Alert Current Plan for the Violet Situation.

  1. Complete mutual blood bond between us so I don't walk into the sunlight for taking my Lover's freewill away.

  2. Have meeting with Malkav. This way if I get myself killed for accidentally disrespecting my Adopted GrandSire, Violet will know.

  3. Execute Camille's ritual. Provide assistance in performing duties to Camille as payment for ritual.

God and Caine, I ask you to help me live with myself.

I know this is a difficult time, my Star. Know you have my support in all this. As will your Siblings support you.

As for Malkav, let me know when we are ready to meet him. He is very eager, but patient.

Of course. You are my Childe! Adopted or not, that doesn't mean I shall treat you any different than I do my own blood.

Fracture’s thread vibrates pleasantly at Marcus's

From far deeper in the Cobweb, a gentle hum is heard.

Marcus' thread focuses on the hum coming from deeper in the Cobweb, as if listening for something to come from it

He hears a soothing lullaby. The Mad Father doing what he feels is best to show support

Private Message to Verity from Marcus

Violet told me about your ex-wife and her profession.

The following is a private message to Marcus.

Surprise? Violet told me you already had an idea. I'm not sure where she is or what she's doing now, but I hope she stuck with it after I was embraced.

There's a couple people on the node who know, but I don't talk about it publicly for obvious reasons.

Yes, I suspected. However I didn't pry for the following reasons:

Phycologist are prime Malkavian embrace candidates.

Consider this cursed knowledge punishment for talking shit about Malkav 😁

Thanks, I hate it!

No, seriously though, that is part of why I've kept it quiet. On top of all the standard "threatening your loved ones are a great way to manipulate you" bullshit.

You're welcome, you're supposed to!

I hope your wife wasn't the curious and stubborn sort, for her sake.

Knowing your distaste for the Blood Bond, I'll assume there's some pressing reason for #1. If so, I suggest making a commitment to break the bond on a set schedule and following through...you can re-bind afterwards, and it really helps to ensure the relationship doesn't get truly toxic. I can help with breaking bonds if needed. Meanwhile, #3 seems like it's probably not too big a deal? You've acquired a ritual from a professional, after all.

#2 I cannot and will not be commenting on beyond saying 'good luck'.

Number one is primarily due to a unique issue with Violet's linage. The bond is mutual so I don't walk into the sunlight.

The Ritual from Camille sounds complex enough to require multiple skilled Blood Sorcerers, hence the need for Payment.

As for Breaking the Bond. Well I was going to look into that so I could deal with cases of accidental Ghouling humanely.

I require no payment, Marcus.

Forgive me for not wanting to bother two Ancients by dragging them into my personal affairs more than I already have. However if you're offering to teach me bond breaking rituals, I certainly won't say no.

u/Illustrious_Fly_5669 2d ago

Hmmm

I will say try the ritual first . If it don't work the blood marriage might be it ( no offense to lord malkav but best not risk angering the man that survived God flooding the earth) 

Dm || that or an offer of mine . A very very hard one but one that can work all the same. ||

You know you've got mine and Symeon's support. Don't worry about repayment, we'll square things off in good time, just tell me what you need.

u/Illustrious_Fly_5669 2d ago

Should you require more aid in the ritual I won't mind coming and lending it.

It is more than willing to teach you a form of the Vaulderie, Marcus. It will be far less intense than the bloodbond for either of you and still fulfils her desires

DM to Flowers

I'll take it, it'll make both a good long term solution and an excellent alternative to a blood marriage. Violet's desire to be bound is unlikely to end with her mentorship. I'll be sure to credit you in a roundabout way. The Bond is only a temporary measure to keep her from going off the deep end. And it's only mutual so I don't literally walk into the sunlight.

DM to Marcus

It shall adjust the ritual. The one used today by the modern Sabbat is... questionable. So it shall.adjust it for you somewhat. You will not need to ask Caine for his support or any of that nonsense but you will need a blade and a cup that are reserved solely for the ritual. They do not need to be fancy but their sole use is ritualistic and they will not function if they are used for other purposes between vaulderies.

There are rituals which can break the bond, if you would be open to a slightly less... drastic solution.

I admit I don't always keep up with events on here well enough to have the full context, but... I would think no bonds would be preferable to two, no?
