PC-driven plot
It has come to my attention that a number of PCs playing in the NH-002-D Requiem game are lacking for things to do. As the player of the Prince in said Domain's Requiem Venue, I have some ability to potentially generate plot for you, if you are one of the aforementioned players. What I need from you, then, is as follows:
1). Your character's name. ( Read more... )
1). Your character's name. ( Read more... )
She'd like to stay in Portsmouth and have her allegiance there. It's just that she hasn't been given much reason to. Any time she offers assistance with anything she's shut down. She's starting to think it isn't fair, and with Justice as a virtue...well that's not good...
She might not bring messages herself, but she could call a bird for someone and command it to carry something for them. That could be done right in front of the sender.
Causing people to frenzy in private as a means of getting information out of them could be useful though, couldn't it?
I am going to Connecticon. She can do that, and OOC-ly I love getting ties for the new people. She can even send a message if something immediate crops up, by sending an animal with a note or having Pierce make an IC phone call. Also, the Cardinal will be at Connecticon... Will Cynric be in CT? If so, things could get very interesting...

Manipulating people is good, but it's a booming industry by Kindred standards; I'd say that something like 3 out of every 5 vampires are skilled manipulators, to one degree or another. I can't think of a good reason for Cynric to bring another such Kindred on board locally.
Building a courier service, maybe with Animalism-trained versions of carrier pigegons, for sensitive messages (the sort of thing you wouldn't send via post or e-mail) is a possibility. The trick is that such a thing would need a slow build, with Kindred being given reason to trust the service before they use it for any serious correspondence. (They'd need to believe that Ki could absolutely never, under any circumstances, violate the privacy of those that use the service. I have a few thoughts on how such a thing could be managed.) You know, doing something like this with owls or bats could be pretty damned classy...
As to the frenzy thing, I see that being more an "as needed" thing, if it would ever get used at all. I'm not going to go out of my way to find circumstances under which making someone frenzy is useful, since that tends to be the sort of event that ruins someone else's game. Sadly, under this system, you really can't use a frenzy to get information out of someone. They make a point of saying in the Requiem book that the Beast cannot speak and is incapable of rational thought.
Of the options we've discussed thus far, the courier service seems the most viable right now. If you have any other thoughts, though, I'd be more than happy to see what we can do with those, as well.
Unfortunately, I'm not actually going to be playing Cynric this weekend, so he's not going to be available for phone conversations and the like.
