Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sue came out of a fortress of books. She's a petite women, at least 4 feet, with silver slicked back hair and thin glasses. Sue wore a royal purple suit with eccentric silver embroidery.
" Sue, you are one of the most prolific and skilled magic users i have ever known; and yet you do not have a more convenient way of communication in your shop of wonders?"
"It's in progress." Pepin said while stretching out on the counter.
Sue walked past Imogene, ignoring her and greeted Riot and Fee.
" Hello, welcome to my shop. If you imagine it we have it." she extended her hand for a hand shake. "I am Susan Campbell. And you are?"

Sue smiled. " A matter of fact i do. But first please sign your names here." Sue point to a contract that ran down the wall, behind the counter. A pen lay waiting on a stool. "Then stamp your hand with this." She pointed to the child like stamp next to the pen.

Imogene- "These are all necessary. The contract states that it is not Sue's responsibility what trouble you get into while wandering in her shop or using her portals. The stamp is a temporary pass that allows you to use only the portal from Sue's Shop to Anarchy, in case I'm not there and something happens."

Sue- "If you want to get a permanent pass you must go through the proper channels. Get a sponsor that's already a member and will vouch for your character. Then the test, and finally membership."

Sue and Imogene then pulled up the selves, flaunting matching tattoos. In the light, that tattoos seemed to spiral and crawl up and down their arms. Then they disappeared.

"I can't let her have all the fun." Riot signed his name on the paper. "See one of you hopefully on the other side." Piot stamped his hand and felt a wrench in his stomach. Within a second he felt like he was sucked in on himself. And if it wasn't for feeling like he spot himself back up he would've said it was the worst feeling in the world. "That's gonna take some getting used to huh Felecity." Riot looked at the stairs that headed down to a door with a flashing sign above it. "Well here we are milady.: Riot of course was joking. "It would be my pleasure to be an excort to such a beautiful lady." Riot smiled and laughed slightly as he offered his arm to Felecity.

Sue- "Well it seems we have some time until Riot and Felicity appear. I'll get to the point. What has brought you back Imogene? You are not Romeus dog, you wouldn't come running if he just called you. You enjoy your freedom too much. That and babysitting his daughter and her friend. What is the meaning of this?"

Imogene- " Now Sue, your paranoia is showing. The reason i came back is my business. I am neither a dog nor a babysitter. I have no reason to explain myself to you and i didn't ask you to come along."

Sue- was still suspicious but dropped the subject "....I haven't taken a break from the shop in a while."
Imogene smiled and gave Sue a nudge toward the crowd. "Well, we came here to socialize, so go on now. I have to meet up with someone."

Imogene saw Fee and Riot come toward her, she would have to get them situated and then meet her companion. I really did want to help Fee and Riot, but trickery isn't something that can be necessarily taught but more experienced. I need to find out the meaning of Lukia's mark, i know i have seen it before... It's driving me crazy! Sue would ask to many questions if i asked her. I know just the person to ask and he should be here tonight.

"Of course. Is that not what we came here for. Sue are coming along or should i leave you to your petty thoughts."
Sue gave me a glare so cold i felt it crawl up my spine. I couldn't help myself, even though the argument ended, i couldn't let it go. why do i do this to myself? ...Sue's the one who called names first, no one has ever dared to call me a dog! This is exactly what i hate and love about her, she doesn't scare easily.

"Oh no, i guarantee that my thoughts are not at all petty. Someone such as yourself should know the value of my thoughts... unless your age is finally getting to your brain. I'll join."

Someone needs to know there place...

"That's great. Well don't fall behind Sue. We don't want a repeat of the Steward's party. A pea brained hamster could have done better in that situation. But i guess, some people just lack the qualities needed to be a leader." With that Imogene left for the bar, leaving Sue before she could digest what she just heard.... Run for the hills!

Imogene sighed and looked behind her to see if she could spot Sue, she couldn't.
" First be aware of your surroundings. Who's here? what do they look like? how do they interact with each other? Are they shy or outgoing? Are they in groups or alone?"

" Trickery is all about making your subject feel comfortable enough to let their guard down. You are always in control. You set the pace. Omitting is a basic, leaving out certain details is not lying. Listen to your subject, observe, and you'll be able to make conversation. You can have an hour worth of dialogue about absolutely nothing. Do not give your full names here; some fey do come here."

Imogene took some photographs out of her coat pocket and gave it to Fee and Riot. "Our mission is to find this man, Damien. A half fey who grown too attached to his human side. He is suspected of telling some humans of the Fey's existence. We are to meet with his close friends and family; see if they might know of our existence and send the information to the "Butchers". Riot you talk to Damien's ex girlfriend, Cathy, Fee you talk to his close friend, Samantha and I'll take his half brother, Alex. They all work in the same company and have come here to let loose. you don't need to get the information today, just get acquainted with them, we'll be coming back in the future to check up. These are the projects given to us by Romeus. Sorry to have to tell you guys now. Orders."

"If you make a mistake don't worry about it. It's your first time so... The point of this mission is to see if you can handle it. That and to see if Damien actually did rat out. It just a rumor so we're not that worried about, not like it hasn't happened before. But it's still serious stuff so... don't mess up!"

Imogene spotted Alex with a group of friends. 2 females, 3 males.
One timid girl, a blond with a pixie cut. She seems to like Alex's friend, a dense looking guy, carefree. cute.
Another man, an obvious playboy, rugged good looks.
A red head, pretty, timid's protective friend.
I'll take the timid. " You... come over to the bar, come on don't you feel thirsty." Genie called the girl making sure she was the only one who could hear. These "suggestions" usually are meant for when someone is asleep but desperate times...
The girl excused herself and walked towards the bar.The Bar was jammed packed. " um, excuse me." She said trying to signal the bartender. Didn't work.
Put on the charm... 1...2...3.... Imogene smiled and slid next to her. "His
attention is hard to get, What's your drink?"
The girl looked at me a little surprised "Uh...Orange Whip?" she said uncertainly.
I leaned over the bar. "Hey John!" The bartender, John had a thing for me, it was kind of annoying but useful.
" Hey Jean! the usual?" He said with a smile, every one at the bar glanced toward me.
" yeah, and my friend here would like an orange whip." John glance at the girl and nodded.
" Um, thanks."
"No problem. I was just waiting here for my date but i guess i was stood up." I gave her a sad little smile.
" That's awful." She said with a understanding look.
" It was a blind date, my friend basically forced me...." She gave an understanding nod.
".... I'm Jean, you are?"
" Oh, I'm Casey. Thanks for the help, i'm not good with crowds." Casey blushed a little.
John came back with the drinks.
"Thanks John."
"Anything for you sweetie." John said with a somewhat creepy smile and looked me up and down.
Casey saw it. I blushed a little and I gave her a pleading look.
" Um, Do you wanna join me and a couple of friends."
" Sure."
As we walked toward her table i asked " I hope it's not a bother? Thanks a million. I'm a regular here and John's harmless but he still kind of creeps me out."
"No problem, it's just not your night. Getting stood up then getting hit on by a sleazy guy. I've been there and it's not nice." Casey said, a little bitter
