There are apparently contradictory statements in game about who Zephyr reports to, which certainly leads to some confusion.Is Zephyr in direct service to all the Archons, to the bald muscular one, or to the princeps (and/or the quaestor)?
I'm finding it weird that it seems like every power figure has access to her services, and yet she is never available for Sharon and the MC to be used as a messenger.
At the start of the story, she was presented in a way that made it seem like she served the muscular bald archon (forgot his name). But she continues to appear on behalf of other actors and now I'm confused.
Surely the princeps could command whoever he wished for whatever he wanted I guess, but it still seemed strange.
I don't mean to start any trouble, but I suppose it could be oversight/mistake on the author's part. She started as Marcius' messenger and was then "retconned" (without an actual retcon on the initial 3 chapters) to be the princeps messenger.There are apparently contradictory statements in game about who Zephyr reports to, which certainly leads to some confusion.
In ep1-3 we only encounter the Zephyr running messages for Marcius. In ep1 Andrew refers to her as "The archon's zephir".
But in ep3 when the Zephyr is delivering Marcius' invitation to meet, she states: "I am a messenger under the auspices of the princeps."
In ep4-5 the Zephyr is running messages for the Princeps, and she apparently has direct access to his quarters. So I believe the Zephyr has always been in service to the Princeps.
It's not entirely clear why she was running messages for Marcius, but not other Archons. Initially it was probably because at that stage other powerful people weren't aware of MC/Sharon, Marcius is the only one who wants to send messages to them. Alternatively it may be because Marcius was the most powerful Archon in the city so had more privileges.
If it's the former, and all Arcohn's have access to the Zephyr's services, then Sharon should too. Perhaps she does, but simply doesn't know. Sharon doesn't seem to know much about how the bosses run/do things.
IIRC nothingWhat happens when both carmen and laurie are marked?

Guys...it's a PTOLEMY script/game...along with the other 2 devs/writers in this 'team'...stuff like this is the norm unfortunately. Could be real top tier games if not for dodgy plots, suspect writing at times and very rushed nonsensical plot endings. All their games are the same. You know what you get from them at this point if you have been around the AVN scene a while. Better to just not question these things.I don't mean to start any trouble, but I suppose it could be oversight/mistake on the author's part.

Thing is that, assuming she's trustworthy in regards to how discreet she is (which shouldn't be assumed by anyone who isn't naive), she'd be a great help in some time saving scenarios in which characters go back and forth from the main city to Scottstown. But as of now she has been presented as a "tool" that others have and can use, but not the MC/Sharon.
Here you have to understand two things. Tradtional vampire lore and VTM Lore. Keeping the body you had at the time of your turning (this includes hair, facial hair etc etc) is very standard lore across the mythological genre (VTM exempted depending on the actual sub species of vampire, example being the Nos)Here's another question that has been bothering me a bit even though it's (probably) completely inconsequential:
Why is the quaestor fat?
I mean, I believe it's stated that the vamps bodies can't really undergo changes no matter how much exercise (or lack thereof) they do. And yet we have the quaestor being fat and Marcius being built like a tank.
The state of the person's body when they get turned is the one they keep for eternity? ...that'd kinda suck. Especially since I'd assume that during the process of turning, what with how much the MC and Laurie were sweating and in pain, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to think that the process itself would alter the body of the person undergoing the process.
yeah that and she charges a boon a year to be on retainer plus 2 to 5 bags or equally worth of fresh blood per service provided!There are apparently contradictory statements in game about who Zephyr reports to, which certainly leads to some confusion.

Why is the quaestor fat?
Yes. I know Rebirth's world is more like an interpretation of "vampire world" but if you are interested in details in official lore take a look at officialThe state of the person's body when they get turned is the one they keep for eternity?
Physiology
Vampires change considerably after the Embrace. When a vampire is Embraced, their internal organs atrophy, and almost all their bodily fluids are replaced by blood. Vampires use blood (also calledYou must be registered to see the links) for a variety of purposes; blood replaces most bodily fluids, so vampires will sweat blood and cry blood under certain circumstances. Blood is also used to get up and move; every night, vampires expend a certain amount of blood to rise.
In addition, vampires can use blood to enhance their physical attributes and use supernatural powers calledYou must be registered to see the links. Blood is used to Embrace, as noted above, and also to createYou must be registered to see the links. Finally, vampires can use blood to heal damage to their bodies.
Once Embraced, vampires become immortal and are locked into a form of stasis. Apart from wounds, vampires are restored to their condition at the time of Embrace every time they rise up for the night. This physical condition eventually extends to their mindsets as well; old vampires find it very hard to learn new things. While mostly incapable of eating food, vomiting it up almost instantly, vampires who have trained to do so can hold down food for longer before they must expel it from themselves, therefore keeping their façade ofYou must be registered to see the linksintact. As a result, the vampire is paler and generally thinner than they were before the Embrace. CertainYou must be registered to see the linkshave more extreme physical changes.
100% agree. It's getting old and boring.I don't know if it's just me who thinks this waking Ancient story is being dragged to Babylon. Gone are the times of MC acquiring new skills, using them in the story, becoming stronger than everyone, etc. Carmen is still a blessing though.
