The only weird thing about his choice of clothing that most people would ponder over was the fact that he was still wearing his Balaklava (skiing mask) to cover up his entire head except for the eyes and mouth. Which was all he actually needed right now. He leaned down and picked up a bottle of D-W-O-R-E-K uncorked it. And started chugging. Was he drunk? Yes of course. He had actually not stopped being drunk ever since he was halfway though his train travel from Magnolia. Something that would probably affect his physique in the future or give him liver failure. But damn. He was a fucking beast at drinking.

There, Uchida had approached the man, spotting that he had taken a certain unknown to him brand of alcohol, and said, "Fine day for a drink is it?" Uchida wasn't exactly old enough to drink nor did he like the smell of straight alcohol unless it was a minuscule amount that happened to be slipped into his drink. Still, he could probably see why most people would be drawn to it other than the taste but he'll never understand how they stomach it. Oh well.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" Maybe while out boozing but Victor couldn't really remember the boys face. "How about a sip?" He asked the boy without really thinking about the fact that sharing isn't really caring when it comes to stolen goods. He reached out with his right hand to shake the boys hand. "My name is Victor." After having stretched his arm and hand out to greet the boy he stretched out his other hand which was holding the Vodka bottle.

He eyed the man over again trying to see if Uchida seemed anything like a fun person. Maybe he liked to fight or something or maybe he was one of those underwater cave divers that searched for treasures in places where most people couldn't dream of going. Thinking about it Victor really found himself getting more and more interested. "No you see I am one of those free spirits that does what he wishes. Never really fancied being bunched up with people that think highly of some grand justice or being puppeterd on someone elses battlefield." And with that Victor looked Uchida over again observing if Uchida was fun or not. "Ever tried alcohol kid?"
Mon Nov 06, 2017 4:16 pm
As for his views on being led around by somebody else's whims, Uchida didn't really care too much about it as long as it wasn't detrimental to himself and if he got rewarded for it. It didn't have to exactly be money but something worth while for his time. Items, trinkets, hell even new abilities and techniques. Uchida hadn't thought about it before but, he was having a conversation with a masked individual that didn't seem too dangerous but yet the feeling of not knowing what he looks like or knowing who he is other than a "Victor" is quite unsettling. He wasn't sure what he's done but it's not like he was obligated to arrest this man. He wasn't exactly a Rune Knight. He decided he'd answer his last question before asking the obvious one of his own.
"Have i ever had alcohol before? Not really, no. By the way, you gonna take off that mask so i can see your face? I'm all for espionage and all that shit but ummm.. I don't feel comfortable speaking to a masked man in the middle of the streets. Feels like i'm doing something illegal and if you HAVE done something illegal, i don't want to take the fall for you and it hit my reputation." Uchida had said a bit cautious. Still though, he didn't mind talking with the fellow but that small fact did bother him and prevented him from going any further with this.

He had medium length hair, stubbled beard and a long scar running over one of his eyes. His eye was still in its socket even though the scar looked fierce enough that whatever did it could have just as well removed Victors eye. He was sweaty because of the balaklava and his entire face was pretty warm. His hair had become a mess because of wearing the balaklava for so long and not sleeping had made small rings around Victors eyes. He did not exactly look pretty. "There. That feels better, Also now you have a face to remember me by." He pondered a little. "So. What brings you to Oak Uchida. Are you here visiting because if so id like to give you a tip, Don't run in with the mafia. They can be a handful."
Mon Nov 06, 2017 5:46 pm
What i'm here for. Well, i came from a very small island that's not too far from Galuna island to seek my fame and fortune here on the main land. I'm an islander of sorts, i guess. Half but obviously you see what traits were dominant so it's easier to say one over the other. I've come to seek fame and wealth mainly for myself but it was originally for my family so that people know that we exist. And there are people with talent located far beyond just the region of Fiore." Uchida said some what giving his life story to a strange man he just met. Uchida continued, "As for the mafia, i know well enough i'm no match for them by myself at the moment but some day soon,
i'll be able to hold my own if not utterly crush them. By myself or by other means. I don't exactly have a noble goal or anything, i just want to exert my power over others and eventually obtain my wishes to do whatever feels good time at the time. What about you? Surely, there might be something you wanna do to make sure your "Free spirit"
isn't dragged and chained in a dungeon cell." He said with a bit of a snide tone in his voice.
Mon Nov 06, 2017 6:03 pm
"I come from these parts. This city is in fact my hometown." he waited a little bit before continuing so that he could catch his breath and well light a cigarette, "My family used to run these parts a long long time ago. And I am the only one from my family that I actually know of who still exists. My parents died a few years past and since ive been living on adventure, excitement and well alcohol as you can see."
Another breather. And another puff of the smoke before he continued. "I want to bring my family back to the status they used to have. Which well means I have to do a few nasty things and attain a lot more strength to achieve it. But then again anyone who doesn't have to dirty their hands to achieve their goal usually doesn't dream big enough. I wanna live a life without stagnation going from one adventure to the next." He puffed again sending out a large cloud of smoke directed at the sky. "My question for you is how far are you prepared to go to fulfill your dreams?"

i have to make sure that in the end, it reaches that pure and honest life style that I've been thinking about. Well, at least on the surface. Can't have everybody calling me a dark mage and what not. That'd be bad for business."
Tue Nov 07, 2017 8:44 am
"So you are saying that all dark mages are bad and that there are no good dark mages? Is that some general way of saying that all good and bad things are black and white?" In fact for Victor the gray area was so big that it did not matter if you were good or bad. You probably just did what you did because doing it was all you knew or the fact that doing it gave you some sense of justification.
"Uchida. Im not going to trample your toes here... But good and evil very oftenly go hand in hand. Of course things like pointless massacres are purely evil. But say there is a point in it. Kill a thousand. Save a million. Could you stomach doing that if it was something that worked towards your goal?" Victor pondered a little again. Fimped the cigarette and rubbed it into the ground with his left foot. He then placed the vodka bottle back in the large sack.

He pointed up towards castle phantasm. "That. Is castle phantasm. The Phantasm family lives there and I would suggest you stay away from that place. They are a special bunch and they have a big hand in every single deal that goes down around here. Meaning they are more or less a part of the mafia."
Tue Nov 07, 2017 10:38 am
Let's continue your tour of this foreign land. Well, foreign to me anyways."
Tue Nov 07, 2017 2:01 pm
They kept walking down the street when on their right side was a not so grand building. It had some sort of dark smoke coming out of it. Not in a burning building kind of way but more in a chimney type of way. "This is where the local smith works. He is a really good fellow. Me and him share a lot of hobbies. Mainly we share drinks together at the local pub." He chuckled a little and then kept on pondering on what he could show the kid. Maybe a sweets store or something. He did not really know what kids in Uchida's age liked.
They kept walking when after a while they walked past a funny looking building with a sign hanging over the entrance that said "Mabuz magic shop". "As you can see this is a magic shop." Victor said hinting with his right arm at the obvious sign hanging over the entrance. "I don't want to seem gloomy over Oak but most places here are in some way hidden illegal mafia warehouses or underground black markets." He then continued. "This place always tells my gut feeling that something is wrong. Any questions so far?"
Tue Nov 07, 2017 3:33 pm
"Yeah, i've also been here before too. Had to do a job for this guy. It's the first time i've ever seen a giant before. I thought Giants and Elves were apart of fairy tales and bed time stories they tell children. I guess those stories the stranger travelers tell were true." Uchida had said, inquiring a bit. He continued to follow Victor to the next place. Listening while walking, Uchida was informed that this place wasn't exactly the best of towns. It was rather corrupt but it seems like it would be the same for every other town or city to some extent. This town and Dahlia seemed to be a bit more obvious when it came to this sort of thing but it seems as if it was apart of there daily lives.
"No, no further questions. Let's move on i guess."
Tue Nov 07, 2017 5:04 pm
One street after another he led Uchida around Oak town, The sun moved and so did the warmth of the day. From when he had met Uchida it was still warm for a autumn day but now. It had started to get really cold and so Victor looked over to Uchida. "Hey maybe we should get some place warmer. I know the perfect spot to spend a nice evening with some drinks and maybe a game of cards. What do you say?"
Tue Nov 07, 2017 9:57 pm
Some place warm would be nice. I wouldn't mind having something to do like playing cards anyways."
Wed Nov 08, 2017 9:08 am
The iron door had a small hatch at eye height that opened when Victor knocked on the door. "U menya yest' vodka. Pozvol' mne i moyemu drugu voyti, i my budem igrat' s toboy za stolom." He then smiled and slid a few jewels through the hatch. From the other side of the door the could hear a man talking in the same foreign language that Victor had just spoken. "Khorosho, ty mozhesh' voyti." The door then opened and Victor walked into the very dark room that was more or less only lit up by a small candle sitting on a crate.
Victor turned around. "We are invited to go downstairs and play cards." He then walked down the stairs and into a basement room that was lit up by a chandelier in the ceiling. There was a round table with a form of green mat on it. A round the table a few very mafioso looking men sat playing poker. Victor pulled out a chair for Uchida and one for himself. He gave each mafioso a bottle of vodka and placed one on the table for himself. He then lit a cigarette puffed a little on it and placed 50 jewels on the table. The dealer gave him 50 chips and he was now in the game.
Thu Nov 09, 2017 8:59 am
Victor had turned to him and said they were invited to play games with them. Uchida's eyes shifted into a different direction briefly and muttered under his breath "Yeah, i bet..." before stepping in through the door and seeing what's inside. He then followed Victor down the stairs and into a basement room that was lit up by a chandelier in the ceiling. There was a round table with a green mat on it. A round the table a few very mafioso looking men sat playing poker. A chair was pulled out for him by Victor and he took it and sat down. Uchida then noticed Victor traded in fifty jewels for fifty chips so Uchida in turned did the same, laying down fifty jewels for fifty chips. Uchida attempted to hide his confusion since he wasn't entirely sure what game they are playing but nonetheless he'd try to pick up on it and win.

Victor looked around. Took a chug of vodka and looked at the mafioso. They all had pretty good poker faces except for one of them that smiled widely. That person was either faking it or he had gotten a pretty good hand with either double pairs or a three of a kind. Finally the river also known as the fifth card was dealt. The fifth card was a eight of hearts. And so Victor waited. For the next starting hand to be dealt.

None of the cards was a four. Instead the flop had revealed a 9 a 8 and a 2. One of the mafiosos decided to fold but the other two looked hungry for more money. The middle revealed a four. Victor knew not to smile if he wanted to ring in some more money than he had spent and so he played it cool but the middle really saved him. He now had three of a kind. And he expected to win this one so he decided to raise. The pot of chips had a total of 14 tokens from the earlier bids. Victor however decided to raise with 6 tokens. The other mafioso looked at him like he was stupid and Victor looked back with the face of a clueless drunkard. They decided to follow suit betting 6 tokens each so that the pot was raised from 14 to 32. The river revealed another 2. Victor had full house. This was going to be easy winnings for him.
