It's been so quiet lately, no explosions, no fires, nothing. Camille has been enjoying the peace and quiet, the calm has been almost surreal. Aside from some squabbling in her previous pack that ended in the pack breaking up there has been little or no drama since the last Esbat. She sits in one of the old warehouse Esbat locations reading, this is not uncommon as she enjoys reading but today her expression is pained as she flips through pages upon pages of dense material. She looks determined to make sense of the technical jargon in the booklet about security systems. Occasionally she takes a break from the book to take a sip from the steaming thermos on the ground next to her. She seems quite content in those moments, she closes her eyes to savor the warm blood and the seemingly endless silence. It even seems as though the city itself has gone quiet, the sirens of emergency vehicle's have become less frequent, there haven't been any rumors or news stories about any major upsets, it's been so much easier to sleep at night. Is this peace, or the calm before the storm? Who knows?

Lilith enters the warehouse, looking for her sire and only companion. Lilith didn't understand the breakup of the pack but she knew she had something to do with it. Lilith sees Camille sitting languidly. Lilith had just fed and had quite enjoyed it. (o.o.c. I'm to assume we've already moved into the mansion that you purchased). Lilith had found her prey on the internet. Lilith found technology to be a miracle. But, she had lured her prey off of a "chatroom". Her prey had been excited, thinking that Lilith was some innocent, 13 year old girl. Her prey was too stupid to realize that he, was, infact, the prey and not Lilith. By the time the pedophile realized this, it was too late. Lilith smiled grimly. She did so enjoy playing cat and mouse. "Hello Camille."

Jacob saunters in and gives a nod in greeting to the two women before sitting heavily down on a couch, his body looking bruised and battered from the almost continuous conflict he has been engaged in. The real damage is healed, of course, but the wear and tear lingers, compounded by a lack of real rest. He looks a bit troubled, as though his mind were focused elsewhere. "Greetings Camille, I am saddened to hear of the troubles in Opus X. It is a pity that a pack with such talent could not hold together. I trust you are well, despite the drama." He turns to Lilith almost as an afterthought. "And greetings to you . . . Lilith. Is it not?"

Issadhi enters the room, cane clacking on the floor as he makes his way over to an armchair. He is wearing a new hat, a black wool fedora with little silver skulls alternating with rings of the same material serving as the hat band. His skin is cracked and charred, and his posture suggests that he is exhausted as he falls heavily onto the armchair. As his eyes scan the room, meeting the gaze of each other person in the room, he smiles faintly, reaches up to his blackened visage and begins to speak. "It's... been a long few nights, but don't let me trouble you with my problems. Greetings to you all."

Lilith goes and sits at Camille's feet, resting her head in on Camille's knee. Her bear is clutched in her hands. Lilith is wearing a knee length, red and black plaid, pleated skirt, with a white, short sleeved collared blouse. Her red hair are in pigtails. Small splatters of blood mark her white knee socks and black mary janes. Lilith has the appearance of a fresh faced school girl; the blood marks and sadistic look in her eyes however say otherwise. Lilith warily eyes the two males who greated her. She doesn't like males. Males remind her of things Lilith whispers into her bear's ear "I don't like males." Lilith looks up at Camilles "Who are they?"

Camille looks up from her reading and smiles at her childe, gently stroking her hair, and then she smiles at the other two, she seems to be happy to have an excuse to put the booklet away in her bag, and nods in greeting to all of them as she picks up her thermos and takes a sip.
"These are some of our fellow sect mates Lilith, no need to worry, why don't you say hello and introduce yourself. Good evening gentlemen, it's very good to see others out and about, I was beginning to wonder where everyone had disappeared to. As for the break up of the pack, I'm not really concerned, I am still assisting them with their assigned duties. I would never allow the impertinence of one silly priest to negatively affect my duties to the sect, I simply refused to put up with his bullshit any more."
This is rather shocking, it is somewhat rare for her to curse, though it has been becoming more common lately.
"Can you imagine? He tried to tell me what my intentions were regarding my own childe, the nerve! He tried to tell me that I embraced her out of some warm fuzzy desire to grant her some sort of "mercy", I took an enemy of my enemy and gave her the opportunity to fight our mutual foes. This girl knows her place here,"
She gestures to Lilith's choice of seating arrangements.
"she knows that I gave her the power to take down the ones who oppressed her because it serves my own purposes, besides, in her previous form she was a sitting duck that the Giovanni could come steal away all to easily. She has more reason than anyone to be a loyal sect member, she knows what captivity is like and will gladly fight for for the freedom the Sabbat offers."
She focuses on the injuries sustained by the two who appear damaged.
"So, what happened to you two? And why wasn't I invited? I always love a chance for a good work out, if I can be of assistance in some way then do tell."

Lilith looks at the obviously battered men; coldly, Lilith hisses "Hello." Lilith smiles slyly. "She's right....I don't like rooms." Lilith sighs and absentmindedly pets her bear. "Someone's been in a tussel." Giggles Lilith sadisitically. Then, suddenlly, the thought that death may have been involved immediately captures Lilith's interest. Lilith catches the the eyes of the battered sect mates. "Did someone die? Death is fascinating....the ultimate ending, and yet, a beginning to something different..."

Camille's face grows cold, she grabs her childe's ear and turns the girl's face towards her with just enough force to get her attention and look in her eyes.
"Hush, of course people died, it's a regular occurrence in our activities. Let them speak, I'm sure they'll tell us all about it."
Camille's expression relaxes back into a smile and she caresses the girls face continuing to look into her eyes for a moment. Then she turns back to face her battered sect mates.
"So, what happened guys? You know you can count on us for support if you need it, right?"

Well there was considerable death involved, though fortunately none of our sectmates paid such a price. The Nameless, Bishop Tony and my self had a bit of a tussle, as Lilith so eloquently put it, with the Tremere's Chantry Guardians across the river. He smiles and stretches, looking at the newcomer's injuries. I fare better than you seem to sir. In truth, my fatigue is the result of repeatedly getting injured and healing. The body functions, but, as you may know, the process of healing some damage can be most exhausting. I would that you could have come with us on this fight, for we could have used as much help as we could amass. I am never entirely happy with trickery. but there are some lessons well learned in taking on the magikers.

Lilith looks at Jacob sharply at hearing this. She had been hearing things about the river but is unsure. "Are you...talking about Anne Arbor?"
