{SoC} Survivors of Cascadia • View topic - A drink at the vinoy, and more....

while signing his name on the one of many docterine that lay upon his desk, Syd began to crave a drink, this tedious and redundant work had finally gotten the best of him and he needed a break. He placed his hand on the office phone next to him and called for a limo. He sat blank faced for a minute after the call and debated whether or not to finish a few more papers, then deciding he had better wait outside for the limo, the drivers worked hard for there tips and would be there at any moment.
He began to wait outside when surely enough just as he had left the Elysium a long black limo had pulled up and a driver was instantaneosly kissing his ass and opening the door.
He told the driver they would be taking a dive over the bridge to a riverside city, known as 'the brinx' to a select few. they drove across the bridge and for the next 160 miles there was nothing, they then passed through what was an old coal mining district that had long since been abandoned. Traces of large tattered buildings, and out of date unusable equipment lay about the streets. They followed through the town and soon the to the west of the horizon there was mountains and to the east large hills, not a car had been seen for the past 120 miles. The Driver noticing the tank was nearing E began to utter something, when suddenly Syd noticed a Dirt road, a road any other person would have missed unless looking for it. Syd Blirted out "Right" and the Limo driver slammed his breaks and turned hard to the right.
They traveled uphill unto a slope that seemed to such a degree that no car could travel, But the limo made the incline and as they reached the top, a marvelous almost hidden city began to reveal itself.
Syd pointed and smiled, "The Brinx"
Syd announced he would be eating at The Vinoy, a dockside restraunt and told the driver how to get there...As they pulled into the restraunt the driver parked alongside 7 limos, in dropoff sectios. He got out and opened Syd's door for him. Syd shook his hand with $200 dollars in it. "Fill the tank and Keep the rest".. The driver nodded and quickly left.
Syd entered in satisfaction of the Marble pillars and floors. And at the abundance of space in which the restraunt held. He went to the bar where an abnormally huge man stand. His face was rough but trustworthy. Syd ordered a straight vodka, shoked at the unusual order of an unmixed drink, he said your not from around her are you. Syd liked the mans Blaintent Honesty, an attribute found in many but well done by this man, for he managed to do it without offense. Syd Ignored his question and asked what his name was. "Mike, but most call me BIG Mike" he replied. And syd could see why. The man had a little bit of a belly but you could not leave notice to his abnormally masculine arms.
"Very well Big Mike, what will it be?"
Mike stood for a moment analyzing the Ventrues eyes and body.
"Scotch on the rocks will suit you", and he began too poor a glass.
Syd took mental note of this man and began in discussion. He had learned this man had been tending bars in this town for nearly 13 years and had become quite revered for his drinks. He also learned of his two brother, twins that had become also quite well known with money to throw around, unfortunately they had been involved with a mafia family, the Rasoloni's who owned and ran a city similiar to this one on the otherside of the river. They had become bankrupt with a price on there heads after they were fronted the some of 1,000,000 in cocaine from a russian named Schlovic, a settite in business with the Rasolini family. Mike told him how they desperately needed help and where hiding. Syd had wondered why had been spilling all of this out to a complete stranger when he realised, he was asking him to save his brothers. The conversation had tightened and then the Ventrue offered. He would take in his to twin brothers, Jack and Maxwell(ironically) if Mike would come and tend for him. Without question Mike nodded, and Syd arranged a meeting with him and his brothers to meet out under The Pier at in an hour. Syd left outside and looked for his driver in a maze of limos, he then noticed his driver quickly turning on the engine and flooring it over to him. He picked him up and drove him over to the pier where he sat atop its decks. Syd told him to stay here and to call if anyone comes.
Syd, was surpirsed when he found he didnt have to wait, for the twins were already there, they were apparently as eager as he to be working for him now.
They told Syd Mike woul be here in ten minutes, he just needed to close up the bar...Syd nodded and quick as lightening grabbed both by the collar bone and began the process of embracing a ghoul...Soon after he had finished Mike cam and Syd repeated. He carried each of them one by one into the limo, Big Mike being the hardest, so he dragged him not wanting to alert his driver by using blood strength and carrying him. And told the limo driver to take he and his take his 'drunk' friends back to his haven in cascadia home.
