It seems as of recent nights, several of the cities kindred have been going missing. This is most perplexing as the Camarillas numbers have already been depleted from the recent war. There are suspicions around that these vampires are being experimented on, or used as food for true elders. Oddly there have also been a lot of kidnappings of mortals lately…..Perhaps something sinister is afoot.
This would be posted through all Elysium and known among all Kindred.
I Prince Marcel Guilbeau must leave the city for a brief period of time to handle some business within my home domain. I shall return soon and put an end to all of this bickering among my people, until that time I have chosen the Tremere Primogen Celes Lasaga to act as Prince. You will show Primogen Celes all of the respect a Prince deserves as she has full access to the powers of the throne.
As I leave to handle this business I feel I must inform everyone of a mighty battle that took place this very night. Myself, the acting Sheriff, the Scourge and a few others were attacked by a wild gang of Anarchs in an abandon parking lot. The reasons for being there are not of import at this time, please know that I will not be ending the truce with the Anarchs over this incident, but I shall be fully investigating the situation when I return. I commend the Scourge, the Sheriff and others on their quick actions and mighty skills, had if not of been for them you might find yourselves without a Prince. I will see that each of you is rewarded accordingly, very very soon.
Yours truly,
Prince Marcel Guilbeau
Posted inside of The Grand Theater via ghoul is the following message:
I Armande LaCroix hereby declare myself ruler of the Praxis known as LA. If the Tremere witch has the power to rule than allow her to end my reign. It is my intention to restore order to this domain.
The Camarilla is lead by the strong, any who would declare themselves Primogen must have personal power, any who claim a domain must defend it. Go and rebuild a strong Camarilla. -
Post Script:
I rescind the order of any place being declared an Elysium until I cast forth the Witch from the city. The right of life has been lifted from her and I declare her unwelcome in my Domain.
Prince's Decree
A Blood Hunt has been declared on Armande LaCouix by right of the Lextalionis and my status. He has made a challenge to the Princeship and the mistake of assuming that the Prince of Los Angeles is at a standing less than his own.
The places and meeting grounds of Elysium will remain the same while my seat as Prince is right and stable beneath me. I would remind all that violations of the Pax Vampirica, that protects all of these locations, are punishable by Lextalionis.
Any of my Court, Council or subjects whom accept and carry out this Blood Hunt will be praised highly and offered a minor Boon.
Remember:
Even under the rights of Lextalionis, any competition between Cainites to carry out the Prince's orders will not be tolerated. Those who disrespect your Prince disrespect the Camarilla. We are not made stronger by breaking the Tradtions of the Princedom, or Challenge.
If the Primogen Council wishes my removal, as is their right, I will accept a challenger of their choosing, not at the whim of a single Toreador.
My rule is the Law of the Camarilla.
Your Prince, Celes Lasaga
This would come to be known by all vampires within the city by any means required.
The Sheriff has been kidnapped out of an Alley off of Santa Monica. Wild and crazy stories as to what has happened have spread around the city, though the few facts that remain the same are this: She was kidnapped by multiple men wearing suits who exited a blacked out sedan with NY tags. No direction of travel has been confirmed as of yet. It is expected that anyone with any information will come forward.
A note would be posted in all Elysium on a piece of tan stationary with Gabriel Bennett written in the heading.
My childe, the Sheriff of Los Angeles Nikita Howell has been kidnapped as you all are aware. I have been charged by the Prince with forming a team to rescue the sheriff. Through research and the assistance of the Prince herself we have a very good idea of where the sheriff is being held. Who or what is holding her we are yet unaware, though I petition each of you of able body and mind to assist us with this task, it will certainly not be easy.
Nikita is a powerful woman, and to have been forcefully kidnapped must mean whatever we are to face is very powerful indeed.
Gabriel's signature would adorn the bottom of the posting.
In all Elysium on a piece old scroll the following would be written.
In the recent nights there has been many events, some of these events have led to the death of very powerful and beloved Kindred within our society. The recent discovery of those behind the kidnappings has been most disturbing, and I will inform everyone the extent of that situation at our next court it not before then. Prince Lasaga has suffered a honorable death and in the wake I Gabriel Bennett of clan Brujah lay claim to the throne, you may wish to dispute this if you desire, however I have already sent word to the Justicars of what has transpired. Nikita Howell will be acting as my Seneschal for the time being until we can resolve some issues that are currently in place. I wish you all peace and safety and look forward to serving you again.
