"I've decided to double down...Go Vic!" The woman jumps from the pool table to the floor. She is slender and therefore graceful in her movements.

Tobias flys through the air doing a flip and lands on his feet. He then falls on his left knee looking at Vic with a grimace on his face. His forehead curls into surprise as he realizes that was the hardest anyone has ever hit him. He is also surprised that Vic took the a shot from him and could still stand and not even show anything. "Vic, your good, here you deserve it". Pulling out 10 $100 bills he throws it on the floor. "I know when a man can fight better than me and that isn't too often."

Vic removes the blind fold and tosses back 2 of the bills and tosses 2 of them to the woman.
" You are a good brawler, but you can't win a fight against a superior opponent without prior knowledge of what they can do."
Vic clenches his fist and the pool table moves back to the center of the room directly over the circle. He motions to the bartender to give the man a drink. The bartender reaches into a cooler and pulls out a bottle labeled beer but smells of blood once it is opened.
The name is Victor... but anyone who has gotten their ass kicked by me can call me vic. and you......" HE stares into his eyes for a moment " You are a brujah..... the rage is just below the surface... you let your feelings betray you Tobias."

Tobias looks at Vic... takes the beer... "yes I am of the Brujah family, and if you keep talking like that I might have to call you Obi-Wan" . Tobias takes a drink of the beer... "Thanks for the beer. Your right never fight someone that you don't have proper intel about, but, I figured this would be a great way to make an introduction to people who think alike."

"Calling me Obi-Wan...... Victor-Wan Kenobi? lol More like Vic Skywalker. It took me years to figure out how to do what I do.... I think that my extensive training in Taikwondo actually helped..... it gave me a sense of peace."
Vic downs his "beer" and opening his hand another one slides from one end of the bar into his hand. he grins and waves his hand all jedi like speaks and takes a drink.
" This is not the beer you're looking for"

"ya. ya... and I want to go home and rethink my life too." Tobias takes a sip of beer and tips the bottle towards Vic.

"Now that is what I like to see!!! Someone with some willpower!" HE takes another sip of his "beer".
"So tell me Tobias.... You a Cammy? or you here with the rest of us who like to be free?"

"As a Brujah I like freedom, but, I also like some protection. The Cam has given me protection for many years. Now, some of the things I don't agree with, but I think eventually I might be able to make my own waves in the Cam. sometimes it's nice to have people who fight in other ways than just with their fist backing you" Tobias takes another sip, smiles and then says. "And those same people like a person who can actually fight with their hands especially when those monsters in the sabbat come around. Besides, it's not like those that are free don't answer to someone as well, isn't a baron just another name for a prince?"

"With one major exception. A Baron earned his, or her, title. WE don't put stock in your age or whether you are a neonate or an elder. What we care about is your acomplishments. I don't carry the status hardcore because I turned 65 this year. And yes that means I am incredibly young. but the next time you think about the Camarilla and their Elders are better policy...... Remember I just kicked your ass, on my own, without using celerity or any of the elder powers you have access to. Libertas my brother. Freedom without all that nasty diablerie business"
Vic was always quite a bit arrogant, but in this case his voice rings more with the truth of the current situation and not his arrogance. HE may not be the preacher his brother is but that doesn't mean he can't spread the word of libertas occasionally on his own

"eh, to each their own. I understand with you younger generations that the status game is stale, but we can't have people beating the unlife out of each other either. Remember there is always going to be rules no matter which way you go. I mean look what the Vandals said "America stands for freedom But if you think you're free Try walkin into a deli And urinating on the cheese""

"That is just plain jackassery.... and it sounds like something I would have done shortly after my embrace. As far as beating the un-life out of each other, I'd rather do that then bicker and backstab my friends and enemies. If I got a beef I solve it, I don't scheme and work some long play to screw the guy over. Just walk up to him, tell him he is being a fuck, and punch him in the face... If he accepts it as square, then great. If not then I kick his ass until he accepts it as square, nobody dies, nobody wastes their time scheming, everybody wins."
Vic chuckles and takes another swig.

"In some ways you're right and in others there is room for disagreement. Settleing disputes through fists is one thing for bloodsuckers like us, but what about the ones that are not equipped for hand to hand combat? We would possibly destroy a person that was not prepared for that. While survival of the fittest is part of unlife, there are different ways to measure fit."

The woman, who had faded into the background, comes out of the dark corner and up to Vic and the bartender. She sits away from Tobias. "Can I get a "beer" please?" Then turns to Vic and gives him a smile. "So much to do, so little time. It's nice to know that the cammies are still peddling their shit."

"Look, I'm not here recruiting for the Cam, that's not my job. Hell, I don't even have a job in this city for them. I just know it works for me. Doesn't mean we still can't be friendly to one another."

"I'm a friendly kinda person. I just think that the Cam and all it's glory is on the way out. I, like my friend Vic here, am free so I really don't care what you do. I just don't want the cammies to think that they have any power over me and mine."
