Amanda is in the bar late tonight. Sipping her strawberry smoothie she is over by the observation window. Not on a couch or chair but on the floor. Reviewing alot of papers. She doesn't seem to be aware of the time.

Come poke as you desire.

As you Desire?
As you wish!

There's an immortal (of sorts) behind Amanda -- not that this is the kind that will either give her warning of approach or attempt to claim her head.

Desire peers over Amanda's bent head, attempting to see what research has her so entralled. It doesn't look terribly interesting from here...

What it looks like are blueprints. Blueprints to a multiple story building that may house a precious jewel that she is planing on relieving the museum of ownership.

The things that her friends can talk her into doing in order to distract her from woe.

So engorssed in her work she doesn't so much notice the endless behind her is recognize a familiar feeling. Turning around the immortal looks up at sees someone standing there. This person looks familiar though she can't quite place the face, "Do I know you?"

"We've never been introduced," Desire advises, cheerfully studying the schematics. "But I'm quite sure we've met in passing before, Amanda -- Especially not living as long as you have."

Amanda looks up at the endless. He/she/it looks male with dark hair wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Very handsome. "Well it seems that you have me at an advantage" in more ways then one. "You know my name but I don't yet know yours." Sitting up straight and facing the familiar yet strange person.

Desire seats himself across from her, holding out his hand -- in all appearances, looking to shake hers. When she offers hers, however, the gentleman turns his hand to lift hers, planting a light kiss on its back. "Enchanté, Mademoiselle. I am Desire."

Amanda smiles, "Yes you are." not that the endless needs the confirmation but Amanda has met an endless before. Not that it means she is prepared for Desire but at least she vaguely understands the concept.

"It is a pleasure to meet you in person."

"The pleasure is mine, I assure you." Desire grins rogueishly, letting her reclaim her hand -- and steals another glance at the blueprints. "Quite the project you have here, Mademoiselle LeFauve -- Pardonnez-moi. It's Darieux now, is it not?"

"Currently Montrose actually. But please call me Amanda." No she isn't suprised that Desire knows her names. And yes she has had many. "Yes well I think my friend was trying to help distract me." grinning, "It seems to have worked. It's quite the challenge." sparring a glance back at the blueprints.

The Endless are good at that: Many years ago, before she died, Morpheus listed off the many names of Ishtar -- of course, whether he really didn't remember or if he'd managed the wrong names on purpose could still be up for debate.
As for Desire? The Endless nods amiably. "Whatever you want. Amanda."
Be flattered this one paid enough attention to catch that many names. Desire is a creature of the moment, and usually only interested in things relating to his games.

Speaking of games... Desire points at the blueprints, and leans forward to ask in low tones. "A heist, then?"

Desire does make Amanda smile. "Yes but there is so much that my heart desires." yes she figures that Desire knows this. And some of them are rather conflicting.

Ooh a wickedly brilliant smile, "Yes. My friend and I are planning on playing tomorrow." Her body is a buzz in anticipation.

[OOC: you might be interested in reading this (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/10429138.html) conversation.]

"Excellent!" Desire claps once and rubs his hands together, anticipatorily. "And the target?"

The Endless doesn't address what her heart desires, at the moment.

[ OOC: Sorry, dear -- Momentarily side-tracked over here. Was trying to come up with more for you! ]

Only because she knows that it's something desire would appriciate she goes ahead and tells him, because at present Desire appears to be male. "The Dresden Green Diamond (http://famousdiamonds.tripod.com/dresdengreendiamond.html)"

Like she said there are many. Strahan, Lobo, Serena better, to be good, to be bad, TO HAVE A FAMILY, and so much more.

Desire can certainly help with the being bad part: After all, he aims to misbehave. He lets out a low whistle at the mention of the Dresden Green. (Never mind that Desire has something comprably green, sparkly and heart-shaped in his jacket's pocket.)

"Ambitious. I like it. And the security systems?"

"Tight. But I think we can get through them. We'll take a trip to get a visual inspection of the security systems tomorrow. The diamond is in Germany so we'll fly there, take a look around, finish the planning and then go in. It will take about a week back home so about half a day in Milliways assuming the time difference stays constant." Interestingly enough it's not the diamond that she desires but the freedom if it.

[OOC: mun cowers.]

Desire offers Amanda another wicked grin. "That's going to be quite the story. Promise you'll tell me about it when you're back?"

After all, it's not as if Desire's in on the plot.
Much.
Well, aside from the desire for a good thrill.
And never mind that he looks as amused and eager for it as Amanda.

[OOC: Fixed a typo, since I'm apparently reversing words today.]

"Of course." grins all around as Amanda can feel her own ecxitement building. "I should be fairly easy to find and I will certainally keep my eye out for you." well he is pleasent on the eyes afterall.

"Ah! Then I will look forward to the telling." Desire shifts back and stands, offering Amanda a small bow and a wink. "And I will let you return to your planning. Bon chance, Mademoiselle -- not that you need it."

Flirtatiously, he blows another kiss and turns away, reaching into his pocket as he walks off into the crowd.

There might be a glitter of green tossed about in his hand.
