*Mensonge makes his way to the Regents off and as he gets there he offers a nock on his door and waits to be let in... he wairs a suit and blue silk tie, with matching gloves. and his cane is in hand, he is not bothering with faking a limp for it may just insalt the regent.*
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:03:48 PM)
*The office of the Regent... It was both the Tremere Chliche, and something entierly unexpected all in a single room. Shelves and shelves of books, a personal collection not made public to the rest of the Chantry, lined the walls. Several desks were set up in corners lit by coloured lamps, their surfaces strewn with items rare and arcane. Crystals, vials of fluids, texts, chalk, candles, pyramids made of gold and silver and bronze topped with salts and oils. Glasses made of dyed crystals and scented ashes... yet the large desk that dominated the centre of the room where the eldery gent sat was entierly different. Yes, there were books and notes, but also a pair of fake teeth in a glass of water and a magic 8 ball. As the serving staff open the door and usher you inside, he waves them away.* Leave us, give the Neonate and I some peace, thank you. *He offers you a smile as he gestures to the seat opposite him, not standing. His walking stick leans next to him*
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:08:23 PM)
*mensonge makes his way over to the seat and takes it. with his cane inbetween his legs as he offers the regent a nod and smile* Good evening my Regent. I have come to ask your help on a matter. The Prince Bell, I have heared some disturbing rumors about how sha has come to power, and I was hoping to know if any of them were true.
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:10:19 PM)
*The robed study assistants cafuly mark the pages of the books they were attending and close them, shuffling backwards from the room with deep bows to you and their master. The door shuts gently and quietly, as if the sound might somehow upset you both and break the air of peace that dominates the room. Under your feet is a floor tiled with carful planning. Coloured tiles and plain white ones mix carfuly to make runes and symbols, many of which have obvious purposes to you... Wards and rituals... But some of which are just a confusing mess. Maybe they are red herrings thrown into the mix to trick would be intruders, or maybe rituals and markings you aren't aware of. Reginald rests one hand on the desk, the other softly rubs his chest as thou it hurt him just a little as he listens. He smiles slightly at your question.* Straight to the heart of the matter, like a wooden stake with our reuptation on it, eh Neonate? No plesantries for your Regent this evening?... Nevermind. *He looks away and down, thinking for
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:10:41 PM)
a moment* I might know more, but you need to be more forthcomming. What details are you asking about?
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:18:14 PM)
*he nods a little* Well I have heard that some of the letter the Prince Bell prosented durring her taking of the seat were faked. As well as I have heared she may have traided favers for backing as well. Now traiding favers I have no problem of at all, but the faking of them does bring consern. *as he thinks a little and a smile spead his lips a little* I am sorry if I seem a little blunt. I am still young, and with time will learn the sutiltys of a warm conversation... ((Oh... and I am sorry for all the bad spelling.... I SO suck at that.))
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:21:59 PM)
((Are you kidding?! Don't run a spell check through mine, else you'll shame my English teachers!)) *Taking it in, he nods in agreement, letting both hands rest on the desk again. He sighs as if air were hard for him to come back as he waves away the comment about blunt youth.* Don't let it trouble you, I am teasing, nothing more. You would be right to say that this matter is far more important that any conversation starter we may have begun with. *Slowly he pulls himself up to lean forwards in his chair, speaking in lower tones despite the security of the location.* In truth, it is something I know of. I could not attend the Elysium Gathering that night when Ms Bell delcared herself the next in line for Praxis, thou I heard she produced letters from the founders of the city, myself included.
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:23:38 PM)
I never wrote such a letter. No, I considered Izzy a step down from the Ventrue, and that speaks volumes for my mistrust of her ability to govern. *He sneers just a little at the mention of the Blue Bloods, folding his hands.* I had hoped that, ill gotten or not, she would bring stability if we chose to remain silent rather then causing a fuss during a time of great upheval... But, I can see now that was a foolish dream.
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:27:16 PM)
*he nods slowly as he does agree with all that he is saying. and as he finishes her thinks for a second* So. now seeing that she is less skilled as a prince then need be, what should be done about it? *as he thinks* I have heard there are some out side this city that may be looking to this city as a wast to the Camairilla unless she is removed.
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:30:08 PM)
It's a tricky situation we find ourselves in... At this late stage, I dare not risk the good name of the clan by stepping forth and declaring the letters fake. Even if the other Elders did throw their support behind us, our lack of alacrity in the matter will call our judgement into question. We need a second option... And I think maybe you can help us find one. *He reaches a hand out, letting his cane fly from it's resting place into his palm as he stands. There is an unatural movement to his rise, as if assisted by invisible hands* These 'others' who are looking in, I hear tell of Blackmail... What do you know of this?
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:35:54 PM)
*he nods some, as well as flinches ever so little to his own cane as he has his come to him... but he soon relaxes to that* Yes. I have heard many things about this Blackmail, and to what I know it may be indeed a play to remove Bell. But I still lack the hard facks of the latter to say that. But the thing I have to do is decide. Do I take what I know to Bell, and in turn start a War between clans. *as he smiles and looks up to him* But not our own. *with the smile fading* or do I sit back and watch her fall? eather out come can only help our clan. and that is why I came to you, to know were you sit on the matter of Bell being our Prince.
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:39:43 PM)
*Laughing a little, he slowly begins a laboured walk around the desk towards one of the other desks that contains a series of crystals set up on tirpods.* I appriciate your desire to push our agenda forwards, and nobody would like to sit back and watch the clans war more then I... War is profit, after all. However, I think for now we should wait and hold off on doing anything confrontaional untill we have all the cards in our hand. What would you say to doing a little investigation into this Blackmail?
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:43:57 PM)
*he nods some more* I have done some inversigation into the blackmail. and it seems the name Simone La Brant comes up some.
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:44:28 PM)
*he thinks some* Do you know much about her? I have not been able to find much myself.
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:46:24 PM)
*Nodding, he pours over the crystals for a moment* I will make a suggestion... Take it as nothing more then that. If this situation with Izzy does deteriorate and her removal becomes necissary, I'm sure that a new Prince would be willing to overlook any small stretches of your duristrtiction during the investigation of this Blackmail... But, don't make any unecissary enemies. Speak with the Nosferatu, maybe? Any other information brokers that may know more, and find out who has this Blackmail information... Get it, return it to us here at the Chantry, and our next move will make itself clear.
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:51:17 PM)
*he offers a nof to the regent as he stand, as it seems the end of this talk has come... but he stops and thinks and looks to his regent again* I am sorry to ask this my Regent, but the path you seem to have mastered, Movment of the Mind, would you by chance be willing to teach it to myself? and if so, what would the price be in that?
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:53:48 PM)
Hmmm... Should you return this Blackmail item to me, Neonate, I'll consider your talents worth investing in, by all means.
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:57:41 PM)
*he thinks a little to himself as he nods* $2million that is not a very hard thing for me. *as he nods* But I understand, and I will see what I can do about it. *and with that he moves to the door to leave. but not without first stealing a glance at the floor and taking note of the shapes there for studie latter.* ((wow... fun.))
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 8:58:34 PM)
((Salute to you, sir! Thank you for your time :D Go get that blackmail infor before the wretched other clans get their grubby hands on it!))
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:59:50 PM)
((I have a lot of the info..... just does not know if the Regent is trust worthy*
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 8:59:52 PM)

Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 9:00:08 PM)
((I am a sneaky old man... I mean.. HEY!))
Mensonge (Oct 22, 2011 9:00:25 PM)
((LOL...... okay.... I log..))
Reginald Winston Barnes V (Oct 22, 2011 9:00:30 PM)
((Farewell!))
