“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
-H.L. Mencken

Kindred do not believe in self-governance. The Camarilla has its Princes, Justicars, and Inner Council. The Sabbat has its Prisci, Cardinals, and Regent. Even the Anarchs, for all their brow-beating about the wisdom of the masses, still rely on their Barons and folk heroes. To be Kindred is to be subject to hierarchy. But not tonight. Prince Jackson has called Chicago’s Kindred together for a vote of singular importance: will the Lasombra be admitted into the city, and by extension, the Camarilla?

The coterie assembles in advance of the night’s gathering for a private meeting with an unusually nervous Prince Jackson (10:30) before he begins this singular convocation in earnest (20:14). As the crowd breaks into heated debate, the coterie sets about the difficult work of swaying the vote in their favor. Schemes of all sorts unfold, with Schmendrick enlisting the Nosferatu (25:52) while Joshua and Ivy add a democratic twist to the tabulation process (48:59), Gengis decides to call in a boon (57:16), and Ivy attempts to sway the Tremere out from under DuSable’s grip (1:12:33). The final vote will reveal the fruits of their plotting (1:32:48), but no matter which side wins? Chicago is going to change. Forever.

"The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision."
- Maimonides

Whatever peace the coterie had earned with their successful investigation of the Lasombra, the Diamond Yama, and Jason Newberry is shattered when a fresh summons arrives from the Prince. Kevin Jackson has big plans for Chicago's Primogen Council. The meeting is more than courtesy. With the rise and fall of certain clans now tied directly to the coterie's actions, they'll need the advance warning to prepare anew for political scrutiny -- and its consequences. They don't have to tackle the future alone, though -- an old ally is back from the shadows and ready to inject herself into the coterie's plans. Meanwhile, across the city, a certain Hound's investigation of outlaw Kindred operating out of Chicago's ports leads him to a grisly crime scene where both mortal and Kindred laws have been violated. The aftermath leaves him questioning his own conscience, and putting a fresh new problem in the coterie's lap.

This episode contains a graphic depictions of a violent assault against a woman. The scene begins at 1 hour 43 minutes, and continues for 4 minutes. If you find this kind of content uncomfortable or objectionable, please skip ahead at that time.

“Every houseguest brings you happiness. Some when they arrive, and some when they are leaving.”
– Confucius

When Kindred speak of hospitality, they’re not referring to the virtues of being a good host. Vampires are at their most vulnerable in the daysleep — to allow another Kindred into your home, to reveal the cradle in which you slumber, is to put yourself at risk, should the relationship sour. A Cainite only finds themselves under another’s roof in the most dire or strange of circumstances.

Unfortunately, the coterie has been thrust into very strange circumstances. They now await the arrival of their secret guests at O’Hare Airport, and soon learn why the Prince was so keen to keep these strangers away from prying eyes (13:15). Dangerous visitors are in town, and the coterie is responsible for keeping them safe until Elysium the following evening (26:47). Our four Kindred manage to deliver their charges to the Prince, but not without risk, and not without cost (54:26).

“Every thing must have a beginning, and that beginning must be linked to something that went before.”
– Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
Ms. Shelley was talking about a different kind of monster when she put that phrase to paper, but any Kindred with an ounce of self-awareness will tell you the same. Immortality doesn’t change who you are; it boils down your mortal neurosis. You want to know who a vampire really is? Figure out who they were before, then add a few decades’ worth of wallowing in those flaws.
In this prelude episode, we introduce our vampires: Ivy LaRoux (1:05), the perfection-obsessed Tremere consumed by her quest for praise; Joshua Crozier (12:22), the rage-blind Banu Haqim disguising bloodlust under the cloak of “justice;” Schmendrick (27:23), the crowd-shy Nosferatu who sacrificed her humanity to the Digital Age; and Rebecca Mitchell, the Gangrel frozen in time, unwilling to bend to the new millennium.
Welcome to The All Night Society, a Vampire: the Masquerade Camarilla chronicle.
