Networking (Carrie)
After a busy few days, Julian has to get back to the business of running his businesses. Ideas to pitch and people to meet, after all. Today's appointment with Carolyn Fisk was a long time in coming. They'd spoken briefly at a few charity events and other happenings in New York, which was where Julian had first become intrigued in the idea of working with her. She came from a wealthy family and he was also scouting out her potential for another venture down the line.

He arrived for their dinner meeting wearing his finest Black Armani suit, his metallic cane in hand and waited at their table in the most private room Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse had to offer. The wine would arrive only minutes after she does, and Julian reads a bit of the stock reports while he waits for Carolyn to make her entrance.

	Julian begins on his fish, though his Hunger has him considering other items upon the menu. "Can't live with the paparazzi, can't throw them from a moving train." Julian laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The card is a simply off-white affair that with a few words inside. Issues with television. Need advice. The information was rather simple. It was a code that would let her know that something didn't go right with a job this evening and her people needed orders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Doesn't mean we can't try," Carolyn says with a laugh. "I don't mean to be rude but it seems I need to make a private phone call," Carolyn says apologetically, "I hope you don't mind if I excuse myself to make it quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be right, Carolyn. Please take your time." Julian says, continuing his own meal, albeit slowly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn's consigliere answers the line immediately. "Ma'am, there's a problem. Tonight's shipment at the pier was taken. Both our men and the Irishmen are all dead." he says. "We think...it was the Punisher." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn frowned. "I don't care who did it," Carolyn says, "But this won't happen again are we clear." She let out a sigh thinking before continuing. "Is there anything we can salvage from this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, he didn't get /everything/, ma'am, but he got several automatic weapons and a few grenade launchers." her man says. "We're not sure what his game is right now. But...there's also another problem. Asher O'Fallon is demanding to speak to you about this. He's very angry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well than make sure what we still have is delivered promptly and without further issue," Carolyn says.

She was getting rather annoyed with this but she was unwilling to do something foolish right now.

"Also assure Mr. O'Fallon that he will get the rest of his shipment as soon as possible plus a little extra."

"I am more than willing to talk to him but right now I am a little busy."

"Mr O'Fallon should know better than to be very angry at me. He might make me die of laughter."

	"I'll pass the message along, ma'am. Mr. O'Fallon was a bit unreasonable at first, but he calmed down after a minute or two." he says. "I'm sorry to disturb your evening, Miss Fisk. I will handle everything else until you're available again." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Very good," Carolyn says, "And do let it slip to some of the more competent gang leaders and mercenaries that anyone who give me his head with be rewards handsomely." She then hung up her phone and made her way back to the table. "Sorry for keeping you waiting," she says." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"For a woman of your beauty, Carolyn, I find that the wait is always worth it." Julian smiles. "Are you all right?" he asks. "Do we need to reschedule?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Isn't it wonderful having employees who know when to ask for guidance and when to think for themselves?" Julian asks. "I've studied some of your earnings statements. You're expanding well and showing growth every quarter. That's rare in this day and age. It's a good look." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes that why we pay them the big bucks to be great at what they do," Carolyn says. "Fisk Industries always has been be on the up and up," She says, "My grandfather was very good at that and I hope to continue that tradition well into the future." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-15 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"It's important to respect tradition, even as we forge our own paths. My father always said that to me, and I try to keep it mind in all my endeavors." Julian says. "Were you very close with your grandfather?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes you should never forget the past and the lessons it has to teach," Carolyn says, "But at the same time you have to be looking forward. A hard balance for some people to find."

"I'm afraid my father and grandfather had a bit of a falling out so I never really saw much of him," she explains, "But I grew up hearing all about him and reading about his works in the news.

	Julian sips his wine and smiles, thinking to himself that news and stories were his primary knowledge his true father, Magneto. "It's often difficult to adjust to filling the shoes of a great man, or woman. Many people never do, same as the balance you refer to." Julian says. "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Julian asks her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's why I didn't you never really can fill those shoes in you need to make the role your own," Carolyn says. "Having extended my business interests above and beyond even my current expectations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a good goal, Carolyn." Julian says. "I think every businessperson wants the same thing, though to varying degrees. Personally, I'd like all that and more. A television station, a news paper...controlling all media would be a feather in my cap. Or, I'd enjoy it until it got boring and I wanted to do something else." Julian says.

	queenofcrime 2011-06-17 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Very true," Carolyn says, "Hard to be unambitious and successful in the world of business. An interesting goal to have there though the internet makes it impossible to control media in it's entirety. Blogs and all that." "I'm personally not one for resting on my laurels either," She says.

"The idea of being the new 'King of All Media' appeals to me. Being able to give a platform to those whose voices would otherwise go unheard makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something with my success. X-Factor is just a part of that idea.

I'm hoping to start another reality show in the fall with another young mutant who wants to help change the world and the way people think about mutants, humans and the relations between the two." Julian says.

"The old ways aren't working, so it's time to find new ones, otherwise the world will change and leave those who aren't willing or able to evolve in the dust."

"Very ambitious and noble," Carolyn says, "Though I must admit a potentially volatile one in the current political climate. I'm interested to see how this big plan of yours works out.

That sounds interesting though to be honest I'm not much for reality TV. And most of my philanthropic efforts tend to be more locally focused. After all how can you change the world if your own back yard is a mess."

"True many of the old ways aren't working but people cling to them hard and it takes just the right touch to make them let go willingly."

	"I'm not big on Reality TV, either, but it draws in the ratings." Julian laughs, returning to his food. He chews thoughtfully, then speaks again. "Are you a sports fan at all, Carolyn?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
