Tyrus says to Clover "You can bet however you like. Ehrich has supposedly done this trick before and escaped. We haven't seen it with our own eyes but we believe he'll be able to do it."

OOC: Sense motive on Tyrus.

Clover

OOC: Tyrus seems to be telling the truth.

OOC: *groans*

Clover held her hands up, as though in confounded defeat, "Well, gentlemen, I'm not really certain which way to bet! But it's only in fun, right?" She smiled warmly at Horace, "You seem to be a few supporters short of a team, sir. I'll bet along with you that he can't do it. I'm feeling lucky." And with that, she went to stand next to him.

After all, she thought, Horace wasn't the one that threatened me as soon as I walked in the door. She gave Tyrus a little smile from across the room.

Lacey follows suit with Clover, apparently making the same decision.

Horace smiles at Clover "A wise choice. How much will you wager? It looks like the boys over there are going to put in a combined bet of $1,000. Do you ladies have $300 each? I can certainly cover the difference."

OOC: Clover only has $250 according to her sheet. Lacey has $375 on her. She would lend Clover $50.

"All right. You have a deal." Clover groaned inwardly as she conferred with Lacey and carefully counted out their wager. As she handed the amount over to Horace, she began to wonder how she was going to make that money back. It certainly wasn't easy being an unemployed vampire! She mentally willed Ehrich to stay nice and stuck in that damned box, and stood back to watch.

[sblock]Hm... maybe it's time for Clover to get a job so she can support herself and that good-for-nothing crazy priest she rooms wi... Oh, sorry. She meant, so she can provide for herself and Koln ^.^*

So! Good jobs for Clover, being a vampire brainiac with a gift for persuasion:

- Nighttime library clerk (so she can mock people for their poor novel choices, like Twilight)
- eBay lister/seller (because she can do that from home)
- Blogger (with lots of PPC hotlinks)
- Nighttime museum worker (her knack for research and professionalism would probably make this a good match)
- Work in that little French restaurant downstairs (easy commute, and could "convince" people that she always got their orders right)
- etc.

Lacey doesn't look too pleased as she forks over $350 either but says enthusiastically "Well, I trust Clover's judgement. She's a magician too you know. Why, just before she did this trick with my boobs!"

The room goes silent for a moment and Tyrus says "You know, maybe I could get to like these chicks after all."

Horace says "Anyway, let's count up the money and then begin shall we? No further requests right?"

[sblock]

OOC: Jobs are for ghouls! I need to make an updated achievement list but there are tons of things you can do for money. It would be a good incentive for Clover to be active around town. Talk to people, you never know who might need a favor and would be willing to pay you for it. You could also do sidejobs such as tracking down bounties or finding items of value to sell. Keep in mind that I am going to be keeping track loosely of your living expenses so you have to reasonably be able to pay them. Also, let's not forget that a rather wealthy vampire just offered you a rather large sum of money for doing a job for him.

OOC: *consults with Clover* Sorry, Clover just said some very choice words about Alex. I don't think she cares.

OOC: She said bad things about Alex but good things about Lacey's boobs.

Horace and Tyrus count up the wages and when everything checks out they drag Ehrich into the trunk which is then padlocked. Tyrus gives Horace a curtain to place over the trunk which he sets up so that it completely covers the trunk as well as 6 feet above it.

Then everyone sits back and waits. Not a sound can be heard in the room. Less than two minutes pass however when there is a loud bursting sound from inside the curtain and the lid of the trunk flies out and lands on the floor just outside the curtain in front of everyone. Ehrich steps out of the curtain, blood oozing from the hole in his chest which is just starting to close up.

Horace exclaims "How the hell?" and the bikers all applaud. Tyrus lets out a bellowing laugh and holds out a hand to Horace "Pay up buddy!"

Horace grudgingly gives the $1,000 over to Tyrus. Tyrus thanks him and he says "Goodbye ladies! We'll wait for you out front Ehrich, come find us when you've gotten dressed." Ehrich nods and starts cleaning the blood off his chest and putting his clothes back on.

Horace turns to Clover and Lacey "Well, now that that's over with how can I help you?"

 

[izillama]

OOC: Oh, no, not on Clover's watch...

Clover gave Ehrich a scathing, suspicious look while his back was turned. She found that she was grinding her teeth and had to force herself to stop. She heard Horace's question and, in a moment of decision, gave him a polite smile and held up a finger to signal for him to wait a minute.

Slowly, seductively, she walked over to Ehrich. He really wasn't bad looking... especially being shirtless. At least knowing that she had Lacey to watch her back, she stepped right up behind him and draped her arm over his bare shoulder, reaching up on her tip toes to whisper sensuously into his ear, "Hey, Ehrich. That was a pretty neat trick. Maybe one day I can show you a few of my own."

Clover waited for him to turn before catching his gaze, her eyes flashing, "So, how did you do it?"

OOC: Command! And if he's a lower generation than her, hopefully he'll just think she's being flirty and leave it alone.

OOC: He is a lower generation, not by much but still lower.

Ehrich looks over at Clover as he is putting the stake and curtain into his bag. He gives her a smile that says "Oh how Cute" rather than "Oh how sexy". He says with a bit of amusement "A magician never reveals his secrets. Perhaps we will meet again sometime."

He throws his shirt on over his head picks up his bag. "Farewell and goodnight" he says before leaving the room to go out and meet with Tyrus and the bikers.

Clover notices Lacey with her head turned to the wall and her hand over her mouth stifling a laugh.
