*Tarra walks in, having taken to wearing much lighter clothing to try and beat the heat of summer. Today she's in a halter-style dress, a light print that skirts her knees and sandals. Her hair is back in a ponytail and she looks for Xander*

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:11:32 PM)
*he relaxed in a high backed leather wrapped chair in a corner, a small cigar ion his fingers and a large snifter 1/4 filled with bourbon next to him. he was dressed to the nine's in a fine black and grey suit with emerald cuff-links*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:14:22 PM)
She sees Xander, walks over and sits beside him. she orders herself something to drink, but leaves the cigar alone* Joshua had an intriguing idea today

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:16:18 PM)
*he flipped a page in the new york times he was reading, glancing at a few mroe sentences before folding it up a bit and looking over at her.* Oh? What did the prophet say now? *he smiles a bit*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:17:00 PM)
"He thinks I should be in your employent."

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:17:42 PM)
*Carl enters, reading off the address to himself from a slip of paper and then making sure he has the right address before continuing in.*

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:19:14 PM)
*he set the newspaper down, ran a hand through is shrot blond hair and then reached for his glass to take a drink. He took a moment to savour the aroma before sipping some of it down* To what degree? I thought you were going for a Technology degree?

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:20:07 PM)
"I completed a master's in EE. I honestly don't know what I could do for an investment company." she chuckles, nervously. "I could change direction and learn finance. I'm a smart girl."

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:23:02 PM)
*the sat in thier chair, sipping thier drinks, the light smoke coming up from his cigar* Yes, but. Is that what you actually /want/ to do?

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:24:49 PM)
"You want the truth to that question? I've never actually given any thought to what it is that I want to do. I've never analyzed it, never experimented to find out. I've gone with what I have a strength in and despite being bored to tears, frequently, I've stuck with it because it's comfortable. We're supposed to be about fate and fortune, yes? My education and training can deal with high mathematics, then they deal entirely with something else. As it is, I'm failing in a lot of areas.

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:27:35 PM)
*he thought for a few moments, looking down into his drink and then looked up at her out of the corner of his eye a bit and taking a deep breath. Its hard to take in an intern and employee with no immediate appreciable skills. Do you have any sort of serious teaching with Legal or Finances?

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:28:04 PM)
*He glances at the others, then moves to get himself a seat and some gin. And a cigar.*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:28:32 PM)
"I could lie, hit the books and say that I do. But that wold be just that. A complete lie and I wouldn't abuse our friendship that way."

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:29:25 PM)
*she gives Carl a smile*

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:30:55 PM)
*He returns the smile with a friendly wave of his gin glass.*

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:31:30 PM)
I've always offered a place to those with marketable skills. It would be unfair to do otherwise. *he sipped his drink a bit, looking over at carl. He shifted in his sheet a moment as he smiled and raised his drink lightly to the man*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:32:48 PM)
"then, I'm glad we talked."

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:34:27 PM)
"You should go say hello."

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:35:35 PM)
Take a class or two, then I can get you a position. But I can't bring you on, and pay one of my good employees to teach you, so you can assist. *he smiles, and takes another sip of his drink* Me? You're the pretty face and people respond better to you. They always thuink I'm up to something. *he chuckles and smirks*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:36:50 PM)
"And you asked if I had any marketable skills..." she stands up and walks to carl, the heels of her shoes clicking softly on the tiles as she moves to him. "Hello, I'm Tarra. Won't you join us?"

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:40:51 PM)
*he smirks to himself a bit as he sips his drink again*

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:43:11 PM)
"Well, all right. Sure." He nods and stands up. "Call me Carl."

"Hi, Carl. Are you local here?" She moves to Xander and retakes her seat. "this is my friend Xander."

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:45:23 PM)
*he stood up as Carl came over, smoothing out the front of his suit a bit he offered his hand* Hi there Carl, how are you?

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:50:58 PM)
*He nods politely to both.* Good, thanks. *He smiles broadly.* Yeah, I just moved here.. abotu a month ago I think? I'm awful with time.

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:51:05 PM)
(bah, so distracted)

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:51:14 PM)
I'm guessing you two know eachother.

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:51:26 PM)
"Where are you from?" She sits down and crosses one knee over the other, demurely. "Yes, we do."

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:52:25 PM)
*he took a seat* Yes, Tarra and I have known each other for sometime. *he smiled* What brought you out here? And where was it that couldn't hold your itnerest? *he smiles*

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:52:58 PM)
Boston, actually. I came here because of my job. I'm a writer, for newspapers and the like, and I got a little tired of the same thing. So I figured a new place might do better for me.

Xander Sinclair (Jul 11, 2010 11:54:40 PM)
You're a Boston man as well? *he smiled and sat up a bit* Excellent to hear, at least I won't be the only dirty New Englander kicking around in this humid swelter. *he chuckles, taking a small drag from a cigar*

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:55:12 PM)
"Boston...interesting place. I've been there once, but only once. I'm from New York myself." And wow does that accent she has prove her near-ethnicity. Screamingly brooklyn.

Carl Weishaupt (Jul 11, 2010 11:55:21 PM)
I feel like I need to wear a mosquito net around here. How'd you two end up here?

Tarra Shapiro (Jul 11, 2010 11:55:42 PM)
*She looks to Xander to answer*
