    In the summertime, the city never truly sleeps.

    Above in the Box Populi, a sluggish stream of energised Kine pine away in the midnight hours. Their blood pumps in their veins; their circadian rhythm is peaked and the human prey is curiously, dangerously, alert. The energy of the day lingers long into the enfeebled night. It is kind of thrilling.

    The Elysium by contrast, is quiet. Caught out by a paucity of time, the lords of the night can only scramble for the hunt in the increasingly limited hours of darkness. This does not mean Elysium is empty.

    Tonight Kindred must take counsel with one another.

    Twist had arrived early with the intent to kill some time playing upstairs. But after drifting through the crowds and finding nothing of interest to occupy her attention, she found herself stepping into the quiet of Elysium, the off hours apparent with the echoes of her heels.

    Heading towards the Prince's office, she reviewed the issue that Krieg and she had stumbled into.

    A kindred fighting ghouled dogs wasn't a big deal, but in speaking to him he had revealed the matter of Saul. A kindred who had set himself up a small domain to the north east of Sacramento. He had done his research, or had it done for him by a supposed former Seneschal, he knew the limits of Sacramento's territory. He was careful not to claim any of it and warned his court away.

    But he was still close. The question was, was he too close for comfort? Or would he be a good buffer for the city? Ultimately that would be Alessandra's call to make.

    The Acolyte rubbed his bald head in thought. The matter of their new "neighbor" was an unexpected discovery. He chuckled at the memory of that night. He lied right to the False Prince's face, and as he believed, he got away with it. He had seemed to make a good first impression as an eager-to-please newcomer.

    Oh Goddess, thank you for lending your voice to my throat.

    His mind turned over the possibilities. Certainly there was the possibility this upstart may get ideas. Yet, on the other side of the coin, there was as much use for him as a tool, instead of a pile of ash.

    An ambassador... the inspiration surprised him. That was an opportunity. A nearly forgotten sensation of excitement invigorated him. He could propose this to Alessandra and earn his privilege to The Rack.

    His roaming contemplation brought him into Elysium. Absentmindedly he walked, turning the corner, her spotted the diminutive Daeva, Twist, not too far away. His eyes went wide with surprise. Though, she had no Beast exposed, she was among the oldest - if not the oldest - remaining member of the Domain.

    "Pardon my meandering, I did not anticipate to run into you, in the nearly literal sense."
    He gestured to the ceiling.

    Mable walked into Elysium with the recent encounters still fresh in her mind. What would they do? Make allies? or enemies? Either way she felt bad about giving a false name. And honestly she couldn't quite remember the name she gave. Was it Peggy Sue? Mary Lou? Mary Sue? Damn, she was always bad with names.

    She was still contemplating this when she saw the giant talking with Twist.

    "Howdy, folks." Mable offered a greeting in a sweet voice.

    In the quiet of off-hours Elysium, it wasn't hard to feel the arrival of others.

    Restraining her own Beast, the urge to kill and maim and despoil, she smiled as first Krieg and then Mable appeared.

    "Good evening. And no pardons required. I was lost in thought myself. I was hoping to catch the Prince so that she could be appraised of the other evening's events. It seems I am not the only one with this idea in mind," she ended with a small laugh in her voice.

    First thing you will notice about Ale is the abundance of her tattoos. They go from her face all the way to her feet, and not much is left bare. The second thing? Her strong Italian accent.

    Paperwork. It seemed to be a never ending treat each evening. Between keeping up her reputation with the criminal underworld of the city and running the Domain, it was always there.

    But it was the voices outside her open door that brought her eyes up from the desk. She liked keeping the door open, hoping Kindred would feel more comfortable approaching her.

    Standing and pushing herself away from the desk, she walks towards the door.

    Tonight the Savage was very casual and colorful in a bright green tank top with her long hair up in a loose ponytail. Black leather pants completed the look with steel toed knee-high boots.

    There was only one Beast her own could feel, and it growled its displeasure in her ear. Seeing that it belonged to Mable made it a tad bit more manageable, but it still wanted to repaint the walls with her Priscus’s blood. But she still nods to the other Savage.

    A smile appears and a bow of her head as she saw Twist.

    Krieg was hard to miss, and he got a nod.

    “Seems there’s a party going on.” Her tone casual.

    "Good evening, Prince. I hope we didn't interrupt you?" Mable said cheerfully. Mable battle her beast as she spoke. Beast wanted blood, Mable could hear the mantra in her head to kill kill kill. To squash the feeling and noise in her head she smiled harder and brighter.

    "Thank you kindly, Twist," he replied warmly. The voice of Mable Wood forced his tongue to still. Powerful blood hidden within a wholesome girl-next-door body. "Oh, hello Mable." He managed to eek out.

    The Prince's arrival was still a terrifying experience. The apex predator will always instill a fearsome sensation, regardless of how often he met with her. "A party, Your Grace?" he played at good will. "If only that was the case."

    He assessed his surroundings, finding himself to be the only male. The fantasy of being surrounded by beautiful women was partly satisfied. The memory of a female Daeva remarking on a similar situation came to mind - It's not your harem, you're their boy-toy.

    "We have some news worth sharing."

    Alessandra’s beast was a force but Twist held her own in check, sinking into a brief but nonetheless deep curtsy with a murmured, ”Your grace.”

    Twist nods along as Krieg speaks. ”If you have a moment, we would like to update you on the matter we discovered the other night.”

    Twist glanced around as she waited for Alessandra’s response, curious if the last of their group @Takeda would appear as well.

    Was not bowing or showing some form of respect the new norm?

    They never would have pulled this with Asa. Was this a test? Were the Kindred in the Domain testing how far they could push her before she snapped? Cause they were getting close.

    Eyes close and she appears to take a deep breath. Though that was possible cause her heart didn’t beat, but the gesture was there. She was calming herself.

    Dark eyes open and look at Mable, her Priscus and family. And remain for a few extra seconds before shifting to Krieg. They remained for a few extra seconds as well.

    This was getting old. Fast.

    Finally she looks to Twist and a smile finally appears.

    She addresses Twist, “Of course, any excuse to get away from paperwork.” The smile turns into a smirk.

    She gestures to the office, “Please, come in and have a seat.” Eyes snap back to the other two, they were invited as well.
