(( OOC: More than one person talking to him, Conway will run. *notes* ))People. Everywhere. This was a bad idea. Going out in the day time only brought him trouble if he was in a large area. He weaved through the crowd, avoiding glances and people. He grasped the coins in his pocket as he looked through the crowd. Why had he gone out again? What was he looking for? Oh. A job. That's right. He needed something to do with himself. Pretend to be normal for a little while. It was better than killing people or kidnapping them. He wandered past a table at an open cafe, snatching an abandoned paper. He could look for something in there. Maybe he should go to a less traveled part of the city? Then he wouldn't run into the chance of messing up his covered. Stupid. Stupid. Why had he come out in broad day light? He hurried through the crowd as fast as he can, accidentally bumping into a few people and bowing his head in apology. |

Sabe was here and he was in an ok mood... but the business was expanding to heights that he had not invisioned before. That being a queen would effect the mailing business that he had runnin... well that wasn't right, it was more of a corparation now. He sighed as he moved through the throng in the streets posting here and their wanted signs so that people could come in for open interveiws. He had even put some in the local papers here in the Capital. "Sabes Safe Transport Co." Need it delivered? Want it quick and intact? Well We could do that all if we had more people to work!!! HIRING IN ALL DEPARTMENTS!!! Sabe, queen of clubsIt wasn't that bad... he had thought as he moved through the throng once more after posting another sign on a lamp post. He was near despreat for some workers.... That was when he acidently bumped into a human, his pappers falling everywhere to the ground, he silently curssed at his clumsyness. "My apoligies" he said out of politness as he reced for the papers that he had happend to fall out of his hands. |

Conway dodged people as best as he could, but suddenly he found himself running directly into a bright red and speckled heron. With a silent exclamation he fell backwards, hitting the ground harder than he would have liked to.
The papers floated down, several landing around him. He looked up at the heron and his quietly apology and down to the paper. Snatching it up so he could read it, he ignored the man for a moment.
He... had a shipping service? Didn't Mr. Birdy have one to? Except he was the Queen of Diamonds... and probably a heartless business man. It seemed like a Diamond thing to be, as nice as the old man was.... what would he think of someone like this? A Queen of Clubs probably wouldn't be thought high of.
"You're seriously expecting people to help you just because you're a Queen of Clubs?" Conway said to the heron as he slowly picked himself up.
Anyone who passed by couldn't here Conway's voice, thanks to his Joker ability.

Sabe was taken aback by what the man had said, did people really think that being a queen made people want to do things for them? That was a quite sad way of thinking about such ranks... and yet he couldn't see this mans... because of the clothing.
As he picked up the rest with talon and hand, did he look up to the man.
"I do not expect people to work for me just because of my rank. Though I want people to know who issues the post." he said as he picked up the last one. He really needed the help so he guessed that he would have to attempt to work on this one. It was a good day and he wasn't feeling that bad.
"Well... I run a company and needing the help... though yet you seem quite interested in that post, what do you say? Would you work for me for both good pay and respect?" he asked as he looked down on the man... he wondered what region that he came from... the scars could have been artificial or even that of the region, yet it didn't matter. Everyone was the same in his eyes.
He waited patently as he watched the mans movements.

Conway laughed and shook his head. And he continued to laugh for a bit, trying to calm himself down. That was the most utterly ridiculous thing he had heard in a long while.
"Are you for real? Did someone drop you on your head when you were a kid. Of course rank matters! If you didn't think it mattered you would have just posted your name and address." Conway said as he waved the paper around as he spoke.
And then that question came. It wasn't what he was expecting. Not at all. He rolled his eyes. "Why would I need a job? Are you insinuating that I'm poor or something? Seriously, where would you get that idea?" He wiggled his fingers under his holey cravat. "What dumbass hires someone off the street for something other than killing anyway? I obvious don't look sweet and innocent, and I don't do guys, thank you very much."

It was now Sabes turn to laugh, the man seemed to enjoy himself a bit too much. Sabe then stoped as he realized why he hadn't laughed in a while and then turned his attention back to business.
"Well now, I know that a theif or even that of a murder would be found at night more easy in the night than during this bright day, and for what I'm needing wouldn't require much hard work or that of something that would require much thought. So hiring off the street isn't bad, and their is a interveiw involved as well." he said as someone acidently bumped into him again.
"How about this, why don't we go somewhere less crowded and discuss this... and out of the street." he said as he looked about spotting a small tavern tucked away in the corner. "How about there?" he said as he pointed twoards the place in question.

"Ooooh, but murders can run around during the daylight hours as well. For all you known I could be plotting the demise of some poor innocent person as we speak. Trusting me off the bat like this could be very dangerous for you and your health, couldn't it? You don't even know who or what I am..." Conway said with a small smile as he watched a person run into the heron.
He caught sight of several observers from the corner of his eye. They were watching, commenting and pointing. Conway twitched as he turned to look at them, wide-eyed. The must have thought the heron was talking to himself. Or at least they thought Conway was crazy.
A bar? This early in the day? Was the man a drunkard to suggest something like that this early in the day. "I don't drink. Places like that are awkward, Sabe." Conway said with a wicked little smirk.
What would pushing buttons do?

Sabe shrugged to his first comment, and nodded to his second. He was right of course, it was a bit akward to be going into a bar this early in the day. He looked around once more and found a nice restraunt that he had visited for quite some time seince he had been here in the Capital... they did serve the best fish after all.
Sabe hadn't noticed that people were looking at him, the usually did that just because of his bright colors and his aloofness. So he ignored most of the comments and looks, the white wings did draw a good bit of attention, expecially with the aura that it produced. That incredibly powerful aura of self-assurance, attracted much attention... and questions. It helped people most of the time, and now he was starting to feel it himself. It made him a stronger person.
Though it would have seemed that it didn't effect this card as much as it did others. Sabe started to think about that, could this card be that powerful to ignore it? He shrugged mentaly and moved to the subject at hand.
"That may be true, though I do think that it would take a bit more than you think. Unless you have had this planned from the begining." he said as he gave a smile. He knew that he could excape at any time that he would need to. So he wasn't afraid of what others could do to him.
"And your right, going into a tavern this early would bring some akward glances and the such. Though... by the look of it it would seem that you yourself don't want to be out here." he said as he pointed around himself. "So how about that restraunt over there? My treat." he said again trying to get them out of the street so the he wouldn't get nudged as much... and pushed... and suits know what else... he had to keep an eye on his satchle least it get filched.

His movements were sudden. He jerked forward, suddenly close to Sabe with a frown on his face. He was right about Conway not wanting to be outside, but he shouldn't have been so damn accepting of it. Too confident. Too friendly. Something must have been wrong.
"Who are you really, to be so trusting of a complete ragged stranger?" His voice was raised, to the point that normally people would stop to look at what was happening. However, no one did besides the few spectators who had previously gathered. "Who are you really to be so accepting?"
He was being paranoid. He knew that. But what if... what if someone found out about him kidnapping that kid?
No. That was impossible. He pushed it out of his head as far as it would go, taking two steps back to look at the heron who was a great deal taller than he was. Stupid big birds.
"You say such kinds things, but I don't know if I can believe you."

It was just the way he was... he had always been trusting of everyone untill they did somethig to prove otherwise... it was that he would bend over backwards for anyone that would need it, even if they where a stranger.
"Its just the way I am... I wasn't born a queen you know, so I know how it is for those that are of lesser rank and suit. I belive that people have good in them no matter how evil or mean they appear to be, even if it is just a tiny spark." he said as he motioned to the restraunt that he wanted to go to. He had the money on him... hopefully...
"And for as who I am, I am Sabe. Master Mail Carrier here in the Capital. Though... who are you? Are you some stranger that I need to give pause to that you may or may not attempt to murder me in my sleep? Steal my money when I'm not looking? For I hope not, your vigilance of the surrounding people would make a great addition to the company, someone who dosn't trust anyone and suspects something of everyone." he said as he took a good look at the man, now he was really curious of what suit and rank this man really was...
"So how abot some good food and something to drink out of these busy streets?" he said as he lifted an arm twoards the restraunt that wasn't that far away.
