[quote=EldritchOne] I'd say its closed, not that I want to exclude you, more the fact that its a deal between two secretive parties and Scarlet being there would probably ring suspicious for one or the other realistically. Unless Lens wants to hire Scarlet I doubt she'd be allowed into the proceedings at all, and even then this is some classified stuff which Scarlet would be let in on, which doesn't seem particularly clever when one considers that Scarlet works for a god who might get nosey about what Scalpel is up to, something he sure as hell doesn't want given he already knows he's being watched by Thea. This is furthered by the fact that Nocturne knows of Scarlets connections, and one peep to Scalpel and the entire trade could go haywire due to his justified paranoia -e.g. he'd attempt to wipe out the other side completely, even Lens if necessary- so it wouldn't make sense for the Scholars to make him nervous like that and just avoid bringing Scarlet even if they hired her.Maybe we can find some other way of getting her involved in the local action, I dunno I think we'd have to work it out between all three of us. [/quote] Alright, figured as much, I'll wait and see if Tai says anything but it was a shot in the dark anyway. Oh well, guess I'd better get some rest for tomorrow, because life.
