Thinking again about City Council of Darkness and how I am counting the days until I finally have what I crave as a Spaniard who plays RPGs and as someone who has read Carmilla in detail: burocracy.
Some of you may have read Carmilla focusing on the lesbianism but don't let the lesbian vampire confuse you: killing a vampire, according to Carmilla (and Polidori's Vampire) requires way more burocracy than it seems. Dealing with vampires has more paperwork than peeling the garlic that scares the vampires in question and this is not spoken about enough in general, and in a story titled City Council of Darkness even less so.
LaVonte keeps trying to read the bylaws and his own coterie keeps doing something else, but I need him to go to the town hall only to find a secretary who is 73, should be retired but can't be bothered, doesn't know where any of the legal documents are and doesn't want to move from the chair. The town hall will close at 2 pm, they do not accept the intern to come and ask, doing a power of attorney for the intern is another whole thing because all those things are done in the morning and so, it is indeed easier to make a deal with Bigfoot than it is to work within the City Council itself.
