Prince Devin: does everyone here know what a 'short bus' is? i'm sure everyone here is familiar with a regular school bus, that's the bus that takes all of the "normal" kids to school. well this is a smaller, shorter version of a regular bus. hence the name "short bus". well i have concluded, that most of the Tremere we have in this city, are "short bus" kids. let's explain why. well, first of all, we've got this knyt-kid. fell out of the common sense tree and remarkably missed every single branch on the way down. he goes and give some of his blood to 3 crackhead mortals. so i tell him, "congratulations, you now have ghouls. i want you to take extra special care of them. don't let them disappear". well, one second i hear that they are dead and the next i hear that they are still being watched. here's the funny part: one tremere asks me what i want done with them after the kindred blood is out of their system. listen closely honey, i'm only saying this once. NOTHING!!!! THOSE DOPE-FIENDS ARE NOW KNYT'S PROBLEM! THEY ARE HIS GHOULS! that's my little punishment for him, and like i said before knyt, they are not to 'disappear'. they are not to be killed. they are not to be dead in anyway. if they o.d. on drugs, i beat the shit out of you. if they step out in front of a bus, i beat the shit out of you. if they get cancer, aids, or pneumonia and die, i beat the shit out of you. i don't think i can make it any clearer than that. there were also alot of elysium breeches. ares i expect you to take care of those accordingly. and finally because i can, i award kara with the status of 'cherished'. of one more thing. once again, because i can, i would like to formally announce that Shandel of clan malkavian is my new senechal. that is all.
Gabriel St.John: Devin, I respect you as Prince, and I respect you as a fellow Kindred. Knyt is a bit overzealous, yes, and he is being taken care of. Rebecca's a little shaky with guns- she too is being taken care of. This is a Clan matter now, so let the Clan deal with it. Secondly, you are right, the three ghouls are Knyt's problem, they're also my problem. They are alive and well and being watched by us. And, being our ghouls, none of you need to know any more than that.
PD: YYYEESSS! YOU ARE CORRECT SIR! the stupid tremere are your problem, but if they continue their moronic antics they become our problem. and if you don't deal with it, i will. i am far past the point of being pissed. 2 months in a row now, one of your people jeopardized the safety of this city. the first time of course being the idiot who tried to piss off the chups on at least 2 different occasions. and then of course there's what happened the other night. a simple phone call to the police would have taken care of everything, but no, that never occurred to your clanmates. GS.J: I'm getting a little sick and fucking tired of hearing the Elders bitching about how dangerous these three little crackheads are, about how they're a "threat to our survival". Um, in case you haven't noticed, there's several hundred little telepathic, flying kindred that we know nothing about running around the city spying on us. THAT'S ABIT MORE OF A THREAT TO OUR SURVIVAL THAN THREE CRACKHEADS WITH A LITTLE VITAE IN THEIR SYSTEM!!!!
Harpy Ed Malone: Hmmm.. sorry that I missed all the fun (and if you believe that...). Seriously, before I heard about this, I had been hearing rumours about the Tremere possibly being sent out to deal with a "problem" (probably the Chupacabra, before we knew so much about them, heh.). Honestly, if I had to lay odds on our current crop of wizards, I'd have called it at 10-1 against the Tremere. Now I'm shifting it to 15-1, with 8-1 odds set for our boys in black intelligently handling any situation involving mortals. Not that I'm blasting the Tremere or anything. Generally it a fine, backstabbing, malicious Clan with all the nastiness and Machiavellian tactics we come to know and expect in your average vamp. But come on guys, get your act together! I mean, at the Nosferatu gathering a month back, you actually wandered off into the sewers against Nossie advice with Kara "I want to do it 'cuz you told me I couldn't" of Gangrel. Geez, if Max hadn't wandered by you'd still be stuck in the pit trap. (Kara, contrary as she is however, I expect could have gotten out soon enough. She'd have probably left you all there as an object lesson. Then again, she might just be mean. No wait, she's Cherished by both Devin and Max- hmmm.. yeah.. mean AND nasty tempered ). Knyt, congratulations on your new acquisition. Make it work your you.
GS.J: Look, let's get a few fact's straight... I was the one that carried Kara's unconscious self back to the group after our little "exploration", and since the rest of you were too busy "negotiating" with the Chupacarbra, I had to fix her up as well. Maxwell had jack shit to do with getting us out.
PD: i want you to listen to me carefully, it's the last time i'll say it- if you can't control your clanmates, i will. and then i'll see that you are "talked to" for your inability to control them. it's not a threat, do not take it as such. it is merely your Prince explaining the consequences for endangering his and his city's existence.
