In New York City? *Seeming a bit confused* That's the Sabbat, is there something of larger note that we should take head to or is this just usual business with them?

"Seems to me like its a bit out of our way to deal with, but maybe the local cam would like to get their hands on a breach like that. Frankly im not at all thrilled with the Sabbat of NYC, but i have much bigger fish to fry here... or worms... either way, it is not my main concearn today"

*Seeming a bit more upset* You know, with the bullshit these Werewolves has expected us to clean up, maybe a bit of puppy hunting might just get rid of there entire bag of feces all together... Wyrm included.

*Taking a moment to contemplate*

Well, maybe we should have him address this at the next gathering or call an impromptu town hall meeting of sorts to see if this situation is anything we need to worry about.

*She looks up.* I'm right here you know.

I'm sorry about the whole shooting at 'your gang member'. William Johns is a fellow kinsman, a fellow CLAN member of mine, a fellow Toreador. Through telepathy he was begging me to put him out of his misery. Apparently this was some kind of trick they were using or something. Those power plant 'people' have some weird powers to turn us on each other and some can even turn our powers off entirely. I'm glad more people weren't affected.

We've already talked this out and he understands the situation and even thanked me. If it wasn't for me taking a hit for him, he would have been ash apparently. So really you should be thanking me instead of attacking me, because he would be dead if it wasn't for me.

As for the puppies. We have a treaty with some of the Werewolves in the area. We agree not to fuck with them and they agree not to fuck with us. They have helped us in the past against this wyrm and in other matters.

I am all for hunting down these power plant son of a bitches though... *She giggles to herself over the joke.* They seem like puppies gone into a blender and come out even more evil.

The NYC Sabbat has made attempts on my life before. We were supposed to have a peaceful meeting back a while. That didn't last very long. They did the same suicide bomber stuff that you, Mr. Aaron did to the Pentax wyrm. They blew themselves up, taking everything with them and then were fine. Fortunately this attack was made when Pentax attacked us. So it was not aimed at our general direction. Just on our property.

As for the media, yeah someone should definately cover that up. Do you know where that paper is located? I can speak to the Cam to get it covered up, assuming it's not a local paper, of which I'll do it myself.

*She turns to Aaron cross.* Prestige system? We're not Cam. I wasn't aware we had such a system. One day I would like be to handed the Baron handbook, on all my responsibilities, Baron powers, etc. Maybe I could get me a copy of the manual. There are a lot of documents I need copies of. Perhaps I could speak to the previous Baron about it, but I'm sure he has more important matters to tend to as always.

You can lay down your arms whenever you wish Mr. Cross. I've been promoting peace in the area for a long time.

As for NYC Sabbat, we try not to bother each other. It's the more local Sabbat that have been eying our territory I'm more concerned about.

The plan is a peaceful one. We have made our presence clear. Make allies, don't rock the boat too much to piss the wrong people off. Improve the arts in the area.

Besides that I'm open to suggestions, especially ones strengthening our borders and promoting peace. Without stepping on the wrong toes.

I'll take a shot of Tequila as well. I don't know who this St. Patrick is or what he did but this drink reminds me of my blacksmithing days.

*Raises an eyebrow to Alura and clears his throat*

Now I'm definitely not saying the puppies aren't stupid, and with keeping that in mind, don't you think it would be politically wise for them to get us to help them if the Wyrm is their problem in the first place as well as follows in their furry wake? If they "help" us with OUR Wyrm problem, they've just collected political capital on us... FOR THEIR OWN PROBLEM!

I mean no disrespect Baroness, but I personally believe this treaty you have with them is a self fabricated ploy by them to not have us reclaim more of our territory back.

::As if he'd been there the whole time, and no one noticed him, Mac is sitting in a chair near Aaron::

"Ehhem, uhhh Aaron? Rockland has no rep system. The old baron no like it cause it too much like cam status.

I like Pretty Baroness, and Willie say he not mad at her.

I think treaty w/ fuzzy tree hugging werewolves is bullshit. Remember Aaron when we try dat before and we destroy ginat spider and save life of tree hugger and level the chemical treatment plant Magadon? Or whatever in springfield??

And then 3 months later the hippy fuzzies come snatch me into Umbra?

Yeah dont trust anything that has fur unless its a gangrel...

In other news Baroness, you make speech for knights please. It would be appreciated that all whom were Loaned Items from our armory return them within this fortnight, or i come looking for them during daytime and take them back w/ force.

Sound good?

"i should like to have seen what would have become of your city had i layed down my arms one second before i was ready...."

"yeah Mac, i remember jumping in after you...that was a hell of a ride....
and ill do it all again for you.... brother..."

"peace is good on paper, sadly not many other places...dont get me wrong, if theres a new way...ill be the first in line......it better work this time"

"in short; pice sells...but whose buying??"

:::gazes at the barones, then at Marcus, then at Mac, finally he puts his feet up, and throws himself back into his chair:::

Peace does sell. Unfortunately it isn't always permanent. However if it saves the lives of us and can get us to reconcile our differences at least for a little while, perhaps there is hope for us all.

Nothing is permanent without proper maintenance and upkeep. So just because there is peace, doesn't mean I don't carry a bow on my back.

As for the puppies. I'd rather not start a war with them. They did help us with the Pentax wyrm because it is a common enemy. Of course it makes sense. It was our problem too.

I'm not exactly sure what you want to collect from them but currently the puppies know their boundaries and we know ours.

I don't mind talking to them and getting a formal treaty. But I'm not sure what else you want as a 'reward' for defeating the Pentax wyrm, unless I am misunderstanding you.

Currently they are holding the area from Pentax moving in, so personally I'd rather not start any wars or fights with them. One less group we're fighting with for the time being. Time is always on our side.

We killed the Pentax wyrm without their assistance in battle, which they had previously offered. Therefore they know our prowess as they couldn't deal with the problem by themselves and we handled it in a night.

If you were trying to move them from the area, if that was possible the old man and his pups would have done so by now.

*She orders a pink martini from the barkeep.*

So unless I'm misunderstanding you, what do you want with the puppies exactly?

*She turns towards Mac not making eye contact.*

I believe that speech was already made, I'm sure if you ask nicely, they will give you boys your toys back.

*She goes back to nursing her martini.*

If it wasn't for peace and treaties I don't think anarchs would be a sect. We'd still be at war with the Cam, and the Sabbat.

No one likes dying, that is one trait all species share, and that one trait gives peace a chance.

Fortunately right now everything is calm. Something I haven't had in a long time. And personally I hope tonight lasts forever, because I know tomorrow the sun is going to rise again and someone else is going to come after us. So take a deep breath, take a sigh of relief, and enjoy yourself while the peace lasts.

You'd be surprised how much can be solved with just a simple conversation...

*She blinks and looks up from her martini questionably at Mac.* What are you doing up during the day time?

Besides if you want more territory, take the power plant before they have time to recover. That would be much more useful to the city than some more forest.

::Ulrich strides in proudly:: “Hey Aaron, what’s going on?, Mack good to see you.” ::Turns to the barkeep and orders his usual. Ulrich takes a seat next to Aaron:: “Billy, good to see you pulled through alive. Marcus, I have some private business I’d like to continue our conversation on when you have a chance. Alura, I have a great deal to say to you, Sandra caught me up on the conversation on my ride over here:

As far as taking over the power plant, I say no, we could ghoul the current employees who know how to operate the nuclear power plant which is capable of destroying the entire county and making it uninhabitable for the next 100 years, or we could give the power plant to the Giovanni family as a sign of friendship and allow them to take care of the staffing issues.

As far as you attacking William Johns, your defense of trying to kill him is that you thought he wanted to be put out of his misery? Even if that was true, you don’t think that there could have been a better time and place to do such a thing. This seems to me a very poor judgment call, Baroness.

On top of your poor judgment call you want us and him to thank you for putting his life at risk because you tried to kill him? He would have been fine if he hadn’t taken the damage from your arrows. It seems to me that you need to make some reparations to William if you want the continued support of the Knights of Rockland in your position as Baroness.

Yes in the fight, one mortal who was already on death row died. So really for this, you want to equate us with the sabbat? I will not begin getting into the moral debate of what in the end saved the entire county from a problem you have continuously put to the side in your time as a baroness. I will simply say that we killed a monster, a beast. This is more akin to killing a wolf that is eating your cattle than attempting to destroy a large number of sentient human beings or even vampires as the case may be.

As far as peace instead of war, you need to realize that peace is impossible to achieve in this world. To not prepare for war when you are surrounded by it is foolish.

I don’t think setting up diplomatic envoys will work. Instead of talking I think we need action. I tire of this treaty which only the anarchs and the cam maintain. Why don’t we punish those who break the treaty, fortify our stronghold and make the treaty have some real meaning. Peace is not natural and most be enforced through displays of power.

We need a concrete plan of attack to deal with their lack of adherence to our peaceful treaty. We need to make it clear that violating the peace has violent consequences that they wish to avoid. Show us some clear thinking and strong leadership plans Baroness. Show all of us and our enemies and our friends what an impressive baroness you are.

::Ulrich interlaces his fingers behind his head, sighs with relief and exhaustion and leans back waiting for the heated debates he loves so much to begin::

*Stays quiet for most of Mr. Bardonia's comments until bringing up private business.*

Absolutely. When we find the time, I'd love to. As for a Nuclear Waste Land.... Why exactly would my family have an interest for acquiring said responsibilities for looking over a patch of land that glows a faint green during the night time? *Raising an eyebrow in confusion*

My arrows did minor damage at best. The fire, radioactive waste, and werewolf claws, wrecked him. I may have scraped him once or twice, but I took two claws from the evil puppy for him, which wrecked me in full plate mail, pretty badly. But you wouldn't know that because you were too busy hiding behind a human shield. The human which you had brought into certain death, whom died needlessly. Yes we killed the monster, but we never needed to sacrifice the human.

I'm all for taking the power plant from them and putting someone we trust in charge. We certainly don't need a melt down on our hands.

However, you do want to start a war with the cam correct? It will kill us all. How many Tremeres do we have in the area? How many Assamites?

My last count is 0.

The nearby Cam areas have literally hundreds of vampires, some far more powerful than you or I, with packs of both Tremeres and Assamites. Currently the Tremere and Assamites are fighting each other instead of us, and personally I'd like to keep it that way.

At the last major gathering William Johns and I both attended, he could tell you, we had 20 Anarchs to over 100 Camerillians.

What is the point of your war anyway, besides mass suicide? To piss of another bees nest? The Cam already know our presence, they have friendly relations with us. In the mean time they dislike all the other anarchs in the area.

I am all for standing behind other Anarchs as we did previously. I am all for standing up for the cause. But I am not for starting another unnecessary war, to cause more bloodshed, to cause more violence and more senseless death. For what purpose? To start another war to show them we're not a force to be reckoned with? We did that already, that's textbook.

The Camerillian in the area have been helping us against the power plant, covering up issues and giving us information. Why would we start with them over this?

We had a 'peaceful' meeting with the Sabbat. The Sabbat attacked us, the Camerillian helped us. Who are more our enemies? Don't you think fighting on one front will leave us vulnerable to another? I'm sure the Sabbat would be happy to kick us while we're down and diablorize the dead.

As far as I understand it, a lot of the lot of the Knights reign from Springfield. They have been declaring praxis and piss on the cam all the time. If you want to start a war with the Cam. Head over to Springfield and attack with them or lead them. They seem eager to fight.

If I no longer have your support that is fine. It's interesting how quickly you change your side and so quickly while just a few months ago you publicly said you were backing me, and yet I've done nothing to cause this, isn't that interesting. You knew my position from the start, and you knew just how I'd respond. I said from the beginning I was trying to create new treaties and peaceful relations, now you just want to break the old ones?

We just weakened one enemy, let us make a new one? Somehow this doesn't seem sound tactically. I promised I would strengthen our security and defenses, not weaken them. Think of all the mistakes that have been made in war, too many enemies at the same time. Germany was doing fine until the U.S. got involved. Of course you're going to respond with Germany's mistake was attacking Soviet Russia without proper information, but without D day, we would all be speaking German.

Besides, wouldn't a war with the Camerillian be against the ex baron? If half of the rumors about him that are floating around are true, they don't even need a glimmer of excuse to come into our territory to come in, kill him and wipe us all out? After all, wasn't he one of the original founders of the Anarch sect? I think making an action against the Cam, would make them come after the ex baron. And that would be an action against the ex baron himself. Curious, as I would assume he was the one who brought you out of consciousness. Ignoring the whole humanity issue which I do suggest you find some more of before the beast consumes you, I am truly curious, do tell. What is this vendetta really about? I'm really interested to know.

::Ulrich allows Allura rave on while he chuckles, when she is done speaking, he speaks really sarcastically slow::

Wow, you truly didn't actually comprehend a word that I said. I'm not going to waste everyone's time repeating myself, perhaps you should ask someone capable of listening what I actually said. The cam is one of the factions I don't think we need to war with.

As far as the murderous creature who died to save your life, I don't need to reiterate my points, I'll only say, don't complain about solutions to problems you can't fix without help.

As far as not supporting you, I never said the Knights of Rockland didn't support you, yet. If you would like to continue making unwarranted physical and now verbal attacks upon us that will change, but I merely asked that you make some reparations to William Johns for attacking him. You took this on a whole new level and never even addressed a single real issue I brought up. You are showing signs of stress and weakness Allura. Fix them before they reflect poorly on the rest of us.

Well if I'm misunderstanding you perhaps you should speak straight instead of with that silver tongue of yours.

William Johns and I have already discussed it. You needn't be so concerned.
