How about this. The most distracting thing to a Toreador is... a fey noble...

Also, Riley has Supermodels.

I doubt Sebastian would be all that concerned with supermodels. Sebastian seems focused on artistic value over physical appearance. The Toreador curse is similar to the Ventrue's in that it can be tailored to the individual. Riley belongs in the fashion world, so it's a given she will seek out the physically beautiful, and while I doubt Sebastian wants to surround himself with those he finds ugly, I doubt super models would trigger the curse for him.
The Fae, on the other hand, likely still would as that deals with Supernatural Beauty.

Operation Glitterbomb! (a.k.a. Put the Duchess in a cake and have her leap out of it in the middle of a Toreador staff meeting, and they're all stupefied because it's like a cake that bursts open to fill the air with crushed Swarovski crystals.) (Yeah, I know Vampires don't eat cake, but the image is amazing, so just...like...let me have this one?)

To fix the Mote's little camera problem, is there any chance we could see a Technomancer Tremere come into play? It's apparently a controversial Thaumaturgical Path, but what a cool development to find in V20. Bouncing from device to device by projecting one's consciousness into the Internet, burning out electronics at range, magically encrypting data - I would love to see all of that demoed. (But hopefully not as the result of Stork losing Albert and having to create a new character.)

Uncle Stu Venable, if the fae are digging under the island and find the antediluvian, would it break their contract to do anything with it? It would seem to be interfering with the Kindred if they moved it or woke it or poked it with sticks.

If the fey are building some other structure that just happens to make the antideluvian inaccessible (without kindred interfering with the fey), I think that would be in the spirit and word of the contract. 🙂

Seems like the contract is also forcing them into a corner as signing the contract seems to prevent them from abandoning the island should things go sideways with Sebastian or the Sabbat. Anyone remember the exact wording of the contract?

Here's the text of the contract:
On this, the thirty-first day of Octobre, All Hallows' Eve, in this the Two Thousand and Sixteenth year of the mortal common era, I, Dutchess Ailios, Lady of Frost, Mistress to Ye Huntre, Lady in Waiting to Mab, Ye Queen of Air and Darkness, and duly bound Emissary to Her Will do hereby agree to the following terms with Adrienne Davenport, Prince of the Mote of Sin and Mistress of All Kindred of Her Demesne for the period of One Hundred Years and One Day.
In return for her Word to Protect Our Kind in residence on the Mote of Sin, to number between thirteen and twenty and two, from all Hostilities and Interferences from Ye Kindred, I will make available gold equaling the Prince’s weight each year at Midnight on each All Hallows’ Eve until this contract expires or is rendered void by any failure to comply with these terms.
Our Kind will remain hidden beneath the surface of the Mote, out of the sight of Mortal Kind, and will offer nary a hostile action or action of interference to Ye Kindred or Mortal Kind for the length of this Contract, or until it is rendered void by any failure to comply with these terms.
This Bound Contract, sign’d in Blood, is agreed upon by both Kindred and Sidhe alike:
Dutchess Ailios

I would say that's definitely making sure she can't just abandon the Mote if worse comes to worse. She's in it for the long haul, come rain or shine.

What stands out to me is the fact that if any kindred does harm to any fey on the island the contract is void. They also neglected to say that they would remain unseen by the kindred, they only said humans. And Adriane have to protect them from all kindred, that would mean an "anti deluvian" or Sebastian if he has plans conflicting with the fey. Ps. I think stu is lazy and wants ideas from the forum :-)

I would say that's definitely making sure she can't just abandon the Mote if worse comes to worse. She's in it for the long haul, come rain or shine. But if she abandons the mote then it doesn't really matter, she can declare her protection withdrawn and the contract voided. The only penalty in there is that the sidhe are then free to attack her but that just returns things to the status quo and anyway if it comes to abandoning the mote it probably means she's already under major attack from somebody. What's interesting to me is that the sidhe will not act against or be hostile to mortals but there is nothing requiring Adrienne to protect them from mortals. Or anything other than kindred for that matter (such as werewolves). There's also the fact that it only binds Adrienne to the terms, if Skully (the Prince in waiting?) takes over he wouldn't be bound by those terms.
