Twist had come straight from the theater. Her midthigh skirt was a rich green and had a matching jacket covering a cream blouse. Her hair was pulled into a french twist and a mask stylized like the classic green man covered her upper face.
Entering the theater she gave a brief nod to Mr. Caller.

Bella came in shortly after Twist. She pulled her coat off and bowed to the Seneschal, then turned to Mr. Caller.
"Evening, Mr. Caller, sorry if I am late. Been a bit busy."
She gave Twist a smile. "Evening Seneschal, I am very glad to see you are well."

Holly walked in, hands in her pockets. "Hello," she said with a smile. "Sorry I'm a bit late."

Twist returned Bella's smile with a one of her own.

Twist entered the room and accorded the Prince a deep bow before taking her seat.
"Currently the plant is being researched by a number of different people. It seems that there were two seperate species of plants involved in the two instances- the first is a derivative of Solanales Atropa or Belladonna. The idea of turning plants into ghouls is not unheard of among the Circle of the Crone. Jason was the one to identify the plant and he mentioned that a group of acolytes in the eastern side of the country were messing around with this same plant but that they hadn't gotten such results. As the plant is in essence ghouled- it is the vitae of a kindred that it seeks, so kine should be fine around it. Bella- I know you went to talk to the Heirophant to see if he knew any more. Did he?" _________________ Twist: Striking Looks 2 (alluring), Blood Potency 2

Bella also bowed to the Prince before taking her seat.
She nodded at Twist's question. "He had a bit of information. He says it appears to be a plant that was experimented with by a group of Druids, but also that some Bron Inquisitors came in and eradicated the group back in the 1300's. So, either someone else got hold of the plant or decided to follow the same idea, or we are dealing with a very old faction of Druids that are supposed to be non-existent. However, Mr. Andrews theory of this plant being of the Bella Donna family, or Nightshade family seems correct. Heirophant Paresh said that these Druids worked with a type of Dogwood and this plant seems to be of a completly different family. Other then the same type of apetite, he does not see a similarity between the two plants. This would lead me to believe that we are not dealing with Druids. Which basicly puts us right back where we started."

Holly bit her lip, thinking. Should she tell Freddrick now, or should she wait? Were the plants to blame for the body? Why was her home so weird now? Had it always been so odd?

Twist shook her head slowly as if thinking through what she knew.
"I say no. Those responsible for the plant attacked Kindred and left the victims at well known kindred locations. The dry body was not near any largely known gathering spot for us. Also there is the fact that there was a body at all- all the victims of the plant attacks were set to flame and no body remains. Even the attack on the former Heirophant matches more closely to the plant based attacks than this one."
Twist glanced at Holly, noting her distant look.
"Holly- did you know more about the attack?" _________________ Twist: Striking Looks 2 (alluring), Blood Potency 2

Holly shook her head, clearing her thoughts. "Oh, no. Just wondering if this place was always this strange, or if it's a new thing. Still can't get used to the idea that supernatural things exist and people are just too blind to see it."

Bella shrugs. "I must agree with the Seneschal on this. It would seem we have a stupid kindred on our hands who needs to be disciplined. Nothing about this case of the drained body points to our other situation in any way that I can see."

Bella thought about it, taking her time to really go through the choices.
Finally, she spoke up. "I would have to say Asa Clarke, Neil Coban, or Jane Scotts. Erika Brady might be a good choice as well, but all she seems interested in doing is arguing with everyone and being right. We are not looking to always be right here, we are looking to think through and resolve problems. Other then those three, I do not see any other canidates."

Twist listened to Bella's suggestions of applicants and then nodded in agreement.
"I would also suggest Asa. I am more confident in Erika's abilities. While I would agree that she is a bit head strong at times, I think she is confident in her abilities and thoughts and right now confident personalities are good to have in a council such as ours. Mrs. Scotts," Twist hesitated, thinking about the woman, "- she has expressed a desiree to be of use to the city. Another good trait. I would possibly add Jason to the list of nominees. He has been more than willing to lend his aid to the city in its time of need despite the danger it presented."
Twist paused again and steepled her fingers together as she thought.
"On a seperate note...do we want to use this opportunity to set a trap for our univited city guests? All indicators are that they are new to the city- maybe we could announce a person as primogen in hopes that they are approached by one of those 'guests'? Of course we would be lying in wait...thoughts?" _________________ Twist: Striking Looks 2 (alluring), Blood Potency 2

Bella nods at Twist's words.
"I think that might be a good idea, but how do we know they will take the bait?"

Twist gave a minute shrugg.
"There is one of the iffy parts. You mentioned that the VII, if that is who this is, approach those of strength-- we could try that approach and appoint those we have just suggested. Kindred who have shown mettle enough to be Primogen. Mayhap our 'guests' will see the same and thus approach them.
Or we could do the exact opposite and say that a kindred who is obviously not suitable for the position has now been granted it. They may then attack as they did Lucky, seeing them as a weak link in the command structure of the city.
You have had more dealing than I with them. Which would they bite for? Or would they bite at all?" _________________ Twist: Striking Looks 2 (alluring), Blood Potency 2

Bella thinks for a long moment, going over everything that happened in Toronto in her mind.
"Well, back in Toronto they first went for total chaos, and they did a good job too. The higher-ups were so busy pointing fingers that the neonates didn't know which way to go. Then, they came to some of us, mostly the Hounds, including myself, and offered a position within their ranks. I believe all of us declined. Then, they went for the big guns and tried to take out the Prince. Almost succeeded too."
She sighs, an old habit from being with Jason for so long. Now that he was close by again, she was starting to feel the side effects of the blood bond strengthen.
"It is hard to say what stage they are in. I think it is safe to assume that they have taken out those they felt to be weak. Lucky and Emma. They may start trying to recruit the strong now. But, keep in mind, these may not be the same type of group with the same tactics, or even VII at all. This may backfire horribly in our faces."

Bella shrugged.
Male huh? Guess there is only so much estrigen the Prince can take.
Clearing her throat, she began again.
"Asa Clarke, Jason Andrews, Neil Coban, Nicolo Giovanni Rossi, Mars Delven. Those are the only fine I can think of that might be capable of the job."

Holly nodded. "Jason seems like a good choice. Seems to know a lot and be able to keep his cool pretty well."

*Nicolo? Is she serious?! As Primogen?* Twist refrained from shooting Bella a very bewildered look. She knew that Bella was a strong Sanctum member but to think that he was suitable for the council. Well- each to their own. Besides it wasn't like she had one to replace his nomination with.
"I agree. Will those five suffice for you?" She looked to the prince. _________________ Twist: Striking Looks 2 (alluring), Blood Potency 2
