    Mason was very confused. No so long ago, he was still a mortal. In fact that was barely a week ago. And even though, he managed to understand two of the most important rules of vampiric survival (namely staying away from the sun and drinking blood), he was still dangerously ignorant of what Kindred life entailed.

    He felt kind of hungry, hunting was still very difficult for him. Even though his heart was not beating, he could feel the pulsating blood in his veins growing dangerously thin. It was time for dinner. But where could he find someone to sink his teeth into ? While he was pondering the idea, he came across a bar.

    The name 'Trax' was spelled in worn out painted letter (a bad job by the way) and the place seemed to be a haven for all kind of low lifes. It could be dangerous, but it could also mean an opportunity to feed. Maybe one of the patron would leave the rat hole a bit drunk and vulnerable. And if he or she happened to be roughed up a little by Mason ... well that's life for you. Also, maybe this would not leave a blip in the police's radar considering the neighbourhood,which was always a plus.

    The bar had already a few customer drinking and talking around. Somehow, Mason felt uneasy, without knowing exactly why. He seized up the environment, checking for ways in and ways out and ,in an effort to act normal,, walked toward the bar to to order a drink. He had nine dollars and seventy cents, hopefully enough to buy a beer. He sat on a stool and called for the bartender.

    '' Hi Dude, how much for a beer ? "

    Actually, he didn't know that if he did drink a beer, he would actually throw it up a bit later. While calling for the bartender and waiting for his drink, he discreetly watched all the other patrons in the bar, looking for the right victim to drain. Mason was still feeling very uneasy, scared even. What the fuck was wrong with him ? He tried to keep his cool and not show any sign of weakness. Hopefully, he would feed soon.

    "Juan." Owen says in reply when the Gangrel greets him. Glancing towards Juan, he notices Julia but didn't see any need to greet her, still sore about their last 'social' experience.

    "Actually," said Isaac to Charlotte, pleasantly surprised, "I taught history myself. It seems we might have a lot to talk about." He was engaged enough in the conversation that the entrance of several humans into the bar caught him off guard. He looked at them for a moment, then nodded to Charlotte and gave his best smile. "I'd be delighted to continue this conversation sometime," he said. "How might I contact you?"

    His guard went up a little again when their table was approached by another Kindred. Whoever he was, it seemed he knew Gareth.

    "My night's fine," he said with a nod. "The name's Isaac. Who might you be?"

    Vorigan's leer was a little less focused on Julia's rack as she greeted him than usual. "Hello there," he said. It was as if he was distracted, both by the report, and by... regular folks. This late at night. Iiiinteresting.

    He gave the older looking man ordering the brews a nod and a flash of his eccentric smile. "That'll be ten, even," he said, accepting the twenty and returning him a ten dollar bill. He popped the three tops with the church key and handed the brewskis over. And just then, one of the subjects of his ire walked in. His crazy eyes locked directly on Owen for a moment longer than was safe for the young Nosferatu. "Owen, my boy," he said mockingly. "Where oh where is your friend? The quiet one? I have been just dying to speak with you both."

    The other guy coming in calling him 'dude' got an appraising look. "Ah, welcome to Trax. Three fifty," the Lord said. When the fuck did it get so busy in here?

    The older guy gave Vorigan a nod and headed off to join his friends at the pool table, who were now shooting pool and laughing to themselves. They accepted their drinks from their older amigo and carried on, although the girl was looking at Julia for a little longer than she ought to, although she was doing her best to cover it...

    "Owen." Charlotte nodded to the other Kindred. It was only polite and, if Vorigan singling him out was any indication, probably the last bit of politeness he'd get that night. Though whether the Nosferatu had screwed up somehow, or if Vorigan had just decided to make him tonight's object of ridicule, Charlotte couldn't be sure. If he was due a dressing-down, at the very least he'd be spared the indignity of it being in public.

    Until the little group clustered around the pool table had moved on, anyway.

    She glanced away when another Kindred approached her, Isaac and Gareth. Charlotte examined him carefully for a moment as her Beast calmed itself, then nodded. "Company is pleasently erudite tonight, and it doesn't look like a brawl will be breaking out any time soon, so I'd say so."

    The revelation that Isaac had also taught history caught Charlotte's attention, though. She took a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and, as the Mekhet noted down one of her disposable phone numbers, watched the Kine (at least, Charlotte presumed Kine) girl eying up Julia with a certain detached curiosity.

    More fool you if you go for it, dear. Can't imagine Jools over there'll use you for more than a light evening meal if you give her the opportunity.

    Shaking her head, Charlotte slipped the number across the table to Isaac.

    Julia turned her attention back towards the bar as she heard Vorigan talking to Owen, asking about what's his name? Kuruk! That's right, the Daeva thought to herself, rolling her eyes just thinking back about that one night. They were South Sacramento's version of Dumb & Dumber as far as she was concerned. It actually made her wonder how they had managed to survive this long, because they obviously lacked basic instincts...or maybe just common sense.

    The young Succubus glanced over to the pool table once more, watching the older guy take the beers to his buddies. Wait, was she just looking at me? The one girl had been looking at her, Julia was sure of it. Well, duh! That shouldn't be all that surprising, she thought to herself, letting out a soft chuckle. However, part of her wondered if it was just merely physical attraction, or if there was something else behind the way the brunette had been looking her way.

    Hmmm...

    Mason took a 5 dollar bill and handed it over to the bartender. As he did so, the young nosferatu noticed the weird mismatched eyes of the guy handing him over a beer as well as his foreign accent. Mason found him a bit creepy and wondered what the fuck this british guy was doing in the states. This bar, that neighbourhood .... Such a shitty place to end up.

    " Thanks for the beer man."


    After taking back the change, Mason thought that he would need to find some more money ... very soon. He took his beer and drinked a sip ... What the hell ! Beer tasted like shit ... as though he had drunk the ashes of his dearly departed grandfather ... well departed anyways. He kept this for himself though. He turned toward the bartender, maybe that one knew where to find work. He waited for an opportunity to ask him the question.

    '' Hum that's not exactly a guiness, but it'll do. By the way man, where a dude gotta go to find some work around here ? I could use some dead presidents ... I mean cash."


    While trying to engage the conversation with the bartender, he looked at the other patrons of the bar, engaged in various conversation and activities. He noticed Julia Hasting, which he found very hot ... and out of place in here. He also glanced at the guys playing pool, maybe some of them will be leaving on their own later on and would be easy prey. There were also a guy with strange looking eyes talking to the bartender. Mason also noticed another group of people engaged in conversation. He looked at them all with a fierce and predatory glare, waiting for a possible opportunity to feed on any of them.

    He was still feeling very nervous and a bit scared and still didn't know why the fuck he felt that way. Maybe the lack of bloody was making him edgy or maybe that was part of the vampire's gig, but he wasn't sure ....

    Gareth's beast flared up again as Juan entered. Interloper! It took considerable effort for Gareth the Beast to be quietened. Indeed, Gareth the Man had to admit he didn't particularly like Juan. First impressions had not been good. "Juan," he returned the brusque greeting. Gareth wasn't intending to start a fight, especially in front of probably-mortals, but he kept an eye on Juan.

    He also glanced over Mason as he asked Vorigan about work. "Lot of people looking for work these days it seems," he mused, primarly to Charlotte and Isaac but also to anyone nearby who cared to listen. "Employment's a buyer's market these days, though."

    Gareth remembered Roxie, the Regent, had been an arrogant, self aggrandizing bitch but then again, she was the Regent. That was a pretty good reason, if Gareth had to be honest. She could dust anyone in Trax without fear of repercussion, at least from 'polite society', whether anyone else on this shitty side of town would just let her away with it was another matter. Fear had ways of breeding resentment. Gareth remembered the old rhetoric; "Pride goes before a fall," and allowed himself a smirk.

    "I haven't seen Kuruk recently." Owen replies to Vorigan's inquiry, saying in a rather low voice so that the Lord and those close could hear. "Did you want to speak with the both of us or do wish to speak with us individually about the screw up that happened concerning those two girls? It's a rather hard night to forget given they were screaming as all three fled the scene."

    He waits for the Lord's statement.
