And once again ....
Anton's phone rang.

And the regular preamble began.

Ring. Click. Ring.

"Yes?"

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

The Romanian flowed from her tongue, as it always did when she spoke to him privately.

"Good evening, Father."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Good evening, Mihaela."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

The response, for a moment, was a smile.

"I called to inform you, if you were unaware, that at least one member of the Nosferatu within the city... is not what he seems to be."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Who and how?"

The answer was just.. short.

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

There was no pause.

"The King in Yellow. He is not Nosferatu. I was not aware if you had enough interaction with him to know this."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Correct, the King is of the Kiasyd bloodline and filled the role that Alexi now fills for several centuries before he received his embrace and later left for the New Country."

She smiled.

"And here I almost got excited about telling you something you maybe didn't already know."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"There are many things that you should continue to discover of your own ability. The experience of gaining such knowledge values it much higher."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"It was, in truth, a bit of a fluke that I learned this in the first place. But being Seneschal and all, it was something I felt you would need to know."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"You thought to look past his physical mask, yes?"

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"Not that alone. It wouldn't have occurred to me to do so until the warding against the fair folk made him more interesting."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Hm. He must have let his guard down at an inopportune moment, if such an obvious reaction was made."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

She shook her head.

"No. He was asked to come and speak with Scion's ghouls at the house I am currently using to babysit them. It called to me when he came near, which wardings needed to be taken down for him to enter."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Caution should be spent around him. He has consumed the soul of another quite recently. While it was a puppet, it still possessed a soul."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"Well, that's just awkward."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Yes, and the resulting disappearance of the false-Damek will be explained shortly through less obvious avenues."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"Anything that I should be warned about?"

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Simply do not be truly concerned when drains of the domain vanish entirely. Otherwise, no."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"I see. Does this drain have a name?"

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Each of them has one, save one that has two it seems. Dalia Ramirez has proven to be both absent and incompetant in addition to drawing Alexander's attention away from matters that have relevance. Tatiyana, or Cami, shows on such a rare occurence, yet pretends that she owns the domain in addition to some oddity of her aura. Alixandra shares the same oddity of personality as Tatiyana in her superiority complex while showing even less frequently. And whatever name the too-pretty Gangrel with the Panther -- not Grace, the other one -- seems to linger yet only detract from domain resources. The Sabbat to the south require something to sate their appetites, lest they launch a true attack against the domain that I cannot simply talk them out of. These drains should sate their appetite nicely."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"Oh. No one important, then. Good to know."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Not at all."

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

"The idiot Brujah and even more idiotic Gangrel are coming close to putting this city in danger. You should be aware that they wish to traipse around Miami looking for Damek. They want to kill him, but they also wish to try and force him to put them upon the Path of Metamorphosis as well. I'm currently reminding them that they are, in fact, idiotic."
