WHO: Bela and a few closed starters
WHERE: In various places
WHEN: First 2 weeks of June
WHAT: Plotting, scheming and a friendly visit
WARNINGS: None as yet but will update!

Snart: Somewhere discreet...

Snart wasn't wrong when it came to meeting up somewhere secret and not on the radar. Their plans were not to be overheard by anyone else. While she waits on his arrival Bela orders a few drinks, knowing what Snart liked; aside from that, it was a gesture of good faith from her. They were partnering up after all. Whatever trust there may be between them had to be maintained if this was going to work.

In the bag at Bela's feet there were a few blueprints and plans for the heist. Kept out of sight from prying eyes or curious members of staff. She won't take them out of their hiding places unless it was absolutely necessary - Bela had a encrypted back up on her device which she could just as easily send to Leonard.

Bela settles back in her seat and crosses one leg over the other, lifting her glass to take a sip. She's rather relaxed considering the circumstances. But the prospect of a heist and the rewards that came with it always seemed to have a soothing effect upon her soul.

Gemini: Of plans and diamonds...

Bela waited until her apartment was free from her roommate before calling Gemini over for a discussion. The De Chima diamond exhibit was due to end in a few days so they needed to act quickly if they were going to have a chance of obtaining a big score. She knew of her own skills and expertise (as well as her powers) but Bela had no idea of what exactly Gemini was capable of. At least from their brief text exchange she could tell that the other woman was keen and wanted to work with her. Maybe that would have to be enough.

There's a pot of tea and two cups laid out on the coffee table in the living room. Perhaps she should have asked Gemini what she preferred to drink but surely she wouldn't refuse a decent cup of tea.

Already, Bela has a few ideas in mind about the best way to approach the heist but she would welcome any suggestions that Gemini may have. They were working together on this after all.

Enid: Catching up and jewellery...

Enid was one of a handful of people that Bela was friends with. She wouldn't have imagined being on good terms with a teenage girl, but then Bela didn’t expect to have any friends at all in this place. There was just something about Enid that Bela seemed to connect with and it seemed stupid to ignore.

She called at Enid's place a little after six o'clock in the evening with a few bags in her hand. Gifts mostly. Bela knocked on the door softly a few times, waiting patiently for it to be answered. She had yet to have any dinner so perhaps they could order some takeout for themselves - Bela's treat of course. She wouldn’t let Enid pay for anything.

Bela had high hopes for their evening, whatever it turned out to be.

The place was actually small enough to get basic idea of once through the door. The kitchen was just to their immediate right with a sofa making and completing the entire room just above it, and the washroom and bedroom doors in that order to the left. There was a desk just in between everything. Different boxes were neatly stacked upon each other and organized all sorts of items away, and there on the desk itself laid a few balls of yarn and her recent, yet unfinished projects.

Enid knows that's why Bella is here and wastes no time closing the door behind them and gesturing her over, casually. "It was a long time coming." She feels too long. Bella is someone she trusts more than most and that deserved this show of friendship.

As small as it was, the place was fit for purpose. It also showed some elements of Enid's personality and taste; like it should. Bela tried to do the same for her own place, even when she shared with someone else. Having a roommate wasn't so bad.

She follows Enid further into the house before coming to a stop somewhere in the middle of the main room. "Looks like you've got a lot of supplies. Which hopefully means a lot of orders."

The last part is said with a smile.

It wasn't the only place she lived, but it was the most private. Maybe a lot of her clothes weren't here anymore, maybe most of her things were elsewhere, but enough still remained in her minimalistic style of living that some of it could be gleamed. Her choices of beading and current projects were perhaps more telling of her style.

"Something like that. I don't make the same thing twice, but I make the number they want to sell."

She returns the smile with a light one of her own.

"Ah, so you like to be very unique when it comes to your products. I like it."

Bela finds a free spot to place the bags she had brought and opens them up, taking out what was inside. There are numerous gift boxes of various shapes and styles- all for Enid's business.

"These are for your customers. If you want to put your pieces into gift boxes of course. I just thought it might be an idea. I also have something for you. If that's okay."

"Mmhm. It's the same thing I do for my jewelry."

Bela may even notice the necklace Enid was wearing that very moment. It had the strange key she always wore on it but was accompanied by other strange charms and clunky piece of wood shaped like a feather. She joins Bela on the free cushion next to her. There were more gifts being pulled out of the bag than she excepted so she looks down at them with geniune surprise.

"Y-you didn't have to do all this for me. But, um, yes, it's okay. How can I say no?"

She had noticed the necklace earlier, wondering if the design had a particular significance for Enid. Did it remind her of something? In any case, it was an interesting looking piece of jewelry.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was happy to do it." Bela wasn't in the habit of doing nice things for people so this was a nice change. After a moment she took out another small box and presented it over to Enid. Inside, she would find this.

"I don't know if you even like brooches but it's from my shop. I thought it was pretty."
