Tell Me What You Really Think

Paul
That deal for the Cannery that you put me in contact with, was definitely prosperous for me.
The commission alone was enough to cover my bills for a while.
I have to thank you *Mark* … And I don’t want to seem too greedy …
But, are there any more leads you have … And who was the buyer on the Cannery deal?
I am all in the mix with Gloria’s ambitions to hinder the progression of Vampires in Bridgeport …
But if there is more money to be made, I will put that on hold.

*Mark*:
Well Paul, I wouldn’t be getting too excited about that just yet.
The contractor I put you into contact with on that deal, does a lot of government work.
Lord knows what they want to do with the Cannery property …
Maybe a small shipyard, Coast Guard Post, or whatever.
For all we know, Homeland Security could want it to build a Detention Center.
That’s the government for you, and I am glad you made out well in the deal.
They got more money than God, and spend it like a crack .
Don’t you know I wish I could just print some more cash, when my checkbook gets thin.

Paul:
In any case … I am glad things worked out across the board on that deal.
We killed two birds with one stone … And I made a small fortune in the process.
I’m sure that Elvira is chewing her fingernails off losing that opportunity.
Gloria is tickled to death about that … And it is just giving her more steam.
She hasn’t worked things out with that Representative from the Distinguished Order of Mages yet …
But that’s not slowing her down either.
She and few other ladies in the community, bogged down another property
deal some of those Vamps were working on.
She keeps this up, and I am going to have to buy her a cape or something.
Gloria is committed, and may as well be her own little army at the moment.
Let’s go throw some lunch together for the ladies.

Paul:
Hey, thanks for bringing the salmon, and you caught some beauties.
I added a bit of my secret seasoning, but fresh fish always beats that junk you get at the store.
What are you making over there anyway …
I never knew you had skills behind the bar.

*Mark*:
Paul … The wrestling scholarship may have paid my tuition in college,
but my spending money came from slinging drinks.
I also took a few months after school to do a little traveling … See the world.
I learned how to make this drink while backpacking in Singapore.
Y’all are going to want to be careful with it …
It’ll knock your pants off … Hahaha!

Gloria:
I am so glad you and *Mark* seem to get along.
You both did an excellent job on lunch, and this drink is something else.
*Shelly* and *Mark* seem like such a nice couple, and I’m glad you introduced us.
She is fun, and always interested in listening to my rants about the Vampires.
With a little work, I think I can get her to join my cause.
With little support coming from Angel, it will be nice having more numbers on the ground here.

*Shelly*:
Did I hear you and Paul talking about that lady Angel from the Order?
Come on, tell me about her.
She has to be interesting … And I want to meet her at some time.
I have always been kind of fascinated by the idea that magic users could manipulate
the powers all around us, that none of us can seem to access.
The opportunity to talk to her …
Well, I just don’t know what I would do, and I hope I wouldn’t embarrass you.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51495864916_b33d82cf28_k.jpg
Paul:
I wouldn’t get too excited about Gloria’s contact in Angel.
She really hasn’t impressed me much at all, as of yet.
She is supposed to be some high-up leader in the Order,
but cannot seem to get much done.
Don’t worry *Shelly* … You wouldn’t embarrass me any.
You have more going on than she does in my opinion.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51495072292_b2610d1622_k.jpg
Gloria:
Ugh, *Mark* … You just don’t know how frustrating this whole ordeal is.
I have to thank you for sending that deal Paul’s way,
but we are still losing ground to those vile creatures.
As Paul mentioned, Angel with the Order has not helped much, and I don’t know if I should trust her.
It’s possible it could have been a bad idea approaching her in the first place …
I don’t know what else I can do.

*Mark*:
Oh Gloria … Don’t be so hard on yourself, or this Angel.
In some cases, these things just take a little time.
I know you are eager to act, but there are big stakes in all of this.
Having the support of another Occult faction can only help your cause.
Like *Shelly*, I am eager to meet this contact of yours when the opportunity comes around.
Keep in mind that we are breaking new ground in the spirit of cooperation with them.
If you get too frustrated, talk to *Shelly*, and we will help you out.
It’s important that we stay on track, and gain support wherever possible.
Gloria:
Well, for the time being, I have a better idea.
The Diner across town has some excellent key lime pie.
I am more than a bit tipsy, and good sugar high, would top things off well.
Let’s all change and head over there for a bite.

Marcy:
You know, you’re actually not a bad dancer.
You also did a good number boosting Gloria’s mood.
Great job staying on mission.
If you keep all this up, I might just have to rethink the idea of giving you a hard time.
It’s great having someone with your experience on the team.

Doug:
You don’t need to sell it so hard boss …
These two clowns are gravy as far as field operations are concerned.
If we can manage to keep them in the mix, and Gloria from losing her nerve …
We have nothing to worry about.
I have to admit that you were a bit distracting today.
Luckily, this operation could near run itself.

Gloria:
You listen to me Elvira …
I came here to have some pie with my husband and friends,
but that doesn’t mean I won’t take the opportunity to speak my mind with you.
I don’t know why you haven’t gotten the message yet.
We are going to do everything within our power to see that you and your kind,
understand that you are not welcome in this community.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51495873641_a2e5143b4a_k.jpg
Elvira:
Oh please, you meddling do-gooder …
Shut up with your incessant whining.
Your husband managed to tank my bid on the property at the docks ...
And that set me back considerably.
Not only did it damage my ambitions in town, but had a negative affect with my personnel as well.
You have no idea the trouble you are trying to start with me.
Furthermore, your pathetic squeaky voice, accomplishes little more than give me a splitting headache.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51496586779_df53df3230_k.jpg
Gloria:
You think it is my voice you need to worry about …
Well, let me make something clear to you.
You are not welcome here, and I’ll give you that message any way that I can.
You need to take your kind, and get out of our town.
To Be Continued …
