Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:42:12 PM)
*Steven headed up to the cabin after getting wind that someone needed to speak to him out here. How he got word of it.. a tribal secret.. He mused to himself that his time was in such high demand since he returned. It it weren't his own pack cockblocking him, it was someone else. He made it to the cabin and knocked on the door*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 5:43:46 PM)
*The Cabin wasn't much. It was at the very end of a bumpy lane that was surrounded with sterotype Bayou surroundings, there was also a small herb garden with a few basic vegtable. Lenore had baked cake, and made tea and as Steven would arrive was sat icing the top of what may have been a Carrot cake* Come in, it's open...
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:45:31 PM)
*he a stepped in the cabin. He was wearing his regular lucky #9 Drew Brees jersey, a pair of loose fitting denim jeans, and a pair of sneakers.* Hey, what's going on? Lenore right?
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 5:48:05 PM)
*She glanced up, offering a little smile. The Cabin was very very simple. A single room with a tiny kitchen tacked on one side and a door that lead to the only other room. She rose to her feet and brushed her best little blue dress down, though even this had been tenderly repaired at some point or another* Yes Mr Vincent, that's me... Would you like some Cake? *She smiled brightly* It's freshly made this morning. *Though Gnawer she may be, both the cabin and she herself were spotlessly clean, and not a hair seemed out of place on her little head*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:49:09 PM)
I appreciate it really I do.. but Im on a very strict diet though.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:49:27 PM)
*he smiled* I'll take some water though.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 5:50:53 PM)
*She smiled softly and nodded her head gently as she moved to the fridge* I could make a sandwiich if you like? I baked bread yesterday... *She poked it at one side* It's still soft... *She smiled sweetly, pouring a large glass of water with Ice, lemon's and limes*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:53:50 PM)
*he smiled* Nah the water is fine for now. *he thought for a bit* I'll try a slice of the bread though *he held his fingers close together indicating a thin slice, he didn't want to be offensive and decline everything, but he was watching carbs.* So I heard you needed to talk to me, or was that your husband.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 5:55:28 PM)
*She nodded her head, offering him the water before cutting him a slice of bread* Well... Both of us really... But ... mostly me. I'm sorry he's not here, he's trying to find some work. *She cut a thin slice of bread, and put it on a plate* Would you like anything with it Mr. Vincent?
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:56:03 PM)
nah this is fine. thank you.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:58:14 PM)
ok, so what can I help you with, *he didn't beat around the bush to much* Papers, IDs, a loan?
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 5:58:46 PM)
*She handed him the plate, before she moved to take a seat* I feel aweful asking you this Mr. Vincent.... I've never had to... ask for anything in my whole life, I've always worked very very hard to get the things I wanted.... But this would really take far to long and I really wish to be able to do it... *She glanced up to him with those little warming hazel eyes* It's... a loan.... So that I, or -we- can assist the people of New Orleans....
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 5:59:42 PM)
Oh, well I don't have a whole lot of funds.. but Im sure Cosette could help you out. How much do you need?
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:00:45 PM)
A few thousand dollers... To buy a stretch of land.... *She watched him closely, bitting on her lower lip softly*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:04:22 PM)
I'll have to call the woman for that... She'd have that sort of funds to shell out more than I would. And she'd kill me for authorizing it without asking *he got out his phone as if permission to give her a call. After all this was their territory not his, perhaps they wanted to keep such a thing a secret*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:06:00 PM)
*She nodded her head softly* Don't... You want to know what it's for first? I.... I mean by all means she can come here and we can discuss it... *She seemed a little.... flustered, glancing around to make sure the Cabin was the very best it could be before looking back to him*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:09:38 PM)
*he nodded and noticed her cleaning up* She should be done with lessons here, I can call her to see if she can make it out this way.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:10:17 PM)
*She nodded her head a little* If she wants to of course, she would be most welcome
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:11:27 PM)
*he nodded and gave her a buzz. * Hey hun, got a minute to meet me somewhere?
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:12:50 PM)
Friend has a question for you. kinda private *he gives the address* See you in a bit.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:14:15 PM)
(This user has entered Lenore and Matt's cabin) (IP = 68.112.50.213)
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:14:22 PM)
*he hung up the phone* She's at an apointment now, she'll be here before to long.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:17:26 PM)
*It seemed like it took her a little longer that it should have, but eventually the red headed kinfolk pulled up in her sporty little car and got out, taking off her designer sunglasses. Dressed in a white sundress and wedge style shoes to match she knocked on the door placing her hands behind her back*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:18:13 PM)
*Steven was nice enough to help Lenore tidy up if he was allowed*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:18:16 PM)
*she nodded her head softly, bitting her lips together softly as she scanned around the cabin once again. The cabin was at the end of a bumpy land, set in the sterotype Bayou surroundings. There was a small Vegtable and Herb garden that was very affectionately tended to and the tiny two room Cabin seemed to be undergoing constant repair work. As the door was knocked, Lenore pushed a lock of hair behind her ear and moved to awnser it*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:19:03 PM)
*Oh yeah, and though Gnawer she may be, both herself and the Cabin was immaculatly clean*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:20:33 PM)
(aaaaaaaand afk just a moment)
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:22:25 PM)
Lenore! How are you darling? *she asked leaning in to give Lenore French style air kisses on the side of each cheek. Her voice was southern no doubt about it but had the proper tone of a southern belle. Smiling she looked over the shorter kin's head to get a glimpse of her house before she was offered a change to step inside. She was pleasantly surprised that it was tidy and neat.* My mate called me over. is everything ok? *she asked adjusting her purse on her shoulder*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:25:05 PM)
*she smiled ever so slightly, obviously a little nervous* Everythings fine thank you... Would you like something to eat or drink? *She blushed a little, looking to Steven once again who'd politiely taken a thin slice of freshly baked bread*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:29:35 PM)
*he picked at the bread a little bit, taking his time to eat at it and fully try the flavor*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:29:39 PM)
*She looked around the room for a second, catching the scent of something freshly baked. A polite smile forming on her lips* I seem to have caught the scent of something that smells sinfully delicious, and I would love some. That is unless you are saving whatever it is for the men.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:32:01 PM)
*she shook her head softly and smiled* There is cake, or I could make you a sandwich if you wished? *She guestured for Cosette to join her mate at the ricketly looking table. There were only two rooms in the cabin, the lounge with a little tiny kitchen tacked onto to and another which was behind a closed door* And thank you for coming Mrs Vincent...
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:36:24 PM)
Cake? How delightful. I would love some. *She took her seat next to Steven, crossing one leg over the other. Her hand closest to him was lightly placed near his knee as she smile at him in a greeting* "Oh Lenore you must see the wedding photos. Steven looks truly dashing, and the little flower girl and ring barer...*She looked up at the ceiling for a moment and sighted happily as if re calming a memory. *So cute...I can't wait to have my very own little Lord.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:39:49 PM)
*She smiled softly as she went about cutting cake* It sounds lovely.... Matthew and I only had a very tiny ceremony... *she smiled sweetly, running her thumb over her simple wedding band before placing the cake before Cosette* And, Children is part of the reason I wished to speak with you... *She brewed some tea and moved to sit with them again, chipped Tea pot and all* And the Future of New Orleans.... *she Pressed her lips together* That sounds awful now I've said it out loud...
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:42:20 PM)
((Sorry was ojn the phone))
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:43:23 PM)
So you are having a girl and you wish her to be enrolled at the Academy. *She said with a nod as if she already knew what the question was going to be. She didn't even look Lenore over to confirm.* Its a good thing to start looking at schools now. I am already on the waiting lits for a few top notch preschools. Though that is something you really need to look into before you are pregnant. But it -is- the right time to talk about the Academy. Even if top preschools are a bit late for you.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:45:02 PM)
*She blushed deeply and shook her head* Oh... Oh no.... Matthew and I could never afford such a thing sadly... *She pushed a lock of hair behind her ear, clearing her throat a little* Actually... I wished to speak to you about a Loan...
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:45:30 PM)
*Steven listened in. and chuckled internally. He himself went to public school himself. And not really a good one at that. His extra ciricular activity was passing a lit joint around in a car while they drove off to nowhere.*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:46:10 PM)
Thats why I called you babydoll. I didn't want to make such a financial decision without you.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:47:40 PM)
*She tilted her head to the side slightly looking to both Steven and Lenore* So what do children, the future of New Orleans have to do with a loan? Do you have medical needs that are not being met?
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:49:37 PM)
An addition to the house for the little one?
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:50:54 PM)
*She moistened her lips a little, blushing once again* No... I deal with all our Medical problems... This would be for something else. *She took a breath, feeling a little..... Judged at the very second, lowering her gaze as she began to speak* The money from the loan would be to purchase a stretch of Land within the City. This Land would become a Community Garden Project that would add and assist the familes who are still suffering from Katrina. It would grow the basic food groups, selling them cheaply, or paid for through Labour within the gardens....
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:51:56 PM)
*he thought a bit* City land is expensive.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:52:27 PM)
Very inexpensive indeed. How much of a loan are you looking for
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:52:52 PM)
But given the needs, Im sure there might be some projects that would donate to such a cause.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:53:41 PM)
Especially if you pettioned the local developement board.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:53:46 PM)
*She kept her gaze lowered* A thousand dollers.... I... have some in saving, but no where near enough.... I would have to sell everything I owned to even come close...
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 6:55:10 PM)
Ah yes you need a grant writter. *She looked to Steven for a moment setteling back into her chair lightly tapping her index finger against her bottom lip* Steven and I will have to think about this and discuss it of course.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 6:55:54 PM)
*She nodded her head softly* Of course, I wasn't expecting an awnser straight away
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:05:43 PM)
*she nodded slowly thinking to herself her eyes slowly moving over to Steven as if to silently ask his thoughts.*
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:05:56 PM)
*he nods* Consider a petition. Doesn't matter who owns the land so long at the final goal is all the same.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:14:06 PM)
*she nodded her head softly, bitting her lips together* I... I'm not sure where I would start...
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:15:00 PM)
Wel Dear don't worry too much about all that I am sure Steven and I can dig up some names...
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:15:27 PM)
*She smiled softly as she looked between the two of them a glimmer of hope in her eyes* Really..?
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:16:21 PM)
Of course. It will only cost you for first born child. *She laughed at her own joke waving it away soon after she said it* I am joking of course.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:17:08 PM)
City counsul meetings for starters. Form a petition get a bunch of the locals to sign it, write up a proposal, send it to your local congressmen, senators, everyone. Then bring it to such a meeting.. If there's enough interest, and the funds for it.. It just might be approved. Got to keep in mind zoning laws and such.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:18:29 PM)
*she nodded her head a little as she listened, bitting her lips again*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:20:14 PM)
Lenore, you can also contact the local community college. They almost always have a grant writter on hand. Or even if a class was being taught you could approach the instructor about being the students write your grant for an assigment.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:20:50 PM)
Its certainly a worthy cause and everyone wants to help Katrina victims. If you don't its like saying you enjoy kicking puppies.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:21:23 PM)
*he nodded being a semi-expert in the bureaucratic system * Yeah, could do this all for free minus the travel expenses.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:23:01 PM)
*She nodded her head a little and let out a thoughtful sigh* It's going to take a lot of work then.... *She gave a slightly nervous giggle*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:24:11 PM)
*Cossie leaned in a placed a light kiss on Steven's lips* You are so smart. *She said to him, just as her eyes turned to Lenore nodding a bit* That it will but you can make it happen. You just have to have the ambition
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:29:13 PM)
*he nods and smiles from the kiss* Well technically, if it's a non-profit orginization, you could probably get traveling expenses paid for as well.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:29:55 PM)
Im sure many of cosette's friends would gladly donate for the tax break.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:30:35 PM)
Humm perhapes a Gala event....
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:31:09 PM)
*She smiled softly as she looked between the two of them, it all seemed to over whelming for the little kin as her eyes welled with little tears of joy*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:33:31 PM)
Lenore dear? Are you alright? *She asked tilting her head to the side slightly as she dug into her purse to retrieve a clean white handkerchief monogrammed with a red CA, handing to her*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:34:34 PM)
I know darling those hormones just drive you crazy in the first trimester don't they? There There dear.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:34:54 PM)
I... I just... *she took the handkerchief and dabbed her eyes* In just a few moments you've helped more than you might ever understand..... *She glanced up a little* I.... I'm not pregnant....
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:37:27 PM)
Well darling don't let all those rumors about mean old shadowlords fool you, they are just that rumors and stereotypes. *She paused for a second when she mentioned she was no pregnant* Oh I am sorry I just assumed. This day in age people do often wait a little while to have children I suppose. I hope I did not offend you.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:37:58 PM)
many of them at least *he chuckled*
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:39:59 PM)
*She blushed a little* Matthew and I want to find somewhere more.... Well a little bigger before that happens. Somewhere with less Damp problems.
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:40:56 PM)
Perhaps Gaia has bigger plans for you than raising a child just yet. After all that is a big commitment.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:43:44 PM)
I am sure everything will work out according to her will.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:44:25 PM)
*She nodded her head softly* I have no doubt... She lead me to Matthew after all... Even if he was a little.. slow on the up take
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:44:51 PM)
Sometimes they are darling...sometimes they are.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:50:01 PM)
It took him almost 4 months to see.... *She shook her head softly and smiled* Oh well...
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:51:15 PM)
See that the loved him? That is so sweet. Maybe he was just afraid or did not want to overstep his bounds with you.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:52:00 PM)
Steven out of the blue just asked me. It was so romantic, it look my breath away *even if it was because she was scared out of her mind*
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:52:16 PM)
So. How did he ask you?\
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:52:41 PM)
*he smiled* Yeah, I put her in a situation where she couldn't refuse.
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:53:19 PM)
*She chuckled softly* Matthew... was a bit of a Ladies Man.... *She shook her head a little* He came home one night with a box. It had a wedding dres inside, said he'd asked a lady to go get him something breath taking.... *She smiled softly* It was, it still is.
Cosette Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:57:58 PM)
Oh! That is so sweet!
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:58:32 PM)
((Hate to be a buzz kill... but I need to go lay down for a bit.. upset stomach))
Lenore Thompson-Brown (Aug 31, 2010 7:58:36 PM)
*She smiled softly and nodded her head* He really is sometimes....
Steven Vincent (Aug 31, 2010 7:58:42 PM)
