Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:21:13 AM)
*Shariq had set up a time for her to meet him. He's waiting back in his office when she arrives.*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:23:52 AM)
*Cait walks through the nightclub, seemingly unconcerned at his place of business. She's dressed in a well tailored feminine suit: Skirt, sleeveless blouse and jacket, with fishnet stockings and heels. She heads to where she was told to go, identifying herself to any of his staff in order to gain admittance to his office*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:23:55 AM)
The Underworld Nightclub
Located in the French quarter, the entrance to this club is down a flight of stairs and through a set of heavy oak doors with black wrought iron reinforcements. There is then a short dark hallway that leads to the Entrance room. The Entrance room is wider than it is long. In it is a boat shaped bridge spanning dark running waters of an artificial river. There is a man here dressed as the Ferryman who checks IDs and takes the entrance fees.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:24:10 AM)
Once through the Entrance room there is another short hall that opens up into a large room that is made to look like a cavern. There are artificial stalagmites and stalactites scattered around the room and several round tables with chairs for people to sit at. The room is kept in low lighting and there is always soft music playing in the background. Along the whole back wall is a long bar with a doorway behind it leading to the break room and offices. There are other doorways leading from this one each with something written above it. One says Hell, another is marked with a Heiroglyphic and another says Valhalla.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:28:59 AM)
*She speaks to whoever she needs to, explaining that she has a meeting with Mr. Rashidi.*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:34:15 AM)
*They tell her she's been expected and lead her around the bar*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:34:51 AM)
*She follows, briefcase in hand. Presumably, at some point someone asks her to open it so they can check it. She complies, seeming somewhat annoyed at the prospect*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:34:54 AM)
*They go back a hallway and after a ways stop and knock at a door. She hears someone from the other side saying to let her on in and they open the door for her.*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:36:32 AM)
This large room is impressive from the moment one steps inside. The floors are polished black marble with red veins running through it. There are rich tapestries and expensive looking paintings on the walls. There are also several aquariums/terrariums recessed into the walls so that the glass is flush with the wall. Inside are an assortment of creatures including Piranhas, Scorpions, Banded Sea Serpents and a large diamondback rattlesnake. There are a few sculptures and pedestals with various art objects on them scattered about the room as well, all adding to the feel of opulence and wealth. The furniture in the room is comfortable padded black leather and dark stained oak. At the end of the room is a large antique oak desk that Shariq usually sits behind, three chairs facing it from the opposite direction. There is a computer monitor on top of the desk facing Shariq, often displaying the many hidden video cameras spread throughout his club.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:37:52 AM)
*Shariq is sitting back behind his desk, a bit of a smile on his face as she enters. He is wearing a nice black suit with a matching black tie and red silk shirt.* Ah, you must be Miss Maguire.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:38:27 AM)
*She steps inside the room and takes a quick look around before her attention focuses on Shariq. She smiles to him and steps towards the desk* Yes, that is me. Good evening, Mr. Rashidi.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:40:48 AM)
*Stands and offers a hand* It's a pleasure meeting you. I've heard much about your capabilities.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:42:12 AM)
*She leans over the desk and shakes his hand, remaining standing until he indicates otherwise. At his compliment, she grins* Well, I'm part of a crack team. It helps. But thank you, Mr. Rashidi.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:44:56 AM)
*Nods and motions for her to take a seat, resuming his own.* I must admit I did not expect you to be as beautiful as you are. It's a pleasant surprise.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:46:09 AM)
*She takes a seat and sets her briefcase on her lap, shrugging a bit* My father says something about it disarming the clients. Do you feel disarmed? *She flashes him the briefest coy smile*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:48:16 AM)
I feel lucky... not sure about feeling disarmed. I have a feeling there is much more to you than your good looks.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:50:29 AM)
Well, I certainly hope so, or you aren't really getting value for your money.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:51:22 AM)
So tell me a little about what you expect from an employer.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:53:36 AM)
Well, that is a little difficult as your message was rather vague on your expectations. This consultation was more to get a sense of the sort of services you want us to provide. I notice already you seem to have a set up with cameras. *She motions to the computers on the desk* That's usually our most basic service. But your way of contacting us ... I'm guessing you are looking for something a little more ...advanced. *She smiles again*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:55:00 AM)
You would be correct... though I may use you for some security, I am more interested in finding out what sort of information procurement you can provide.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 11:58:49 AM)
Information ranges from basic information - Names, addresses, social security numbers and ID ...we've engaged in arranging for some low scale identity theft when it is necessary. My brother is a private investigator working in the more traditional methods of information gathering: following people. Where they're going, what they're doing. Getting dirt. I am more along the lines of stealing secrets of competitors for my employers. Ensuring information that isn't supposed to get leaked just happens to do just that.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 11:59:49 AM)
Have you ever been on retainer?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:02:21 PM)
Only once before. We usually try to remain freelance, it makes things less complicated all around. Are you thinking you will need something more long term?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:03:09 PM)
Possibly. I have much to offer the right person. More than most.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:04:51 PM)
*She smiled a bit* Well, I'm intrigued.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:05:28 PM)
*He gets up and walks around his desk* What is it you want Miss Maguire? What do you desire most?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:06:28 PM)
*She glances up at him, seeming a bit surprised as he abruptly stood and moved closer* I ... I'm not sure I understand the question, Mr. Rashidi. Are you speaking professionally?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:07:42 PM)
I try not to distinguish too much between professional and personal. It is all part of the same life and they tend to blend together all too easy.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:07:54 PM)
*He smiles at her disarmingly*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:08:15 PM)
((He has the Sanctity Merit btw... means he seems pretty harmless.))
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:08:48 PM)
((Also he has enchanting voice and it just soothes the soul to listen to him talk))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:09:34 PM)
Well, that can be true, but I only know you professionally. I didn't realise that part of this consultation included my telling you my life secrets. *She smiled in return, nervously reaching one hand up to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear. Perhaps he was better at disarming her than the other way around*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:12:17 PM)
Ones passions need not be ones secrets. My business is pleasure and fullfillment of desires... I can't do that if people hide what they want.

*She appears clearly torn. She's unused to this line of questioning, and it is apparent that she has very little trust of strangers. However, he seems so ...safe. She chews her bottom lip, trying to decide how to proceed* ...Mr. Rashidi, my only passion is to support my family.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:24:06 PM)
Are you sure?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:25:49 PM)
Yes? What were you looking for? For me to talk about something else? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I suppose I am sort of boring. *She smiled*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:26:11 PM)
*Chuckles* So, how can I help you support your family?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:27:23 PM)
Well ... *She set the briefcase down next to her and crossed her legs, looking up at him* What is it /you/ do, Mr. Rashidi? How exactly do you fulfill people's desires?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:28:25 PM)
Well, once they tell me what they desire I do all I can to get it for them... given they can pay the price.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:29:50 PM)
And there's no limitations to this?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:30:24 PM)
I do what I can to push the limits.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:33:34 PM)
And what would be a typical price?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:34:18 PM)
That my dear all depends on what my client wants. In your case, it would be a fair exchange of services. *Leans against his desk, looking at her*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:35:43 PM)
Well, that would be appropriate, since supporting my family would include someone hiring our services. And, not telling law enforcement about them. *She smiled*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:36:58 PM)
How else could I help your family?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:39:40 PM)
*She tilted her head, watching him for a moment. Almost as if she was trying to determine what his angle was* ...Mr. Rashidi. I appreciate that you want to ...fulfill my desires, but this is sort of strange, you know?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:41:12 PM)
I suppose so. I am not always conventional.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:43:51 PM)
Neither am I, but I'
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:43:53 PM)
(ack)
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:44:06 PM)
((*Chuckles*))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:44:20 PM)
...I'm not usually asked personal questions by attractive men I may be working for.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:44:32 PM)
(enter key!)
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:45:33 PM)
Well, I find you interesting.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:49:05 PM)
Is that a good thing?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:52:36 PM)
I think so. *Smiles charmingly* ((And since for all he knows she is a normal mortal, he's gonna turn on the presence.))
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:52:42 PM)
((Just Awe))
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:54:15 PM)
((1 sux, I effect 1 person, she's the only one here. *Grins*))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 12:56:42 PM)
(Ack. Can you remind me what that does?)
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:58:21 PM)
((Awe amplifies the sublime magnetishm this Discipline gives the vampire. Those near the vampire suddenly desire to be closer to her and are very receptive to her point of view.))
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 12:59:39 PM)
((Just copied that from the book))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:00:28 PM)
...Oh. Well, that's good. I mean, I'm glad you think I'm interesting. Beyond my work, that is. *And for some reason Cait can't identify, suddenly, she's flustered. She fidgets in her chair, moving slightly closer to Shariq and smiling*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:01:12 PM)
*Smiles and runs the backs of his fingers down her arm*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:05:20 PM)
*She closes her eyes when he touches her and her cheeks flush. Any concern about how unconventional this all is leaves her mind as Shariq is suddenly the most important person to her*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:05:48 PM)
Are you sure there's nothing else I could offer you?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:10:33 PM)
*She opens her eyes and gazes up at him* Nothing that is appropriate for me to ask for.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:12:25 PM)
Oh, anything is appropriete to ask for here... now whether it is available and for what price... that is another matter.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:13:19 PM)
See, that's the part I'm afraid of. The price.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:14:13 PM)
Why don't you tell me what you want and find out? *Tries to draw it out of her*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:16:09 PM)
I ...ah. I'm not usually like this. Attracted to men. Like this. But there's something about you .... *She stands up, taking a step closer to him* What is the price to get closer to you, Mr. Rashidi?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:17:54 PM)
*Reaches up and gently brushes some of her hair back over her ear again* For you? I'm sure something can be worked out.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:20:07 PM)
And the cost will be less than my soul, yes? *She grinned*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:21:27 PM)
Ohhh... I suppose. *Grins* How about in exchange for getting closer to me, I get to get closer to you. *Slides his arms around her waist loosely*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:23:27 PM)
That sounds like a deal I can make. *With his arms around her, she leans in close to him*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:24:09 PM)
*Pulls her a bit closer and gives her a little kiss*

Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:26:06 PM)
...*She kisses him in return, her arms wrapping around his neck*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:28:08 PM)
*Relaxes some more and kisses her more deeply, pulling her close against him*

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 118.210.255.18)
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:33:15 PM)
*Her kiss matches his in intensity as she presses against him. Her hands move from around his neck, sliding down his shoulders to his waist. It's almost like she can't get close enough to him*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:33:54 PM)
Mmm.... *Smiles as he breaks the kiss and whispers in her ear* I think you will be a fun business associate.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:36:02 PM)
*She smiled* Well, you are the one who doesn't seem to mind mixing business with pleasure.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:40:06 PM)
*Nibbles lightly on her earlobe*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:40:16 PM)
You don't seem so opposed yourself.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:40:54 PM)
...Well, usually I am. Don't think that I offer every employer these ...perks. But I don't know. There's something ... I can't explain it. I've never met anyone like you before.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:43:41 PM)
Lucky me. *Smiles and looks into her eyes*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:44:24 PM)
Lucky? I am certain you have gotten this reaction before.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:47:04 PM)
Never from you before. *Gently caresses her cheek and neck*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:49:01 PM)
...Well, that's because we have just met. *And then, that clicks something in her and she immediately seems concerned* ..Oh, god ...we've just met. You probably think I am so. cheap..... *She frowns, but doesn't seem to have the willpower to remove his hands from her neck...*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:51:33 PM)
Not at all. *Doesn't resist her moving his hands* I was just enjoying the moment.... you don't think badly of me because of it do you?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:52:49 PM)
No, not at all! *She doesn't move his hands at all. She does, however, lean in and kiss his cheek* I just ... I'm the lucky one, I suppose, for meeting you.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:53:25 PM)
*Hugs her close and slides one hand up to run through her hair*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 1:58:02 PM)
So, Mr. Rashidi ... I think perhaps it's time to talk about what your desires are.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 1:59:14 PM)
Well, I'm afraid that for the moment my desires may have changed from what I originally planned. *Smirks*\
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:00:21 PM)
Oh?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:00:42 PM)
*Looks her over some and nods*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:01:00 PM)
((I may have to go soon. You gonna be around tomorrow though?))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:03:00 PM)
(No :( I have wedding appointments all day)
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:03:22 PM)
Oh, I'm your desire now, is that it? *She smiles playfully, running one of her hands through his hair*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:04:01 PM)
How could you not be?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:05:35 PM)
...I don't know. I guess it's hard to picture myself that way.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:08:19 PM)
You are very desirable my dear.
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:10:24 PM)
Thank you. So are you, just so you know.
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:11:03 PM)
Why thank you. *Grins and leans in for another kiss*
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:13:11 PM)
Mm, you are welcome... *She leaned in and kissed him first*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:14:44 PM)
*Kisses her happily for several long moments before breaking it again* How would you like to meet me later for dinner or something?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:16:28 PM)
...Yes. I would love to. *She smiled at him* Tonight, or ..?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:17:13 PM)
Tonight would be fine. Do you have a place you would like me to pick you up?
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:19:37 PM)
Oh, sure. *She gives him the address of her apartment building*
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:20:11 PM)
I'll see you tomorrow night after 9 then. ((Forgot it's night now))
Cait Maguire (May 20, 2011 2:21:36 PM)
(Yes) ..Okay, see you then. *Reluctantly, she pulls herself away from him to grab her briefcase* Casual dress, or something more...?
Shariq Rashidi (May 20, 2011 2:22:02 PM)
Oh, casual is fine... I'm sure you'll look good in whatever you wear.
