Frank:"Damn busy in here."

Pockets Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:44 pm

Cynthia: So, we have to find somebody and tell them Ben sent us?

Jabberwocky Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:46 pm

Frank:"Thats right."
Frank looks around trying to spot somebody who works there

A waiter sees the two of them and walks up to them...

Waiter: Welcome! How many this evening?

Jabberwocky Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:31 pm

Frank:"Oh, two...We are friends of Ben Cryos, he sent us."

Cryonix Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:07 am

The waiter nods and leads them to a quiet table, where another server brings them a free bottle of wine...

Waiter: From the manager. "Friends of Ben and Moira are always welcome" he said. Your meal is comped. Enjoy.

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:09 am

Cynthia raises her eyebrows at Frank, impressed.

Cynthia: Who is Ben anyway?

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:12 am

Frank politely nods, thanking the waiter as he and Cythia sit

Frank:"Ben is...heh to be honest I've never been really sure. An investor...I think. I know he's got money, and a heart. Which apparently is a rare combination."

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:29 am

Cynthia smirks.

Cynthia: It is. Very rare indeed.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:33 am

Frank:"Good guy. Never really got to know him to well but..I've known Moira for oh...at least thirty years."

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:47 am

Cynthia: A long time... how did you two meet?

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:50 am

Frank:"She used to be married to a friend and former business partner of mine..."

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:51 am

Cynthia blinks.

Cynthia: Oh....

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 12:54 am

Frank:"...Long story...
So...whats good?"

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:10 am

Cynthia: I am personally rather fond of... ironically, considering the name of the restaurant... the ceviches.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:13 am

Frank:"Hmm, well I'll give them a shot...So, what do you know about this umm skull and bones?"

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:19 am

Cynthia: Not much... exclusively male... and very well connected. There have been Presidents who are a part of it.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:20 am

Frank:"Okay so a bunch of rich white guys alone in a room, whipping it out and trying to impress each other."

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:25 am

Cynthia: Rich, white, powerful guys. They "whip it out" so to speak, then turn around and have enough pull to make it look like the most amazing thing... enough pull to make people turn a blind eye to whatever underhanded thing they might do. You do not want to be on their bad side.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:31 am

Frank:"You're worried I may have made an enemy, or several, today?"

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:33 am

Cynthia: I am. I suppose I have likely made a few myself. They had been holding out hope that I would come back into the fold.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:34 am

Frank:"What part do you play in this equation anyways?"

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:37 am

Cynthia: I honestly don't know. I suppose it has something to do with both father and Sexton being a part of Skull and Bones.

Jabberwocky Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:43 am

Frank:"Hmm...Sexton did seem to be threatening Charles...Your father did seem concerned about saving his own skin."

Pockets Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:45 am

Cynthia: I really did not like the sound of that, but I'm sick and tired of being nothing more than a pawn in one of their silly little games.
