(1110) Jennifer, John, Ricardo, and Brenn

[wibblywobbly]

John didn't know if he would stay in Sacramento forever. Forever seemed like such a long time especially if one was immortal. Perhaps, at some point he will leave Sacramento, see the world learn what he could then maybe return. However, that was not now so he may as well be comfortable.

"You know, I do wonder why Younger Kindred who are unbound from their sires don't travel a lot? One would think, that once you became immortal you would want to expand your horizons and do all the things that you may not have been able to do while alive."

John says this almost as if he were asking himself this out load.

[Brenn Lawrence]

"You wonder why we don't travel often, Mr. McLean?" Brenn asked, a fox' grin slipping onto her features. "The reason should be clear: it's Fear. Fear of that wand'ring knight who rides across the sky on his steed of flame; Fear of the eyes that watch from the depths of the shadowed woods; Fear of the volcanic tempers of foreign Princes; Fear of the leagues upon leagues where no human treads, and perhaps most importantly, Fear of ourselves. It's a rare thing for a person to venture forth on the long roads, challenging whatever may come their way, after they've just been murdered... Once bitten, twice shy" she finished, her grin growing horribly wider.

[wibblywobbly]

John nods, Brenn had a way with words, making simple concepts like "the reason why we don't travel is because of Sun, other monsters, foreign city politics, the unknown and the beast." become masterpieces of the spoken language. However, the problem in her doing this is that it made her come off as a bit mouthy and maybe a little patronizing. Rule one John learned when he became a Comm Major, "communication should be simple and easy to follow to reach the largest demographic."

"Indeed Brenn, I guess travel then is not for the faint of heart. You know Brenn, forgive me if I am being to bold, but considering you are still looking for a covenant to join maybe you would be well suited for the Ordo, they certain could use young intellectuals who have keen observation skills such as yourself."

John's tone was sincere, He had a good feeling that she probably wouldn't be happy with the Invictus just as much as she was with the Carthians. If she already had a lot of Carthian sympathy and mentality the Invictus will only try to stifle that and make her fall into line with their philosophy. Free thinkers should be able to think free, and the two Bastions of free thought to John were the Carthians and the Ordo. Plus Martha was a Dragon so Brenn would certainly be in good hands.

[Brenn Lawrence]

The grin disappeared from Brenn's face, and her eyes widened somewhat in surprise.

"Um, thank you, John, for the compliment and the thought, but I don't think I'd fit in with the Dragons. They're a bit too fond of...the things which cannot be explained, and I'm rather hesitant when it comes to those topics. Ironic, perhaps, but true nevertheless," the Haunt explained, trying to keep her tone matter of fact.

[wibblywobbly]

John shrugs,

"Maybe, but from what I have seen they tend to be more scientific and philosophical in thought. However, I can see where you are coming from."

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"I'd agree," Jennifer nodded. "- that fear is a reason Kindred don't travel. Different domains; different rules; the uncertainty of the road..." She shakes her head.

"It can be a terrifying prospect."

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer nodded to Ricardo.

"I've heard tales that could only be described as horror stories about relocation gone bad."

The Nosferatu rose.

"I've enjoyed our conversation; Miss Lawrence; Mr. McLean. I appreciate your earlier honesty, Miss Lawrence. Maybe we can talk more later in the week."

Her Beast was snarling in her chest; yearning to move away from the stronger beasts around her.

"I bid you good eve; and I hope you are safe until we meet again."

[Brenn Lawrence]

"I...likewise enjoyed the conversation," Brenn said, after a pause. "Have a good evening, Ms. Hazelton. Perhaps we'll speak later."
