*tarra is escorted once again to the estate, fresh off the plane from another afternoon in Booston. She looks weary, not hardy speaking to Jacob as she's driven there*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:08:12 PM)
*xander was inside of his den area, with the large overstuf couches and the wall of flat screen TVs. the coffee table had folders all over it, as wlel as some luke-warm chinese food. The tv's were all on, finance channels, cnn, msnbc, and also espn. One tv was linked into the home sound system, and was playing some light electro as he worked through the paperwork, the bottle of scotch next to him and the glass ont he table, resting on the coaster*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:10:09 PM)
*she walks into the den, not dressed up. Not at her best. Just weary and tired. she walks behind him and starts to rub his shoulders before kissing the top of his head*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:10:21 PM)
Always working. You never stop.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:12:52 PM)
*he leaned back, head flopping backwards to look up at her upside down with a small smile* And why should I? This isnt going to get done by itself. *he reached up to pull her down for an upside down kiss before sitting up and starting to pack up the folders. his resonance hung over the paperwork and collected arond the TVs
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:13:41 PM)
"Because I'm here now. And despite what they told you at yale, and in Boston, and in everything else that you've encountered so far, one good kiss from a woman who truly cares for you can envigorate you more than an entire bottle of that expensive stuff."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:15:38 PM)
*he stacked up the folders, the music filling the air.* and so you've come to reinvigorate me and my project research? *he smiled a bit* How was boston?
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:16:30 PM)
"Not good. Not good at all. It went...exceptionally badly, actually."
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:16:49 PM)
"I met your mentor. He really tried to help me."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:18:43 PM)
That sounds likea bucket of terrible. And how is the Professor? *he reached around to wrap an arm around her and pull her over the couch*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:19:45 PM)
"Whole beer vat of terrible!" She slides over the couch. "He told me that you drink too much, indulge too much with beautiful women, and only show what you want people to see. That I need to be your counterpart, and because of that, he's trying to help me."
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:20:53 PM)
"He loves you, very much like a father loves a son, even if the son is a bit wayward from time to time."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:23:01 PM)
He knew me in my less stable college years, back when I could be a bad influence on people *he smirks as he refills his scotch* And I drank an obscene amount back then. Well, he knew what he was getting into when he pulled me into my office, and if he didn't, then he didn't do his job well enough. Either way, my sorrow for his plight about me is minimal. *he grins*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:23:58 PM)
"I'm going to agree with him, on one subject, just this once." she takes the scotch and moves it out of his reach, moving over and across his body to do it, the scotch now down on the floor no matter how she had to contort to reach it.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:25:14 PM)
You're playing with fire now. *he spanks her sharply, and holding her down on his lap*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:26:08 PM)
"That's what I do." she pulls herself up sharply, accepting the spank and sitting in his lap, looking him squarely in the eye. "I play with fire, and I'm not afraid to do it. You can live without one drink. I get tired of work and alcohol distracting you from me anyway."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:30:39 PM)
I can live without a drink, its a preference though. *he looks at her dead in the eye with a sly smile* And I thought you were Fortunae, not Flambeau
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:31:27 PM)
I am. Which is why I'm Fortuna, no Flambeau. I can tell you where and when the fire will strike, how hard, and how to get out of its way. which is a damn sight more than the flambeau will ever be able to tell you.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:31:46 PM)
it's all the information that comes along with Ars Fati. And I am its mistress.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:33:55 PM)
*his hand slid along her body* I bet you are. You trying to get through to me about something?
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:34:28 PM)
"I don't think you're ready for that, dear."
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:36:17 PM)
*she leans in close and starts to chew lightly on his ear* what could I be trying to get through to you about?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:36:59 PM)
Oh? you should try me. I'm not sure what you think you're holding onto thats going to get under my skin. *he squeezes, cocking his head to the side and give her easier access*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:37:52 PM)
getting under your skin is the easy part. all I have to do is kiss you there, there, there...and take away your scotch for a moment.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:39:01 PM)
There are many hours in the day where I am not actively consuming liquor, thank you very much.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:39:28 PM)
usually when you're asleep. Why did you come over to my apartment the other evening? *she starts to nibble on his other ear*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:42:59 PM)
*his hand slid along her hip* Oh, nothing too important. Was just going to talk about some business proposition
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:43:43 PM)
"I think you wanted to see me. You knew when I'd be getting off work."
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:44:26 PM)
"So let's talk about the business proposition."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:45:53 PM)
I don't think I want to talk about business propositions at the moment. *his hand slid up under her shirt, his lips kissing at his shoulder*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:46:33 PM)
"Alright then. when.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:48:06 PM)
(her... shoulder.)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:48:12 PM)
(I understood)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:48:20 PM)
*she tugs her shirt off over her head*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:50:07 PM)
*he started nipping and biting at her chest* After we take care of this. *he slid her onto the couch more and climbed on top, kissing her deeply*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:50:48 PM)
(*tsks them both*)
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:51:09 PM)
hehe)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:52:55 PM)
(yeah, fade out there.)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:54:30 PM)
*she sits on the patio outside, wrapped up in a robe, shivering little even in the louisiana heat. admiring something in the tree, something in the sky. there's still a look of wonder in her eye being here, she is definitely not to the manor born and not really adjusting that well to it, either
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:54:47 PM)
*the sun had long set on them, the gardens were lit with low backlighting and the moon still gave off plenty of light. his hand was wrapped around her waist as he pulled her against him a bit, taking a drink of the wine*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:55:27 PM)
*softly* why is it when I am here, with you, doing what I absolutely should not be doing, that I feel most at ease, and most comfortable? You're not trying to fix me. You're not trying to change me.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 7:57:16 PM)
Nothing to fix, nothing to change. You are who you are, and there is a place for everyone in it. You know how I feel about personal freedoms, and that includes the fredom to be exactly who you are.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 7:57:47 PM)
"I am a flawed person. I dont try to be perfect anymore. Doing so only got me grief and self loathing."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:03:02 PM)
*he looked at the wine in the glass trough the moonlight. he swirled it lightly, watching its viscousity and judging its quality before taking a deep whiff and a small sip. he held the glass out as he spoke* We are all imperfect, which is why everything in this world is imperfect, including our minds and our ideas. We can make ascension towards perfection, once we cleanse our selves of our impurities with the actions we take in history. Who you are, and the impact you leave on the universe is the only thing that matters, the rest is dust.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:04:11 PM)
"Do you have a destiny?" she stands now, letting her feet touch the grass off of the patio. there's a look of zen tranquility as she rests her feet in the grass, as if it were a feeling she'd never had before"
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:06:47 PM)
There is no fate but the one you make. A mistress of Aris Fati should know that. *he smiled as he took a breath of the wine again, before taking a long sip.* A Master makes thier own fate.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:08:19 PM)
"Joshua has a destiny. The only one I possess that I do not control is the one I have by being bound to him. I don't know if that makes sense. Why did you come over the other night?" She finds some small twigs on the ground, winds her hair into a knot and secures it with the sticks
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:10:33 PM)
You're going to hate me. *he smiles, looking up into the sky, holding up his free hand towards the stars, moving his fingers to cover up stars in his eyes here and there, in small patterns*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:11:34 PM)
"Never. Not possible."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:12:15 PM)
It was to actually talk about a business proposition. One that I've decided to follow through with, but I thought you'd lik to hear about it.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:12:55 PM)
*she turns back to him. He can see a smiile on her face.* "I believed you when you told me that the first time. I would like to hear about it."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:17:21 PM)
A charity organization, that I'm getting behind and making contributions too. *he finished the wine, bringing his hand down and popping the cork on the bottle and refilling his glass before recapping it. he sat up and looked out at her, smiling as he did and picking hte glass back up* Its a group of Construction Professionals who donate thier time to helping out families who don't have the money to rebuild from the ground up, or can't wait for the goverment reimbursments. They go out to thier construction sites, help them stay in code, offer technical assistance and advice thats certified by the state. They help empower these families to be able to do it themselves. The call themselves the, "Fishing Rod Group."
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:20:45 PM)
"that sounds like something Josh would be easily onboard with, if only for the name."
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:22:33 PM)
I thought it was cute. *he smiled* But I think its a great thing they are doing, and I love to help build. *took a sip of the wine* And of course, we can use thier professional services, paid of course, for our own construction purposes.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:22:56 PM)
(and omfg, I just had a god damned awesome idea to go with this.)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:23:23 PM)
(cool.)
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:24:54 PM)
*he thought for a few moments. grinning a bit and shaking his head as he thouht for a second* TLC... Mother fucking TLC.... *he smiled* This charity has mothing fucking Reality TV on TLC written all over it. Imagine the exposure...
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:25:55 PM)
*she turns to him* and who will be on the reality tv shit? Not me. Not Josh.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:28:13 PM)
None of us, just the charity contractors. But the exposure the show would bring to the charity organiztion would make thse guys local Hero's and Stars. People will go gaga for them like Seattle goes GaGa for the Deadliest Catch guys when they're in town. These guys will be doing all sorts of things in the area, parties, appearances, local politicans? *he smiled a bit as the idea dazzled behind his eyes*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:30:11 PM)
*she kisses his cheek* If you think that will do good, dear, then mke it happen.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:32:05 PM)
Do you see where that all leads too after that? *he smiled to her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:32:32 PM)
I do. It leads for community support, and for the community stepping in to support itself thourhg publicity, and other things.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:32:38 PM)
you're just planting the seeds.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:35:39 PM)
And who's money is moving it all? There is a lot of pull to be made here. And we can do alot with a lot of pull, if people out there have the imagination to come up with a way to help the city, and It'll slide out faster that a greased duck's shit.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:36:24 PM)
*she blinks at the analogy* wow. that waas just...charming.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:37:19 PM)
I'm not used to the wine. *he smirks*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:38:21 PM)
But first, we need to help them out.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:39:36 PM)
So where do I fitinto this grand scheme of yours?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:41:16 PM)
Wherever you want. There are many pieces out there that have yet to be discovered, because its not where I think to look. Another person, has different concepts for the same idea.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:46:13 PM)
*she smiles* that's the beautiful thingn about being an individual, dearest. Everyone is going to have different ideas. But that's also the beautiful thing about being the man wiht the funding. it's your job to be the boss.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:46:49 PM)
It is, so it gives me the power to say the best and most powerful of all words that there are.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:48:31 PM)
"Ok for funding"?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:49:38 PM)
*he smirked. and simply said* 'No'
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:52:05 PM)
*she can't help but smile again.* And right now, what words to you want to say? more than anything?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:54:18 PM)
*he took a deep breath, half closed his eyes as his lips slowly formed the word. A word with power behind it, an effect that she can feel reverbrate with supernatural strength* Moment.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:55:49 PM)
*she walks to him, puts her hand on his shoulder and he can feel prime course through him, the strength that is her personality, the extreme potency of her avatar*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 8:58:41 PM)
*he can almost see something from her hands. a long stream of ilght that goes to touch a tree. moment. force. distance. Seh says somethinig as well, hebrew. and he can feel strength and chaos leeching out of her as she speaks*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 8:59:54 PM)
*he watched her, head tilting forwarda bit as he looked over the brim of his wine glass as he watched her, taking another sip as she did her magic*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:01:21 PM)
*she waves her fingers. he can feel what she did. she focused the energy into one area, the chaos away from it. Something subtle. The tree in the distance, the magnolia blooms come open on it, the influx of energy causing side effects. She looks more in control, in power than he has ever seen her*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:02:29 PM)
*he stood up and walked slowly towards her with his wine in one hand, coming up slowly behind her as he dazzled*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:02:35 PM)
(as she*)
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:03:35 PM)
*softly* it's all about numbers. all of it. there's power in them, joy, life. everything is about numbers, the slow application of correct force, the removal of impurities. even fate and chaos...it all boils down to numbers. and I am Theano.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:07:45 PM)
*he pulled a small letter opener out o the robe and pricked his finger with it, he flicked it over hand out into the area where Tarra's magic flitted about the the landscape.* By the blood and sweat of your works do things gain power and essence. *the blood landed and splashed, a shimmer of prime intensified the show crawling along it and shining*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:08:54 PM)
*she turns back to him and smiles* are you celebrating the elegant universe with me?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:13:13 PM)
Of course. *he smiled* I can indulge can't I? *his fingers traced a clock in the air and looked at the images dance, and they started to slow faster, and slower, as if lagging and chopping*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:16:07 PM)
I thought all we did was indulge together. andthat's beautiful. I can almost see the energy as it flows together.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:16:58 PM)
We always seem to be at the ight place, and the right time.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:17:57 PM)
tha's fate. What do you want from me?
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:19:02 PM)
A smile and a kiss.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:21:39 PM)
I mean in the longer sense.*she walks back to him, kisses him softly and smiles, then kisses him again, a slow series of them and another smile*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:22:57 PM)
I.. don't know. *he smirked and squinted a bit*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:27:01 PM)
Andhe turns back into a typical guy on me. *she chuckles and lets her light show drop* I never know what role I'm going to fill with you. If I'm going to be your second in the Lodge. If I'm going to be your girl on the side. If I'm going to be PR for your company. IF I'm going to spy on you for your mentor. But I know that you're also part of my life, at least right now.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:28:52 PM)
I think my company has itself settled in nicely by now. The lodge has to be built and people need to actually want to go there and join our community, and you're only on the side because you're sort of engaged.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:32:43 PM)
Sort. of...*she bites her lip* yeah.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:32:53 PM)
I don't know if I want to go through with it.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:33:09 PM)
I feel...like I'm doing it because it's expected of me.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:36:00 PM)
*he shrugged his shoulders a bit* I will need to continue to being an honest man, and eventually this will simply have to end if thats going on.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:39:47 PM)
I know. And...I don't know how I feel about that. Or if how I feel even matters.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:40:22 PM)
one I make a vow, I can't break it
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:41:08 PM)
A decision has to be made, this is not an abstaining vote. *he sighed*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:42:53 PM)
I know. And I don't have to make it tonight.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:42:58 PM)
and I'm not going to
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:44:13 PM)
Good. *he smiled as he walked back towards the door*
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:45:31 PM)
Would you like me to stay and work with you tonight or would it be easier to be alone? *she follows*
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:47:07 PM)
Lets get dressed, see whats going on out in the city tonight. Lets... Dress for success.
Tarra Shapiro (Aug 20, 2010 9:47:47 PM)
Done. (and I need to go for a bit)
Xander Sinclair (Aug 20, 2010 9:48:01 PM)
(no worries, it was fun :) )
