Thread: Waiting Per Request - Attn Lazarus Only

Lazarus enters the museum and sees him sitting there. He just called him how the devil did he make it here so damn fast. Lazarus was already on his way.

"M. Sir. I dont Think you have been filled in properly on what is going on. When those two Sabbat were put to final death the Elysium was already breached by an attack on my self and Jason a Catiff. I took those men inside to ensure that the masqurade could not be breached. We gained what knowledge we could from them and then put them down.

Second sir. As I am bound to you by my word, I told you that I would always do my best to help this city. As you can see that I have rallied the clans and we have helped the Kine out leaps and bounds with homeless shelters, New music and art supplise for the schools. A new computer lab and books for learning. A drug rehab center for those in need and so much more.

In my time as Prince I have not asked for the heads of any of my what was once loyal members. How ever, as we speak I fear that I am about to be put out of office. I want you to know that I will not go down with out a fight for the allagations to the best of my knowledge are all false.

As you can see the Harpy has her foot in every ones door like a good harpy should. How ever she manages to misuse information and re arange facts to best suit her self. Twice she has spread lies and twice been forced to correct it.

She uses her lies as a broad sword and her status as a shield.

I come because you trusted me above all else to aid you in saving this city. I come to you becuase this City needs to be saved and I am the best man for the Job.

M. Most Wise and Eldest of this City. Please help me."

Lazarus has a look of desperation. A look of I have no where else to turn to or I will wage a bloody battle with my own walls to keep in power and to keep the knowledge of what I have about this event with you, and the book/seals, and a few other things still in motion, flowing.

"Please. As a Ventrue you know this is not an easy task for me to come to you like this."

The creature before him blinks slowly.

"These affairs are not my concern. You justify breaching the Elysia as a petulant child with 'well they did it first'.

This is not the actions of a mature and wise ruler who respects the Traditions.

That breach alone moved this city closer as a pawn in a war that will not be to its benefit nor yours."

"With all due respect Sir. There attack removed elysium. I protected the masqurade. If you do not wish to see me in power anymore then do nothing, and the next person can take charge and you can use them as you have moved me around. As a pawn. I was told my your menion Janus that you are wise and compasionate man that is not to be taken lightly. Which is why I have done all that I can to comply with everything that you have asked for.

This is MY city for the time being. If you want it to stay this way then Help. If not wait for the next Power Hungery fool to take charge and see what happends. I will be dead and gone, That is the only way THEY will take MY city from me."

"You are young," he says slowly his eyes boring into Lazarus. "You are filled with fire and vigor. You think the actions of this single night matter, this year matter. You do not have the centuries of watching, maneuvering for your goals, the depth to give this matter proper consideration.

I have promised to give you aid and advice. My advice is that you calm yourself. A longer view is the smart move."

As he speaks you can feel a calmness settle over you with his words, as if his voice is the voice of God almighty telling you that everything is going to be ok.

feels the urge to wage a personal scurge on those that oppose him begin to fade. His boiling blood begins to simmer then sit still.

"As you wish Sir. I do my best to honor this city. I tried to help the Kine by building things that would help keep our food suply clean and disease free. With the aid of the a the clan that speaks against me I reid this city of a leathal drug lab. I have done my absolute best.

I feel that because of my weaker generation that I have been toyed with and played with. That I am being forced a side of the story that isnt really there. So many things I have been said to do doesnt make any sense to me.

Why would I willingly par take in a sabbat ritual? I have everything I need what in Gods name would I want something to bring me down?

I often wonder if large blocks of my mind have been pulled away not to protect me but to protect people that have done things to me that I didnt know about or understand what was. Short side of the clans of the Sabbat i have no idea what they can do.

I am asking if you can unlock my mind sir. You were able to do things that I didnt know were posible. Can you help me come clean on all this so that I know at least if I am being removed from my seat for an actual reason."

Menele slowly nods.

"You're right. You are what I would consider a good man. You have been used, you have been manipulated, yet still you try to do the best thing for the Tower.

Your mistakes are those of the young. Remember this though, Prince is not a 'win' condition of our nights. Your power to help does not stem from the power of the Praxis, if anything, that is a distraction to those who have real power. We use it to keep the ambitious young busy while the real game is played.

Leave it behind you, work with me and learn more of what the night can truly offer you."

Lazarus takes a deep and unneeded breath and slowly exhails into a sigh of sorts.

"Then I am here to be a sponge to you and your vast amount of knowledge.

What do I do first?"

His anguish and heavy hearted nature seem to leave him as he tries to take on a different persona.

The boundaries of his entire existance have been shook from the foundation.

A slow easy smile spreads across his face.

"There are things afoot this night, Praxis will change, but it will be peaceful. Once that is finished, seek me out. We have much to discuss."
