undergrounds | Greenwich Territory Claim (Backdated to August 10th)

Cooper was more than just a little dissatisfied with the way things were being run by Harris right now. He wasn't going after the head vampire directly. While he was known to make dumb decisions from time to time, Cooper wasn't as stupid as all that. But as long as they had their seat on the Night Council, he was content with the status quo. When they lost that and therefore their immunity to hunters, Cooper got more than just worried. He got a little scared. If the other factions thought they had lost their edge, they might come after them. So he decided it was time act first and show the other factions that there was still some teeth left to Islington.

He'd taken part in his own fair share of territory claims and come to know what worked and what didn't. To take over Greenwich, he decided that it was best to hit them hard and fast. If they could get an edge over the wolves before they really had a chance to react, they could take over with minimal fuss. So that was the plan: get in, strike hard, and take over. It all seemed rather simple to the vampire. And here people thought his aggressive tendencies were a bad thing.

So on the 10th, the vampires were going be hitting Greenwich with everything they had. If a few wolves got killed in the carnage, so be it. That was the price to pay for making sure that the message was clear: nobody messed with Islington.

Jean-Claude had pledged his participation in this territory dispute and he has stayed true to his word although truth be told he really hadn't had to do that much. Cooper seemed to have everything pretty much under control, the vampires had brought forth a good effort, and the opposing faction simply had not. He is honestly rather pleased with how the whole thing has gone down, and it shows on his face as he steps forward to congratulate the other vampire once everything has died down.

"A fine effort you have put forth here today, mon ami," Jean-Claude says, inclining his head toward the other vampire in greeting.

Cooper looks a little torn up and weary from the numerous scrapes he'd gotten into during the night. Still, he has enough energy to smile at Jean-Claude and flash him a thumbs up as a greeting. "Not bad for a young rip with more temper than sense, huh?" Cooper was the only one allowed to speak about himself like that. Truth be told, he's awful pleased to see the older vampire here. JC is one of the few in the nest right now that the younger vampire feels like he can rely on. And considering how things are bound to go south with Harris sooner rather than later, someone like that will be worth quite a lot when the time comes.

Jean-Claude is notably less ruffled than Cooper himself, though he is at least sporting a dashing cut across his cheek to demonstrate that he had participated in the fight after all -- make no mistake for that matter, he had made that werewolf pay for what they had done.

"Not bad at all, no," he says. The results are certainly better than the last time that Jean-Claude had tried to lead a faction claim, although this claim wasn't against one of the strongest factions in the city, nor was Cooper making it one-on-one against a friend in quite so... Flamboyant a way.

He tilts his head at the other vampire. "How would you rate our efforts here?"

Cooper seems to consider the question with some seriousness. He runs his hand through his hair as he thinks. "A seven out of ten." Better than the last time he'd been involved in a territory claim with Jean-Claude, but hey, they couldn't win them all. Anyway, at least it was better than the bright idea of facing off in a duel.

"Points off for the young ones thinkin' this is some tea party instead of an actual conflict." Maybe he was just getting old, but Cooper thought there should be a little more seriousness when it came to taking over the territories of the other factions.

"Ah," Jean-Claude replies, glancing over at the younger vampires in question, "perhaps this is true. But you cannot ever expect to have full cooperation of the masses. We are vampires after all, mon ami," he adds, turning back to Cooper with the flick of a smile. "One might argue that it is in our nature to be somewhat rebellious."

He smiles wider before continuing, "They will learn, in time. You are happy with our efforts in general however, non? And we have won. These are things to be celebrated."
