Lana has to pay up when Red Vancer, leader of the gang controlling her level and others, shows up unexpectedly. (15:23:17 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to ALL: -Lana didn’t spend her days restricted to the Peach Trees and thanks to her upbringing and her looks she had an ability to shape shift and change. Not literally mind you but she could pass for someone or something she wasn’t and in the right dress and the right amount of attitude she could manoeuvre through polite society, what little of it was left in Mega, without raising too many alarms. So it was by this craftiness of hers that Lana managed to come away from her last job with a few shiny new baubles lifted from the penthouse of a high profile big wig in the city. Having masqueraded as a maid during a dinner party she had gained access to a number of restricted areas within the pad before disappearing out of sight and back to the Trees. Upon her return however, Lana, after disembarking from the lift that brought her to her home level, would note that the door to her apartment was open. The hall itself was quiet and looking around to the different doors she found them barred giving the level an eerie kind of atmosphere. With a knife and a handgun always handy on her person Lana would duck into the apartment calling out, “Hello?” Which is when she’d see the first guy and then the second…body guards who she recognized as employees belonging to a high profile figure in the Trees which meant this was a social call. Or sorts.- (15:34:52 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : Social calls were never just social calls. When Lana saw the Bodyguards that had accompanied me she'd have seen me not long after she ducked deeper into her apartment. There was a couch that I was sitting on, a Shotgun propped beside me, and with an exclamation I would have called out..."You're late Lana. It's past the first of the month. I want my money."...I didn't like to venture out into Peach Tree's to make collections but I did it on occasion. Lana was a special case after all, she was attractive unlike many of the other ragged lot that filled this level and many of the others in Peach Tree's that I controlled. She also wasn't an addict as far as I knew which made her stock rise. Motioning to the Bodyguards I'd have had one pat her down and remove her weapons, I didn't want her armed while we talked that would take away any ideas of doing something silly, knowing that she, like almost everyone else must have had something on her. Looking at her while I sat on the couch I'd have shrugged my shoulders before going on..."Don't be shy. Come and sit down."...I welcomed her closer with a smile..."We can talk about what else you owe me now that you're late."...there were always additional fee's, it helped to ensure people were prompt, and they rarely involved more money that would be to easy.

Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to · Executioner's Song · J: -If she was pleased, put off or scared when she saw you there on her couch and with a shot gun beside you Lana didn’t let on. Her expression was one of calm acceptance as your presence here was a reality for anyone living on this level and the others you controlled through your gang. It was only when one of your men moved to pat her down that Lana became bothered and allowed her irritation to show as the meaty hands lingered and strayed, prompting a reaction from the woman who turned and struck the bodyguard with a mean groin kick immediately afterward that came too fast to dodge or duck. Before things could escalate however she moved out of retaliation range and looking to you she seemed to be answering the summons to come sit by you. At the last moment however she strolled off to a nearby table where lighting up a cigarette she’d snag a bottle and return to state.- “I am not late so much as you’re impatient Jared.”-They had this conversation before and it seemed no matter how many times it was had you continued to forget. She knew why but she wasn’t going to acknowledge it.- “Drink?”-The bottle was of a colourless liquid offered only to you as the bodyguards now backing away and giving you your space, with one holding his groin and developing a keen interest in seeing Lana fucked up, were ignored. She wouldn’t be wasting good liquor on lessers and her gesture was one of respect and acknowledging that you were the boss.- (16:00:01 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : Everybody likes to touch. Rolling my eyes once I'd have allowed Lana to handle the Bodyguard who had let his hands stray a little to much while I continued to sit back on the couch and enjoy myself. Why if this continued for to long it might even be more entertaining than some of those illegal game shows they show now and then. Lana always was a tease. Walking by when it looked like she might accept my invitation but when she came back with a bottle of colorless liquid I was mildly sated. "Impatient."...I snorted as I resaid the word..."If I was really impatient I'd have you take to the 98th and dropped all the way to the bottom."...there was an idle wave of the hand before I reached out and took the bottle that she offered to me. Lifting the bottle to my mouth I'd have tipped my head to smell the liquid before raising it a tad more and tipping it backwards so that I could take a drink..."Good."...I managed to grunt out as it burned down my throat before I handed it back to her. Glancing towards the Guards I'd have told them..."Wait outside while Lana and I have a word."...before watching them disappear, leaving us alone, though the apartment door would remain open so that they had easy access if it was ever required. Now that we had a bit of privacy I'd have reached out to touch Lana on the side of the face once..."You know I'm good to you. Don't pretend I won't get what I want one day."...then, quite suddenly, the touch touch of my hand would turn to a stiff smack brushed across the face of Lana while I sat back comfortably..."Can't let you lay hands on my men. It'd look bad."...and maybe I just wanted to hit her. (16:22:17 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to · Executioner's Song · J: -Again Lana disguised and controlled her responses when you idly threatened her since this was Peach Trees, everyone was threatened either from within or the outside world. It made little difference. She was a callous sort but that wasn’t to say she’d enjoy being handled by you, she had her pride after all. When you moved to take the bottle from her hand Lana would observe your reactions while lifting the cigarette to take another drag. Lifting her chin when you loomed closer though it was clear she didn’t want to be touched and maybe she sensed what was coming which is why you gained little reaction from her after landing that smack to her face. It was relatively light and small compared to what you were capable of but as you sat back down she’d be seen tensing her jaw before lifting the cigarette to her thin lips. With her other hand she gently brushed the errant strands of ebony hair that had fallen over her eyes after your act.- “Maybe if you kept them on a shorter leash I wouldn’t need to put my hands on them ‘Red’…”-Reaching to take the bottle back afterward she went on.- “And they’ll get more than my hands on them the next time they pull that shit. Or do you like when your lessers get ideas in their heads and over reach?”-Before you could react perhaps with an unfavourable word or gesture again Lana would be seen reaching into her back pocket to produce a gold chain, one of many she had lifted from her latest job. Holding it on a reedy finger with the cigarette still smouldering in her hand and trailing smoke in the air she’d wait for you to take it. It was worth more than a few Creds and would square them, in her estimation.- (16:35:45 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : When I heard Lana tell me I should keep my men on a shorter leash I'd have snorted before offering my retort..."They are on a short leash. None of them come after you and you know if I let them they would."...Lana would be stupid to think that she wasn't protected here seeing as how an attractive woman rarely went unmolested in Peach Trees for long. As a matter of fact Lana was one of the few that got to pay with currency instead of her body on the floors that I controlled and it was primarily to do with the fact that besides being a pretty face she was also a good earner. She might like me but I considered our relationship to be amiable. As Lana produced the gold chain from her pocket I would reach out and take it, weighing it in my hand, while admiring the high quality..."That's nice. I can make this work for now."...I'd have to fence it to a contact for credits but that was easily done..."Next time I want something different though. No chains or jewelry. The Judges are starting to pay closer attention to the traffic of stolen goods."...and I knew a lot about the Judges seeing as how I was supposed to be one, literally born to be one, though by quirk of fate I'd failed my final assessment and was cast out. Irony never ceases to amaze. Putting the gold chain into one of my pockets it disappeared from sight and was forgotten for now. "Have you noticed anything interesting on the lower levels?"...technically Lana didn't work for me but she was under my authority and I knew she was a close observer..."Tell me something good and maybe I'll give you a discount next time around."...my hand had snaked out to press against her thigh then too, like many citizens of Mega City One I wasn't shy. (16:56:27 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to · Executioner's Song · J: -Pulling her hand away after the necklace was accepted she’d soon feel your hand creeping up her thigh while you explained she might receive a discount if she provided you with some information. Knowledge was power and even in this dust bin of a city that much still rang true. Although she did not relish your attentions Lana knew better than to refuse you and most times if one was too twitchy and defensive it only encouraged types like you to keep going, to press past the boundary of comfort in order to savour the sense of power such occasions provided. Raised by the Peach Trees and the multitude of misery and danger within she had long ago learned when and where to resist, and now was not the moment.- “Something good? There isn’t much that goes on here that is any good, Red.”-And her thoughts flickering to the meathead stranger she had met in the bar she cracked a rare smile to add.- “Other than Trixie was working your turf again. It didn’t look like the barkeep cared either.”-The guy managing your bar would have been working for you but Trixie, who belonged to a rival small time gang that barely controlled a level in the Trees, had likely been giving him a small kick back to let her in. Everyone around here was greedy and soon as your back was turned there was always some low level no body trying to make a fast buck believing it harmless and part of what was due to them. As she relayed this bit of information though Lana also thought back to the meathead stranger who she had saved from the dick wielding prostitute, and tapping the ash from her cigarette directly onto your hand snaking up her thigh she’d include.- “There’s also some new guy hanging around. He’s not from these parts but he’s big…maybe looking for some kind of muscle gig.” (17:06:59 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : It was true that playing hard to get only caused me to come onto women a little harder which is why Lana played it smart when she let me brush my hand over her thigh slowly, drinking her in, as it crept higher. News of Trixie working a bar in my turf caused me to hesitate before I smirked..."That dick toting whore is still at it eh?"...well I would give Trixie points for trying though the news that my man hadn't seemed to care was cause for some concern. Luckily in Peach Tree's there was always someone looking to move up which caused me to state..."Well that is decent news."...there was a momentary pause and I called one of my Bodyguards back into the room before saying..."Get the word out. We need someone new to run the bar. Oh and cut Trixie's dick off. Lets make her honest."...that was no joke either; Trixie was going to get her dick chopped off when my boys got a hold of her and if she lived through that I might even let her work a few nights of the week. Turning back to look at Lana as she tapped her cigarette out on my hand I'd have slid it back with a bit of a frown though it remained on her thigh, just further away from going between them now, before stating..."New guy huh? Get his name?"...I waited before continuing..."Find out more about him. I don't trust new faces. If he's legit then come back and see me Lana."...this wasn't something she usually did for me but I wanted her to do it now. (17:23:08 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to · Executioner's Song · J: -Hearing that Trixie was about to undergo an unwanted surgery didn’t elicit much in the way of guilt or sympathy on Lana’s part. Not to say the thief disliked Trixie for any reason other than she was obnoxious and a bit of a slow learner as she constantly tempted fate it seemed, and the hand of people much more powerful and important than herself. She wouldn’t dwell on it any further though and as you went on to inform Lana she was to get a name and find out more about the new face she frowned a little and stepped away, removing herself from your pawing clutches briefly where she helped herself to more of the bottle’s contents.- “Well if that’s the case then Red I may need Trixie and her dick. You see, the new guy, well…he seemed really into her.”-A complete and utter lie (bwahaha).- “If I had her in my corner I might be able to work him over properly. In fact why don’t you just give Trixie the job as compensation for turf jumpin’? She gets the goods and she gets to keep HER goods?” (17:35:26 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : Lana needed Trixie? Well this was something new. As far as I knew their relationship was fairly cold on the best of days. Watching as she drew back and stood only to take a drink of the liquor though I'd have listened to her talking about this new guy and how he seemed interested in Trixie and her dick. Eyes widened just a tad and I'd tilt my head back before shrugging my shoulders..."Fine."...then I'd add..."Work him over, properly. If this guy likes to give Trixie the reach around while he fucks her up the star I want to know though. I don't need a guy like that in my organization no matter how big he is."...people had the right to do whatever they wanted but I didn't want those types mingling with the rest of my men. Lord knows what the gang would become if I just let it happen. The Bodyguards would still be waiting outside so I'd tell them to make some phone calls when I left ensuring that Trixie was safe. With any luck they'd get a hold of my men before they cut off the working girls wiggly bits. Around now I'd straighten and stand tall again before reaching out to brush my head against Lana's arm..."Always a pleasure to see you Lana. You've got a week and then I want to know more about this new guy."...I'd have scooped up my Shotgun, remembering not to leave it behind, before looking back at her then..."You can tell me over dinner. At my place."...rare invitations like that weren't something people could jsut turn down either..."Unless you have other plans?" (17:45:31 ) . L a n a | D i e t r i c h . Peach Trees Resident Room Admin | MC-1 | Imagine Chat - [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to · Executioner's Song · J: -Just when she thought she was in the clear you had to go and sour the small victory of having saved Trixie’s working bits with that dinner invitation. Lana was indeed rather cool toward Trixie mostly because she was a liar who liked to trick men (hence the name), setting them up to get robbed or worse by her pimp, but that didn’t mean Lana wouldn’t manoeuvre a bit to get the bitch into her debt. She would hang this over the whore, the knowledge that it was Lana who saved her precious junk from the likes of you.- “I always have other plans Red. But you don’t seem to care.”-That was as close to a ‘yes’ you were going to get as Lana didn’t bother with feigned niceties and other bullshit but you were the boss and she recognized it. For the moment anyways.- (17:54:08 ) · Executioner's Song · Jared · Vancer Peach Trees|Criminal MC1:IC [ Peach Trees : Apartment ] -Within a private residence somewhere in the Mega Block...- says to . L a n a | D i e t r i : It was as close to a yes as I needed which meant I would smile towards Lana and nod my head once..."Glad you see it my way. Don't make me send some of the boys to remind you."...if I had to Lana would find her way to my apartment with a few extra bruises no doubt though I'd still enjoy the company. When the conversation ended I toted my shotgun across my chest, butt against my shoulder and barrel angled down over my hip, before turning and walking out to leave Lana alone with her thoughts. The Door closed behind me. Out in the hallway I'd have made the phonecall that saved Trixie right when a group of my boys had her in their sights but the Bartender wouldn't have been so lucky. Brought to me I made a statement by blowing out the mans knees and making him crawl out of my territory; he never made it much further than that before the other gangs ripped him apart. |
