*The same dumb as a rock goon that had appeared at the Concorde weeks ago was standing sentry duty outside John's office door*
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:19:39 PM)
((do you want me to diceroll getting rid of him? or just rp it?))
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:21:57 PM)
(Just rp)
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:22:14 PM)
*it had been a long time coming, no thanks in part to Juhani deciding that assholes who demand deserve ignorance, though now in one his immaculate grey suits, shoes tapping sharply, his grin is positively threatening as he strides to the office door, the sunglasses coming off as he approaches the thug, voice low, controlled, and commanding as a flash of Angelic brilliance burns from him, like supernovas in his eyes* Run away, little boy. ((Radiance uhhh 2, I think that is))
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:25:04 PM)
*He looked sirprised at first, then beat feet , making a hasty retreat, likely off to have a drink to steady his nerves. The office door opened and a blond bunny type slipped out, giving Juhani the once over before slipping around him to go oiut front*
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:26:06 PM)
*grinning at the bunny, he gives a small bow as she steps past before simply walking in and shutting the door behind him, quite content with such a small gesture in reparation for the invasion perpetrated against him*
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:27:57 PM)
*He was on the phone, talking rapidly, clearly a business call. He motioned Ju to the chare before his desk. John was in a suit, a clean-cut business type that reeked of money and the office bore this out. There were several framed gold record son the walls, lots og photos of musicians, reviews from Rollind Stone, etc. *
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:29:27 PM)
*shruggin once and taking a moment to survey the walls, the Finn's eyes light up at some of the more outrageous pictures and albums before slowly turning to sit, digging in his jacket for a cigar and quickly lighting it, content to await the end of the call - after all, he wouldn't want to be -rude-*
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:31:26 PM)
*John cut the call short and pulled out an ashtray, which he set between them, and a cigar of his own* Good evening, Mr. Jarvinen, nice to see you
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:32:38 PM)
*laughing coldly, Juhani nods slowly* I'm sure it is. I hope my timing is not an inconvenience.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:33:39 PM)
Not at all. And Before we begin, allow me to apologize for Mick's behavior at the Concorde.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:35:46 PM)
Oh you don't need to apologise to me. Apologise to the Minister of Dust. It is her club mostly, I simply run the books *eyeing up his cigar, he smiles slowly at the other Fallen*
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:37:43 PM)
Yeah, he's got shit for brains, but the muscle is goof. *He smiled and exhaled a plume of bluish smoke* How's things going wiht the new Tyrant? Spoke to her brielfy a couple of weeks ago but since then we've been two ships passing
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:39:47 PM)
*Juhani's brow raises a little* She is busy, but well. However you did not call me out with such delightfully tactful goons simply to talk about the Tyrant. In fact, at that point in time -I- was still the prime candidate for the throne. No, you want to talk about something more relevant than mere court politics, I think.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:42:27 PM)
It involves you all, however. All of us actually. There is a woman in town. Dont' know if you've met her but since we didn;t connect so I could let you know, she made contact before I could. Marguerette. Heard of her?
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:45:30 PM)
Yes, the naked woman, claims you and the Slaver have been managing her ongoing internment imprisonment.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:46:10 PM)
*That got a smile* And I suppose we are both evil incarnate too?
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:47:02 PM)
No, only Maksim. I have no time for that level of filth. You I have not made a decision on yet. *inhaling on his cigar slowly, his eyes stay on the man* I have not met her, though some of the more gullible types seem to think her story has merit.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:49:26 PM)
What story did she give, exactly?
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:50:38 PM)
Nothing substantial. Third party, hear-say, the usual. You are both evil. you both are keeping secrets, etcetera. Not that you aren't keeping secrets, and not that I would not love to hear why the fuck the former court is gone, not to mention the bullshit Maksim continued to spout about us knowing nothing.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:53:44 PM)
He spouts a lot of what you call bullshit, as does Marguerette. She will play on their sympathies like a master, fair warning.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:54:56 PM)
*shrugging again, he waves a hand at that comment* They all do, or try. They have sympathies, and I have ideals. They are more difficult to toy with in some ways. I do not trust her, but I trust very few anyway. *he drags out a pause* If you wish to share with me -why- she is a threat, I would not be opposed.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 4:56:22 PM)
*He let out a lsow breath* POlitics makes for strange bedfellows, always has and this time is no different. IN our case, it forced Maksim and I to work together - something that is not our usual.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 4:57:59 PM)
I had thought that to be the case. His actions alone are fairly abhorrent. But that still does not fill in the blanks. I do not think you want the new court to fail, but we are flying blind.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:02:33 PM)
I think he is biding his time to be honest. He expects you all to fail on your own and he will then step in to pick up the pieces.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:04:00 PM)
I wish him luck. He already has at least two people actively ravaging his mundane affairs, and as he has already kidnapped the Tyrant once, he is an enemy of the court officially.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:13:42 PM)
*that seemed to amuse him* soemone's screwing around with Maksim's affairs? well well, that is the best news I've had all day
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:15:20 PM)
Intensely so. A little Spider took certain insults and threats to heart. It keeps them happy at leas *grinning, he shakes his head slowly* Do you plan to speak with the Court at large? Perhaps an introduction? Or will you continue to remain apart?
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:16:57 PM)
We will see how it goes. For now? If those intent on causing you harm think I am on the outside, they may be more willing to talk, you see? Could be more useful in the short term. This Marguerette, though. Look at her this way. If she was enough of an incentive to get me to work with Maksim, that should speak volumes.

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:19:55 PM)
Volume about what, though? Quite frankly this tight lipped approach does no favours. If there is something that at least one of us in the Court should know, then tell me. If nothing else I am probably the only one who doesn't believe you to be a close ally to the Slaver.
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:20:16 PM)
*walks to the atendant and, seeing that noone is in line, engages him.*
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:20:52 PM)
Hi, id like to purchase some shoes and a ball, do you sell the outright?
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:22:27 PM)
::Yea, you know your size and ball weight? we have these to choose from. ::the atendent motions his arm to a selection of balls and Bowling shoes:: :
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:23:05 PM)
Ezekiel? He is one you need to cultivate. He's good people, and worth the effort. Marguerette is trouble, pure and simple. She may beg for sympathy but make no mistake, those she associates with mean you nothign but trouble
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:23:14 PM)
Ill take the black ones in size 12, and that neat 16lb blurple ball you got.
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:24:03 PM)
::That'll be $125.95 charge or cash?::
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:24:19 PM)
*hands the man $130 bucks*
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:24:40 PM)
*collects his items*
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:25:40 PM)
oh, and ill take that lane waaaay over there.
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:26:37 PM)
*leaves a ten noting the prices above the desk, and continues down the carpeted area of the alley to his lane in the back.*
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:26:41 PM)
Ezekiel? Is that the name he goes by? No matter, I can not abide those who would debase our children so *the gaze turns dark, his lips tightening as though holding back a more savage sign* What is her crime?
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:28:59 PM)
*he leaned across the desk* Look at it this way. If Maksim is afraid to go after her, but tried to talk your Tyrant into killing her off instead? What does that tell you?
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:30:51 PM)
It tells me that either he is inept a killing, or that she may be the servant of the one who we cannot yet identify. The options are limited, and I am not prepared to play guessing games. I leave that up to Swan and his all singing, all dancing crew of egotists.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:31:58 PM)
Maksim is not adn never has been inept at killing, so that leaves you your answer.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:34:21 PM)
*he sighs with obvious exasperation* Then why not simply tell us so that we can muster every Malefactor, Slayer, and Devourer in the court and have ourselves a joyously fun time? It is the obfuscation that frustrates me, you must understand. And I assume you know who she serves as well. Hell, I'm sure Perri already knows this already as well, for the most part *he mutters something in Finnish, shaking his head in annoyance* Nothing is ever easy.
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:34:38 PM)
*adornshis new shoes and starts up the bowling computer's name system entering: Mamon
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:35:35 PM)
*the pins are released and Sid Takes his first try.*
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:37:31 PM)
No but you have to attack this the smart way, not the rash way
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:38:32 PM)
You make smart tactical decisions based on knowledge. It is a lack of knowledge that leads to desperation, and desperation to stupidity. Ignorance is bliss only when you are not in the thick of it already.
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:38:35 PM)
*sid's posture is decent and curls the ball just right, resulting in a mediocre strike* ((2 successes))
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:39:46 PM)
Agreed. BUt getting close to her is goign to take some planning, and as it's an issue of the court, I assume your crew will be involved?
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:39:48 PM)
*plays out the round in a similar manor and would end up with a decent if not great score of 232*
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:42:03 PM)
*laughing softly, he shrugs his shoulders* What crew? I am a Warder, but I have not yet met even my own Minister, who remains reticent and absent despite my attempts to meet. I am the Tyrant's Knight first and foremost in this city, and I intend to maintain stability. We both know that as far as politics goes, this city is nought but a centre from which to pursue more important goals.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:43:59 PM)
That's how we have always been. You do what you can and I'll help you. Just know that this won't be simple
Sid Grahm (Nov 21, 2010 5:44:13 PM)

Marguerette became a traitor.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:50:26 PM)
Hrmmm and the reckoning fell *smiling slowly, coldly, he shakes his head once more* It has been a pleasure to meet you, in more ways than one. Do not be a stranger.
John Lefevre (Nov 21, 2010 5:50:57 PM)
I'd say the same to you. Those of our outlook need to stick together.
Juhani Järvinen (Nov 21, 2010 5:51:51 PM)
Yes. We do. *his tone gives little away, though it seems somewhat distant as he nods his head once and makes his exit without pause*
