Thread: Flames and Lies (Kaname Takashi & BloodandChocolate)

Ten years had changed a lot. The LA skyline, the creation of a highly popular art gallery, and a number of successful business adventures. Their relationship was stronger than ever, their beautiful home was built along the beach, and their sex lifethere werent any words to describe how fucking amazing that was. Unfortunately, there were also some things that didnt change. All of these problems started popping up the minute we allowed him on the council. Genesis simply sighed at the accusation. He was no stranger to this particular topic, none of the seven present vampires were actually, but no matter how their meetings began this was always were they ended up. The changelings grow bolder with each passing moment, it was a bad idea to place one of their own on the council. If Genesis was not here, then theyd have no reason to cause such a ruckus! Samuel McBride snarled, finger pointing at the vampire in question. Since his admittance into the council as the changeling representative, Genesis had experienced his share of woes. Death threats, formal protests, and even a few hours long speeches as to why he, and all changelings really, were unfit to even have a seat. Alas, times were changing wether or not people like Samuel McBride wanted them to or not. Genesis sighed and brought a hand to press against his forehead. It's not even feasible to blame me for this problem, in fact, most changelings are overjoyed with my position. It took my kind millennia to have a say in what goes on in our world and trust me when I say there are no complaints on our end. The changeling's blue eyes glared back. What he should have said was that the instigators were more than likely purebloods who were upset with his promotion, but to actually say that would cause a fight and Genesis wasn't there to point fingers like a petty child. Apparently that was Samuel's job. Jun Zhou, or Zhou Jun if you wanted to technically be correct, shook his head and clacked his teeth. He was the youngest vampire in the room, at about 300 years old mind you, and frankly he was getting tired of being sidetracked to this particular topic. Enough already, we discussed this numerous times Samuel, you need to move passed this. How can I move passed this when this is the main problem! The older pureblood yelled. May I remind you that Genesis has a history with making powerful vampires make bad decisions? How many of our kind has he lead to their ruin? Genesis rubbed at a temple as his eyes surveyed the others present. All were purebloods from the upper echelons of vampiric society, high nobility. McBride was right in some aspects, the ancient changeling was the odd man out. The only way he wasnt a minority was by gender. Adelaide Mowley was the lone woman of the group, standard age for someone on the high council, but also cunning and rutherless. On a more important note she was a friend to Genesis, especially after she assisted in freeing his lover the decade before. Clarence Blackwell and Alistair, no surname because he was just that old, were more friendly acquaintances. Blackwell was his lovers.well, grandfather and Alistair was just as old as Genesis and the two ancient vampires had a mutual and very quiet respect for one another. Dimitri Vedenin rounded out their 7 man team and he was just like McBride, all focused on the continuing power and purity of the true vampire race. For the most part they were the most progressive council to ever sit, but that didnt mean the last 10 years were easy. Genesis tried his best to be fair, looking over both the pureblood and changeling sides of a problem, and for the most part that meant he got to side with his people. The changeling wasnt the only fair one though, Adelaide, Alistair, Blackwell also tended to be quite logical, but McBride and Vedenin agreed with purebloods no matter the circumstances. Zhou on the other hand was a wild card, Genesis wasnt sure what would flitter through the youngers mind, but Zhou had made some interesting choices on various topics over the years. Please Samuel, Genesis is not the topic of this discussion. The fighting in New York is. You know, the one where a fight between several purebloods and changelings were caught on camera? Zhou stated, trying to steer the conversation to the matter at hand. When our problems start spilling out into the human world, it benefits no one. Agreed. Genesis voiced, he remembered the times when fear and hysteria drove humans to seek their kind out in their daylight resting places long ago. Many died and he did not wish for a repeat. When a fight breaks out an investigation should be done on all participants and punishment should be doled out accordingly. It shouldnt matter if the aggressors are purebloods or changelings. Thats all Im trying to say.
