All vampires are very political. Alliances and the various ties to each other are how we operate.
As I have said before, vampires cannot love. We keep track of each other, who is tied to whom and by what means.
Sometimes these ties get complicated. If an Old Vampire is very unlucky or careless, she or he can have Obligations to several Old Vampires, which can lead to two people asking her or him for conflicting things.
In the past this could get very messy for the Obligatee. Now The Hunters are allowed to get involved, this can get even messier.
If The Hunters hear of anything at all they can investigate any and all of the Old Vampires involved for whatever reason they like.
For us Old Vampires favours, Obligations and various political alliances take the place of friendships and love.
This is why humans rule the world instead of vampires. A human will do things for the love of friends, relations, country or people where a vampire will always, without exception, think “what’s in this for me?”
I have heard that some humans these days think this and I then wonder what the humans of today are coming to. How do they hope to maintain communities while they think this way? unless they use a structure such as we Old Vampires have.
I do not know how the New Vampires operate. All vampires cannot love so there must be some way that they tie their community together.
Maybe it is time to bleed the New Vampires in the prison for information. I am supplying blood to them, which for an Old Vampire constitutes a tie.
I don’t know what a New Vampire would think about that. I think it’s time to find out.
