Exactly. And if those aren't vampires themselves, most other players we know won't have much problem with offing her head-on or in "horrible accident", and since Blair is involved, they had whole 15 years worth of opportunities. And then, there's magic - e.g. she could wear an accessory that would immobilize her before any trouble really started. Hence, the idea was something
other than "preventing ZOMGHORROR". Right?
This leaves us with a vampire who was obviously doomed to make a scene of exactly this sort, as likely as not on public, and someone who wanted to wait until this moment rather than somehow prevent it. It just fits together, no?

Ahh... and who
those would be?
If we agree they can't be Delacroix, the
only possibility is "other vampires": they don't want an eternal feud but would be inclined to overestimate danger of a single vampire. Which returns us to Dio and his relatives possibly about to visit the town after their little talk - but this in turn would introduce another player manipulating these events.
But if Blair's curator is anyone else, the only version left that fits all we have seen so far is mine. That is: a fairly transparent provocation from those self-congratulatory, panty raiding...
