18:27] Exile@Nosyu: *Cullin Mc'luskey calling on team-wide coms*

[18:28] Ravage@LordOmnimon: *comms* "Hello? This is Ravage."

[18:31] Exile@Nosyu: Mc'luskey: "Good. Ravage. Listen i'll be brief. We've been investigating an usual series of murders... wounds on the victims have been shallow, sharp like a razor, but most disturbingly they've been <

[18:32] Exile@Nosyu: coating in an exotic poison. Scorpion poison." -- "And the killer... has only been targeting martial artist."

[18:33] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "Hmm, okay. Are there any other clues?"

[18:35] Exile@Nosyu: Mc'luskey: "We've had a consultant. Another martial artist. He's wanting to go to a local... uh... China apothecary... or whatever the Chinese equivalent is.  The hunch is the poison was sold at this<

[18:36] Exile@Nosyu: location. The consultant is going in, but he's young, inexperienced. It's deep in red-banner territory. Expect... hostility."

[18:37] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "Alright. Where're we supposed to meet him?"

[18:38] Exile@Nosyu: mc'luskey: "china town. Outside the lucky dragon. Punky bruster looking kid in a white hoodie. Scrappy but he seems to know things about martial arts no-one on our short-list knows."

[18:40] Alias@Tyger: "Does he have a name?"

[18:40] Exile@Nosyu: ** Ext. Street. China Town. Evening. Stores will close soon. Lots of shops are sweeping up, last minute cleaning and whatnot before closing up shop.*

[18:41] Exile@Nosyu: Mc'luskey: "He does. He goes by Koh. He's been interested in meeting the former young-champions. He says you all knew his brother, Ken.

[18:43] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "Hmm, I think I know who you mean. We'll try to meet your guy."

[18:43] Alias@Tyger: *frowns* "Yeah, we knew him.."

[18:44] Alias@Tyger: "We should get moving before the shops close."

[18:44] Exile@Nosyu: Mc'uskey: " Yeah. Sad Business. Koh may have more information about it. Good lucky heroes. "

[18:45] Exile@Nosyu: **Ext. Street. Found punky-kid stands around watching the lucky-dragon storefront.*

[18:45] Alias@Tyger: "Hey kid, are you Koh?"

[18:46] Ravage@LordOmnimon: *Ravage puts out an alert to anyone available. details of the mission included before heading out himself. choosing to keep a low profile he doesn't wear his tights. he stands behind Alias when they>>

[18:46] Ravage@LordOmnimon: <<spot Koh.*

[18:47] Red Nova@mrlunkovich: ~Niko responds to the alert, his voice sound over the comm.~ "Red Nova reporting in.."

[18:48] Exile@Nosyu: **K upnods at alias and ravage.* "hey. you guys came looking casual. Nice. You guys actually used to know my elder brother ken. Or well. Some of you did."

[18:49] Alias@Tyger: "I knew him pretty well, I'm sorry for what happened to him."

[18:50] Orion@kaajin: *Lands nearby and cloaks, walking towards the others, doing his usual listening and not really talking thing. Partially due to being cloaked and not wanting to scare anyone, partially because Jack*

[18:51] Exile@Nosyu: *Nods* "Ken did what was right but, he paid the price for it. I'm the last practitioner of Ryuga-ken. I was actually going to approach mc'luskey about trying to join TGI when i heard about these <

[18:52] Exile@Nosyu: killings. To the MCPD the stab wounds looked random, but each wound is in nerves and arteries. injecting scorpion venom in key spots to disable a person... very painfully."

[18:53] Red Nova@mrlunkovich: "That not sound random, that sound like professional hit."

[18:53] Alias@Tyger: "Is there any connection between the victims? Did they belong to the same school or anything?"

[18:55] Exile@Nosyu: *folds his arms* "All the victims are young. The future Heirs to ancient martial arts. If you ask me? It's someone cutting off blood lines. Old debts, bad blood. But we can find that out when we find

[18:55] Exile@Nosyu: the killer."

[18:56] Exile@Nosyu: " Lucky Dragon is pretty well known around a select group. Traditional martial artist. Old-world types. If you need some Deer Antler to get your yang up. Some rhino balls for your chi. You can get it

[18:56] Exile@Nosyu: here."

[18:56] Exile@Nosyu: "My guess is if they didn't sell the venom, the sold the scorpions."

[18:57] Exile@Nosyu: they*

[18:58] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "Sounds like this won't be easy. Hopefully the owner's gonna be cooperative and tell us who bought some scorpions."

[19:00] Exile@Nosyu: "I'll defer to your experience, since i know you guys do this kind of thing

[19:00] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "It'd probably be best if we didn't go in there in a big crowd. Some of you guys go in with Koh and back him up I guess. I'll wait outside here." *glances around* "Sound good?"

[19:01] Red Nova@mrlunkovich: "All depends on how bad we want him to talk, the hot hand is very persuasive.."

[19:01] Alias@Tyger: "Sounds like a plan."

[19:02] Exile@Nosyu: {last chance for posts before we move inside the shop! Post dialog and / or movement please.

[19:02] Orion@kaajin: So let's get goin' then..

[19:03] Alias@Tyger: "No hot hands unless it's necessary.. we're not Sam."

[19:03] Exile@Nosyu: "Is hot-hands like a sex-thing?"

[19:03] Ravage@LordOmnimon: "Try not to go ballistic. Could be they had no idea what the scorpions were gonna be for."

[19:03] Red Nova@mrlunkovich: "Well did not mean as first option..."

[19:03] Exile@Nosyu: *looks both ways and then crosses the street when it's safe.*

[19:04] Alias@Tyger: *follows him*

[19:05] Ravage@LordOmnimon: *stays on the other side of the street. walking a couple storefronts down the street so he's not directly across from the Lucky Dragon*

[19:05] Red Nova@mrlunkovich: ~Niko falls in behind the others.~

[19:05] Exile@Nosyu: (slight pause for dolith to join
