Peridot didn’t expect the meeting to be in a hotel, but she was sure Cranston had his reasons for it. The driver insisted on escorting her inside, as if she was some fragile flower. It was most likely just for formality's sake, so she went with it. The front desk receptionist seemed rather dazed when Peridot approached her, though she successfully informed her of the direction of the meeting room. [color=82ca9d]“Thank you.”[/color] Peri said with a formal nod of her head and went on her way, waving politely to her driver/escort as she left. Peridot wanted to make up for her young age and inexperience by arriving as early as possible and quietly taking a seat. Prince Cranston said his piece once everyone had arrived, informing them that the Catholic Inquisition was back in full force, and they had already kidnapped the Kindred vice president, Nathaniel LaChance. This meeting was a call for volunteers. The first to respond was a fiery redheaded woman who offered the backing of her house and boldly asked for more information in a dramatic monologue. The second to speak up was also a beautiful redhead whose gender was [i]less discernable[/i] than the first. Peridot was surprised that they addressed her as ‘Neonate’ rather than what she more obviously was - a tremere. If there was one main social Pariah among Kindred circles, it was the Tremere clan, their mere existence as a bastard mix of alchemy and vampirism brought forth fear and suspicion among the other clans. And if this girl was considered a ‘Neonate’ what then would they think of her pathetic 54 years? Self-consciousness had Peridot sitting up a little straighter and carefully planning her words. She wanted to make Slick proud of choosing her for this mission, and that started with [i]not[/i] sounding like a naive child. It might be a low move, but Peri upped her [i]presence[/i] before speaking, so her words would be well-received. [color=82ca9d]“With more information, I too would gladly offer my blade for the Kindred cause.”[/color] Her words were theatrical and charming, keeping with Toreador fashion.
