OOC: Passed verbally through the secretaries and gossips of the Ventrue Directorate:
"Did you hear about Pedder's new directive #121499-134? He slapped down Cole Shevlagn of Fargo. Considered him a bit too ambitious. (OOC: stripped of prestige) Now Shevlagn has to get the Directorate of the MidWest organized and unified or Pedder's going to be really pissed."
"Can I get a copy of that directive?"
"It should be in central files."
"How are we supposed to keep central files if Pedder keeps sending his edicts on stone tablets, visions, and delicate rice paper?"
(Elder walks into the boardroom.)
"So I definately think we should buy at that price, don't you?"
"Oh, definitely."
