[Hey, Boss. Long time no chat. She's missed your distinguished good looks.]

Sure, what d'you have in mind?

etc forever;

[senatorinspace]

[Of course she did. /tosses hair]

The first one's easy.

I need you to look into this Erik Lehnsherr guy. Find out everything you can about who he is.

[sent_farfaraway]

I can handle that. [She assumes that if he wanted something specific, he'd have told her.

Now, does the second job involve a visit to the office?]

So what's the second job?

[senatorinspace]

Something we should probably discuss in person. [In other words, it's too shady to trust it to the net, which could get hackzored]

[sent_farfaraway]

[Get your lap ready, Senator.]

Do you have time now?

[CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:

"Yes, I have time now." - [Ruby shuts off the video feed and heads to his offices. She even lets herself in and moves to take a seat in the nearby chair. She wore her tightest jeans.

"No, but I'll let you know when." - [Ruby agrees to wait for his call. THEN, his call comes and she heads to his offices, lets herself in and takes a seat in the nearby chair. She wore her lowest cut top.

"No, but when has that stopped you." - [You can see where this will go. Either way this rolls, the response will be in his lap court.

WHAT PATH DO YOU CHOOSE SUITED HOT ONE?]

[senatorinspace]

I think I can spare a moment. Come by in twenty.

[sent_farfaraway]

[tick, tick, tick, tick - DING! Twenty minutes later...

Here comes Ruby. She'll make sure no one is in the hall as she walks toward his office. Enter the office. Shut the door to the office and then lean against the door for a moment listening. Then she'll push off with her hands and walk toward Nathan.]

I cloak and daggered. [She'll glance to him with a small smirk of smugness.]

So what's so hush-hush?

[senatorinspace]

[He stands, moving to the other side of his desk, hands in his pockets] Have you heard anything about this Bellatrix LeStrange situation?

[sent_farfaraway]

[Nnngh. The leaning. She eyes him, stopping when she's standing before him.]

Witch. Powerful. Side of crazy and apparently killing people. [Ruby's a witch, but she tends to stay away from the crazy psycho ones.]

I can see where she'd be a problem. [She's just not her problem, yet.]

[senatorinspace]

She killed Claire. [he says it flatly, the anger obvious behind his eyes, and the set of his jaw] It's beyond being a problem.

[sent_farfaraway]

[Ruby stands up a bit straighter. If the tone hadn't given her the hint on the importance of the matter, the fact that it was Claire was all the clue-in that she needed.]

What do you need? [She knew that death wasn't exactly a permanent thing around this place, at least according to the rumors.]

[senatorinspace]

Killing her's not going to do anything, as much as I wish that were the answer.

We need to find a way to hold her, and I'm not sure I trust CSF to know how to do it.

[sent_farfaraway]

You'd probably want to find a way to bind her to something. Either in spirit or in body. If she's as powerful as people claim she is, it won't be an easy thing to pull off.

[senatorinspace]

I'm not asking if it's easy. I'm asking if it's possible.

[sent_farfaraway]

There's a chance it is, but we're dealing with things that might be slightly out of my knowledge base. I could look into it.

[senatorinspace]

I'd make it more than worth your while.
