Emergency Court (Museum of Aquatic Nuances)

Eric watched the proceedings and noticed Marius as he stood and spoke. His eyes narrowed. That one looked familiar. Why? He searched his memory and it came to him. With a smile, he remembered meeting the kindred a very long time ago. However, he doubted if Marius would remember him. No matter. All of the kindred here would know him well soon enough.

He turned to Shadow. "I am surprised the Prince would not pick one as beautiful as you to adivse him as well. Surly he could not control himself from noticing a lovely creature like yourself."

Shadow blushes again and shakes her head. "Ah no. Prince Asa and Sheriff Ishani are very much in love and I would never try to step in bwtween them."

Eric smiled and nodded. Good to know indeed.

Elle tilts her head at the newcomer near Shadow, seeing the woman blush..

Shadow? Strong and brave Shadow? What the hell is this guy saying to her to make her blush... she thinks, inching her way over while Asa and his new court talk, trying to seem inconspicuous, very suspicious.

Through all of the surprises thrown at Rahyna this evening she had not had a chance to check over at how Shadow was doing and when she finally did she noticed someone that she did not know there was a feeling in her belly that rose up from her toes no one had the right to be that close to Shadow but her she went to take a step forward but stopped herself when remembering she still had a new position to attend to.

Rahyna steps forward and tries to take her eyes off of the man sitting next to Shadow she clears her throat before speaking making sure she is loud enough for all to hear her "Would anyone new to the city of the Gangrel Clan please introduce yourself."

Arnold Culler had arrived at the meeting just before Asa addressed the gathered Kindred. He had found a spot near the door, and hadn't spoken to anyone. He has no friends or allies here, excepting covenant ties, so he sees no reason to extend himself. He listens, with rapt attention, to the address. Nodding in approval after it was over.

Arnold takes away one important fact from Asa's ascension to Princedom. An Invictus ruled the city. He found this fact intriguing and was curious as to how this would turn would unfold in the future.

Jason Stanton:

Jason had missed out on advance warning yet again, and arrived late. I need to stop making a habit of this, he thought as he tried to quietly make his way down the hall and sat among his covenant.

Jackson McKennon:

After getting tired of waiting for his alleged escort, Jackson decided to make the trip to the museum alone. When he arrived, he sat in the nearest available seat, not knowing where else to go.

Jack managed to arrive after a few wrong turns along the way. He wouldn't be surprised if everything had already ended and he would have to wait untill next time, but he could wait a little longer. He wasn't in a rush to make an idiot of himself. Jack managed to find out where everything was being held and went in.
His beast demaned he run somewhere safe as he silently slipped in, but he had to remain focused. He found a wall hear the back to lean against while he tried to keep the dammed Beast from taking over. Someones getting along in years here... He thought as he corssed his arms and tried to keep himself from losing it.

Rahyna waits to make sure none of the other new faces do not wish to step forward before continuing "Now if the Daeva would please step forward and intorduce them selves."

Jack took a few seconds before stepping forward. He never liked this part, but it had to be done. "Jack Bennett, Carthian Movement. He said with a bow. "Came here looking for a new home. I hope that won't be a problem." He kept it short, sweet and tried his dammed best to make sure he wasn't trying to insult someone without relising it.

Rahyna waited a few minutes after the Daeva stood up and as she waited to see if anyothers would stand she realized that this would be much quicker if she just had any new members of the city stand and give their clan instead of calling each clan individually why do things the way the use to be done she was not Twist so she would do things her way.

"Would any other kindred who is new to the city please stand and state your Clan, Covenant, and where you came from." there she thought to herself that will hopefully speed things along now at least she wouldnt have to wait so long to see if any of the other new faces would stand for each clan.

Marius smiled, as his clan head made the adjustment to move things along more swiftly. He had wondered when she would grow bored of the routine. It showed that the Daeva had a Priscus with a spine.

Change was good.

Rahyna was a little annoyed that the first person to stand did not give all of the information she had asked for but she did not let it show on her face as she addressed him "Mr. Feiran what clan do you hail from." she asked plesently as the man took his seat once more.

Mrs. Scotts takes note, and whispers to Eva.
"Sorry, but I must ensure that I keep abrest of al new members." She stands, and makes her way to Auvrey. She doesn't interrupt the Seneschal though, just blends into the subtle sway of the crowd.

Leighanne watched as others stood and introduced themselves she really did not want all eyes on her but figured if she did it quickly maybe it wouldn't be as bad kind of like ripping a band - aid off quick she stood on shaky legs and looked to Erika for support "My name is Leighanne and I am told that I am Nosferatu" she sat down quickly and then realized that she didn't say where she came from and then spoke from her seat "I am from Wahsington and don't have one of those other things you asked about."

Eric stood and a broad smile came across his handsome face. "My name is Eric Bethen. I am Ventrue and I have no covenent affiliation. I am recently from Ontario." He returns to his seat next to Shadow.

Jackson took this moment to stand and introduce himself.

"My name is Jackson McKennon, and until a few days ago I had no idea that any of this stuff was real. I still don't know what a clan or covenant is."

After that, he looked around sheepishly and sat back down. That he could stand at all in the wake of the fear that he was feeling was an accomplishment, much less that he managed to speak.

Sabina stood and cleared her throat "My name is Bishop Sabina of the Lancea Sanctum I am Ventrue and have come here from Romania." she decided to keep it short and to the point.

Alaric stands.

"I'm Alaric Wulfreich, formerly of Germany, now just a traveler, I seek some time in your realm Prince..." he then sits back down, eying the man near Shadow with a slightly murderous gleam in his eyes for someone being that close to her, his claws itching.

Rahyna lets the irritation show this time at this person who came in and seemed to be vieing for Shadow's attention and the irritation comes out slightly in her voice only noticeable to those who know her "And Mr. Wulfreich what clan and covenant do you claim?"

He smiles winningly at her, calm and peaceful as always.

"Madame Seneschal I am of the Ventrue... And, Unaligned..."

Rahyna looks at the man and then turns her attention back to the others gathered around she does a slow sweep and looks at all the new faces and feeling quite confident that all have stood she continues.

"Those that have presented them selves in the presence of of myself as the Seneschal and the Prince are hereby acknowledged within the city limits of Sacramento." pausing a second she runs through all the clans in her head and continues on "The Prisci are as follows Daeva is myself, Mehket is Harpy Dr. Erika Brady, Gangrel Veritas, Nosferatu Dr. Akasha Asaan, and Ventrue Prince Asa Clarke"

Rahyna then thinks back to the rules of the city and opts to go ahead and spout them all even though some of them may be changed in very near future "The rules of the city are as follows The Masquerade is the Law and will be kept. Childer will not be sired without permission. The destruction of a Kindred's property will be met with grave consequences. Death to a Kindred by the hands of another Kindred is forbidden, unless it is by the hands of the Sheriff or Hounds. No Kindred Shall charge boons to direct new members of the city to the people they need to speak with to get acknowledged within the city limits. No Kindred shall present Rose, or any derivative there-in, as a gift to the Prince at any gathering of Kindred. Attendance to court is not mandatory but failure to make three courts in a row shall cause the loss of all rights within the city and the individual will again need to be presented to the Prince. On any given Friday the 13th a Kindred within the city is expected to throw the Prince a Galla of a brand new theme. This theme cannot repeat itself ever." she thinks for a second before continuing on with the feeding laws "Feeding laws are as follows A Moratorium has been placed on the feeding from, ghouling or otherwise interferring with the lives of these peoples. If it is found that you fail to follow this rule your punishment will be swift, dramatic and public. The mark of shame will then follow you for TEN YEARS after the punishment has finished. DO NOT TOUCH ORDER ON THE FOLLOWING POLICE OFFICERS, FIRE FIGHTERS, EMERGENCY MEDICAL TEAMS (EMT's), ALL HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES the rack is located downtown for those who have need of it." doing a once over in her mind of everything she has said she thinks she has covered everything and then decides to add on last thing "These rules are the current ones but as they were put in place by the former Prince they may be subject to change if they are changed there will be a notice posted in all Elysiums throughout the city."

Looking to Asa she smiles "Unless our Prince has anything to add I believe that will conclude tonight's court." with the last statement she bows to Asa.

Rahyna turns to Asa "Thank you Prince Clarke if you need anything from me please let me know." she really hoped he didn't need anything tonight she needed to vent some frustration and figure out why she was caring about other people going after Shadow's attention.

Shadow, Zen, Bella, and Lioni stand and make their way out of the museum.

Ishani waits for Asa and Veritas waits for the room to be cleared of kindred before leaving herself.

Elle

Elle feels like a woman scorned, heading out immediately to her new truck.

Alaric

Alaric nods to both Shadow and Rahyna, wanting to talk to Shadow soon and see how she is doing, and prove to Seneschal Rahyna that he only has her best interests at heart. He takes his BMW home to his ship to sleep.

Eva

Eva rises, taking a cab home .

Ace

Ace follows Zen out, wanting to talk to her about Icarus, about everything... But finding that lately she is very very busy...

Aura

Aurelie nods to Sigmund, hoping he stops by the Lily again sometime soon. She heads out into the night where Darren is waiting for her at home.

Glad that the court was over, Jack stepped out and walked back to the Clare. He didn't have that place forever so he would have to start haven-hunting. Among other things.

Mrs. Scotts makes a beeline for Auvrey.

"Good Day Mr. Auvrey Feiran. I am Mrs. Scotts, whip of the Mekhet, it is a pleasure to meet you." She is suprised by how calming this man is. Its almost a delight to be put so at ease, instead of forcing herself like she normally does.

Sabina walked over to Erika to give her all of her contact information before she leaves to head back to the church in light of the state of the city she decided she needed to hold a midnight mass and needed to start working on it.

************************************************************************************************************
Seraphina looks at Akasha and bends over trying to ignore the smell emanating from him and kisses him on the cheek before rising "When ever you are ready to have that talk let me know and I will be there." she smiles and turns to leave the museum.

************************************************************************************************************

Leighanne looks to Erika wondering how much longer they would have to stay she was starting to get really uncomfortable in this crowd of people she didn't know.

If Mrs. Scotts could blush, she would, before she remembers that while he may be allied with her covenant, he wasn't acutally in it. She gives a pleasant smile "Oh no, not on our first meeting mr. Feiran. That would be far too intimate. But come, let me introduce you to our priscus."

She heads straight to Dr. Brady. "Miss Brady, this is Auvrey Feiran of the Lancea Sanctum. Auvrey Feiran, this is your Priscus and the Prince's Harpy, Dr. Erika Brady."

"Pardon me, but I must go. Mr. Feiran, I hope to see you at a Mass sometime soon." She begins to head out.
