(This user has entered The Old mint (in the worldest smallest office)) (IP = 95.144.29.43)
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 3:44:18 PM)
*Joelle was sitting in her office. The one that was placed next to the prince. It was smaller than the other offices in the mint. Goodness knows it is much smaller than the prince's own closet. But she hadn't gotten an umgrade since her embrace. She was engrossed in something on her desk. Her normally Neat ventrue apperence a bit ruined from lack of personal detail and yes she was wearing sweat pants*
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 3:48:30 PM)
*Carla moved towards the Office where she's been directed, trying her best to pull on her best smile. Knocking three times she ran her hand over her pants as she tried to sort herself out a bit. She wore blue pin stripped pants with a sleeveless shirt with a Cowled neck. She wore a suit jakcet ofer the top her Ice White hair styled perfectly.*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 3:52:25 PM)
*She would purse her lips as she let the paper lay on the desk. She'd rise up and move to open the door for Carla* Hello Carla...You look nice today...its been along night please come in *she'd hold the door open wider and move back to her desk and start to strighten things up. Was it possiable for a vampire to look Sickly? who knew. But there was a curtain heavyness to the ventrue*
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 3:56:21 PM)
*She nodded her head gently, taking a step inside, her hands moving to rest upon her back* Miss Bellefontaine, thank you for seeing me. *She spoke softly, something more calm and gentlee about the Brujah than usual* I wont take up to much of your time, I know your a very busy woman
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 3:57:45 PM)
*she'd nod her head*thank you...its been *purseing her lips*...i have alot of work ahead of me *though she did note carla demeaner and her case took a curious one*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:00:14 PM)
I recently pass on word to my lord about how well you did Carla *She'd offer a tiny smile and then rub the corner of her eyes just a tiny bit*
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:00:53 PM)
Thank you Kindly.... *She gave a little smile before taking the empty seat, crossing her legs at the knee but sitting somewhat upright* But.... It's just I have been informed of... Some rather upsetting information.... *She glanced towards Joelle, her eyes moving over her a moment* And the words originally, or so I'm told, were uttered from your lips...
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:02:37 PM)
Ah...and what exactly did i say? *folding her hands together in the same manner her master does. Fingers laced bettween each other *
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:09:02 PM)
Well... That's just it Joelle... These words are... Unlike the woman I have grown to respect as a young Kindred like myself... But given who they came from I have been forced to clear them up.... As I find them rather upsetting... As I stated on the phone. *She moistened her lips before she continued* Whilst attempting to gain the support of the Primogens upon the Council, I was informed that one of the Reasons why I would never become Primogen to the Brujah was because I had fallen out of the Princes Favour. Apparently, and this is onyl what I have been told, you stated that I have Cruel, and Mean to you in your time as a Ghoul within the Service of the Prince... *She canted her head softly, straining to think* Now... I could only think of one occassion where I -may- have snapped at you, and know that I would have appologised, and that was when I was placed under watch in the Cells after my return to Eddie and Our Prince... So, as you can see, I'm shocked that such words would be uttered.... Because I have n
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:09:18 PM)
never been anything but respectful and friendly towards you
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:14:51 PM)
On my first evening in town...you tryed to have me thrown out of Elysum ...another ghoul had to stand up in my place...you did not believe me...you did not believe who i was ....you did not trust the card that the prince had given me. The Old Mint is my lords domaine ....I believe also you threatend me...told me you would be watching me...that you would punish me more than my master ever could if i stepped out of line
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:16:57 PM)
But to be honest.....i stopped really careing about that....*she'd look at Carla* you were unkind and brash ...i think that was just your way .....i forgave that way when *she'd purse her lips once more*....when you were taken by the sabbat
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:20:20 PM)
Carla it has always been my Job to be kind to the kindred of this city...To show everyone a degree of kindness...even people like Alpha white...who were questionable and who did try to kill me in my sleep.....When you were taken by the sabbat...i saw you for what you are ....who you really are ....I saw a girl who is like me sort of....i saw someone who needed someone
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:22:56 PM)
*She nodded her head softly as she watched her* Yes... I had forgotten that... *She cleared her throat slightly* I was a foolish child at time Joelle... We all make our mistakes. I was paranoid and terrified for my own master... We had had Echo herself wander so carefree into our Elysium... But yes... I admitt I was a little... Over the top. But you will notice, I am still the same. Every new Kindred that walks through our doors I closely inspect, looking for signs... It's the person I've become thanks to them. *She listened to Joe's words and nodded* Had it not been for that spark of love I still held for Eddie, that jogging of my memory... Then maybe I would not have returned. But I have, and I've changed, maybe for the better... And I swear everything I did then was in an attempt to prove my loyality.... I never knew that I would have to repeat it all once I was Embraced.
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:24:03 PM)
I've clawed my way up from the deepst darkest places, literally.... I will not allow myself to be over looked, because of who my sire Was. I am not my Sire. Neither will I -ever- be.
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:27:11 PM)
I would lay down my life for anyone in the Court Joelle... More so you than anyone else. Because in those nights where I was not allowed to leave, -you- were the only one that gave me the time of day... And still, to this day, I sometimes think you are the only one that truely understands the grief that was caused towards me in those nights
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:30:45 PM)
Yes ...You were Carla...but i wanted to give you a second chance...and know this...i wasn't out to get you....Because when you did well i would inform my lord of how well you did....The thing about me is....what happends to me...happends to him. I may have been alright with that ....but he still remembers...granted i dont think he cares anymore....But Yes Elyssa was kind to me when i was a ghoul....when the kindred of this city did not even allow me to speak unless spoken to ....So i came to her about what bothered me ....*she'd sigh*....Carla...i will always be here to protect you...i mean Odviously i can't protect you physically...but you know...i'm a good listener ....I've even spared Brujah clan a couple of times because well...because of you and Eddy ....You know harpy crap
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:32:00 PM)
But recently in your rise to power you ...well you slighted me again and ...i didnt really understand why ...i mean now i understand but ...it doesn't make it anyless ...unpleasent *she'd take a deep breath* Do you recall a man known as sebastian Gray? the Ventrue Cowboy....the man aiming to be sherif ?
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:33:13 PM)
*She frowned a little and nodded her head once again* Vaugely .... Oh.. Wait... Yeah I know him. *She wrinkled her nose slightly, recalling how he'd used his Discplines to control her mind like an ass!*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:37:58 PM)
I'm not an idoit ....at least i curtainly hope i'm not....everything i say everything i do...everything like my sweat pants *she'd hold up her leg a tiny bit to show she is not in ventrue uniform* is always intentional ...these are really comfortable though*she'd clear her throat*....I had that beaten into me ....So the night i met Mr.Gray...I was already well aware of who he was were he was from ....his favorite color and why he was trapped in a time warp mentally
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:42:56 PM)
I informed him of the sistuation with the sabbat so far...all they had done and all we had done...and if he was a sabbat he would already know these things...since they are all public knownledge...and my job as the princes childe is to make sure people know what the fuck is going on .....when you entered and he started to call me well...an idoit who would tell someone anything and security breach and all that...not releasing...i'm a harpy..its my job to tell people things....Not just go around blackmailing them or slandering them ....He also talked about how he was going to be made shreif ....a man who commanded an air to him self...who seemed in charge...who appeared to be some buddy...ventrue do this all the time
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:46:16 PM)
He said you'd make a good deputy ...which you know carla i agree you would make a good deputy ...I know you want power carla...I know you want more than being called...that Ghoul who got her self captured ....I know it pains your heart so much to think you'll be known forever as the one who *she'd shake her head she didnt continue. She knew Carla knew these things to*....I know it hurts
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:48:42 PM)
But instead of standing up for me...you saw a ventrue who could make you something...make you something you so desperately want to be...someone who could give you a chance to prove your self ....So you stood beside him....It was the first Political thing i'd ever seen you do ....You told him that its not my fault i was the way i was...that i was an idoit or foolish or what ever it was you said....You Said i was the way i was ....because i had an easy life as a ghoul
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:54:49 PM)
*She nodded her head a little* I'm not politically minded Joelle... That's one thing Eddie left out... But do you wanna know what all this is really about? Why sometimes my mouth -does- go off the deep end with you?
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 4:56:13 PM)
Enlighten me carla?
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 4:59:19 PM)
Jealousy.... *She said simply, watching Joelle* You still have your Domitor, your Sire is still here, stll at your side and you at his. You know, like I know, that he would do all in his power to make sure nothing -serious- happened to you. I know you didn't have an -easy- Ghoulhood... Fuck who does? But you still have him, and he will guide you were you need to get to if you stray off your Path, like any good Sire would. Mines dead. And my Domitor can't even look me in the eyes because he know's he failed me... Why do you think he's returned to his Sire?
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:02:51 PM)
The childish side of my brain goes "Why does she get it? Why is it all so easy for her?" When I know it's not... Fuck your the -Princes- Childe... You have to prove yourself more than I ever have to. Your in the public eye every night. You mess up it makes him look bad. I fuck up *She shrugged her shoulders* People blame it on my blood
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:04:28 PM)
*She'd take a deep breath* Eddy loved you ...and you loved him....My Domintor...Ventrue are different..they are polite and *she'd hold up her hand unable to say what she really wanted to say*....You know how he was so close to me...during court...how i would sit so near him...stand so close to him...listen to his whispers....You know One Time Carla..He hugged me to ...it was the greatest 2 seconds of my life...before i released
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:06:29 PM)
there was a sabbat in the room...he was using me as a sheild ...Granted that was my job? But you have no idea....I mean seriously you know i use to have to baby sit spys to ....One time when they captured that horriable sabbat...He Made me watch her cell...Me! look at me...Oh oh! and alpha white...remember alpha white! he moved him in with me ...He tryed to kill me
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:06:35 PM)
realized*
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:07:58 PM)
But he didn't... And it made you Stronger Joe... Sometimes I think if Eddie had been like that with me, I wouldn't have been seen as a target. I wouldn't be sat here right now
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:12:10 PM)
*she'd chuckle a bit as if now this was all amusing*If i wasn't useful though...i'd be killed...if i breathed wrong..i'd be killed. The sad part is...he wasn't my first donimator ...He's been the kindest though never hit me ....*she'd look to Carla*...Carla You had love..thats something that helps us grow....But anyway Carla I'm not angery at you..and I am still your friend...i wouldnt have acted as i did when you staked xaiver if i wasn't....But somethings are beyond what i can do....now politics
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:13:26 PM)
*She held her hands up at the Xaiver comment* It was either that or the Ghouls would have killed him... I did what I thought was best
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:13:32 PM)
Are you ready for it...just please dont break anything in my pathic office *She'd move and take some glasses out of her draw and open a folder on her desk. She didnt really need glasses to read but...she felt it made her look alot smarter*
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:14:32 PM)
Yeah, fuckin' go for it girl... If needs be there was a guy smokin' a joint outside earlier, I'll go catch up with him *She gave a wink... Having taken everything in her stride.... So far*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:17:04 PM)
I have alot of people i need to meet with today...for various horriable reasons which i wont talk about...But...Your not ready to be Primogen...you said your self your not politically minded ....Carla know that i'm a harpy...and I could just not say this to you ...but say it to the court...know that i'm saying this because i want you to be better ...know that i'm telling You this and no one else
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:17:54 PM)
also...Im not charging you for this ...Mr.Poe would be having a shit fit right now if he knew
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:20:53 PM)
You need to learn how to play the game...The Politics game...a Primogen needs to be politically minded. Your getting there i can see it....But in the end boons to Primogens and gathering favor is only a slap to the princes face ....He told you no ...You need to find out why he told you no...and its not just because of how you behaved with me ....the Primogens are on the Princes Council
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:21:43 PM)
*She nodded her head as she listened, moistening her lips softly* Ok.. I can deal with that... *She cleared her throat* But the Brujah need a Primogen. And I took to the roll of Whip like a duck to water... Do you honestly belive that there's another Member of my Clan that would do any better? Jentry? I think not, she has a habit of pissin' off the wrong people.... Including our Elder. Xaiver's got his hads full with his Title, and that leaves the new guy.... Who took three weeks to even bother to find any of us
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:25:24 PM)
He wont put someone in place whom he can't trust to help him...that what Primogens do ...they are on on the council of the most powerful Kindred within the city ....Xaiver got more than his handsfull...He's got his mouth running ...it doesn't help that your always place with him......Carla your getting there...but you gotta play the game...No one wants to place someone in charge who is hot headed ....
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:28:51 PM)
Darling.... Brujah.. We're full of hot heads... *She smirked a little, shaking her head some* I've lost my temper once since the Prince basically laughed in my face. I'll pulled my finger out my ass and I pulled our Elysium out of thin air in three days, I've gathered support to become Primogen. The Council Belive in me, their just worried about backing someone who's Sire was trying to kill them all. I know I can do this Joelle....
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:30:08 PM)
I can't give you my support because the prince told you no .....You underminded the Prince Carla ...that is not a smart political move...You sit on his Council...it doesn't matter what the council thinks or feels...they are his Council
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:30:35 PM)
I've taken his words, Not offencsively, which we all know I could have. But I've pushed myself these last three weeks to prove myself. I know, that deep down, Gamel -knows- I can do this...
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:31:32 PM)
You took his words of No and you went and gathered support from his council...he said no and you went ahead and did things your way anyway...its his way...its his city ....this is his call...
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:33:09 PM)
.
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:38:05 PM)
*She was obviously bitting her lip, and simply nodded her head* Ok Joelle... That's fine. I know that I'm not completely foolish.... But then... I belive the Prince stated that it was pointless at the time... Not that it would never happen... So... Maybe this is a step in the right direction... I guess we'll see
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:43:47 PM)
((brb door!)
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:52:57 PM)
Carla....the prince is who you need the support of...those Primogens have screwed you over ...i'm sure they knew that their support wouldn't get you what you want ....you have no idea how angery i am ...I'm never angery ...no i'm upset right now
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:54:11 PM)
*She canted her head a little* Maybe they have... But it's my mistake to make Joelle...
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:55:40 PM)
*Her jaw was tigthend and she'd purse her lips once more* i should have came to you earlyer ....I made a deal with someone on your behalf
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:56:45 PM)
*She raised a brow slightly, leaning back in her seat* Oh?
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 5:59:16 PM)
I'm not to speak of it Carla...but know it was my attempt to ...reduce some of the burden that was placed upon you ....Now i have to contact a few others to speak with today ...i need to shower and find my suit
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 5:59:52 PM)
You can't speak of it,... And yet you tell me about it... What's the Deal joelle?
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 6:02:26 PM)
*she would rub her forhead a tiny but running fingers through her hair. Looking for all the world. Over worked and extremely stressed* You have strenched your self thin with boons ......I've collected some of your debt ...I Gave a great deal for the Major Boon You gave to Primogen Benson
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 6:05:11 PM)
*She watched her for a moment, nodding her head gently* Thank you Jeolle... But there was no need. It was very kind of you
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 6:09:31 PM)
are you kidding me?....what are friends for ....accept to make deals with malkivains ...so if you dont mind...i need to work on my serious face...and maybe attack a jogger
Carla Martinez (May 10, 2011 6:11:11 PM)
*She nodded her head a little, rising to her feet and brushing herself off* Thank you again Joelle... *She nodded her head respectfully, before she headed out*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 6:11:55 PM)
*as carla leaves joelle would let her face fall onto the desk with a groan.*
Joelle Bellefontaine (May 10, 2011 6:12:13 PM)
