1. Training Manuals for new concubi
Felixine raised the issue that many new concubi seem confused about their position and have made many mistakes in invading the dreams of mortals. (examples attached) She suggested a training course, written by their elders, to help alleviate this problem.
Diziere stated that she believed manuals would be alienating to young concubi, as they are sterile and lifeless. She suggested instead a mentoring program, with the young concubus given to an elder sister (crossed out, replaced with "sibling") to guide them. The pair would enter mortal's dreams together and work as a team until the young concubus was ready to strike out on her (crossed out, replaced with "their") own.
Felixine replied that all present were busy, and that two at once was coming on a little strong, wasn't it?
Polyxene said that Felixine was several things that have been stricken from the official record. Felixine replied in kind. Adelaida took Polyxene's side with more stricken remarks. A minor ruckus developed.
The gracious Lady Lisa restored order, and received thanks from Madam Alexandrie.
It was decided that the Joined Order would attempt a mixed approach of some hands-on training, with a manual for later reference. Valerinne, Felixine, and Zephyrine were put in charge of writing the manual. Carmele, Madelaina, Shantelle, and Sassandra volunteered to provide the hands-on training.
2. Discussion of concubi as a term
Magnus raised the objection that he disagreed with the term "concubus", as the vast majority of the room was succubi and he was, in fact, the only incubus in the castle. He related his feelings that such attempts at a joint order were just play-acting and the Most Elegant Guild could continue on their own for all he cared. (exact words have been stricken from the record)
Madam Alexandrie ordered Magnus to restrain his language. Magnus refused.
Diziere said that if Magnus wished there to be more incubi he could request more at any time. She suggested the reason for the lack of incubi was Magnus himself, and that more incubi would take a load of work off the Most Elegant Guild.
Magnus stated that Diziere's interruptions were unwelcome.
Aulaire indicated support of Diziere's words.
Magnus said that Aulaire would have trouble seducing a fishman, along with other things that have been stricken from the record.
Aulaire, Diziere, and Zephyrine registered objections to Magnus' words.
Madam Alexandrie forcibly restored order. She reminded the assembled concubi that the Joined Order had been agreed upon by both parties, and that a formal renegotiation would have to take place before it could be dissolved. She reminded all present that Joined Order meetings were rare, and it was an honor to attend. She asked if Magnus wished to undergo renegotiation. Magnus did not.
3. Relations with the witches
It was generally agreed that relations with the witches were strained. Various reasons why were discussed, from the fact that they are all fat cows who need broomsticks to fly to the fact that they think they own the castle and have been blatantly currying untoward favor with Lord Dracula and Lady Lisa.
The Lady Lisa interrupted at this point with a plea to remember that all were creatures of the castle, and should act as brothers and sisters of the night. She stated she believed the Witches' Coven be a valuable part of castle life, and wished for better relations between the witches and the succubi (crossed out, replaced with "concubi", crossed out, replaced with "succubi" in a different hand).
Madam Alexandrie thanked Lady Lisa for her words, and stated that better relations were indeed the goal of all present. She stated the last part very firmly.
Eliacinthe proposed a small dinner between representatives, mediated by a representative of the Fighting Order of Lilliths. Amaranthine seconded, and the motion was carried. A small dinner, with representatives to be decided, was scheduled for October 21st. Eliacinthe was drafted to write the invitation.
4. Honoring our lovely mistress, the Lady Lisa
As the final item on the agenda, Lady Lisa was honored with a membership in the Most Elegant Guild at the rank of IHetaera/I. Magnus stated that being a Distinguished Gentleman required one to be male, and that was no fault of Lady Lisa, and that he fully supported all honors and would be happy to let her become a Distinguished Gentleman if she ever happened to become male. Lady Lisa accepted these words and honors gracefully.
With the honors, a full uniform was provided to Lady Lisa, in accordance to the rank of IHetaera/I. It was sewn with care, with markings to show Lady Lisa's grace, determination, charm, wit, and excellent breasts. (the last crossed out by an unknown hand, but is still legible)
The meeting broke up for drinks and socialization at 1:00 PM.
No Joined Order meeting is currently planned. The next meeting of the Most Elegant Guild of Succubi is scheduled for December 5th, 1457, at 10:00 PM.
