So Dante is the new Prince.  He doesn't really impress me as a politician.  He'll be strong in controlling things, but I'm not sure how subtle he'll be.  It'll be fascinating to see how much influence Rafaella can exert.  But my opinion of Dante is mostly gut reaction to two things.  Firstly, he practically glowed with Presence at my party when he was introduced to me.  That's tacky.  Secondly, he asked whether I'm male or female.  That's foolish.  He simply needed an honorific or he couldn't comfortably address me.

I'm concerned about the attack that killed his brother.  It probably was aimed at him, and I'm not sure why.  I'm not sure who gains from having the city off balance.  I don't think that lack of a Prince is necessary for the culling, not with Primogen this powerful.  I'd suspect the Setites, but the ultimatum their mouthpiece tossed at us actually works better with Dante in power.  Rafaella on her own might start a war but wouldn't, I think, dare make peace.  Dante can do either depending on how he's pushed.

I need to figure out what the Setites are up to and how many factions are involved.  My usual tactics won't work in this case; I can't just kill them and find the proof afterward (or not at all).  I can't think that the clan's long term intentions are benign.  I hope Tressa comes back soon because I'd like to know how far the Tremere are willing to go to get Hathor.  Obviously, someone thinks I can get in the way or they wouldn't have called and threatened to kill George and Arthur.

So I'm back to sleeping in flowerpots.  It's exhausting, so I need to eat more often, but it's much harder to find a bat buried in a random plant some where in the city than to locate a human in a bed or even a human buried some where.  I do not want to be dug up by Setite minions while I'm asleep.  I don't like the chance of random excavation, but…  Better that than Setite minions.
