Who: Alfred and Thera When: December 5th Where: Deus Ex Machina What: After a promise to Atthis to look into her girlfriend's suspicious activity, Alfred may just get in a bit over his head. ( Starts out easy, somethin' simple, somethin' sleazy )
Eyebrows lifted, but it was the only indication that the curvaceous woman had even heard him. She sat, with legs prettily crossed, on a stool behind the register. Her eyes were settled astutely upon outstretched fingers, and her thumb ran over one cuticle in a practiced manner. "Remy!" she called. Her voice- a siren's call. Beautiful and haunting but razor-sharp underneath. "A valued customer desperately needs assistance with soap. Please remove him from the counter; I've matters to attend." Again, another languid brush at her nail.
"I'm not here for soap," Alfred said, leaning on his helmet, smiling at her, not missing the sharpness of her voice underneath the softness of it. Ohhh yeah, he could tell she'd broken a few hearts before. He tried to keep it cool, "I'm guessing you're Thera then since... Remy and Attie are the only ones who work here besides a 'Thera'."
He cleared his throat, sky-blue eyes fixed on her. "I'm here to talk to you about Atthis."
The sudden laughter had a condescending edge. "Sweetheart, you may have heard that I enjoy gossip -and indeed that is true- but the one individual I will not slander is Atthis. So please," her finger twirled in the air and pointed to the door, "do turn and leave before you do yourself harm, Alfred."
Alfred didn't move an inch. "Hey, calm down," he said, holding up a hand in a placating manner. This girl almost looked like she wanted a fight and, if push came to shove, Alfred would be more than willing to give her one. "I'm not here to spread anything, I'm here to talk to you about Atthis. She's a friend of mine and she's been pretty strange lately so I asked her what was up."
His hand rested on the counter, fingers drumming. "She says that her girlfriend has been making some strange phonecalls to a guy called Yao."
