in reaction to the announcement by sylvia, jc could definitely step up to the "negotiate with raymond" option. i'd certainly love a thread with raymond in order to do that! jc has been working his way into a position of authority so that he CAN have some sort of say in the matter, and doing his best to rally the other vampires behind him in the process (those that approve of his way of doing things at any rate)

as far as other islington involvement in this i know that jc has a few supporters in the rest of the pc vampires! while he hasn't FORMALLY announced his intentions, i'd imagine that his rise in the ranks is starting to gain some attention. while he's been around in the city for a century or so now, this is the first time he's really thrown himself into the mix like this. how much does sylvia know about him/how would she feel about him making this push?

and for the rest of islington (for anyone else reading this!), where do you/your characters stand on the potential of him stepping up as the pc leader to overthrow raymond? would you be alright with me continuing along this line?
