Description
“We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.” – Albert Camus
There is no greater disquiet than the evening before an important event. For some, its an opportunity for deep and considered thought, a final act of reasoning before stepping over the precipice of decision. For others, its a chance for the tendrils of anxiety to latch hold; to strangle away the last chance for good judgement. The Kindred like to claim immortality gives them a cerebral distance from moments like these; that they approach their problems with an incisive reasoning only ages-long existence can develop. That, of course, is a lie.
With Malenkov subdued and Prince Jackson’s vote lurking behind the next sunset, our coterie depart for their respective havens to wait out the sun. The past few nights have been a wake-up call for those who thought they could hide from the political machinations of the Chicago Court, and Joshua (00:39), Ivy (29:58), Schmendrick (1:00:01) and Rebecca (1:25:09) are forced to reflect on this sudden change in circumstances. How are they handling the violence of the past nights? What do they make of their newest Kindred companions? And what guides their thoughts as they look toward Clan Lasombra, a historic vote, and their own role in history?

Prelude 3 - After: “All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” – Ellen GlasgowThere’s an irony in immortality. When you’re set to live forever, you become even more afraidof the things that can kill you. For Kindred, that means being forever-paranoid about the fourthings most likely to do you in: sunlight, fire, hunger, and other vampires. This is whyKindred tend to be creatures with strict routines. The better you know your surroundings andthe creatures that populate them, the easier it is to keep yourself safe. They need an awfully good reason to switch up the scenery. None of our characters were Embraced in the city they now call home — so how did they get here? Ivy LaRoux (1:17) and Joshua Crozier (19:35) are refugees of a sort, each fleeing their former homes under threat of Final Death. Schmendrick (34:00) and Rebecca Mitchell (47:33) arrive by choice — hunters, instead of the hunted.
