In contrast to the the last two weeks, this week was frantic indeed by the standards of the Emerald Domain (which would make it a serious contender anywhere, I should think). I have no doubt that my assistants and I will be kept happily dribbling vitriol for weeks on the aftermath alone!
It seems that the entire Toreador clan in Seattle has answered the distress call of a party in danger. The Prince's event on May 10th has attracted a small host of helping hands to see it goes off without a hitch. I'm told that Lily Carver's art gallery will in fact be a joint gallery with herself and the renowned craftsman Morris Tobias, apparently to be hosted at Smith Tower. I have yet to hear where the main event is to be, but one hopes it will be within easy distance of Smith Tower.
Roughly one month ago, an argument between Emelian Fantana and Ascanio Giovanni broke out in the gathering. I was out of the building at the time, and the most I have been able to gather of the matter since is that Emelian Fantana reportedly threatened Ascanio's ability to do business with the Kindred of the Emerald Domain if he continued to exhibit no progress in apprehending the Necromancy-wielding killer of Ariel Martin. In speaking to witnesses, I now believe that Emelian merely implied that Ascanio's business would be disrupted by the natural suspicions generated by the fraught circumstances of the times. All that Fantana had to add was that, should anyone wish to know the truth of the matter, they should contact him for full disclosure. Understandably antisocial behavior aside, I find Emelian Fantana's reluctance to discuss the issue with me to be a decidedly boring approach to defending oneself in the circumstances. I, for one, am not at all entertained.
Having learned my lesson in missing the argument between Emelian and Ascanio, I have elected to sponsor a number of Lesser Harpies so that I will have a much better chance of having dedicated witnesses at any event of scandalous significance. At this time, I have chosen the clever Lily Carver, the empathetic Will Scarlet and the observant Allegra Tali to be joining myself and Alice Harte as Lesser Harpies pro tem. At the end of next week (which also happens to be the last week of the contest, by the by) I will probably choose which of the three are to be permanent Lesser Harpies.
For providing her with needed information, the Prince has informed me that she finds Ikon Grey very shrewd in his business dealings. I concur, and am pleased tell the world of her praise of my clanmate.
It is always lovely to hear that others think the same of us as we think of ourselves; this is the least of the reasons I am pleased to hear that Prince Bella Maurice has welcomed a former friend of Hers onto Her Primogen Council. Drake has resumed the Gangrel seat on the Primogen Council, and tells me that in his observations of me about my duties, he came to the conclusion that I am an extraordinarily capable Harpy. I appreciate his sentiments deeply and look forward to working with him towards stability and the good of the Emerald Domain, though I dare say Drake could use a refresher course on his court etiquette.
As a final note, Prince Bella Maurice commands the attendance of all members of Her Court and Council at the next Gathering. Judging by Her expression when She instructed me to include this piece in the report, my personal advice is that those who find themselves unable to obey the Prince's directive to present themselves at the appropriate time might be best served by simply leaving town for a long while.

<<In this post:
- Emelian Fantana is stripped of *Entertaining* by Gayorg the Traveler as
Harpy. - Gayorg the Traveler as Harpy loans *Clever*, *Empathetic* and *Observant* to Lily Carver, Will Scarlet and Allegra Tali, respectively, as Lesser Harpies pro tem.
- Ikon Grey gains the trait *Shrewd* from Bella Maurice as Prince.
- Drake is now the Gangrel Primogen and gains the positional trait *Revered*.
- Drake as Gangrel Primogen loans *Capable* to Gayorg the Traveler as Harpy.>>
