Happenings

Daniella Sage and Eliot Dawn

• ^[3]A Conversation is had between the two Mekhet, one of Quality and one of Science. The kindred have a rather extensive discussion of many different topics including but not limited to, The Occult, Bloodlines, The First Estate, Teaching, Regency and Tenancy as well as several other topics.

• 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

Jennifer Hazelton and Conner Greyson

• ^[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

• Priscus Greyson expresses concern or perhaps interest in the fact that the new mekhet arrivals seem to be avoiding him. And then, as if someone was speaking of the Devil, Eliot Dawn and is presented to the Priscus by Daniella Sage

Josephine Powell and Sidor Grigoriev

• ^[5]The Whip and Priscus of Haunts remain on the perephiry as they discuss the change in scenery and the newly arrived haunt, Eugene Victor Betts.

Ariana Donovan, Chase Ankers and Ricardo Rodriguez

• ^[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.

Jennifer Hazelton, Daniella Sage, Eliot Dawn and Conner Greyson

^[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.

Emma French and Jonathan Mclean

^[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.
