*Rolling up to the place, Inez is driving an '12 Audi A6. The model's only been released within the last week or two, that new. Stepping from it, she's wearing a girl's business suit in dark green, though the skirt is pleated and almost mini. Fashion, then. Long legs first, she exits looking about, nose wrinkling slightly*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:28:39 AM)
*The large black man was under a car, working on it, so the first thing he sees after hearing the purr of that car are those long legs... He slides out from where he is and looks up at you while he begins to get up on his feet and to his towering height, greeting you with a* Hello miss...
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:28:48 AM)
..
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:28:54 AM)
(See? Lagging.)
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:28:55 AM)
((You can roll perception+awareness dif 6 for meeting me.))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:28:59 AM)
((No worries))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:31:05 AM)
(1 success, DR hates me) Hello. (Spoken in a cultured hispanic accent, not the more coarse Mexican of the gulf.) I have a problem with my car and... *She trails off, as the back of her neck prickles*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:32:47 AM)
((Yes, she knows he's a demon all right, but that's it. 2 sux for me, pretty much the same)) *he raises an eyebrow and immediately tenses up and grows suspicious...
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:33:35 AM)
Well, this is interesting, is it not? *She smiles radiantly* I am Inez. *Offering her fingers, ladylike*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:34:51 AM)
*He wipes his hand mostly clean shakes, ungentlemanly and firmly, but still with a surprising gentleness for such a large paw* Jeff...
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:35:56 AM)
Perhaps my car can wait. And if I intrude on the... territory of another, it is purely by chance, and I do apologize... Jeff.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:36:31 AM)
No territories... You're just new I guess. You speek spanish? You sound like you do...
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:38:05 AM)
~spanish, cultured upper class~ Yes, of course. And you also, I presume? Perhaps it would be a better language in which to discuss matters potentially of interest to us both?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:39:31 AM)
*His spanish is New Orleans street, so he doesn't really manage to notice the refinement of hers. He answers in the same language, though.* If you feel more comfortable with it... It's no secret language, there more people who speak spanish in this hood than english speakers, I think.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:42:18 AM)
~Spanish assumed~ As you wish. I had not thought to run into another here, to be sure, but it is a pleasure, or so I hope. I am newly arrived in New Orleans. I had been some time in California. It is in many ways a beautiful city, but so very sad.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:44:20 AM)
Sad? The morningstar thing?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:44:36 AM)
[Aside, I rolled too many dice, was thinking my Mage's total. Will re-roll if you wish.]
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:45:15 AM)
I have not seen Him in... a long time. I meant here. So beautiful, the past nestled among the modern, but all faded, in a way.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:45:20 AM)
((Nah, that's all right. And it's an easy roll))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:45:58 AM)
Oh. And there was Katrina too... In a way... I've been here for a while... So I don't really notice it. But yeah, you're right.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:49:23 AM)
Interesting, is it not, that they name such things after women? *A hint of a smile* But you have me at a disadvantage, Jeff.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:50:59 AM)
I do?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:52:41 AM)
I am new here. I have no friends yet, not really. Just clients. Whereas you must know the way of things here?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:53:04 AM)
Kinda new too, in the way you mean, I think. I do know some people, though. Have you met no others yet?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:53:39 AM)
Briefly an unhappy lawyer, and a strange man so very paranoid.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:55:15 AM)
*He smirks* Don't think I can tell who those are by those descriptions.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:55:24 AM)
No girls? No other guy almost as big as I am?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:55:55 AM)
No girls. And the other? He could have been large. A bounty hunter by trade.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:56:55 AM)
Ah, bounty hunter. That's some Alex guy, right?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:57:12 AM)
It is. You know him?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:58:04 AM)
Met him a couple times.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:58:16 AM)
But he's not the big one I meant, that's Amos.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 12:58:36 AM)
He is a gardener? I heard that name.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 12:58:53 AM)
Sort of, yes.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:00:04 AM)
Should we perhaps introduce ourselves more completely?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:01:31 AM)
Hmmm... People around here don't do that a lot... I don't think there are many who learned my name yet.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:02:09 AM)
As you prefer. Perhaps we should part on amicable terms, then?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:03:00 AM)
Amicable, sure. Part, that's your call. I wasn't being unfriendly, just letting you know. Did the others give you their names?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:03:36 AM)
Or I gleaned them, my memory is not always so spotty*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:04:11 AM)
Wow, that's nice.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:05:01 AM)
But to each their own. I am Aphinael, once herald to the Morning Star, Lammasu of the Crimson.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:05:13 AM)
And so I trust you with my name.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:05:47 AM)
Well... *He says in a very quiet voice, then, almost too low for even her to hear it* I'm Cinidhal, then. Nice to meet you.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:06:19 AM)
(Woudl that tell me anything? What's the roll to learn that? Something diff 9-Eminence?)
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:07:36 AM)
((int+legacy dif 9, yes))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:07:50 AM)
I do remember you vaguely...
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:08:03 AM)
Though we weren't close back then or anything.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:09:02 AM)
(Botch) I confess nothing of the same, I am so sorry. Might I know your House?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:09:38 AM)
I'm of the third house. ((Malefactors, but you knew by the icon...))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:10:21 AM)
Oh, I see. *She grins* Does that mean that should I desire certain fancies, that you might be the man to speak to? *Playing coquette*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:11:59 AM)
Maybe... ((Do you know about the house rules for crafting here?))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:12:29 AM)
(Nope. Anything noteworthy?)
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:12:52 AM)
((Basicly, anything that I wanna make permanent costs 1 willpower - a PERMA wp))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:13:05 AM)
(Can't come from me I take it?)
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:13:13 AM)
((Oh, it can.))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:13:54 AM)
((If you wanna pay that, then we can gladly negotiate for trinkets. There's also a limit of one combat item a month, and one non-combat... But that's not a problem really, I don't make that many with the steep price))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:14:04 AM)
(Figure it might be cheaper coming from a newbie PC. Do they use the insta-buyback rules for it?)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:15:21 AM)
It will be a pleasure to negotiate, if in time you should be willing. I have been advised that I should find something to defend myself with. *She says softly* But I know little of firearms, and so I will have to learn to shoot as well.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:15:30 AM)
((I got no idea. You can ask Legion, I think that's who handles the relics))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:16:03 AM)
I sure don't mind making things, so yeah, we can negotiate. And I can help with the shooting too.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:16:15 AM)
Though what I might offer in turn, I am not certain what would please you.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:18:01 AM)
We can think about that later. I'll take the promisse of a favor as downpayment.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:18:21 AM)
A favor is a dangerous thing. Money is safer.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:18:29 AM)
Not half as useful though.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:19:56 AM)
Perhaps this is true. *She smiles* Tell me then, if you know such things, what should a lady best defend herself with?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:25:07 AM)
Depends. Guns always give you the advantage of distance. I got one myself.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:25:44 AM)
I would not know one from the other. Or even where to get one, but I am sure I might be able to procure one.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:26:36 AM)
*Nods* I could help with that too. But that favor is growing larger.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:27:10 AM)
Perhaps I will procure my own. Unless you have one a lady could shoot handy.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:29:08 AM)
Nope, not really.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:30:52 AM)
Then I will look into it. And you, perhaps, should consider what I might do for you. Do you have a card? *Reaching into her little clutch, she extracts her own. It says simply "Inez Archuleta" and her number*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:31:45 AM)
((Is it a cellphone number?))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:31:58 AM)
(It is)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:32:25 AM)
(Who bothers with land lines any more?)
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:33:10 AM)
*He grabs his own cellphone and calls her* No card, but you got my number now. Call if you need anything. Of course, you can call the other way in an emergency... But it's less jarring if you can use the phone.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:33:57 AM)
*She captures it, saves, notes* Yes of course, and more discreet. Tell me, Jeff. What does a man such as yourself desire?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:34:47 AM)
Right now I got what I want, Inez. So it's tough to name it, or I'd have named it before.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:35:19 AM)
Oh, I mean in more general terms than a single transaction. Longings, desires... they are the air that I breathe!
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:35:44 AM)
*Smirks* Than you know that's not something you go talking about, right?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:35:48 AM)
((then))
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:36:08 AM)
My friend, you would be amazed. *She adds with a grin*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:36:38 AM)
Amaze me, then.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:37:29 AM)
Are you certain?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:38:04 AM)
Sure.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:39:52 AM)
*She studies him, as she has all along, all the little cues of voice and body*
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:44:24 AM)
It seems to me that above all, you wish to make whole that which is damaged. People... the world around us. Yours is a compassionate soul, though perhaps you try to conceal it from a world that can be uncaring and cruel.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:44:55 AM)
Hmmm... Nice... *He wonders about that...*
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:48:29 AM)
You see? Everyone wants. And it is sometimes my privilege to help provide.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:49:24 AM)
Well, you gonna help with any fixing?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:50:00 AM)
I always try, yes. And perhaps some of my clients, in time, might be useful in your own efforts. In this way, we work together?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:50:43 AM)
We'll see. But possibly.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:50:50 AM)
What clients? What's it you do?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:54:01 AM)
I help men find themselves, and live more fulfilling lives.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:54:26 AM)
No women?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:54:43 AM)
None thus far. Perhaps.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:55:00 AM)
Shrink or something?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:56:26 AM)
Perhaps a little. More of a life consultant.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 1:58:21 AM)
a what now?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 1:58:50 AM)
As you see, it is not so formal.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:01:33 AM)
But that's how you announce yourself or something? In the phone book, for instance?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:03:06 AM)
...
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:03:10 AM)
(Lagging sigh)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:04:13 AM)
No. I... have a talent for finding those who need me.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:05:59 AM)
That sounds misterious.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:06:21 AM)
It is not meant to be. Perhaps I merely know where to find such souls.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:08:04 AM)
*Nods* And they pay well?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:08:41 AM)
It would be untrue to say that I do not accept compensation for my services. Just as you do.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:11:14 AM)
*He smiles* By that beauty of a car, you get more than I do.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:17:04 AM)
..
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:17:12 AM)
(I hate lag so much. :(
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:17:29 AM)
Then perhaps we can both share.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:17:53 AM)
*A grin* But it is broken. The light in the glovebox will not come on.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:18:21 AM)
*Chuckles* That barely counts as broken. I can fix that in 10 seconds. Let me see it.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:18:45 AM)
*She steps aside, leaving him to it. It's just loose. She's that inept*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:20:30 AM)
Don't even need a new one... *He fixes it* There, done.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:23:55 AM)
*She peers in and beams a thousand-watt smile of her own!* Fantastic! You're a miracle worker. How much do I owe you?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:24:55 AM)
*Snorts* Come on now. If I charge for that, how much would I have to charge for a real problem?
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:30:36 AM)
(This user has entered Washington's Auto Repair) (IP = 76.114.25.65)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:30:53 AM)
Well, then I shall have to owe you a similarly small favor in return.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:31:10 AM)
I really can't think of anything THAT small... But sure.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:31:52 AM)
It has been charming. I do have to be going though, I had an appointment. Perhaps we will speak again soon?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:32:23 AM)
Sure.
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:32:43 AM)
::Eva's classic Mustang roared in a fast u-turn as she swung into a parking space outside and she turned off the rumbling, purring engine. She climbed out of the car and she had on a pair of low-rise jeans, and a tank on with flip flops. Holding a to-go cup of something and a paper bag as she meanders in:: Hey, Jeff.... mijo? You in?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:33:51 AM)
*With a final finger wave, she moves to climb into her car, though she does pause at the clamor, and the beauty who emerges*
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:34:01 AM)
*He smiles* Hey Eva! Come on in.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:34:03 AM)
(They're standing out front)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:34:21 AM)
(Unless you want to move your two along and I'll just slink off.)

::she grins to Jeff and moves over towards him:: Workin' late again, huh? ::the hair framing her face was a deep purple today, the rest was glossy and dark, lightly curled. She offered him the cup and the paper bag:: You didn't eat dinner, did you. ::it was more of a statement than a question::
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:36:53 AM)
Yes and no. Is it this late already?
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:38:35 AM)
Yes. It is... ::she grins, then upnods Inez in greeting::
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:39:43 AM)
*Inez smiles at the sight, though Jeff may note her eyes dip momentarily to check out the other woman's backside before she waves to Evangelina when she turns* I was just going, miss. Good evening to you both!
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:40:20 AM)

Wasn't much business, just a loose lamp.
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:42:34 AM)
Oh, I can fix those... easy. ::flashing a smile::
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:43:09 AM)
No, it was quickly managed. Perhaps it is easy for you, but I am not skilled in these matters.
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:43:22 AM)
I am Inez, by the way. *Moving to offer cheek kisses*
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:44:26 AM)
Oh, you just have to take your screwdriver in the trunk and then peel that little liner back and... ::pausing at the kisses, and she just raised a brow:: Um... nice to meet you. I'm Eva...
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:45:45 AM)
*Jeff is frowning now*
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:46:51 AM)
(European/South American standard greeting, means no more than a handshake.)
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:47:22 AM)
*Noting Jeff's brow furrowing, Inez smiles warmly* Your friend is lovely, Jeff. You are a lucky man.

I didn't?
Inez Archuleta (Aug 18, 2011 2:49:41 AM)
I shall call you when we are perhaps ready to do business, Jeff?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:49:56 AM)
Sure Inez.

Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:50:52 AM)
((My pleasure))
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:51:06 AM)

Mmmm, and it was you who asked me out first.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:54:36 AM)
Yeah. I was smart there. *He grins*
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:54:57 AM)
::she laughs:: I guess so, mijo.... so...are you done working? Or got to clean up?
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:56:11 AM)
Do you want grease all over you?
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 2:58:07 AM)
Not in particular... though I guess I'd have to shower then.
Jeff Pines (Aug 18, 2011 2:59:38 AM)
It's what I plan to do. Wanna come along? You can get greasy and then clean in the space of only a few minutes. *He smirks*
Evangelina Rivera (Aug 18, 2011 3:00:50 AM)
::she laughs:: Can't I just shower, and not have to be greasy?
