Boire dans la nuit

[Cortana Devlowe]

Cortana laughs as he watches Raph make his run through the place now, watching him make his choices of clothing to match a cravat he was going on about. She walks over to watch him and his work as he started piecing his next masterpiece together. "Master is more business with his fashion. At least that's what I think." she runs her fingers over the cashmere, enjoying its feel "hmmm. This is very nice. You must make a lot of money to afford this kind of luxury"  her gaze turns as she hears a voice calling out for Raph, taking in the looks of the young man who seemed to be overly nervous to be a servant.  She then turns to Raph and motions toward the boy "That guy is looking for you, sir" she looks back to Jaks "He seems really nervous to be here"

[Raphael Delemater]

The dandy fop nodded. "Oh, you are quite right. I work for Brightblood, and ill tell you, my kindred ,because of our madness, we know psychology inside and out, it makes it a lucrative career." As he looked at himself in a mirror, sans coat, his willowy frame was on full display. He did indeed look like the elven side of his lineage. Just then young Jaks arrived. He smirked and strode up to him. "Ah yes from the shop! Oh you are too cute, getting so scared. I wont hurt you. Now, let me see what you got."

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks was announced to the vampire by a young girl who couldn't have been much older than him, while this normally would not put him on edge but everything here was hazy. Things were clouded by a haze of bad memories that hung over the place. No doubt that his old master was still alive and there was no counting what might happen if he saw him. He would really hate to go to prison in America. "Sorry, the last time I was here wasn't under the best circumstances. " tapping his metal boot on the ground subconsciously. He realized what he was doing and quickly stopped before unwrapping the weapon and handing it to Raphael. "And scared isn't the right word. I think the better word is nervous. Theoretically if the statue of limitation still exists I can still be arrested and gang pressed back into slavery. I'd rather that not happen again. Anyway,thats Chthonic steel. It makes a weapon as fabulous as its owner."

[Cortana Devlowe]

Cortana walks up behind Raph and looks at Jaks and his jumpy nature. When he mentions having an old master she figured he was an escaped slave, which would explain why he was so jumpy. "You know... not all vampires are bad. I mean, mister Delemater here has bought me this wonderful outfit. It's more than I could ever afford with my allowance" she does a spin to show it off to Jaks "What do you think?" she was eager to see what other people thought of her outfit. "By the way, what is Chthonic steel?"

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael nodded. "Understood." he held his hands out and took the sword, which ..was.. "Tres jolie, tres TRES jolie Jaks. I am glad I commissioned from you. and you say it holds an enchantment well?" right in the store, and because he was crazy Raphael took a traditional stance and held out the sword as if fighting. "It feels nice in my hands. But tell me, do you wish for a ride back home?Cortana is fine by herself, unless you dont mind finishing business here."

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks looked at Cortana as she twirled in her new dress, " I must say that you present quite the sight in that lovely dress. It certainly does look exquisite on you. As for vampires, I know not all of the are bad, my best friend is a vampire for Echo's sake. Its just the fact that I'm an escapee coupled with the fact that not all vampires are nice. " This time her purposefully tapped his prosthetic on the ground to draw attention to it. When she asked about chthonic steel. "Aye, I could tell ya what it is but I can already hear the drow smiths beating down my door for giving away one of their most precious secrets. Although I can tell you a couple properties it has. First off, it never degrades, and secondly it holds an enchantment better than any metal I know, and I know all of them." He then turned to Raphael, "Sir, as much as I appreciate your offer I'm going to have to face my past sooner or later, and I'm the kinda guy who likes the sooner option. Besides, now that I'm here and have some money in my pocket I might as well do some shopping."

[Cortana Devlowe]

Cortana giggles lightly and looks back and forth between the two. The sword was an impressive sight to see with it in Raph's hands. She wondered to herself if she could have such an opportunity to wield weapons like that. But she was not a fighter in the least. She preferred books and history over swords and weapons. AT Raph's mention of her being on her own, she remembered she needed to get her shopping done "Ohh... I need to get going. It was nice to meet your sir, Jaks" she nods to them both "Have a wonderful night, and I hope that you have a safe trip around while you're here" with that she makes her way out the shop with a light bow to them to go and fetch dinner

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael waved to Cortana."It was a pleasure meeting you, Give my best to your master!" he looked back at jaks as he sheathed the gorgeous blade. "You do good work, and it is a shame about the leg. To be truthful, Im usually harmless but if i do become enraged by something i can make messes. Though thats something ive only done when provoked severely. " he explained.Then the rather seriosu talk took a back seat, once again, to fashion. "LET ME DRESS YOU!" he exclaimed. "I dressed Cortana, now let me make you pretty, please?"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks bowed goodbye to the leaving slave, and turned his attention towards Raph who had made the conversation more than just a little serious. "No use worrying about legs lost, see as how it really drove me to what I am today. I've always heard rumors about..." Jaks tried to find the most delicate way to put it " Your eccentrics. Though I have never found myself to be a provoker." He looked around the shop hoping to get off this topic, not wanting to offend the man. Jaks was gracious when he both changed the subject and offered to help him pick out clothes. "I'm looking for something simple and yet effective at drawing the eye. Something causal and yet formal. professional and yet sexy. Think you can help me?"

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael listened as he looked at himself in one of the floor the length mirrors. "Eccentricities well that's can lovely way of putting it! " he Laughed. "but I digress.. I'll help you. I like helping people be dressed decent.. no one anymore appreciates neck accouterments. Anyway!" He spun around to face a worker ring me up , I have work to do." He faced jaks once more. "Are we going with a subtly Victorian look?"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks looked about the shop before referring to Raph. "Not entirely victorian. Too many powered wigs and uncomfortable clothes. I'm thinking neo-victorian since I am basically the embodiment of two worlds of technology and knowledge cooming together, plus I like the style significantly better than most others."

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael clapped his hands together. "Ah, I know what you mean, the steampunk look. A mix of industrial and sophisticated designs. An appealing fusion. Okay,maybe a nice button down dresses shirt, fairly loose so you can roll up the sleeves, a vest looks good on you. or maybe a nice cropped leather bomber. Heehee its like i have a new doll. " he pointed to the items he had suggested. "Dress boy dress!"!

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks looked towards where he had pointed and collected "Ah yes, this is something more my speed, now, no peeking." Jaks made his way to the dressing room to try on the outfit. He had to admit that the way it fit on him made him feel like a million bucks, which was rare for the young inventor because he was used to wearing clothes that were always a smidge to big. He walked out and showed raph "What do you think?" He asked with a faux english accent.

[Raphael Delemater]

Raphael had ot back away form the door as Jaks opened it to avoid gettign bashed i nthe face as of COURSE he peeked. the man was opportunistic if anything. He looked him over, squinting and trying to catch the outfit in different lights. "I like it. Are you iamin to impress anyone? Because that should do it, Monsieur."

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks laughed "Yes I do aim to impress, lovely young woman by the name of frides, hopefully this will do it." he went back to the dressing room to undress before coming out. "Happy to do business with you Mr. Raphael." he said hurring back to his ship and eventually home.
