- Eliot Dawn inquires about where he may learn the Gangrel Discipline of Protean. Madam Sage is quick to inform him of the clan laws regarding the teaching of signature disciplines.
- “Family secrets and disciplines are closely guarded, and many have forbidden the teaching of them to anyone outside their family. I am not sure what the Gangrel stance is on sharing them, that would be a question to ask of their Priscus,” - Daniella Sage
- [4] The Reeve and the Notery begin there conversation with an exchange of pleasentries. Discussing the mood and attitude of the Kindred in the different environment.
- Reeve Greyson pays a compliment to Notery Hazelton in regard to the success that she and her coterie mate, Ricardo Rodriguez, have had saying,
- "A Different environment, recent meetings bring change, look at you and your counterpart for example. A Notary and Soldier of the Invictus, not to mention landholders in a Regency. You should be very proud of yourselves." - Conner Greyson
- The two kindred of Quality then discuss Notery Hazelton's future goals. With this discussion Jennifer returns the complement with one of her own. The two then discuss the formation of Madam Donovan's Etiquite Guild.
- "I expect that you and Regent Donovan will be the stars that the others hang their dreams upon." - Jennifer Hazelton

- [6]The conversation between these thress lords begin with a introduction and a discussion of the recent Ventrue Meeting. Chase Ankers asked if Kaiden Kessom has left the domain, to which Ricardo Rodriguez responds,
- "Mr. Kesom made the mistake of being quite disrespectful at our family meeting. As a result, he was asked to leave the domain. He did and is working on a couple of letters of apology." - Ricardo Rodriguez
- It is shortly there after that the group is joined by Eugene Victor Betts. After Ricardo makes the proper introductions the group moves on to discussing why the gathering is being held at a strip club. Seems to the be the topic of the night. Harpy Donovan gives a very informative explination as to the Elysia in the city and the recent events at the Avalon[7].
- “Normally we gather at the underground at the Avalon. However, recently there was a significant disturbance outside the club and it was best to gather at Club Ember for this evening. We needed a central location where we could speak freely from Kine where there was room for us to gather.” - Ariana Donovan
- The Group continues there discussion moving on to covenant affiliations and what those covenant represent. The conversation moves to how the city is lead and the Covenant's standings within the Domain. After some coaching from Madam Donovan, Ricardo Rodriguez takes Eugene Victor Betts to meet his majesty, Alder Prince Asa Clarke.
[8]This conversation is held between Priscus Conner Greyson, Baliff Daniella Sage, Notory Jennifer Hazelton and a newcomer to the domain Eliot Dawn
Eliot Dawn is a Mekhet of the Ordo Dracul and the intellegent Baliff felt it wise for the new Shadow to be Introduced to his Priscus.
After a monologue Eliot Dawn gets to his point asking about several things, including but not limited to learning the specialty disciplines of the Other Clans, particularly Protean. Eliot also asks how one would earn tenancy in Florin.
Conner's responses to this are short and educational...
- "It is against Clan Law to teach the Sight to a member of another clan, without my express permission. I know that the Ventrue, Gangrel and the Nosferatu have the same law for their signature abilities."
- "As far as tenancy and feeding rites are concerned I will tell you this. I am the Reeve, I have three deputies. If you would like the benefit of either tenancy or feeding rites in my domain it would be best for you to prove yourself to them."
After Eliot is provided with the names of the deputies so he might prove himself the conversation comes to a close.
[9] This conversation mostly focuses on the orientation of new arrivals and the exchanging of contact information.
[10]Alice and Martha proceed to bring his majesty up to speed on several things within the domain. Including the influx of newly arrived Gangrel and the falling out between the two women.
Asa insists that the two women air there grevances and then kiss and make up, literally. "Very well, kiss and make up," Said Asa Clarke. The two women proceeded to express there apologies and sealed it with a kiss. With that out of the way Asa Clarke and his Herald proceed to begin acknowledging Various new arrivals.

After discussing Tallahassi and the Laws of the Domain, Prince Asa Clarke, Recommended to Dimitri that he speak with his Priscus, Ariana Donovan. Once he had dones so and he was ready to commit to the domain Dimitri can petition for acknowledgement again.
[13]Allison Black presents herself to His Grace for acknowledgement. Allison is acknowledged and Prince Clarke invites her to meet with him later discuss her interest in the American Red Cross.
[14] Max and Tracy discuss several things, Starting with Max's history in the domain. Tracy's recent adventures in dealing with the bomb threat, and lastly Covenant affiliations. Tracy asks Max to show her around, to which he accepts and the two part with good company. We shall see what the future brings between these too.
[15]John and Emma begin a very amicable discussion about Emma's work and political affiliations. John invites Emma out and then the two discuss Emma's Archeological work in relation to the Danse Macabre. Emma states:
- "When I was younger, we were more tribal. If I were looking at kindred mixing from a purely social point of view I would say it is akin to when mortals started inter-racial relations. It is progress and growth which is good as far as I'm concerned. We can learn so much from each other if some would let go of their greed and need for power."
John asks Emma about her future asperations and if she has thought to join the Ordo Dracul or the Carthian Movement. Emma replies that she has not thought about joining any covenant. John offers to introduce her to some of the cities Heriarch including Herald Martha Villiers.
