OOC: This could be a thread for two people, or could involve many characters...if you think of one...join in.

The raven-haired beauty sat back in the red leather chair, crossing her shapely legs, and unconscioulsy pulling at the hem of her brown leather skirt. Her nearly black eyes laughed at Philip Textor before the statement had escaped his lips. Her fingers intertiwined in her lap, she leaned back further, suggesting an air of familiarity or comfort in her new surroundings. Never let them feel like their turf is safer for them.
"Forgive me, Mr. Textor, but I think you have me confused with someone else. I haven't been a...magician's assistant in ears. I discarded the peacock dress with my training bra. No, you want me? Then I'm the headliner."
His countenance should have frightened her, but she had been one of the unlucky few whose fears fell by the wayside before the onset of puberty. "Ah, Alexia...I may call you Alexia, Ms. Verdan?" Alexia nodded. "Alexia...I fear it is you who is mistaken."
Textor rose from his desk and circled around it. "I am always the headliner, and all those who...perform for me wear the peacock dress, so to speak." By this time, he was standing in front of her and he held his hands out to help her to her feet.
Alexia obliged the man, and stood. "you, Mr. Textor, are the producer. I am the magician, and all else may wear the dress. This is how I work. Any other chain of command and I'll find other means of employment."
Textor laughed and sat on the corner of his desk. "Ah, a bitch who plays hardball with the big boys. I'll have to take it under advisement, you understand?" His hand cupped her hips and slid up to the underside of her breast.
Alexia removed his hand and turned to walk out the door. "You know how to contact me. Oh, and please remember that even if you find my price tag, you can't touch the merchandise." And in a flash, she was out the door.
Stack was waiting in the car. "So--'d we get the job?" Alexia kissed him deeply and smiled. "It's just a phone call away." As stack drove, she changed from the revealing halter top to a more conservative, sleeveless sweater, and changed from the leather skirt ot jeans. She put her feet on the dash and piled her hair atop her head.
"Stack, honey, you and I are just weeks away from holding the Courtland jewels in our hands."
"Let's just hope Textor doesn't catch you at the switch."
Alexia hit the button to bring the top down on the Eclipse. "I never get caught, baby."
It wasn't a leap, really. Magic to theft. She had never known a magician who hadn't already, or wouldn't in the future deal in the grey shades of theivery. The problem was, most magicians didn't have their eyes on the big prizes. Most were content pick-pocketing their audience or shoplifting from Sax or Barneys. Alexia loved the danger, the adrenaline rush. The money was nice, but the thrill of screwing people--that was orgasmic.
Alexia had grown up among magicians and thieves. Her father had been a mediocre one at best. She was an assistan for five years, but she soon grew weary of being the tits behind the man, and being cut in half wasn't all it was cracked up to be. In those five years, Alexia had learned the tricks of the trade, and discovered that the only things quicker than her hads were her eyes. That would make her the best of the best.
She was soon out of the small-town gigs, into major auditoriums in the important cities across the globe. Until she met Stack Washington, that is. It was he that first thought up the heist at the first museum in Boston. See, stack had his eye on the prize and Alexia knew how to execute. It was a lovely partnership: she got her kicks, he got his money, and they both got laid whenever they wanted.
She glanced at Stack. "The old man wanted to fuck me right there on his desk--he'll call."
"You gonna let him?" She wasn't sure if there was uncharacteristic jealousy behind his eyes. She hoped not. Attachment was not an asset in this life.
"Only if I have to, baby."
