@Minnie Valentina looks at you. "I do not need your flattery Yulia. I know who I am, only do it if it helps you feel like you need a remainder yourself. I cannot promess that you will never sleep with a client again, but your days doing so are numbered. I'll start pulling my weight so that nobody will ever touch you without your consent. As long as you do not disapoint me, you will have all the time in the world for yourself. Once in a while I'll give you a task and you will drop anything and do my task, I'll try to give you heads up - but even if I don't nothing is more important than my tasks."



@Athos Minnie. Valentina bids her farewell and send Athos some initial files. Of her work, apparently she wants Athos to cover for her at the warehouse selling. She just decided that she'd rather be someplace else and she is not sharing. The meeting is at 23:30 in the warehouse itself. Apparently to check that it is clean and transfer ownership. As for the other two buildings, you can really do it when ever you want.

The adept smiles despite herself.  "Well, if it's a cure for loneliness, I might be able to help with that."  She grabs a napkin and writes a commcode on it and then slides it over to her.  "Shoot me a message there whenever you like, I bet I can clear time from my schedule to show a girl the sights."

She smiles, leaving a small tip for the bartender and hopping up.  "But I bet this means I can't play at any table you're dealing at, which is a pity.  I don't think the casino would take kindly to that."
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Minnie watches Valentina depart, her face a mask.  Her ears are erect and tail straight, but Athos suspects the girl is troubled about something.  Maybe it's the glances at the closed door from which she had now emerged twice in Athos' presence that gives it away.  In any case, she doesn't seem at all interested in talking.  That becomes crystal clear when she turns to face Athos and says simply, "So where's the cat?"  The statement contains not even a shadow of her usual disdain for Artee.  Her mind is definitely somewhere else.  Perhaps behind the door...

Athos respects his friend too much to intrude on her privacy just yet.  She if and when she is ready to talk, so he leaves it alone for now.  "She should be out in the main lounge.  Let's go find her."  He makes sure the girl is with him and steps out into the main lounge after getting his weapon back.  Looking around he tries to spot Artie.

Minnie retrieves her knives as Artos re-holsters his massive weapon.  She has often jokes that the thing weighs as much as she does, and only half in jest.  As deadly as they are in her hands, Artos could probably use her knives as a toothpick.  Her slight frame makes her feel small around humans; around Artos and other trolls she may as well really be a mouse.

Thankful for the distraction from deeper thoughts, she follows Artos and stands ready to support him whatever he may need of her that evening and going forward...unless of course Dame Valentine directs her differently.  She truly hopes Valentina's priorities and Artos' never diverge.

So, Yulia, we have our project.  I need to oversee the transfer of a warehouse into family hands through purchase.  Two additional property owners need some convincing to fall in line with family needs.  I get to form a crew and thought that perhaps I would ask Artie as one.  Do you have any contacts that you would trust to help out?

Yulia looks thoughtful.  "Most of the people I know aren't the kind to deal out punishment or intimidate.  Would that fixer friend of yours have some leads?"

Athos nods.  "Maybe.  Maybe.  Have to get out of this place to make the call, though.  They got it secured tight against possible cheats.  We will have to find Artie the old fashioned way.  By the way, I am authorized to go up to 5k per head for the crew.  Looks like you just got a bonus, courtesy of the family."

The mismatched pair walk through the lounge looking for Artie.  While walking, he looks closely at his friend.  "And just so you know.  When you raced off after Jimmy, Artie raced off after you to make your back was covered.  Don't tell her that I told you because it might just ruin this fragging drek you two seem to thrive on.  Just saying."

@Artie Bekki seems a bit surprised and a bit thankful. "I will give you a call... you can count on it... and about playing my tables... that depends. " She finishes her drink and get back to her post.

@Artie Roxxy answer you - "sure thing doll... I could always use some side kick... what do you have for me?"

Artie looked past Bekki for just a moment, noticing Athos and Minnie stepping out from some back area.  Fancy, she thought as she got up.  She looked back at Bekki, "So call me sometime, omae."

She turned away from Athos and Minnie, moving through the aisles, game tables, and patrons to get outside without being noticed.  Neither of them were idiots, but even the slightest hint of recognition could be noticed by the wrong eyes, better to keep that possibility from being the case.

As she moved, her commlink buzzed.

Nice.  Just hope this doesn't cost me a fortune... maybe work out some sort of favor...

@Roxxy (Artie) It's a physical doodad.  Can we meet up somewhere so I can pass it off?  Just want to see where it's coming from and what might be on it.

After she zips off the message, she sends another.

@Athos (Artie) Heya, looks like you guys are getting out of the casino alive.  Still need me around?  If so, let me know where to meet up.  Evenas she sent it, she watched the two exit the building.  She turned around the corner and out of sight.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

@Artie Roxxy quickly text you back - ">>Doll, I take 500 upfront, if it take me more than a few hours of work I take 1k per day. I can meet you no problem. "

Minnie's left eyebrow arches at hearing this, suggesting she was surprised to hear it.  She doesn't say anything and her eyes keep scanning the room for the missing cart, but she now has even more to think about.

@Minnie as you enter the casino floor you just notice Artie on her way out. She did not even directly looked at you.

Yulia knew that Artee intended to watch from afar, so keeps scanning her surroundings even as she notes the cat adept's departure.  After a sufficient pause, she intended to share what she'd noticed to Artos, but the ringing of the troll's commlink made that unnecessary.

As the pair exits the casino, Athos' 'link goes off with Artie's message.  He reads it and sends one back, >>Artie.  Thanks for watching out for us in there.  Nothing now but I need you tonight if you are available.  Sending two address links.  If you have nothing to do this afternoon try reading up on Yak behaviors.  Follow-on part tomorrow if first part goes well.  Payday is 5K.  Meet at the first address at 2230.  Might be trouble, but not trying to start anything.  In or out?<<
