*most of the flight was consume by the chatter of legal and financial analysts going over paperwork. The others would have sat near the back in a few chairs with drinks. When they landed a Limo was waiting to take the Trio to the Hotel where they checked in and headed to the pethouse floor* New city. What fun.

Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 8:56:20 PM)
*mercy would be given the address and room number for a luxury hotel downtown. in the elevator she'd find herself going to the penthouse floor*
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 8:57:20 PM)
"A half ruined city, what fun." He said as he stood there, looking an unlikely accomplice to Xander in his t-shirt and jeans and stinking of a 6 hour flight.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 8:58:43 PM)
*he'd open the door to the place and head on into the main sitting area. A large wall length window overlooked the city skyline, night taking over.* Half ruined things need to be rebuilt, and that means opprotunity.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 8:58:50 PM)
Yeah Jareth would have been bored right to sleep with the legal people, so he got out his notebook and drew in it the whole way. Gosh was he glad to be off the plane, and following Galvis to where they'd be staying for a bit. He didn't have much in the way of possessions he hadn't been willing to just LEAVE there at the drop of a hat, specifically, nothing that wasn't on him or in his carryon. "Well... yeah."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 8:59:42 PM)
*A knock at the door when Mercy arrived, as usual she was dressed to the nines in silk and lace, jewels dropping in all the right places.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:02:15 PM)
"Hopefully I can get in on some stuff worth doing." Oh, and Toby. Can't forget Toby. Kay would kill him.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:02:15 PM)
Make yourself comftorable gentlemen, grab yourself a drink, the bar should be over there. *he motioned to the side wall as he headed back to the Main door and opened it, taking Mercy in for a moment* Nice to see you this evening.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:04:01 PM)
"Evening Xander, seems like we are all running.. hmm?" She offered him a wink. "Mind a little more company?"
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:05:25 PM)
Please, come on in. *he smiled and stepped to the side, wavinghis hand into the hotel room, and then closed the door behind her, then heading to the bar* Gladyou can make it.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:06:12 PM)
"I've nothing to tie me to Seattle beyond the estate there, and it will be sold soon enough." She shrugged faintly as she stepped in.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:08:25 PM)
You know Mr. Damascus and Jareth? *he said motioning toweards them as he headed to the bar* Would you like a drink?
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:08:47 PM)
*she offered Alan a wave when she saw him. "Jareth I know, but not the man of steel.."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:09:34 PM)
Alan snuck off to the bar to get a little milk. Hmm.. milk.. weirdo. The reason wasn't clear till he sat down and got the poor cat outta the carryon, murmering apologies and such. A blink when he noted Mercy, and he smiled faintly and gave a wave.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:11:34 PM)
This is Mr. Galvis Damascus, a business partner of mine, and a well skilled alchemist. *he smiled, pouring the scotch and heading to the chairs and couches*
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:18:01 PM)
Galvis would have entered and taken in their new suite surroundings. A glance as Jareth wandered off to get his milk and thinking about Toby for a moment. Finding a comfortable place in the middle of the couch he would sit and watch the others. A pleasant smile to Mercy, and faint blush at the compliment, "Xander seems no need to beat around the bush, glad to know we're in like company."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:18:26 PM)
"Nice to meet you Galvis, I'm Mercy. Talented as well."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:19:46 PM)
No point in beating around the bush really, ONly people coming here will be those in the know. I'd like to use this place as an operations center until we can get something elsre going. *he took a seat and sippedf at the scotch, smiling a bit*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:20:39 PM)
"I think the others are driving."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:20:48 PM)
"Provided everyone wants to work together you mean."
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:21:05 PM)
"We're in escrow, yes?" He asked Xander. "I thought I did prettily handily in finding the mill."
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:21:59 PM)
(pretty*)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:22:19 PM)
Al bothered looking up.. Toby was sitting happily in his lap and drinking milk. He looked at Mercy for a few moments, then smiled wanly. "For survival reasons, I think we should... we can bicker and hate each other later when we're established."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:22:43 PM)
Well, this is what I'm doing, if someone else wants to go another route, I'm not going to stop them, but its not going to stop my plans either. *he looks over to galvis* Its a pretty nice find, The lawyers will be there in the morning with the financial analyst to get an on ground site analysis.
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:25:17 PM)
He nodded and looked to Jareth and Mercy, canting his head slightly.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:25:19 PM)
*she nodded listening to them. "What is it you plan to build?"
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:26:50 PM)
A chantry. *he said simply as he leaned back a bit* I've managed to get investment funding for a new building complex, and we'll be abl to set-up in a hidden area there.
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:27:53 PM)
"I'm a metallurgist. Nearly all my life has been spent in a steel mill. While I was studying abroad I stumbled upon a forumla to alter the composition of steel, to make it a 'super steel'... with an added bonus of being very susceptable to magical properties dealing with mana. Xander and I will be marketing it and using it as the frame of the chantry."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:29:02 PM)
"Very good." She smiled softly. "I'll help if I can, but I've a bit tied up myself at present."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:29:25 PM)
Where are your skills again Miss Hawthorne? IT sleeping my mind unfortuantely.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:30:25 PM)
Jareth just sort of frowned, looking thoughtful and focusing on the cat for now.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:30:31 PM)
"Vicious Circle has that habit.." She shrugged faintly. "My skills tend to be in business management at the moment, and general smoozing."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:32:16 PM)
*he nods* Just trying to see how I might be able to get you involved is all. *he smiles* what about magically?
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:35:00 PM)
"I've really never been good with that question." She wrinkled her nose faintly. "I'm linear, not awakened as you are if I recall our conversations. My skills are spread a bit thinly I'm afraid."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:36:48 PM)
**He also got out his phone and was playing with it, but he still managed to contribute, glancing up.**.. Just give us an example.. it's not about how you do it, it's about what you're doing.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:36:57 PM)
I understand that, but you do have skills, and there is always a good place for every skill. *he shrugged a bit
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:37:51 PM)
He was quiet, watching the interactions of the three. "As he said, my talent is alchemy, but I dabble in some others."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:38:00 PM)
*Beyond looking uncomfortable now she answered. "I can charm."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:39:43 PM)
"Good skill to have." A smile.. He looked down at his phone again, texting and talking. "... you know I talk to the air.. most people think i'm completely insane when i do that."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:39:55 PM)
*he nodded and smirked* Always a need and an application for that one Miss Hawthorne. I'll defeinetly remember it.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:41:43 PM)
"My number hasn't changed yet Jareth, if you still have it." She glanced over at Xander and seeing the smirk frowned.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:45:17 PM)
"I think I do." An uncertain look, he bit his lip a moment. Then he looked over at Xander.. "You know, Xander.. as much as I like the idea of a chantry, it worries me to think you want to head it. ....you're not exactly Mr Popular right now."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:45:36 PM)
*Somebody had to say it, might as well be the loudmouth hippie**
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:47:35 PM)
He gave Mercy an appreciative smile. "At least he's honest about wanting to use you, and may be for some convoluted benefit for us all."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:49:26 PM)
*he looked at Jareth a bit and sipped his scotch shrugging his shoulders a bit* If people are going to not use it just because I oversaw its construction then They are probably not someon that I want to work with. You can despise me, and what I do and how I do it, that does not bothe rme in the slightest. This is what I'm doing, and I invite everyonte to join me, and add your element to the effort as a whole, and then it won't just be my chantry, itll be everyone. But this is what I am doing, and if somebody wants to do something else then I wont stop them.
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:49:34 PM)
"I will not be used.." She gave a faint shrug. "I may help.. but I will not be Used." She offered Galvis a faint smile. "Its why I've avoided cabals and chantry's alike up to this point."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:51:10 PM)
"Give me a call sometime Jareth. Specially if your interested in work." Jareth got a wink then and she turned to leave. "Good night. Nice to meed you Galvis, nice to see you arrived safely Xander."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:51:36 PM)
Good to see you again Miss Hawthorne, I'll be here if needed. *he smiled a bit to her*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:51:43 PM)
"You know it's not about that." A cross look. "Everything is always numbers and pressure for you, and I'm telling you.. it doesn't work that way." A blink at Mercy, and he looked over.. silenced for now. Hmm.
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:52:02 PM)
"Good night, Mercy. I look forward to seeing you again."
Mercy Hawthorne (Jul 2, 2010 9:52:23 PM)
*She gave a half wave at Xander and a smile for Galvis before she was opening the door and simply gone.*

Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 9:52:46 PM)
Then how do you mean? *he took a long pull from his scotch*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 9:55:49 PM)
"I mean.. we've all been run out of Seattle, and it's because the Union had the intel on us. People are gonna blame you and the other hermetics, fair or not, because of the stuff with Agent Smith or whatever the hell his name was. On top of that, People just plain don't like being used... as you can see." he jerked his head towards the door. "And I think You need to be really careful about running our allies off right now."
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 9:57:33 PM)
"You could use a little more tact, Xander." He agreed.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:00:36 PM)
I udnerstand I struck a wrong nerve, I'll address that later. *he glanced over at the door, and then looked back to Lee* I'm not using anyone here, and I don't know where you're getting that Idea from. And the building and all of this is not in my name, I'm just one of many investors that I've gathered for the buildoin complex, the public divison that we will be hiding behind. And the one Trail to me, is the one that can't be cut due to the fact that hte invstment money is coming fromn legal methods through my own company.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 10:04:52 PM)
"That's enough to get us targeted again." A frown, he glanced down at his phone again. "I know you're not saying it outright, but it always comes across that you want to use peoples skills and that's all you want. There's a time and a place for that, but it.. just... I mean that's ALWAYS how you come across. It pisses me off, I don't WANT to work with someone like that and i'm sure other people feel the same way."
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 10:06:43 PM)
"Your body language speaks as loud as your words, Xander." He commented, watching the other blonde in the room. "Perhaps making it seem more like a group effort instead of a 'love it or leave it' mentality. You're the one putting up all the money, as I see it, and that means people can assume they are going to have to owe you, or that you'll demand a piece of the chantry because your money single-handedly built it."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:08:08 PM)
*he stood up and headed over to refill his glass* I keep talking about the plan that I'm working on, and I know best how this man is forming. Everybody I meet says they want to help, and I should let them know how they can. *he poured the scotch with a sigh* How am I supposed to know how people can get involved int he project, if I don't know what they do? If someone tells me they are a total book worm, then I can talk about the idea for a Ritual that can hide the place. *he wandered back to the couch*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 10:10:24 PM)
"Tell them what you're doing and what you need." A slightly exasperated sigh, having trouble believing he was explaining this to X-man. "Usually if people want to help, and they have a skill that can help, they will speak up."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:12:47 PM)
*he smirked a little bit as he sat down.* Nobody ever really asked except for Miss. Shapiro. Heck Jareth until about two weeks or so ago, you didn't even want to talk to me. I've been doing this on my own, its only recently that people have finally shown interest. And nobody has asked. *he sipped his scotch and leaned forward, setting the glass on the table* Would you like to know about it? I'd love to talk to others so I can get input.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 10:16:11 PM)
"Ask? No.. if i didn't know about it, i wouldn't ask." A strange look, he glanced at his phone and smirked. "Seriously Xander, you drive people off with slights, real or imagined, they're not going to want to know. Being part of a group effort is getting people to listen to you without hating your guts." A momentary pause.. "As for me.. it took someone calling to light the fact you Have been helping, even if you've been a right pompous prick the rest of the time. That was worth somethin." A direct look.
Galvis Damascus (Jul 2, 2010 10:19:17 PM)
His lip was a tight line as he watched the two go at it.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:20:13 PM)
I have to be this way, my line of work is dog eat dog. I have employees to look after and threats very day to my investments and my vested interest, I don't have much time to bull shit around. *he rased his drink and took another sip* So yes, at times I come off crass, but thats because I have to b tough and aggressive to make sure nobody tries to fuck me over in my day to day business. *he sighed and grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil, he started drawing* But, on to whats been worked out. *he took another deep breath and then a sip of scotch* I'm a member of the Fraternal Order of the Freemason. And please god, don't bring up any Tom Hanks movie. ITs just good people trying to help thier community better themselves.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:23:09 PM)
The plan is continuing, just in a new area. I talked to a few other of those in the Order, othe rpeople that run local companies to supply good help to anyone that needs it. We've gotten enough money together to open a new Central Branch. ITs going to be a triple building complex. *he started drawing out a rough shape of 3 intricate looking buildings*
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:24:37 PM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 10:49:09 PM)
Well Jareth was polite enough to let him try his pitch, in fact he put Toby down, and moved to go look at what he was drawing, phone still in hand. "So is this basically another investment firm.. thing? Only for being helpful? or is it something else?"
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:52:19 PM)
Not other investment firms, one is a Gravel and Masonry company, and a Labor Placement agency. It's basically going to be a synergy group with interexchanged interest, who cna work together to improve the local economy. But, within this large complex, we're going to hav ea lot of space in one of these building. *he drew a larger building of intricate shapes, some angles looked odd, but deliberate.* This building, rght here. Will be centered on a ley line, or intersection of lines if we can find a good one. And from the ground up its going to be engineered to magically focus all that energy across those lines.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 10:54:12 PM)
He hrmmed.. "So basically you're going to have the businesses be a useful front for the actual chantry. Okay, makes sense. How are you going to expl-" He stopped, then waved a hand.. ".. nevermind. ALL sorts of people go to a Labor Placement agency."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 10:57:06 PM)
*he grins* This isn't exactly the labor placement place, but... this is where it gets good. The whole place is going to be a complex and hub for the Masons, all 95% of masons are local contractors and business owners. Local people, helping hte local area. And the place is invested and owned by a temp agency, and a gravel and masonry agency. Its a big brotherhood and everyone wants to work with another mason to get thier good work done. Real Honest good community minded people. Its gong to be the new local hub.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:03:52 PM)
He played with his phone a moment, still listening and glancing over, nodding. "Good cover, I think." He glanced over at Galvis, and grinned shamelessly. "Come look at this... it's not half bad." He looked down again, and considered.. "Alright.. so... that parts good. I'm sure with what you've planned already, it COULD work, provided. ....but what sort of things are you still going to need that you don't already have?"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:05:20 PM)
He glanced at his phone again, hrming.. Then looked up at Xander again.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:09:10 PM)
Really, here for all of you guys is the chantry. Its centered on the ley line, and is designed with Prime and Gematrical symbols to focus all this energy into the center of the place, and we're using Mr. Damascus' steel to help focus and conduct the prime energy, we're hoping to be able to focus enough, ritualized to pop open a new node, and I've all ready gotten higher help from the Order to help open that. What I als want to do, is build into meditation rooms, libraries, spirit trance rooms or something like that. Places to stay as neccesary with a full kitchen. I alo want to desgin into a ritual to mask the place from the casual observer (arcane rating), so nobody ever really thinks about whats going on in that area of the place. I need to work ona nd organize all of that. And That sort of stuff I need you real mystics for.

"That's alot of space to explain away, and if that's not where the labor placement place is, how are you going to explain the Very varied people you're going to have coming in and out of the place. THat alone will draw attention if anyone looks, or bothers paying attention.. even mundane authorities would."
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:12:04 PM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:12:27 PM)
((Since Galvis went on the plane, so did al)
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:13:16 PM)
Its centered, its a public building thats always going to be used, and its not the entire chantry, just most of it. We're going to have an extensive underground area to use and manipulate. *the were up ont he penthouse floor, sitting around a table with Jareth*
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 2, 2010 11:13:24 PM)
*she knocks on the door*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:14:35 PM)
"Underground... this IS New Orleans, remember? The whole hurricane drowned us, incident. "
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:15:24 PM)
*he sighs and gets up, grabbing his empty scotch glass as he went to the door real quick, check the peephole, and oppened the door for TArra* *he smiled* glad to see you made it, come on in. *he nodded back to Al* I was just laying out the current chantry plans we've been working on. *he refills his scotch and sat back down* And yes, I know. Thats why I hav the best laborers, and underneath ground is more ground. whole city is under sea level, digging doesn't reall hurt
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 2, 2010 11:16:51 PM)
That's xander. *she steps in and sheds her jacket, having cast off the heavy flannels and wools of Seattle for an airy cotton dress to beat the heat* he hits the ground with both feet running and a jetpack on.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:16:58 PM)
A faint smirk. "What I'm saying is do you want us to drown or everything to be ruined when there is a flood? Might want to make the entrances sealable if we have to."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:17:52 PM)
"Hello Tarra.. " A light grin.. "I just got through telling him off again, and we're plotting. Are you scared?" He was.. mostly jesting. Mostly.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:18:04 PM)
*he nods and took a pull off his scotch* Thats the benefit of a big project, and being hte priamry investor, I can hide alot of this extra hidden costs. And thats why I wanted everyone's hel on this.
Tarra Shapiro (Jul 2, 2010 11:19:21 PM)
Hello, Jareth. And no I'm not scared. Not until my father figures out I've run off again.
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:19:31 PM)
(I don't think i got told off really. none of it bothered him really :P )

*she walks into the room, takes off her shoes and sits/lies on whatever flat surface is available*
Xander Sinclair (Jul 2, 2010 11:25:56 PM)
this plan wasnt originally for new orleas, its just adapted for it. So some things have not been worked on yet. *he leaned back*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Jul 2, 2010 11:27:24 PM)
He nodded, and grinned a touch at Tarra. "Well... we're still in the clear for now, so.. yeah." A look to Xander. "I'll help when it comes to the details on the rooms, and maybe wards, if some are needed......and I can do limited design, and medical, and anything with plants that are needed." He leaned on something, looking thoughtful.

We'll find a way. My contractors are the best... *he said very matter of factly.*

"I think.. that it's a good base, but still has got some planning to do, and that is best done in a brainstorming session, provided everyone can keep a cool head, but I'm not sure we're at that stage yet." He got his brandy. "The only way you could avoid the water problem is building into the side of a hill or something."

So the first step Is going to be to ifnd a suitable property, along a ley line, or intersection of one. Thats the key right htere. Everything else is malleable

He made kind of a grimace.. "I'll think about it. ....there's things we ought to settle first, and that's not going to come up right away, anyways."

*he shrugged his shoulders* WE have things to do yes, but the sooner we get started the better. I'll be starting the ball soon, but we'll still have plenty of time to work on the designs. Bueracracy needs to be fought first, and that takes time, so finding a place thats suitable is what I'm going to be oiut and tryiung to do. I wouldn't mind a hand.

I'm unemployed at the moment. I can help with that. Gladly, even. We shold be able to get real estate on the cheap. The city is still rebuilding from the hurricane.

Alan stopped and leaned on something to face Xander directly again, a cool look in his eyes as he looked up from the phone again. "We can do that... but i was talking more internal bueracracy. Who's leading this chantry once we do have it?"

I've all ready worked out an aggreement for a numbr of researchers, designers, and other consultants to be allowed to donate thier time and efforts as a charity donation to the place. Whatever would have been charged to pay for the consultant will count as a charitable donation from them, and a personal investment of time into the place. We pride ourselves on skilled craftsman so much, that I've gotten them to agree to a council of these private consultants that can cast a private private, and lobby for thier own projects and charity events.
