[Narninian]

Well challenge 1 is over and that means that Its time to hire one of you guys!

I have good news though, One of our workers seeks retirement - so that means we have TWO openings at mafiacorp right now. My employees will let you know who is hired.

I think that (you?) need to sit down and figure out why you feel that way... It may be something as simple as a personality conflict, in which case you need to find out what it is that is making you uncomfortable and try to understand their personalities and find the good points therein.

If you talk to your co workers you will probably find that they feel just as uncomfortable, and I think you need to reach a point where you all understand each others differences and appreciate them, rather than resenting people because they don't think the same way as you.

Mrs. Larona - You're

HIRED

[bigbenwd]

hm, an archaeologist eh? what have you learned in your feild that would assist you in buisness?

[mlaker]

Well I've learned many languages in my travels including Italian(for handling other mafia groups.) Also to be out in the field you need to know guns and how to use them. Also for dealing with the natves drugs and alcohol are always useful. I also have to have many connections in the crime underworld to find some of my items.

[willows_weep]

The holy Grail?
In what form do you believe it is?
An actual cop of sorts that was used at the last supper and or was used to collect the blood of Jesus?
Or the bloodline of Jesus supposed created through his relationship with Mary M.?

Or something else entirely?
Why do you search for it? Believe in it?

Oh wait...you said FINDING ...do you mean to say you have it, or at least believe that you have found it ?
Please tell me of your findings if this is the case, and how you came upon it.

See them ribbons and medals son? Each one says I mean business... and business is good, if you gets my meanin'. Now drop and give me 20!

[mlaker]

Well it was all a hush hush thing when I found the Holy Grail but it was just like the last Indiana Jones movie which was based on my expedition but did they send me a check NO!!!!!!! Did I get credit at the end of the movie NO!!!!!!! Did I even get a thank you NO!!!!!!! Sorry for my abrupt remarks that just struck a cord.

[FrogGurl]

*soft sigh* Well, leave it to me to forget that not everyone has the background to know these things. My profession isn't exactly widely applauded, which I sometimes think is a pitty. Some would call me a pick pocket, but that's just a harsh crude term that gives us a bad name. Pick pockets are ameteurs...they get caught. Fingersmiths are the highly skilled professionals; we never get caught (unless we want to), and thus you never hear about us. Plus, fingersmith better infers the skill and art that goes into being good at the profesison, think of the other "smith" professions: blacksmith, goldsmith, etc. You get the idea.

[willows_weep]

Sgt. Rush why only 20?

Belle A. Donna why the name?

Do you recognize any of these things:
Stevie Nicks -belladonna
Belladonna-herb
Bella donna- Goddess

Also, 10years? When did you start this profession? Did you take any time off?

Dr. Pinkleton: Like the Indiana Jones movie?
So you are saying it is a relic like an actual physical cup or well at least not an actual person?
Though perhaps you found scrolls?
Hm...

Thankyou

[gslamm]

Thats the spirit. Believe this: 20 is just warming up! Before I get you dandilions in shape your arms 'll be smokin'

[willows_weep]

Hm, those are the cutest weeds...especially an entire field of them.
So cute and powerful then?
Interesting

Belle A. Donna why the name?

Let's start with this: \Bel`la*don"na\, n. [It., literally fine lady; bella beautiful + donna lady.] (Bot.) (a) An herbaceous European plant (Atropa belladonna) with reddish bell-shaped flowers and shining black berries. The whole plant and its fruit are very poisonous, and the root and leaves are used as powerful medicinal agents.

When I was young, I ran away from home to get away from that hell-hole. Ended up hopping from shelter to shelter, doing the street urchin thing for a while. Because of the bad memories, I left my old name back at home, and used whatever name suited me at the time. After a year of working on my own and failing, miserably, I got found and taken into a sort of home. I was fed, taken care of, and that's also where I first got taught my current trade. We had to keep the household running of course. What I got as a cut was pretty lousy, so after I managed to learn all I could from there I set off on my own. Slowly got better, picking up tricks here and there. This became the name I most often go by. It has a nice blend of meanings...beautiful woman. Of course, the better to not be suspected. Poisonous...to those who I take from, but they deserved it. There's also the healing aspect, when I can I try and give a part of what I get back to those like me, when I was young. So it just depends on from what perspective you see me.

Do you recognize any of these things:
Stevie Nicks -belladonna No, can't say that I do.
Belladonna-herb Of course, see above
Bella donna- Goddess No, but I'm not surprised.

Also, 10years? When did you start this profession? Did you take any time off?

Let's see, that ended about a year ago, so it was a rough estimate. First started out on the streets or so about 8 or 9 years old. Taken in a year after that, so really started about 9 or 10. Age wasnt' something I kept track of out on the streets. Was no reason to. No real time off, though once I had a comfortable living I stopped fingersmithing for necessity and got more choosey in who recieved my treatment. Gambling houses of all sorts were ripe for the picking. People, especially men (the better to play my looks on) having too much money and just winning more. No reason I shouldn't take a part of it. They don't need it. So about 10 hard years of working, tapering off towards the end. Now I just work my trade to keep my skills honed and for amusement.

[mlaker]

Yes it's a physical cup the Holy Grail is. Too bad I dropped it.
