, I felt it best if an ST did the management of the final "weekly" status adjustments. While the last couple weeks have been a rollercoaster ride, with all kinds of crazyness and not a lot of social play, that also makes it a little difficult to make adjustments, but I do want to give some kudos to those that put for the effort during the seige. Keep in mind, that status is also something like resources, its much easier to go from status 1 to 2, than it is to go from 4 to 5, that being said, if you didn't make the list, chances are your character was already high enough that seige time efforts weren't going to affect you that much. So onto the list.

The following recieve .5 bonus for efforts made during the war. (and non judgementally using the words "efforts" - I'm not really interested in who did what or who good, it was after all a team effort)

Preston
Zoe
Archy
Xavier
Jayson

There is not much to speak of in the news today - in regards to anyone BUT the Toreador.

Sufficed to say, there was a very long, drawn out Primogen Council. That is not totally fair to say because it was a very needed Primogen Council. Many of the members were new, including Dr. Creed. Congratulations, Dr. Creed.

Quick notes, East Side is Anarch Territoy. I hope everyone sees how much that benefits us.

Kennis Cooper has been slated for Execution. The Toreador walks quietly into that good night. The others should be happy that a bigger deal was not made about this. I hope, however cruel this sounds, that she does experience a rather painful and excruciating final death. Sorry, Bolt, but your beloved wished murder upon us all, despite anything that might come out of a fearing mouth.

Mel Duchesne made her customary, "monthly" jaunt into the arena of that which is called leadership. I have never before known of one that had such clout as to be called Primogen, yet hid herself away like a hermit - only to come out to feed or, like other predators, when her position in the chain seems thereatened. Your appearances should come more and more now, as it seems you have enemies at the gate.

Michael Dumont - praise be that you've begun to act like a good boy. Maybe there's hope for you yet. We'll keep an eye out.

Eva jentre - you are very interested in my thinking that you wish good upon your fellows. I can wish upon a star or daydream my life away. Show me. Show us.

Preston - aren't you adorable.

Zoe - I wonder if a lesson or two from an Elder means a thing. I wonder that you'd ever wish to be on my good side. You would need to be to make up for your foolishness. Vulgar argot and contempt for others that find you less than humorous do not a status-happy vampie make.

Lastly, Trog. I hope that he will take his medicine without making a face. I hope that the medicine is fitting and done with grace. If we let the Malkavians flog him at the next Court - frightenin thought - what would they lash him with?

Just a note, though I do believe I've spoken to everyone individually...I will no longer be posting to this forum or involving myself in the day-to-day rumors and status mongering, as a promotion to seneschal makes this a conflict of interest. I will however, continue to monitor this list (and who knows, maybe even interject things here and there) but its certainly not my primary function. I do believe that Dr. Creed will also be moving up within the ranks which will also exclude him from these little social engagements. Talk of replacements has occurred, and we will all be welcoming Blake and Seung to the list as soon as Subella contacts them and gives them the run-down.

As far as political discussion regarding the fate of the East Side (and Prince Raven) that's going to a council session. I'll be sure to keep everyone informed as I still see that as my sacred duty even with this new and shiney title.

A word to the wise, don't go on the East Side.

Fear Lupines? No. Fear Sabbat? No. Fear idiocy. I suppose it was my own idoicy that caused me to listen and go over that way. The more youthful members of my clan need some sort of leadership. It pains me that Prince Filitov is so often too busy with matters of sect to be able to guide and direct the more youthful members of the clan. I fear that they do not hold the Camarilla in the regard that they need to because of simple lack of direction. Raven has tossed about to me the idea of a Gangrel Primogen. I shall assume that she has mentioned that to Filitov as well, for the poor thing cannot express herself with an ounce of tact to save her life. It is a good idea, however. Responsibility would be my only concern. A whelp need not take so lofty a position - that does make me sound greedy, however, which I am not. I am not too favorable on the idea of ruling anyone to any degree.

Eva showed herself on the East Side, too. It is not that she should not have the freedom to do so, but I question her wisdom in doing so even moreso than my own. She came upon us at a very interesting time.

I must admit to being caught off guard by Raven telling me that she claimed East St Louis as her own Domain. Prince Raven? I truly wish Arkady would consider taking more of a proactive role within the clan. This could be seen as a challenge, however, and poor Raven could meet her demise.

Demise. Eva Jentre almost met hers. She fought with Connor. Apparently, she was struck most harshly. Connor lost a hand out of the deal. Connor is not the most intellectual Kindred I have ever met, but I do not see him attacking Jentre without cause. Arkady has mentioned her skills in combat - and severing a Gangrel's hand speaks of skill.

Oh....what next?

Many deserve kudos for last evening. The Sabbat seem intent on surprising the lot of us with freakish creations. I would be amazed to see what could top last evening's monstrosity, however. Apparently, the thing had attacked before, though much smaller, unless that was an entirely separate being. Jon, myself, Blake, Preston, and several others scouted the riverfront. I daresay that we were not expecting to encounter the behemoth. Those above, I would commend. There were others there, but a few sprinted away as soon as the beast came from the water, not trying to feel it out for weaknesses. I saw my death in those many features and fleshy tendrils. Luckily, it was just a reflection.

I saw Preston, who faired even less than I did, but I was happy to see him at the Elysium when we regrouped. He did well by us even in surviving. I hope the Toreador recognize that. In saying this, there was one who fell before the beast. A Toreador of a grievously disrespectful nature, who attempted to shift responsibility from herself before the fight by stating that she was just a Toreador. The Court of Parisian Toreador would have her called clanless for such a belittling statement. When I attempted to have her - Zoe - grow a backbone before any conflict might develop (a young Kindred named Layla had some sort of premonition - thank you, Layla), she merely told me to "shut the fuck up!" I was severely disappointed in her behavior, and she should gain some recognition of her place in this city's Kindred.

Dr Creed, we thank you for your assistance in the blood magicks that you perform. Without your expertise, many more of us might have already met Final Death.

Ms Chase, I congratulate you on uncompromising bravery. This can only be given secondarily in complement to your skills of leadership. They are appreciated greatly even if it may not always seem so. You are truly an asset to our Camarilla.

One last update .... word in ... Archons are on their way. We just have to hold out a few more days. A justicar or two may even make an apperance

2002-08-13T03:14:00.000-07:00

Update from the front ....

Spordiac fighting all over the place it seems. Perioa fell, as expected but we are holding out. Sabbat incursions into the city have been stoped for the most part.

Tonight we stoped a 30 foot tall ... sabbat ... building.... thingie... fuck ... I dont know what it was but it was ass ugly... fugly ..defantly fuggly. People of note for this combat scene. Jonathen for donating the moltivaes and his car to the cause. We owe you a new one man. Layla new tremere in town, suggested we use Jonathens car, and not mine .... Marlo for leading the fugly back to the ambush.
Xaiver for the nifty genshi action dispoal. Thats all I can think of for now

Securty however has been comrpised. Niminy as I discovered is sabbat. She disappeared while the teams were going out so everyone needs to be on the gaurd. She shares bonds with the following So we must be on the alert for these known members.

Finaly I have one death to report. Izzy White, primogen for the Malkavians died last night in a firestorm in the sewers. She will be missed.

More news as I get it.

Lt Vincent Creed

2002-08-11T02:43:00.000-07:00

Lets see lets see. Chain of command is as follows Arkady ... then Trog ... then Bolt. Jon is now the defacto Keeper and as such his club is the new Elyusim. Arkady expects him to be treated with the respect that postion commands. The following information is not to be given to unkown kindred. For the most part Id assume that if they have not been recongized by the Prince consider them an unknown.

The wreck is offical off limits. As per Arkady's orders. He does not want any of us traveling to well known spots.

Anyone who wishes to partake in the combat to follow are to meet at the Wax muesem about two blocks down from where the wreck is.

Jon's club is the new safe house. Anyone not wishing to be involed in combat but still inclined to venture out should go there. Once ag ain no unknown kindred is to know about this. Even if they are family. It is very important that security not be comprised so be careful when going to and leaveing the club.

We also have three confirmed sabbat in the city. They attacked and killed a clans mate of mine. If you see them alert the proper authorites. We are not to engage them unless numbers are on your side.

Other than that there is nothing else to report. Once again this information is not to be passed on to unkowns. Id safely assume that anyone not recongized already is an unknown.

Something odd is indeed going on in the park. The lupines vacated the premises in a hurry. Dr Creed, you asked why I could speak of meeting them so casually? I had a contact among them. How do you think I obtained Saigor's things? They left with a quickness, and with fear. I ask you - what could spread such fear in a pack of werewolves?

Arkady already knows of this and has for a couple of weeks. Considering that the place is still not "safe," it would be inadvisable to allow everyone this information. Additionally, as far as I know, the place is still technically off-limits.

Subella du Boulle

2002-08-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

Not that throwing people into the river is proper behavior but Jayson was just throwing this way out of porption. Now mind you it was wrong but it wasnt as big of a crime as he makes it out to be. Oh well.

Something funky is going on in the park. Im told the lupines have vaccated it. No reason yet given on why.

And Jon says his building is completed and ready. I guess his club will soon be opening up.

As long as ghouls are kept in check and pose no danger to our Masquerade, then I care not for who owns them.

That said, I believe Ms Hawkley should be informed in regards to the devil-may-care attitude that her childe maintains. She, as Seneschal, is immune to a lot of issues in regards to status. However, I would think that an unruly childe, with little regard toward others - I'm quite sure that Mr Rilux maintains a great deal more status than Bukowski, personally, could be a nuisance to Sire and Clan at the very least. No one would wish harm to the Ventrue, always a clan of strength and honor, so perhaps childer that may represent less than traditional standards should be reigned in - at least until they're taught better.

Kwon has not been recognized officially as Camarilla. This is in part due to his difficulty in expressing himself - what was the phrase I've heard several Americans speak,"Speak the language or get out!?!" (thankfully, I have a fairly good grasp of this country's Native tongue). Then there is a seeming reluctance on the part of our Prince to give him much in the way of recognition, but who can blame Filitov? If beings such as Raven come stumbling into town, then it should be no wonder at Filitov's reluctance to bring in non-sectarian new blood.

I, for one, have no problem with Jon receiving a push toward the Keeper of Elysium position. He's never demonstrated less than sensible behavior - at least in front of me - visibly. The aforementioned unruly and unwise should be reminded of the importance of Elysium as well as the severity for disturbing its sanctity with issues of violence.

Also, just an FYI, nothing too important. The ghoul I retained, known as Faust, has been transferred to Izzy White, as per the primogen's request. Wasn't my idea, so I don't want to hear any crap about passing off responsibility, in truth, I had little choice in the matter.

2002-08-06T16:51:00.000-07:00

That whole situation in the trainwreck salon made my head hurt. The funny thing is, like with the situation between Avery and Eva, probably not much of a big deal would have been made about it, if Jayson hadn't made it such a big deal with his threats of retribution and paybacks. Now, he's in a situation where he's lost face, and can't do a whole lot about it unless he wants to raise the ire of Bukowski's sire and the Seneschal, Elena Hawkley. And whether Bukowski's actions were motivated or just or just plain silly, Jayson certainly did his part to make a huge issue out of what probably would have been nothing at all. In fact, we wouldn't have even known it was Jayson that went for a swim if Jayson hadn't confessed to it. That being said, as Bukowski is an unreleased childer, the only way it can be addressed is through his sire and the Brujah in general, and out of harpy jurisdiction, at least for the time being.

Kwon, also as an independent is out of harpy jurisdiction, though certainly we can address some of the problems with others. For instance, Kwon's word being a little suspect, as he has no status. As for his place within the city and within society, I have no idea, don't have all the answers to be sure.

Another point of interest, since Mr. Dumont and Ms. Jentre went to Paris, we're back to Elysium issues, perhaps Jon of the Nosferatu has a chance, after all.

2002-08-06T06:51:00.000-07:00

Dr Creed, you seemed rather upbeat in your last post, moreso than I care to be at this point in time.

It is good to know that Bukowski caught on to this person being Tzimisce. How he did so is quite beyond me. Apparently this faux Kennis had fooled a few, at least cursorily. I commend Bukowski on his vigilance in this situation. I must condemn him, however, in his actions near the Riverfront. This has nothing to do with the fact that the incident involved one of my clanmates. I simply think he used extremely poor judgement. I would not expect a great many mortals to walk about, tossing each other into bodies of water, at least not ones so filthy. I wonder what problems could be created if these actions were observed by or reported to local authorities.

Kwon. He opens his mouth entirely too often. I have done what I can to advise him, but I believe it may take someone shutting it for him before he truly learns his lesson. I would have hoped that he learned from Bukowski, but, perhaps, he was not instructed harshly enough. No matter, if he does not listen, then I, nor others, cannot help him. One learns best through experience.

Jayson I think should have been a bit less brazen when speaking of Bukowski. He should have gone before Ms Hawkley if he was that angry with Bukowski. I do think his not-quite-veiled threats to be in extremely poor taste.

2002-08-05T02:00:00.000-07:00

The person turned out to be a Tzm. Very good of Bukowski to catch on. Although since Trogs interrogations invole him staking someone and then you domanating them Id have to wonder why that would impress you. How many captives has he lost so far anyway?

At any rate does anyone have much on Mayhem anyway. Im wondering if her darts is just her way of annoying people or if there is some real cause to worry. I went outside to search for her last night but didnt see her. But she shot Arkady with a dart so she was out there all the same. Since there seems to be a third dart Ive called Trog and asked to see the body of his latest guest.

Why was Trog out on the east side staking vampires anyway. I didnt think we had much influence or reason to be over there anyway. Does the princes domain extend into East St Louis as well? Just curious I suppose

And what is up with Kwon? I swear, the man should really just pratice the fine art of shuting the fuck up. What he does say doesnt make much sense and he seems to be daft. He just stands there and nods and says he's sorry for shit he doesnt even understand or have any clue why he should be sorry about. And attempts to educate him on the matter, or english for that fact, appear to fail. I'm surprised his information was enough to convince Trog to go out onto the East side to stake a vampire. Maybe he was leaving important details out of his story but over all... the only thing I see that the vampire in question did wrong was speak to Kwon in the first place. He's like a magnet for voilence. I can see why Buk tossed him into the mighty river.

Speaking of people tossed into rivers, why was Jayson so adement about seeing Buk punished for what he did. It was an honest mistake. I mean if he had known that was Jayson Im sure he wouldnt of thrown him in... well .... mostly sure. I dont see any reason to create a fuss over something so simple and so minor. Other than hurt pride of course, but even that has it's limits as certain Torries have shown.

My clan mate Seung wishes to become a harpy as well. She wishes to be our broad sword. The mega bitch of the group. I explained to her why we work as sublty as we do but still she has expressed a desire to pursue that postion. Thought I might bring it up for debate though

Hmmmm one last thing I suppose, Eva has left for Paris. I think she took Micheal with her and Cenyc. Im not sure.

Dr Vincent Creed

2002-08-04T20:50:00.000-07:00

I hold no sympathy for Raven, nor should any other. She chose her lot and drew it too quickly. Many in the city will be the better without her false claims to authority and leadership. The Gangrel certainly will.

Subella du Boulle

2002-08-02T15:28:00.000-07:00

And that was the end of Raven. Ah well, I think someone said a while back that we're always hardest on the ones in our own clans, and Arkady finally had enough. Bad break for the girl, she might have had some potential, but man, some of the things she said were just wak. Either entirely unbelievable, or downright suspicious.

Speaking of suspicious - went to meet Bukowski down at Starbucks tonight, he was there talking with Kennis, and everything was kind of wierd. Bukowski asked if Kennis wanted the stuff he had and they began to walk off toward an ally, though Kennis became very insistent that they do it alone...of course I follow anyway. Next thing I know, Bukowski's stuck a piece of wood in Kennis' chest and is saying that its NOT kennis. So, we call Kennis number and she picks up...definitely the thing with the stake was not Kennis...we don't know what it was. Was, past tense, the real Kennis took the head of the doppleganger as per my request. Really can't have fucked up shit like that wandering around, and I'm not too impressed with Trog's interrogation techniques or his track record with losing captives.

~Marlo

2002-08-02T01:38:00.000-07:00

Yes sorry about that Subella. He's been a problem for some time but no one has had any recent attacks so he kinda sliped our or at least my mind.

Where to begin tonight. Well, Raven seems a good starting point. Arkady layed down the law with her. It seems she had been claiming to have postions with in and with out her clan that were just not true. And as such the Prince verbally berated her infront of quite a large group of kindred. In the end he gave her a choice, die or leave. She choose exile over death and was escorted out by Trog. An intresting thing of note though. During her talk with the prince Micheal came in and headed towards the man like he had some grave news of upmost importance. And then we come to find out that he wanted to tattle on Raven for attacking him.

Now I know attacking your elders is probally bad form, but I hardly consider being slapped, even if it was closed fist, an attack. Hell Avery was stabbed till he blacked out by Eva and yet you dont see him running to the prince to tell on her. I imagine it is this kind of trival business that keeps the prince so busy. I'd rather not be seen too if people were whining to me about a gangrel raising their hand in anger. I imagine he doesnt hang around many brujah.

Sad about Raven though. It seemed like she was finally coming around. She had decided that the mortal Moonshine wasnt worth her time and left her to whatever fate Seth or Micheal have in store for her. She sited her lack of age as being a number one reason why she no longer wished to pursue the matter. Her other main point being that the woman seems to be a drunk and drugie and is only clean when acutally working.

Raymond has found an intresting fate. It seems that he will be made an example. Now he has been cleared of the charges brought against him. Well all except for attacking Scopullus, but that can be construed as a misunderstanding. However as explained to myself and Izzy he shall serve as an example and an experiment all at the same time. His fate is to be left in the sewars, his blood to be used to feed the creatures that inhabit it's depths. I'm thinking they'll force feed him to keep him alive for this punishment. When they feel he's innocent they will allow him to crawl out of the sewars.

And speaking of sewars Scopullus wishes me to spread the word. No one is to go down there with out a guide. There are some very nasty things in place to protect his family and he wishes to avoid an "accident." Fair enough. Not that I'd want to go down there with out a guide anyway.

While I'm on the topic of Scopullus he seemed to handle himself quite well. Espcally considering how Eva and Micheal seemed to be mocking him. Now I'll admit, being at what 4 foot something the man seems comical at times. However Eva and Micheal deemed fit to inform him how his illusions to keep apperances in public were works of art. He handled himself well, snubing the pair and saying that he only wished to speak to a more respected member of that clan and thus turned to speak to Kennis. I'd imagine a month ago such behavior from the Torries would have resulted in an outright argument but the man handled himself well.

At any rate that covers things for tonight. Sorry I havent be active these past few days. Lab work and all

2002-08-01T02:26:00.000-07:00

No, Ms Chase. I am not in any way offended. I happen to know that as far as standing within the Camarilla, those of my clan must make names for themselves in order to assist the clan. We cannot count upon lineage for such a thing anymore.

Raven is fast becoming a thorn in my side. She put on a pitiful display the other evening while Connor and I were involved in clan business, and she did her best to sway several in the clan that I was some sort of monster bent on ruining my own clan. Where she gets these notions, I have no idea, but she is truly a pitiful creature. She is deserving currently of neither status nor attention. She is childish and quite petty. How odd, that she seems to think such of me for being a Harpy, yet she so openly exhibits the characteristics.
