Art Morgan let out a quiet laugh.<strong>"No problem, man. I know you need to keep your mind sharp. But if the other Tremere ever give you a break, or head out of town for the weekend or something, let me know and I'll pop around."</strong><br/><br/>Just then, the small band stops its playing and the lights dim for a moment. Three of the Harpies rise from their table. Helena Taylor and Cassandra begin walking toward a small stage that has been set up with a row of five chairs: four opulent, black leather-upholstered and padded chairs and a larger, more throne-like black leather chair in the middle with two on either side. Helena and Cassandra each take a seat, with Helena in the leftmost chair (stage left, that is) and Cassandra in chair next to her, the second chair counting from left to right.<br/><br/>Monica stands and addresses the crowd once it grows quiet.<strong>"We'll begin Elysium shortly. Everyone please take your seats."</strong>With that, she moves toward the stage, but rather than taking one of the chairs, she stands between Cassandra's chair and the center throne-like chair, such that she would be at the right hand of whomever sat on the throne.<br/><br/>Two other Kindred, a middle-aged balding man with dark-tinted glasses and a thin, blonde, angelic-looking man who doesn't look physically older than twenty, approach the stage from their separate locations. The older-looking man takes his seat on the outside, the fifth seat from left to right, and the younger man sits on the inside, near the throne.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://www.starz.com/PublishingImages/Originals/Boss/Cast/Season%202/Kane_BSS4_1024_Stylized_420x560.jpg)<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Dr. Edward Walker, Ventrue Primogen</span></span></div><br/><div align="center">(http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/alex-pettyfer.jpg)<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">Chas Voyager, Toreador Primogen</span></span></div><br/>At that moment, the band begins playing a modern, electric guitar take on "Hail to the Chief," which all Kindred, from the seated Primogen to those in the 'audience', take as a signal to stand. Across Elysium, everyone who had been seated rises from their seats and stands respectfully. A pair of double doors opens on stage right and walking out onto the stage is Prince Marcus Vitel with the Sheriff by his left side.<br/><br/>The Prince wears an expensive, custom tailored suit and similarly expensive Italian shoes. He takes his time walking across the stage to his throne, as though he knows that he absolutely owns the room. When he takes his seat, the Sheriff remains at his left hand, creating a regal image of Prince Marcus Vitel in the middle on his throne with his Seneschal at his right hand and his Sheriff at his left hand, with a pair of Primogen on each side.<br/><br/>Once he has taken his seat, the four Primogen and the rest of the crowd take theirs once again.<br/><br/>Monica Black, the Seneschal, begins speaking once again when the band ceases their playing.<strong>"I would like to thank you all for attending this evening. I would like to extend a special thanks to our Primogen for attending Elysium. Our Primogen in attendance this evening are Ms. Helena Taylor of Clan Tremere,"</strong>at which point she gestures to Helena Taylor, and continues gesturing at each of the Primogen as she calls their name.<strong>"Ms. Cassandra of Clan Malkavian, Mr. Chas Voyager of Clan Toreador, and Mr. Edward Walker of Clan Ventrue. Also in attendance is Sheriff Sofia Reyes, and let's extend our gratitude to Prince Marcus Vitel for attending Elysium this evening."</strong>When their names are called, Helena gives a warm smile and a friendly wave, Cassandra waves but her smile isn't as warm, Chas Voyager gives a perfunctory motion of his hand that is less a wave and more a motion to indicate that it was his name that was called, and Edward Walker gives a sort of gruff nod with a sour expression on his face. The Sheriff, standing almost at attention but scanning the crowd frequently, gives a short nod and her face does not change its expression from its sharp attentiveness. At the mention of the Prince's name and extending gratitude, the audience applauds.<br/><br/>When the applause dies down, the Seneschal begins speaking again.<strong>"Our first round of business will be the acceptance of Kindred new to the city and new to the blood. Anyone who has not been to an Elysium in our city before, please come forward now and form a line so that you may present yourself and gain permission to remain in the city."</strong><br/><br/>There is a location in front of the stage for a line to form.
