Actually, in comparison to last year it's going slightly better? This time last year it was an all-out screaming fight, but thus far only two people have been punched.
[progress! morale boost!]
If our diamonds options are Armand, Danny, Devon or August, as far as physical strength goes my money is August or Danny. I find it equally suspicious that the two drained of blood -- Paul and Giles -- do not seem to have been fed from, which, according to a close companion of Armand’s, is near-impossible for vampires of that world.
I don't want our votes to fall in line with any prejudices -- against vampires or those who've committed past crimes. That destroys our credibility nearly as neatly as bickering in public would.
[looking DIRECTLY at you, stephen and tony.]
With the votes ending tonight -- who among all our allies would vote with us? My crew is three people, plus my boyfriend, plus Tim, possibly.
I, perhaps more than anyone here, would like to see all vampires exonerated for my beloved’s sake. Unfortunately, Giles was bitten in addition to being clawed, which could indicate he was fed from, at least partially. Spike inspected him and wouldn’t rule it out, as a vampire himself.
And with respect, past crimes are highly relevant when we are comparing the modus operandi of our killers. Is Castiel’s killing not in line with the attempts on Alina’s life last year and the murder of Embry in the church before the games? Both perpetrated by Danny Johnson, according to the notes you and Astarion have shared with me.
For numbers, Shadowheart, Astarion, and I are of the same world, and in alignment (3). Additionally, Astarion has been invited into a chat with all the vampires, where they have indicated their intent to close ranks and protect their own, if they don’t fall to infighting. I would say we can persuade 3 therein with confidence, though not if we favour Armand.
Interesting. Spike is also a Diamond, and has reason to hate Armand, for what it's worth. Vampiric rules do differ from one universe to the other...
And I agree entirely, Mr. Gale, if the evidence points to a past murderer or a vampire, I will trust in that evidence. I simply do not want those prejudices to be the only motivating factor, like they were last year. I want us to do better, this time.
Bearing in mind previous murders, yes, Danny's followed that same MO. My vote is squarely against Saber, as is Ani and Shadowheart's, but I do think this council should divvy our attentions between two, and no further.
A vampire chat? That's good. They'll be unfairly scrutinized and they should also stand as one. I consider Astarion a friend, along with Louis and Lestat. I don't want to see any of them unjustly accused.
