God she was young, Val decided. Probably just out of college, if that, from the looks of her. Not that she was above corrupting the young, after all she'd run off with Giovanni younger than this woman and he'd turned her probably about the same age Nara was now. God, now there was a thought. Val had never really seriously considered turning anyone. Not that Nara was a candidate for that or anything but... huh. Something to think about any way.
"You're in the wrong city for jazz. Try Chicago some time, New Orleans is good for it too."
For a second or two Val debated between a cover story or playing helpful local, both had advantages. If Nara was new in town though that meant she was probably a bit vulnerable. It might matter, it might not. On a whim Val decided to answer without answering.
"We're both in on business, actually work over in New York but we keep ending up in Nachton. What brought you here?"
Curiosity would kill the cat, but she liked to know things. You never knew when it was going to prove useful and since Shades wouldn't tolerate fighting or feeding questions were the next best thing.
Nostalgia (Attn: Tai & Nara)
They'd had a good night, collected a couple of loans and looked at some real estate. Val was still searching for likely properties and other ideas. She didn't like to have her fingers in too many pies, but by the same token didn't like to have all her eggs in one basket. She did, however, apparently like to use a lot of cliches but who really cared?
With work done she'd sort of steered them to Shades. Once in a while the atmosphere appealed to her, it reminded her of home and Giovanni and a lot of other things. Besides she wasn't in the mood to get into a fight tonight and that wouldn't be a problem here. Tai hadn't objected so they found a table toward the back, out of the way.
She'd ordered a Highball, it was what she'd been drinking lately, settled into her chair and then stretched hugely and grinned at her partner.
"I never did ask if you liked jazz."
The three man combo, piano bass and drums, playing now was low, slow and smooth but not that nasty cheesy 'smmoooooth' jazz you got some places or in elevators. Val would be good money that they could kick it up if they felt like it.
She also didn't necessarily expect an answer. Tai was... well he was Tai and he wasn't chatty. She was fine with that and he was apparently fine with her being more loquacious that was strictly required from time to time.

"I'd love to go to either one. Just can't afford big city living right now. Nachton is a beginning step though. Maybe someday, I'll get the chance to go to the other two."
At the mention of work. She decided to plug the hotel that she hoped to be working for soon. "Soon there will be a themed hotel that you might look into." She pulled open the clutch and wrote down the name and address to slide over on the napkin that her drink had been on. "Not sure when it opens but I'm hoping to be working there."
When asked about what brought her to the city, she turned the glass around with her fingers again. "Lost my mom just after we lost the house. Dad was already gone to cancer, so wasn't like I had a lot to stay for. I had done some journalism classes in high school about crimes and unsolved cases with mysterious situations that the police where quote unquote either covering up or really clueless about. Before Dad got sick, I had wanted to go to college to be a journalist, but didn't work out that way."
"Now, well, I can't afford college but can try some freelance work while working another job on the side and see if I can get my foot in the door looking into the cases that caught my eye back then. Perhaps even some new ones if they are out there. Though Mom said it was likely someone pulling a hoax or just paranoid. Still makes good reading."

Tai smiled and laughed softly at Nara's story, which he supposed wasn't actually funny at all but he found it humorous. Which part he was amused by wasn't clear by his reaction.
In truth, he found the idea of unsolved crimes laughable. Tai had committed any number of assassinations in his lifetime, and as far as he knew no one had ever actually pegged him as the murderer. Oh, the Yakuza knew who he was and what he did; names got around after all. But there was no concrete evidence to link him to any of the murders.
Oh, but Nara's parents were dead. The proper response was not laughter. It was sympathy. Tai schooled his features into an appropriate expression although inside he wondered if Nara knew how lucky she was to have ever had parents who gave a shit.

Oh dear, this one was unreal. Far too sweet and earnest. Val absently sipped at her drink and tried to think what had happened to her parents. Honestly she didn't know, or couldn't remember, she'd sort of lost track of them after throwing in with Giovanni. They must be dead but damned if she knew how, when or why. She ought to look that up.
She would be -way- too sweet to eat and Val was starting to rule her out as even possible fling material. No doubt she'd be shocked to her core if she and Tai propositioned her. So all she could do was arrange her face in to a very sincere mask of sympathy and concern. Really you wouldn't know she didn't 100% mean it.
"Sunshine, you ought to just cut to the chase and write a country song or you've got enough material to make at least three blues songs."
At least the girl was trying to find a positive in all that, at the very least she was keeping busy. That Val understood. She hated having nothing to do.
"There ain't nothing knew out there. It has all be done before... but what is catching your eye?"
Val had a feeling that Tai was thinking along the same lines. She had more than her fair share of unsolved stuff under her belt, especially if you counted Ireland. Ah for the good old days.

"You have to have be able to put a song to a beat to do that." She frowned at the idea of even thinking about putting her losses to a song. "Losing a family might be some one's idea of entertainment, but not mine. No offense, I like a good country song every so often, and love jazz. But not the idea that it would be my life being sung about." It was still to new. She was able to talk about it with out crying and getting all melancholy now, but there were times when she missed them more than she could stand.
Getting out and meeting people, finding a job or jobs was what they would have wanted for her. It was what she wanted for herself. The challenge of making a new life. At the question about what was catching her eye and the comment about it had all been done before, she frowned. If she took that attitude, she'd give up now. She wasn't giving up.
"People like mysteries. They want to know what happened. Closure. Then there are the stories where there were a lot of letters to the editors about how things were hidden, that some facts were not brought out. Those are the ones I want to look more fully into. There is already interest and questions. People want to know, so they would want to read what I might find out. Strange sightings. There were a couple of attacks with body parts left but not the complete set that match among the random pieces found around this area. The thought was animals, but then no hunt went out to find it to put it down that I could find. Why? Back home animal attacks to even the cattle had the hunters out there to get it and keep it from harming any other animals or kids for that matter." This particular story had caught her eye, though it wasn't a new one. It had just kind of faded from the papers with no follow up. It was curious to her.

Tai kept his mouth shut, not that that was difficult. Losing a family could definitely be entertainment depending on which side you were on. He'd been responsible for such losses many times, and someone had once been responsible for his. It happened. Bleeding heart stories failed to touch him much anymore, if they ever really had.
Nara's story had him chuckling softly again.
"Urban legend," he said, the only two words he'd uttered in some time. He wasn't going to explain that. To him it was obvious. People didn't leave body parts sitting around. They usually needed them for something. And killers especially didn't leave body parts around. Whatever Nara had been reading had probably been dropped from the news because it was a load of bullshit that someone didn't want to get called on.
However, she was right in that it would make a great reading topic for people who liked that sort of thing. Smart move; there was definitely a market for things of that nature.

She wasn't going to apologize, but Val did let the matter drop. Some people were sensitive. Once in a while a tale of woe would move her, but not often. Most people died, you moved on. That was how the world worked.
She did grin at the idea of the whole unsolved mystery thing. Val would admit to reading true crime books, and was especially fond of those that they didn't have closure on. It was a morbid fascination but it was fun.
"Urban legends, conspiracy theories, call them what you will they can be fun. After all people are still selling books about Jack the Ripper and Lizzy Borden. There is a market for this kind of book and you don't even have to solve the case, just put all the clues and evidence together. If you do it right and get a smart agent people will eat it up."
Of course Val also quickly ran through her activities since arriving in Nachton just to make sure she hadn't left any body parts lying about. Nope, she hadn't done anything along those lines, not really. So she should be perfectly safe. Hell even if Nara hit on the whole vampires roaming the streets, who was going to belive her?
"Sounds like you'll be living at the library though, going through back issues, trying to get a hold of police reports and all that. I think I'll just read it when you're done."

The man's chuckles at various times had made Nara a bit uncomfortable, though at least this time it hadn't been when she was talking about the loss of her family. Not everyone found true crime or supposedly true crime, or as he called it 'urban legend' interesting, she knew that. But enough people did that she felt she could make some money off of it. She smiled at Val and nodded.
"That's what I was thinking. A whole series of articles over various cases and legends of crimes long past from this area would get my name known while I work on a really big one for a book to publish once I am well known enough to attract a publishing company. Then see where I go from there. I'd like to do a series of teen crime stories. I always wanted something with grit to it when I was in junior high. Now, with all the emphasis on getting kids to read more, I figure it would be something that might sell."
Chuckling, "At the library, interviewing old members of the police force, trying to find those that were living at the time to see what they remember. Yeah, its going to be work intensive."

Tai inclined his head at Val and then at Nara in acknowledgment. Of course urban legends could be interesting. There was always some aspect of the unknown, some creepy strange coincidence that made them irresistible to those who followed them.
The idea of writing teen crime nearly made him laugh again but Tai bit it back, managing to snort and then turn the snort into a cough. Really? How was teen crime different from any other crime? Tai had committed murder before he hit the age of 18. What did that make him?
If teen romance was like porn-lite, what would teen crime consist of? Shoplifting a pack of bubble gum? A well-timed bitch slap? Wait, maybe mugging an old lady!
He quickly gulped down the rest of his drink before a giggle could escape. He was sure Nara's idea had merit; it was just that Tai came from a much, much different walk of life than the aspiring author apparently did.

Personally, Val had absolutely no tolerance for the teen market. It just showed that they had way too much money and most of them didn't work for it. But, on the other hand if there was a profit to be made catering too it, it wasn't a bad way to go.
"I'm sure there must be a few local magazines that would be willing to publish a few articles. The news paper will probably be a snob about it."
That would be how she would start. Small local magazines let word of mouth spread and then see about getting picked up by some one with a bigger circulation. Not that she knew jack about writing or getting published, it just seemed logical to her.
She sensed Tai's amusement with the subject and couldn't say she blamed him.
"Have you thought about finding an agent? It might be easier to get some one with 'ins' to beat the bushes for you."
Val finished off her drink, noted that the band was apparently taking a break and that Shades was filling in for a bit. She closed her eyes for a second and reveled in the sax. He did know how to make that puppy sing.

Nara thought about this and nodded with a raised brow of interest. "I'll look into that. I figured a serious news column for the newspaper, or at least one catering to the paranoid would work. I've already talked to a man that is interested in my working for the paper. So, that at least is a secondary income with the added benefit of getting my name known to the public for written works."
She lifted her glass to her lips taking a brief sip. She wouldn't ever take much of a drink, just giving the appearance of drinking along with others when she went out with friends. "An agent? That would work, but takes money. Right now, not only do I not have a name that's known, I don't have enough income to do more than keep myself afloat. That is a goal though." She nodded. Her gaze going to the sax player with a smile. "Oh man, he's good." Her head swayed to the music with her eyes closing halfway in enjoyment.

It was a really good thing he and Val had taken to hanging out, because Tai would have been out of this conversation before it had even begun. As it was he had fixed Nara with a look of what probably appeared to be polite interest but was in actuality more like restrained hunger.
Val played nice however, and Tai hid himself in his glass. It worked out best that way. In the meantime Shades had begun to wail a mournful tune on the sax and even Tai turned to watch. It was impressive.
"Yes," he said, not indicating which part of any of the conversation he was agreeing with.

Val shrugged. She didn't think a serious paper would pick her up and some of those conspiracy theory papers, they were... well did you really want to get your name known by those people? But if the girl had a plan the girl had a plan. You never knew how these things were going to work out.
"Get an agent to work for a percentage. They only get paid if you do. They are the people who know people and might be the only way some one will read your stuff."
That whole it isn't what you know but who was true in Val's experience. Coconut here was far too Smallville for her own good.
"What you really ought to do is take a business class or three."
There was no excuse for being ignorant. Even Val had gone to school here and there after being turned.
Leaning back she closed her eyes and listened to Shades. He was good. She also ran the toe of her shoe along the line of Tai's calf. Damned if she was going to lose the mood, it might have been dimmed a little bit but she was still interested.

Nara nodded. She already had one contact in the newspaper world that said he would give her a chance. But more was better in the case of those seeing her work. The idea of the agent made her think. She hadn't known they would start without some kind of retainer. She nodded at this.
"I was supposed to go to college, but didn't get to." She took a sip of the drink, just a tiny one, of course. Her mind on the reasons she hadn't gone. "I could try for grants, but still need to make enough to keep my apartment. I was planning to look into taking a few classes once I got a steady income going and could budget it." She shrugged. "What was it that you two do again?" She asked, thinking they had spoken of being in town for business or something of the sort.

Thank goodness for Val. Tai would have fallen into a coma long before this point. He slid his hand over Val's thigh under the table, acknowledging her mood and verifying the silent request.
Half attending to what Nara said, he nodded. When she asked them about their business, he couldn't resist.
"She sells," he said, nodding his head at Val. "I'm public relations."
And then lapsed into silence again, letting Val elaborate if she wanted.

Feeling his hand on her thigh Val smiled a little cat like smile and tried not to laugh outright at his assessment of their working environment.
"I sell cars keeps things running smoothly."
It was more or less true. Val just skipped around on the details some. She would have said he was in finance rather than public relations, but really, it was a gray area. Tai covered both to some extent after all.
More interested in what Tai was doing under the table and wondering how far she could push him than in what they did for a living she turned to the coconut with utter sincerity.
"Both of us are in town for a bit of a sales meeting. And thank god for it. If it wasn't for these meetings I'd -never- get him away from the wife and kids."
She rolled her eyes playfully as if to express how much she hated sharing him. In the mean time she slid her shoe all the way off and slowly made her way further up his leg.

Nara looked nonplussed for a moment only. Then grinned at the implications that she had drawn from the comments about her pulling him away from his family. She thought it was rather exciting and scandalous. She loved it. This was part of being in the city. She of course would feel differently if she were in love with someone that did this, but she was young enough to find such a situation titillating since she wasn't personally involved.
"Sales meeting. Sounds like something to skip out on as soon as possible to me." She wanted to live life now. That was part of the idea of leaving Uvalde behind. "And lots of places to spend time away from the family around here to explore while out and about." She raised a brow with a glance between them before turning back to look at Shades playing the sax in such a way to pull her heart strings and tie them in knots.

Tai did his best to look slightly uncomfortable with Val's flirtatiousness, running the fingers of his right hand almost absently over his left ring finger as if thinking about his family back in New York.
"That's true," he said to Nara.
Standing suddenly he bowed to their company a little formally, stiffly. "If you'll excuse us... we have, uh, some business matters to take care of."
Val had given him the right set-up and Tai took it. "Very sorry... please excuse us. Arigato."
Holding his hand out to Val he waited for her to take it and left the club quickly, his arm tucked around Val's waist, leaving no mystery as to where they were headed for the evening.

Sliding her shoe back on, she smiled at Nara before taking Tai's hand and fitting herself against him looking smitten and lustful. The lust was easy.

To find someone exciting and hot looking like that man was? He was quiet but so nice to look at. Well, Nara hadn't had a date in a long while so most men that had mystery and had that strong silent type thing going for them would attract her. She stayed to listen to the music and dance with a several more guys, but then after finishing the drink several hours later she left as well.
