*Prince Tijerius sits in Elysium and summons a ghoul to him*

Fetch me a drink and then we will start the business of the evening, is there anybody who wishes to present him or herself as a new member of my City?

*As the Lady Lowell enters the Elysium, she looks around the room at those assembled.*


Hah! Let them fawn! I will bide my time! </>


*She takes a goblet of red wine from a passing flunkey, then takes a seat on a table to the right of Prince Tijerius*


*She sips her wine slowly, as she witnesses the proceedings*

*slightly inclines his head*

Good evening Lady Lowell, have you thought more about accepting a place upon the Council, you know that I value your wisdom

*a tall blonde male enters with a brown haired beauty following slightly behind. They both stop infront of Tijerius and bow low*

My Lord.

*slowly rising*

I am Dante Strife and this is my lady Catherine. We have come from the Americas and wish to make your wonderful city our home.

Mr. Strife, I am gratified you would choose my city as a home.

*turns his gaze to Catherine*

Your full name child? And the names of your parent clans and sires if you please.

*points to Catherine*

Miss. Catherine don Vega and I am her sire.

We are from the Ventrue and my sire is Vergil de Costa on the Council in San Gabriel, California.

I see *raises an eyebrow*

*gestures to Lady Lowell*

Lady Lowell is also from your parent clan.
As for being a Sheriff....hah....I do not award positions of such high importance without merit. You must prove yourself.

*gestures to wherre a stocky man is standing, you didn't notice he was there until pointed out*

That is our current Sheriff, Lord Wormwood, he is thinking of retiring. If he will have you for one of his Hounds, perhaps he will recommend you take over when he retires

*looks Lord Wormwood over and snorts*

As you wish, my Lord.

*to Lord Wormwood*

I am highly skilled in most bladed weapons and firearms, as well as hand-to-hand combat and I always keep my killings discreet.

So, will you have me Wormwood?

He is an arrogant one, let William bring him down a peg or two </>

Until such time as I hear progress from you, you and your...*ahem*...child are permitted to reside within my city.

*bows low*

Thank you my Lord.

*starts to leave for the bar with Catherine following*

*Prince Tijerius turns to Lady Lowell*

I think he may fancy himself higher up your clan than you...</>

*stops walking*

And what is her Generation? 13th? *humph*

Mr. Strife! Keep a civil tongue in your head when you refer to respected members of my City.

*frowns darkly*

*William looks his new recruits up and down*

*turns to the Prince*

My liege, are you sure about allowing these...*cough*...arrogance and insolence are never welcome among those I allow to be my Hounds

*his heavily scarred face twists into what might be a smile, but he is so disfigured it could be a grimace*

*inclines his head slightly to William*

*enters walks about halfway down the hall and bows in possiably an overly elaborate manner*

You are the prince of this city am I correct?

I would like to apply for some position within your city....
*smiles brightly*
I beleve i could be very useful my lord

Welcome to the City Lady...?

*slightly inclines his head*

I am always looking for new advisors, of course, I do not give out these honoured positions lightly. You must prove yourself first. We have need of a Keeper of Elysium, you may try your hand at the task if you feel up to it?

*slight sardonic smile*
