Re: The heat is on - Camarilla PCs ---GO FOR IT PLAYAZ!!!
The Prince shook his head and smirked when DJ came forward. "You are a Toreador. You wear your thoughts very close to the surface..." The prince eyed DJ with a curious(?) expression. He was quite difficult to read when he wanted to be. But then, the guy who held all the cards in the deck usually was.
"You have balls. A set of big, brass ones. Don't ever let anyone take them from you. Especially neonates like these in this room. You don't answer to them. Your sire is Dora Delavergne." The prince narrowed his eyes and then leaned back, tapping his cigar in the ashtray once more. It was about halfway gone now. "Your proper attire set out for you this evening was done on purpose. It was educational. It was not meant as ridicule, and the education wasn't yours, but everyone else's. You see, here you are, walking up in here looking like a fool, getting smacked around by kindred who had no business - Courtney aside - to do so, and yet with the drop of a dime, you switched it up and are now one of the more impressive members of this room to look at. You're being congratulated by the prince for having a huge set of balls. Who looks like the idiot now?"
Dragon paused. He inhaled and exhaled again from the cigar. The cherry on the end glowed an impressive orange color. "You are a catalyst DJ. You make things happen. That's something I personally appreciate. It's a personality trait that reminds me, of, well, me. My ascension to power isn't as mythological as many elders would have you believe. It's just that I don't accept the status quo. The only way to get ahead of your peers in this world of darkness is to do what they are not doing and make a big enough splash that they are forced to notice and acknowledge. Do you understand?"
The prince cocked his head to the side, set the cigar down, and moved to the other side of the room so that all eyes had to turn to be on him. He went for a new "chalice" of blood. This time he went directly for the hard stuff, the Kuei-Jin vitae. "Which reminds me. In a few short weeks, Riley Ishikawa will be hosting something of a private, coming out party for Miranda Jane. I want you to get yourself noticed by Mary Jane. You want to be the DJ she wants there at that party. Your secondary purpose for being there will be to blow up Riley's spot. You don't want to trash her or make her look bad, just less cool. That in turn, will get back to Germaine, who will be annoyed, but unable to retaliate in any fashion without earning herself the wrath of your sire." The prince smiled darkly. It was the same smile he gave Alexander a moment ago. Just like then, the smile was gone in an instant, the very same instant that gold and ivory cup reached his lips...
