Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 1:41:00 AM)
*the office complex was dark this late at night, security the only thing on staff, though giving the group access to the building. Through the dark hallways would come to a pair of heavy double oaken doors. The office wasn't currently brightly lit, though it did have an atmosphere to it. It was large, intricate and well designed with trophies and photo's of Xander with important people. An Old Claymore hung from a rack near his desk.*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 1:41:50 AM)
*leads the trio toward Xander's office, checking in politely on the way with security. She's wearing a peach tee with a Chrysanthemum design and white capris, her logn hair twisted specifically to hide the bright blue ends from sight*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 1:42:30 AM)
*xander was sitting on the edge of his desk, his suit jacket off, but his silk shirt and tie, varying shades of red. he was flipping through a folder of reports, a stack of them on is desk that he was looking through, and a half bottle of scotch next to him*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 1:43:40 AM)
*raps on the door and pushes it open a bit, to let him see her, smiling warmly* I'm sorry to call so late, but pleased to find you here. I brought Alex and a new friend, Aislinn..if you can spare the time. *teasing lightly*
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 1:44:05 AM)
::Ais is in a pair of snug hip-hugging jeans, and a green fitted tee, with flip flops. Her long chestnut hair is down, and she runs her fingers through it lightly. She follows Cas' lead, and plays with the silver and Alexandrite cuff bracelet on her left wrist::
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 1:45:59 AM)
*he stood up, and pushed a lock of blonde hair back behind his ear that had come loose and walked over to them. He smiled, and set the glass of scotch in his hnds down.* No, come on in, I'm just working on a few reports.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 1:50:05 AM)
*holds the door for the others* Alex..I know you've met. Aislinn Connelly, this is Xander Sinclair.
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 1:51:30 AM)
::she smiles, a slightly shy, but friendly smile. A pause, just before she offers her hand, speaking softly, but with a thick Irish accent:: A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sinclair.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 1:53:08 AM)
Do you miss Dublin at all Miss Connelly? *he smiled and offered his hand* If Cas is bringing you here this late... I'm Xander Sinclair, Order of Hermes bani fortunae. And if you are clueless as to what I said, then jacob may need to go buy a large rug real quick... *he smirked* Can I offere anyone a drink?
Alexander Kalos (Aug 6, 2010 1:54:29 AM)
Jack, if you've got it Xander. Thanks for having us. Ave Hermes and all that.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 1:55:06 AM)
*laughs* I haven't met anyone who -isn't- a willworker! *she considers his offer* Actually.. I feel tonight I shall break my rule, I'll join you in a glass of scotch, Mister Sinclair. But only One.
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 1:57:09 AM)
I do miss Ireland, aye, but I've been here for a few years now... ::she shook his hand with an appropriate amount of firmness, and she shook her head a little:: I need to drive home, but thank you, Mr. Sinclair. ::she smiles a bit:: Aislinn Connelly, daughter of the Verbena.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 1:57:22 AM)
*he started working on the glasses bringing them over on a chair and motioning to the collection of Couches and chairs with a coffee table* Well please, sit down and relax. Thier are more and more of us everyday, and I'm glad to meet everyone. *he smit\led and sat down, handing out the drinks*
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 1:59:43 AM)
::she smiles:: I seem to have the same thing happening... I've met many of us... I don't think anyone I've met isn't a willworker...
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:01:00 AM)
Well stop by the office here during the day. *he grinned* I have a lot of intelligent employees, but none of them are clued in quite yet....
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:01:32 AM)
Oh! Then I lied. Your secretary and the security staff. *laughing*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:01:58 AM)
And my contractors! I think.. *making a face as if to say she hadn't actually -checked-*
Alexander Kalos (Aug 6, 2010 2:03:18 AM)
*He chuckles as he watches the exchange* So Xander...any news of interest?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:06:38 AM)
*he smirked and sipped his scotch* Any news? *he shook his head a bit* No, I haven't any news except for a re-evaluation of my financial status. *he waved at the paperwork on his desk. Xander's resonance rested heavily in the room, a strong feeling of statiscts and advancement* Waiting on my legal team to finish up bueracratic issues with the local goverment in New Orleans.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:09:25 AM)
That. and an apparent threatening of a few of the Awakened by a crippled bani Ether. *he shook his head and took a swig of his scotch*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:14:04 AM)
*almost chokes, coughing on fine liquor..and managing to swallow it, likely to avoid the insult to her host and the drink itself* Nick??
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 2:14:26 AM)
::Aislinn's eyes go wide, and she blinks:: Really? ::looking astonished:
Alexander Kalos (Aug 6, 2010 2:14:28 AM)
Oh, that fellow. *He chuckles-shaking his head*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:17:31 AM)
Yes. *he nodded* Drew a gun on Miss Phillips and Mr. Davidson. I believe there was a third, but I don't recall who it was. He has a history of issues all ready and is a bit unstable I'm afraid. Even for an Etherite. *he sipped his scotch again* Just know that if he's ever around, he's monitoring and recording everything, Everything. He threw a fit when I asked him to turn his devices off in my home.

Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:20:35 AM)
It's quite alright.. I'll be fine walking. *she smiles* Thank you for giving me a lift out to the LaCroix estate this evening.. I'd have had to leave at noon to make it on city transit.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:21:16 AM)
Take care Miss COnnelly. Perhaps next time I will have something more pleasant to talk about. You caught me on an odd day. And a late night. *he grinned and stood up to walk her to the door*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:21:23 AM)
Take care Aislinn. *grins* And keep your eyes out for 3-9.
Aislinn Connelly (Aug 6, 2010 2:22:32 AM)
My pleasure, Cas. I'll see you soon. ::she smiles brightly to the Akashic, and then smiles softly to Xander, she grins to Cas again:: I shall... ::nodding to Xander at the door:: It may not be pleasant, but I'd prefer knowing than not.. A pleasant evening, Mr. Sinclair. ::a slightly less shy smile, and she slips out of the complex::

*he let the door close and sighed a bit, heading back to the couch and taking a seat, grabbing his drink and downing all of the scotch in one go*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:24:24 AM)
*lifts a white brow at the gesture* I'm sorry to have caught you on a bad night.. I could visit another time, if you like.. *gently*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:25:54 AM)
No, please. Stay. *he smiled softly* I can always make time for business, but my mind is defiently on the events that occured, and the rest of it on that giant mound of paperwork behind me. *he chuckled* I need somethign different for 10 minutes or so.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:26:43 AM)
*laughter glittering in her eyes* Only for ten minutes?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:27:56 AM)
Minimum. *he grabbed the bottle of scotch, filling the glass again* Hows things with Chandi and company?
snowcrane (Aug 6, 2010 2:28:06 AM)

*her impish smile flashing brightly..and then vanishes at the mention of Chandi*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:30:30 AM)
Sorry, didn't mean to bring up a sore subject.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:32:23 AM)
*summoning a faint smile and setting her glass down* Chandi raised the point that I am not truly Akashayana. If she chooses to pursue this inquiry, I may well be without Tradition again. I'm sorry..my reaction was weak.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:35:30 AM)
There is no reason for her to. *he waved it off* But thats a conversation for the sunlight. *he smiled again, softly* Are you out there spreading rumors about me?
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:36:19 AM)
*pulling off the orange tinted lenses to reveal thick white lashes lowered against her dark skin, her other hand rubbing at her sinuses as if to ward off a headache* Can I give you good news instead? *she chuckles at his question* What rumor would I spread? *opening Crayola orange eyes to meet his*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:38:29 AM)
Whatever you have to tell me you can. *he grins, swirlign the icecube in his drink* And some sort of rumors that people need to get to know me. I keep hearing this.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:42:44 AM)
I corrected Nick's assumption that you were cold and uncaring, nothing more on that subject. And as for good news.. Alex has gained the Seat of Entropy, the other members of Euthanatos have ceded it to him. And I'm trying to piece together a cabal. I have little more than a few names on a short list..but I was hoping you might be interested.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:45:32 AM)
*holding up a hand to forestall him* And for the record, I won't take it personally, if you aren't. After all, we hardly know each other.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:46:57 AM)
*he took a deep breath and filled his scotch up* I've considered a Cabal for some time, there are many pro's and con's to joining one. I can't say i'm ready to create a small cabal, however I will do what I always do. If a good proposal comes my way, I study it and consider it seriously before making an informed decision.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:53:54 AM)
That's a safe position. *chuckling* The thing about a cabal is everyone has to be able to work together, and get along well. Waiting until a group is coherent without you, before considering their offer to you, keeps you from ever having to seriously consider it.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 2:56:51 AM)
I'm open to the idea of discussing it. The only thing that kept me back during this time is my inabiloity to appear as nuetral as possible for all of the awakend in the city. I'm a facilitator, and I've been hesitant about showing any serious favoritis out of what is naturally expected of me as a member of a proud Tradition as I am.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 2:58:45 AM)
*she picks up the glass, to toy with it idly* So far, it is myself and Aislinn for certain. She needs to get to know Alex, Bryan, and yourself better before she can give me an opinion on the rest of my short list.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:00:35 AM)
*he thought for a moment and took his sip* I'm sure it may look odd for only certain members of the future council to come together to form a cabal of thought and motivations. The implications would not look good
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:02:12 AM)
I thought this council was more informal..as we have no chantry or Masters that any know of. *smiling lightly* And I am not opposed to others. My short list..as it were, are those I know I would feel comfortable working with, right now.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:03:15 AM)
*he thought* Then I will decide after a meeting, to figuire out what will work best.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:06:08 AM)
I have..a better idea. *smiling warmly*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:07:45 AM)
Oh? what is that? *he leaned back*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:10:10 AM)
Very few people act as themselves when they feel they are being watched..or representing something greater than themselves. Council meetings, however informal, are not a good place to get to know someone. How about instead of that, you take your ten minutes of break..Outside the office, with one or more of those you are considering for a cabal? *lifting a white brow lightly*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:12:59 AM)
*he laughed a bit* That will be my intention. But I was suggesting that I wait until after we decide in what function the council will hold in the city, before deciding if I am also willing to partake in a cabal with them
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:16:39 AM)
*nods, agreeing easily, her warm smile lingering* The other thing to bear in mind, the Council will be transitory, in a sense. Seats will change over time as people come and go in the city..and its purpose will change over time as well. A cabal is more lasting. I wouldn't let who sits where tomorrow determine who I want at my back next year.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:18:34 AM)
I agree whole heartedly. and as I said, I am open to the idea, but there are many variables to balance and plan for.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:19:30 AM)
I'm sorry.. did I come across as pressuring? *she wrinkles her nose* I was just offering my point of view..unsolicited. *chuckling and finally taking another sip of the scotch*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:23:46 AM)
No, not pressuring. But I know a well thought out sales pitch when I hear one. *he grinned a bit, and poured another glass* I am genuine when I say I will consider it.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:25:23 AM)
Ouch..a sales pitch? *winces, putting her glass down*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:26:57 AM)
I meant it in a good way. Remember what my business is. And the fact that I am considering it means its a pitch of merit. *he chuckled*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:30:45 AM)
Understood, but it's not a decision i was trying to "sell". *a tired smile* Thank you for the compliment though.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:33:20 AM)
Everything is a sell. *he chuckled a bit* But i'm trying to not be a cynic.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:33:43 AM)
Amazing..*teasing* You're rather good at it.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:34:49 AM)
Have you seen teh Bread and Breakfast that Josh is trying to get going?
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:36:30 AM)
*she shakes her head* I've really only seen Josh once.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:37:23 AM)
It looks promising. Though I've opted to not be involved with it, to create a small layer of protection.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:39:13 AM)
Protection?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:41:08 AM)
I have my fingers in a great many pies. This has made me a high value target. I understand and accept this responsibility, because I know my craft. *he sipped his scotch* However, in these days, even the best get knocked down, and should that happen, I'd hate to see that every location out there that belongs to us is tapped and tagged as well.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:44:16 AM)
Gustave pointed out that sort of risk of exposure as a potential downfall of any sort of a Council effort in an undeveloped community like this. *quietly* I suppose I take it for granted.. I've never had much luck hiding.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:45:04 AM)
Its true, but thats why not everyone is made for the position. Onc you are succesful, haters soon follow.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:47:53 AM)
I suppose I'm safe from that at least. *laughing*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:50:07 AM)
*he stood up and buzzed the intercom* Jacob, can you bring the limo around? We need to give Miss Brimley a ride home before heading back to the house this evening. *he walked back over to her*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:53:08 AM)
*tilts her head* That's unnecessary.
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:53:47 AM)
*common sense making her rethink it, pursing her lips before continuing* But..very generous. Thank you.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 6, 2010 3:54:23 AM)
Nonsense, You stayed here to spend time with a friend, I can at least make sure you return home safetly. *he smiled and held out his hand to help her up*
Cas Brimley (Aug 6, 2010 3:57:20 AM)
*her smile turns resigned, and she places a tanned hand into his* I cede to your wisdom, Mister Sinclair.
