*One of the guys gets pushed over and he walks the rest of the way*
"I couldn't help but overhearing, but pretty girls should never have to pay to be taken care of right."
"Excuse me, sir, but my () is the size of a baby's arm, and you are nowhere near my proficiency; the lady is out of your league, I suspect. My services do not come as cheaply as yours. It is, of course, up to her."
*Cass looks at you and him*
"Leave him alone Az, at least he came over politely. Az and I were just playing, you got some nice rides out there."
*He smiles*
"You think, do you drive? Girls like you looking like that, I mistook you for drivers."
*Cass and Darla blush a bit*
"I barley drive, I was learning how, I can't speak for Darla"
*Darla grins*
"I can drive pretty well, but we don't have the funds for cars right now, well maybe after another night like tonight."
*The guy smiles*
"Well I see you girls got some green, you could always bet on races, or be flag girls. The girls get a 10% cut of the winnings to draw the other drivers, spectators and to get betting going. It's usually how you get started, make some green, get some wheels. I'm Josh, and over there is Tasha, Misuki, Brian, Gerry, and Kirk."
"Nice to meet you, Josh." I'm mostly uninterested in the conversation, since he's flirting with my women, but I'm not concerned, just disinterested.
*It has gone from flirting to shop talk, he is enthused about cars, and looks to be genuine in helping the girls out, and you if you want to get started*
"It was good meeting you guys, *takes a napkin and writes their cells (the 6 of them)* "Give us a call, those are our cells. We meet different places each night to keep ahead of 5-0."
*Cass smiles*
"Sounds like fun good meeting you, we'll be calling."
*Cass looks at you and rolls her eyes*
"You know sometimes talking to people gets you more than ignoring them."
I answer her, "Ignoring them usually works fine for me. Look where it's gotten me so far." I grin.
*She and Darla both roll their eyes at that one*
*Cass Retorts*
"You mean ignoring them, has gotten you where you are despite ignoring them. I swear sometimes, your like a little kid."
*Darla says*
"I find being friendly and receptive gives me more opportunities to attain goals I want."
*You all finish your meal, they leave in an hour, you at about 8:30, Cass and Darla picking the apt you will stay in, you probably feel it's best, they decide to forget the apartment and rent a house, the housing prices making renting a house a better value, the decide on a 1k a month house with a pool in the back.*
That's fine.
§
Speaking in an OOC sense, at some point I'd like Arziay to be split away from his associates and allow Cass to become either a verser in her own right or to go with Darla. I think that he depends too much on their abilities without building enough on his own, but I don't think he'd recognize that unless he had to.
((Not a problem, we can work that in. Having a strong willed woman is hard to control))
*You head to Walmart, the only place open to pick up at least one set of clothes. The girls are obviously just picking up the Jeans/T Shirts/Boots to look like they belong now, you on the other hand being a guy, can get anything short of leather or spikes and chains here for your new look. Your also in Walmart, might be a good time, to consider rounding out your list of things*
Yeah, Walmart isn't really the place to pick up a high-quality leather trenchcoat, but I'm going for black with my ensemble. If they've got a nice black hat I'll go with that; ideally going for something like a wide-brimmed fedora, I think.
Thinking kind of along the lines of an old-school Undertaker from WWF as far as the ensemble goes.
*Black Tshirts, Jeans, Boots, yes, Black Fedora, and Trenchcoat, can probably get them both at a good Leathershop, for that you would have to wait for them to open. Anything else in terms of equipment?*
Ahh... not really, nah. Nothing comes to mind.
*Ok you spend a couple hundred on much needed clothing, I am assuming you got socks, underwear, replacing the worn, but not as worn as they should be clothes you are wearing? Cass and Darla, aren't touching anything that isn't a shirt or a pair of jeans, and boots, and picking up one of each. Most of the bill is spent by you. They change outside behind some cover.*
"Ok we are ready, let's go"
All sounds good to me. I'm ready to move along once I change as well.
*You head out, you meet with the landlord, Cass negotiates 900 a month, with first and last and security, giving him 2700, he seems happy, you have a place. GE Roll 10*
*Cass and Darla speak*
"Ok we have a place for three months, as much fun as that was last night, it was a one time thing. I think being flag girls and 10% of the take, is a way for us to pay to be here, and maybe get cars of our own. What do you think Az?"
"I think definitely. It sounds like a sweet deal. You two should go for it. As for me.. maybe I should try to get a job some place here. I'd like to continue learning martial arts, like we started with Bruce."
*They consider*
"Why not do both, teach what you know and sit in on classes with the other instructors. Get paid to increase your own skills, and learn others free."
"That sounds great; maybe I'll go around and see what I have to offer at martial arts instruction places."
*You go around all day, but you only find the run of the mill karate places, and the instructors are "Black Belts", but only amateurs. ((GE Roll 23 for that day, and I made 7 other GE rolls, none of which under 18, on the 10th day you finally find what you are looking for, You find a place, in the heart of Miami, teaching various Martial Arts, professionally. You go in, and show him what you got, and your three different ones at professional levels. Yanni, the owner and head instructor pulls you aside.*
"I can give you 500 a week, you teach 4 classes a day, take on private students and can sit on any of the instructors here. I would pay you more, but if you are going to sit in, I figure to make your base pay lower, but give you the chance to do One on One sessions since you are that good. Sound like a deal?"
"Please. I'm looking forward to working with you, Honored Master."
*He laughs*
"We are on the same level, colleges, Yanni is fine. You'll find that once people experience the Tiger Shuelman's Karates in town, if they are serious they end up here. Those people usually have a lot of money to give to someone who knows their stuff. You build up your reputation, and you'll rake it in. Just a word of advice, gang members come in here, make them take off their colors in here. Everyone in here is a brother or sister, and we strive to make sure that the discipline they learn here, affects other parts of their life."
I nod. "It's a sure thing. I'm not big on gang families, but dojo families are another thing altogether.
"We have uniforms? A standardized uniform would probably take the argument right out of it."
*He smiles and tosses you a box just for yourself*
*We offer a free uniform for signing up for a three month membership, we also discount the membership knowing that once people come here they stay. They get a uniform for each three month membership, so it pretty much keeps them coming in. We do sell a monthly one, but it's rare to get someone not want the uniform, and the free belts the three month one provides. They cost about 2 dollars to make, and we buy, by the thousand. Everybox has 12, so I say you are set. The image on the back is of a Fox fighting a Snake*
Very nice. What's the place called?
I can start work immediately, or in the morning.
*It's called Cunning Fox Self Defense*
"It's up to you, I don't have classes setup for you of course, but you can assist other instructors."
I'd love to. Let's do that.
((16 GE roll))
*You get to hold the bags and be the person being worked on, but it goes well, you see there are a lot of classes, and a lot of students, it should shape out to be an interesting job.*
*You get home and there is a note from the girls saying they are out making some money and contacts*
Right, then, shower, change, do laundry, keep busy til late, hoping they get home soon.
*You take a shower, laundry, they get home around 2, both wearing revealing outfits, laughing and having fun.*
*Cass says*
"Az you missed some fun, how did things go for you today?"
2... am?
I'm asleep, I assume; I probably have work in the morning and I don't want to be tired for my first day on the job.
*When you awake, you are surrounded by two beautiful naked women, Cass has her tail wrapped around you*
*You are able to extract yourself, and get a shower, get ready, make breakfast, if you make food they will awake.*
I was counting on that, so I'll make breakfast for all of us; if they're coffee drinkers I'll have that on, too.
"How was your day yesterday, ladies?"
*They groggily wander in, both wearing one of your older shirts*
*Darla yawns*
"It was fun, we met a lot of people, ran from the cops, got paid, 1k, was a decent night of betting, low risk to us since we aren't racing."
*Cass adds*
"Lots of interesting people and cars, how was your day?"
*They both start with a cup of coffee*
"Got a job, I'll be making 500 a week teaching four martial arts classes a day at Cunning Fox Self Defense school."
*Cass smiles*
"That's great, I assume, you'll also take on private sessions for more money. I'm glad your doing what you want here hun."
*Darla adds*
"You know aside from sleeping till noon, might be worth it to sign on for some classes."
"Sure, if you guys want to; though Cass is probably good enough to be an instructor herself, and she and I wouldn't mind giving you a few... more... private lessons than the ones we've ben giving you."
Halo.
*Darla smiles*
"Works for me honey."
*They sign up for three month memberships when they wander in at noon, having gone back to bed for awhile, they get their uniforms. They both pay $300, but it's like a gym membership, so you can get your money's worth*
((GE roll 10, it will be 6 months before a major event, anything planned?))
Not much; I will attend my job and push myself to achieve greatness.
((Question Event for you or them? Makes a difference, 180 days of training with instruction, how many increases is that for 2@ skills?))
180 days of training; I think it's every 2 weeks the trainer gets a skill check to increase the intensity one skill mark, and if he fails it's every 1 month.
Can make it for them is my ooc selection, from ic I would say for me.
