Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Urbania has many things going for it. It's one of the largest cities in this part of the Multiverse. It size, along with it's lack of affiliation with/destruction by either superfaction has attracted companies from all around the 'verse to this location. perhaps most importantly, all these companies mean one simple thing: Trade, lots of it, and traders with it. If someone is looking to buy something, this is the place to be. If there's not a shop or a street vendor for it, then at the very least somewhere in town there's a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who can get it for the right price.

    So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Fayt's here. The tiny leader of Black Dragon Shipping is currently making his way out of one of Urbania's several ports, towards the commerical district to do what he does best: search for leads on possible work for his company.

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko has been doing her research. While no one yet has told her of Fayt specifically, it's still easy to simply look into Multiversal news sources and learn what companies are connected to what factions. With Haruko working closely with Heaven or Hell now, and with her being still not entirely trusted, she has decided to approach the problem laterally. Become friends with multiple Union members. Become trusted.

     She has learned that the Black Dragon shipping Company's president, one Fayt Ravus, often goes to seek trade in Urbania. With a bit of asking around, she's managed to learn where he is heading. She drives her vespa along the road, towards the ports. She zooms along, and pulls /right/ into the path of Fayt. She leaves the Vespa's engines running, and smiles at Fayt.

     "HEEEEEEY. I've been trying to find a good guy to buy some trade goods from! Get a contract to buy bulk cleaning supplies from, specificaly! And heard some guy named Fayt is able to help me with that. You him?"

     Haruko has an incredibly cheerful air to her. She leans against the handles of her Vespa, arms crossed, as she looks to the side towards Fayt.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt actually backpeddles a bit as a vespa suddenly pulls into his path. "Huh?" As she speaks his head tilts form side to side for a moment.Before he calmly replies. "A trader named Fayt? Yes, that's me. how can I help you?"

    While he's a trader, Fayt doesn't really look the part. Short, scrawny and pale, he doesn't put forward the image of a big business tycoon like one might expect. Then again, the Multiverse being what it is, there's likely even weirder than Fayt out there. "I think you mentioned something about cleaning supplies?"

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko smiles. Well. She found him. The description fit. Plus, if she got /really/ desperate, she could probably just find some pictures of him online. She turns her Vespa off, and then turns to face Fayt, smiling. She pulls goggles off of her face, setting them against her forehead. She smiles, sitting on the vespa in a really relaxed pose.

     "Yeeeeeep. Need cleaning supplies. You're in charge of a shipping company, so I figure you'd be a good supplier for that, right? Got a job working as a housekeeper to this guy named Nathan, and the place he lives is /pretty/ large. Might also want a good supply chain of food goods, too, if you can set that up as well."

     She leans forward, still smiling. "Buuut hey! If I'm going to do business with you, I really want to /know/ who you are, first. I mean, hey. For you to be a big business guy, and yet looking that scrawny... You must be /pretty/ darn shrewd. And I only do business with people I can trust."

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt Carefully watches Haruko. his head picks up slightly as he hears something. "Nathan? It's not Nathan Hall is it? I actually know him, so that'd make things a lot easier."

    Her next comment however, causes his head to tilt to the side for a moment. "Scra... oh. Well um... I was studying magic before taking up Trade, and I still study when possible since I still help defend my ships. anyway if you are working for the Nathan I think you are, he can vouch for me."

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko of course knows that the two know eachother. They're both Union, after all. But, a wide smile is on her face as she hears this. "OH! So you two know eachother! That should make it a /lot/ easier, huh? Yeaaaah, it's Nathan Hall! Just got hired on last week."

     Magic. That gives Haruko another in, to learn things naturally. A smile, "AAAAH! Magic. Things to manipulate the minds of the competition, or stuff like that? Or what? Heck, I'm still surprised to know that people around here /use/ magic. Not a thing in my world."

     She looks Fayt over a bit, considering, "...But, hey. If I /do/ trust you. You can set up the cleaning supplies for me? Poooossibly a discount even, if you know my boss?"

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt actually frowns for a moment. "Manipulating minds like that is illegal, I work strictly above board. please do not casually mention stuff like that." He actually does sound a touch upset by that, though he's quick to calm down again. "Mostly, I just know a few attack and support spells for defending my ships and helping the Union outside of my usual work as a trader."

    The mention of a discount causes his head to tilt from side to side for a moment. "I can set up the supplies o problem, as for a discount? Since you work for Nathan I'll consider it, yes."

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko ponders a bit. She's still trying to figure out if anyone in the Union might have weaknesses or conflicts she could abuse. The mind manipulation thing... Is that an angle he has experience with? It's hard to tell. But, for now, she'll just push that thought aside. Not enough info yet. She needs more solid stuff to go on.

     "Heeeey, if you were the type who used it? I wouldn't do business with you. Seriously. Bad policy. Because you'd manipulate my mind to make me pay /more/ than I want. So for the better that way!"

     She hops off the Vespa, and walks towards Fayt. Haruko is a bit taller than him. She looks down at him, and holds a hand out.

     "I'd be /glad/ to do business with you, especially if I get a discount. The name is Haruhara Haruko! Can you get the supplies shipped to this one company called... What was it? ...Heaven or Hell! That's where my boss works."

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt carefully takes the offered hand, and shakes it. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Fayt Ravus, though I guess you know that already. Anyway I'm familiar with Heaven or Hell so getting orders shipped out there should be easy. Oh, and here." He reaches into a pouch on his belt, pulling out a business card which he offers to Haruko. "This should have all my xompany's contact info on it."

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko takes the business card looking it over. She slides it into a pocket on her jacket as she finishes reading it. "Nice to meet you. And like I said, I'm a housekeeper. So if you ever need any house keeping? Let me know. I'll be willing to help. For a discount, of course. Plus, hey. I do more than just housekeeping. Help people with their problems, too, whatever they might be. So let me know if you need any help on that front too, alright?"

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    "Um... thanks, I'll keep that in mind, though my home is somewhat remote. Anyway feel free to let Heaven or Hell know I'm handling the cleaning supplies, Since a lot of us are in the Union it can help simplify things if you need more supplies dwon the road." There's a pause before he adds, sounding a bit confused. "What about problems? I don't think I follow."

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko places her hands behind her head, stretching a bit. She looks around a bit, as she seems to be thinking of the right words. "Weeeell. How to put this. Those that need housekeeping the most, usually have problems in their life. Emotional, personal, relationship, any sort of conflict really. And I help with that. For exaaaample...."

     She ponders a bit. She already used this example once, buuuut it'll probably still work.

     "Last family I helped, the dad was a banker who was too focused on work, and the mom was too busy with some political concern. Helped his children find fun in their lives, helped their dad learn what's really important, and helped them come together as a family. Then I set off to help others."

     Yes she did in fact just describe the plot of Mary Poppins.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
Fortunatly, Fayt's not much of a movie-goer, though his tone of voice makes him sound more confused than anything else. "I see... I'll... keep that in mind, right, thanks..." There's an awkward pause, then. "Erm, Anyway, cleaning supplies. I can get that, is there anything else you need right now?"

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     Haruko shrugs a bit, "Well, not much else I need. Unless you can supply food, too. If you can? I'll get a list of ingredients, and plan out meals for the months to come. Sound good?"

     And with that, she hops on the Vespa, getting ready to take off again. At the least, she's establishing more relationships. She /hopes/ that more of these connections will lead to her finding more targets, at least.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    As Haruko gets back on her Vespa, Fayt nods. "Food? No problem, feel free to send a list. I cna get hold of just about anthing, so whatever you need, feel free to let me know. It's what I do." With that said, Unles She had soemthing else, Fayt would watch Haruko speed off before getting back to what he was originally doing.

Haruhara Haruko (792) has posed:
     And with that, Haruko speedsoff, letting Fayt go back to what he was originally doing.
