[Sodium_noir] Dusk Industries

[Antonia Bifano]

Mara Ravenclaw, Zoë and Christophe Basarab
Brujah
Dusk, Map room

>"Leadership of the Clan," Christophe responds "even at the city
level,  is  not  something  we  choose to pursue Mara. We do of
course understand that we have a certain commitment by blood to
our  consanguine, and as such we have our opinions as to who is
and  who is not suitable, but to take direct action would upset
the  wrong  people. If one is to operate in a city as an Elder,
it  usually  pays  not  to  draw attention to oneself as fae as
politics are concerned!"

Mara nods in reply.  Her Mentor had told her that sometimes it was wise to 
fly low and under the radar.  It was a strategy that had helped keep him 
alive for more than two hundred years.

>"In  effect," Zoë adds "that means that we would prefer to have
a  capable  Cainite  in  the position so that we do not need to
carry  the  slack.  Guinness was ineffectual as a leader and he
left  us  with  quite  alot of slack in fact. We sincerely hope
that  we can pass that burden on and return to our own pursuits
as quickly as possible."

Mara had met Guiness only once, and he didn't seem anything like Seattle's 
Brujah Prim.  He certainly took more interest in the personal well-being of 
his subjects, and was one of the first to truly welcome her to the city.  
Guiness's welcome, well, you couldn't really call it that.  She makes her 
observation brief.  "Yeah, you got that right."

"Besides,  one  can  have a greater effect on society as a King
maker  than  as  the  king"  Christophe  nods  in regard to his
present company "... or queen, themselves. And with the backing
of  the  Dusk  lineage, a prospective Primogen would be all but
assured Mara."

Mara smiles.  And really, she already knew that.  They were the kingmakers 
in the city and thus, she had to play nice with them.

>"Forgive  us for our arrogance but that is the truth here." Zoë
turned  absent  mindedly  to  a  stack  of books, fiddling with
them. "Montoya  would  accept any recommendation we made, based
simply on our previous offers of council."

"It's not arrogance if it's true."  She replies, leaning in closer.

"So,  the sixty four thousand dollar Question Mara," Christophe
smirked "would a position within the Camarilla appeal to you?"

Mara smiles at Christophe.   "I don't know, what exactly is the Primogen 
supposed to do?"   Greywolf had never covered that topic with her.  In most 
cities, even though she was old by Brujah standards, in the grand scheme, 
she was a Neonate, and few of them held such positions of power.  "And then 
the better question, would the Camarilla accept me?  According to the Prince 
of Seattle, I've already got two strikes against me, since I'm a neonate 
Sired by an Anarch."
