**Its around 7pm and the bar is just beginning to fill up. Being a new place by just a few weeks, not all the sharp corners have been rubbed away yet and the immaculate feux wood bartop and tables feel a little forced, but the oak beam stylings of a New Orleans forgotten does at least attempt to create a certain cosiness**

*he slips in to the bar wearing the same type of clothes as he always. The pinstripes on his black suit and the ribbon on his fadora is a bright red. the suit itself is a dark black, and as always he is not wearing a jacket jsut a vest*
Legion (Nov 19, 2011 12:39:05 AM)
** The new pub has gone for a brass and bell nautical feel. A few bikers have parked outside and have taken over the pool table end of the place, already throwing money down under a low hqaning green strip light, while two guys with guitars and a single amp are tuning up on the small stage in the corner. A few locals have decided to try ythe place as well. The bar leads righ of the peir and the rear windows look out across the industrial side of the river**
Geneviève Desmarais (Nov 19, 2011 12:40:19 AM)

Jeff Pines (Nov 19, 2011 12:42:25 AM)
((So... Because my memory sucks... I know Jeff saw Anthony at court... I think I saw Brad and Patrick there too, but not sure... Where you guys there? Did I see you before Genevieve?))
Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 12:42:56 AM)
Amanda was just the date for the evening, you see. A pretty face latched onto the arm of a handsome man, and together they strolled into the less-than-reputable bar. She wore a long black skirt with a black and silver long-sleeved top. Brad was wearing clothes, too. And he was being super charismatic and awesome and also AFKish for the moment. But they were there!
Patrick O'Keeffe (Nov 19, 2011 12:43:03 AM)

Patrick O'Keeffe (Nov 19, 2011 12:48:15 AM)
well you know, this city is full of stalkers *he looked to Gen as he spoke and offered her a wink* I am in the bar busines so there is a reason for me to be hear. *he paused a moment before speaking again* So that must mean your the stalker
Jeff Pines (Nov 19, 2011 12:48:57 AM)
*Jeff looks around while drinking that beer, and is a bit surprised seeing so many of the demons he saw recently in court showing up here. He sends them a quiet nod of greeting if they look his way... But then he notices Genevieve, someone he has not met yet that makes his supernatural senses tingle... At least it seems she knows Patrick... And he notices the girl with drug problems on Brad's arm, the one he saw before... Wasn't she Chris's sister?*
Sam the tender (Nov 19, 2011 12:49:48 AM)
**Sam goes about his business. Anyone looking over the bar would note that on the wall behind him, among the glasses and booze is a photograph of Sam in uniform, aling with presumably his unit posed beside a a white, middle eastern building**
Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 12:50:23 AM)
*Anthony of course steals the show. It's not so much a matter of him trying to, of course, but he can't help causing jealousy and lust wherever he goes. Really, the man is far too gorgeous not to stick out, so it doesn't even matter that he's way too overdressed for this dive. The simple act of walking through the room creates an effect similar to Moses parting the Red Sea, and he moves through the awestruck crowd and up to the bar to get a drink*
Sam the tender (Nov 19, 2011 12:52:23 AM)
**A few ladies in the bar stop in conversation as Anthony passes by them with his amiable smile and purposeful wink...as do the biker molls from the back of the room, followed by a cuff to the back of the head to one of them from his behemoth and much tattoo's boyfreind/owner**

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 1:01:01 AM)
Such choices... *he runs his tongue over his teeth, trying to decide which one would be less painful* Alright then, pour me some Don Julio shots, they're always worth a drink.

*And anti-climatically, that was when Brad and Amanda lived up to the latter's entry post. Stepping in with her, there was a faint smile on his features that faded almost immediately as he noticed the high concentration of Demons located in the establishment and he hesitated at the door, looking as though he weren't committed to going in just yet* "...you sure you want to try this place this out?" *He inquired of Amanda*
Sam the tender (Nov 19, 2011 1:17:15 AM)

Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 1:23:54 AM)
Amanda didn't recognize anyone here. It was a new place, though. Of course she wouldn't! And her ties to things she didn't understand were nonexistant (that she knew of). "I kind of like it. It's kind of seedy, but it doesn't look too dangerous either." She flashed a happy smile to Brad and settled down at the table he'd selected for them.

Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 1:30:29 AM)
"Rum and coke. Fantastic drinks." She glanced over at the bar as a scene began to emerge from it. A brow lifted with curiosity, and her eyes turned back to Brad when she leaned in to whisper, "I think there might be a fight after all. We have good seats, though. We'll be fine."

Sam my friend... *he gives the man a smile* I do hope you own this bar, because if so, then please allow me to introduce myself...

Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 1:55:31 AM)
A sigh of relief left her as the group took their leave. "Phew. That could have been ugly," she said quietly to Brad. "They were all getting ready to jump everyone in the bar. Even us, I think."
Legion. (Nov 19, 2011 1:57:18 AM)
**Sam looks between Genevieve and Anthony** I own ten percent, the rest is the banks and Darcy is asking for what he calls a unofficial residency protection lisense,
Patrick O'Keeffe (Nov 19, 2011 1:57:52 AM)
*he turned his attention to sam again as he spoke*
Brad Manchester (Nov 19, 2011 1:58:06 AM)
*He shakes his head with a disapproving frown* "Only because half the bar was exacerbating the situation. It's easy to play the hero when you've got a whole room of people behind you. But when those thugs come back and this lot isn't here? That bartender's going to get a caved-in skull. Courtesy of their 'charity'."
Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 1:58:07 AM)
So it looks like you're what... in need of fifteen large in order to stay afloat?
Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 1:58:35 AM)
"Playing hero really doesn't work out in anything other than movies, I find."
Geneviève Desmarais (Nov 19, 2011 1:59:12 AM)
*She laughs* He is asking for bullshit, you shouldn't need to do that...*She shook her head and then turns heading to the bathroom.*
Legion. (Nov 19, 2011 1:59:16 AM)
**he leans on the bar** It wont end. Once they get the rest, they'll lean on me whenever they scent a profit in it..... I'm already considering his offer
Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 1:59:49 AM)
And what offer was that, which he made?
Legion. (Nov 19, 2011 2:01:09 AM)
two hundred to pack up and walk... thats about one third I owe to the bank
Brad Manchester (Nov 19, 2011 2:01:18 AM)
"You find a lot of guys playing hero in your life?" *He inquired with wry amusement* "Anyhow, I'll go get our drinks." *Easing out of his chair, he strode across the short distance toward the bar where the conversation between Sam and Anthony was underway*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Nov 19, 2011 2:01:33 AM)
*as this is really none of his business and Tony has taken an interest in it all he sliped from his stool and placed some more money down on the counter before heading toward the exit* (and I am falling asleep so off I go. You all have fun)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 2:04:52 AM)
There are other options you know. *he gives Sam an evil little smile* It may not be the best thing in the world for you, but you can give them a big 'fuck you' in the process.
Legion. (Nov 19, 2011 2:05:04 AM)

Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 2:07:31 AM)
Well it's a bit sneaky and underhanded, but you could always sell the bar to a partner for a pittance, who would then let you run the place and purchase it back from him when the loan was paid off in full. Some partners are far more difficult to lean on than others.
Legion. (Nov 19, 2011 2:07:56 AM)
**The young girl is gorgeous. Blond and all legs** Sorry sam, I got cought up! **She hurries over to Brad and Amanda** are you folks all good?

Sam - I.. guess..
Amanda Reimmer (Nov 19, 2011 2:10:00 AM)
Brad had gone to the bar itself, approximately where others were already midconversation. There, he placed the order for his and Amanda's drinks. (He AFK'd again. AFK'ing jerk!)
Anthony S Barajas (Nov 19, 2011 2:10:59 AM)
We should really talk sometime in private. Tonight even, if you like, there are a lot of options available, if you take the time to see them through.

It's possible, of course. They have a variety of financial interests in the city, and I myself have others personally. I like to consider myself an angel investor, if only a small time one.

Of course. Oh, can I ask one small favor from you? It's a bit unorthodox, I know, but it may help you as much as it will me.
Sure, shoot
I'd love any details you have on this Darcy fellow, and anyone he works with or for. And perhaps a copy of the videofootage you might have taken of them tonight?
How long have you known Brad? *She clasp her hands together on the table.*
"Not long. A month, maybe. How about you? How do you know him?"
I can do that, and as I said, come around 4 tomorrow, and we can look this stuff over
**Sam goes off to spit out to copy the security feed**
Perfect. I'll be here...
*She raises her hand and rubs the back of her neck* We met in passing once and other then that, I don't recall.
"Ah. He's a great guy, you know. You should take the time to get to know him better." She looked over at Brad at the bar all... adoringly.
*She glanced to Brad and then back to Amanda and smiles* Yeah, you think so?
((aannnd that's the scene. Bad guys headed off without incident, deals offered and drinks served. We'll see what comes of the story another time. Now I have to run and fisnish with Jeff who chased after the goons.. thanks for playing))
*Anthony leans back against the bar, returning to the tequila glass that hasn't left his hand, finishing it off and placing it face down on the bar*
(Thanks Legion)

What do you do Amanda, if you don't mind me asking? *She smiles softly.*
"I'm getting into the modeling business. It's hard work, though. Lots of competition." She nodded over toward Anthony. "I bet he's one of them, too. Though Brad, he's incredibly handsome but relies on his intelligence rather than looks. See, that's what I mean. Great guy all around. What do you do? Genevieve, was it? I've got to find a shorter name to call you. How am I going to get wasted and still call you by your name, right?" She grinned.
A model? *She nods* I can see it, I wish you luck. *She laughs softly* You can call me Gene, and I work for the Coroner. *She smiles softly*
"Gene. Sweet. Wait, the Coroner? Morbid. What do you do exactly?"
*She nods* Very. *She sighs softly* I assist in cases when he needs another set of eyes and hands, though I've been doing more work as he takes vacations. *She grins slightly.* Disecting bodies and finding out what killed them, be it natural or unnatural.
"That sounds pretty horrific. I think I'd probably throw up. But hey, you got what it takes. Not everyone can do your job, that's for sure."
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 67.10.162.16)
*She nods* It comes natural for me...*She shrugs*
"Different strokes, I guess? What brings you here?"
Born and raised here...*She grins*
"Ah. And this bar in particular? You chose a good night to come and try to play hero. Bad idea, though. Those guys could have probably wiped the floor with you."
*She laughs* Yeah I don't know where that was coming from...*She sighs*
"From the crazy parts of your mind that thinks placing yourself at risk is a good idea. It never is. I mean, that's why bad things happen and bystanders just stand by, right?"
*She shakes her head* Nah, I don't think I was in any danger. *She frowns some* And at times bad things don't happen when bystanders take a stand to stop it...but I suppose it is all in the eye of the beholder.
"Bystanders stepping in to play hero? That's how the fatality count in the news article goes from 1 to 4."
( Anthony, you here? )
(Yep, I am)
Amanda looked over at Anthony. Once he managed to look back at her from that feeling he was being stared at, she waved him over to the table at which she and Genevieve were seated--one unoccupied chair marked saved by a drink there, and another open, untaken chair near.
*He tosses her a smile and a wink, before grabbing a beer from a waitresses tray and heading over in their direction* Looking for company?
*She looks up to Anthony and offers her hand* Hi, don't think we have met...
"Sure. Siddown. I wanted to ask you what you know about all this bar stuff. You seemed to jump right into that mess like a crazy person. You know the bartender or something? Or you also like to play hero?"
Actually I think he handled it better then I did..*She smiles*
I didn't know him before, but I do now... *grinning slightly* No, I like to make money and ruin marriages. While I didn't spot a ring on his finger, I did spot an opportunity for an investment.
Oh, nice..*She chuckles softly*
"Ah. Okay. See, Gene? I told you. Never a good idea to play hero. Now, playing looking-for-investments-for-personal-gain? That's far more reasonable."
*She chuckles* Yes, I'll remember that for next time.
Speaking of next time, there's likely going to be a next time. I don't suppose you're capable of backing up those threats.... *he grins a bit at Gene, as he really already knows the answer to that one, based on his earlier evocation*
Well, I haven't really stretched my wings in a while, but *She shrugs* If I can come prepaired, who knows. Fighting now, from back then is an entirely different...its..*She shrugs again frowning some*

*Tom comes back to the bar, much later.*
((Jeff!))
( Ha! )
((I'm stupid at 6am))
(*chuckles* Bah, no worries we all get like that at ass crack of dawn)
"These people sound pretty serious, though. I don't know that fuckin' around with that nonsense is a good idea."
*He walks over to Anthony and the people he is with* Anthony.
They are only as though as they are in a group. You get them alone and they are all whimpering snivling shits...
*She looks up to Jeff and nods to him.*
The leader was carrying an infected Mal- *he cuts off his words and glances over to Jeff nodding to him* Hey there Jeff.
She turned her eyes to Jeff as he approached the table to talk to Anthony.
*He nods back to Genevieve and asks Anthony* Would you mind introducing the ladies to me?
Well to be honest, we hadn't gotten around to names yet, so maybe we can all go around the circle now.
She nodded, flashing a smile to the newest guy. He seemed exceptionally polite. "I'm Amanda."
*He nods*
Pleasure to meet you Amanda. I'm Jeff. I've seen you before, though I doubt you remember.
You're Chris's sister, right?
Her brows furrowed at the question, seemingly caught off guard. "... Yeah? You know him? How'd you know who I am?"
I'm Genevieve *She smiled to Jeff and Anthony.*
And I, of course, am Anthony but that's already been given away.
Pleasure to meet you, Genevieve... *And he answers Amanda* I saw you once... And some guy who had hit on you when you were with Chris told me you were his sis.
"Ahh. I see. Small world, right?"
*Nods*
You have no idea...*She chuckles shaking her head*
"Man. He seems to know like, eeeveryone around here." She chuckled and shook her head. Just like Chris. To get all sociable.
I don't know him all that well, I guess.
Were you guys talking about that crew that was in here, when I walked in?
"Yeah."
*She nods* Yep, that they are just a bunch of bullies
Indeed we were. But I disagree Gene, they're more than a bunch of bullies. Thralls, at the very least; or Darcy is. They may be more than that, and their purpose is likely more than a simple shakedown.
*He sits down, uninvited, and speaks in a quiet voice* My advice... Thread careful around them. Their boss is involved with some really big wigs... Maybe even with our... AND maybe with his enemies. He's also dealing in the millions, not just petty crime anymore...
((with our boss))
...*She blinks* Seriously, oh shit, it must be that guy from the other night. That one that had Manny pissing himself...oh..I really did put my foot in it.
What guy?
"You guys work for the same company or something? Oh, man. You guys aren't in a gang, are you? Some gang rivalry bullshit?"
*Hearing the talk of thralls, he looks at Amanda, wondering about her.*
*He smirks to her* Does it look like there is a gang in the world where both him and I would fit? *He asks her, eyeing the elegant Anthony.*
"Fuck, I don't know. I hear gangs are going white-collar these days."
I do'nt recall his name...*She sighs* We were....damn I can't recall the club now either. We went to look at Manny, but there were others that got to him before us. And this guy had Manny back against the wall and his guys shaking in theri boots. He didn't touch them, just spoke to him...
Who else was with you?
I run with lawyers, Amanda, they're far worse than gangs, to be sure.
And I'm a car mechanic. You need your car fixed, you can come talk to me.
"The guy I'm seeing? He's also a lawyer. You two should get together and share lawyer jokes."
He drives a rusty cleaning truck...I was gonna follow, but...um...*She closes her eyes* There were a bunch of us. Evangaline, Peyton, or Paige, Chris...*She tilts her head some* Moses guy was there and Skye, Sam was there too I think. It was a few days ago, I'm sorry that I can't recall all of it...
She eyed Genevieve for a quiet moment. Those names had to be coincidental. Not everyone in this town knew each other. That'd be creepy.
Ok. I can just ask Eva.
Oh, I think Darren was there too...*She slouches*
*She nods* Yeah that is probably best cause its her case we are working on.
And here Paige was just telling me she didn't know these fine fellows. The lying minx.. *shaking his head a bit, the smile tightening*
*She giggles* She is a crafty one that.
*He nods to Genevieve*
*And watches Amanda curiously*
"Everyone here knows everyone else? Or I'm just falling into the same circles as my brother? Man, as much as I like to think I'm not just like him, sometimes I question the notion." She chuckled. "I'm probably going to have to go outside the city to make a friend of my very own, eh?"
*She smiled to Amanda* I think you ae falling into the same circiles as your brother. And perhaps it just cna't be helped.
"But this thing. With these villains. Why you guys so interested in it? It's not really your business, is it? It's a lot of risk."
Oh don't worry, Amanda. If you make friends with me then you certainly won't be making the same friends as your brother... he quite despises me, I'm sure. *batting his eyes at her and giving her a more charming smile* Would you like to be friends, just to infuriate him?
"Boy, -would- I!"
*She laughs*
*He remains quiet, watching Anthony distract Amanda. Apparently, he's not really good at small talk.*
Well then it's settled, we need to become quite good friends then... *the smiling breaking out into a grin, before he glances at Jeff* Did you get a look at the blade the leader carried?
No. I wasn't too worried about them, really. It was quite long, though.
And of 'Factor origin. Infected or tainted with something... nasty.

(dun dun dun :-p)
( Yay! )
*Frowns again, but nods* Still not really worried.
*She glances from Jeff to Anthony and back* Well if he isn't worried...*She grins*
Not saying you should be, but it's an item of interest at the very least. Shows that the man may have some value to his boss.
It means we got bigger troubles than a knife.
*She, Amanda, Anthony and Jeff all sat at Amanda's table*
But I'm not sure this is the best place, or time, to discuss this.
*He is still suspicious about Amanda hearing all this. She doesn't seem to be in the know.*
Agreed. We should make a point of talking later. But not too much later.
*Evidently sequestered at the bar for a long phone call, he finished up and replaced the device back in his pocket. Taking the drinks he bought into hand, he sighed inaudibly at the feel of them warmed. Turning, he noted that like moths to a flame, all the Sebettu were crowded around Amanda*
*He nods*
One might get the impression that Amanda is pretending to follow the conversation when she actually doesn't understand what the hell they're talking about. Ha. She smiled adoringly at Brad as he approached the table, clearly delighted to see him and the drinks in his hands. "Thanks, Brad."
*She wiggles her fingers at Brad* Hey, welcome back, hope everything is okay.
*He nodded a silent welcome to her before turning and setting an irritated and expectant gaze on his contemporaries* "...yes?"
Good to hear...*She smiled*
*Jeff had just nodded in greeting to Brad again, but remained quiet.*
Um, well..*She moves to make room for Brad to sit.*
Amanda had saved Brad's seat while he'd been away--the one right beside her.
*He hadn't moved yet to retake his seat. It had evidently left him somewhat unnerved to have returned and found the pervading presence of so many Fallen cluttered innocuously around his date. He continued to stare and wait, eyes flitting from one to the next for an explanation*
"We were chatting about that group of villains who came by and started to stir things up. From what I'm gathering, there's a guy who these people are going to go beat up or something or another. It got complicated. I don't get the whole story. See, I think they should just let well enough alone and not get involved."
"And they felt compelled to come entreat you to their plans." *He said slowly with a faint air of condescension*
"I guess so. I'm not participating. Ha. Fuck no. I'm not crazy. Theeeese people are crazy."
But since we seem to have wrapped that up rather nicely... *grinning over at Amanda* Would you like my number, Amanda, or would you rather I give you a call?
*She nods to what Amanda said, was going to say it she beat her to the punch, smiles.* Well, there is more to it then just tonight. Much more. Much, much more it seems. *She frowns* Ah, sorry that is probably my fault, yes. I came to join her as she was sitting alone. *She shrugs and then chuckles softly.*
*He began to respond to her comment, but caught himself as his eyes flitted from Anthony back toward Amanda*
"You got a business card or something?" She asked Anthony. Her eyes turned to Brad, catching that... that look. "This guy here knows my brother. I guess him and my brother don't get along too well. We're figuring we ought to be friends to piss him off but good." She grinned mischievously, and her smile softened. "It's okay."
Of course I do. One can't be a lawyer without a stack of business cards. Why then, how would I go chasing ambulences without cards to supply to the victims espousing my many, many virtues... *a sly little grin* Not that I have all that many, truth be told, but there are a few virtues I can hide behind during desparate times. *And with that, he hands her a little gold-embossed business card.*
"...your brother." *He repeats and shakes his head* "Alright. You two catch up, that was work on the phone and there's something at the office that while could wait, probably shouldn't."
"Oh! I was telling Anthony that you're a lawyer, Brad. And that you two should get together to tell lawyer jokes."
"Wait, you're leaving, Brad? C'mon, just... stay here a while and have some drinks, yeah?"
*She inhales and rises to her feet* Yeah I think I should be heading off too...got work and all that. Nice meeting you two again...*She waves and slips from her seat.*
"I can't. If you're up, I might call you later when I finish up." *He took a sip from his untouched rum and coke and set it on a napkin on the table. Sifting through his billfold, he selected two ten dollar bills and laid them on the table*
"Okay. I'll be up, then." She watched Brad carefully while he readied himself to go.
"Bet you will be." *He answered, repositng the billfold into his coat pocket* "Genevieve. Anthony. Jeff." *He states politely to each in turn before moving to exuent the stage*
I'll walk out with you Brad, heading the same way
Don't stay up too late, it just doesn't pay to kill yourself over work. *nodding to Brad as he heads out*
((Sorry, I got flooded with PMs))
Later Brad. Genevieve.
*He accompanies Genevieve outside*
