Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:04:42 AM)
Saxon strolls into the park, his distinct appearance standing out in the sunshiny morning. Dreary as his choice of colours may seem, he was well appointed and carefully tailored. Each step he took along the path was punctuated by the click of his cane, the breeze stirring his long white hair in his wake.

*Jonhen had aranged to meet in the park in an area near a small pond that is never very crouded.. he sits there on the bench wearing the grey suit jacket he had discribed to Saxon.. Carmine was currently on a bench near by feeding pigeons and aparently having a deep and very ammusing conversation with the birds*
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:10:02 AM)
With the aire of a man beyond the world, erudite and refined, he reaches the pond at a languid pace. There he pauses, rolling his hand over the silver cap of his cane, drawing in the sickly sweet smoke of his clove through an amber opera length cigarette holder. He pulls out his pocket watch to review the time, and closes it with a snap before turning to join the man in a grey suit, a sad smile playing at his lips.
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:13:50 AM)
well your punctual.. thats promising.. *the man looks at Saxon and smiles in greeting.. he seems friendly enough* tell me.. how good are you at your job? *he doesnt seem too worried about being overheard as he doesnt lower his voice at all*
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:18:16 AM)
He arches a white brow at the query, remaining standing for the moment as he adjusts his dark glasses. "Good morning, sir." He takes a long draw from his smoke, his voice low and effeminate, having little force behind his words. "I would like to believe I excell at my work, however it is more than a mere job. For me, it is an almost all consuming obsession. A rewarding and engaging challenge in every translation."
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:22:29 AM)
good... *he glances at the cigarette a moment with an odd expression then over at Carmine then back to Saxons face* im going to assume then that you wont let us down.. what fun.. *have a sit* he motions next to him* and we will talk details.. *still not lowering his voice*
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:26:37 AM)
"Gratzi." He states simply and takes a seat beside Jonhen. "Does the smell bother you?" He removes the stump of his clove from the holder and drops it to the ground, crushing it under his heel as he settles. Jonhen may notice that Saxon's voice was perfectly accented to match his own, as though they had grown up in the same neighbourhood.
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:30:01 AM)
[Gracias? I'm mixing up my languages.]
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:31:31 AM)
*he does notice that and smirks slightly* the smell of burning things puts my teath on edge *he shrugs.. at this point Carmine stands from he rbench and makes her way over to the two.. she sets the bag of bird seed in Saxons lap then wanders past them* Ma! dont wander to far.. *he frowns and glares at the old woman like she is a real pain in his ass but there is something else in the expression too.. maybe worry or fondness... he looks back to Saxon* anyway.. books.. i need one found..
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:35:07 AM)
He nods at his reasoning, looking up startled when he had a bag deposited on his lap. He offers a sad smile and watches the old woman shuffle off. He toys with his cigarette holder, still sucking on it as he redirects his attention. "That is an unusual request. Have I stepped through the looking glass? Surely I ought to be the one making such a statement."
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:38:43 AM)
*he nods* who better than a collector to go to to find something truely rare.. *Carmine busies herself with shuffeling around in the grass and watching squirls* tho.. im not sure this is your usual kind of book..
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:42:56 AM)
He nods, smiling sadly as he tucks away the cigarette holder, fidgety without the smoke to soothe himself. "I am familiar with the best avenues for acquisition." He admits softly, pulling his glasses offto polish the lenses with a fine silk handkerchief. He keeps his eyelids lowered so the white lashes hid the unnatural shade of his irises. "What is it that you are looking for?"
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:45:40 AM)
*Saxons odd appearance doesnt seem to bother Jonhen tho he does study him curiously* i am looking for an old travel log.. from the captan of a boat..... *he hands him a folded piece of paper with the captains name and some dates on it*
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:47:53 AM)
((its about 75 years old))
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:49:39 AM)
He replaces his glasses and tucks away the handkerchief. Taking the slip of paper, he nods slowly. "I've never sought out a ship's manifest, though no matter there's always time involved in the acquisition of rare material." He unfolds the paper to review.
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 10:51:21 AM)
*he nods* you make sure to get that book to us and noone else.... it is very very important that noone else ever sees that book... *the way the man is looking at him he gets the feeling that his words are almost a threat* you will be payed much more than the book is worth to keep your silence
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 10:57:21 AM)
He quirks a white brow at the man's tone and the promise of money. "I may be able to acquire this for you, however at least one other person will have seen it before it comes into my possession. I will do what I can to locate the book, however do not think threats will sway me. What was most precious to me is long dead." He sighs wistfully, shaking his head.
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 11:00:00 AM)
*the man nods* you better prey that whoever else you have to go through is someone you would trust with everything you have....*he then smiles again* i will contact you in a week to check your progress.. (may take longer may take less than that to get the book.. depends))
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 11:02:41 AM)
"I can make no promises, however a week is hardly any time in the scheme of things. Still, I have no reason to refuse you. Let us say, you have piqued my curiosity."
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 11:05:23 AM)
*he nods* well i dont expect you to get it in a week.. i just want to keep your progress in mind.. *Carmine is wandering back towards them* for now i will leave you to your work... dont.. let us down
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 11:07:05 AM)
He smiles sadly and nods his understanding. "Do you know the value of this manifest?"
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 11:08:36 AM)
*he stands up and walks over to Carmine offering the old lady an arm to lead her away* it is worth nothing to collectors.. *he shrugs* and everything to a few people.. *Carmine just smiles serenly and asks* is the nice ghost going to help us?
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 11:10:39 AM)
He nods and sits back a little, finally seeming to relax as the other man stands. He smiles that sad smile and produces his cigarette holder and a silver case.
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 11:11:18 AM)
*they wander off leaving saxon to figure out how he is finding the book*
Saxon Payne (Apr 5, 2011 11:13:33 AM)
He strikes a match a moment later to light his clove, taking a deep draw from it as he contemplates how to approach the situation. It was not some ancient text, but perhaps he could find one of the buyers he's collected from in the past.
Jonhen and Carmine (Apr 5, 2011 11:13:55 AM)
((ok u will need 5 succ total in invest+intel diff 7... if u get it in one roll u get the book in 3 days.. 2 rolls a week.. 3 rolls 2 weeks

*Kristen took a walk through the park after going to the doctor. They'd done an ultrasound on her and she was gazing at the little dot on the paper that was the baby growing inside her as she walked along, gazing up occasionally to make sure she didn't bump into anybody or anything.*
