*Business men, in all honesty, didn't often frequent this place... At least, not professional, respectable business men.... At least, not professional, respectable businessmen who weren't looing to score some coke and get laid with some of the wildest, most easily infulenced young women in New Orleans. Come 11pm they started to crawl in, their office suits discarded in favour of casual ware, their bald spots covered as best they could, their hands clutching a wad of bills... Ready to do whatever it took to forget about life.*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 7:58:11 PM)
*she comes out from the back room, carrying a couple of six-packs of beer bottles, in one of her usual slinky bartending dresses...the ones that help her get nice tips, of course...and starts restocking them*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:00:08 PM)
*Music from the three different rooms blurred a lot in the front area, making a cacophony of noise. The bar permitted the perfect vantage point from which to judge each passer by. Most of them were young people straight out of life... Collage students, lay abouts, rich kids... It would be hard to spot good prey for the master amoung them. What, exactly, are you looking for?*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:03:04 PM)
*she takes a look along the bar itself, watching for someone looking....businesslike, but maybe down on their luck....or someone who might be that drug connection she wouldn't mind making....maybe one of the college kids....she flips her hair back over her shoulder and moves down the bar to the next patron waiting on a drink*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:04:32 PM)
(Perc + Empathy to find someone down on their luck, diff 6, Perc + Streetwise to find a drug dealer, diff 6. Either/or! )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:06:14 PM)
(2 sux on perc +emp)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:08:16 PM)
(Nice!) *Plenty of folks that walk through the door are troubled and down on their luck. It's harder to spot someone who HASN'T got serious problems on their mind as they walk through the door... But you're not too bad at this kind of thing. The first hour passes fairly indifferently. You make conversation with a few potentials, but nothing that really seems to be what you're looking for. Finaly, as midnight comes closer, a man in his early 40's walks in the door. He's wearing a suit with his top shirt buttons undone, has brown hair cut short and a smile that says "Save me".*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:10:17 PM)
*she makes sure he notices her looking at him as she finishes up with another customer at the other end of the bar, and then makes her way towards him, letting her hands rest on the bar, standing across from his seat, giving her best, friendly smile* Evening. May I help you, sir?
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:13:17 PM)
*The middle aged man pauses a bit, looking at the three options of rooms... Obviously hoping that one of them will lead him to some fantasy to help him forget... But in the end it's you that draws him over to the bar. He sits down, trying to play it cool.* Hey. I... Don't come here often. What's the difference bewteen those rooms there?
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:15:25 PM)
Oh...*gesturing to the one* Hell's for conversations mostly....*she smiles slyly* A little boring, if you ask me....*and then gestures towards the other* And Valhalla's half mosh-pit, half-techno most of the time. *she looks back at him and smiles some* Personally, I like this room, but then....it's the one I work in so I may be a bit biased. *the smile changing to a grin*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:17:37 PM)
Oh... Heh, okay. *In part, he looks dissapointed. Maybe he hoped it would be as easy as just asking which room is likley to get him some angel dust and some pussy to help him feel like a big man for the night... Obviously not! So he trys a different tact.* Okay, well, can you give me a beer and... Well... Which room should I pick if I want a good time? Maybe get a bit of a buzz?
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:19:19 PM)
*she gets his beer and drops it off by him* Might depend on what kind of buzz you want, but....*shrugging* Probably Hell.
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:19:46 PM)
Hell... Okay... Is it okay to carry beers from here in there?
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:20:02 PM)
*she nods some* Sure is.
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:20:30 PM)
Okay, thanks. *He puts down a note, leaving the change for you as he stands up, adjusts his suit and takes his beer, heading for Hell*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:21:43 PM)
*she sighs a little after he goes, pulling the money off the bar and taking it to the register, dropping the change in the tip jar, shaking her head to herself*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:21:57 PM)
*... Soooo... Now what?*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:23:47 PM)
*she looks over the crowd by the bar again, putting some glasses away while she does so, looking for the next one to try, trying another route* (perc streetwise, 3 sux)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:26:06 PM)
*There are plenty of folks passing through who are prolly carrying drugs. Most of them are the confident types who know exactly where to go and where to stand and what to say to whom... They don't normaly stay at the bar for long. Just long enough to grab a beer and find themselves a place they can work their trade. One, a woman in her 20's with long black hair, maybe part asian?... She moves to the bar to get herself a drink first, slipping a note across the bar to you.* Hey. Can I get'a Sunrise?
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:27:25 PM)
*she nods to her, taking the note up, looking at it after turning to get the drink for her*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:28:05 PM)
(Note... As in Dollars.. ;0 )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:28:35 PM)
(oh.sorry)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:28:42 PM)
(He he he :D )
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:29:00 PM)
(*Passes you a note like a 5th grader: "Do U Like Me?" ;) )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:29:23 PM)
*she stops to get change at the register, putting the glass and what's left beside it* (well it wouldn't be the first time she'd got passed a note here *shrug*)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:30:10 PM)
*She takes the drink with a nod and goes to work her trade*... (You know, if you want to DO something in these scnes, you're going to have to eventually actually interact with these people. He he he)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:31:04 PM)
(you know what? i guess nevermind then. i was trying to play it as she's not good at it, becuase she's not. i'm sorry i wasted your time.)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:32:05 PM)
(You're not 'wasting my time', don't go all emo on me. LOL. ;) What are you trying to do here tonight? You want to meet a business man and a drug dealer, right?)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:32:28 PM)
(i suppose)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:33:22 PM)
(well you can't tell me she isn't 'good' at it when you have Manip 4, Char 3, Empathy 2, Subt 2 and Streetwise 1.... She's pretty damned good at it! :D )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:34:00 PM)
(manip 4? whose sheet are you looking at?)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:34:16 PM)
(You can't make a contact by serving someone a beer and letting them walk off... You'll need to give them some indication that you're interested in them for some reason. Make them stay... Or, stop working bar and go follow them)
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:34:22 PM)
*Yours!
Name

Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:34:42 PM)
(Whoopse, had'em swapped. Char 4, Manip 3 )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:35:46 PM)
*she moves out from behind the bar, heading for the Asian woman, on the pretense of clearing some empty glasses away, smiling to her when she approaches*
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:38:01 PM)
*He Asian woman gives you a half smile, mostly focused on her work. She ocassionaly makes the Magic Handshake with passers by... But she's carful to keep an eye on you, making sure you aren't here to rat her out or demand she leaves the bar. The natural suspicion of a drug dealer plain on her face.*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:41:03 PM)
*trying to give a reassuring smile, she moves in closer again, still gathering up glasses, stopping next to her 'to chat', lowering her voice so only the woman can hear her* Hey. Nice night huh?
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:41:33 PM)
Yeah, anit too bad... You looking for a little something, babe?
Nast Wet Smear (Jun 18, 2011 8:41:42 PM)
(This user is now known as Nast Wet Set)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:42:41 PM)
*she gives a nod, trying to keep it cool...just working and chatting as she goes...continuing quietly* Maybe. *she looks at the woman* Business partners.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 8:46:42 PM)
What'choo talk'n bout?... You wanna buy? It's $15 for a hit, $40 for'a bag of 8's, yo. *She hisses under her breath, trying to make you play ball on a deal, unsure about your offer*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:51:05 PM)
*she gives a single shake of her head, half gesturing with her hand of glasses towards the bar, still speaking quietly* Not for me. Thanks though. I'm Lizzie. I want to help you find others who are intereseted. This place is lucrative. I know you know that and that there's people in here every night looking for what you have. I'm sure you could use an extra set of hands to do business for you here so you can direct your attentions elsewhere. I could help you out. It'd be simple to tell your customers to find the little redhead in the main room.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 8:52:27 PM)
*She narrows her eyes a little, looking you over.* You work bar here, right?... You trying to smoke me out or somethin? Move me on?... Cos I'm bringing you business, Lizzie!
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:54:37 PM)
*she shakes her head, staying calm to try to keep her so* I do work here. And I know you bring in business. I've seen it. I'm trying to say I can help you out in return. A mutual, symbiotic relationship. If they know this is a place to get what they want, they'll keep coming for what you have. And you won't even have to be here. I can do it for you. It's win-win.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 8:56:25 PM)
Win win, eh?... You want a cut, right? Make me share my profit wit'cha? *Folding her arms over her chest... You seem to have her interest now, but she's still looking for your angle. Everyone wants something in her world, and it's not ever very good.*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 8:57:59 PM)
*she shakes her head slightly again* It doesn't have to be your profit. Just tack a tiny bit extra on the top. Then you still get your percentage, and I get my delivery fee.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 8:59:23 PM)
... *She thinks, her slightly sloped, dark asian eyes dancing as she considers her options* I'll tell you what, Lizzie... There's 3 other dealers who work this place on Saturdays... You move'em off, make me the big hitter in here, then you got a deal!
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:00:33 PM)
*she looks from her to try to glance around the room* In here? Or are they in the other rooms?
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:01:49 PM)
They move about, ya know? They go in and out depending where the crowds go...
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:02:28 PM)
*she nods some and looks back at her* All right. They'll be out of here next week. Fair deal? You can see for yourself when you come in.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:03:23 PM)
Deal... I come in next saturday and I'm the only one around, you got a deal... But I swear! I know people... My cook is connected, you try and fuck me....
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:03:52 PM)
*she shakes her head, sincerely* I'm not going to.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:04:33 PM)
... Okay, deal. *She doesn't shake, instead she turns her head away, pretending she doesn't know you. Business as usual.*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:06:02 PM)
*she carries the glasses back towards the bar, looking around the room as she goes for the seeming potential competition* (2 sux to perc streetwise)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:08:43 PM)
*Looking around, you can make out small groups doing deals... nothing big time. Likley, seeing as this dealer is in this part of the bar that the others are hitting up hell and valhala...*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:10:24 PM)
*she drops the glasses off and heads for Hell, going in and moving towards the bar, presumably to check supplies, taking another look there to get a description if she can find one of the potentials* (1 sux perc streetwise)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:10:33 PM)
(You don't have to keep rolling :) )
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:13:27 PM)
*The place is, once again, filled with little people cutting little deals... But the big fish seems to be a man in a long coat who's standing near the VIP area. His little fish swim to him and back out amdist the people, doing the Magic Handshake with anyone who's interested.*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:15:20 PM)
(fine) *after continuing to the bar, jotting something down on a napkin to look like she's getting more stuff for them she makes her way towards the Valhalla room, traversing the metal catwalk easily and going down the steps towards the dancefloor level, eyes scanning the room again*
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:16:33 PM)
*Once again, with your knowladge it isn't hard to pick out the dealer that is keeping the supply moving. This one is another woman in her late 30's working with a group of lose dressed women. They ply their trade by showing a little skin to get people interested, then making the sale based on the idea that it might turn over their engines...*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:17:40 PM)
*she stops at the bar there too, "taking count" continuing to look around for number 3*
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:18:54 PM)
*inside... Nothing... Maybe outside? Or maybe they didn't come tonight?*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:20:39 PM)
*she scribbles on the napkin again and heads back upstairs, stopping at the bar to check in with the other bartender and to get a drink to take outside, presumably for her break to have another look around*
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:22:02 PM)
*Outside, there he is... A chubby guy in his 30's, black as the ace of spades, wearing brightly coloured clothes and throwing around the Magic Handshake whereever he can to the people waiting in line. A more flamboyant and vibrant type, he mixes easily with the crowd, his street lingo impecible*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:24:14 PM)
*she waits outside till she finishes her soda before going back in and heading towards the head bouncer, giving him a sly smile as she sidles up beside him, standing close to him* Hey, man. How are things? *even batting her eyelashes once or twice to flirt with him*
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:26:41 PM)
*He smiles wide, big white teeth gleaming, bling glittering in the half light* Yoooooo gggiiirrrl, hit a brotha up! *He grabs your hand and slaps it, patting you on the back with the other hand* You buying tonight? I got som'thang make you smile wide!
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:27:52 PM)
*she keeps smiling, nodding* Maybe we can work something out. Think you could take care of some problem guests for me? *patting his huge, muscled bicep* We have a couple of ...nuisances.
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:28:21 PM)
Woah woah woooaaah, slow your roll. I anit your bouncer, baby!
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:29:43 PM)
*she tilts her head to the side, giving sad eyes* We couldn't even discuss it at least? After work?
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:30:16 PM)
*He laughs and slips an arm around your hips* (Wanna give me an App + Subt? See if you can melt his heart? ;) )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:30:47 PM)
(diff 6 too?)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:30:56 PM)
(Yesum)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:32:15 PM)
*she keeps up with the puppy dog eyes, staring into his, pressing up against him a little before the corners of her mouth start to smile, hopeful* (2 sux)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:33:57 PM)
(Okay, and just before we go on, an Intel + Kindred Lore, diff 7)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:35:21 PM)
(1 sux on that)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:36:15 PM)
*It occurs to you that, before you get rid of these people, you MAY want to check with your master if this is okay... He could have deals with these people, he could have them as slaves... Maybe he doesn't WANT just one person controlling drug traffic on his terf...*
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:38:05 PM)
*damned conscience and the tiny bit of intelligence she has, she sighs and pats the guy's arm again* Let's talk later. Tomorrow night even, hmm?
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:38:48 PM)
Awwwww babeh, don't go away mad! PJ's gonna make you happy.
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:39:33 PM)
*she slips away from him, putting on another smile for him, nodding* I know. Tomorrow. *she winks and heads back towards the bar, the smile gone as soon as she turns away from him*
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:40:15 PM)
(Go confirm your plan with Shairq... Then, next weekend we can do you running them out? :) )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:40:42 PM)
(if i can find him. *nods* thanks for the scene)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:41:53 PM)
(Thank YOU! Good plan, I hope it works out well! :D )
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:42:34 PM)
(i'll let you know when i have more to go on. want it as an fpm?)
Nast Wet Set (Jun 18, 2011 9:43:02 PM)
(Or another scene, either is fine :D Or your threads, I check them every day)
Lizzie Bassett (Jun 18, 2011 9:43:11 PM)
