6/02/02 - You Put Your Left Foot In, You Put Your Left Foot Out

Sometimes drastic measures need to be applied. The risks calculated, the gains evaluated, the distance measured.....

And so it was, that I threw down the gauntlet with Ren Several, of course, I've been irked recently over the many breaches of protocol, so I can admit that perhaps my calculated risk was not so calculated at all, one can only go so long watching the toreador moon over a boyish tremere like he's some new pop star, without getting a little irritated. The man needed a little wake-up call, I think he got it. Hopefully he'll put forth more of an effort with middle management now, and have the authority to deal with the nightly requests of an active kindred city, because God knows Arkady Filitov cannot manage on his own a city of this size and population. But he does need to loosen the reigns some to give his Seneschal the authority to deal with minor requests.

Of course, such things always come at a price. Aurora du Cleric, Several's current paramour, was very displeased that I abused the man so. Though her displeasure was nothing compared to the displeasure of Arkady Filitov. Suffice it to say, it was a very rough night. But all's well that ends well, Mr. Several was given more power, though the exact nature of it was still somewhat vague. It shall have to be tested, but by someone other than myself, for sure.
