Scrying made easy, Emerson can see it all... young women and men with talent lead up, offered a chance... and.. yes, Rhapssodized

A scowl as he watches.

One young woman says "I have so many ideas now.." Jazzed, energetic, destined for greatness... doomed

"I am quite prepared to act as judge and executioner in this case, Dearest."

CC says "That bad?" She says wondering what he sees

Oh the young woman is a song writer.. .she's going to break the top forty for sure now

He describes it to her.

"That poor girl!" A hiss, "You don't.,.. that's.. oh I'm... " A LOW breath, "That elf needs to die"

A slow smile. "Well, when you put it that way...."

"Darling, this is an afront to the muses.. and I don't mean changelings... there are...sacred in this world. To burn through talent like tissue just for a fix? "

Ahem. "There is no chance he might be related to you, is there Dearest?"

"I Have never rhapsosidized in my life" A bit offended, "What do you mean is there any chance he's related?"

He clears his throat. "Tantalus."

"Oh, well, Tantalus bent his toys for a longer term I think but I see your point. No, this one is not related to me"

"Excellent." That satisfies him.

"Something.. specific to family lines in your method of execution? Can you do that? " Impressed

"Oh, nothing past the obvious." A dark smile. "Some of my favorite memories are based in turning son against father...."

"Okay, that's both disturbing and...kind of a turn on" She admits

Chuckle. "Some of the Bloodiest, too. Sophocles was right."

She quotes "A Wise Doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore the needs the knife" Then a chuckle "I can see why you like him"

"Just so. Now. How to proceed....."

"I look forward to watching a master 'No mockery

"Blueprints of the building, we will need muscle but we have...." musing.

"I want to know how he gets these people. He must advertise..... where?"

"If we kill him we will need to kill the gorge as well. I did not see signs of others but...."

"Want me to look in on that?" She offers

"Let me do that, Veiled or otherwise disguised. I would like you to find how he gathers his victims."

"I'll get on it" she says

"How are we on dross?"

"Not bad. I Have a wine cork from an anniversery, and a itsty bitsy teenyweenyellowpockadot bikini if yoiu want something with oomph"

"Then you are in charge of gathering more. He's a fool if he does not have reserves from his the very and we must be armed."

"In charge eh? I'll get the highboots"

A smirk. "You in stiletto boots would be effective indeed."

"For satyrs it's like walking on stilts, but thanks" A smile

"I have always admired your gymnastic skills." Amused.

"Sounds like a dinner for a future evening " she purs, "Okay. I'll get more dross from the reserves, and how he gathers victims. I have contacts in the local music scene. Should be easy"

He catches her hand. "Be thorough, be quick, but about all.... be careful."

She gives a reassuring squeeze. "I will"

He looks worried, even grim, but he nods and releases her. "I will get blueprints and case it. Regular reports. Stay in touch. When can we meet again with progress?"

"Make contact through my answering service. "

"I'll probably have feelers out in less than two hours, and have something for you in 6 if not less" She answers

He frowns. "I wonder if I should take up residence at my hotel."

"I think that's in use dear." She reminds

"She's in New Orleans, no?"

"Yes, her apartment is empty, but your hotel room you gave to me for my affairs"

"Are you going to be using it while we work on this?" An eyebrow.

"Well ah... I have someone there now, they needed a place to crash" sheepish

A Chuckle. "Very well, I will make other arrangements."

"Dont' worry, I warned them what I'd do if they messed it up"

"I am not worried about a -hotel- room...." he scoffs.
