Rendezvous (After the Godstorm)

[weapons_mistress]

"It's good to see you made it through the storm, Ms. Burton. We were concerned you wouldn't make it back."

"Thank you for the concern, Wallace. It's been pure bedlam out there," Millicent spoke to the hotel receptionist. Ingrid Burton was the alias Millicent was using while in the States. "Has my roommate checked in?"

"She has, Ms. Burton> Should I let her know you've arrived?"

"Thank you, but no. She knows I'm on the way."

The receptionist nods and hands her her copy of the key to the apartment that she shared with Adrienne. She promptly took the elevator up to the top floor, making her way over to their suite. She gave aknock on the door.

"Louisa? It's Ingrid." She called Adrienne by her assumed name.

"Look at us, we're workin' for people who get half our cut or more." Alisa pointed out. "Plus some of us are ordered to kill, when we don' like or wanna. I suggest we start our own group. Take our own contracts, an' get our own cut."

Alisa placed down her wine glass with a sigh.

"I would rather pay whatever money I got left to be done wit' de Reavers, an' work wit' like minded folks, you know?"

"That's..an interesting proposal, though a potentially risky one. Aside from a good first impression, we don't really know you, nor you us. And what if the Reavers decide NOT to let you off your contract. That would potentially put all three of us at risk." Millicent sighed. "I do not mean to sound cold, but these things have to be taken into account. Adri and I are good, though I'm not sure what are odds would be against a team of psychotic cyborgs."

"The Reavers have nearly killed the Wolverine many times," Adrienne said. "Milicent and I are skilled... but even I do not think we are that skilled."

"Dey are dangerous, oui. But I am nearly done payin' back what I owe for my release from prison." Alisa closed her eyes for a moment. She appeared to be thinking. "Perhaps we should wait until I am completely free and clear before dis venture, after-all. But in de meantime..."

She could not help but smirk, looking over at Milicent.

"So, what would you like to eat, dear?"

Re: Georgiana's

Millicent fought back a gulp, trying to look nonplussed at the sudden, flirtatious attention.

"Yes, that would be best." She took a sip of water. "Perhaps chicken?"

Adrienne bit her tongue to keep from laughing and hid her grin behind her hand.

She hadn't seen Millicent this flummoxed in years.

"Well, dere is dis wonderful chicken piccata wit' pasta dey make here." Alisa continued to smile. "I whole-heartily recommend it. Maybe a nice white wine to go with it, as well."

Re: Georgiana's

[weapons_mistress]

"Brilliant," she agreed regarding the chicken. "though should we really be drinking?"

Re: Georgiana's

[ze_leaper]

"I do not suppose a little drink would hurt," Adrienne said.

Re: Georgiana's

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Wonderful. I will order just a glass of white wine for you each, then." Alisa singled for the waiter to come over to the table. Once there, he would take their orders, and promptly depart.

"So, are you both like moi? Raised into dis business in some branch, den ended up here?"

"Father is something of a name in the profession. Continuing the legacy was an ambition early on," she admitted.

Re: Georgiana's

[ze_leaper]

"Likewise," Adrienne said. A small grin. "Though my father was more of a name than hers."
