Brujah by Blood, Anarch by Choice


This is something that Johnny posted onto the Brujah networks just today, or something an awful lot like it anyway. Really fuckin' pissed...

You know what, Johnny don’t give a flyin’ fuck what you all been sayin.’ Johnny done a lot of thinking and here’s what Johnny got to say before Johnny really does leave for a vacation.

Johnny is a Brujah by blood. Johnny hears the rage and the passion in the song of Brujah. Johnny hears to song of brotherhood tugging every time a brother or sister of Brujah calls.

But Johnny is also an Anarch by choice. The songs of freedom ring in Johnny’s soul. The needs of others bound by their choices resonate in Johnny’s ears.

Unlike most of you Camarilla Brujah, Johnny has to listen to both of these songs at the same time. You have the luxury of only having your petty Court politics and our large Clan politics to worry about. You don’t have discordant rhythms beating out different needs. You don’t have two different sides of your soul sometimes trying to tear you apart.

It is the way of the Anarchs. It is a choice we all made when we turned our backs on the Ivory Tower. We know the choice makes our lives difficult. That sometimes our choices will make us lose standing or reputation to one side or another or both. That sometimes when we try to make both sides sing together, we end up making both sides we must listen to angry.

It is our lot in this unlife.

We are not traitors. We are guilty of having two masters and of doing our best to satisfy both of them.

The Anarchs that killed Chase refuse to have contact of any reasonable sort with Hung Lo or any other Anarchs that have tried to contact them. They would know regardless of what else happened or what was said that retribution had to be coming their way.

Johnny will grieve for the loss of Johnny’s brothers and sisters – both of The Movement and of The Blood should things come to that.

And that’s all Johnny’s gotta say before Mynos gets here and Johnny shows him how to live large in the OC. And when Mynos leaves, Johnny’ll take a bit of a trip too.
