(Folsom) The Art of Diplomacy

The Daeva had received a reply from the letter to the Alder from Folsom. With that, she made arrangements to have everyone there who needed to be involved.

There was no point in wasting a Blush for other Kindred from another Domain and who knows if she needed precious Vitae later. This was the Daeva’s first time dealing with this type of situation, at least from some upper echelon people from another Domain as envoys. She may be going overboard with security preparation, at least for herself, but when dealing with their own kind, one could never be too cautious.

The meeting would be taking place in the large conference room. Uther would be a fool to think only the Prince would be there, so she wasn’t about to worry that an explanation was needed.

From Vivian’s old wardrobe, she pulled out one of her standard business suits. They were designed to carry multiple weapons. Easy to access yet held complete discretion which would be necessary that evening. Even though she told Uther to obey the laws of Elysia, that didn’t always stop someone from doing so. Nevertheless, she did feel a little remorse for not obeying these laws herself. Explicit permission to do so had been given, and the Daeva really didn’t feel that much remorse to protect her Coterie mate, even though their Prince had claws.

Vivian was packing, and the meeting was set up and Vivian was in the conference room awaiting Lina Moretti , Rebecca Simmons , and the Alessandra . For now, she didn't expect that Twist would need to come, but she would be on alert if Ale chose to do so.

The Sheriff entered, her small frame lithe and strong and featured in black pants and a turtleneck that concealed the thin layer of body armor that was provided to her once upon a time by a quick-tongued gunslinger who had owed her a debt. Her shoes were adorned in efficient black combat boots, and her hair was done up in a loose bun. Her knife was on her belt, but she at least honored the necessity of appearances for diplomacy by covering it under a light jacket. Security was her duty, and so being unarmed would not do, but if some Elder from a nearby town was going to come by, she'd show the right respect.

She was just glad it wasn't her Sire.

Ever curious of the nature of what she had been called into, the Sheriff was timely and prepared. Nodding to Vivian but not filling the air with words - after all, this was a serious occasion - she remained standing and prepared for the arrival of the Prince of Sacramento.

-2 Vitae for Vigor and Resilience. Lina is wearing her Bowie Knife and has a thin Kevlar vest concealed beneath her turtleneck. On her ankle, holstered, is a smaller combat knife. She is carrying her cellular telephone on her, as well as a pen and notepad.

A 7 foot 2 inch man stands in the door frame of the Elysium. He has not crossed the threshold. He stands and waits, not entering as to not violate the weapons rule of the Elysium. "Hello." He says in a voice that is calm, but a dark baritone. It is a thick, eastern European accent... Prague maybe? Maybe Istanbul?

Whoever meets the man as the doors sees a literal giant, full beard and long hair with several braids in it. Around his neck is a necklace with a bag in hanging on it. He has dark piercing eyes with no Irises and pale, snow white skin. His hands are gnarled and abused. In his hand he stands with a bearded axe in his hand, held out, gestured for it to be taken from him, as an offering of peace. A empty knife sheath hangs off his belt. He has no visible weapons.

It was the night of the agreed upon meeting. She wasn’t sure what help this Domain wanted, and only hoped it wasn’t some stupid bullshit.

She stood at the head of the table, Cain by her side. The Prince wore black leather pants with a silver button jacket. No weapons were visible, unless you count the Hellhound. The jacket made it near impossible to hide weapons anyways.

Dark eyes watch the door way, eager to get the meeting underway, then done.

Moretti looks up. Way up, from her perch of five foot two, as the Sheriff's eyes flicked over him. Supernatural will flowed through enhanced perceptions, but so far as she could tell, this gentleman was not hiding weapons upon him with the Touch of Shadow. Good. That meant he was showing the right respect for Her Majesty's Elysium - a fine start.

"Welcome to Sacramento. My name is Moretti, Sheriff of this Domain. I'll store that for you."

She reached out and accepted his ax, putting it away in the weapons check before returning and peering at the snow-white monster before her.

"Her Majesty awaits."

With that, she led this man to where the Prince and their night's fate awaited.

Vivian stood around the side of the table to Ale, behind the chair ready to greet the person they'd been corresponding with. When he entered, her eyes looked upward as he walked through the door. "Greetings Alder Gungreive, I trust your travels were good to you."

Motioning to Ale, she introduced the two of them. "I am Seneschal Vivian York. This is Her Majesty, Prince Antinori." Nodding toward the Gangrel.

She awaited for Lina to enter and the room to be closed.

The Giant gives Lina, the Sheriff, a polite nod of his head as he follows the Prince's office. "Yes, Thank you Sheriff." To Seneschal York, He bows his head, "Good Evening Seneschal York, everything was fine. Thank you." Uther then turns to her majesty and drops to a knee bending it before her majesty. "Prince Antinori, Thank you for accepting my request. I am honored by this." Formality seems to not be lost on the man. If he had a sword he would put it before him like a knight, but he does not.

Uther's curse is Physical, not metaphysical. Cold white skin and pure black eyes. His hands may be part of his curse, but you would have to ask him.

When the, very large, man enters, Ale watches for a moment. This looked like a guy you would want on your side, someone who could kick some serious ass without batting an eye. That was filed away for later.

Smiling, “Good evening Alder Gungreive, welcome to Sacramento. Is that how you wish to be addressed?” Greets the Savage. “Please, have a seat. I hope you didn’t have any difficulty finding the Nox and that your travel was uneventful.” She sits, watching the giant. Was he bigger than Krieg?

“How might I be able to help you?” small talk wasn’t her strongest suit.

Moretti moved in with the others, closing the door behind them as she moved to lean against the wall near the doorway. The creature before them was gigantic, a pale, black-eyed monster Elder. Polite and in control of his tiny Domain, what was it that he could require from the Court of Sacramento?

Trained eyes subtly clocked the motives and emotional state of the being before them even as supernatural senses stirred. Her Beast's trained skills of the Hunt let her glean information - even hidden information that a monster such as this might conceal with his Mask of Tranquility. What was hidden, she would uncover. How strong was this creature in the Blood?

First use of Beast's Hackles in a scene is free. 6 sux to determine Uther's Blood Potency, contested by Res + Obfuscate + Blood Potency. Lina also has 6 sux to glean his motives via Empathy, and 3 sux to be subtle about her staring.

Awaiting until the moment Ale sat down, she took her seat by the Prince. The Daeva was all smiles, wondering what this all had to do with anything. She was sure the why would be coming soon. Unless she needed to add anything or was signaled, she'd let Ale lead the discussion.

She observed that he bowed to the Prince and respected formalities. It was the little things that spoke loudly sometimes, and this was a good sign.
