• Darkness Emergent Chicago

  Event Summary

  I had a most exciting time in Chicago. I had been sent by the prince of Salem (yes, I said "Prince". I know what any reader in the know about me would be questioning. We happen to get along and she knows that even though I am an anarch, I also possess excellent skills as a diplomat and try to look at the bigger picture of how this will make things better for all of us.). Her goal was to have me participate in the talks between the anarchs and the cams. Indeed, I did accomplish the goal. I got to the negotiating table through some rather....unconventional means. Everyone else did a task to earn their spots, which for the anarch side was to get members of both sides to sign a petition about three unjustly jailed anarchs in San Francisco (if memory serves). Well, I did try for a time, but everyone was swooping in and the task just wasn't working out. So when it was done, I found out that one of the anarchs really did not want to be a negotiator. So I went up to him and talked him into giving me the spot and the really cool pirate hat that went along with it (Pirates are cool!). I did get to sit at the table and try to be a cool and reasonable head, which I was, but I was pleasantly surprised when everyone else also seemed to be civil to each other. I had always thought those two side really didn't get along. I was pretty happy with how things ended up, especially with the Anarchs being allowed to take Vegas! I also was instrumental in the success of the faction that I belong to. It is known in English as The Wilted Lily. Our goal was to find a kindred who would tell a personal story of how he lost control of their beast. I knew just the person who could give us such a story! Now, now, I am not spilling the beans here and will go to my (eventual) grave with this secret. It cost me a great deal of resources and negotiations, but, in the end, I got the story. We performed it out for the Anarch teacher, who may have had information about the Beckoning, but I was not privy to whether or not he gave us the information we sought. Vegas looms and I am very much excited to attend to see the fruits of our negotiations and to help make sure that it stays a haven for Anarchs.
