Welcome to Gaia! ::

Solia knew that if she asked Sam, her senpai might be grouchy and tell her she wasn't ready yet and Sam was a very busy lady who had more important things to do than answer trainee questions.

Mark however?

The young death trainee was pretty sure an offering of avenger cookies and coffee that wasn't runic was a very good form of bribery. Plus... it was Mark. Mark was weird but he was pretty smart and awesome and was also a self proclaimed jedi and jedi were obligated to help. That was her line of thought at least. Plus he always seemed to be dicking around anyway. Cookies in the shape of faces- avengers faces- painfully traced onto them in hand, she was ready. She even got some money just in case he wanted that too.

She could do this. She'd get the goods. The deets. The answers.

Maybe.

Skipping down to the room known as the lair of Mark, she knocked on his door then pulling out her cellphone, playing back a recording. "Mark the awesomenator sir, I'd like to speak with you."

.....You are serenading him? Singing works better.
No, I am trying to lure him out.
Like you do with wild animals.
.............yes.
Makes sense.

Solia internally fist pumped the air. It worked. Step one: Summon Mark, complete. Now onto step two, getting the goods. It would be a delicate process, one that required tact and cunning.

"I did indeed! I have a great need of your knowledge Sir Mark the Awesomenator Sir, about some secrets." She not to subtlety motioned to the brand on her wrist. "And I have brought payment for such answers once they have been provided. An equal exchange, just like alchemy. Only this kind doesn't kill anyone and is delicious."

Solia wasn't tactful or very cunning, at least not then.

She eyed his 'office' last she'd seen, it had been messy and gross.
"I also take it if we do discuss this, it will require the utmost secrecy." She willing herself to be ready.
Braced herself.
For stale pizza and booze stench was coming possibly.
