Suave's Links
This lady right here? This lady is competition! A club and a casino on the same stretch is bound to split the crowds! Hell, in his younger days, Suave would probably attend Valentine's joint himself - albeit with less-than-pure intentions.
Still, she seems pleasant enough! Of course, they've barely really spoken - yet anyway.
Suave is... respectable. He's a large man, could be considered an intimidating man, but he clearly has a decent heart and a mind for business. He's not afraid to get involved with his own establishment, and believes in equal opportunities. And it'd be a lie to say that she wasn't interested. He's competition, but competition that she has no real desire or drive to compete against, and would rather focus on her own business than worry about another. Still, Suave is friendly enough and he seems like a good time. He's pretty fly for a big guy.
Oh. Well now that's a familiar face.
She's the, uh... the shark girl right? Used to be dating that guy in the... who was it... in that gang? Sometimes hung around his old business before he got put in the slammer?
She's, uh. She's certainly grown.
Woo! Shake that ass big guy!
Hey, club owner's pretty aw'right. Not afraid to step out of the business suit and put on some tight pants, gotta respect that. Or at least objectify it, 'cause daaaymn,
Though there's no helping a certain sense of familiarity about him...
Ah. Right. Gardner.
Gardner is scary. Not in the way that some are scary - he's not immediately monstrous in his outwards presentation, not needlessly violent where violence isn't requiring. It's all under the surface, the uncomfortable feeling that under a chummy experience, this is a man who could destroy whoever he wanted - physically or emotionally.
Of course, Suave knows he shouldn't really worry about that... He never did anything to earn the man's ire. Plus, the big cat probably wouldn't even recognise him anymore! Still... he has been seeing him around recently...
Aaah, Ignacio, he was a good little worker. Was always good with numbers, very respectful, and good with people. Perhaps he did think himself a little smarter than he really was - but he at least knew his place below Gardner. He could always do with more workers like him - just a shame about the unfortunate incident with the police. Still, well, if SOMEONE'S gotta go to jail...
Still, he's not really heard anything from the little guy since he got out. Though interestingly enough, a club has opened up in-town recently from a guy with the very same nickname. Of course, it couldn't possibly be the same person - still, Gardner ain't gonna complain about the excuse to go see a guy in tight pants shakin' his li'l nervous ass. ...What does he seem so nervous about?
Well... Raphael is... certainly a happy customer? Admittedly a rather, uh, hands-on one at times, he's certainly not shy. Then again, he always at the very least tips well - just as soon as the money's been fished out of whatever tights he's tucked his cash down. It's kind of an uncomfortable deal, but Suave gets the distinct impression Raph is doing it rather intentionally.
Suave just worries that perhaps the salamander may be something of a bad influence on his other staff... He's definitely one to keep an eye on.
Whoo, shake that ass big guy! Raph is something of a semi-regular to the House of Jack - but still, he doesn't really know Suave as well as some of the other staff. He knows he's in charge of course, and they've occasionally shared words with each other, but never really anything of significant worth.
Still, Raph certainly doesn't mind watching the big bear work! And he certainly likes to make sure the bear knows he's watching - after all, always fun to see a guy like that blush~
The 'blushing beast' as Suave has thusly nicknamed her. She's been in the club a few times, but certainly hasn't ever spent long there. More often than not it's been to see or speak to Lydia... though the polar bear swears he's seen her in there at other points. Usually not for long admittedly - the poor girl seems to embarass rather easily.
It's funny then to compare her to the 'Barbarian King' he's seen a few times in the ring. It takes a lot of Suave's energy to not want to step in to protect Lydia from the canine's vicious hands. He just has to remind himself that despite the vicious showmanship... she's actually quite the meek-mannered being.
Oh, right, Lydia's boss? Well, other boss - Lydia has had a lot of jobs in hindsight. Still, everything she's seen of the guy has given the impression that he's a decent enough fellow. He even turned up to a few of the wrestling shows to show some support - as far as she can tell, he seems rather protective of their mutual friend.
Still, Kath can't help but feel... at least a LITTLE uncomfortable around the guy. More than likely it's just the sort of business he runs - which honestly, shouldn't bother her that much. Still, the back of her mind does sometimes beg the question of the sort of influence he might be.
Oh. Well. Hm. Sooo... Rosalind has a detective friend. That's... that's awkward. Well, she doesn't seem to be ON TO him or anything. In fact, she seems relatively friendly! Albeit, uh, not very... Detectively? Is that a word? She seems... kinda irresponsible.
Either way, he's willing to help her. He honestly wants to avoid her as much as physically possible but well... this is a serious matter. Maybe if he helps it'd be worth a pardon of sorts...? Who knows?
Heheheh, Suave seems pretty cool (Y'know, cause he's a polar bear)! Having got the formalities out of the way, she likes the dude! Sure he's the owner of a nightclub, but he's a lot more down-to-earth than she initially expected! Plus, him being Rosa's friend? Well, that's an added bonus! There's no WAY he can say no to her now!
As for the case itself? Well... she's glad to have him on board. The more people aware, the easier it'll be. And if that sleezeball were to appear in Suave's House o' Jack? Well, she's gonna have to pay for a LOT of repairs. ...Hope he still likes her afterwards!
Oh! Her! The... person. Who was with the Detective. The... other Detective? Maybe? Detective-in-training?
She was... kinda weird. Spent a lot of time staring at nothing. Like, it seemed odd that a lot of the time she wasn't watching what was going on, despite the fact she seemed to be being trained up. Though it didn't seem like they weren't paying attention... Instead, it seemed that they were extremely focused on, uh, nothing. Very focused.
Weird kid.
This was a big bear they were kinda scary. At first. That is. Then they seemed.. uh.. well - interested in Rosalind's boobusiness I mean, obviously. And then they also felt.. nervous. Which Taph found interesting. Though.. they're not sure if it was HIS nervousness, or maybe.. the crowd was just making THEM nervous.. could their powers counter their own feelings back at them..? ..Well, anyway. They're glad they weren't alone with that guy and instead Willow was there too. They wouldn't wanna question him alone, no matter how much of a pussy he actually is.
Ohey, this little guy! Seemed friendly enough, albeit perhaps a little bit uh... over-formal? Well not formal but... y'know the sort. With the clipboards and the glasses - snooty! Worn out and snooty.
Definitely not great with kids though. This man... this man should not be a childminder. Like, okay, kids are hard - especially ones which want to take over the world apparently - but this guy really did not have ANY of the manner to deal with them. Suave was just glad he could lend a hand!
SUAVE! Not all friendships started in Prison are awful! And we work together and he's a way better Dancer than me.
