a house deep in the Swiss Alps
Alectz walked in the door having a conversation with herself.
"It's Halloween! I should be out pranking! What am I doing HERE?! I'm here because the elders sent me here and the elders do know best. That and they can put my head through the icebox if I piss them off. What icebox? There must be a icebox here somewhere. Is there a kitchen? But then why would we have a kitchen? Maybe we could hang up human ham hocks in it. FUN!! Where's the kitchen?! Wait a minute, I want to go pranking! But the elders told me not to! The elders are big balls of cheese!! That's not very nice. What's wrong with cheese?"
Luckily, no one else was around. Even Alectz herself wasn't all that sure how many voices in her head she was interacting with. As if that mattered. The house was utterly empty, save for a few small rodents that ran away when Alectz chased them. Her elders actually had sent her here, in one of their rare moments of collective coherency. But then they'd had the help of a few representatives of Clan Ventrue. Still, the elders had sent her here on a mission.
Damned if she remembered what that mission was.
Oh well, she'd figure that out later. Right now, the priority was pranking someone or something before midnight. And yes, it did have to be before midnight. It just did. That meant she only had 15 minutes left! One of her voices told her that there were supposed to be others coming, but they might not show up in time.
Alectz tore around the mansion, desperately seeking a prank. She charged up the flight of stairs at the back of the front entrance room and nearly collided with a wall. She spun around in circles a couple times and fell over. When she finally got back to her feet, she found herself standing at the front of a long hallway with several big doors on both sides. Upon closer inspection of one of these doors, she found a small double nameplate to the left of it.
Giovanni followed by Brujah.
"Great combination!" Alectz laughed to the voices in her head. These must be the room assignments. Funny they put the clan instead of the name. She walked down the hall, looking at the nameplates as she went.
Ventrue and Tremere.......Gangrel and Ravnos.......Assamite and Nosferatu.... At this point she reached the end of the hall (she was alerted to this by banging her knee on a small decorative table) and was forced to turn and come back down the other side. Toreador and Setite (that should be fun to watch)......Malkavian and Cappadocian.....Malkavian?!
"My room!" Alectz shouted excitedly, throwing open the door. It was a rather large room, containing a symmetrical setup of a bed, small table, desk, chair, and closet on either side. There was one big window directly across from the doorway, currently open, but it was flanked by heavy black curtains clearly intended to block out the rays of the sun. It was much too neat. Alectz would have to fix that later. After she found a prank. She ran out into the hallway, her time running short. But she was immediately distracted by the fact that there was one door she hadn't gotten too. She spun around to look at the nameplate on the door to the left of her room. Tzimisce and Lasombra. Not a big surprise, they were the only two clans left, and both Sabbat. Hm. Only one of each clan. She would have to try to remember what was going on. It was probably really interesting......
She spun around again and found herself facing the Venture and Tremere room. And suddenly her prank lay before her.
She glanced around nervously and strained her senses to detect any movement downstairs. Luckily, there was none. This was, in a way, below her caliber of pranking, but with midnight only moments away, she didn't have a choice. She couldn't pass a whole Halloween without pranking someone!
Alectz slid the Lasombra nameplate out of it's place. She then tiptoed across the hallway and did the same to the Tremere plate. Then, tucking Tremere under her arm, she pushed Lasombra in under Ventrue. She slinked back across the hall and slipped Tremere in Lasombra's former place. The placards now read Ventrue and Lasombra; Tzimisce and Tremere.
Alectz laughed maniacally. This wasn't such a bad prank after all! The real fun would come from watching the heads of the Camarilla and the heads of the Sabbat having to share sleeping quarters. The prank that keeps on pranking. Best of them all.
As midnight tolled, the Malkavian skipped down the stairs and deposited herself in the middle of the foyer, congratulating herself and her voices for a night well pranked.
