WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT JOIN THE CREW...
Who: Sean and Victor
What: Two bored men, finding something to do. Easy enough... Right?
When: Evening time.
Where: Starting with meeting in the Pax lobby.

Victor had been pleasantly surprised at the new prospects of the evening. Not that he didn't enjoy his own company just fine, but... He had to admit it. He was bored. And really, solitary introspection was the last thing he really wanted at the moment.

He still didn't know too many people in the building, but the one's he'd met so far were... interesting, so say the least. There was Vanessa. He liked the woman, to be sure. Not like that, really. But she had been the first one he'd met, and she was... kind. And... well. No introspection.

He hoped that this guy would be a bit more even-natured than that Idris guy. That whole night was still almost more like a dream than reality. Then again, there had been a lot of liquor.

But, a night out and away from his apartment, his own slowly dwindling stash of bourbon and wine, and his thoughts sounded just fine to him.

This Sean hadn't mentioned exactly what they were going to do, but Victor assumed (perhaps foolishly) that is wasn't going to be anything too fancy. He could always come back up to change, if it was a problem, but he usually dressed casual but nice. Dressed in nice dark wash blue jeans, black boots, a comfortable storm cloud grey ribbed shirt and slightly worn black leather jacket, Victor headed down to the lobby, right on time.

"That's for sure," Victor agreed. While he had looked at some other locations, Pax just seemed like it was the best fit. Almost perfect. Almost too good to be true, even. And it still felt that way, somewhat; with all the interesting character's he'd met and the oddities they brought out in him. But, it was, for better or worse, his home now.

Taking another swig of the beer, Victor leaned back in his chair a bit, watching Sean a moment before deciding to broach the subject the younger man had edged towards earlier. "So... Past lives. Is that a part of your whole yoga, meditation, Buddhist vegetarianism lifestyle?" Victor didn't want to sound like he was judging Sean. People had the right to follow whatever beliefs they wanted, as long as it wasn't hurting anyone else. And he was pretty sure that yoga never hurt anyone. "It sounded like you've given it some serious thought, is what I mean."

"It does fit with the Buddhism, yes actually. I've always believed in past lives, karma, and all of that." It wasn't normally a topic he minded talking about, but lately, with the whole Geb and Samuel scorpion man fight, Sean didn't know WHAT to believe, and he suddenly didn't want to talk about it, not in detail anyway. "I'm a vegetarian though for a few different reasons." How to change the topic. Sean took a long drink from his beer, setting the now half empty glass down

"Past lives and karma, huh..." Victor mused. It did seem a little crazy, at least to him, but he couldn't say that it wasn't intriguing. The idea that what you did in this life not only affected the way you would live now, but how your lives after this one would be... it was a strange concept. Victor wasn't sure if they way he'd lived his life would merit anything good if he had another one or not. Not that he'd committed any atrocious crimes, but, if he believed his father's great ambitions for him, then he had been sorely lacking.

"I tried vegetarianism once. In college." He grinned a little, letting the slightly lighter topic bring him away from thinking about how he had probably failed his father. "For a week. I guess I'm just a carnivore at heart."
