Aemilia Black. Pleasure’s all mine. 

Cassandra Kennedy. I hear you’ve already sorted out accommodations.

Paris has over 2.6 million citizens, which is roughly 20,000 people per square kilometer — metric system, not imperial — 6,100 streets, and the most overwhelming traffic density in Europe, but not a single stop sign. The last one was seen in the 16th district, at the Quai Saint-Exupéry, until it was removed in 2016. Parisians said it was stolen, and not removed by authorities. Just like the man running with a dented stop sign i just saw coming from the airport by Bay Street. Someone should take care of that.

And yet New York City, with its fascinating stop sign count per imperial unit, has five times the amount of traffic collisions. No introductions, then? Skip right to business?

Our mission begins by rocking Cassandra Kennedy’s boat, Aemilia. I’m sure her family has enough skeletons in their closets to ensure our mother serves another term. I’ll work on getting her the public approval she deserves, don’t worry your pretty little head. Noah, well, she won’t be getting a halfway decent lawyer anywhere in this city if I have anything to say about it.

[ PRIVATE ]

When you’ve formulated a real plan, don’t be afraid to share with the class. The class being me. You know how I hate to be kept in the dark. You know, one day I would really appreciate a male opponent to put in the dirt, so to speak. Or at least a woman who’s not a 10. Can I get back to my paperwork now? Some of us have real work to complete before city domination.

[aemiliablack]

alistar-black​:

[ PRIVATE ]

Some petty act of revenge against me for exposing her true motives, I’m sure. But she won’t keep me from raising my daughter like she deserves to be raised. Like one of us. 

[ PRIVATE ]

And this is the only solution you can come up with? With our sister getting friendly with the muscle dense gremlin possibly just to spite us, Cassandra Kennedy arriving in town, everyone looking up to mother to fix everything they can find to whine about, and.... everything. Worst case scenario Noah Nicolai crowdfunds a halfway decent lawyer from people who dislike us and that lawyer begins snooping about. To play devil’s advocate here. You’re certain about this path? 

[aemiliablack]

alistar-black​:

I’m certainly not planning on exposing her indiscretions to our mother, however, if we have to burn the bridge before she crosses it, then so be it. Time will tell. Anyhow, that’s not why I called. I paid Noah Nicolai a visit. She refused my offer, which was a very kind one, so I suppose we’ll have to be lawyering up in the next few weeks. 

[ PRIVATE ] 

Why is she refusing, Alistar? 

[aemiliablack]

alistar-black​:

[ PRIVATE ]

She might not’ve had her tongue down the girl’s throat, but I know an enamored Aurora when I see her. Let’s hope its nothing but happenstance — or that she’ll stick to her usual pattern. She’ll play with her new toy for a few weeks, then get bored and move on to the next shiny object in the room. 

[ PRIVATE ]

Victoria Devereaux certainly is toy-sized. At least she’s not making a drunken public scene quite so often. This alternative is quieter, but our dear sister is not prepared to deal with Brigid should that woman decide to take advantage of the situation. It’ll be temporary. You know how it is with her rebellion and whatnot. Am I the only one you’ve decided to gossip to about this?

[aemiliablack]

alistar-black​:

@aemiliablack​ [ PRIVATE ]

Hello, dear sister. How nice of you to make the time to finally pick up your phone. I have only but one question — why did I just see Aurora canoodling with Brigid Devereaux’s daughter? Doesn’t she have a couple of college girls she can put all that energy into chasing after? Maybe a brainless firefighter or that French girl she brought to Thanksgiving last year?

[ PRIVATE ]

I’ve been busy. ...You ask as if I’m supposed to have a single clue as to why she does anything. Define canoodling. Surely it’s some sort of mistake or happenstance.

lucia-delgado​:

Telling the world you like wine isn’t a personal detail. It’s just a fact in a sea of other facts about you that you think are going to hurt your reputation, but I’m pretty sure its the last thing anyone’s concerned about in this town. Your drinking habits. Or your sister’s, for a change. 

It’s not necessarily the town’s judgements I’m concerned with. I wouldn’t be out and about on the odd occasion if it were. Certainly any conversation with your bartender who’s very determined to keep me humble would be far more devastating. 

[aemiliablack]

lucia-delgado​:

You do know I’m not a journalist… Do you?

Another lesson I’ve learned young along with the importance of names. Personal details are best kept personal. And image is everything. I probably shouldn’t have said anything. Even in hypotheticals.

[aemiliablack]

lucia-delgado​:

Is that what you do, then? Drink? Its also bad for your skin.

I make no formal public statement on or off the record about it. But hypothetically, the hand can certainly have a mind of its own under the right circumstances. Also hypothetically, my skin care routine is killer enough to willfully ignore that detail while I’m still young. 

[aemiliablack]

lucia-delgado​:

Habits that are hard to kick? Gambling, watching porn, forgetting the names of people you meet. The hardest one? Fucking smoking. 

Forgetting people’s names can be a serious problem. Make one mistake in front of a strict father as a child and you’re repeating first and last names in conversations for life. Though the smoking I wouldn’t know about. Anything that’s easier to reach for at any given moment than a glass of wine probably isn’t in my best interest to humor. And it’s terrible for the skin. So best of luck with that, I suppose.

natnunez​:

Yeah well I still think you ought to chill the fuck out. It’ll be better for your forehead or whatever. Any person I consider my friend. Threw some fuck out for Nora last week. 

When the opportunity arises I’m sure I could schedule in some chill. Will it be around another person? Unlikely. You’ll have to take my word for it. 

[aemiliablack]

presley-stone​:

Is there someone else you were hoping they’d fill Baleman’s spot with, Miss Black?

No one in particular. Just someone I know would be able to actually free me from a burning building should my life come to that. 

[aemiliablack]

presley-stone​:

I’m plenty big enough. Size doesn’t matter when you’re firefighting. 

But there is a strength measuring portion of the hiring process, right? 

[aemiliablack]

natnunez​:

I told him to shut the fuck up and get out of my bar for calling a girl a whore. You threatened to put a kid’s face through a bar for hitting on you. We are not the same. 

That was at the shop. Different words of self defense at the bar. A woman says ‘no’ fifteen times and she’s entitled to spell it out for him. What kind of girl has earned such a protective nature from you, then? 

[aemiliablack]

presley-stone​:

It’s finally here. My first official day as a firefighter. 

They’re making them smaller and smaller these days.
