two can keep a secret...if one of them is dead

I didn't know this was a real word. I thought it was just something White Wolf made up. Actually, I kind of thought it was a type of flower.

camarilla \kam-uh-RIL-uh; -REE-yuh\, noun:
A group of secret and often scheming advisers, as of a king; a cabal or clique.

Camarilla comes from Spanish, literally, "a small room," from Late Latin camera, "chamber" ("vault; arched roof" in Latin), from Greek kamara, "vault."

For those of you who aren't LARP dorks: In White Wolf games, the Camarilla used to be the group of vampires who worked together to make sure that mortals didn't know vampires existed. They tended to put vampires in influential places in the mortal world to accomplish this. Still tend to, and usually meet in Elysium (a little safe haven for vampires, one room) to talk about it. The Sabbat were the "bad" vampires who wanted mortals to know and fear vampires. Now there really isn't any single Sabbat, just a bunch of little outlaw groups who cause trouble on and off. It's much less morally ambiguous that way.

omg who wins?

IF YOU WOULD ABANDON THE URGE TO KILL

...a Man, my Son. Ask yourself first, this quick question. "Would I enjoy having him take my body and fuck me in bed as a woman?" If your answer is, yes. Then kill him. To kill life is the consummate of all fucking. This is the nearest any killer will come to know the consummation of a God Act. Herein also lay one of the secrets of Divinity. The choice of taking human life or sparing it.

I found this quote in a book I bought last year at a sale. I'm not telling you which book or which year it was published or who it was by. I just thought it was...striking.
