*today the little defiler is in a pair of conservative black pumps, a knee length pin stripped suit skirt, and a light blue blouse that perfectly matches her heavenly eyes*

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:29:03 AM)
*the store is near empty by this hour just as she was opening, a redhaired girl behind the counter reading a George R.R. Martin book, over by the new releases rack Emma stands placing the new books in their proper order. TThe expanded product now floods the shelves both old and new, Magic, Yu-gi-Oh, Warhammer and D&D, and the list goes on. There is a set of stairs leading down into the basement recently revamped asa gaming arena, the tall shy woman placing books on the shelfs has her hair in a bun, her glasses barely on her nose and her respectable if not fashionable clothes are neat and fit well. *

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:30:32 AM)
Lisa, could you look up the new Harry Dresden book please? I need to know when it's due out." *the girl looks up* Sure thing Ms. Emm

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:30:35 AM)
*Jacqui looks around- seeming confused, obvious she's never been in a gaming store before* uhm I think I might be in the wrong place

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:31:12 AM)
(it's also preominantly, scifi/fantasy book store.the games are a recent addition, to make mroe money)

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:31:42 AM)
(yeah really not her scene- when you said book store I was thinking somewhere she could look at things like psychology and religious history books to buy)

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:33:20 AM)
(you'd be amazed how many people come into the store i work in forthatreason and end up leaving with multiple purchases, becoming steadioes)

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:33:45 AM)
(I can play her there- but she just stepped in and said she thinks she's in the wrong place)

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:35:03 AM)
*looks up and smiles* Good morning miss. Anything I can help you with?

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:37:06 AM)
I think I made a mistake- I thought this was a bookstore

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:48:22 AM)
it is *brightens up and gestures broadly at the dozens of shelves of sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural books

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:49:33 AM)
*she holds upa book in the box besidehr feet* We sel lal lthe very best in fiction, and recently we expanded into gamingand other merchandise. i'm hoping that will expand our client base.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:50:15 AM)
And you can go wrong in a bookstore ma'amselle, even if it was not the one you thought you wanted.

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:50:55 AM)
I was hoping to fine The idea of a social science and its relation to philosophy by Peter Winch and George Guess and Paul Farnham's Cases in public policy analysis

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:52:01 AM)
*she holds the book cose, the cover 'Angel's Desire is done in goldleaf, the picture on the cover is a stertypical beautiful man, with anglic wings and a fiery sword, a lovely woman by his side* I'm afraid we havothing like that ma'amselle, but you know, you meaure a society by it's fiction and mythos.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:52:33 AM)
*grins* I was a Historical and Literary sciences major

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:53:19 AM)
*she would chuckle* I don't think I would have had the patience for that- its hard enough understanding people when they can still tell you what they think they are thinking

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:55:39 AM)
oh cheri, Heinlien, Niven, Hubbard, Asimov, Sagan, David Drake, tolkien, Lewis...these men wrote about their own worlds and beliefs, they progressed thr uthe eras when many thought what they wrting about shouldnot be discussed. like Dante Alligheri & Mary Shelly, KEats and Byron..all brilliant and rebellious.

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:56:18 AM)
and everyone one can find their own meaning in it- it would drive me nuts to argue about what it did or didn't mean with out being able to talk to the person saying it

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:56:26 AM)
Heilin wrote about Transgender issues in the 50's, in the same book, he tackeld, gay, lesbian and bisexual sex.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:56:52 AM)
"I Shall fear no evil"

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:57:36 AM)
and I certainly aplaud his doing so- in fact if he was still alive I'd love to shake his hand for it, but I wouldn't have had the patience to try and analize works with out being able to talk to their author

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:58:06 AM)
*sighs happily and place sthe book with the masculine angel on the cover in it's proper slot on the shelf* We are put in our place cheri, as the reader, to interpet and understand what these writers speak of, what they want us to understand is that they can notmake up our minds for us.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:58:41 AM)
*giggles* and this is what science fiction conventions are for ma'amselle.

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:58:46 AM)
I've always been more interested in the people behind the ideas than the ideas

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:58:57 AM)
*she turns on ehr heel and extends her hand* I'm Emma Reynard, I own this store.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 10:59:12 AM)
Welcome to Voyager.

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 10:59:32 AM)
*she would take the hand shaking it* jacqueline Leblanc, therapist

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:00:00 AM)
*chuckles* and you do not like allegories and metaphors?

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:00:10 AM)
isn't that hte whole point oftherapy?

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:00:38 AM)
specifically I deal with relationships and the point of most of my sessions is to get people to stop dancing around what they want and just talk to each other

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:02:13 AM)
novel approach.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:02:34 AM)
*would you like some chicory coffee?

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:02:35 AM)
most of the problems I see are from people assuming and not talking

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:03:05 AM)
really?

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:05:13 AM)
*she would nod* that and people that try to lie to themselves so they can fit into what society deems to be appropriate behavior

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:06:11 AM)
*blushes* I wouldn't know about that.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:07:00 AM)
*pours her a cup and gestures to the table wit hmilk, cream, sugar and honey on it, also present are lots of homemade cookies of various types and a box of beignets*

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:07:07 AM)
I've dealt with people that felt the need to hide themselves, men that wanted to be with men- women that wanted to be with women, but yet they married someone of the opisite sex and tried to pretend they were happy so society would be nice to them

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:08:05 AM)
*she would reach out to take the coffee but before her hand gets all the way there her phone rings and her hand moves to it instead looking at the message that pops up* I'm sorry, that is my secratary reminding me that I have a patient coming in and must get back to the office (time for the player to go to work)

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:08:17 AM)
*blushes even further, almost wanting to say somethign but seemingly held back* I'm sure they had good reasons for hiding though.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:08:28 AM)
*shakes*

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:08:35 AM)
because they were afraid, no one should have to be afraid of who they are

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:08:54 AM)
please come back anytime. I'd love to talk soem more. most of my customers and my staff are not even old enough for colelge yet

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:09:27 AM)
*whispers in french* that is easy for someone who is beautful and successful ma chere.

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:09:49 AM)
to say, but harder one such we who are not so lucky

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:09:58 AM)
*she would smile and give her a card with her contact information on it- obviously a buisness card* sometimes those are the people that it is hardest for- they are the ones with the most to lose

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:10:27 AM)
*smiels weakly and sort of waves it off, placing the card on her register*

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:10:56 AM)
*she would smile* I'll try to stop in sometime- perhaps you could special order the books for me so I can get them all in the same trip?

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:13:12 AM)
oui ma'amselle. We're open 10 am to 2 am,

Emma Renault (Mar 16, 2011 11:13:26 AM)
i can havethem overnighted if you like.

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:13:48 AM)
*she would smile and make her way out* I'll stop back by tomorrow (I usually play early mornings central time and evenings central time)

Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Mar 16, 2011 11:16:39 AM)
