Adashiri: Chessmen (A Mekhet Bloodline)

Every once in a while, I get an itch I’ve just got to scratch. A little while ago, I had an idea that really just came out of the question "Are there any Mekhet bloodlines with Dominate?"

I asked the question, looked at the answers, and didn’t see anything that fit the character I was thinking about. So, I made one up myself.

The Chessmen

So, I’m Reading the New Ventrue Book…

… and I have a question.

The new Bloodline has a rather… interesting disadvantage. They have to spend blood instead of Willpower to make their Disciplines work.

(double-take)

Wait. Wait a second. How is that a weakness? Because I’ve suddenly got a whole fridge full of Willpower points. And see that guy over there? He’s just waiting for me to suck all his willpower out of him.

I don’t understand how this is a weakness.

Hey, what’s this e-mail in mOMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!

Congratulations John Wick
 
You have been selected as the winner of the Rush Snakes & Arrows 2008 Contest.  You have won meet and greet privileges for you and a guest at the concert on 5-1-08 at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ. You are also now in the running to win one of 5 tour books autographed by the band.

So, you are the Attorney General…

There’s a child care national chain, you see. They’ve got hundreds of thousands of “shops” all across the country. The President of the chain discovers that thousands of his employees are sexually mollesting children. Thousands. And what does he do? He uses the profits from his company to pay off the families and move the abusers to a different store in a different state.

Now answer me this. If you were the Attorney General of the United States and you found out this was going on, what would you do?

Remember, the President of this company has been doing this for years. Decades. DECADES. He’s been hiding and protecting and defending child molestors.

You’re the Attorney General of the United States. You can ensure this man spends the rest of his life in prison. Would you prosecute?

Of course you would.

Now, the only question we have to answer is this. Why won’t the Attorney General do his job and arrest the Pope the second he sets foot on American soil?
