*The black BMW drove up and parked on the street nearby, and Marc got out of the driver's seat to head towards the chantry in a slate gray suit with a white shirt and white tie, mentally going over things. He mounted the steps, went to the front door, and knocked...*

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 7:52:32 PM)
*Ana was seated in the library in one of the many comfy chairs with a book on her lap,she was dressed in her usual black pants suit accented with a blue silk scarf,her hair pulled into a bun held up with two wooden chopsticks..Her was face emotion and expressionless as she read the book on her lap which seemed rather knew compared to many that were dotted throughout the library*

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 7:53:28 PM)
*After being let in by the Chantry's ghoulish door warden he meandered into the library where he paused, then cleared his throat, not wanting to interrupt but aware that Ana wished to speak to him....*

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 7:54:33 PM)
*Before Marc cleared his throat she knew he was there but did not look up from her book*Good evening Mr.LaSalle how do you fair this evening*it was then that she looked up at him,giving him a slight nod of her head*Do have a seat,unless you wish to stand..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 7:55:35 PM)
*He settled into one of the nearby seats* The evening finds me well, if a little troubled. You wished to speak with me Miss Montrose?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 7:56:07 PM)
May I ask why you are troubled? And yes,I do but I wish to hear why you are troubled first..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 7:57:00 PM)
*He steepled his fingers before his mouth for a second, in thought, then spoke* I have it on some authority that The sheriff, among others, knows precisely who is behind the blackmailing revolving around our prince.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:01:45 PM)
*that made her smirk a bit*I see,and do you believe them? Do you think it should be followed up on to find out who is doing such a thing?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:03:20 PM)
*He sighed* According to the Nos Feratu, Vargoss, Perdrew, and Mensonge all know exactly what's going on - but this bothers me for obvious reasons. I find myself in a position of the fool - do I speak up, and run the risk of upsetting a coup de etat and in the process alienate myself and our clan, or hold my tongue? Of course I have to keep my trap shut, but to what end?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:05:52 PM)
*she was silent for a long moment as she thought about his words*Has Mensonge told you about how the Prince came to be Prince? And trust me,Mr.LaSalle our clan is already alinated,you should know this already..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:06:50 PM)
Well, more so. Thus far I have seen little reason to think we're in dire straights in New Orleans. No one has told me how our prince became our prince, quite the opposite, I have only spoken to our illustrious sheriff the one time.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:12:53 PM)
*nodding her head a bit*I see...then you have been told nothing....Where shall I begin.....Prince Gamel was murdered by the Sabbat which iam certian you are aware of,that left the postion open for another to take...At Court one evening we all were presented with letters from the Elders of the City that included our Regent, Many believed the letters to be fact but in trhtuh they were falks and myself and Mensonge knew they were false the issue was conviencing others of such. The Regent was reluctant to shall we say rock the boat anymore than it had or has been so we as a Clan did nothing until the time was and is right..It seems that tiime is drawing nearer..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:15:51 PM)
So what your saying is we've a puppet prince that was instated by treachery rather than by a proper gathering of the clans primogen? *He pursed his lips* This would have been good to know a few nights ago. Oh well, the lot is cast. What would you have me do, as I am still answerable to you miss Montrose?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:22:43 PM)
*she gave a nod of her head*Indeed that is exactly what we have..And the reason the Elders have not attempted a coo is because I believe that she may have done somethign to them with the Discpline the Malkavians are gifted with. Do i know this for a fact no I do not,it is merely an assumption...Iam unsure if the other Clans are aware of this I can assume they do not considering nothing has been said or at least been whispered around the city..I want you to keep your eyes and ears open and never let your guard down..Keep track of everyone and remember being close to some is a benefit to the Clan...

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:23:01 PM)
For at times the information they tell the poeple they deem as friends is very valuble indeed..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:25:05 PM)
*he nodded* I am already attempting to make allies in the city, to keep my friends close and my enemies closer. I believe the Toreador Miss DeCuir is amused by me, as well as the one called Naji - I suspect he is Nos Feratu? In any event, I intend to create a network of contacts and I am already doing so with regards the cities legal circles. But enough with my horn blowing - you needed to speak with me?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:29:14 PM)
*she could not help but smirk*Ah so it is true,Ms.DeCuir is back that is intresting indeed..When you speak to her again would you mind relaying a messege to her? That I wish to speak to her very soon....And yes Naji is a Nosferatu i have spoken to him a few times but only briefly unfornatly perhaps I shall change that...No,the horn blowing as you say is a good thing indeed*a small smile crosses her face breaking that experssionless look on her face but it quickly fades* The fist part has already been covered the other is...Iam not Regent nor Primogen but I believe you should learn a few more Rituals to prepare yourself for what is to come,no matter what that might be...You do not need to take my advice of course..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:31:17 PM)
*He nodded* I need to learn not just a few, but a great many more rituals, as well as more of our core path of blood. I need to start my studies very soon - now that I am established of course.

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:31:49 PM)
ANd as to the matter of regent or primogen, it matters not, I am neonate and answerable to you, I shall be at your beck and call.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:34:36 PM)
*she gave a slight shaek of her head*I shall not abuse the power Mr.LaSalle I did not when I was Primogen,but I did hold the Tremere accountable and shall we say*slight pause*did not take any of there BS for the lack of a better term..I will admit it was nice to have a voice on the Council for it did indeed prove useful*nodding her head a bit*...As for you what you wish and need to learn,I do not mind helping you in this matter if you wish?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:35:06 PM)
I would be indebted....

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:35:19 PM)
(one sec. Phone)

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:37:37 PM)
*giving a slight nod of her head*Then what is it you wish learn..Iam knowledgable in a great many Rituals but by no means do I know them all...Do you have an idea of which Rituals you wish to learn? And how far are you with the Blood Path?(k)

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:42:13 PM)
I have advanced to the second degree of knowledge in the Path of Blood. In so far as rituals are concerned, I know deflection of wooden doom and the open passage, I need to expand my repertoire greatly - I would like to learn Encrypt Missive for one....

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:49:27 PM)
*nods*That is more so than most I shall say...Ah yes very nice Rituals indeed...*she has a thoughtful look on her face as if she were looking in a file in her mind* Im afraid I do not have the knowledge of that Ritual but it is indeed upon my list to learn...Perhaps,Mensonge knows of it?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:50:51 PM)
I will ask him, if I ever see him. The Sheriff is a scarce man, I suspect he is busy with something but I know not what.

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:51:56 PM)
(What's the password to the Tremere forum?)

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:52:06 PM)
(mundane)

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:53:54 PM)
*He thought for a moment* Defense of the Sacred Haven?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:55:31 PM)
(brb)

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:56:21 PM)
(brh)

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 8:57:26 PM)
*She gave a slight nod of her head*I do indeed know that..It is a very simple Ritual,are there any others you wish to learn?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 8:58:09 PM)
Quite, but as the saying goes, one step at a time.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:00:13 PM)
*nodding her head once again*Indeed this is true..But it is always a good idea to find those that know the Rituals you wish to learn so you will know who to seek out as a teacher,would you not agree? When did you wish to start learning this Ritual?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:00:49 PM)
Whenever you think it prudent. SHouldn't I ask the Regent as well?

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:01:10 PM)
I would hate to meet him the very first time and already be in hot water, so to speak.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:01:16 PM)
*nodding her head*Indeed you should...If you wish to speak to the Regent before hand that is very understandable..

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:01:38 PM)
I could not agree more,but I do not belive you would be such*subtle smile*

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:02:59 PM)
I will get his permission. For that matter I believe I will ask for permission to learn a few of them that are on my agenda, then proceed one at a time. In any event, I doubt he'll have an issue, it's not like we're over-flowing with eager neonates frothing at the mouth to learn movement of the mind and counter-thaumaturgy, is it?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:05:56 PM)
*That made her chuckle a bit*This is very true there are not...Just a side note if you wish to learn Movement of the Mind I can help you with this as well...But,do speak to the Regent first and we shall proceed from there..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:08:31 PM)
We live on the water, I would love to learn that path as well as Neptune's.

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:08:47 PM)
I intend to be as much a scholar of the paths as I can possibly be.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:11:23 PM)
*she gave a nod of her head*Indeed another excellent Path one i can help you with as well,when the time comes....*it was then that she gave him a bit more of a genuine smile*It seems Mr.LaSalle you and I shall get along just fine for that is semi close to what I transpire to be as well...

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:14:30 PM)
*he smiled* I'm not a pugilist like some of our other clan allies might be, nor am I a coward certainly, but I will be of little use to the clan in terms of thugish activity. Besides, true power only comes with knowledge and and influence. That's where my goals lie. Tell me, if I am not being too forward miss Montrose, in my efforts to establish legal influence in this city will I be stepping on your toes at all?

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:17:43 PM)
I coudl not agree with you more for I also am not one for fighting..I prefer to turn my efforts towards Knowledge as well..And no,Mr.LaSalle you would not be stepping on my toes,for I have other avenues to gain influence in..

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:18:25 PM)
*He nodded* Excellent. I fear more tangling with the blue-bloods, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be, stepping on the bosses toes, so to speak.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:19:19 PM)
I am afraid though I must depart from this conversation,for there are things I need to tend to before dawn draw near...I do hope you will forgive me*said as she stands up,then chuckles a bit*The Ventrue are few and far between in the city currently so Iam certain you will be safe for the time being..And Iam far from the boss,but Iam amused at the wording none the less...

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:21:09 PM)
*He nodded* Thank you for your time Miss Montrose. I appreciate yoru candor. I will speak with you soon I hope.

Anastasia Montrose (Nov 18, 2011 9:21:48 PM)
(I need sleep....thanks for the RP hun =-) nighters*smooches n runs*)*giving him a nod of her head*You are most welcome Mr.LaSalle,and Iam certain you will speak to me sooner than you think*and with that she walked out of the room and up the stairs to her room*

Marc LaSalle (Nov 18, 2011 9:21:57 PM)
(thank YOU!)
