the moster rears its head once more...

[22:16] Selarin Perian had been alerted of aly's approach long before she made it to his doorstep. his archunters picked up most everything traveling through his property. as she walks to the door it opens automatically and se comes down the steps from the loft area straightening his shirt. "miss sidorva. how are you, I have been meaning to call you, I do hope you are feeling better." he offers with a faint smile. "I have been reading over your business proposal to me, and have prepared a counter proposal for you." he says gesturing to the office chair in front of his desk as he walk around to take his own seat. "but before I get into that, why don't you explain why you dropped by, hmm?"

[22:21] Meneko Karu had taken care with her apperance, despite the exaustion that still clung to her skin like a dead weight. Barely even noticing the doors opening for her, she slid into business mode, her expression carefully controlled, arms crossing over her chest. "I wish I could say that I missed your peculiar charm Mister Perian, but I didn't." She said with an almost acidic tone. "I can with a question, those antibiotics you gave me, they seem to be working better than the others. I need a few more doses, then I should be able to function long enough for Antibiotics from the mainland to get here. At the same time, since I am alive, it nullifies the contract, seeing as how it was a will."

[22:25] Selarin Perian just gives a smile. "indeed, they are good...but If I were you, i would not count all my chickens just yet...please, have a seat so we can discuss business..." he says as he seats himself and looks calmly over at her like a serpent watching a bird and looking at her like his next meal. indeed in his mind, as far as business went, he was about to use his wit and skill to at her alive, and take her fortune from her by force.

[22:26] Selarin Perian: *to eat her alive

[22:27] Meneko Karu's arms crossed over her chest, eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "Thank you, but we played that particular game already Mister Perian, I will stand. If you object I will leave." She said simply, shifting her weight towards the door. "Your business practice is not one that I have interest in. So if you wish to say something, do so- or if you want to skip the whole threating my family part, you can point the gun at me now. I really don't have the time for these games."

[22:28] Freezer Door: Meneko Karu is peeking in the freezer for a treat.

[22:28] Refridgerator Door: Meneko Karu is getting something from the fridge.

[22:29] Coffee Pot: Sorry, you need to attach a cup near the coffee maker to fill it. Here's one if you don't already have one :)

[22:29] Coffee Pot: Please attach/rez the cup and press the pot again.

[22:31] Selarin Perian shakes his head. "you arent here to play my games, and I am not here to play yours ethier miss Sidorva, so you come to my home, you will respect how I do things, if not, as you said, you can find the door..otherwise, you can have a seat..." he leans upwards to put his elbows on the table in front of him and smiles smugly. "otherwise as you said...you are a big girl capable of finding the door for yourself..and you can play my game, in my ballpark, blind...." he calmy reaches over to the side of his desk and pushes a button opening his front door remotely. "A little help for you if you insist on your current attitude." he says gestureing to his doorway.

[22:33] Meneko Karu let out a sigh, perching herself on the corner of the chair, one foot dangling, dragging over the floor. "I simply came to buy a few more antibiotics from you. If that is too much for you to supply, so be it, I will poke around for another avenue."

[22:38] Selarin Perian nods slowly and allows the door to shut, he figured that would solve her current mood swing. "Aly...I can supply you those yes, but before I do...have a look at this." he says pulling out a contract and pushing it over to her for examination. "its my counter proposal to your will...it makes it where you wont need anyone to look after your friends and familywhen you go...because you wont." he eyes her as leans back and crosses his finger in an intelock position as he brings the calf of one leg on to of the knee of his other.

[22:41] Meneko Karu's bored attention went from the door to the desk, an arch of her brow the only expression she had. As he pushed the paper over towards her she said nothing, simply staring at it a moment, doubting his ability to see to any of the sort. Biting back a smart retort she leaned forward, plucking the paper off the desk, skimming over the words before she started chuckling.

[22:45] Selarin Perian raised a brow. "it says I will supply you with the medicines needed for the standard fee for such things untill I can find a cure, and upon finding it, you will have it administered to you...you in turn...submit to any duly appointed medical personnel for perian industries or a subcontracted practitioner therof, so that research into your condition can be conducted...upon development and administration of a cure, you turn over the entire amount of the bravta fortune to me...in full, no strings attached...you will have no money, but you will have your health..and the ability to look after your family on your own, rather than trusting me...whome frankly, you dont trust anyway..to do it for you." he says watching her reaction with no real humor in his gaze, he was all business right now.

[22:50] Meneko Karu tossed the paper to the counter, her arms crossing over her chest. "So you seek to take advantage of the dying now?" She asked quietly before she slowly rose to her feet. The desire to accept the offer was on the tip of her tounge, but she had to be responsible, an annoying pattern was starting to form in her life these days. "So you asking for me to blindly trust you, and those loyal to you to cut me up like some little rag doll until which time you deem me to be cured. At such time I am to give you my entire fortune, leaving nothing to support Vin or the baby if something does happen to me?" Tapping a finger on her leg she made a little face. "Two things, besides the obvious come up. A.) How would I know I was cured, who is there that you cannot pay off to tell me so until you take my money. I know nothing of medicine, and as you so clearly stated, I don't trust you. Secondly, what happens to my family if I walk out of this situation and, seeing as how it is midian, die withing months. They would-

[22:50] Meneko Karu: still be in danger, but ontop of that, they would be hard up for money."

[22:56] Selarin Perian gives her that gesture that one gives when they know the have the upper hand in this game of poker. "well miss Sidorva, when I have an oracle present to tell you your future, I will get back with you on your second concern, but at for your first, I give you one thing to think about in your decision making process...its a gamble...but ask yourself if its one you are really ready to pass up...and also...if its one you are willing to...all your life, you have been sick, weak, and frail, and lets face it, no matter how hard you try to cover it behind that beautiful, veloptuous frame of yours..." he leans up and an evil glint comes into his eye as his body language even takes on the characteristic of a snake and his frame slithers to lean forward against his desk, and his voice sounds like a razor agaist a leather strap. "you will always be a frail little girl...or, you can sign that paper, and have your health, and your body back the way nature intended it...its really up to you...or, there is option b...you

[22:56] Selarin Perian: can wither away, and die...like the sickly little thing you are..."

[23:03] Meneko Karu knew him as the snake in the water he was, her body sliding off the chair, hands braced on the desk as she leaned forward to match him glare for glare. "Yes, I am sick, but I have been sick for far longer than you have been running your business, Mr. Perian, I grew up around men that puts your corrupt, money whore ways into shame. You don't scare me, so you resort to extortion and insults that border on childsplay. If you want me to sign that paper, you give me facts, figures and what I am signing. Else you better find yourself that oracle to give me answers instead."

[23:03] Meneko Karu: on what I am signing*

[23:04] Meneko Karu: find yourself that oracle to give me answers instead, because thats the only way you are going to even sniff at the Sidorva fortune."*****

[23:10] Selarin Perian just smiles as she rises to his challenge. "you already heard the facts, it is all there, and I have already explained it as clear as it gets...i get your money, you get a chance at your cure, but if I dont find it, I dont get my payday, so it behooves me to be legitamite about it, I wasnt going to insult your intelligence...you didnt get where you are by being stupid...but here is the game..you sign it now, or it goes away...and now I know where the real money in the split russian mafia is... and i am going to have it...so..you may think this childish, but this is what I do, and I am willing to wager that in Midian..I am better at this than you are, if we were in russia, its your ballfield, but here, you are in my playground, and you are only on my monkey bars cause i view you like a good little monkey...now if you want to cross that line and go to war with me, you just walk out that door...but if you do, ill show you clilds play and how a real game of chutes and ladders is played...what I am offering i

[23:10] Selarin Perian: s legitamite, and my version of being nice...." he pauses. "now kindly make up your mind if its me, or you you want watching over your little family members, because frankly, I am a busy man, and have other matters to attend to than squabbling over the charity case of sick children..."

[23:17] Shiroyu Takakura is Offline

[23:19] Meneko Karu's attention turned to the paper, her brow arching ever so slightly. "So let me get this straight, I pay you before you even begin the work?" She asked, with a soft chuckle. "That really doesn't give you any motiviation what-so-ever to even get the cure started on. Let alone resolved, is there a clause where you can't touch my money inless I am cured, and again who decides I am cured Hm? One of your paid off doctors. How the hell do I know that I am not going to walk out this door 'suddenly' cured already. Your contract has holes in them, if you want to explain to me the details, instead of insulting me, and trying to start wars because you aren't getting your way, then I will consider signing, because you and I both know my family is worth more than a bank account. But until I get proof, other than your word, which after holding me hostage and threating me and my family, really is working for you, I will not bindly hand my money away."

[23:28] Selarin Perian swiddens his grin as settles in his chair. "there we go, now you are talking sense." he said "I dont get your money until you have a legitamite cure, you are welcome to hire your own doctor for a second opinion if you like...as far as money changing hands between then, you pay only for the antibiotics untill the process is done...the rest, I will cover...that should about clear up any of your discrepancies that you may have with the paperwork...is there any other questions you have that you can manage to put in clear form so they can be answered adequately?"

[23:30] Meneko Karu's brow arched ever so slightly as she picked up the paper, glancing over the wording, reading it over, and over. She knew the art of legalise, slipping in little loop holes where no one expects them, that slowly tighten like a noose around the neck. "Do you have an off button somewhere?" she growled at him softly, pulling from her pocket a slim pair of reading glasses she inwardly made a face at the idea of wearing them, but she needed to be certian.

[23:36] Selarin Perian nods. "indeed I do...but you have made it quite clear from out meeting the other day where I felt it nessecary to, as you put it, allegedly threaten your family and whatnot..." he sighs. "I asked simple questions to protect my own interest...you chose this path with me by your own actions, maybe its because our interest in the end is the same...so here we are, with me on the attack, and you on the defensive, both traveling the only two roads we know...if I felt it possible to bury the hachet with you, I would, but you dont seems to feel that is possible, and if thats the case, its a self fufilling prophecy, so be it, it is what it is, and we become victims of our own dealings and fate...poetic really...but I will be quiet and allow you time to read." he then indeed does grow quiet to allow her to look over the contract.

[23:39] Meneko Karu tuned him out for a moment, Peeking over the top of the contract at him, the bright green eyes narrowing in his direction. "That was a hint to shut up, not preach." She informed him with a withering glare before turning her attention to the contract once more. "And what amount are you expecting of the Sidorva fortune, it is vast, but I would hate to dissapoint you after you went to all of this trouble."

[23:41] Selarin Perian "watch your mouth with me in my home, I warned you once about that, and I meant it." he was far from joking, she may not be afraid of dying, but she might not enjoy what she could live through and he was not one to be disrespected, not in his own home more especially. "I expact all of it. every last penny."

[23:44] Meneko Karu tossed the inky black hair over her shoulder as she shruged a shoulder. There was really no way of him knowing how much she had taken from her grandfather, or how she had invested it, where she had hidden it or where it was. She wisely chose not to point this out as she signed the contract with a flourish. "I will get a hold put on the account, to be removed upon your fufillment of your end of the contract."

[23:47] Selarin Perian smiled, he may not know where it all was...but if he felt she was living beyond her means or was suspicious about it he would investigate it promptly. "accounts...miss sidorva, dont insult my intelligence ethier, if you think for one moment I believe you dont have that money split a hunderd different ways, you must think me a fool...I had hoped that was disproven the first time we conducted business." he said eyeing her in a way that said she had best choose her words wisely from here on out, he had enough of her attitude for one night.

[23:47] Alric Bravin is Online

[23:49] Meneko Karu's lips parted in a sigh as she pulled out a phone. "And you must understand that I do not have the means to move so freely about the banking world. I am too well known. So I have people to do it for me. My money can be in a billion different places, I don't have to find it, I simply put a hold on the account with a very well paid firm. One which, you might be wise to maintain such a good payment history. They were my fathers people after all."

[23:50] Meneko Karu: Grandfathers*

[23:52] Selarin Perian chuckles. "if its all the same to you, I have my own private way of keeping tabs on all my funds." he wasnt about to put his cash anywhere where aly had influence, next thing he knows she would have found a way to drain cash from him, and he wasnt about to have that happen...before rooke left he had locked sels money into its own private electronic fort knox...no way anyone was going to get through it unless they knew computors in such a way that they found a way to have microchip sex....

[23:54] Meneko Karu looked over at him, her brow arching ever so slightly. "I would rather my money be in a place where my threats are well heeded. If you want to sign into the accountants firm, or have one of your people watch it, then so be it. But I am sure as a buisnessman, you can appreciate my wariness to simply hand over the money with no sway over my side of the contract."

[23:57] Selarin Perian shakes his head. "or maybe for the third time you missed the part where no money changes hads till the contract is completed, and that will be the final action of the contract itself..there is no need for you or I to guard your money, as I will have no access to it till this is done, and your cure is administered, and verified..."

[23:57] Allissa Coswell is Offline

[23:59] Meneko Karu shrugs a slim shoulder as she settled back in the chair, her hands clasped in her lap. "Very well then, if you don't mind concluding this meeting Mister Perian, do you have any antibiotics left over? They are the real reason I came here after all." As in anything, once comitted to something, she didn't even have an inkling of doubt that her decision had been the right one.

[23:59] Meneko Karu: commited*

[0:03] Selarin Perian nods anxd pulls out a case from under his desk, it was a stainless steel container in which dry ice had been packed to store the medicine. "I have some, but with these new doses, there is a catch...they must stay cold, or they will lose thier potency....rendering them usless...do be carefull with them, your wellbing now has great interest to me...I suppose I will just have to be your little guardian angel now." he says with that grin jack nicholson gave in the witches of eastwick.

[0:05] Meneko Karu was used to instructions such as these, rising to her feet, touching a finger against the case, her head nodded. "What temperature? We talking freezer or fridge? What is their freezing temperature, and what temperature do they need to be kept under?" She wouldn't dignify the guardian angel comment with one of her own, knowing that he was simply baiting her.

[0:09] Selarin Perian looks at the case. "a good cold fridge should suffice, they wont freeze. keep the container, and should you have the need to be on a transport, or away for any extended period of time, it will give you a few hours at best." he instructed...the truth was that the case was bugged, and the medicine would be just fine without being refrigerated, but this ploy served the purpose of insuring that she would not get to far from midian while his investment was in tow...the contract had no tricks in it...but the man sure as hell did...

[0:11] Meneko Karu nodded her head, grabbing the case, turning on her heel, and starting for the door, flicking her hair over her shoulder she let out a quiet, tired sigh. "good day Mister Perian." She said in a brisk tone, already mentally calculating finances.

[0:17] Selarin Perian would go about his business, and once she was well out the door and on her way, he would pull up the program on his computor that was recording the audio and tracking from the bugged case and look at it as the gps cordinated displayed across his screen..."good day miss sidorva..." he whispered to himself and gave that smug little grin of his to the monitor before minimizing the program and looking over the desk and situating paperwork...for a moment catching his own reflection and gazing at in in the glass for a moment, niot sure who he was looking at anymore...it seemed the monster he tried to leave behind in the mainland had reared it head again all to quickly when confrontation reared its head...he drops his head to his hands and rubs his face a few times and ponders just what the hell he is doing...and if all this is really worth it...the struggle to stay on top and protect his fortune...ethier way, he gets up and quietly walks to the kitchen to grab himself a cup of coffee and sips it for a few more

[0:17] Selarin Perian: moments, not even really enjoying the taste....
