The Ravenblack Grimoire

That’s interesting and I’d be really keen to talk with you about the difference in what you believe happened and my take on it.

You were one of the vamps I was going to tag about the black blood so maybe I can accost you soon and we can have a natter about what you just said?

That’s a rather new take on it and I’d be interested to hear your views on what’s been happening. So, if you’re keen, I’ll catch you later on your cellphone?

I did know The Scion's forbade black blood and oddly enough Murrz. I knew you'd take this stance too. I mean, how else could you play it. This IS your Second in Command we're talking about here. Obviously you can't go off your nut at him in public, that would be unsightly.

I'm not really sure if it means you're standing beside your clanmate in his time of wrong doing, or you're doing it because you can't admit he's done wrong OR (and here is the kicker) Saint Lestat has lied to you and told you he didn't do it.

Either way. It isn't childish to write this article. It is news. It is not my moral responsibility to ensure your Second in Command toes the line of your clan rules.

That's your job. It's not even my job to police your clan members and tattle about them to you when i know they're breaking your rules. That too, is your job.

If it's your stance that what you don't know you can't possibly be held resonsible for, then so be it. If from this article the only thing you've garnered is childish reporting, then so that be too.

But I would think you'd look at your SiC and ask some serious questions about his motives in this matter. *shrug*

But I think there are better people than I leading clans and maybe this is just your way too.

*stretches* I only report the news that is brought before me. I wasn't the one who went out and black blooded Murrz... remember that.

Archangel and Mandolin della Spada have ALWAYS blackblooded. They've been guilty of it for years. Why report old news?

This isn't old news. This is new news for a vampire that was recently reprimanded by God Ravenblack, killed off and has, upon reincarnation, employed the dark arts to rack up his blood.

*tuts*

WHILE being the Second in Command of a clan that has been quite outspoken AGAINST the use of black blood.

Thus the big differences in the two situations. I happen to like Lestat, quite an endearing fellow. I see he doesn't appreciate the fact this news got out and I further see you're not saying it's all a pack of lies.

So the key here is that we caught him, he's feeling the sting to his honour.

I further see that since you profess him as friend you're going to come here and speak out against quite a valid article. This is factual and it's well written (if I may say so myself). If Lestat hadn't done it, he wouldn't be feeling the sting and I further state that it isn't because I have an erection for him (if that were even possible) but the fact he in actuality created the situation by his act and is all mad he got caught.

Cest la vie.

My honour has absolutely nothing to do with your view of me.

You mean to tell me that honour is dictated by how one views themselves at the end of the day?! NO WAI!

Questioning you and you reporting skills is speaking out against your story? Hmm... Okay then, glad to have my motivations explained to me. I was completely confused as to what they were.

And as for something being old news, there are lots of people who don't even know what black blooding is at this point, much less those schooled in the art of it. I would think, being the great publication it is the Grim would want to cover all bases, and tell a complete story, not just forward a fews agenda. Or is the Grim writing for a narrow audience at this point?

The chip on your shoulder is showing and it sounds quite bitter.

If you think that an article on Black Blood is something The Grimoire should look at, then I'll certainly take that under advisement.

In fact, never let it be said that I don't take reader comments on board. I'll create a poll for this specific topi, talk to a few people and see what I can come up with by way of an informative black blood article.

Or if you'd like, maybe you'd like to write one yourself for us to publish here and that way you can ensure the points that you feel should be made, are.

I'm more than available for ideas should you have any in that area and would welcome an interest article from a freelance reporter should you feel the need to put your pen to paper and write something.

You just let me know.

This story was indeed well written, the fact of the matter is. Both vampires brought up for questioning have openly even said they're Black-Blooders (and proud of this fact).

This however is a good story (it's not someone most of us know let alone it being new news). The clan is against it. It was being done, the childer were being severed (and if he noticed it the first time around why didn't he perform the "magic" (ooc: disabled link) to begin with?). Such questions come to mind but if he wasn't up for an interview either not like you could had gotten such questions answered to begin with.

As for the Black-Blood story, perhaps you can get a Black-Blood to give some pointers for the story. After all sure there are many who would do it if they had an idea how to do it, but because it either doesn't work well for them or they haven't figured out the best way... *shrugs* they claim to dislike it.
