  1. [2013-10-29 17:00:17] <Falconis> Jay and Lei's continuing adventure, logging start
  2. [2013-10-29 17:01:40] <Falconis> Jay and Lei have gone a long way. To Russia and back in fact, well almost back.
  3. [2013-10-29 17:02:20] <Falconis> You have gained much knowledge and a new member of the party on this journey and Beijing is just a few hours out when we rejoin you
  4. [2013-10-29 17:03:19] <Falconis> How shall you spend your remaining time? Lei rides in front of you on his magestic Zebstrika, setting a comfortable pace that's easy on the pokemon, and the rear end of the rider.
  5. [2013-10-29 17:03:20] <Falconis> >_
  6. [2013-10-29 17:04:34] <Jay> "So, I owe you a story, don't I?" Jay says.
  7. [2013-10-29 17:05:34] <Falconis> Lei nods his head and you catch a hint of a grin from the side of his face
  8. [2013-10-29 17:05:52] <Falconis> "Assuming it's good enough to substitute for Land and gold"
  9. [2013-10-29 17:15:14] <Jay> "So, back in the day, my pa - not my real one, he just raised me - used to run this business," Jay starts.
  10. [2013-10-29 17:15:45] <Jay> "Import a lot of raw materials. Fabrics, food, medicine," and drugs, he leaves out.
  11. [2013-10-29 17:16:28] <Jay> "Did a bit of the reselling himself, yeah, but running your own distribution system was for the younger folk, he said. He'd stay at the top and run the supply chains."
  12. [2013-10-29 17:18:48] <Jay> "Now, there was this one guy, Billy Evans, who bought a lot of stuff from us at a discount in return for a percentage of his earnings." William Evans III, son of Williams Evan II, a criminal kingpin dethroned in the most violent of ways.
  13. [2013-10-29 17:19:45] <Jay> "Ordinarily, pa wouldn't take it since the raw cash is better in hand but him and Billy's dad went back. So he said okay. Five years later, we realize Billy's been cheating us." Jay snorts. "Not that we didn't expect it."
  14. [2013-10-29 17:20:48] <Falconis> Lei pulls out his pipe and lights it with a snap of his fingers
  15. [2013-10-29 17:20:50] <Falconis> he nods
  16. [2013-10-29 17:21:08] <Jay> "Buying our goods, mixing it with synthetics, passing it off as legit. Sawdust in the bread, cheap fibres in the wool, that stuff. It made him a lot more money than he was willing to tell us about and share, and it made us look bad to our other customers. Selling inferior goods."
  17. [2013-10-29 17:23:27] <Jay> "So, Billy rents out a theatre one night for his family. Pissed his daughter off or something, was trying to make it up. So pa asks me and Ricky, that's pa's son Small Ricky, to go level with him quiet before we tell the authorities." 'Level with him' being 'threaten his family'.
  18. [2013-10-29 17:24:38] <Falconis> that last part wasn't in quotes, so I assume it wasn't out loud
  19. [2013-10-29 17:25:19] <Jay> "So, me and Ricky," - and 6 other guys - "head to the theatre with literally a strongly worded letter about proper behaviour and honesty from pa." (yes, it was just a story detail about what actually happened)
  20. [2013-10-29 17:26:23] <Jay> "We get there," rough up the guards, "head inside and the show's on intermission. Me and Ricky split up to go find the guy, him staying to wait by the seats and me roaming the place like an idiot." Jay chuckles.
  21. [2013-10-29 17:30:04] <Jay> "So, I get lost and end up wandering back and forth for a while and run into this girl - Billy's daughter. She asks me who I am and what I'm doing there, and I tell her we're looking for her dad. Cute kid, so I end up talking to her for a couple minutes, just killing time before figuring I should head back to Ricky."
  22. [2013-10-29 17:31:59] <Jay> "Then the dame grabs my hand and asks me if I wouldn't rather stay with her, and gives me one of those looks. It wasn't my smartest move, but I was young, stupid, and hormonal, so I followed her backstage where nobody'd find us."
  23. [2013-10-29 17:32:57] <Jay> Jay rubs his chin with a somewhat chagrined look on his face. "Now, I didn't know this then, but it turns out Billy was cheating on his wife something fierce. Had a couple dozen mistresses on rotation and when she found out, boy, she was pissed. And looking to get even."
  24. [2013-10-29 17:35:04] <Jay> "So, I'm behind the stage and the dame, enjoying myself, when she hits the scenery something fierce. Now, I don't know how she did it but she knocked that wall flat over - and this thing was a good 30 feet wide, 10 feet up. And the next thing I hear is 'What are you doing with my wife?!'"
  25. [2013-10-29 17:36:01] <Jay> Jay rubs his chin again and reseats himself on the Zebstrika. "So, a couple things run through my head at this point. One: Wife? Two: Where the hell is Ricky, and how do I get out of here? Three: Cover myself."
  26. [2013-10-29 17:36:22] <Falconis> Lei chuckles
  27. [2013-10-29 17:37:22] <Jay> "I don't remember what play it was, something about an Opera, but I grabbed the guy near me and took his mask and backed up real quick."
  28. [2013-10-29 17:41:13] <Jay> "I'm just standing there in all my glory and a zubat mask when I see Billy reaching into his jacket, and whether it was a gun or a pokeball, I had to think fast."
  29. [2013-10-29 17:42:13] <Jay> "So I dive for the dame, who's laying there with this kind of smug look on her face, pull a pokeball from her necklace and sail it at the guy. Got lucky and caught him on the wrist, and he dropped his ball."
  30. [2013-10-29 17:44:03] <Jay> "Then I turned around and booked it for the exit, but went out the wrong one and ended up in the fire escape. I didn't think an overweight man in his 40s could keep up with me, much less on stairs, but he chased me up two flights to the roof and corners me on the edge of the roof with a pistol and a mean look."
  31. [2013-10-29 17:44:46] <Jay> "So he says to me 'Alright, you punk, what do you gotta say for yourself? You think you can cross William Evans and get away with it?'"
  32. [2013-10-29 17:45:39] <Jay> "I'm surprised he didn't just shoot me and look behind me. Lucky me, it's the front entrance. Big awning, main street - and Ricky, with the car, looking impatient."
  33. [2013-10-29 17:47:48] <Jay> "So I Cottonee to an idea, and turn around and give my best mean look back and say 'That? That was a smack in the face and the balls, ya blown-up Qwilfish. That's a left hook from everybody you ever bent over in a deal, everybody you shafted in a trade, everybod-' you get where I was going with this. I had a sense for the dramatic, back then."
  34. [2013-10-29 17:49:09] <Jay> "I draw myself up and stand straight and look him in the eyes, and tell him: 'I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Zubatman!' and jumped backwards onto the awning."
  35. [2013-10-29 17:50:04] <Jay> "Rolled off, hit the ground without feeling it, and booked it for the car. I don't know who was more shocked, Ricky or the meter maid, but he didn't ask any questions and we booked it like...well, like a man caught with someone else's wife."
  36. [2013-10-29 17:50:28] <Falconis> Lei stops his Zebstrika and turns to face you
  37. [2013-10-29 17:50:41] <Falconis> he examines your face for traces of tarus feces
  38. [2013-10-29 17:51:09] <Jay> Jay chuckles, and rubs his side, "Most fun night breaking ribs of my life. Pa was pretty damn pissed, but he couldn't stop laughing long enough to do anything to me."
  39. [2013-10-29 17:51:35] <Falconis> Lei chuckles around his pipe
  40. [2013-10-29 17:51:59] <Jay> "I didn't really come at 'em sideways, like you said," Jay says, laughing to himself, "But another 5 minutes, maybe..."
  41. [2013-10-29 17:52:24] <Falconis> "Well...I can safely say that I didn't expect that ending to the story"
  42. [2013-10-29 17:52:37] <Falconis> "Perhaps it's worth 30 acres after all"
  43. [2013-10-29 17:53:09] <Falconis> he begins riding again and shakes his head from side to side
  44. [2013-10-29 17:53:23] <Falconis> "You are an interesting man"
  45. [2013-10-29 17:53:48] <Jay> Jay shifts his hat on his head. "Me and pa's sons got into a lot of shenanigans, back in those days," he says wistfully, "I'll tell you some more, sometime."
  46. [2013-10-29 17:54:28] <Jay> "Kind of upset remembering that, actually. Lost a damn fine suit..." he huffs.
  47. [2013-10-29 17:54:47] <Falconis> "That would be good, I enjoy a good story"
  48. [2013-10-29 17:55:06] <Falconis> "Let us remain silent in it's memory then
  49. [2013-10-29 17:57:36] <Falconis> You continue riding on, Lei shaking his head occasionally and chuckling softly
  50. [2013-10-29 17:57:40] <Falconis> /scene
