Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:32:25 PM)
*Perri was in her study, looking over the contents of a folder that lay open before her on the desk*

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:33:05 PM)
*He approached her study slowly and knocked on it firmly, but only enough to be heard*

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:34:29 PM)
Come in *Called out as she closed the folder. Francis, a gangert type would be outside the door. He nodded to James, and opened the door so he could go in*

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:35:30 PM)
*He nodded to the man as he slipped through the door. Making sure it closed behind him as he approached her desk with a smile* My Lady Tyrant, how are you tonight?

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:37:29 PM)
*he smiled warmly* I am well, and you? *She indicated the seat before her desk* Please have as eat

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:37:38 PM)
Libre tha tis

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:37:42 PM)
(dlp)

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:38:21 PM)
*He slipped into the seat before her and smiled as he settled into it* I hope I am not interupting anything important

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:40:10 PM)
I always make time for those in my Court. what brings you out?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:41:57 PM)
To discuss our prior proposal... I have thought of something perhaps more fitting to the situation perhaps.... I think I would be of better use to you serving another leige, one whom I can trust and know I can work for with little hesitation, and thus far what seems to be little... questioning between myself and them.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:43:44 PM)
I see. We have another Lord in this region if you are interested

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:46:25 PM)
I was thinking more specifically of serving you directly Lady Santana... It is not easy fo one with memories the likes of which I have, memories clear, of commanding hundreds of our kind, in an area larger than the state of lousiana. To bend will to those whom may never have even held any rank.... Especially those whom I do not know... But you Perri have seemed a worthy leader thus far, and one whom I would physically not just metaphorically bend knee to.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:47:41 PM)
I see. *She thought on that a moment.* Do you trust me, James?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:48:53 PM)
More than any of those I know currently... Though keep in mind its not a blind trust or faith.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:51:33 PM)
Are you willing to work your way up? I know it is not your fomrer position to start, but even I have some constraints. If you are, you will soon have your own domain, and vassals of your own. I promise you that

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:52:34 PM)
What is it that you are offering me exactly, just be upfront with me about that... not as vague as Juhani, and do not ask me to be a boot licker for anyone as he sought

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 9:56:30 PM)
ONly my boots, James. *She smiled slowly. as you are new to this city and Court, I will offer you the position of Thane. Once you have soem time with me, then we will carve out your domain and move you up from there.

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 9:59:46 PM)
If it were anyone else.... I would perhaps laugh, openly at the offer of something so far beneath what I was.... but given I presently do not have the strength of my former self to just step up and take that which belonged to me rightfully. I will be content with serving one I feel to be a fair and just leader, though know this... I am an ambitious person, and will seek that which was mine fervently.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:00:51 PM)
I hoe that you do and I am counting on it James. You see...*She paused* There was a court here years ago. Something happened and we are not sure as yet what, but there has been nothing since. It is up to us to reform this city and make it our own again

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:03:11 PM)
My designs in general stretch far beyond the simple little city of new orleans... but it is a good starting point, and staging grounds for things.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:05:42 PM)
There are ways to achieve what you want. Once we have this cuty settled and reclaimed, I fully intend to expand. And those of my Court will as well.

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:07:48 PM)
Oh believe me my liege... I know many a way to go about achieving my goals.... and even this is a part of them... it just has the added bonus to it, that I actually like you.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:09:30 PM)
*She smiled once again at that* Do you now? I find that surprising, given what you recall of my past

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:11:04 PM)
Like me, your past is who you were, not who you are now. *He sat forward, his oddly colored eyes meeting her own*

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:12:10 PM)
Perhaps. *She shrugged* Who si to say that it does not change those we take over?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:13:58 PM)
None of us is the same after our time in the pit, Perri. I do not know the extent to which it affected you, but what you show now, I like.And so I judge you on who you are, not who you were

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:16:23 PM)
and what I have accomplished I Hope?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:20:39 PM)
Yes of course... though I base it more off what I see and hear personally, taking your time to speak with me... I am not like others fawning over your power, and position, or even your obvious physical beauty.... Cause truthfully, if I did not respect you and what I have heard you have done... I would tell you to take the title of Overlord and leap back into the pit with it, if you offered it too me.... Yet, I have accepted from you a title, many many below what I once possessed

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:23:09 PM)
Do your work well and it won't be that way foer long James.

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:23:42 PM)
Do your work well enough my Leige, and perhaps I wont really care how long it takes *He grinned slightly*

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:25:25 PM)
I will give you this promise... you do your job, to your utmost... and I will never give you any less than that myself

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:28:05 PM)
That is all I can ask of any of you isn't it?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:28:56 PM)
thats all leige and lord can ever ask of eachother... its all I ever asked of my brethren back then

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:29:44 PM)
leige and lackey)

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:30:35 PM)
*she nodded* It is also what spurs lackeys to better thier position, as much as I dislike that term

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:32:15 PM)
As much as you dislike it? Which one of us is the lackey here? *He chuckled and teased, reaching into his jacket. He pulled out a flask shaped glass bottle, no metal for this drink and opened it, taking a sip before offering it towards her* HMmm a drink to seal the deal as it were my lady? Its abit of jameson's from my private stash at home.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:32:52 PM)
Very well. *she took the flask, had a sip, then wiped away the lipstick*

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:35:26 PM)
As Bogart said at the end of Casablanca... I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:38:41 PM)
*That got a laugh from her* Indeed. Welcome to the fold.

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:39:57 PM)
Ohhh that sounds almost ominous *He laughed lightly* Thank you my lady *He bowed his head*

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:41:24 PM)
You are most welcome. I am sure you will be most successful

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:42:29 PM)
I am sure working together, we will both be very successful

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 10:46:13 PM)
*she nodded once more as there was a knock at the door* That will be Francis. Send him in on your way out?

James Laurence (Nov 15, 2010 10:48:12 PM)
Very well my lady *He stood and turned to head out* Ohh and now that I work for you, knowing my specialty, is combat and tactics... think you can help me obtain some tougher weapons, at least till i find mine. Hehe? I will leave you at that request (meaning perhaps a gun or two( *Turning to send francis in on his way out*

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:02:15 PM)
(So, swan might have noticed a car in his general vicinty but coudl not be sure)

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:03:02 PM)
*Perri was standing before the window in her study at the plantation. Outside her door, Francis was on duty.*

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:03:31 PM)
[Maksim...curses]

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:04:09 PM)
Aswan made his way to the door, knocking. He wore black slacks with a buttoned black shirt tucked into them. Over the shirt he had a black coat, while around his neck he wore a black tie with a blood red slpash on it, that left a black swan outline in the middle.. His feet covered with shined black shoes. His black hair in a fauxhawk. A messenger bag, carrying his laptop and other essentails, was slung over his left shoulder across his chest, and rested on his right hip. He waited, watchign around a littl.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:06:55 PM)
*Francis opened the door and motioned him on in. Once he was, the door closed behind him. Perri spoke fromteh window* Swan

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:08:02 PM)
"Yes Perri?" Aswan kept it informal, as per their agreement, as he made his way to the window.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:09:26 PM)
*She turned to face him, her expression unreadable* I have a couple of things for you. First, *And her tone grew firmer* What the hell was that insult to one of the Aurochs in a letter read in open Court?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:10:36 PM)
"It was an attempt to lighten the mood. Cause I know the subject matter was very tense," his tone unchanged as he defended his actions.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:11:55 PM)
Perhaps there was a better way then insulting a fellow Minister? *She moved over to a butler's cart in the corner and poured two glasses of brandy. carrying one back she held it out to him*

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:13:00 PM)
"Probably, but I'm not one to pick on people below me. And Juhani was the first name that came to mind when I wrote it," he would take the glass in his hand.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:18:56 PM)
Good luck getting him to swallow that. You know he will haev soemthing to say about it. *she took a sip and sat in one of the two chairs before her desk*

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:19:50 PM)
Aswan eased intot he other chair, takigna small sip, "Well, if nothing else I opend dialogue channels between he and I."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:20:19 PM)
*That finally got a smile* Ever hear of 'Hi Juhani, feel like soem coffee'?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:21:21 PM)
"Does that even remotely sound liek me, Perri?" A smirk on his face.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:22:15 PM)
No but it would cause much less furor. *She swirled her glass then took a sip* HOw do you plan to make it up to him?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:23:01 PM)
"By takign both Earthbound out of the picture. And Maksim too," he swirled his glass as well, takign a sip.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:25:01 PM)
You are aware that the vote was tabled till you could be present to asnwer questions?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:25:52 PM)
"I am, but I will go forward with my plan even without backing. This is just a formality of my meetign with E."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:26:39 PM)
I think you can get it through, they just want to know a bit more than "I am helping out one of our sworn enemies, what ya think?"

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:27:24 PM)
Aswan chuckled, "I'm sure. I at leasted wanted them informed, hence the note in my absence."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:28:13 PM)
*She watched him a moment and shifted slighty* Alright, off the record, Perri to Swan.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:28:40 PM)
"Off the record, Perri to Swan what?"

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:30:00 PM)
I know your heart's in the right place. I know you. I appreciate what a huge sacrifice this could be for you.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:31:45 PM)
"You wanna know the detail..." Aswan shook his head slightly, "...would if I could, Perri. But a deal's a deal. Just know, no one else is at risk of loosign anything, and my risk in minimal. Help for help, liek I said.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:34:33 PM)
And when her enemy is gone? What will she want then?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:35:26 PM)
"Her creations, the Deep Ones. I, or we, return their worship to her, she aides me, us."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:36:15 PM)
And when ehr enemy is gone, who is to stop her?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:36:38 PM)
"Her word, and me."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:37:16 PM)
*she slowly nodded* I will have to trust you on this one. BUt fair warning, my friend. If she claims you? I will kill you myself.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:38:01 PM)
"I'd have it no other way...but fair warning, if it comes to that, watch out for Jacqi."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:39:21 PM)
Why?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:39:58 PM)
"You need to get out more, Perri," a smirk was all he followed with.

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:41:09 PM)
LIke that is it? *Her expression turned serious* You know that is nearly impossible now.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:41:50 PM)
"How so?"

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:44:00 PM)
*she rae* Given what I am now? Its like a movie star. DO they want her or her celebrity?

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:45:45 PM)
Aswan chuckled, "But rememebr what else you are. Fuck them up if you have to to enjoy your freedom...otherwise this is just another Pit."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:51:30 PM)
Good point. Suggestions?

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:51:38 PM)
There are few I trust to get that close to.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:52:00 PM)
Aswan laughed, "Asking me for a hang out? Must be desperate."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:52:16 PM)
You know me as well as any.

Aswan Kaguro (Nov 15, 2010 11:53:26 PM)
"Try a movie, start small. Then command the nightlife of New Orleans."

Perri Santana (Nov 15, 2010 11:55:59 PM)
With Maksim loose? THat might not be so smart. What are you doing with him anyway
