[Day 4 - LA] Have a Seat (Closed)

“Gurl, I am not saying he's good, he’s awful, but he also knows his shit about this subject. We can take his knowledge and fix the problem, and that is worthwhile,” she said.

[Frankie Reynes]

"Okay, let's say all that's like, whatever, yeah? He's like a Von Braun without the public government contract or whatever. But then, who are *you*? And I don't mean just your name yeah? How do you tie into all of this?"

"Oh, and I guess follow up question... what happens if I just say no to whatever you have in mind 'ere, and I say I want to get out of here?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Then you can go, you are trespassing and we will defend our secrets and leave you somewhere your people can find you. Sure you can tell the UNJE what happened but you have no evidence, mind reading and visions are not admissible evidence in a court of law.”

“I would be disappointed, gurl, very, but we don’t need you to save the universe. But your cooperation would make it easier,” she admitted.

She paced back and forth and added, “I am trying to protect my universe, and I have the brain power, ability, and means to do it. That is who I am. Someone who acts and does not wait for people to give her permission.”

"Hmm..." Frankie considered all things, wondering if she could trust this woman.

She seemed on the level to Frankie, and Frankie was a very discerning person. #canon

[Frankie Reynes]

"Okay fine... I guess maybe you're on the level, yeah? So... what do you need? How do we save the universe?"

[Dapper Dog]

She smiled and said, “Sign the release form, then in the desk there is a device that will draw your blood that our scientists will take a look at it to get a baseline for your reality. With that done, we will release you. You have my word.”

[Frankie Reynes]

"Why do you need my blood, though? I mean, last time my blood left my body this vampire lady used it to steal my power."

She voiced some more concerns while she started reading the release form, to make sure it seemed legit and didn't have any fine print that sold her soul to the devil or anything like that.

[Dapper Dog]

It is corporate legalese that just protects her company from liability.

She said, "Mostly to catalog any differences between universes and build a better resonance profile for your reality. It's not absolutely needed but it would be helpful, especially if we only have three months to solve the impossible. Just being thorough."

[Frankie Reynes]

"Well, alright, I guess," she said. "But only if you add like a clause that says you can't use my blood for any weird vampire stuff or like, make lots of money off of what you learn, yeah? This is purely to save the universe."

[Dapper Dog]

"I'll make sure to add the no vampires clause," she said with mild amusement.

[Frankie Reynes]

"Go ahead, I'll wait," she replied, being quite serious about the no vampire clause. Also the money stuff. But definitely the vampire stuff.

"Oh and, when this is done... can I see your multiverse stuff? Since we're sharing and all, yeah? I'm something of a scientist myself, you know. Maybe I can figure something out you guys can't, yeah?"

[Dapper Dog]

“I look forward to comparing notes, Frankie.”

“I can give you a tour once we are done,” she said before the hologram vanished. Ten minutes pass and the hologram returned, “There should be a new release form in the desk. Digital signature, and we are done.”

[Frankie Reynes]

She would go over the new contract to make sure, then would sign it.

"There. I don't see why this is really necessary, but done."

[Dapper Dog]

"It makes my lawyers happy, now the blood draw," she added. "Then we can have a nice tour."

[Frankie Reynes]

"Uuugh fine," she said, pulling up a sleeve.

[Dapper Dog]

"Gurl, I am a hologram, please use the device in the drawer, it will handle everything," she responded.

[Frankie Reynes]

"Uuuugh... you don't even have automated needle systems? The last mad scientist I got abducted by had them!"

She shrugged, then went to use the device.

[Dapper Dog]

She seemed a bit confused by that statement and then the hologram went away. A platform from the side extended out and a door formed in the glass where the pathway is. The woman approached across the platform and said, “Frankie, again, my apologies for all this. Ayesha Hall, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Now in person you see the faint haze of dimensional anomaly around her. Behind her are some staff, one looks like an assistant in business casual, and a bodyguard perhaps in a suit with shades. They have no glow.

[Frankie Reynes]

"You got some dimension on you," she pointed at her as if pointing out someone had a crumb of food on their face.
