If you read an * it is to signify the word (formerly).
Those of you who have spent sometime in the city will remember the flamboyant and unrestrained MC Up-Roc when he arrived a few years ago. I personally felt like it was similar to a tropical storm. He was here, he was loud, he did his damage, and was gone.
That is how I prefer my storms: brief, destructive, and singular in their visitation.
(un)Fortunately we had the 'privilege' of playing host to yet another Storm of money shirts, uncalled-for bass, and an attitude of general disdain for our society. Mr. MC Up-Roc has, for quite sometime, held the favor of someone of considerable power. His status* had rivaled that of most Elders.
How so you might ask? Well it is rumored that "someone special" really likes his work and the cut of his jib and gave him an uncalled for amount of Prestation. Up-Roc himself will tell you it was all for the purpose of "...making sure no one could fuck with me." While I could go into great detail about how such a thought undermines the entire concept of Prestation this is not the time or place. Let it just suffice to say that should you actually get away with murder you, typically, should not gloat about it.
Despite whatever foul-play, random fortune, or Machiavellian machination there was behind his standing it has recently come under-fire.
The beginning of the end was when he was made Keeper. As Keeper you have quite the responsibility and in Seattle doubly so. Our Elysium's come under alarming attack and it is often unclear as to why. Mr. MC Up-Roc may have had a brilliant idea, he held Elysium in a location where almost no individual wanted to attend there-by deterring any desire to attack it from our enemies. But even beyond the questionably choice in local that could be over looked do to Age. It was perhaps the insistence that his club was his Domain. That is right, he asserts* that he can decide where he his the Eldest can claim Domain freely. And despite doing it, no-one seemed to question*. A curious quirk of Seattle perhaps?
Within the act of running said Elysium in said Domain he choose to 'abolish' the Upper-Deck. While true it is not a Tradition nor a letter of the law. It is unbecoming to say the very least to remove the comforts of our elders and those of high esteem. For if anyone, they have earned the comforts. But that is the line, you simply choose not to have an upper deck. You DO NOT use barbed words and a conflagrated temper to shout down your betters and insisting that you know best.
What caused such a discourse? Well it was a group of elders who choose to sit aside and apart from the other and proclaim their slice of bass induced hell the 'Upper-Deck.' Mr. MC Up-Roc decided that such was not 'fair' and that there could be NO Upper-Deck because we were ALL EQUAL.
I want that to set in.

A high-standing* member of the Camarilla believes that we Kindred are ALL equal. That is right, your standing does not matter to Mr. MC Up-Roc. Fledgling to Justicar, same guy really...just a different face.
Due to his outburst and his general disdain for our society it was spoken about and many were interested in being the one to actually set him straight. WHO would get the pleasure of cutting him off at the knees? It came down to the Harpy* Heron who removed "Worldly" from Mr. MC Up-Roc's name. Quite fitting really, and that is where this SHOULD end.
But alas, children will have their temper-tantrums. Mr. MC Up-Roc was astounded at the audacity of Harpy* Heron's actions against him. He whined to everyone that would listen: Neonates, Elders, rumor has it he was monologuing to a chair (Sources Pending). Even so he retained his position of Keeper. He was even given praise for his Tenacity by Prince Luthias (One of the Elders he had tried to shout down).
It was only after Miss Cecilia D'Amore of Clan Toreador began to hold gathering in a beautiful new location did his position come into question. As any student of history will tell you, people go where the waters are calmest. And so with the preponderance of Kindred attending Miss Cecilia D'Amore's "Sanctuary" she was named the new Keeper of Elysium.
It was after this that the pouting really began. Mr. MC Up-Roc choose to whine and moan about anything and everything Camarilla. And was offended when Miss Cecilia D'Amore decided to hold two Elysia. One in the Sanctuary and one in Club Underground. He was even asked to be the Host of Club Underground but I imagine could not bare the shame. So in a series of message runners and evasive tom-foolery it became clear what his intents were.
Mr. MC Up-Roc had said often and publicly that he would NOT be a host but if the Club Underground would remain and Elysia that he would had over the Keys to the new host and be done. When Dr. Kira Langston was asked to be host and sent with an Official Missive to Mr. MC Up-Roc he then changed his mind and said he NEEDED Miss Cecilia D'Amore to come down to Club Underground personally. And that until his demands were met that he would NOT ALLOW the Club Underground to be an Elysia. Rumor has it that he may have even be the one to set fire to his own Club in a bitter vengeance (Sources Pending).
Such action are not becoming of and Elder and not someone with his Prestation and so it was made known that Mr. MC Up-Roc was "Childish"(-).
Mr. Up-Roc was not quite done for the night. As the rest of the domain were throwing their wits and lives on the line to defend the domain from demons and Masquerade breaches he was having another fit. He DEMANDED to speak with the Prince and when granted his audience he choose to coat every "Penitent" word with bile, venom, and sarcasm. He causticly accused the Prince of things I feel are so outlandish and very "Childish(-)" that they need not be printed. It was only after the Prince gave Mr. MC Up-Roc words of reassurance and understanding to his frustrations that he did kneel and earnestly beg the forgiveness of our Prince Luthias.
While our Prince is "Noble" he is also just and such behavior can not go over looked. Prince Luthias would have it known that Mr. MC Up-Roc is "Impudent(-)".
What can be said of Mr. Up-Roc? He has had a rather rough couple of months in compared to his lush Unlife so far. His standing now sits as "Acknowledged, Tenacious, Exuberant, Penitent, Childish(-), and Impudent(-)." I would hope that he does not tarry out into the ranks of the Anarchs thinking that will show the Camarilla "what is what."
This brings me to the very core of the matter; WHO is Responsible for the (mis) Education of MC Up-Roc?
