4/13/02 - The New Regime

In the wake of Mr. Rieux's leaving, there was a short bout of chaos. Elena Hawkley, having abandoned her post as primogen, and what would seem to be a "tissy" over Reilly Ceatson's bad behavior. At one point, there was even a western styled shoot-out right outside the elysium between Elena and Reilly. No one was seriously injured but I was irked enough to leave both their asses in a bad area of town. It should be noted, that this measure would not have been taken if Ms. Hawkley hadn't expressed over and over that she was not the clan elder.

Meanwhile, the bid for praxis.... Eliza Fairhaven returns once Mr. Rieux has fled the city. Whether a meeting was called, or whether it just happened is anyone's guess. It was at this meeting that things turned though. Obviously, Ms. Fairhaven as Prince in light of the history here was less than palatable, so the only thing that one could do is suggest an alternative that everyone could agree on. The alternative came in the form of Arkady Filitov, Gangrel and sheriff at the time. After short deliberation, Filitov ascends. Eliza does another disappearing act, big surprise there.

It was maybe a week later that news that Reilly Ceatson had been murdered. A lot of circumstantial evidence points to the setites on this one. Probably wouldn't gain a conviction in a criminal trial, but I'm sure I'd win a civil case if it came down to it. Of course, Kindred society doesn't work in that way. Arkady Filitov stated that Reilly's death was at the hands of sabbat...then he said possibly lupines. Of course, there was even less proof or evidence of either of those cases. Case closed. At least officially.
