Thread: Modern Day Slavery (Athene & East)

Joslin Indigo Hawthorne September 14th, 2017 2000 PM Mojo's Cafe New Orleans, Louisiana The whistle immediately made Joslin turn her head. She wouldn't have even started assuming from a quick glance whether this had been the right man or not. As such, the subtle gesture towards the name tag was greatly appreciated. A hand covered her mouth as she muffled a chuckle. Given the way he decided to make his identity known and remembering how the ad was worded ... yeah. Joslin had a feeling she'd found her new sugar daddy. Whew, thank you. I was starting to feel a bit more anxious than I already had been. One by one, Joslin would neatly set the driver's license and passport down in front of her, allowing Jace to pick them up and examine them as thoroughly as he needed to. He'd find they were all genuine, as was the information included. Then again, Joslin wasn't one of those younger adults who got into really stupid trouble, like using drugs or whatnot. At worst, a curse word here and there. Even then, though, it was only when she felt it to be appropriate. Hell, it usually was used as an adjective, not even an insult to a person. So as far as she was concerned, the background check part of this job would be one of the simpler things for Jace to perform. The ID from you is definitely appreciated. I was honestly afraid of worse than a drug dealer but ... point made. Her head gently moved from side to side as Joslin heard Jace wanting to ask some questions. Naw. Go for it. Truthfully, I'd be more amazed if you didn't ask anything. I've definitely got my share for sure. When the 'all or nothing' moment arrived, Joslin did contemplate if she wanted to get up and leave. Her nervousness hadn't fully gone away, no. However, now that she had a name, face, and proof this man was for real, she was feeling one hundred times more confident than when they'd spoken over the phone. It was going to be anything linked to the contract and becoming an official servant to this man that would be by far the most intimidating parts of the arrangement. But ... that was otherwise it. No, sir. If I wanted to bail, I would've done that hours ago. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have called in the first place. So first question, what is your plan with the half a million dollars sum total? Her mouth fell agape. Aside from the most obvious answer, Joslin honestly couldn't say she'd planned very far ahead with that answer. Her face flushed in embarrassment when she realized this. Well ... she started, deciding now would be the best time to at least make an effort in - hopefully - giving Jace a good impression. At least a decent one, if not astounding. It's fair to assume I'm in some sorta school. And if that was what you thought from initially seeing me, that's correct. I'm a student at Loyola University, working on a Psychology major. While I do have some scholarships helping me pay for college, there are more loans. Money that needs to be given back than what I'm earning from the government. So finally being able to pay that off will be a good chunk of what the money's used for. That, however, will definitely not be all of it. She paused, trying do some quick mental math in her head. With any luck, I shouldn't need much too much more than two hundred thousand to deal with the university fees and such. After that? Joslin stopped again. Now came the hardest part everything she hadn't originally planned for. ... Though I do - as you can see - have the means to drive, I can't say I have a vehicle. I haven't been able to get one since obtaining the license, and my parents are struggling enough as it is. So I didn't get a car for a typical high school graduation gift. That, thus, will very likely be something to look into getting. Hmm. Maybe a more permanent place, I suppose. The dorms and stuff are nice and all. But a home -or at least some place I don't have to pay rent because it's mine and I permanently own it - would be nice. Sure, it'd have bills. But she'd be months ahead of time in being able to take care of those with half a million dollars. I suppose the long and short end of my answer, really, is anything to help get my life and probably my parents a bit more stable. Secured. Easier, you know? Probably not perfect, no. But better than how it's been in some number of years, most definitely. ... Was there even a wrong answer to this question? Joslin had already been introduced to a few of those in some of her classes, where there was no incorrect response. But this? This was so different. And for all she knew, she may have just blown her opportunity and lost the chance to even prove herself. She probably sounded really greedy, if not that plus snobby. Hopefully, however, the fact she did have good intentions would make her desire for the money more .... tolerable? Oh Lord. Please don't tell me I've fucked up. I literally can't afford it ...
