[[ok big colonial mansion... if you google maps the place you can see what it looks like... btw i dont think i mentioned that all the locations in the game are real places you can find on real maps.]]
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 10:45:34 PM)
*Stepping out of the car and onto Maksim's driveway Sophie is suddenly assailed by the thought that she doesn't have time to change. She looks towards the house for a moment before glancing back to the car, smiling and shaking her head as she realises there's nothing that can be done at this late stage.* You guys ready?
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 10:46:41 PM)
Aswan slid out of the car, and just nodded. He took in the view of the mansion, while shaking his head.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 10:47:42 PM)
"Yes...." She would step from the car. A small smuged from LA swas still on her shoe. She frowned as she stood and started to walk towards the maison that stood before them. "Let's see what our new friend has to say about his contact."
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 10:48:38 PM)
*She looks between Aswan and Savannah for a moment while they wait at the door.* Remember guys we are trying -not- to piss off the guy most likely to become the most powerful man in the city... right?
steev (Sep 9, 2010 10:48:55 PM)
*The fornt door would open before they could knock and a middle aged man in a suit would greet them* Hello you are expected... the boss says for you all to head on in quick. Though next time if you don't dress correctly I can't let you in. *He would motion fhem to a door immediately to their left*
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 10:50:04 PM)
Aswan just shook his head, "There's a flip'n dress code? Yeah, I'm never coming back then." He walked the wayt the man directed them.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 10:50:41 PM)
*Sophie pulls a small face behind the doormans back as she speaks quietly to Savannah.* I just -knew- that would be an issue.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 10:51:17 PM)
"Oh my... I didn't even think about such a thing... We we do thank him for his graciousness." Savannah looked down to her tailored and desiner dress and then to Swan and Sophie. She would step in to the club and make her way back to the same room that they had met in once before. "Well you you know you should have packed an extra bag, Silly."
steev (Sep 9, 2010 10:52:50 PM)
*after they are ushered in the door would close behind them. A very short while later from another door Maksim would enter. Well dressed and graceful as he walked. commanding and authoratative without trying to be. Yet open and friendly at the same time* Well hello again friends... *He stepped to Aswan first and extended a hand* Maksim... pleasure to meet you.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 10:54:11 PM)
*She grins at Savannah with her sparkling gaze speaking softly to her while Maksim and Swan go through their introductions.* I didn't think of it till we got here and I couldn't change on the driveway.
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 10:55:55 PM)
Aswan just crossed his arms, ignoring the man's offer. "I don't touch Fallen...a rule of thumb." He stood his ground, yet played nicer than he wanted.
steev (Sep 9, 2010 10:57:06 PM)
Fair enough... A pleasure none the less. *He smiled graciously and then stepped over to Savanah. Offering his cheek he rested a hand lightlyon her hip* good to see you again dear.
steev (Sep 9, 2010 11:00:51 PM)
(This user is now known as Maksim)
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:00:57 PM)
"And good to see you as well Maksim. I do hope the day has dfound you fair." She walked to him and leaned in to offer up a soft bis to the cheek. A small step back taken as she looked to him and then to Sophie. A glint of something quite mischevious in her eyes.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:02:10 PM)
*When Maksim turns to her Sophie quickly offers her hand, having come to the conclusion that the fascinating devil was far too good at the art of charm for her to hope to compete.* Thank you for seeing us on such short notice, we've really only just come to the conclusion that I suspect you knew all along.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:02:23 PM)
*Then lastly making his way to Sophie. He would step close giving his back to the other two.* Going for hobochik today I see... *He smiled slightly as he jibed*
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:02:55 PM)
*Leaning forward he would ignore the hand and simply offer his cheek to her*
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:03:39 PM)
*She grins despite herself, her eyes sparkling as she is well and truly caught.* Apologies, your doorman already told me off for dressing inappropriately for a visit. *Her attempt ignored she leans towards him and places a brief kiss upon his cheek.*
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:04:38 PM)
Aswan scoffs at the display before him, but stays silent.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:04:45 PM)
It is just the clubneeds to keep up certain appearances for the membership. I am sure you understand. We should most likely start meeting elsewhere though. Now how did your trip go, and can I get anyone a drink?
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:06:02 PM)
.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:07:23 PM)
I am thoroughly chastened. *Her eyes sparkle and it seems to her companions that she is far from chastened as the lammasu can't help but find amusement in the situation.* You knew it wasn't the archduke though didn't you?
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:08:37 PM)
No... he may still be in the mix. I honestly don't know. *Stepping over to the bar he would fix himself a gin and tonic before turning back to face them* Like I said originally though I still maintain the book is a myth...
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:08:53 PM)
Aswan stepped back to the wall, and just watched. Better to not play at all then play and mess things up.
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:09:12 PM)
Aswan added a chuckle to his silence.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:11:19 PM)
*She nodded moving towards the bar and sliding onto a stool before it, crossing her legs and leaning forward to rest an elbow on the counter.* I think it's likely you are right, but also possible that whoever wants it believes it is very real. It seems at the moment that whoever is visiting us is likely an earthbound, though not the one they claim to be... which leaves us wondering if there are any near New Orleans?
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:12:33 PM)
Savannah's lips curved to a smile as she let Sophie go to town on maksim. There was something devious about the way she smiled and the transient light that flickered in her eyes. "Who would want to pretend to be the Archduke Maksim?"
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:12:58 PM)
I personally only know of one... Pathetic little thing really. Name of Ea... I don't really see him having anything to do with this. He has a group of followers just outside the city.... swamp folk. Not much of a threat to anything really.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:13:13 PM)
As for pretending..., who wouldn't want to?
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:14:39 PM)
But if this one on the outskirts of town wanted us to take them seriously they would need to adopt a new name. *She bites a little on her bottom lip.* I don't suppose his hideaway is anywhere near Highway *please insert the address the mortal gave us where he delivered the chickens to* is it?
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:15:46 PM)
No... He is nowhere near civilization, and unless the emissary you dealt with was toothless and intelligible when they spoke... I don't know.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:16:39 PM)
unintelligible*]
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:17:33 PM)
*She nods a small crease appearing upon her forehead.* What other creature could directly posess their messengers though?
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:19:23 PM)
*He shrugged* Guess you have some work to do don't you? If you need any more help please let me know.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:19:28 PM)
"No... this messager did have some kind of.... well... they did not have inbreeding that was for sure. No this one was a musician and a welp of a thing. Snivling and shivering and sputtering." She shook her head and sighed as if she pittied the poor thing
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:20:42 PM)
Musicians in New Orleans are kind of like rats in New York... unless you could tell me something specific about where he came from or who he was I can't help you. *Taking a sip of his drink*
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:20:43 PM)
"Yeah, why wouldn't E want to fuck with D?," his word dripping with sarcasm.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:23:03 PM)
"A trumpet player. Very attached to his instrument. To much so that he started going in to shivers and fits when he thought that he had lost it." She took a sit on one fof the couche and corssed her legs at the knees. Her boody streached slightly like that of a cats. "Does that ring any bells?"
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:24:11 PM)
*She smiles as Maksim politely dismisses them though with Savannah she sticks doggedly to the conversation at hand.* Going by the name Joe Evans.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:25:02 PM)
Savanah dear... any musician paying for his life with small gigs here and there would die without his instrument and no way to replace it. It is all they know how to do really. You need to learn more about what people have become. Makes using them much more effective.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:25:42 PM)
.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:26:44 PM)
"Hmmm.... for some reason what you're saying is suprising to me." The words were spoken with the straightest of face. It seemed the lofty world of her host did not include and education on how the real people in the world live. "Maksim... I jsut have one more thing before I'm out of your hair..."
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:27:18 PM)
Anything... what can I do to service you? *he grinned at her*
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:28:52 PM)
"Oh I have alist as long as the sea is deep......however.... This.. entity. It's searching for this book and it obviously wants it. We're unsure of who it really is or what it's abilities or movtives. If we don't deliver this book it's going to be very upset and we now for a fat that we will not be deliving the book. So now the question becomes how to deal with such a thing."
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:30:33 PM)
Haveyou spoken to that annoying little book dealer I told you about?
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:30:55 PM)
*Sophie smiles as she glances between Savannah and Maksim.* Claim to have the book so it sticks it's head out where we can see it? *Her eyes sparkle as a sudden thought occurs to her.*
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:31:19 PM)
"I know it is a harsh and cruel fate... but... Do you think it is a possibility that we create a false book. It would be am imbured book so tht when he was near it, he's feel it. However.... the book would not be a book of names. Instead a book of... well.. containtment." Her index finger came up to her lips. Se tapped the tip of it against those soft lips as she watched Maksim. "No. we haven't spoken to the book dealer yeat... just your very short friend in LA."
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:32:37 PM)
*He smiled a bit* I would talk to him and see what he could tell you about it. He knows way too much, though he can be pricey at times. Your other idea seems amazingly plausible though.
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:33:32 PM)
"Where's this book dealer? Maybe I can click with him, you know smart guy to smart guy," Aswan asked.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:33:57 PM)
Savanah has his card...
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:34:01 PM)
*Slipping off the stool she pushes it back under the bar.* There is another good part of the plan of course. If we could fake the book and get this enemy to stick it's neck out, why the person who dealt with the creature would have proven by strength that they had a right to lead the city.
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:35:08 PM)
Well then I do hope that whoever steps up todeal with the thing is strong enough to maintain a domain here. I think it is something that would be quite difficult to do really.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:35:56 PM)
.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:37:08 PM)
We can but live in hope. *She smiles as she waits to see if Savannah has finished asking her questions.*
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:37:10 PM)
Her brows rose and her head turned to look to Sophie. It would seem the responce shocked her. "Surely Maksim... if you were in the market for those to stand at your word.. the presteige of guiding the effort to rid the city of a menece is alluring as well... "
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:39:19 PM)
It would be perhaps, though solving the problems of others is no way to help them strengthen themselves now is it? After all a truely good leader seeks those worthy enough to follow him. A lord is only as strong as the shoulders upon which he stands.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:40:53 PM)
"You are as slick as a snak in oil, but you know tht don't you?" She would rise from the couch that she was sitting on. Her eyes still rested on Maksim. "Well all of this travel has gotten me feeling faint. I do believe it is time that I retire."
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:41:43 PM)
You have a wonderful evening then... call on me any time you wish. *HE moved over to Savannah and offer his cheek*
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:42:16 PM)
"Yeah, I think I'm done with King Dick here...only so much crap I can take per day," he headed toward the door.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:42:59 PM)
Thank you for your time Maksim. *She closes her eyes with a sigh as Swan talks, her jaw clenching just a little.*
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:43:47 PM)
Your friend should watch his mouth... I am the most forgiving of those that reside here. In the presence of others he might find himself torn from that pretty little body of his. *His tone and demeanor never anything but pleasant*
Aswan Kaguro (Sep 9, 2010 11:45:04 PM)
"No, you need to watch yourself..." he stopped, but didn't turn, "lest your Ivory tower cubmles beneath you..." And with that Aswan left the room, and headed back to his place.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:45:18 PM)
Really? *Sophie opens her eyes, a smile on her lips once more.* Where can I find them to make the introductions?
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:46:21 PM)
"Well aren't you just sugar sweet." She went to him and gave another peck on the cheek. Her lips lingered by his ear. "And your patients is always appreciated." She smiled a bit and she shsteppe back. "What is about you Maksim. Either either one end of the spectrum or the other." She offered a smallw ave to Sophie as she stepped from the room and made her way home.
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:46:25 PM)
(night y'all. it was fun)
Savannah Devereaux (Sep 9, 2010 11:46:28 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 24.27.46.8)
Maksim (Sep 9, 2010 11:47:34 PM)
I believe he makes himself known at the Rock and Bowl down at the Mid City Lanes... *He smiled* Seriously though... watch your friends. They speak very quickly to those with no patience for words and their light will be extinguished. I let the universe choose who has worth... others do not.
Sophie Willows (Sep 9, 2010 11:49:15 PM)
*Waving to Savannah she shakes her head a little and turns back to Maksim.* We are creatures of order, of structure and heirachy. Without it we all blow lost, there is little I can do to guide them because I was not made for the role that needs to be filled.
