“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).

Episode 1 - New Blood

“A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of society.”
– B. R. Amdbedkar

What are Kindred without politics? Clans and cities alike are held together by centuries-old treaties, the occasional promise, and an ever-shifting web of boons and debts. As much as any one vampire might prefer to live independent of these obligations, they can no more ignore political intrigue than a ship can ignore the wind. The current still nudges the vessel along, whether or not you choose to acknowledge it.

No doubt, our four Kindred have yet to realize the gravity of their errand. Chicago’s Prince offers little more than orders, even as he casts the coterie into the grandest of Kindred tides; the kind that shape sects and histories. What starts with a list of names passed via courier in a greasy diner (9:36) will see Ivy, Joshua, Schmendrick, and Rebecca wringing favors from the thin-blood lord of O’Hare Airport (49:16), trading secrets with an infamous Nosferatu broker (1:13:47), and making promises to one of Chicago’s most notorious Anarchs (1:37:44).

Episode 3 - Making Nice

“Hear no evil, speak no evil, and you won’t be invited to cocktail parties.”
– Oscar Wilde

Elysium is a place where Kindred can meet without fear of harm. No matter the city, violence and the use of Disciplines is strictly prohibited within its walls. The location — or locations, if a population is large enough — is usually of cultural signifiance. Theaters, operas, and museums are popular choices, but in Chicago? There’s no Elysium quite like the Succubus Club.

It’s important to note: “violence” doesn’t include scheming, plotting, or the myriad forms of social aggression that Kindred are capable of. After delivering their Lasombra charge(5:44), the coterie divvies up their time conversing with an Ashirra ambassador (17:22), the local Sheriff (26:46), an Anarch thirsty for Garou blood (31:06), and a Chantry colleague (37:41). But when the Prince takes the stage to make his big announcement (1:00:00)? We see just how much the sanctity of Elysium is worth.
