Saccharin and trust

In this RP, Lorin Argente is standing in for a Moonkeeper gang member named Swan, while Feadra Amariyo is standing in for another gang member named Trouble. They are attempting to gain access to a piece of equipment that Miho's gang possesses.

[15:11]Lorin Argente shook his head, snorting. "I know, right? I don't think they're giving this the proper *consideration*. The proper *weight*, as it were."
[15:12]Feadra Amariyo: " Nothng like standin' around waiting- Oh, someone here, Boss...Bout time."
[15:13]Lorin Argente drew a flask from his belt, uncapped it and drank. "Well, it's about time", he growled, turning to Atori. "You're late."
[15:14]Lorin Argente: "I'd heard these people were *serious*. We're *serious*, aren't we, Trouble?"
[15:15]Lorin Argente slipped the flask back into his belt at the approach of the others. "I was hoping you'd get here before the fucking *sun* rose."
[15:16]Feadra Amariyo: " In the information about them did it mention anything about being late often? Time is pretty limited for us."
[15:16]Miho Okochi looked flustered and had the look of someone who was both distracted and worried about something else. The emotions were wiped from the icy surface with ease and she eyed the two waiting curiously. Her hands folding behind her back, while she kept her distance. "Charming... maybe it was test of your patience and want. It's good to know the tenacity of your...'business associates.' as it were."
[15:17]Lumina Okochi was not in the mood to deal with a fowl-mouthed, impatient person, thankfully she wasn't in charge, else she'd just simply attack after that. But it was Miho's command that she obeyed.
[15:18]Feadra Amariyo adjusted her glasses to cover her eyes more and groaned while cursing under her breath.
[15:19]Lorin Argente rolled his eyes, invisible as the gesture was behind his sunglasses. "A test of our patience and want", he said. "Business. That's what I'm here for. That's why I contacted you. Shall we do *business*, or shall we grouse at one another until the Twelve grow old and die?"
[15:19]Feadra Amariyo nodded in agreement with Mr. Swan.
[15:20]Lumina Okochi: "Oh for the Kami's sake just shut the hells up and tell us what you want."
[15:20]Miho Okochi sighed in irritation. "You're the one grousing and the one with want. So speak now and forever hold thy peace." She jested. Trying not to look at her youngest sister as she spoke those words and then making a mental note. Then she smirked. She loved her sister.
[15:20]Feadra Amariyo: " Don't speak while adults are speaking, Miss."
[15:21]Lumina Okochi: "I'll do what I sodding please."
[15:22]Lorin Argente: "We want the fucking *cosa*", he snapped to Lumina. He looked up at the rising sun, scowling, pressing his sunglasses up on his nose and forcing himself to exhale. He took a step towards Miho, calming himself. "We wish to cut a deal for the use of the cosa of Kugane. We know you have it, and we wish to pay you for the use of it."
[15:23]Leo Soulstar looked at the two with cold eyes. His expression is rather blank, showing no anger, joy or malice. Whatever action they might take, he planned to destroy it.
[15:23]Atori Kaujin expresses her worry with you.
[15:24]Feadra Amariyo: " The grade of professionalism of that of street rat group with a common goal," she said aloud, fixing her sleeves lacey cuff before her ear flicked as the sound of a voice caught her attention. " Hm?" she touched the small button on a communication device since Mr. Swan had everything in order. " The hells you want? Mr. Swan is busy at the moment. Speak."
[15:25]Miho Okochi snickered, "Even if I -do- have it, why in the world would I give it to you to use? It's priceless and I don't know you from dirt." She sounded amused. "Nobody in their right mind would hand over something like that with no collatoral to someone unknown."
[15:25]Lumina Okochi rubbed her face, and grumbled. "Just tell them to piss off, they're asking for something that they probably cannot afford."
[15:28]Lorin Argente: "Pay", he said with exaggerated calm. "Trouble, I *did* tell them I wanted to *pay* for it, didn't I?" He turned back to Miho, running his tongue over a fang. "You're new here. I can tell. Domans arriving in the Shroud with Doman treasure and Doman plans. *We*", he touched his chest, flicking one of the ridiculous tassels on his lapel, "are *established*. You could *use* us. But at the end of the day..." He drew a breath, held it for a minute. "At the end of the day we wish to *pay* for it."
[15:29]Feadra Amariyo ear pinned slightly, even her head seemed to cant to the side as she listened to the person on the other side of the link channel. " Mhm." she tossed in just to show the connection wasn't lost or ignoring them.  " Yes, Sir, you did say you would pay them. That was the -first- think you said, their attention to real details is staggering. Truly, Sir."
[15:29]Atori Kaujin: " payment with what? morbol shit or something of value? ...and if it's something wtih value ... you should state the ammount. " she said softly.
[15:29]Lumina Okochi: "Self absorbed and obnoxious. Lovely."
[15:29]Lumina Okochi claps.
[15:29]Feadra Amariyo: thing**
[15:30]Feadra Amariyo: " Mr. Swan, the the eggs are in the nest and awaiting your word to be used."
[15:30]Miho Okochi shifted her weight with exasperation, "Why does everyone think we came from Doma to here? We were here first, we went to Doma, we came back. We were well established here before we even left for Doma." She sounded pained. "That being said... pay is an excessively vague word. This is worth more than gil. Gil I have. What could you possibly pay me with?"
[15:30]Lorin Argente turned back to the female Moonkeeper, making a sharp gesture with his hand. "Not now, Trouble", he hissed. "Not until we have *access* to the thing..."
[15:31]Feadra Amariyo bowed her head. " Yes, Sir." she turned slightly. " Now you pissed him off more, Wiggles, way to go- Yes! I understand the time..." she fell to rushed, angered whispers.
[15:32]Lorin Argente turned back, looking from one female to the next. "Honestly, I'm not sure *who* I should be speaking to. Who's in charge?"
[15:33]Lumina Okochi: "Trust me if I were in charge, I would of walked away at the moment you opened your mouth."
[15:33]Feadra Amariyo: " Just stack the chests atop the boxes. You know, the things that look like squares and made of wood, Idiot."
[15:34]Lorin Argente snorted, smirking at Lumina. "Okay, so *you're* a pawn. Then is it the woman in white? Or the nasty one in red and black?"
[15:34]Atori Kaujin laughs at you.
[15:34]Miho Okochi rubbed her temples. Asshole. He knew damn well who was in charge regardless of the commentary of her people. Miho waved her hand at the others motioning for them to stand down.  She glanced at Feadra with a smirk. Smart people they have. "Just tell me what you have, before I let my sister lightning bolt you into a black smudge. She's in a rather bad temper today and it would do her a world of good."
[15:36]Feadra Amariyo: " This might be the biggest waste of time..All seein' they said! Pft."
[15:36]Lumina Okochi shot the man a look of utter frustration.  Oh how she would enjoy that.
[15:37]Feadra Amariyo: " If you honestly kill everyone that says boo in your direction I have -no- Idea how you got your so-called reputation to even be -called- anything, much less have two gil to rub together while you think of your 'dream'."
[15:40]Leo Soulstar is far from impressed by their sloppy rudeness. He did not care for them either, as every word they spat out was as much worth as themselves. Garbage.
[15:40]Lorin Argente: (( Dammit, missed my cut and paste. That wasn't the one I wanted to say. One sec ))
[15:40]Lorin Argente made a sour face, turning to his companion. "I think this is a waste of time", he muttered before turning back to Miho. "I have a *backer*, you understand? A *backer* who is very well placed to pay you *whatever* price you name for this thing. So..." He spread his hands, pausing for what he believed was dramatic effect. "...shall we do business? Name your price..."
[15:41]Feadra Amariyo: " Why even set up a meeting with us? Do you like like meeting people to their time-- Boss! I think I found their real talent."
[15:42]Miho Okochi looked confused, "My dream?" She looked skyward for a moment and then at her sister. Dream? Their goals were never so small as that. They had too many pies to lose money and too many people to be noticed. She frowned, "Do you always talk so much? It's very annoying... and distracting. I hate distracting." She pouted a little. The ice princess was getting bored. Never a good thing. "My price...is... you." She smiled softly. "I want you. I want your business. I want your contacts. I want >>
[15:43]Atori Kaujin moved in a little closer to miho and spoke very softly against her horn.
[15:43]Miho Okochi >> everything you have." She paused and looked at the one by his side, "And him."
[15:43]Lumina Okochi: "I don't think there -is- a price for that. But I'm just a sodding pawn."
[15:45]Feadra Amariyo rolled her shoulders. Gods damn it was hot and bright. Ugh! " We should've went with the Corwells." she said under her breath.
[15:46]Leo Soulstar walked after Miho, not liking the idea of having her so close to these morons.
[15:46]Lorin Argente blinked at Miho, then his face was split by a smile. He began to laugh, deeply and heartshakingly. "And people have accused *us* of melodrama", he finally managed to get out. "You know, I think Trouble is right. I think we'll talk to the Corwells, instead. It's been..." He snickered, biting back another laugh. "It's been a pleasure, I'm sure you'll have every success."
[15:47]Feadra Amariyo mouthed 'Ut oh' in the groups directions hearing her boss taking her idea.
[15:50]Feadra Amariyo: " Fear not! Mr. Swan is a very kind person, truly. He will have no issues spreading the word about your group and how you work to his contacts, and then to their contacts. It the least we could do, right, Boss?"
[15:52]Miho Okochi stepped down a couple of steps slowly. She hummed as she moved closer. "Do you have children?" She asked softly. "I love children... so sweet and innocent." She breathed in the fresh air and turned her head to the light. Basking in the little delays that kept them out in the unpleasant sun."I tell you what. I'll give it to you, in exchange for a child. The younger the better, preferably newborn, Miqo'te." She was dead serious and not smiling.
[15:53]Howl'tan Jeka seeming to appear out of no where without much of a trace of how he got there, he appears beside Miho, looking like he just threw stuff together, he tries his best to look, formal, yet now that he was here he figured to take his place in the back.
[15:54]Lorin Argente glanced at Miho, then shook his head again. "Come on, Trouble", he said to his companion. "They're just fucking with us now. They never intended to do business." He turned, leading the other back towards the docks.
[15:55]Feadra Amariyo scuddled behind Mr. Swan. " Yes, Sir! Put the eggs back." she says over the shell channel. " It was a bust."
[15:55]Miho Okochi didn't glance at her Kage who had appeared out of nowhere. She was basically GPS tagged to the Miqo'te so it wasn't a surprise. She held his gaze with a tiny smile and watched as they walked away. "Pity." She murmured. "I could really use that kid." She sighed and glanced back at Howl with a tiny shrug. "Back to stage one? Kidnapping or breeding." She joked lightly. Glancing at her sister who was no doubt still in a foul temper. "Next time you can lightning flash them. I promise." She >>
[15:56]Miho Okochi >> turned and started back toward the house. "I really do need that baby." She grumbled.
