Onward to Shadow's (Attn: Johann/Ace/Shadow/Jackson)

{{Erica didnt read close enough to know Rahyna was standing there, sorry for a bit of human error and now Elle looks like an ass.}}

"Rahyna... I did not see you there, I am so sorry.. I know you are the priscus, I honestly did not see you standing there. There are so many beasts in one room I didnt feel you out either. I am not abusing new found power, I made a mistake, which I am fixing as we speak. I have sent a corrective text out. " she sets her mouth in a grim line at the mention of Davis in such a way, resisting the urge to lunge across the floor and tear out her throat.

"Then I hope you find a more worthy Priscus. I am sorry that you can not account for an error." she says, rising.

"Lioni, thank you for your comfort, I would appreciate it a lot if you would call me about what we discussed. I will text to cancel the Daeva meeting. Good evening to you all." she says, then looks to Shadow.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I caused a problem at your meeting, I will attend you in every way I can and will do my best to live up to the ex-Hound's illustrious history. If you have need of me, I will be at your side in a moment." she bows her head respectfully, and leaves.

**AND A TYPO, A MORE WORTHY WHIP IS WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO SAY!!**

"Please miss... Rahyna is it?
Such a beautiful name for a even more bautiful woman" The Gangrel intervined without too much passion, smiling at the beautiful woman about to chew Elle's head off, calmly trying to put himself between the two soon to be battling women, hoping to calm down the situation before it would degenerate even further, the last thing they needed now was more Beasts getting rattled, specially considering his Miss Moraine was probably just an inch from frenzy to begin with, knowing the sort of dispair the sensation of a breaking Vinculum can sink you in, his voice soft as he pleaded "Her lover is gone, he whom she thought all eternity would be spent, yes, she rushed and fucked up, but it isn't something that can't be undone by another text"

The Bruja tried to refrain fron taking sides on the struggle, just shield the already frail Ele from further punishment, she undoubtly needed the support right now, hopefully, his frieds would support him if this blew on his face...

"But your wiser then her, do not rush too, let her usefulness to the city and to you, for real, before kickin' her for a text" A soft smile in his lips as he looked into her eyes, a bit more the pleeding before he seemed to remember "Sorry to be so... brash I guess, I'm Johann Wulfhramm, of the Clan Gangrel, pardon my intromision"

Rahyna whirls around at the man speaking to her of lovers and eternity she gives him a look of utter disgust her demeanure had calmed slightly as Elle had appologized and left the room "I am sorry was your oppinion asked for... no I don't belive it was so please do not stick your Gangrel nose into something that has nothing to do with you this Sir is a Daeva issue not a city issue there fore you can take your speak of lovers and eternity and throw it out the window for all I care." turning towards Shadow she gives her a pleading look as if to say get them out or I will seriously loose it.

Rahyna needed some time to sit and speak with Shadow before she started doing what needed to be done to get the city back into proper working order for her.

Elle hears them while she is out of the room, but leaves the Gangrel to deal with what he stepped into.

She glances at her phone, then heads outside and sits on the curb, staring into the night and waiting for Asa.

"Can't blame a guy for tryin'" The Bruja shrunged with ease, still smiling at the beautiful woman infront of him, there was no point on speaking to whom wouldn't listen after all, none had gone chasing after the other, so as far as he was concerned he had acomplished what he expected...

Going back to his friends, Johann sighed slightly, looking at Reed with a bit of an appologetic smile, as if noticing the look on his friend's face, the one that fuly expresed his opinion of what had just happened, a bit of a short laughter on his voice as he added a short "Sorry about that..."

"Yes Prince, I had no intentions of leaving your side unless I knew for sure that you were safe." O-Yama says with a small smile.

Nicolo arrives as people are leaving -- the church is far from town. "Madame Seneschal?"

Mrs. Scotts departs. "Jason, see to your clan." She says as she leaves him.

Ace follows Mrs. Scotts out, getting another taxi to take to the Mekhet meeting.

He calls Zen again, terribly worried.

Leighanne bows to Shadow and heads back out of the room towards the library she had been in and picks her book back and continues reading as she was told to do.

Nicolo stares at her in absolute and utter disbelief for several moments, then sinks to his knee and bows his head. "Forgive me, Your Highness. And, would that be 'Princess'? I am afraid I have never been in a city with a female Prince. May I inquire as to what has happened to our newly departed Crown?"

He did his best to keep his voice even and calm, but the predator inside him scratched and whined at its confines, knowing there would be trouble, and sooner than they could prepare for it. For the love of Longinus, this city was ill-fated. Nicolo was no sooth-sayer, but it didn’t take a witch to predict a future of pain and power struggles here with such a sudden upheaval of regimes. And it probably didn't bode well for most's well being, except the very powerful, or the very well connected.

Johann left as Ace did, even if he was to his own meeting, gathering the Gangrel might prove troublesome, but if no one else was left to guide them, he would have to step up...

Rahyna walks up and puts a hand on Shadow's shoulder and leans over "Will you be ok if I step out for a while I need to bring my clan up to speed but I will stay if you need me to." she has look in her eye that says they will have a private talk when they have time but the words stay unspoken.

Rahyna smiles at her before looking from one man to another "Well Madame Prince I am merely a phone call away if you need anything I will just be over at the Museum." she then raises and leaves the Chapter house.

Nicolo swallows his horror. "Your Highness, please." He whispers "Please rise up off your knees; you show weakness and lack of determination to rule. You cannot repeat this act again if you hope to lead a populace of Kindred." He narrows his eyes at Rahyna, who treats Her Highness like a commoner, touching her body, asking casual questions. No deference, no respect. As if she owns Her... As if she owns Her.

Apparently the Princess had mistaken distress in his manner for the regret he felt for the city. Nothing more. With any luck, he'd have been judged to served his sentence and be removed from this chaos soon enough.

"I am sorry for the burden that has been thrust in Your most capable lap. With Your leave, I will return to our Church and meet our new Bishop and attempt to gather our Covenant together." But upon hearing that woman would be abandoning the Princess, Nicolo changed his mind. "On second thought, I will stay, Your Highness. When will you be appointing men-at-arms, attendants and ladies-in-waiting? You should never be left alone. Never again."

Stanton:

As the group is breaking up, Jason approaches the new Prince.

"Madam Prince, Davis was my only contact among my clan. In fact, I don't think anyone aside from him had any place in leadership within the clan. Would it be too much to ask for some contact information of the most likely replacements?"

McKennon:

Jack was getting fed up with this whole charade.

"All right, that's it, I've had enough. This is all a load of crap! None of you are vampires, I'm not a vampire, you're just a bunch of freaks with a sick sense of humor. I'm going home, to bed. I have a test tomorrow."

With that, he headed for the door.

O-Yama is standing beside Prince Shadow one moment and in the blink of an eye he is standing in front of Jack, sword drawn and blade resting cross-ways against his throat. He has no emotion on his face, simply doing his duty as ordered.

"I would suggest that you stay." He says, voice completely dead.

Spoiler:

"With Your leave then, Your Highness?" Nicolo fluidly rises and turns his back on the self-crowned Princess.

O-Yama see's Nicolo turn his back on the Prince in what in his old lands would be percieved as disrespect, out of the corner of his eye. Keeping his eyes locked on Jack, he warns Nicolo.

"Priest, you do not turn your back on the Prince in such a disrespectful manner. Mind yourself."

No... this was too rich. Anger flashed brilliant and hot in his ink-black eyes as Nicolo slowly, but purposefully turned back around on the little would-be warrior. His eyes narrowed and he held himself back from the chants that began to swirl in his mind.

"YOU would have ME treat Her Highness in a more respectful manner? You? A so-called 'man-at-arms' that would allow an entire room full of Her subjects not bend a knee to a newly anointed Sovereign? You? Who would let Her body be touched by a commoner? I should mind MYSELF? Sir, you should be invited to remember what a sunrise looks like."

Again, Nicolo turned his back and began to make his way toward the door.

"No you fool, I would not have her do anything of the sort."

O-Yama says blade still poised at Jack's throat.

"BUT it is Her Princedom, and how she deems to rule it is her affair, not something that a lowly priest has station to give opinion on."

"My apologies milady, I meant you no disprespect."

With that he remains silent, face still stoic, never once having flinched in anger or rising to Nicolo's baiting. He kept his eyes squarely lined up on Jack's and through this all he has not moved once, blade still resting against the Neonate's throat.

Nicolo had turned back as his Princess addressed him and listened to Her words. "Yes, Your Highness." He then bowed, turned and left the room once more, a half grin forming. Well, that was a more improved start for Shadow Regina, anyway.

Stanton:

Jason nodded in compliance and quickly went on his way.

McKennon:

Jackson had never been so terrified in his life, even discounting the strange terror that these people seemed to evoke from him. He responded to it they way he always responded to fear: badly.

"Listen, I understand that you people are big on pretense and 'understanding your station' and all that, but I obviously don't belong here. I know I haven't done anything to deserve this kind of treatment, so I'm going to assume that you think I'm someone else, someone that really honked you all off, especially what with the PSYCHO HOLDING A SWORD TO MY NECK! That said, maybe we can talk this out, and maybe go our separate ways?"

He tried to don a winning smile, but it wound up looking as fake as it was.

Mrs. Scotts, along with her ghoul, depart for the Invictus meeting.

Rahyna arrives at the chapter house and hurries back inside she feels that she she should have never left her side on this evening but now that she was back she had nothing else to do but be by her side she enters the room and sees Shadow talking to Erika so she keeps quite until Shadow recognizes that she is there.

Leighanne looks up from one of her books and gives Shadow a slightly dejected look but does as she is told she gathers her books and follows Shadow out of the library with out a word staying a good distance behind her.

Leigh side steps from behind Shadow still keeping a good distance between the two of them and then stops a more than an arms reach from Erika she is clinging to the books she has been reading "Good evening Seneschal Brady it is a pleasure to meet you." she inclines her head slightly but does not make a move towards her or extend her hand.

O-Yama sheathes his katana and puts a hand on the man's shoulder. He leads him to the Library.

"You heard the Prince, to the Library. If you can keep civil and not try to take off, I won't draw my blade again. I'll stay in here with you until the Prince returns."

Leighanne looks from Erika to Shadow and then settles back on Erika "That would be ok I guess. Can I still take these books with me ?" she still hasn't moved from where she was she waited for Erika to leave and she would follow.

"So is this how all. . .what the hell do you call them, new hires? are treated?" Jack asked. "They get accosted on the street, and then locked up in a warehouse for who knows how long, and then the resident sword wielding freak comes after them? Who would ever want to be a vampire?"
