Thread: "Praying For Time" 10.17.2009 ATTN: Stan

Stan Will quickly enter and make his way to the back. He has the steps of a man moving from one business deal to another. He only pays enough attention to what is around him to avoid running into anything. His boots will give him away long before he is seen. The dampness and smell of earth still cling to him as well as the smell of a bonfire. His jeans and flanel jacket seem quite out of place in the local, as if he has just come from somewere, less civilized. When he sees Alex he will head tward him noding as he moves forward.
"I am sorry to have taken so long to get with you. How may I be of service to you sir?"

After Stan makes himself comfortable, Alex speaks. "Stan, really, it's how may I be of service to you. After your assistance with the Cross incident last weekend. I was hoping that there was something I could do to help you find the source of the problem."

Stan will smile as Alex speeks, an old game with a new twist he thinks. Who knows maybe this harpy will know how to play it and not get himself killed. If only he know the mistakes Tamas made...

"I thank you for the offer, but the city needs your help with this issue not me. The thing in the park is the problem right now and it needs the full attention of the city."

Stan looks on waiting for a responce. I wonder if he might be able to find any of the other items he thinks to himself.

Alex nods, obviously agreeing with Stan. "As you say, of course. You do understand that I had to ask? Without respect for our Elders. . . well, we lose touch with what we truly are." Alex looks up, staring at the stars. "This thing in the woods. . . I want to help, but I'm afraid 'demonic infestations' was left out of my training. Perhaps there is something I can do, indirectly, to assist in its removal?"

Stan smile turns into a knowing smirk as Alex talks. A slight node follows as the conversation continues on to more serious talk.

"The thing in the park is very dangerous. At this time, in my opinion, everyone in this city needs to pull together and start to pull what resorces they have to gain an advantage. At this time with the Cross incidet and what apeared to be demonic investments, the...thing looking out of it's hole, and the fact that it is aparently gaining power we need to act soon. Art mentioned that aid was on it's way though their was no mention of what that was. Untill we know we need to prepare to defend our city, attacking is not an option at this time, unless someone has the ability to create specialized weapons."

Stan tilts his head as he looks intently at Alex.

"Tell me Alex, what year was the Camarilla formed?"

Alex soaks in the information and advice Stan gives him. "Unfortunately, the city's population has very little in the way of resources, influence, or even personal 'power'. I do not say that as criticism, but merely truth. Many of them, and I do include myself, have only recently resurfaced. We have not fully reestablished ourselves, but many are working hard toward that goal." He thinks about his words, and nearly stops himself from going further. Instead, realizing he is speaking to one of the most respected Elders in the city, he forges ahead. Besides, what could he really hope to hide from this creature, anyway? "I shall meet with the Seneschal and follow her sage council." He waits for Stan's reply, but then realizes he was asked a question he hasn't answered.

"1493."

Stan nodes along with Alex's words and smiles with a slight node at his answer. He sits there for a moment, his gaze becomming slightly unfocused for a moment.

"Yes the city and primogen court need to get together and discuss the current situation. As all evidence points toward a creature of demonic origens, we need to know what resorces we have available. It will not be good for this city to sit idaly by as the Justacars spend thier resorces. We need to know if...their are so many questions and very few answers at this time."

Stan gets a very concerned look as he considers what is going on. His gaze seems to refocus on Alex as if suprised to see that he is still there.

"It is very disconcerning that this this is able to exstend it's reach to the minds I'd those who walk the streets. It is proff that it is growig in power and needs to be stoped as soon as posible."

"I agree, Stan. I totally agree. And in that spirit of cooperation, I ask this next question. I recently learned that your name was also brought up as a potential candidate for Harpy. Now, I found out only after I was elevated to the position, obviously. Regardless, I wanted to make sure that there are no bad feelings on your end regarding this. This mostly comes from my Primogen; she wishes the wonderful relationship between our clans to continue to grow." Alex stops, waiting for Stan to respond. The cards were on the table now. No take-backs!

Stan smiles as Alex mentions his new position. A slight chuckle comes from him at the mention of him being made harpy. Alex will note that it fades at the mention of Brujah Malkavian relations.

"For starters I am quite satisfied with the courts voteing. I am aware that my name came up, though I can say to you that I would only have taken it if the court decided to place me in the position. I however would not have opened myself to their scrutiny, it is just not my style, beside if a conclave of Princes would elect me as their Master Harpy...well enough on the matter."

Stan will noticably cetch himself as he starts to ramble a little. He quickly composes himself as he continues.

"As for the Brujah and Malkavians working together, I see good things in the future as I welcome any strong aliance that works for the betterment of the city and our society. I learned long ago that I need to keep my...personal thoughts out of business. With that said I know two members of your family here and have known them for quite some time, I have no problem working with them, or any member of you family in this city. Their is only one in town that I have issues with, and that is purly baised on hearsay and as of yet unfounded, however if it does turn out to be true be sure that my...disapointment will be directed only at the one responsible for it."
