"Yeah, thanks Svenja." I tell her. "I'm sorry- I might have spooked Chunky."
I lower my voice to barely a whisper. "Can you come up to the infirmary with me? The thing that happened before Boomtown... I might have a problem."
I tie the guys leg tight. "It's gonna hurt, but it'll slow the blood down." I tell him. "Stay down and don't say a frakking word." My face is stern. I'm pissed.
I stand up and shout. "Everybody stop!" Practically at the top of my lungs. I hope they…
I nod at her proposal. "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." I grin.
"Went to the infirmary after Santi used Chiffon for a punching bag. I was just curious." I answer her.
Crap. I didn't think she'd actually shoot him, either.
Before I even realize it, I'm down on the floor next to Chubby, tearing a strip of his shirt off for a makeshift tourniquet. It's not the smart move, but I can't help it.
OOC: Read a sitch in…
I'm not high on shooting people- I still carry the stunner around with me when I leave the infirmary sometimes- but it's not my call. If the guys are dumb enough to mess with Ascendant guards, I don't have anything in me to speak for them.
I step f…
No, I don't take Metro to the bay with me- too many people, too much chance of violence, especially lately.
Good for Janco- she works almost as hard as me and that's not healthy. If she's found a way to blow off steam, I'm happy for her.
I hang ba…
"I'm sorry- I wasn't clear. I'm not asking for all those things, they are merely several things I need and would accept any as payment." Or all, if she was that gullible. My way of trying to squeeze out as much as I can from a deal. "Who is your fri…
I'm not going to sign up for working for a boss. Been there, done that. Not going back. Now if you are talking about working together- more of an independent consultant type thing, that can totally happen. You're gonna have to show me you can give m…
I am telling the truth, but not the whole truth. Santi told me we'd work something out- meaning she would feed me choice information I'd be interested in, or beat heads for me. I'm really not interested in her protection, it was merely a way to get …
This girl. I rub my chin. So very forthright with the truth- if it is the truth. The Northern Candies were a pale imitation the last time I heard- I wonder if she was the one to shape them up?
"Fair enough." I tell her. "Santi wanted du cut off, bu…
She obviously doesn't like being called that. "I'd like to know how a woman as young as yourself- who hasn't resided here for very long- managed to become a councilwoman." I've heard enough around to know a few on the council don't like her. If I'm …
Why is it everybody wants to know the particulars of everybody else's deals?
I lean in and and smile conspiratorially- "You can hardly expect me to say yes, Councilwoman." I know that's not what she's looking for though- I'm just playing with her a…
My eyebrows go up at the bit about Candy Bars- I would not have guessed that. She's young, but has obviously seen some shit in her life. Haven't we all.
I practically preen when she calls my show classy- plenty of folk have names for it, but the la…
I have to ignore my urge to go schmooze with other customers. I sit down in front of her and smile. "Of course."
I intend to settle in and make as much jingle as possible. Maybe add a couple new folks to my crew. I'm not looking to cause any troubl…
Ah, a woman after my own heart. "We pretty much have a stable customer base anywhere we go for the show, the thing we're feeling out is private bookings." I tell her.
"Can I get either of you a drink?" I ask.
I shake Kiddo's hand firmly, but not hard- my eyes crinkling into a smile. "Just because you can doesn't mean you have to." I say. "The first one's free for beautiful ladies such as yourselves."
OOC: Read Kiddo incoming.
I nod at Velvet- I'm not thrilled about giving out free dances, but if I can get the ear of a council member... yeah, that's not an opportunity I'll pass up.
I walk up just as Chiffon is introducing himself, nodding at the two men. "I'm Proper, I r…
Silk's performance is flawless. It'd better be with the time she blocks out for practice.
Someone spilled a drink off on stage right- might have been Velour for all I know- right where Silk is gonna be in about a minute and a half. I stalk off to …
Yeah, I end up frakking Too. Silk is miles better, but doesn't always take my direction. I do sympathize with Too- for about a half second. She did want me to frak her.
OOC:
*Will my crew accept them?
*Who will try to take them from me once they ar…
Why do I feel like Silk set me up? She's got a crush or something on Tooheys- that's why she took her as an assistant. The problem is now that I've dug this grave, I have to lie in it.
I pull back from both of them. "Too- I will not force you to do…
This will be a good lesson for her, then. Plenty of times performers are booked by clients that they aren't very attracted to- or even at all. Silk probably knew that- she's been paying much more attention to the girl than I have.
OOC: What does To…
