** 1. Don't let anyone find out you're the person who locked down the block during the Prince's assassination. You were just fulfilling a Boon, though for the life of you, you can't remember who actually had that Boon over you. There's just a blank hole in your memory whenever you think of it. Either way, if anyone finds out it was your work which cleared the area of mortals right before the Prince was killed, you're definitely going to get blamed for the whole thing. 2. With a new Praxis comes a new Court. If Patience becomes Prince, Demoux's reputation will be in tatters, and none of the Ventrue will suffer him in charge. If MacDaniel gets the job, he's likely to have Demoux killed. Either way, Demoux's seat as Primogen is about to open up, find a way to convince the other Ventrue to support your claim for the title or, if Straff manages to replace Clan Primogen with Faction Primogen, convince the other Argonauts to back you.  3. The Nouveau Riche may be a bit on the crass side, but it would be foolish to disregard them for being youthful and inexperienced. That doesn't make them bad allies, it makes them wonderful catspaws. Formalize an alliance with Nouveau Riche: information, herd, and resources are all great options for making a deal. Even supporting Patience for Praxis, if she offers something good enough. **
