CHAPTER 8: E-MAILS

Subject: You too can save money on long distance!

Hiya!! I came across this mail server and I just COULD NOT resist; I had to have an e-mail with this address – hahaha!!

Things are going are going as planned. I have been building a relationship with Stephan over the past month. I took him to Skymania (a trampoline park off of Tropicana, just past Boulder Hwy) – It was so much fun I would’ve peed my pants if I still could. Stephan is beginning to lower his shields and allowing a little more emotion to show, at least around me. He himself has admitted to being surprised at the amount of emotion I can pull from him. That’s a good sign, right? He’s confiding in me as well. I may have to move onto the next stage of my plan, but I’m starting to have feelings for him. I no longer want him just to prove I can steal a ghoul and get away with it; I now want him because I care for him. We’ve kissed a couple of times, but that’s it. We haven’t even fooled around yet (sigh)…maybe the next time we get together.

There’s been a political change in Vegas, the Ventrue Stark is no longer prince, being removed by his entire clan and that puts Lady Peltier in charge. I don’t think she’ll keep the position for long; she has the backing of Ventrue, Tremere and Gangrel, but not Brujah. And from what I’ve seen of Vegas, if you do not have the Brujah backing you had better hope that they do not object to you claiming praxis. One of the Brujah, Chris White, has his eyes on praxis, if he can convince Frank to back him no one would stand in his way and we will be going through yet another political change. On the upside Frank is not political, so getting him to help get someone into office is near impossible.

At the last Primo meeting the feeding grounds were redrawn, but my Primo has not contacted any of our clan to let us know where we are to feed. Luckily I have a herd to feed from, but some of the others do not. I will make one last attempt to get the information, maybe a few billboards along the freeway. I have only met her once, and I feel she is incompetent, extremely paranoid. I don’t think I like her. Lady Peltier has become extremely talented in manipulating my Primo, I’m afraid we will be getting shafted in the very near future.

There is something coming. Something very big and very nasty. I can hear it in the whispers of the wind and taste it in the words of the moon. Weaker and ‘less important’ Kindred are going missing, granted Vegas is a very transient town, but these disappearances are not normal. I’m almost afraid, but of what I do not know.

I guess that is everything for now. I’ll talk to you later,

Toodles to poodles,
Lolli

Subject: RE: You too can save money on long distance!

That is a most amusing e-mail address, my childe. Please, allow me to address the issues you have presented in the order I perceive them.

First in regards to your Stephan, yes, his emotional displays around you, even if they are only in private, are a strong sign of trust. I am perplexed by the use of your jargon “fooled around” I am assuming this is a phrase used for more…physical activities. You must tread carefully, fledgling, if you move too fast you will destroy all of the work you have done so far in regards to ‘stealing’ Stephan. Trust your judgment; it has yet to lead you astray. Your own emotional attachments to him are just as I feared. You were planning on making him love you; however, you yourself are beginning to fall prey to your own plan. Deceptions such as these are best completed by those who can avoid emotional entanglements, a trait you my dear do not possess. If you wish to avoid any further emotional attachment abandon your plan now and stop seeing Stephan. The choice is yours.

A Brujah prince? Most intriguing, should that situation occur you may need to remain in Las Vegas longer to observe and report on this phenomenon. You have mentioned Frank in previous correspondences, and based upon your own observation, he is the oldest and most powerful Brujah in Las Vegas. You have also mentioned that he is protective of his friends and fiercely loyal to his clan. Should Frank see Chris White as a friend he may be more easily swayed than you think. My advice would be to get in close with the Brujah, if they are…as you have stated….the ‘powerhouse’ of Las Vegas, it would behoove you to be on their good side. It would be even better if they felt the need to protect you. A task I am certain you are more than capable of accomplishing.

If your Primogen is incapable of performing her duties she needs to be removed from her position.

The disappearances may be related to the events with the Nosferatu you had described to me many months ago. I wish you to talk to the Nosferatu; make them aware of you suspicions, even if they do not accept you at your word they will look into this mystery on their end and present their own findings. If you can, advise caution to the Nosferatu. One of the best ways to cripple a city is to cut off its information supply, in Kindred terms this is the Nosferatu. Without them the Prince would be blind and deaf, and therefore vulnerable.

Of all my childer you possess an uncanny insight and almost precognitive vision, if you fear you are danger then danger you are in. Be careful. Absinthe and Mary have been expressing a desire to travel. Patches, however, is content for now to be where she is, but if you wish it I can send one of your sisters to Vegas. Regrettably, I am still forbidden to travel freely, and my request to visit the neighboring city of Laughlin has been denied. My apologies, I know you were looking forward to our “daddy/daughter day.”

Sincerely,
Dr. Morgan

Stephan,
Are you still picking me up from work tomorrow night? If so I’m only putting in 3 hours and will be finished by 11PM. If you don’t want to come inside, you can wait for me out back. I’ll give the bouncer a heads up so he doesn’t think you’re a perv or something.

One of the girls let me borrow a movie. ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ I think you’ll like it. Can we watch it at your place; my DVD player is on the fritz.

BTW what do you think of my new e-mail address?

The movie sounds interesting; I do not see an issue with watching it at my apartment. I will pick you up tomorrow from Cheetahs at 11 P.M. I will wait out back for you to finish your shift. Please do not forget to tell the bouncer, I do not want another incident like last time.

In regards to your new e-mail address, it certainly seems to fit you.

Respectfully,
Stephan Villos

Subject: Good Work

I must admit I had my doubts about your suggestion to use Stephan to obtain information on the Malkavian Primogen; however, it did work. Thanks to the information he obtain I was able to show her the wisdom of the Malkavian new feeding grounds as well as a few other points I needed her vote on.

Do not misread this e-mail; I do not condone his association with Lollipop and I suggest you keep a tight leash on your pet. Ending his association with her as soon as possible would be ideal.

He is not my pet! And if he is doing a good job why should I stop him from seeing the Malk?

Do NOT forget with whom you are speaking!

I am strongly encouraging you to put an end to Stephan’s association with Lollipop! It does not look good, and I will not permit anything else to damage our less than impeccable reputation. If his relationship with her persists she will be destroyed for poaching, he will be punished for this transgression and you will share his fate for allowing the situation to exist in the first place.

I hope I have made myself clear.

Hiya Kit,

I need to meet you; I think the Nosferatu are in danger.

My encounters with your Primogen have left a very poor taste in my mouth. I do not have time for your games, Malkavian!

This isn’t a game, or prank! I am not that raving, paranoid, bubble-head! Kindred come and Kindred go, but not in the numbers I’ve seen and I’m sure you have noticed as well. I feel the Ventrue know something that they aren’t telling the rest of us.

Something nasty is coming and I feel it will target the Nosferatu again. Someone once told me that one of the best ways to cripple a city is to cut off its information supply, in Kindred terms- the Nosferatu. Without them the Prince would be blind and deaf, and therefore vulnerable.

Subject: Wherefore art thou Primo

O Raven, Raven! Wherefore art thou Primo?
Deny thy feathers and refuse thy flight;
Or if thou wilt not, be but my Primo
And I’ll no longer be lost.

‘Tis but a single answer that is my quest;
Thou art mine Primo, to thee I must turn.
Where be our domain? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a Malkavian. O be not lost to me!

What’s in a name? That which we still call Raven
By any other word would still be as elusive;
So Raven would, where you not Prio call’d
Retain that dear resolution which from you I ask.

Raven, doff me not, for it is a lineage which we share.
To sate my hunger, where must I go?

West of Paradise, East of Koval between Harmon and Trop. It is south of the Hard Rock Casino, but we are to avoid that establishment, as it has been claimed by another clan.

There are only 6 of us in the city. We do not require a large area; the few blocks allotted will suit us fine.
