Who: Xellos, Hattie of Heaven, maybe even Hellmaster Phibrizzo if we're lucky!
When: Back-dated to 8/1, 2pm
Where: Uzushio
Summary: Hattie makes a deal with the DEVIL for a chance to live the dream.
Warnings: There may not actually be a devil

It's a nice day and Hattie is dressed in more modern attire; a white jacket, ruffled orange blouse and black pencil skirt- rest assured it's expensive. And she reaaaally hates having to shop on a budget. It really isn't working out. But should things go well, she'll have a brand new fashion life ahead of her-

She was so excited about the possibilities that she could hardly get any sleep last night and it was up to Ella to drag the sleep-deprived blonde out of bed. Literally. But she was in good shape now, albeit a bit stiff and sore from tossing and turning. But she put up a good face upon entering the hotel, and simply smirked as her presence turned a few heads. MN! WORK IT, GIRL! She should go and break a few hearts once this is over and done with.

But first, she had to find the priest, and so she approaches the front desk to, hopefully, be pointed in the right direction.

(OOC: Action or prose is fine~.)

"Excellent, Miss Hattie. It is important to teach the little ones after all." He sits down and takes out some of the contract he had prepared. If necessary he would make some changes, but he had a feeling that as long as Hattie got the investment money she wouldn't care too much. The devil was in the details though.

"She is probably just disappointed that the office doesn't live up to my title. The mist and smoke made finding papers ever so difficult though. Plus losing people, which of course just meant more paperwork"

He may or may not be joking. He says this in his usual cheerful demeanour though.

It is? I mean.. It iiis. Hattie doesn't have a little one to teach, but she doesn't have time for things like that right now anyway. Phibrizzo was given an utterly shocked look. EIGHT? That was far younger than she had expected, and he seems to have a pretty important job on top of it. Goodness gracious!

"A Magic Shop? That sounds.. Fun." she said, mostly to humor him. For the moment she didn't realize that it could hold some things she'd be interested in, as she was mostly focused on fashion and skin treatment. So liked this location better.

She then blushed toward Xelloss again, with a nervous laugh, "Oh, no.. I.." She's embarassing herself so hard in front of him. She counted herself lucky that he seemed so patient! But she didn't take the last comment seriously, that was too silly! "Oh you! Well then, I've written up a list of things I'll need, though I don't have their exact values written down, Mister Priest, just estimates. I hope that won't be a problem.."

[that_is_asecret]

He takes a look at the list. She seemed to have over calculated for most things, he didn't imagine anyone needing that much ribbon and lace, it was enough to make a tent. He goes through the other stuff, the fabric budget while higher then he expected was still somewhat close to what he imagined.

"You seem to have a lot of ribbon and lace, not to mention jewellery on the list. Though as long as you can justify the expense it should be ok. I'd advise you start out small, and make a few samples, just in case you end up with a surplus. Of course how you run the business is entirely up to you."

Whether she followed his advice or not really didn't matter to him, so long as she made the appropriate signatures.

"Yes! And the sewing machine is top end!" Hattie notes with a delighted laugh, "And did you know there are more then three types of mannequins? So you might actually want to triple that come to think of it. Oh! Yes, and I know a couple of people who should be able to help so there's really no way I can fail!"

The blonde looked quite proud of herself, but she paused at the moment in reaction to 'start out small'. She twisted her lips a bit, then took her pen out of her bag to make an adjustment that was on the back of the paper.

She handed it back, ".. Is that better?"

[that_is_asecret]

"You certainly seem confident at the very least. Though that has been the downfall of many, I'm sure you will be fine." Though whether or not she was didn't really matter to him.

The car thing would be a bit of an expense, they could get one certainly without too much problem. He didn't really understand them well himself, had a sort of basic knowledge of them, but he knew Miss Hattie seemed to like them a great deal and consider them a badge of wealth.

"The car might not be to your specifications, but it will rest assured be well appointed, and in good repair. Though who would be driving it?"

[blondandperfect]

"Well that isn't surprising, really. Not everyone can possess my level of ingenuity, even in modern times!" Hattie replies, looking quite proud of herself.

That said, she seemed a little hesitant about not getting the 1st or 2nd choice vehicle that she wanted, but.. She trusted the Mysterious Priest enough this far, and he seemed to understand her tastes, why not trust him a little more?

Not to mention, he asks a good question, "I have a couple of people in mind lined up," she replies, finger to her lower lip. That is, a couple of people who may do so for dirt cheap! "Though if you have any recommendations, I'd be happy to hear them out!"

[that_is_asecret]

"Of course not, you are certainly a unique person, Miss Hattie."

He really didn't understand her desire for a car so badly, nor the desire of many to own one. The island wasn't a particularly huge place, and there were faster ways to move around. If you were going to go for quick transportation, you could just hire one of the teleporters.

"Oh I see, well that works out nicely for you. Well if you have your heart set on someone else, feel free. If you have any trouble keeping or finding someone, let me know and I should be able to find someone suitable."

[blondandperfect]

"Oh, Mister Priest!"

Hattie blushes, with a dismissive wave of her hand. Such a flatterer. Hattie wanted it mostly for the social status; but she couldn't deny it'd be useful for transporting fabrics and goods. But not just any clunky old car would do for her!

She seemed a bit surprised afterward, though. Did Xelloss have someone in mind for her? What a sweetheart! "Well I'll certainly keep that in mind if things fall through, Mister Priest. And with that said, it sounds like everything is in order, yes? Is there anything else I need to know before I sign?"

[that_is_asecret]

"I know, I'm awful aren't I?" he laughed a bit. He really truly was.

"Not particularly, we should be able to have the car ready within the week. Make sure you have the driver's qualifications sent as soon as possible." Though of course she should probably inquire more about the details, which would be a wise thing to do, she didn't need to do so however.

He made a little mark where she should sign, it had a little star beside each of the places.

"Just sign beside the star, and you can go to your massage."

[blondandperfect]

Within the week? Hattie's eyes lit up again; and if that wasn't distracting enough, the thought of going to the spa made it even less likely for her to look at anything on the contract aside from the stars.

It was pathetically easy, really.

Hattie took her pen and signed her name. It takes about a minute for her to do, as it appears she's a perfectionist when it comes to writing. Imagine how long it took to write that list!

Once that was done she returned the paper, "Wonderful! Thank you so much, Mister Priest, I won't disappoint you!" She then looked to the younger of the paid, "Would you be so kind as to direct me to the spa, Mister Phibrizzo?"
