The Fourth Sin - Saturday Morning

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

With Miho gone, Becky actually felt a need to rise before midafternoon.

So when noon rolled around, she was in the lobby, sorting through their accounts and trying to remember all the math she'd learned before dropping out her sophomore year of high school.

[Here for someone in particular who wanted to talk to Becky, but open to all customers/Sin residents/etc. Am on SP until probably about 6 EST, unless my plans change, whee.]

It had been a long and interesting week that had left Willow with a lot of questions she didn't have answers to.

So she decided to turn to someone in a position of authority. After all, a teacher wouldn't steer her wrong, right?

Willow went into the Sin and looked around for someone who could point her in Becky's direction.

A small calico cat ran down the stairs, followed by Jarod and a pair of nail clippers. He stopped short when he saw Willow. M ran over to Willow and began to investigate.

"Hello. Are you in the right place?"

"Hi kitty!" Willow said. She bent down, holding out her hand for the cat to sniff. To Jared she said, "I hope so. Is this where I can find Becky? She's one of the teachers this summer?"

M sniffed her hand, then immediately began to rub up against Willow's ankles, claiming her in the name of small calicos.

Jarod smiled. "Yes, this is where you can generally find Becky, but I don't know if she's around right now. Would you like some iced tea while you wait for her?"

"That would be very kind, thank you," Willow said. She gave M skritches. "So it's okay if I wait? You won't have to worry about me, I know Becky won't be online again for hours brought a book. I'll be very quiet and out of the way, Scout's honor! Not that I was ever a Scout, but I still have honor and I feel it's comparable in spite of the lack of uniforms."

"Yes, it's fine," Jarod looked down sternly at M, who was looking up at him smugly from where she was being skritched, "but don't think you're getting out of getting your nails clipped, young lady."

"You don't have to be quiet, but you might want to stay out of the way--and I bet you've got a lot of honor," he nodded to Willow, heading towards the kitchen.

"Thank you!" Willow said with a smile as she settled down to wait.

He returned with a glass of iced tea. "Do you want me to take her?" He asked, gesturing to the cat. "I don't want her to bother you."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"She's no bother," Willow assured him. "But I don't want to steal her if you were playing."

Becky finally reemerged from where she had been upstairs looking through files. She really needed to just stay away from math, she decided, and was pondering this as she reentered the lobby and paused.

"Hi," she said slowly to the unfamiliar redhead. "Are you lost or something?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Willow said with a wave. "I'm looking for Becky."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"I'm Becky," she replied, looking her over. "Are you...here as a customer?"

Because really, you could never be sure.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Actually, I guess you could say as a student," Willow said. And be afraid because she had a notebook and pen with her.

"You're not in my workshop," Becky noted.

And then paused. "You're not, right? I only have the one girl with the way-too-bright hair in there."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no," Willow said. "But I needed some help and thought I'd come to an expert. I'm Willow."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Becky said, perching on the desk and sighing. "What kind of help? Depending on what it is, I might have to charge or refer you to one of the ladies."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Information? I guess?" Willow said. "Maybe advice? And has anybody ever told you you look a lot like Rory?"

Edmund had heard that there was a mute monochrome girl who worked at The Fourth Sin. He was there to find out if that was true and perhaps hire her services if it was.

Becky had settled behind the desk again after dealing with Willow, and glanced up when Edmund entered. "Can I help you?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I heard from the excrutiatingly ugly owner of the Mauvaise Chance apartments that there was a mute girl who works here?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Miho went home for awhile," she replied. "Want to leave a message or something?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"She's available to hire?" Edmund asked. "She doesn't have a penchant for nicking people's wallets does she?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"That depends on what you want to hire her for. She doesn't do jobs like the other girls here. She's security," Becky told him. "And kinda dating the pirate, I think."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Do you have any girls who don't talk? At all? I don't need to hear 'Ooh, Mr. Blackadder, you and the Tower of London are my two favorite things.'"

"Most of our girls can be persuaded to keep quiet," Becky replied, raising an eyebrow. "These are trained Old Town girls. For the right amount of money, they'll make all your dreams come true."
