With a graceful elegance and a tasteful compliment...
It hadn't taken long to figure out the nature of A.C. Whitman's... heroism. A few admiring questions, a little quiet following. The twit wasn't too careful with his computer, either. Weapons deals. It figured.

In the meantime, 'Minerva' never let up with Zothelle either. She gave a proper impression as a classy little harlot with a good head on her shoulders -- though there was never any impressing Patty. Can't play a player, perhaps. But she'd give just enough insight about financing, just enough help organizing a few little things, just enough subtle hints about ways of improving A.C.'s gun-running. Just enough to make herself seem like she could be quite handy, if they kept letting her in. And in. And in.

She missed Julian so much it hurt. But she had nearly all the information he'd asked her to get. She was almost done.

	When Minnie arrives at Immaculate Smokes that morning, Aaron is behind the counter, doing inventory. "Minerva, hello!" he says cheerfully, setting down the clipboard and coming around the counter. "How are you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Doing just fine," Minnie says, smiling cheerily. She steps over to clasp his hand. "I hope everything's going well here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, it's just another day at the office. How are things with you and A.C? He's been walking with a lot more spring in his step these days." Aaron smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She beams, lying convincingly. "Oh, we're having a lot of fun. He's a sweetheart, and I've always been a sucker for the idealistic type." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He is that, if nothing else. Sometimes he's even more dedicated than the rest of us." Aaron chuckles lightly.

"Did you know that Julian Howard turned down my request for a face-to-face meeting on Adrian Carver's show /again/? I've offered the man a chance to defend his views and his exploitation of young people, but he's not interested in dealing in facts. He'd rather go on some scripted professional wrestling show and spread his propaganda to millions of fans.

But I'm going to do something about that." Aaron smiles.

	"When your enemy goes to ground, you need to leave no ground for him to go to." Aaron says, smiling broadly. He couldn't wait to see Julian's face when he showed up at the venue for a "friendly" chat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing like a little creativity on the field of engagement," she says approvingly. Trying to ambush her sweet Master with his bigoted arguments. Hemph. He'd get very little chance to gloat from that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mr. Howard doesn't fight like most people; he hides behind others because he doesn't have any real power of his own." Aaron says.

"Take away his reality show and all of the people who are part of his little cult of personality and I guarantee you, there's nothing more to him. I have it on good authority that he's sleeping with at least two of the women on the show, if not more. He wants to be a mutant so badly that he's willing to do /anything/ to be close to them.

It really is quite pathetic." Aaron says.

	Minnie lets her disgust show on her face, for once, but channels it acceptably. "The little blue rock star's rather young for him, too. Disgusting. It's going to take all the more persuasion for them to give him the shoving-off he deserves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How would like to come and provide a distraction for Mr. Howard, Minerva? He seems to have an appetite for women he can't have." Aaron says. "We could use that against him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie smiles slowly. "I would be happy to help any way I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

At that moment, another woman enters the shop and Aaron seems even more happy to see her.

"Miss Cortez! This is a pleasant surprise. Please meet Miss Minerva del Garda. She's new to our ranks, but proving to be just as dedicated to our ideals.

Domineca gives Minerva the once over and then extends a hand.

"Good afternoon." she says, a slight Spanish accent coloring her words.

	Minnie managed to surprise her shocked reaction at Domenica's colors. Obvious mutagenic signature. And working with LOHN? "A pleasure, Miss Cortez." She shakes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_baddie 2011-08-24 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Once they release, she looks to Aaron. "Mr. Zothelle, I was hoping that Patricia was around or that you were available to discuss the benefit. I think it would be best if we moved it up. Will you be attending, Miss del Garda?" Domineca asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I hadn't asked Minerva if she wanted to join us. We still have to make sure the guests of honor will arrive, Domineca. But Patty is working on those invites." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, Minerva, it seems that certain...indivduals, like Mister Howard, are accusing the League of Human Nationalists of being anti-mutant and spreading hateful propaganda.

Granted, that's the furthest thing from the truth, but Mister Howard's a very convincing man. To head this off, I'm organizing a dinner to prove that we're not. I'm going to invite him, Andrew Summers, and Professor Charles Xavier to dine with us.

Oh, and X-Factor as well. I want them all to understand what our real agenda is. We simply want humanity's rights to remain intact as we allow our mutant brethren a spot on the world stage." Aaron says.

	"Of course. Calling people together pre-emptively is certainly an interesting idea. I'll do my best to make it," Minnie says pleasantly. Julian and the kids, Julian's nephew, and the man Julian thought the world would be better off without, all called together by LOHN. This was a very uneasy thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, are you friends with Mr. Whitman?" Domineca asks conversationally. "He is a very nice man. Very kind and giving." she says with a slight smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Minvera, I've got work out a few more details with Miss Cortez, as she's planning the menu and refreshments. Can we catch up later? Maybe dinner this evening with you and A.C." Aaron asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds perfect! So good to meet you, Miss Cortez." And Minnie will pleasantly, cordially get the hell out of there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
