003 ⚓ Video ⚓ The birds and the bees...and very reasonable fees

[mistakesmakeus]

[Isabela stands outside of a large, modern building. Obviously a home of some sort. The storm that's ravaged the city over the past week or so is letting up, and it's currently overcast. Isabela gives the device a brilliant smile.] City of Aliunde, I bring you great news!

For those of you who may be feeling lonely or restless, or simply just awful

[Tony's holding the fancy invite and grinning when he messages Isabela.]

Now how can I turn down such a lovely offer?

[mistakesmakeus]

You can't. That is precisely why I sent it. [She gives him a flirtatious smirk.]

[ironfail]

Aren't you crafty. [Tony laughs, setting the invite down on the table.] I'm free for a visit now, if that works for you.

[mistakesmakeus]

Very crafty. You can't be a captain on fighting skills, alone. [Isabela chuckles.] Sounds lovely. I await your arrival, Serah Stark.

[ironfail]

It's just Tony, Isabela, none of this Stark crap. I'll be over in a few.

[With that he's heading out of the house, and several minutes later is strolling up the street to The Port.]

[mistakesmakeus]

If you insist, Tony. [She purrs his name. Can't help herself.

She lounges on the bench out front, drinking in the sunshine, eyes shut as she waits. And yes, Tony. They're real.]

[ironfail]

[Yes, muuuch better than this "Stark" nonsense.

Aw man, that was gonna be the first question he asked. Beat him to it.] Isabela! Fantastic finally seeing you in person. It's a pleasure.

[mistakesmakeus]

[Her eyes open slowly and she lifts her head. An easy smile grows on her feature and she climbs to her feet. She's not short, and she's dressed in her usual attire. Including the boots that manage to cover most of those long legs of hers. She steps closer to him, offering a hand.] A pleasure. [She parrots.] Took the words right out of my mouth.

[ironfail]

[He shakes her hand firmly, lingering a bit longer than was probably business appropriate while he takes his time letting his gaze slide over her body. Oh yes, most definitely a pleasure.] Nice looking establishment you have here.

[mistakesmakeus]

[Linger aaaaaall you want, Tony. She releases his hand after her own once-over.] My thanks. It's taken a bit of time, but I've got her up and running.

[ironfail]

Did you get loans? I've been thinking of starting up a business soon myself. Nowhere near as fun as yours, but it'd have its benefits.

[mistakesmakeus]

I had a....private investor. [She chuckles warmly.] Oh? What sort of business will you be starting? Something fun?

[ironfail]

Ooh, one who's as fun as I'm thinking? [You slept with someone for money, didn't you, Isabela, spit it out.] Sort of a branch-off of my company back home, we made a lot of tech - cell phones, computers, that sort of thing.

[mistakesmakeus]

[No, she did not. Unfortunately. As much as she suggested it, still got turned down.

She gives him a blank, though slightly amused look.] I have no idea what those things are.

[ironfail]

Right, I keep forgetting. [He pulls the communicator out of his pocket.] Like this but better.

[mistakesmakeus]

Oh, those...things. [Isabela nods.] Then I'm afraid I will be purchasing none of your merchandise, Tony. My apologies. [She chuckles softly.]
