[So now you're in a dark, underground city and you're either:

a) a human, something close to human, and tagged with a collar and dog tags, a short robe and pants uniform, and the knowledge you're livestock. You're being brought to a noble's mansion for entertainment at a party.

b) exceedingly not human and visiting a party at a vampire noble's house. Maybe you're from out of town and you've been invited out of politeness.]

I'm the seventh founder of the vampire council, dear.

(Dear? I can't decide if Herr Forehead or Demon Lawyer is worse now.)

Seventh? How many founders are there total?

My my, interested in politics?

(I'm interested in finding a way out of this......)

Somewhat. I'm an attorney, so it's good to know these kinds of things, even if brief. Are you interested in not answering the question?

I'm afraid it's not something cattle need to concern themselves with.

Keh. Fine, fine, but I've seen plenty of your type fall hard and fast from their pedestals, and before you know it, you'll be chewing on the necks of hobos in the subway.

That's terribly rude.

I'm a lawyer, I'm not sure what you expected. You should probably keep my kind off your menu in the future, for the record. We're all a bit sour like that.

But I honestly was just trying to offer some free legal advice.

That's very kind, but unfortunately your human laws just don't apply here. It's a shame, but you'll need to study another four years if you ever hope to pass the bar in this city.

Please, politics work the same way no matter the species. That's just a simple fact.

[snorts]

And as much as I'd love to brush up on supernatural law, I'm preeetty sure I'm not going to get another four years to try.

Power and bloodline speak volumes in any culture, don't you think?

You might be right there, that is a tragedy.

Pretty much.

...............your sincerity is overwhelming, wow.

It would be fascinating wouldn't it, like seeing a monkey learn to do math.

I've seen orcas on the witness stand, and girls pulling tires out of hats. If that's the most fascinating analogy you can come up with you're living a pretty dull life.
