Episode 7 - Downtime

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Every Kindred schemes. Some for political gain, some for personal fulfillment, some for no better reason than to stave off the emptiness of a never-ending life. On any given night, every vampire is up to something, and its the interaction of those plans that causes the great wheels of Kindred society to spin. That Kindred are by nature a covetous and territorial sort only exacerbates the inevitable consequences when wants collide. Not every scheme begins as something grand, however, and plenty begin with honest intentions. That can never change the outcome, though. Undeath is a zero sum game. No matter your currency of choice, turf or prestige or plain hard cash, nothing can be gained except by taking it from someone else.

When Schmendrick enters under an elder Nosferatu’s tutelage to further her mastery of Obfuscate (11:48), does the world move? Will history teeter on the outcome of Ivy’s struggle to retain that what makes her human (27:29)? Should Chicago take note of the gifts bestowed by a grateful Prince (34:41) or the steps taken by a Regent to rid himself of a troublesome neonate (59:22)? What of the Nosferatu who chooses an unlikely retainer (1:22:30)? Or the ambitious Tremere whose dreams of higher station lead her to curl up to another clan’s Primogen (1:37:50)? No, of course not. But as those schemes mature? That’s another story.
