Autumn nodded as she too headed to the far side of the bar to stand with Vanessa. It was an awesome throw and there was a surprised round of applause and some generally impressed nodding of approval from the small crowd that was now being entertained by the match. The Turk hated to disappoint the crowd and she rolled the two darts between her fingers thoughtfully as she eyed the target. This match would be over soon… one way or another.
Her Double Cut materia glowed as she flicked her wrist, throwing both darts at once and aiming for the bullseye. One of the darts hit the red circle right below Vanessa’s last shot. The other landed just on the line between the bullseye and the next ring out.
“Darn it!” Autumn snapped her fingers as a sheepish grin tugged at the corners of her lips, “That was going to be really cool.”

Vanessa patted autumn on the back "that was cool honestly" she assured her before looking at mike "so mike whats the verdict?" she asked the bartender who had been keeping track the entire game "the winner issssss..." he started leaving people with baited breath "a draw!"
Autumn grinned at the announcement that it had been a draw. At least she hadn’t lost! Vanessa was a really skilled rival. Better than she’d seen in a long time… Her work started to melt into her play as she considered trying to recruit the sharpshooter into the turks.
“So… you move around a lot.” Autumn picked up the conversation as she moved towards a table in the far corner, “Is that in search of work or do you just have restless feet?”

Vanessa walked with her to a table in the far corner "i guess you could say i have restless feet, Shin-Ra and avalanche have tried hiring me but they havent shown me actions speak louder than words you know?" so i guess you could say im looking for work but at the same time i want to make sure if its a group theyve proved what they advertised you know?" she replied
“Mmm…” Autumn nodded pensively. “You know what talks loudest in my opinion? Gil. There are a lot of people that live quite comfortably in this city and that’s because of Shin-ra.”
There was a lot wrong with her uncle’s company. Autumn knew that. She didn’t know why she felt the need to come to the defense of a mega corporation but here we were and she didn’t know how Vanessa would react to that.
“I’m offering you a job if you want it… It’d be great to work with you and you obviously have some amazing skills. That’s not why I came here tonight though and I won’t be offended if it’s a no right now. It’s just something to think about.”

Vanessa looked at Autumn resting her elbbows on the table, unfortunetly her friend had a point: gil in the end did speak the loudest in society and she did feel her gil becoming empty, taking a deep breath she looked her in the eyes she could tell that her friend wasnt trying to pull anything "ill accept your offer but i have the condition that if you guys dont hold up your end of the deal and slack off just because i join then im leaving thats my only condition, you keep up your end and ill keep up mine as long as you dont slack off deal?"
Autumn grinned at Vanessa. “Not a problem. Shin-ra rewards loyalty. I can guarantee that you’ll always have work when you want it and we’ll match any offer you might get from anyone else.”
She knew these mercenary types and she wanted to try and prevent such a skilled aim from taking jobs with other factions. If Avalanche offered her more Gil to betray them, Shin-ra would just have to up their pay. Autumn held out her hand to shake her new friend’s, “Do we have an agreement?”

vanessa smiled as she shook her friends hand and nodded "we have an agreement" she said resting her pistol on the table obviously a six shooter revolver but thats been modified to shoot both materia and regular rounds
“Beautiful.” Autumn commented on the revolver that had been placed on the table. She pulled out her own pistol and carefully showed it was not loaded before placing it on the table as well. Her weapon had only a single materia linked to it. “I’ve never seen one with that capability before.”
“Now that we’re in business, I can put our drinks on the company tab. Would you care for a late night tour of our headquarters?”

"it was a special request to be modified to my taste so instead of shooting just regular six round bullets i could shoot either materia or regular bullets" she explained examining autumns pistol "special made as well?" she asked curiously "that would be a good idea so i dont get lost in our headquarters" she nodded
