Christ on a pogo! Now that fuckin' baron wants to chime in on this. What. The. Hell!? Assholes and opinions and an open format ta do it. I'M NOT YOUR SECRETARY! This is the last onna these fuckin' things I'm postin. Do yer own dirty work. I'm out.
Distinguished Kindred of the Emerald Domain and August Citizens of Tacoma.
It is with heavy heart I pen this missive (which will not be edited by some imbecilic neonate). There is something about hardship that brings out the best and worst of people. I understand the pain of Seattle. Having suffered many a hardship myself, I can empathize with wishing direct, concise and permanent solutions to tragedy. I can understand the need to make someone an enemy. I can truly stand where you have stood and looked for those to blame.
I do not judge this. This is both natural and expected.
Beyond that, I am stated that I, Ricky Smith of Tacoma, will not be interfering with these issues. I did not create them, I am not exasperating them, I am simply standing apart of them.
Relief efforts will continue for the mortals who have lost the most and need a hand to shelter under. Tacoma remains a friend of Seattle and will send funds and influence to ease the pain of this blow as much as we can. It was not our doing, but it is the neighborly thing to do. It is the right thing to do. Those mortals who are displaced to within our borders will not be kept or tampered with; they will be free to relocate as they desire when their homes and hopes are properly repaired. Those business who were damaged will be aided as best we can. Those kindred who now look to outside for support (which I predict to be few) will find succor here for so long as the wish it in the spirit of unity and brotherly concern for our fellow Kindred.
Tacoma has extended this same offer to the Giovanni who also find themselves displaced with their fallen buildings and lost Domain. This is from long standing contracts with the Don of their faction. As mortals have 'emergency contact' information, so too did an agreement exist between the leaders of Tacoma and Fall City: should something terrible happen, you can stay here to figure out your next move.
Durante Giovanni has not been offered this harbor. Any Giovanni who raises a hand to Camarilla members and wishes to hide within my grasp will find themselves unwelcomed and squeezed. Any Camarilla member who violates my territory to bring their vendetta to by-standers will be detained.
The Anarchs are neutral in this mess. We are helping to fix the damage, but will not be mercenary forces for either side of this conflict. We will stay in our lands and hope for cooler temperaments to prevail.
I say this again so that all are clear: the guests of Tacoma have been given sanctuary, so long as they equally remain neutral. We will not be dragged into the conflict of giants. It is best to know your own frailties; entering this arena will surely bring death to the Anarchs.
Our thoughts are with you, Seattle. If my gang can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call upon me. We wish for a speedy recovery from this and a return to our pleasant, warm relations.
Baron Ricky Smith of Tacoma.
