Ask to Join Fables: New Beginnings (RP Thread)

[EmoKitty21]

Ryan-
"Well maybe you should learn to do so. It would save the town from hearing about all of your unfortunate accidents everytime they come in the salon." Ryan had a smirk as he said this. He was really glad to know that he could banter with Lady, as she was good friend, though she did get a little too flirtatious for his taste. Even then she was still someone who he could count on to have a good laugh.

Raven-
Raven started on a bit of sketch with her laptop. She had turned it around so that it resembled a tablet, and pulled out a stylus that went with said laptop. "Ok so here is what I am thinking. We do a couple of things, we can set up a stage area for live entertainment. Grimm should be providing that for us. What I was thinking that we could place it here, so it is in the center of the room, and we can set it up to have screens, that will show previous performances of the act in question. Another thing that we could do is set up a karaoke night, this will bring in other customers who might not want to drink, but want to perform. The way I see it, we need to do a bit of an overhaul of some of the things in here, but make it more modernized. I love the authentic decorations, but we need to showcase them in such a way that brings in the classier crowd. The main thing that we want to do is maximize the customers that our bar appeals to. After hearing my thoughts, what do you think the plans that I have for the bar. I know that we are going a bit further away from what Grim may have wanted at first, but I think this would be good way to revive the bar."

Manti smiled as he took the empty glass and money from Adam and prepared to clean out the glass only for him to come back and ask the Fable about something to do with 'deer?' Manti simply gave a shrug. "Not really; then again, I'm not someone who always looks at the news or plans to spread rumors. Not unless they plan on ruining my bar." He said nonchalantly.

" Yeah, I'm pretty sure mundys are unable to live alongside Fables. You know how bad their 'curiosity' for knowledge and information can get. Most likely, once they find out about us, their government will try to capture every single one of us to experiment and torture on. You know, for 'Science'. Not like the common citizens will ever know about it. " Wolfgang said, shrugging. Admittedly, he did not like mundys, but he could accept them if they just stood out of Fabletown's business.

 

[Kitsune Kiara]

Kit walked around her boutique, hidden in her human form and a fluffy bathrobe. Though she had a big wardrobe back in her condo, she would sometimes pick out clothing from her boutique instead. She slipped a strapless, short black dress off the racks before heading to the changing room. Inside the room was already white high-heels and a diamond bracelet. After slipping on the snug dress, heels, and bracelet, she headed out of the changing room. She hung her bathrobe on the hanger the dress had previously been on and hung it in the back room. After a glance in a mirror, she walked to the front of her boutique and switched the sign to open. Her work ethic wasn't the best, as she had amassed a large amount of money in the many years of her life and was currently living comfortably. Her boutique was more of a mixture of a cover-up job, and an extra closet. She wasn't in a rush to go outside at the moment, as she would step out later that day after she made a schedule she probably wouldn't follow.

~Lady~

She snickered and shook her head as she finished plaiting Ryan's long and luxurious hair and began dotting it with flowers. "Oh, please, it's better than doing this in silence. Gets awkward." She then set the flower crown on top of Ryan's head and fixed the flower crown in his hair. Now that was done, she spun the chair around so that Ryan can get a look at the side of him and gave him a mirror so he can see his braid. "How do you like it?"

~Adam~

Adam returned the shrug and smiled warmly at the bartender. "Well thank you for that. See you around." With that, he left and went outside. He wondered if the cops had anything about accidents, so he walked along and found the way towards the precinct. It wasn't that hard to miss, the place was larger than the other buildings here.

~Bundt~

The bunyip shrugged and nodded. "Yea. Although, I lived alongside a mundy once. It wasn't that bad. The guy was pretty damn curious, but they get like that when they find something that is out of the norm. Although, I'm pretty sure mundies are just as xenophobic, too, and their government is even worse, disguising their hate for other alien life or cryptids by saying they are going to "learn more about them". Not that this would matter so much. Hopefully, this mundy, if it is around here, won't get all uh.... Uppity with the New York Times. Nobody would want that." With Bundt having lived with mundies and had lived to make mundies fear him, he didn't have a bad opinion of individual mundies. It was their society and government he was afraid of, as they controlled the minds of those mundies like how a shephard and their dog herd a flock with their propaganda and ideas. Still, he felt like not all mundies were bad. Those few rotten apples just make them seem horrible creatures.

Grim turned to Michael and Raven, "hey, one of you serve this guy if he needs another drink, I want to go ask Wolfgang about some things" he said before teleporting into the precinct, "Hey Wolfgang can I talk to you for a second, just want to run a couple of things by you" he said.
@DevVoid

Michael reacted appropriately as Raven spoke, when she had finished he thought for a second and then said, "well I think these ideas are great, and don't worry about Grim, he just wants this place to be busy again" he stopped and checked Grim had left, "by the way Raven I wanted to tell you something, Grim might not be overly pleased with me telling you this but did you know that Grim used to have a girlfriend until recently, I'm pretty sure that's why the bar losing business is suddenly getting to him" he said.

" Mundies are just naturally curious, I don't think they can help it. But that also means that they get into things they shouldn't know about, they get in over their heads for the sake of gaining information. And, yeah. I would not want to deal with the mundy news reporters and their magazines. Imagine how much work that would be, just even for the witches alone to create amnestic serums to administer to every single mundy that attempts to report about this. Hell, just having to think about it makes me cringe.. all the different locations I'd have to teleport to. " Wolfgang said, shuddering. All that hard work, all those mundies to take care of, it was scary to think that this was a possibility that may just be inevitable in the near future.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Raven-
Raven just smirked when Michael told her about the girlfrend. "Oh I knew about his girlfriend. There is not much that gets past me in this town. Though I do hope that he does find a way to deal with that loss. I mean come on there has to something that can take his mind off of her."

Ryan-
Ryan looked at his reflection. He loved the way Lady styled his hair. He was always happy with the way she treated his hair, and the flower crown was a nice touch. The way the light made the flowers stand out against his golden hair, he was glad to see that she did not try anything with his hair. "I love it. Thank you." With that he stood up, and started to rumage through his shoulder bag. "Now how much do I owe you for the styling?"

~Bundt~

The dark man shivered as he thought what the consequences would be if a mundy found out about their way of life and sent it to social media, as well as the action that needed to be taken after such an exposure. He really didn't want to think about it. He shook his head and looked at the time. "Well, what do ya know. It's nearly lunch. I'm going to hop over to a cafe or something of the sorts and grab a bite to eat. You coming?" He walked to the door and opened it slightly while he looked at Wolfgang, wondering if he was going to join him.

~Adam & Bundt~

Adam found the precinct and walked inside, but something was amiss. He saw something strange in front of him. Was that a... No... Maybe it was the trick of the light, but he swore he saw a jackalope. No bother, he found a security officer and asked him if there was anyone to talk to regarding driving accidents. The security officer looked Adam up and down and gave him a leery look before gesturing with one finger to give him a second and then left to see Bundt and Wolfgang. The security officer found Wolfgang's office and Bundt heard him. "Oh, come in. What's wrong officer?"

"Uh.... Sir, there is this awfully strange guy asking if for anyone he could talk to regarding driving accidents." Bundt was astounded. He looked at Wolfgang with large eyes filled with surprise. No... Was it really him? He wouldn't be that stupid, right? Unless... This guy didn't know fables existed.

"Shall we, sheriff?" Bundt gestured towards the door a bit hastily this time, allowing the security officer to lead first and Wolfgang right behind him, while Bundt trailed behind.

~Lady~

Now, the price. Unlike other establishments, she allowed people to haggle the price depending on how well they think she did. Of course, she always gave a number for them to work with. Of course, because Ryan was her frequent customer and he always managed to brighten up her day, she gave him quite the discount. "Well, it would be $25 for such a complicated weave, but you brought in your own flowers, your a frequent customer, and you brightened up my day. So, that'd be $10 dollars." She smirked. She was quite generous with her pricings, some thinking that she should stop ripping herself off. But she delighted in seeing people smiling because she gave them discounts over arbitrary reasons. At the end of the day though, it was Ryan's decision to pay the full amount or go with the discounted price.

 

[DevVoid]

Wolfgang looked to Grim as he appeared, then looked back to Bundt. " In a bit, let me solve an issue with Grim here first. Bundt, could you talk to this guy first, I'll come in a bit later. Tell him I'm in a meeting right now. " Wolfgang said, sighing. Of course, it must come to this eventually. Now was the moment where he had to restrain himself heavily from not saying anything to this investigating stranger in order to not spill the beans about Lady's secret. Wolfgang looked back to Grim again. " Now, what is it you wanted? "

 

[Void_Nugget]

Michael chuckled "of course you know, I mean I'm not surprised you heard, when a Fable dates a Mundy people tend to find out, they got on very well, she knew what Grim was but she didn't care and that made Grim happy, did you know however that Grim ended things, he told me that it was due to his immortality he didn't want to have her die and leave him alone so he shut her out" he said glancing at his hands for a second. "Raven the reason I tell you this is, would you be able to talk to him, I want you to convince Grim he made a mistake, I want you to attempt to make him go back to her, it will give him even more if a reason to keep the bar open" he said almost pleading.
@EmoKitty21

Grim turned to Wolfgang, "don't worry this won't take long, I just wanted to inform you that I will be doing renovations at the bar so wanted to give you a heads up in case of any noise complaints and I also wanted to check whether the precinct was ok with me bringing long dead musicians back to life as entertainment in my bar, it was Raven's idea" he said looking at Wolfgang matter of factly.

Ryan-
The blond smiled, as he wondered how she survived with such little pay she brought in. Instead of handing her the money, he pulled out the envelope that he had prepared for her. "Here this is for you. I think you will find the payment inside to your liking. Now if you need me I will be heading to university. I have a class to teach today. Thanks for your help." With that Ryan gave her a hug, and went out of the salan. He really need to get to University to teach his students.

Raven-
Raven sat and listened to the angel on the subject of her friend. She knew that he had a girlfriend, possibly more then what she let on. Though that did not stop the smile from forming on her face. "I can certainly try to Michael. Though I do not know what I can do to convince him, unless I break out the spells for it. Though you know Grim, he would be pissed if I used a spell on him."

 

[Void_Nugget]

Michael:
The angel sighed "I really hope you can convince him, I kind of slipped a hint to her about a mundy who was poking around fable town and she said she was gonna come down and check what the guy was upto, so yeah she is in town" he said looking guilty and rubbing the back of his neck, "wait I have a better idea, maybe talk to her, Grim said he never told Kate why they broke up, so maybe if you tried to explain, you could work with Kate to get her and Grim back together" he said his face lighting up with excitement.
@EmoKitty21

Kaitlyn:
Kaitlyn was reading through some files she had been given when she asked about this Adam guy, seemed both his parents were killed in a car accident that most likely involved a fable, she assumed he had no idea what a fable was and that could put him in danger, she was on her way to meet Lady, she had met her before when she and Grim were dating and she had connected the dots and figured out she was involved so wanted to see if she had seen this Adam recently. She stood outside the salon as a long haired boy exited, she then straightened her shirt and entered, "Hello Lady, it's been a while, I just wanted to ask you something" she said leaning against the counter.

~Lady~

The salon deer lady hugged Ryan back and thanked him for coming by and waved goodbye to him. "I'll see you later." With that, she cleaned her items and swept up the floor from all the past hair and put it in a large dustpan before throwing the contents away. Once all the customers were done, she waved at Kaitlyn and waved for her to enter as she flipped her sign over to "Closed" and retreated to the back to do some billing and eat lunch. And deal with whatever Kaitlyn wanted. "Yes, Kaitlyn, it has been. What is it?" Her eyes were down at her billing papers and inventory binder with her salad next to her, drenched in thousand-island sauce and croutons, a fork sitting on the edge of the plastic container containing her meal.

~Bundt & Adam~

Bundt nodded at Grim and Wolfgang before quickly following the sheriff to see Adam. Finally, they found him, and Bundt looked at Adam warily. The journalist looked at the tall dark man a little warily as well and thought his attire odd.

"Uh, hello. I'm assuming you are not the sheriff, right?" asked the human.

Bundt shook his head and crossed his arms. "I'm the deputy. You may call me Bundt. What do you need?"

"Well, I'm looking for answers. Do you guys have any listings of car accidents, specifically ones dealing with deer?"

Bundt thought for a moment before gesturing for Adam to follow with his finger and guided the mundy passed the security checkpoint and brought him just right outside the door to the archives room. He inputted a few numbers on the keypad and opened the door as Bundt led Adam into the room. He then grabbed a marker and put Wolfgang's symbol on the wall. He heard about Wolfgang telling stories about mundies covering objects with his symbol, which is a simple circle with a big X through the circle. He wasn't so sure if Wolfgang could feel the symbol being created or if it's a summoning thing, but he did that just in case it meant something. He'll wash it off later.

Meanwhile, Adam looked about quite a bit as he found one of those tables you sit at and review data. He took a seat and waited for Bundt to come back. It was only a moment before Bundt began going through the boxes and found one that had all of their vehicular accidents. Bundt then looked all the folders really carefully, making sure Adam couldn't see any of the ones meant for fables. The one he did find was when Lady was taken in for questioning after an accident with some vehicles. Well, there were several, but he was kind of hoping Wolfgang popped up right about now. He looked through the folders as agonizingly slow as possible, but also trying to avoid suspicion. Which was going very well, as Adam was looking at all the walls and the fridge and such.
