Description
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” -H.L. Mencken
Kindred do not believe in self-governance. The Camarilla has its Princes, Justicars, and Inner Council. The Sabbat has its Prisci, Cardinals, and Regent. Even the Anarchs, for all their brow-beating about the wisdom of the masses, still rely on their Barons and folk heroes. To be Kindred is to be subject to hierarchy. But not tonight. Prince Jackson has called Chicago’s Kindred together for a vote of singular importance: will the Lasombra be admitted into the city, and by extension, the Camarilla?
The coterie assembles in advance of the night’s gathering for a private meeting with an unusually nervous Prince Jackson (10:30) before he begins this singular convocation in earnest (20:14). As the crowd breaks into heated debate, the coterie sets about the difficult work of swaying the vote in their favor. Schemes of all sorts unfold, with Schmendrick enlisting the Nosferatu (25:52) while Joshua and Ivy add a democratic twist to the tabulation process (48:59), Gengis decides to call in a boon (57:16), and Ivy attempts to sway the Tremere out from under DuSable’s grip (1:12:33). The final vote will reveal the fruits of their plotting (1:32:48), but no matter which side wins? Chicago is going to change. Forever.

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.
