Human Torch has posed:
WELCOME TO JOHNNY'S JAM

Is the first thing that you see as you exit the elevator. The next thing you see is Johnny Strom sitting in his tanning chair with a Mai Tai. He is on his cell phone chatting incessantly but once you step out for a bit an android comes over and offers you a seat and a drink.

Vintridr has posed:
    Vintridr isn't sure what she was expecting when she'd gotten the message, but she's quite certain this wasn't it. She accepts the android's offer with a gracious smile, but remains standing, drink in her hand, waiting for Johnny to finish his discussion.

Human Torch has posed:
The Android comes over and taps Johnny on the shoulder. Turning his head he throws up finger and smiles, turning back he says a few more words on his phone the he simply tosses it in the air and the android catches.

Popping up, he runs over to Vintidr with his hand extended, "YOU MADE IT!" he smiles largely.

"Umm..what's your name again?"

Vintridr has posed:
    Vin raises an eyebrow, briefly wondering whether this man is for real. "... Most of my customers refer to me as Vinnie. You might as well," she replies, taking the proferred hand and shaking it. "You mentioned in your email that you had a business proposition?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm keeps the smile on, "Yeah. Yeah! I do. I do."

"Let's have a seat Vinnie and chat for a bit first, I wanna get a feel far ya," he opens his arms wide offering a seat on the tanning table and the other hand towards the bar spilling a bit of his Mai Tai.

"Where would you like to sit?"

Vintridr has posed:
    Vintridr continues to look at Johnny somewhat dubiously, then shrugs and finds a seat that hasn't gotten alcohol spilled on it yet. "... Fair enough, I suppose. What is it you wish to know?"

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods, "Yeah..yeah," by wiping a seat and sitting on it."

"Where are ya from? What else do you do? How did Vinnie become your name?"

Vintridr has posed:
    Vin's dubious expression doesn't change much, but she decides to humor the man, for now. "As to the latter, I've used different aliases over time; folk of Midgard lead shorter lives, and I prefer to move on before anyone starts wondering why the decades pass me over like a summer rain. But ever so often I do start missing the sound of my given name, and I choose an alias that's similar to it. 'Vin' was straightforward enough; the students that make up most of my clientele turned it into 'Vinnie' more or less by fiat."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods very slow listening intently or giving the idea that he is.

"Wow, yeah....yeah. Midgard huh? I think that I have been there. Yeah...yeah.."

Taking a sip of his drink..a big one...then handing the glass into the air without looking and the android takes it and gives him a new.

"Well, I was in upstate a while ago, a girl that I am 'seeing' is up there. And I was looking for a place to rent out for a day. I was just wondering about how much that would cost?"

He takes another sip of his drink.

Vintridr has posed:
    Vintridr blinks. "... You intend to rent an entire coffee house. Just to impress your date," she summarizes. in an is-this-guy-for-real tone of voice Johnny is almost certainly well used to by this point, then she sighs inwardly, deciding that if he insists on throwing money away that's not her problem. "Including staff, I take it? The rent would be significantly less if you intend to do your own staffing, but I /would/ insist on a larger deposit beforehand. How late would you be planning to arrive, and until how late would you be staying? The place /will/ be closing at 2 AM on the latest, since I'll have to clean up and get some rest before the next regular day..."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm smiles, "No problem.....no problem at all."

He takes another sip.

"And I didn't even think of staff," he pauses for a moment as his head tilts up, "Yes. I think that I would need staff. I knew that I picked the right person."

He pops up from his chair and walks over to his tanning table and grabs his wallet, he walks back and retrieving a card he hands it to her, "You just hold on to that huh er umm...do you need cash."

Then he says, "I would get there early. Do you cater? Could have have catering breakfast, lunch and dinner?"

Vintridr has posed:
    Vintridr ponders the question, clearly on firmer grounds now that the discussion has gotten down to business. "Aside from fresh bagels in the morning, not usually - but I know a caterer in the area that I can talk to. It shouldn't be a problem - although I should warn you that this will most likely cost quite a bit."

    She starts counting off on her fingers. "A full day's exclusive use of the Sacred Grounds, staff at your disposal, catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner..." She pauses. "We have /some/ entertainment facilities, although it's mostly just a Spotify subscription and a number of speakers. If you need more than that, again, it can be arranged but will cost extra. Eviction of paparazzi and other gutter journalist is an on-the-house complimentary service..."

Human Torch has posed:
"OOO ooo Ooo," Johnny snaps and points at her, "Karaoke."

Vintridr has posed:
    "... I don't actually have a karaoke set at the Grounds," Vintridr replies after a moment. "Although I suppose a microphone and a makeshift stage won't be too hard to arrange."

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm nods and smiles again. "Great! I think that's all I'll need."

Vintridr has posed:
    Vintridr nods. "I'll need some time to work out the exact numbers, but a rough estimate of the costs would be..." And she names a number. That's... Not exactly cheap, but probably reasonable given what Johnny's planning to get for his money.

Human Torch has posed:
Johnny Storm simply nods once more, "That sounds great. Thanks for coming down."
