  1. [2015-11-09 20:02:44] <Antioch|GM> It's midday, the day after you and Maia went to speak with Wink.
  2. [2015-11-09 20:03:31] <Antioch|GM> The two of you are in the office with some good news, for once - Haddon's back in business. A few physicals from The Good King to go through, and he'll be back in time for a celebratory bar crawl by the time night falls.
  3. [2015-11-09 20:04:35] <Antioch|GM> The city's picking back up the pieces, slowly but surely, and even though it's gonna take a hell of a while to do so, you can see things starting to move, headed back to normal.
  4. [2015-11-09 20:05:03] <Antioch|GM> First sign of normalcy? Missing cat case.
  5. [2015-11-09 20:06:06] <Antioch|GM> You're looking at Oreo's sparse dossier, less so at the details and moreso reveling at the comfort of the sheer familiarity symbolized by the dumb, frankly silly case.
  6. [2015-11-09 20:07:12] <Antioch|GM> 'course, shit like this never lasts - the doors burst open, a girl about your height, blond hair down past shoulder-length, ends fraying, looking thinner than a twig - she runs through the door, shoving it open, and doubles over, panting for breath.
  7. [2015-11-09 20:08:14] <Antioch|GM> It's had to catch what she's saying, between the wheezes, but you think she's saying, "Bo— boss..." ||
  8. [2015-11-09 20:10:11] <Bel|Dags> I jump out of my chair and rush over, pulling her up by her shoulders.
  9. [2015-11-09 20:10:56] <Bel|Dags> "Hey now, hey, look at me, what's up, what is it?" Dammit dammit dammit.
  10. [2015-11-09 20:12:10] <Bel|Dags> As I try and get her coherent, I spare a glance or two at the door behind her. Not many people think of the HPIA as the first place to turn to in an emergency, and if she needed help, it wouldn't be pretty. ||
  11. [2015-11-09 20:13:26] <Antioch|GM> Maia looks panicked, even moreso when the girl raises one hand from bracing her knee to point accusatorily at her.
  12. [2015-11-09 20:13:49] <Antioch|GM> "Wh- where in the HELL did you vanish to?" ||
  13. [2015-11-09 20:14:16] → lostavocado joined (lostavocado@net-t3655n.bigpond.net.au)
  14. [2015-11-09 20:15:17] <Bel|Dags> I immediately back off, looking back and forth between Maia and this woman. This is so far out of my league... If the feces hits the rotating air circulator, do I even stand a chance?
  15. [2015-11-09 20:16:05] <Bel|Dags> "Well now, uh, let's, um, take it easy, yeah? All friends, all friends here." ||
  16. [2015-11-09 20:18:11] <Antioch|GM> Maia composes herself, getting out of her office seat, but you can't help but notice that she's unsteady on her feet as she rises.
  17. [2015-11-09 20:18:53] <Antioch|GM> She puts a hand on the girl's shoulder - there's a slight flinch, there, but no recoil - and looks you dead in the eye.
  18. [2015-11-09 20:19:00] <Antioch|GM> "... mind if I field this one?" ||
  19. [2015-11-09 20:23:52] <Bel|Dags> I put my hands up in a placating gesture and slowly back into my office. "Be my guest. You know where to find me." After firmly shutting the door, I hastily unholster my Peacemaker and start rummaging through the Black Cabinet, setting the handgun on the thing for safe keeping. Who the hell was this woman? I've got to have something, I always have something... As I dig, I try to keep an ear out towards what's happening in the office. I might
  20. [2015-11-09 20:23:52] <Bel|Dags> have time to dive behind the desk if it goes south. ||
  21. [2015-11-09 20:24:35] <Antioch|GM> As you leave for your office, Maia unlocks Kusakabe's empty office, and relocates, along with the newcomer, to there.
  22. [2015-11-09 20:24:52] <Antioch|GM> The door clicks shut, and then you enter your office as well.
  23. [2015-11-09 20:25:20] <Antioch|GM> Despite the two doors interposed between you, you're still able to hear snippets of the subsequent shouting match.
  24. [2015-11-09 20:26:06] <Antioch|GM> "— JUST UP AND FUCKING VANISH —"
  25. [2015-11-09 20:26:14] <Antioch|GM> "— ONE AND A HALF MONTHS?!"
  26. [2015-11-09 20:26:30] <Antioch|GM> "— CITY — TRASHED —"
  27. [2015-11-09 20:26:42] <Antioch|GM> "— I FUCKING FIND YOU HERE?!"
  28. [2015-11-09 20:27:06] <Antioch|GM> It seems pretty one-sided, you don't hear Maia's voice.
  29. [2015-11-09 20:27:24] <Antioch|GM> The blonde's voice gets hoarser, cracking, but you realize that her voice was already pretty ragged from the outset. ||
  30. [2015-11-09 20:30:27] <Bel|Dags> With what should be the relevant files located in the convoluted filing scheme, I take a second to pour a tall glass of whatever I grab first from the desk drawer. This could be a long one. ||
  31. [2015-11-09 20:32:50] <Antioch|GM> You polish one of your lowball glasses on the shelf with a felt cloth, pouring yourself some of your nicer Scotch.
  32. [2015-11-09 20:33:06] <Antioch|GM> Glenfiddich 15, neat. The situation seems to merit it.
  33. [2015-11-09 20:33:47] <Antioch|GM> "— NOT EVEN TWENTY-ONE?!"
  34. [2015-11-09 20:33:52] <Antioch|GM> "— CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE —"
  35. [2015-11-09 20:34:02] <Antioch|GM> You take a big sip. ||
  36. [2015-11-09 20:36:31] <Bel|Dags> Halfway through that sip, I pause. 'Not even twenty-one'? I don't need to be a genius to figure that one out, but... really? No...
  37. [2015-11-09 20:36:44] <Bel|Dags> I double down on the sip. The situation seems to merit it. ||
  38. [2015-11-09 20:38:12] <Antioch|GM> "— ALL JUST A FUCKING GAME TO YOU?!"

  42. [2015-11-09 20:39:04] <Antioch|GM> "— IN SOME FUCKING CREEP-ASS CHINESE PRISON WHILE YOU —"
  43. [2015-11-09 20:39:10] <Antioch|GM> You top off your glass. ||
  44. [2015-11-09 20:39:41] <Bel|Dags> Ohhhhh boy.
  45. [2015-11-09 20:40:22] <Bel|Dags> I reholster the pistol and get started on the second glass. If I'm going to need to intervene, I'm not doing it sober. ||
  46. [2015-11-09 20:47:33] <Antioch|GM> You hear the door to Kusakabe's office click open.
  47. [2015-11-09 20:48:10] <Antioch|GM> Maia's more audible here, and she sounds like she's backing off, trying unsuccessfully to de-escalate the situation.
  48. [2015-11-09 20:48:49] <Antioch|GM> "I was looking for you!" She's pleading earnestly, though the panic in her tone is evident.
  49. [2015-11-09 20:49:08] <Antioch|GM> "Why else do you think I shacked up with a fucking detective agency?!" ||
  50. [2015-11-09 20:49:37] <Bel|Dags> I throw open the door as hard as I can. Hopefully the bang will startle them into listening. ||
  51. [2015-11-09 20:50:48] <Antioch|GM> You slam open the door - the loud rattle sends Maia to a start, and she jumps back slightly in alarm.
  52. [2015-11-09 20:51:07] <Antioch|GM> The blonde girl remains unperturbed by the slam, but the conversation grinds to a halt nonetheless.
  53. [2015-11-09 20:51:56] <Antioch|GM> You're greeted by a tableau, Maia about five feet away, arms in front her in some vaguely defensive posture, while the blonde girl brandishes one of the sharpened pencils swiped from Kusakabe's desk. ||
  54. [2015-11-09 20:52:36] <Bel|Dags> Woof. Not quite what I wanted, but we'll give it a go.
  55. [2015-11-09 20:57:26] <Bel|Dags> "Ladies. It's been a rough day." I brandish the bottle of Glenfiddich. "How long has it been since you had a drink? Too long, I wager." Keeping my voice smooth and calm, ignoring the pencil wielded like a knife by a likely parahuman, ignoring unshakeable Maia's panic... Just get her to talk to me. One step at a time. ||
  56. [2015-11-09 20:58:49] <Antioch|GM> Maia looks at you weakly, almost gratefully. "Please."
  57. [2015-11-09 20:59:21] <Antioch|GM> The other girl glares at you, and growls, "Butt out, guy." ||
  58. [2015-11-09 21:03:07] <Bel|Dags> I hold the bottle out low and placating, hopefully distracting her slightly.
  59. [2015-11-09 21:06:22] <Firlz|Khandhas> ...
  60. [2015-11-09 21:06:34] <Bel|Dags> "Ma'am, all I'm trying to do is help out someone who needs it. It's all I do. And right now, that someone looks like she could use a drink." ||
  61. [2015-11-09 21:07:53] <Firlz|Khandhas> Khandhas manages to walk in at this very unfortunate moment, running in with a clone "Is everything okay? I heard yelling." one of them says looking at the situation.
  62. [2015-11-09 21:08:08] <Firlz|Khandhas> ||
  63. [2015-11-09 21:10:00] <Antioch|GM> Khandhas walks in, greeted by the same scene. The two girls' attention shift to him.
  64. [2015-11-09 21:11:01] <Antioch|GM> Maia turns to Dags, gratefully accepting the drink, while the blonde girl addresses the recently entered Khandhas.
  65. [2015-11-09 21:11:35] <Antioch|GM> "Look, dude, I appreciate everything you've done for me, but this isn't really your business, okay?" ||
  66. [2015-11-09 21:12:29] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Uh, I was just gonna check to see what the sitch with Haddon was, he was in that big fight wasn't he?" Looking at what's going on "If I'd known you were gonna murder thee new secretary with a pencil, I might have had second thoughts, though..."||
  67. [2015-11-09 21:12:49] <Bel|Dags> ...
  68. [2015-11-09 21:14:52] <Bel|Dags> "Nobody's murdering anybody in my office, not without sitting down to talk about it first." I reach to the right of the door for the glasses I keep stacked in case of visitors and brandish one in each hand.
  69. [2015-11-09 21:15:23] <Bel|Dags> "We can pull up a chair, hash this out? I have wine or vodka too, whatever floats your boat." ||
  70. [2015-11-09 21:16:38] <Antioch|GM> Maia takes a quick pull from your glass, slumping back into her seat.
  71. [2015-11-09 21:17:23] <Antioch|GM> The girl throws the pencil onto the ground, huffing, before putting her head in the now-open hand.
  72. [2015-11-09 21:17:33] <Antioch|GM> "... I straight up cannot fucking believe this." ||
  73. [2015-11-09 21:18:35] <Bel|Dags> ...
  74. [2015-11-09 21:22:06] <Bel|Dags> Moving quickly but confidently, I drag some chairs out from the offices for the new visitors, as well as a half-empty pint of cherry vodka and the bottle of wine I don't remember buying. I set the liquor on Maia's desk and offer glasses to the girl and the man in the motorcycle helmet.
  75. [2015-11-09 21:22:53] <Bel|Dags> Once everyone's situated, I lean against the door jamb of my office and swirl my third glass of Glenfiddich happily.
  76. [2015-11-09 21:23:43] <Bel|Dags> "Now, isn't that better? I'm Robert Tanner, but you can call me Dags if you want. What's your name?" ||
  77. [2015-11-09 21:24:24] <Antioch|GM> ...
  78. [2015-11-09 21:25:16] <Antioch|GM> The blonde-haired girl looks Dags straight on, still looking monumentally pissed.
  79. [2015-11-09 21:25:28] <Antioch|GM> "I'm Royal Flush."
  80. [2015-11-09 21:25:30] <Antioch|GM> Maia groans. ||
  81. [2015-11-09 21:26:49] <Bel|Dags> ...
  82. [2015-11-09 21:27:58] → TFS joined (TFwhotookmy@net-ld5usc.range86-145.btcentralplus.com)
  83. [2015-11-09 21:35:49] <Bel|Dags> "Good to meet you, Royal Flush." Time to practice keeping that straight face. Oh Dags, you don't drop that straight face, not for a second. Don't let them see those gears turning.
  84. [2015-11-09 21:36:17] <Bel|Dags> Maia isn't Royal Flush. Okay. This woman is. I can work with that.
  85. [2015-11-09 21:37:36] <Bel|Dags> "She," gesturing towards Maia, names are a touchy subject suddenly, "talked a lot about you. We just went on a fact-finding trip the other day, even, isn't that right?"
  86. [2015-11-09 21:37:58] <Bel|Dags> Pass the ball to Maia, get her involved in a safe way, defuse, don't think about it. I can handle this. I take another sip. ||
  87. [2015-11-09 21:39:02] <Antioch|GM> She nods, pained.
  88. [2015-11-09 21:39:53] <Antioch|GM> "I told you, I was trying to find you guys, okay?!"
  89. [2015-11-09 21:40:33] <Antioch|GM> She's tearing up, and it's creeping into her voice.
  90. [2015-11-09 21:40:44] <Antioch|GM> "God, sorry I'm not as SMART as you!"
  91. [2015-11-09 21:41:19] <Antioch|GM> She swipes the glass from the table, spilling a bit, knocking down the remainder of the scotch and slamming it back on the table so hard a small sheaf of paperwork slides to the floor. ||

  93. [2015-11-09 21:41:39] <Firlz|Khandhas> ....
  94. [2015-11-09 21:43:15] <Firlz|Khandhas> Khandhas, still not really having a grasp of what the fuck is going on does his best to be small and unobtrusive so that people won't draw their attention to him. Apparently deciding to save himself a trip backfired spectacularly.||
  95. [2015-11-09 21:43:40] <Bel|Dags> ...
  96. [2015-11-09 21:47:44] <Bel|Dags> "I'm glad to hear you made it out," I say quietly. "We've been looking for over a month and only getting scraps, as far as I know you're the only one to manage it."
  97. [2015-11-09 21:48:59] <Bel|Dags> "Anything you can tell us, anything at all, we can use to help the others get out too." Take a sip off that glass, I'll need it. ||
  98. [2015-11-09 21:52:26] <Antioch|GM> She shakes her head.
  99. [2015-11-09 21:52:50] * Dolyn is now known as Dol|AFK
  100. [2015-11-09 21:53:08] <Antioch|GM> "I was one of the last people to get out. All of the 14K's capes, except for that fucked up maze Shaker, flew the coop, stuffed all the guys into vans."
  101. [2015-11-09 21:54:19] <Antioch|GM> She jabs a thumb at Khandhas. "He managed to bust in right before they were about to ship me off, kept, like, twenty fucking goons busy while covering my escape, and YOU?!"
  102. [2015-11-09 21:54:39] <Antioch|GM> She's striding up to Maia's desk as she says this, ending the sentence by pounding both fists on the desk.
  103. [2015-11-09 21:54:58] <Antioch|GM> "The fuck did YOU do for me, huh?!" ||
  104. [2015-11-09 21:55:16] <Bel|Dags> ...
  105. [2015-11-09 21:55:34] <Bel|Dags> "She kept the torch lit."
  106. [2015-11-09 21:56:26] <Bel|Dags> I stare into my glass pensively. "She's the reason that you can sit easy in this room, knowing that at least one person is going to die before anyone can do that to you ever again."
  107. [2015-11-09 21:59:06] <Bel|Dags> I look up. "There's a lot of fucked up shit in this city. I've seen damn near all of it. And I can promise you've always got a place here, where if they want to touch you they'll have to get through me, and the police, and as many scum sucking mobsters as I can find. There's a lot of mobsters."
  108. [2015-11-09 21:59:20] <Bel|Dags> I take a sip. "You're welcome." ||
  109. [2015-11-09 22:01:02] <Antioch|GM> Royal Flush turns on a dime, facing you rapidly.
  110. [2015-11-09 22:01:06] <Antioch|GM> "Really, pal?"
  111. [2015-11-09 22:01:23] <Antioch|GM> "You even KNOW who you're stickin' up for?" ||
  112. [2015-11-09 22:02:03] <Bel|Dags> "She's done alright by me. That's enough." ||
  113. [2015-11-09 22:03:44] * Empy|Daniel is now known as Empy
  114. [2015-11-09 22:04:45] <Antioch|GM> "She's been fucking USING you, numbskull!" ||
  115. [2015-11-09 22:05:35] <Bel|Dags> "Yeah."
  116. [2015-11-09 22:06:28] <Bel|Dags> I turn towards Maia. "Speaking of, are you going to want that raise, or should I put up the 'help wanted' signs again? Haddon normally handles that, but I'm sure I can hold it down until he gets back." ||
  117. [2015-11-09 22:07:17] <Antioch|GM> It's silent, awkwardly long before Maia responds.
  118. [2015-11-09 22:07:25] <Antioch|GM> "Gimme -" she sniffs, "- gimme some time to think about it, okay?"
  119. [2015-11-09 22:07:56] <Antioch|GM> "What, is that fucking IT?" Royal Flush seems to only be getting further agitated. ||
  120. [2015-11-09 22:10:53] <Bel|Dags> "Sounds like it. Unless you want some help finding a place to stay while you figure out your next move?"
  121. [2015-11-09 22:12:59] <Bel|Dags> I polish off my glass. "Obviously your teammates are somewhere. Most I can do is keep looking. If they're really shipping out, I'll head in tonight with backup, clean it out, find what I can. Sometimes people are sloppy. But life goes on. We do what we can. It's gotta be enough." ||
  122. [2015-11-09 22:13:13] <Firlz|Khandhas> ...
  123. [2015-11-09 22:14:07] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Uh you might want to make a call to whoever your borgata contact is first. They looked like they were raiding the place when we left. I doubt you want to step on Pizza's toes."||
  124. [2015-11-09 22:16:09] <Antioch|GM> Maia stops sniffling long enough to say her piece.
  125. [2015-11-09 22:16:12] <Bel|Dags> "Pizzicato can eat a dick. But I'll get in touch." ||
  126. [2015-11-09 22:16:56] <Antioch|GM> "Look, for... for what it's worth. I know I tried, and I know I did a wash-up job of it."
  127. [2015-11-09 22:17:04] <Antioch|GM> She pauses to rub her eyes for a moment.
  128. [2015-11-09 22:17:13] <Antioch|GM> "For what it's worth...? I'm sorry." ||
  129. [2015-11-09 22:18:01] <Firlz|Khandhas> ...
  130. [2015-11-09 22:18:32] <Firlz|Khandhas> Knowing that it might just bring a world of hurt on him from Royal for saying it, Khandhas has a hard time not chiming in to defend a crying woman.
  131. [2015-11-09 22:21:59] <Firlz|Khandhas> "To be fair, I only managed to get to you through luck and circumstances... And had the Borgata not been raiding just then, I have no idea if the job would've even been finished. These are guys who kidnapped HOW many capes and kept them down there for who-knows-how-long? Not managing to save someone from that place is kind of... I dunno. Expected?"
  132. [2015-11-09 22:21:59] <Firlz|Khandhas> Not really knowing what to say here "I know It's REALLY not my business, but maybe give it a week before you decide she's at fault for not rescuing you?"||
  133. [2015-11-09 22:23:55] <Antioch|GM> "Whatever," Royal Flush practically spits. She fixes Maia with a glare. "Maybe think about it a little harder next time you decide to drag people into your little game of cops and robbers."
  134. [2015-11-09 22:25:05] <Antioch|GM> "Jack of Hearts."
  135. [2015-11-09 22:25:13] <Antioch|GM> "Bust."
  136. [2015-11-09 22:25:17] <Antioch|GM> "The Hammer."
  137. [2015-11-09 22:25:36] <Antioch|GM> "Don't you fucking forget those names."
  138. [2015-11-09 22:25:40] <Antioch|GM> "That's on you."
  139. [2015-11-09 22:25:50] <Antioch|GM> She turns to leave. ||
  140. [2015-11-09 22:26:14] <Bel|Dags> ...
  141. [2015-11-09 22:27:11] <Bel|Dags> I wordlessly hand the bottle of Glenfiddich to the man in the helmet. He'd been eying my glass the whole conversation and he clearly deserved it. ||
  142. [2015-11-09 22:28:47] <Firlz|Khandhas> Nodding and putting it down for a moment "Royal, gimme a minute to take care of my own business and I'll give you a ride wherever. Also, if Jack, Bust, and Hammer were down there with you, I might have a lead on where to find them." Khandhas waits for her reply before talking to dags to find out what happened with Haddon and take care of some other
  143. [2015-11-09 22:28:47] <Firlz|Khandhas> business while here.||
  144. [2015-11-09 22:31:09] <Antioch|GM> "I'm good, guy," she says, fixing Khandhas with a level gaze. "I can find my own way home."
  145. [2015-11-09 22:31:54] <Antioch|GM> "Thanks for getting me out of that one, by the way. You have a phone number for me? I figure I owe you a couple of favors."
  146. [2015-11-09 22:33:36] <Antioch|GM> As she opens the door to leave, she turns, for one last parting remark aimed at Maia.
  147. [2015-11-09 22:33:48] <Antioch|GM> "See you never, Gambit."
  148. [2015-11-09 22:33:50] <Antioch|GM> The door slams. ||
  149. [2015-11-09 22:35:15] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((assuming she sees one of the clones outside it will talk to her and get her contact info. Providing knowledge that the vans with the captured capes might have been intercepted by Borgata))
  150. [2015-11-09 22:36:24] <Bel|Dags> After a few seconds pass, Dags takes the bottle back from the helmeted man, refills his glass, then passes the bottle back.
  151. [2015-11-09 22:37:21] <Firlz|Khandhas> The self inside the room facepalms at the revelation. "Oh.... OH." Looking at Gambit. "Well, all of..." Khandhas waves at the room vaguely "that. Makes more sense now. You uh, know... Wink is more or less looking for you I think? Or I'd expect him to since he's running Blackjack now."||
  152. [2015-11-09 22:37:52] <Bel|Dags> "Maia, you can wait in my office if you need a minute, or you can take the day off. Or you can stay around. Whatever you feel like."
  153. [2015-11-09 22:38:41] <Bel|Dags> To the helmeted man, I say, "I think she's got that under control, but thank you anyways. You said you had business?" ||
  154. [2015-11-09 22:42:40] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Yeah, two things, actually. First was to find out what happened to Perimeter and Kusa from the fight, I know not everyone made it out entirely and well... I feel kinda bad I didn't show for the whole "save the town from monsters" run. And to that end was gonna hand off contact info so next time shit like that comes up they maybe at least send out
  155. [2015-11-09 22:42:40] <Firlz|Khandhas> a message to try and show up." Taking on a solemn demeanor "Since you're still actually running the place I'm guessing they made it out just fine, though I also take it they aren't here if they didn't intervene in that whole thing. Surprised they're back out on the streets after an event like that. I know I'd take a couple days off to rest after a
  156. [2015-11-09 22:42:40] <Firlz|Khandhas> big fight."||
  157. [2015-11-09 22:44:47] <Antioch|GM> Maia stands up shakily from her chair, absentmindedly grabbing the bottle of cherry vodka as she passes you.
  158. [2015-11-09 22:45:12] <Antioch|GM> Without saying a word, she enters Kusakabe's vacant office. The door closes, and you hear a click. ||
  159. [2015-11-09 22:50:43] → panth joined (738460bb@net-gm9k1g.mibbit.com)
  160. [2015-11-09 22:50:58] <Bel|Dags> I sigh and take Maia's seat. "Perimeter made it to the fight, he got banged up but he'll be back by tonight. Kus was... indisposed, and he's not the type for front line combat, anyways. Contact info's definitely appreciated, we'll be sure to get in touch." I flash a smile. "Mind giving us a name to stick with that info?" ||
  161. [2015-11-09 22:51:23] <Antioch|GM> ((Y'all have met before, in case you forgot.))
  162. [2015-11-09 22:51:37] <Antioch|GM> ((http://pastebin.com/8fv2mhat))
  163. [2015-11-09 22:51:37] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((I haven't met him as Khandhas though))
  164. [2015-11-09 22:51:46] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((unless I forgot I did))
  165. [2015-11-09 22:51:48] <Antioch|GM> ((Oh, righto. Carry on.))
  166. [2015-11-09 22:54:36] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Khandhas, K H A N D H A S best way to find me will soon be PHO. Tend to use burner phones because of my power. chances are that'll be the most consistent way to catch me. I'm hoping nobody's taken that name yet. If they have I'll stop by again later with whatever I go with."

  168. [2015-11-09 22:58:28] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Power probably rates at least some thinker, you guys gonna need an extra hand or two until Kusakabe gets better?" Khandhas emphasizes the "extra hands" by having a clone walk in do a jig and then leave. "With any luck things settling down a bit after the recent events should free up some time."||
  169. [2015-11-09 23:00:52] <Bel|Dags> I raise my eyebrow at the 'clone' show, taking quick notes on my pad. "Can't say we'd turn down a few pairs of hands. You looking for a job or just contract work?" ||

  171. [2015-11-09 23:03:39] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Contract work is preferable, but we... I wouldn't mind doing more routine stuff when it's slow on other fronts."||
  172. [2015-11-09 23:05:13] <Bel|Dags> "Fair enough." I scribble the HPIA desk number on another slip of paper and pass it over. "Give me a ring later and we can discuss it. Right now I have a call to make."
  173. [2015-11-09 23:06:45] <Bel|Dags> As I pick up the handset, I pause. "And thanks. For grabbing her, I mean. Took guts." ||
  174. [2015-11-09 23:09:34] <Firlz|Khandhas> The self in the room picks up the drink Dags left behind for him "Like I said, luck and circumstances. Found her while looking for someone else. Hopefully she and Maia?" Khandhas says, unsure of what to call the woman he now knew to be the former leader of Blackjack "can fix their bridges or whatever."||
  175. [2015-11-09 23:09:50] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((Khandhas is leaving, unless interrupted by dags or something else))
  176. [2015-11-09 23:10:01] <Antioch|GM> ((No interruptions from me.))
  177. [2015-11-09 23:10:16] <Bel|Dags> ((Nor from me.))
