“mad..aga..scar? That sounds real swell already!” Dio listened thoughtfully until he'd finished with the briefing of Madagascar. “so what ya sayin' in a nutshell is that we're gonna see some really god-damn weird stuff out there that ain't gonna be seen anywhere else.. and we also run the risk of coming into conntact with savages that may wanna eat our brains and flesh.. is that what ya saying?” Dio asks in a very calm tone of voice.<br/><br/>Johnny smiled his handsome grin when Dio tried to pronounce the name of the island nation. "Well yes....Aaah as for heathen natives, sure there might be a few, A sect of them call themselves the 'Megot Vessual' They are cannibals but I have no plans on running into any of them. We will rendezvous in Madagascar's capital city and find a local guide to lead us into the bush, although they're African, the urbanized ones are fairly civil so we shouldn't have too much of a problem.<br/><br/>“and we're doing this 'cause of a rumor that might not even be true, but if it is some fat cat's gonna pay us alotta cash?” Dio grins. “I'mma so glad I signed up for this job!”<br/><br/>"Well, not so fast there little buddy....That aforementioned fat cat isn't going to pay 'US' cash....He's gonna pay me cash. You are on your trial run, NO PAY, until after you've proven your worth. All your food and lodging will be paid for, but you're going to have to put in your time before I pay you anything. If you do well on this mission, The next one, I'll see about cutting you in 1.5% share. I know it don't sound like much but when you see how much we'll be raking in, I am sure you'll be just fine with it." Johnny said, correcting Dio before he got the wrong idea.<br/><br/>“oh Nazi's, ain't they them German people ruled by that guy with the funny little mustache? Why would they wanna come after us?” Dio asked pensively.<br/><br/>"Yes well apparently fascists just seem to get a kick out of killing anyone that gets in their way....I don't foresee it being a huge obstacle, but they are very fascinated with ancient relics and this Golden Lionhead might just be enough to perk their interests. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. " Johnny said in a calm, cool and collected tone.<br/><br/><br/>"So that should sum it up. We'll be leaving on my private plane tomorrow and the gear still needs to be packed. That would be your job, as I have dinner plans with Miss Wiggins tonight. After you pack, You'll find a cot in the back room, you can feel free to make yourself at home, but I wouldn't wait up too late, I hope to be spending the night at her apartment....If you get my meaning!" Johnny said with a slick smile and a nudge to Dio's shoulder. "Also if you get done early, feel free to leaf through my library, you might be able to familiarize yourself with local customs which might aid us." Johnny put in and then called out of the office to Renee.<br/><br/>"Alright dear, would you be so kind as to show Dio where the gear is so he can start packing! And then I want you to get all dressed up because I plan on showing you the whole town tonight my dear!" Johnny said.<br/><br/>Renee stood from her desk, she neither looked enthused or terribly rushed. She slowly sauntered over and wiggled her finger to Dio. "Right this way cutie!" She said and then led the young man back toward one of the storage rooms. When she opened the door, Dio saw an incredible plethora of assorted adventuring supplies. The room was packed with all sorts of things that made one's imagination swirl with possibilities as to what could be accomplished with this sort of gear. Renee pulled a paper from her clipboard and handed it to Dio. "This is the list of stuff we'll need, I know it's long and some of the stuff is bulky, but your tasked with efficiently packing it all into these two travel trunks. I know it seems impossible but it can be done, so good luck!" Renee finished and strode back out of the room after another quick swat on Dio's well formed bottom.<br/><br/>"Alright kiddo! have fun, Like I said don't wait up for me!" Johnny called out as he tried to put his arm around Renee's shoulder. She brushed it off and soon they were in the freight elevator and headed downstairs, leaving Dio to fend for himself.
