With a turn Joseph leaves the scared one to his conversation and looks around for something else to talk with. The Beast pulls him towards a good looking kindred who feels young. He walks to John ( wibblywobbly ).
"Hello I'm Joseph, you new to Court?"
John turns to the man who was speaking to him,
"Actually no, I have been here for about two months now."
John offer's his hand for the man to shake,
"I'm John McLean, may I ask who you are?"

Joseph laughs as he shakes John's hand. "Well that explains it. Joseph Hartman, with the Ordo. I had a dirt nap for a few months." Joseph shrugs off the dirt nap, everyone has learning experiences.
"It's a Pleasure to meet you Mr. Hartman, and welcome back to the realm of the living... so to speak." John Laughs
"I'm a member of the Movement, and clan Daeva."

Once again newly thankful for his condition Joseph just smiles and shrugs. "Ya.. it's interesting trying to find a way to say it that isn't almost a joke, clan Ventrue."
"How is the movement doing?" Joseph asks quietly...stability among them would be interesting...
John lowers his voice,
"Well unfortunately our Prefect has left the city, however we do plan on having a meeting soon to elect a new one. So hopefully we will be up and running again soon."

Joseph nods with a small frown. "That does seem to happen often." He almost reaches the pat daeva on the arm but stops himself. Where did that come from.
"Best of luck at the meeting then?"
John smiles and nods,
"Thank you, we think it will be very productive. Anyway how is the Ordo?"

"Eh, it was well last I have heard. There hasn't been a meeting since I woke back up so just what I hear from the others. I have some thoughts that I need to share with the them soon." Joseph looks past John at Max and Martha. "Hopefully they will agree." He looks back at John. "But maybe not, surely things haven't been dulled while I was asleep."
John nods,
"I wouldn't know, I am not very familiar with the Internal affairs of the Ordo in the city. However I have always sort of had a respect for what the Ordo does, the belief that a Vampire can be more than just a Vampire, is something I have always respected."
John says this sincerely with a smile.
If it weren't for the fact that John didn't like the set up of the Ordo, and that he had never been much of a science kind of guy, he probably would have gone with the Ordo. However, ultimately John's heart truly did lie with the Movement.

John gets a sincere smile back. "I remember being displeased when I first learned of what I had become. I had the feeling that I had expected more, I refused to accept our limitations."
"heh"
"It kicked my ass too, well that refusal. I refused to play games shortly after as well, that didn't go well." The smile shifts to a half smile, the sort you give when you're busted. "But I'm here now." Joseph shrugs his shoulders, wondering just how he'd ended up in Sacramento from the midwest.
