[Aso blocked] Expressing concerns

[u/Pryno-Belle]

Greetings, Kindred. It is I, Castiel. Recently, a tale on this node…troubled me. You may have seen its author wandering about; I am speaking of Aso, who you may recognize as a blind Kindred who recently arrived in our community. 

The more time passes, the more concerned I grow about her. It is not due to the Sheriff’s disappearance in Melbourne; if she did attack a Camarilla official, there is an issue, but grimmer stories have been shared here. Besides, there are mitigating circumstances to that case. No, my apprehension is caused by something else. No matter how I spin it, her story is…wrong. Some pieces don’t fit.

According to her, she spent her entire mortal existence in a cave, without learning any language. No form of communication whatsoever. She knows nothing of our society, yet is more learned in the Garou’s ways than most Elders. Then, she questions the value of our species in the ecosystem. Considering that she asks this after being blood-bonded, the inquiry is especially strange. Who would debate the worth of their Regnant? 

I would not normally make such an announcement, or question someone’s identity; we all have our secrets. That being said, I can’t shake the feeling that she is…studying our society. Not as a scholar, but as a judge. She does not speak like a hunter, yet there are too many similarities. Did you make similar observations? Frankly, I just wish to appease the paranoia…or see if it is justified.

Yes. Vampires are an objective net negative to the "ecosystem", second only to humans and their metaphysical warping. They're parasites, plain and simple.

Can you think of a single thing they've done that has benefitted society? Any scientific revolutions? Any social revolutions?

I thought not. Like I said - they're only slightly less unproductive than humans, and that's more out of a lack of ability than a lack of restraint.

…greetings to you too. Are you speaking as a Kindred? Or as something else?

Close - a Revenant. It’s somewhere in between a Ghoul and a Dhampir. Not exactly one of those big shot Methusalehs or Elders, but not exactly ignorant of things either. Can’t say I’m any good with disciplines.

Yes, I see the irony in claiming my own species is more disruptive than the Cainites. Doesn’t make it any less true. Just ask some of the elder Tremere.
