 Scene:

You sent May 12 at 6:59 PM

(It had been raining for a week or more. New Orleans had definitely been wet. It have been no different from where Andraya and Dawn were, just arriving at New Orleans International Airport. They didn't know it yet but they were both coming for the same elusive guy Adrin Dunsrin. The airport was very, very crowded and loud as the people passed them by. Andraya might be a little more confused than Dawn but they both were. They don't know each other but are arriving pretty closely at the airport.)

You sent May 12 at 7:05 PM

:: Adrin Dunsrin was an upkept guy, very clean and neat only his beard and mustache were some rough looking. He had a dirty red hair and was arriving from Scotland where was his home and where his thick accent came from. He had on a white shirt, black suit with a tan trench coat on. Patent leather shiny black shoes. He was an obvious business man.

No.   But ....

Janet sent May 12 at 7:12 PM

He looks interesting


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:12 PM

He does.   :::turns to look at him::::

You sent May 12 at 7:13 PM

::Adrin raises a cocked eyebrow at the ladies, especially the 16 year old Dawn. :: Cousin Dawn?

::looks curiously at her::


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:16 PM

Oh. Cousin.  Hi. :::she grinned to him::: how’s your trip?

You sent May 12 at 7:20 PM

And, who is it here that I have the pleasure of her company? Andraya, perhaps? :: He smiled. :: Yes my friend said that you would meet me here as well. Oh my trip was fine. A bit on the long side. I trust that you ladies haven't been waiting long? The plane was a little late due to in climate weather.


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:22 PM

We both just arrived here a few minutes ago.  ::::looks to Andraya:::


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:24 PM

Hello

Janet sent May 12 at 7:24 PM

I am glad you made it here safely

Janet sent May 12 at 7:24 PM

I am hoping you can tell us some new information

Janet sent May 12 at 7:24 PM

Things have felt odd here lately

You sent May 12 at 7:27 PM

:: Adrin eyed the two briefly. He knew that Dawn knew of his true because she herself was Fianna Kinfolk but did the ghoul? Time would tell but that wasn't something that he had a lot of. He extended his hand to her. :: Well met I'm sure. So, Rick tells me that you are interested in employment from my company, Andraya? And you also, cousin? I know you're young but your intelligence will get you far in the running of things. :: He smiled. ::

You sent May 12 at 7:28 PM

:: looking to Andraya :: Odd? How so?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

Yes.  I have some experience with computers and finance.

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

Odd.   How can I explain it.  Just .... a feeling in the air.   Like something is Just.   Not.     Right.

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

Hard to explain.

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

::shrugs::

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

The city feels......uneasy.    Like strange forces are at play.

You sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

:: He nodded. :: I think that I know what you mean. I'm not all clued in on that myself. :: He was but he wasn't saying it right now. He smiled.:: If you get more of these feelings please do tell me.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:32 PM

I will.   ::nods::;


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:33 PM

Where we will go to places? I have tons of experience::::looks to both of them, she puts her newspaper in her bag::::

You sent May 12 at 7:35 PM

This city has much to tell. That's for sure. :: He hailed a cab for them. :: So, what all are you skilled at, both of you? It's imperative that I set up my business quickly and get the reports back out to Dunsrin International in Scotland as soon as possible. Time is indeed money.

You sent May 12 at 7:35 PM

What are you referring to, Dawn?


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:37 PM

I’m very good with research and have excellent tech experience


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:44 PM

::nods:   I have some tech knowledge also

Janet sent May 12 at 7:44 PM

What do you need investigated, Sir?

You sent May 12 at 7:44 PM

:: The cab arrives and he held the door for both of them. Luckily it was spacious and all 3 could fit into the back seat. He nodded to them both. :: That's excellent. I'll be needing lots of tech experience. How flexible are your hours as in availability?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:44 PM

Any time is good


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:45 PM

I am always available.  :::she moves to step inside the cab.  Enough room.  She muses. She moves to sit by the window::::


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:46 PM

My schedule is fairly open

Janet sent May 12 at 7:46 PM

My previous job was consulting on a project that closed.    I was junior, and just extra help, so when the job was done, I was done.

You sent May 12 at 7:47 PM

:: As they traveled he tried to address as many concerns as possible. :: I would know a lot of things actually. You will have your assignments shortly but first I need quick setup in Networks and shipping.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:47 PM

::nods::

You sent May 12 at 7:49 PM

It's not an easy ride any day dealing with Dunsrin International. I do warn you ladies of that. We're a tough company that deals in high standards in unusual ways, so to say. Ye kin?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:49 PM

I understand


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:50 PM

::::nods::: I understand.

You sent May 12 at 7:53 PM

Good. Investigate the shipping routes and methods in this city. Report back to me as soon as possible, Andraya. Dawn set up as many computer networks that link to these routes that you can as soon as they're found, legality not withstanding.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:53 PM

A lot still comes through the docks, but still some things come by truck.

You sent May 12 at 7:54 PM

:: He nodded to Andraya. :: Good.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:54 PM

What are you looking for?

You sent May 12 at 7:55 PM

Any ways at all. Underground tunnels, perhaps.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:56 PM

Hmmm.  Not so many due to the low water table


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:56 PM

:::looks to him::: Anything that have firewalls?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:57 PM

You know here, even the graves are above grounds

Janet sent May 12 at 7:57 PM

Everything has firewalls.   Well.  Almost everything

You sent May 12 at 7:57 PM

That's a little weird.

You sent May 12 at 7:57 PM

Dawn get through any way you can


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:57 PM

A lot of heavy encryption


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 7:59 PM

Ok will do.

Lori sent May 12 at 7:59 PM

I wonder who owns the Dunsrin International?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 7:59 PM

People here. ARE paranoid

You sent May 12 at 7:59 PM

You sent May 12 at 7:59 PM

Why?

Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 8:02 PM

::she smiles and looks around taking in her surroundings:::: so many places to visit and see.  I may explore later on.

You sent May 12 at 8:03 PM

What exactly were you told about me, Andraya? :: He wasn't indicating her joke. He was genuinely curious. For good reason, I might add. ::


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:03 PM

Not much.    Just that you needed someone who had computer experience.

You sent May 12 at 8:03 PM

Why the paranoia I wonder as well.


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:05 PM

Well,  this town is steeped in legends and superstitions.  So, people grow up watching their backs.    ::laughs::   Or, they sit back and watch the show

You sent May 12 at 8:05 PM

:: He nodded again. Note to self, it'll be bad if I rage around Andraya. ::


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:05 PM

A lot of stories

You sent May 12 at 8:06 PM

Many shows?


Lori

Lori sent May 12 at 8:06 PM

Yes so much history. I may ghost hunting around too. :::she giggled:::


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:06 PM

Creatures of the night.    Ancient curses.   All of those stories, real or imagined, create an atmosphere

You sent May 12 at 8:07 PM

Like vampires and werewolves, I suppose?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:07 PM

Those who see, or not see.   The cult of Marie Laveau and the voodoo tales.

You sent May 12 at 8:09 PM

Real sightings?


Janet

Janet sent May 12 at 8:09 PM

Not Egyptian ones.

Janet sent May 12 at 8:09 PM

Hard to tell what is real and what is imagined

You sent May 12 at 8:10 PM

Wow. I've heard of voodoo and mummies but not voodoo mummies. :: He laughs. ::
