*Jacqui would show up today in her low pumps, a stripped skirt suit, and a mint green blowse*
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:38:43 PM)
(pin striped skirt - sorry can't type today)
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 8:40:29 PM)
*Alex would arrive in casual attire as well, consisting of denim jeans and a flannel shirt with cowboy boots to complete the outfit. But at least he was travelling unarmed, leaving his weapon in the trunk of the car that he brought with him, as he entered the conference room and inclined his head to Jacque* Evening.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:41:38 PM)
*she would smile at him* good evening, I'm sorry to bother you, but some issues have come to my notice and rather than investigate them myself I believe they fall under the jurisdiction of your ministry
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:42:55 PM)
*and Jacqui always has her gun on her anymore- likely not even considering the idea of taking it off- though not sure if he could detect it or not*
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 8:44:44 PM)
*Moving over to take a seat in one of the chairs, leaning back and crossing his right leg over his left and interlacing his fingers on the table* It's no bother, since things have been rather quiet of late, relatively speaking. Which has me worried, but then again I've always been a bit of a pessimist. What's on your mind?
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:45:11 PM)
I think something has happened to Perri- she's not been herself lately- it's like someone has taken her place
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 8:48:52 PM)
*An eyebrow goes up* In what way? I've not seen her for some time, so it seems that I have been missing something
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:52:02 PM)
me and Perri were very good friends- she used to visit me- in fact we were good enough freinds that I had her permission to share David's bed- recently she's just stopped coming to see me, when I've made reports she's just taken the information not spending any time talking- I just chalked it up to being busy, then court before last because sophie through a fit and Rohan backed her she was dissolved court- said she was going to wash her hands of us- made us beg her to stay- that's not the Perri we agreed to follow- I chalked it up to stress and a bad night- then last court Caleb report a troubling matter- she made it known that she wanted the entire court with out any kind of organization- people just doing what every they thought was best and stormed out of court when as head of eagles I objected to have everyone doing what ever they wanted in the investigation like that
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 8:58:26 PM)
Hmm, yeah that doesn't sound like the Perri I have known since returning to this world, or before our imprisionment either. She was always rather stubborn and so wouldn't wash her hands of a situation unless it had absolutely fallen apart beyond any hope of being repaired. I had heard about the court being dissolved, but as you said I considered it simply a momentary weakness and outburst of emotion and frustration. But this bodes ill for the entire city, especially considering the foes amassing outside and within the city.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 8:59:16 PM)
it does- and I will continue to look for outside signs of what is going on, but I thought it better to follow procedure and turn over the internal investigation to your ministry
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:00:26 PM)
*then looking at him* how much do you remember of my house?
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:02:05 PM)
*Nods* What's left of it anyway. My own members seem to have been rather lax in their visible presence in the city. But we will do what is required of us to the best of our ability. *Reaches up and brushes one hand through his hair at her question* Not much. I remember working with those of your House when it came to deciding the course of rivers across the land, but little beyond such affairs unless combat missions required interaction.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:04:10 PM)
I haven't even remembered all of what I am and I could be perri phyisically- I could look like her- sound like her- move like her- but I wouldn't have her memories- I wouldn't have her personality except for what I could fake from knowing her- I don't think you can discount the possibility that one of my house has taken her place with what we know- as for the members of your ministry I see both Caleb and Alex on a regular basis, much more often than you in fact- perhaps you just miss each other
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:07:42 PM)
A doppelganger is possible, though as you said it would be difficult to make a convincing fraud without access to some of her memories, or be exceptionally lucky at guessing. It can't be ruled out at the moment, but I wouldn't consider it the most likely at this point. And most likely, we are. I prefer being in the background than out on the streets unless it's necessary.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:09:15 PM)
*nods* but it is the one I hope for since other solutions would include things like something having her true name or her cracking under the stress- neither of which is as easy to fix as someone holding her prisoner and trying to impersonate her and getting things wrong
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:11:20 PM)
Indeed. It is the prefered outcome, even if not the most probably. We will see as time unfolds what path is most likely to lead us to the truth, and until then do our best to prepare for the worst case possibilities.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:20:26 PM)
*she would nod- a very serious look on her face* I can gather the support to take her place if I need to Alexander- but to be honest I would rather have the Perri we know back- I like the possition I have and I don't want hers, but as a last resort if their is no other options it is there
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:24:44 PM)
With luck, it will not come to that anytime soon. But it is necessary to keep all the options on the table for the time being until we know more of what we're dealing with and why things are as they are.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:25:31 PM)
*she would nod* did you get my missive about sophie?
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:26:20 PM)
I did, yes. It may be that those two events are connected, as I am not a fan of coincidences.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:27:07 PM)
unfortunately I do not know anymore about the situation than I shared with you
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:28:38 PM)
*Nods* We will see what unfolds as we follow the evidence
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:29:07 PM)
oh, I was also informed that Esmea is a fallen now
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:32:08 PM)
Is she? Well, that makes for interesting times I'm sure.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:34:56 PM)
*she would nod* I'm afraid that's about it for my updates- afraid I don't have any good news for you today
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:36:26 PM)
Sometimes bad news is better than no news. At least we know something is going on instead of getting bit on the ass in surprise later
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:38:38 PM)
*she would nod* and just so you know I have gotten a bit better at defending myself- I'm still not a warrior, but if you need assistance for anything I will do my best
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:41:10 PM)
*Smirks* It's a good skill to have, regardless of what we consider ourselves to be. There are times when words no longer are sufficient and action is required, so it's good to be prepared for those times.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:42:06 PM)
I had to watch someone die, I've been practicing
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:44:19 PM)
*Nods* Whatever the motivation, if you need help in practicing, let me know and I'll do what I can to help with that.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:45:03 PM)
I'll take all the help I can get, I've had my thralls helping me shoot, and Grant made my gun better, and Alex's thralls have been helping me with hand to hand *sitting on the table next to where he is*
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:50:04 PM)
Sounds like you've been a busy girl alright. But practice makes perfect, so it's good that you are taking to it with enthusiasm. My own talents still have a bit of work left to go before they are back to how they were before our bondage, but at least it gives me something to make the time go by.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:53:04 PM)
*she would nod* mostly though I just work with people- that's why I like where I'm at- I hear what is going on
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:55:09 PM)
*Nods* Which helps explain why you are effective in the position. It makes a difference if you enjoy what you are doing rather than simply going through the motions on command.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 9:55:32 PM)
*she would nod* I am a people person
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 9:59:50 PM)
Whereas I would rather deal with metal or stone than people any day of the week. At least the elements are predictable and easily malliable
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:01:25 PM)
*she would reach out and touch her* people can be soft as well
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:02:29 PM)
(him not her)
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:02:51 PM)
*Reaching up to pat her hand with one of his own* Which may be part of the problem we are in now. They have become too soft while we were away. But, things are as they are and we can only work with what is available to us at the moment.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:04:18 PM)
but that isn't always a bad thing
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:07:05 PM)
It's like anything else, and depends on the circumstances involved as to whether being hard or being soft is preferable.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:07:49 PM)
you can go to far in either extream- but if we forget how to be soft then I think we will have lost just as much as if we are too soft to succeed
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:11:29 PM)
Perhaps. The situation is always changing, so what works today may be ineffective tomorrow. It is those who are most flexible that achieve success
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:12:19 PM)
*she would nod and wrap her arm around him* so what should we talk about now
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:13:48 PM)
*Smiles slightly* Well, as much as I would enjoy spending the rest of the evening with such lovely company, I must be going and tend to other matters that need my attention. (As I get ready to call it a night. New prescription is hitting me hard >.< )
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:14:34 PM)
(no problem- it was at the point she was just getting lonely anyway- she doesnt' go very long with out a cuddle partner :) )
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:15:50 PM)
(Hehe. Nothing wrong with a few spare cuddles now and then ^_^ )
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Apr 7, 2011 10:16:17 PM)
(lol but have a good night- don't risk health to talk to me)
Alexander Vicars (Apr 7, 2011 10:18:02 PM)
(Thanks for the scene, and catch ya later =) )
