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.

	"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)

	"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.

	"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)

	"I have to admit I'm not a big sports enthusiast," Carolyn says, "I to due enjoy watch them from time to time for other reasons." "Why do you ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was just gauging interest in a possible long-term investment in a billion-dollar business." Julian says.

"It has to do with the sports area project I sent you. A professional baseball team would look good, either in Las Vegas or resurging from it's failing grandeur. There's one in particular that just ended up on the market.

The Los Angeles Dodgers. I'm thinking of investing in it, maybe gathering some others. Could be a gold mine in the making." he says.

	"An old New York team with strong civil rights connections through Jackie Robinson," Carolyn says, "I can see plenty of opportunities though establishing a new fan base can be a difficult thing to do." "If you play that right you could very easily though make it a very strong investment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's true, but that movie from way back had the right idea. 'If you build it, they will come'." Julian says.

"The Dodgers could be a real powerhouse again, but they just need someone who can manage them and work with that history. Los Angeles has the history, but Las Vegas could mean a new start for the team." he says.

"The correct path will present itself soon enough. Right now, I'd like to, as you said, get New York in order. Once that's done, the rest falls into place." he says.

	"Yes and they do have a fairly loyal fan-base in Los Angeles," Carolyn says, "But I don't thing they would object to you turning them into a powerhouse again as long as you can prove that you can and that it's not just a stunt." "But I agree that care of your own home before working elsewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not one for publicity stunts, Carolyn." he says. "The first part of cleaning up New York begins with District X. From there, City Hall." he says. "I was thinking we might also work together on that." Julian suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	queenofcrime 2011-06-27 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"My concerns lie in other parts of the city though if you want some help with District X I would gladly extend my support," Carolyn agrees, "I also would like to see some changes around City Hall." "A join venture could accomplish more that a single group could." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-29 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"I agree, Carolyn. I'm going to look for ways to help District X and I've got a few in mind, but I need to meet with some others. In the meantime, what changes are you hoping to see at City Hall?" Julian asks her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	queenofcrime 2011-06-29 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"City hall has gotten to stagnant for my tastes," Carolyn says. "This city needs change to become the great and wondrous city that I know this city can be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-06-29 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, I noticed. Term limits are a wonderful thing, though most places don't seem to get that. The Mayor's recent...condoning of the District X situation, with the help of the governor, leads me to believe that there are better candidates for both positions. I happen to know at least one for each." Julian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	queenofcrime 2011-06-29 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I can think of more than a few people for those positions and city council," Carolyn says, "Though I must admit I'm of half a mind to run myself so I can make sure thinks go the way they should." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hellfireprince 2011-07-06 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"You're a bit young for the position. That's the first thing your critics will tell you, but I'm sure you've figured that out. Still...it would be nice to have a mayor who is easy on the eyes." Julian grins. "If you did run or if you backed a particular candidate...what issues would that candidate be most fervent upon?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well some would say I'm too young to take over as the CEO of a major corporation too," Carolyn says, "But we are posting record profits. So I believe that should prove that I'm fairly competent but the looks don't hurt either."

"Urban renewal, fair treatment of all the city's citizens, and cleaning up the streets of crime," Carolyn says, "And of course working to help the schools and actually doing so and not just saying I will."
