(how's it going?)
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 12:37:48 AM)
*Xander was back in his office, jacket off and hanging on a hook, shoes up on the desk as he sat back with a folder, moving through the paperwork slowly* (gooood, relaxing a bit)
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 12:38:28 AM)
she knocks 3 times as she walks in, holding a cooler and wearing a white cardigan, her dress a white and blue floral print. She sits down on the sofa.
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 12:41:25 AM)
*his resonance hung heavily in the air, as if he had been, or is currently working on something. his left hand idly played with a pocket watch as he kept turning pages of the report with his right hand, scanning along the numbers.* Come to help fuel the ritual? *he smiled a bit to her*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 12:42:07 AM)
"Of course I did. And...i brought you someting you're probably out of." a bottle of his favorite scotch. And dinner.
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 12:46:14 AM)
*he rubbed at his eyes and dropped the folder down, and set the pocket watch on it as well before gettting up and heading over towards her* You're a doll. though unless we find something amazing down the road, I think this whole particular sales plan is doomed. The guy seems like a nice guy, I'll hate to tell him no. *he shrugged a bit*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 12:47:01 AM)
"Of course I'm a doll. that's why there's a huge hurkin' shiny rock on my finger. And is there an alternative that can be found? another way to put it into actoin, or to alter it, reverse-engineer it to make it work?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 12:53:12 AM)
Just because I'd hate to tell him no, doesn't mean I won't. *he gave a half smirk as he sat down next to her and sighed a bit* It happens, he just isn't a sound business manager.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 12:57:35 AM)
"For a moment, I thought you had gone all soft. I know you will, and I know you will because telling him Yes when he doesn't deserve it doesn't do him any favors. he has to grow."
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:00:07 AM)
"Alexander..." probably the first time she's ever used the full name. "I trust you to do the right thing."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:02:03 AM)
*he leaned in and kiss her on the cheek* A great lesson that many aren't able to handle. *he quirked his brow a bit, with a small smirk.* Taking a few liberties? *he winked*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:02:56 AM)
"just trying to get a reactoin out of you." she chuckles and returns the kiss. "So when will you break him the bad news?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:05:08 AM)
*he smiled again* What are you talking about? Am I being to business again?
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:05:46 AM)
"Nonono...you're doing exactly what I hope you will. You're letting me in more on your work. yes, buesiness. him. the manager whose marketing plan won't work."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:08:14 AM)
*he smiled and stood back up, and walked back over to his desk grabbing the folder and the watch and brought it back to the table and set it down* Now can you find why? *he smiled*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:09:07 AM)
she takes the folder and starts to turn through it, making a few notes on probability. in a few moments, she points to a specific clause. "Because that..that's the weak link, right there. it's a prediction that won't happen."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:14:59 AM)
*he leaned in* Yes, it is. Everything else adds up, but the weak link is not in the business plan at all. Its all in the individual himself. Past employee notes, and past notices of profit loss that extend for too long of a period before there is a reversal. It doesn't go under, but it takes too long for him to react. His crafting store will stagnate, and he'll never be able to turn it around. It'll last forever, but it won't ever do anything. One of those run down stores that stays in one spot forever, but you dont ever really see anyone go in there. *he shrugged*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:17:33 AM)
"that won't do." she agrees.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:17:42 AM)
"You don't fund stagnation."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:21:26 AM)
Whats the point? *he pupped the seal on the scotch and got two glasses, filling them up*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:21:53 AM)
"There isn't a point. And that's the point. fail or succeed, somthing happens. But stagnation? that's the technocracy at work."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:24:08 AM)
Maybe I can set up a local college art studio there though. *he tapped at his chin a bit*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:24:49 AM)
"what's the purpose of that?" she scoots around him and starts to rub his neck and shoulders.

Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:35:50 AM)
*he relaxed into her massagin hands a bit* Well, the man did have a few good points. The neighborhood he was looking to open the store in is a growing and rebuilding section of New Orleans that has a slightly upscale, but younger crowd around the area. They'll love the addition of an art studio, especially one with rotating artists and galleries for them to explore. And the local college will love it, because they have a reason to expand their program. And it exposes those up and coming artist to the public eye.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:36:36 AM)
"How do you come up with these good ideas so quickly? It's amazing. One of the things I love about you...alright, are you going to put Him in charge of it, or scout property yourself?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:39:53 AM)
No, I'll put the school in charge of it directly. The one thing that college management is pretty good at is making sure thier assets continue to generate revenue in some fashion. I'm sure the position will be a competitivley sought after one in the artistic community. *he smiled a bit to the compliment* and thanks... things just sort of fall into place.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:40:43 AM)
"They don't just fall into place. You Make them fall into place. You come up with these ideas taht I never think of, that I don't see the possibility of. and all of a sudden...boom. there's more wealth generated in the community. And from what I understand, you only take out what you put in."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:43:57 AM)
Well, I do get a sizable portion, but its much more competitive than many others. Though I also do have the added benefit of know if something actually has a chance of working, so I can offer lowerer interests rates because the risk is much less. I can't continue to assist more and more businesses, with ever growing size if I don't also expand my own capitol of borrowing and loaning power. *he smiled a bit*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:44:40 AM)
"oh yes. that much, I understand. But you're not one of those wall street jackasses who bankrupted the country and sailed off to the caymans."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:45:55 AM)
*he scowled a bit* Those men are a disgrace, and I'd cut them open head to toe for what they've done.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:46:19 AM)
"You will. It'll just take you some time, that's all. Good lord, what do you do all day to get these knots in your neck?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:49:53 AM)
*he groaned a bit as she worked in on his neck* Just issues around the office that needed to be addressed. Had a meeting downtown with a foreign investor who is wanting to look into the area. *he sighed* He didn't even bring an interpreter.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:51:01 AM)
"How did you manage with that? and why didn't you call me, so I could be your charming.." she kisses his neck.."female liason?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:53:58 AM)
*he grinned a bit and titled to his a bit when she kissed* We got to stand there for a bit while one was brought in. I don't know why you would go to a ompany where you don't know the language to do business, and not bring your own interpreter.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:54:38 AM)
"I don't know either." she kisses the other side. "But you've had one hell of a day. I can tell. And you're not ready to come home yet...so I hd to come to you."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 1:55:51 AM)
You do have the power now to summon me home you know. *he turned partially to kiss her neck*
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 1:57:01 AM)
"Yes..I know. But it's something I plan to use...sparingly. I know how important your work is. And you know I'm willing to wait."
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 2:00:08 AM)
Well lets finish these glasses of the scotch, and reopen the bottle in the car. *he smiled* I can be finished for the night.
Tarra Shapiro (Apr 6, 2011 2:00:20 AM)
"Are you done yet?"
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 2:01:00 AM)
Yes, I'll let the department heads know tomorrow. *he walked over to grab his suit acket hanging up*
Xander Sinclair (Apr 6, 2011 2:02:50 AM)
