House of Illusions, afternoon

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

Gob was starting to like this place. There was some craziness going on, nobody stopped by his booth except for that cute girl who he hired so he didn't have to do any actual work, and there were some... nice businesses in this town.

Maybe this move wasn't such a mistake after all.

The House of Illusions was open. There were some dock workers setting up a stage behind Gob, making it very hard for him to sleep in the booth.

Lorne stomps into the house of illusions gabbing on his cellphone. "Tino! I don't want excuses! I want results! Get those grapes peeled or there'll be hell to pay mister."

He snaps the cellphone shut and rolls his red eyes. "Good help is soooo hard to find these days. Now where's the the local magician?"

Gob woke up. "Wha? Oh, I'm no mere magician, my friend. I'm a Master of Illusion. GOB Bluth."

Lorne's look finally dawned on Gob. Gob looked somewhat confused.

"Master of illusions, eh? Perfection. Listen Gob-erino... I'm a new business owner over at Caritas and the place is just dying for a new act. You do magic? I sing magical tunes that delight the soul. You cast iullusions, I cast an illustrious tune that bewitches the soul. The only thing I'm missing? An opening act. So what say next Friday, you open the show and I'll cover your tab at the bar."

"Your offer intrigues me, friend. I've heard good things about your place." Gob hadn't heard anything about Caritas. He doesn't get out enough. "You've got yourself a deal." Gob smiled and held his hand out to shake.

Lorne grasps Gob's hand with both of his hands. "Wonderful! Pleasure doing busines with you pumpkin. Feel free to drop by anytime and enjoy the neverending show that is Caritas. Most move on because I'm too damn good looking to stay in one place for long!"

Lorne pulls out his cell pone and is immediately heading out the door "Tino! I booked us an act for next Friday. I need a banner and for you to increase the booze inventory. It's a magic act and you know magicians."

Gob wasn't sure exactly what was going on, but he had agreed to perform magic for a guy who looked like some kind of demon.

"I think I've made a terrible mistake," he said after Lorne had left.
