Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:31:28 AM)
*His housestead rested back far on a lage plant of land with a high hedge that has grown through a wrought iron fence and gate. The building was large, easily enough to have individual wings. the strucutre was very old, but sturdy by design, and grand on the inside*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:32:33 AM)
She pulls inito the driveway, her simple car in the place of grandness and opulence. She steps out, rings the bell.

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:33:32 AM)
*he came to the door and opened it, a smile on his face* And why are you ringing? *he smirked* Come on in.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:34:02 AM)
"Why are you answerng? You called me." She steps inside.

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:36:36 AM)
Jacob has the night off, its just me tonight.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:37:45 AM)
"You mean he actually takes time off?" she steps in and slips out of her coat. "I thought he was a bigger workaholic than you were."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:39:13 AM)
Yes, he does have time off. *he grins a bit* HE only joins me these days for the, unique trips I need to make. He's in charge of security all over now, so he has people for my regular day to day.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:39:44 AM)
'I see." She hangs up her coat. "Who else are we expecting?"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:41:00 AM)
I am expecting Mr. Price as well, not sure if anyone else will make it.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:41:14 AM)
"Mr. Price? Who is that?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 12:41:52 AM)
*It was a cold and lonely drive out to Xander's place, the silence only went to antagonize him that he hadn't had the stereo fixed, when he finally made his way there he stepped out of the civic and locked the door and went for the door of the building, Lou idly chewed on a toothpick as he made his way in the home, hands clutched in the pockets of his navy blue peacoat, he takes a breath and looks around for the large security gaurd whos name escaped him*

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:43:18 AM)
Mr. Price is a man of impecciable timing. *he smiled, and motioned towards RAndall as he stepped in* Mr. Price, welcome to my home.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 12:44:58 AM)
*he frowned at Xander and folded his arms, his voice of dry gravel echoing in the mans entryway* "I thought I told you to call me Lou... or are you trying to sell me something?"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:50:18 AM)
Not at all, I tend to stick to formalities in most respects. If it is your honest preference then I will call you lou.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 12:52:02 AM)
"Thanks..." *he nodded to Xander before breathing on his hands and rubbing them together, looking over Tarra in the meanwhile* "I remember seeing you at Primeval, but I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting" *looking to Xander for an 'all clear'*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:53:21 AM)
She smiles and puts out her hand. "Tarra Shapiro. Theano, if you would."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 12:54:04 AM)
Thi place is safe, and so are the people, we are amongst friends

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 12:55:58 AM)
*he nodded and shook Tarra's hand with a smile* "Theano, I am Randall Louis Percival Mahonney Price bani Flambeau, Adept of the Sixth Circle and all that jazz, pleasure to make your acquaintence."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 12:59:39 AM)
She smiles, then steps back, bows her head politely and stands to her full height. "Theano bani Fortuna, child of Hope, Despair and Chaos, student of Master DuPont, Disciple of the Fifth Circle, keeper of Misfortune. How do you do?"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:01:47 AM)
*he looked a bit suprised, having figuired they had met, but shrugs and pours himself a scotch*

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:03:11 AM)
"I do well, I typically do better but things are a bit difficult right now... my daughter goes under the knife tomorrow night... but its always nice to sit amongst friends."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:03:24 AM)
"What is wrong with your daughter?"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:04:30 AM)
*he quirked his brow as he walked back and sat down in one of the overstuffed couches*

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:05:15 AM)
"She currently has Stage III Melanoma... Its taken to expand to her major organs, this is one of the last attempts we have to excise the tumors before its too late... but if you don't mind I'd prefer not to talk about it."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:05:39 AM)
"I am so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help? Pray?

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:06:36 AM)
"Perhaps, I'll let you know after the surgery." *a wounded smirk from the twinge of his lips*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:07:16 AM)
"I am sorry. i meant no offense."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:08:02 AM)
"No no, its... its fine, don't be sorry for me, just be understanding... anyway... what else do we have on the docket? recent news?"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:08:24 AM)
My bar here is far superior to the one in the office, please help yourself. Recent News? Construction continues on with the chantry.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:08:59 AM)
*he nods* "Hmmm... where did you have in mind?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:10:22 AM)
""Forgive me, I truly believe in prayer."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:10:52 AM)
A ridge I found along the river. The ley lines run along the river, and has a tendecny to pull and eddy in its own way. I've found such an eddy, which should supply a sufficient quantity of energy for everything a chantry will need once tapped into it.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:13:15 AM)
"When will it be completed?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:14:37 AM)
"Excellent." *he made his way to the bar and poured himself a glass of boubon and ice before slowly walking back to Tarra with a sigh and a smile*

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:15:24 AM)
I'm trying not to pull direct attention onto the building where we will be housed in the complex too much, so its not going to be the first one put up. Ground has been broken though for our building, construction is udnerway, though I would still like the attention of a Hermetic architect if anyone knows one..

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:17:37 AM)
"You should find one who analyzes things through correspondence. they can find optimal angles and all."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:18:32 AM)
"Try the Freemasons... they may not know exactly what we want but they'll get damn close, they are mundane, won't call attention, and still set up a center of occultism with all neccisary symbolism."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:18:57 AM)
*he merely smirked, chuckling lightly and sipping his scotch*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:19:11 AM)
She gives Xander a sidelong glance. "I don't think he knows any."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:21:26 AM)
The new Hermetic Chantry will be one of many buildings in the new Souther Region hub for the Fraternal Order of Freemasonry.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:22:15 AM)
*he smirked* "Kudos"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:23:05 AM)
"if you are lucky you should be able to get them to front some of the bill..."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:23:28 AM)
((just a note, the Gutherie temple here in oklahoma, is fucking amazing))

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:23:41 AM)
(nice)

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:24:39 AM)
Its all been arranged Lou. Finances, support, publicity. *he sipped his scotch again* I know my craft.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:25:37 AM)
"Indeed, you do. I cannot argue with that."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:28:58 AM)
Main thing I need assistance with, is the actual magical side of the whole thing.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:29:04 AM)
*he shrugged happily at Xander before sipping his whiskey and grimacing with a smile*

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:29:26 AM)
"Don't look at me, my specialty is blowing shit up."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:29:55 AM)
"I've neve blown anything up...just helped people to aim." her hands shake a little as she drinks her water.

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:30:09 AM)
Which is a very useful skill and craft to know. Much more dangerous than mine. *he grinned*

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:30:37 AM)
*he rose an eyebrow and smirked at Xander* "I beg to differ"

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:31:28 AM)
Explosions tend to hurt more when they backfire.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:32:07 AM)
"But money can ruin your existance, too muh or too little of it.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:32:35 AM)
"Perhaps, but a Corporate Assault can ruin a lot more lives a lot faster than a pistol or a carbomb can."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:34:06 AM)
Well, it does have those few dangers in herit to it.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:35:04 AM)
"Pistol has a more simple safety to it..." *he smiles and sips his bourbon* "Anyway, I'm glad your on this case instead of me."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:35:16 AM)
*you're

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:35:42 AM)
Whats the pulse around the city these days? Dangerous things happening?

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:36:29 AM)
"According to Craig, yes. But he doesn't tell me much."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:39:14 AM)
*he almost says something but then catches himself* "I've got a few leads on some things, but until I can verify anything I shouldn't say anything."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:39:44 AM)
"It's Ok. Be honest with me. You won't offend me."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:39:59 AM)
The more eyes looking for the truth, the easier it is to find.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:42:26 AM)
"Sadly, truth is always colored by the perception of the seeker."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:43:07 AM)
"how long have you been in New Orleans, Lou?" she takes a seat, crossing one knee over the other.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:43:27 AM)
*he blinks a moment* "Not long, a few weeks maybe?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:43:46 AM)
"What brought you here?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:44:46 AM)
*he smiled wincingly* "Just so happens that the foremost expert on Melanoma practices here. So my daughter and I moved from Columbia, South Carolina down here."

Xander Sinclair (Dec 15, 2010 1:45:01 AM)
*he was quiet as they spoke*

"That's a much better reason than 'my job' or 'personal cuiosity' or 'amazing love of gumbo.' it show me that you oe your daughter. I'm envious.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:47:36 AM)
(he's not resopnding on skype)

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:47:41 AM)
"What's her name?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:47:43 AM)
[[want to wait 5 minutes and then move on without him?]]

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:47:47 AM)
"Sheryl..."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:47:59 AM)
'If it's alright to ask...where is her mother?

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:49:17 AM)
*he sighed and then laughed to himself a moment before swallowing* "My wife died in a car accident a little less than 6 years ago."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:49:42 AM)
Her tone softens. "I am so sorry."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:50:09 AM)
*he nods* "Me too, I miss her, she was a lot stronger than me."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:50:43 AM)
"How did you know she was the One?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:53:34 AM)
*he chuckled* "I didn't, we got married for the extra pay I would get when I joined the military... when I got her pregnant she was so mad at me... it wasn't until I got back from my first tour that I really learned how much she ment to me... I suppose I had the best luck of all, I accidentily married my wife... we just both realized it after the fact."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:54:36 AM)
'I can think of a ot wose reasons to ge married. and it sounds like you're a good father."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:56:01 AM)
*he shook his head* "I'll be the first to admit, I've been a pretty crumby father to Sheryl, but now that I'm here and she needs me I can't let her down, I'm the only one she's got left."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:56:38 AM)
'I envy that." there's a softness to her voice, a yearning that tells the truth of her statement.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:57:57 AM)
*his face turned solemn and he looked to Tarra with a cautiously raised eyebrow, he softly looked over her* "Hmm?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 1:58:01 AM)
"I hope your daughter makes a full recovery and grows up, never questioning her father's love."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 1:59:43 AM)
*he chuckles* "Me too... but Sheryl wasn't very fond for me before hand, and she's got enough of me in her that she'll still be as stubborn as before once she gets better, she wouldn't let something like cancer get in the way of resenting her father for being an old stick in the mud."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:00:18 AM)
"Only while she's a teen, and you're beating the boys away from her." A soft smile.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:02:11 AM)
*he smirked and rubbed his temples, his palm covering his eyes and nose* "She turns 21 the beginning of next month and I haven't the slightest what to get her."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:03:35 AM)
That gets her to raise an eyebrow. "How old are you?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:06:33 AM)
"I'm 38 years old... 39 in march."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:06:44 AM)
"You became a father when you were young."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:07:54 AM)
"Yup... I had just joined the armed forces and hadn't even intended on getting my new wife pregnant... but I wasn't about to leave for a tour of duty without... well, I'll spare you the details." *he smirked to himself*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:09:02 AM)
"For the most part, children happen because they do. Despite of what they say, very few are actually planned. They'e gifts." She seems sincere, but a deeper story is hiding there/

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:10:58 AM)
*he smiled* "Sheryl is my happy accident, I didn't intend on making her but I've always been happy that she's here."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:11:47 AM)
"You're a good father. She's lucky to have you?

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:11:50 AM)
(.)

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:12:29 AM)
"Thanks, I suppose I'm trying to make up for lost time... I certainly haven't made things easy on her.":

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:12:58 AM)
"Part of that is love. You don't show it by always making it easy?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:13:07 AM)
(damn typos)

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:14:15 AM)
"perhaps... but I haven't been there for her, I've spent most of her life out of the country... I didn't even get to see her until she was 3."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:14:29 AM)
She listens now.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:14:53 AM)
"Mmm... perhaps, I can hope."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:15:07 AM)
"She's going to be alright."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:17:44 AM)
*he smiled at her before sipping his bourbon*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:18:40 AM)
"I'm sorry. Having that much love from a parent..I'd die for that."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:19:32 AM)
*his chest tightens* "I'm just hoping she doesn't have to."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:21:43 AM)
"You're in the hands of the best doctors in the country. You're in league with people who can bend reality. Why are you woried?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:24:22 AM)
*he shook his head* "I just don't want her to leave me before I can have a chance to make things right, and now all of my hopes and dreams rest on the edge of a knife. I've never been more nervous in my life."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:25:11 AM)
"What is happening tomorrow/"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:26:52 AM)
*he swallowed* "Simple excising of some of her surface tumors, an attempt to cut out the largest cysts and keep them from spreading to the vitals."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:28:20 AM)
She pauses. "Would you like to give her some luck?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:29:34 AM)
*he pauses, caught in a bit of a lie, he finally acquieses[sp?]* "Sure."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:30:00 AM)
"Do you have something of hers?"

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:31:37 AM)
*he pulled out his wallet and pulled out a little picture of Sheryl as a child, clutching a little strawberry shortcake doll* "...will this work?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:32:20 AM)
She nods, then takes it into her hands, and reaches for her jacket. She takes a small pin off of it, some letters in hebrew on it.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:36:04 AM)
*he blinks as she does so, defensively wrenching his hands before calming himself down*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:37:00 AM)
she holds it to the point that she bleeds a little bit on it. he can feel his awareness flash as she begins her cast, a ritual in a home that isn't even hers. She draws an abacus out of her bag, a piece of paper and begins to write: temperature, pH, different numbers that correspond to the life and vital signs that his daughter will need to survive. it's as if for a moment, he feels hope flow into the room, fortune reverse itself. The darkness goes away. He feels calm, lucky, as she makes this, the odds reversing for this girl. when she finishes, she looks tired, drained. "I give this to you conditionally. Make me a promise."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:38:06 AM)
*he took it with a nod* "Of course"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:38:53 AM)
she gives him the pin. "I have taken their misfortune. The person you give this to: the surgeon, the atient, the anesthesiologist..whomever. this will give them luck. Use it wisely."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:40:23 AM)
*he nodded* "I promise..." *accepting the pin from her and placing it in a safe spot in his wallet*

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:41:52 AM)
"I give that to you because you love your daughter. She's lucky to have that.'

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:44:56 AM)
*he smiled proudly and nodded* "Thank you Theora"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:45:14 AM)
"Theano." She poliely corrects, and stands up.

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:45:24 AM)
(+3 to a single die roll)

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:45:43 AM)
[[will that extend to a magic roll?]]

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:45:50 AM)
((Sure.))

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:45:55 AM)
[[tizight]]

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:46:02 AM)
((it's entropy. so increasing the odds.))

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:46:54 AM)
"My father and I don't get along. So when I see that trend reverse...believe me, it's somehing I want in the world."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:47:51 AM)
*he stood as she did, being respectful but also because he needed to leave soon, he hears her and nods* "Thats too bad, but I'm happy that you can help us."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:48:52 AM)
'I'm glad to as well. She's gong to be Ok."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:49:38 AM)
*he nodded again with a smile* "Thank you... If you don't mind... its getting late... I should be getting home."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:50:00 AM)
"so should I. I have to pack."

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:51:40 AM)
"pack?"

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:51:55 AM)
"Good luck with your daughter."

Tarra Shapiro (Dec 15, 2010 2:52:38 AM)
She starts to walk towards the door.

Randall (Lou) Price (Dec 15, 2010 2:52:45 AM)
"No need, you already gave her yours." *he smiled and followed her out*
