[Event]

[ogrewarrior]

It's his day off, so you can find Kaz:

A.) Atop something high, with a bottle of whisky and his gigantic cork board. This one still has the 'Heartland' section, but neatly divided up by almost straight lines are two other sections: One is 'That case I can't talk about' which is... blank. And the second is 'Race to the bottom' the subtitle of which is 'one of my garbage daughters will one day destroy an important feature of reality. Which one will it be first?'

Here, he's set up a speaker with his tablet and he's listening to some classic rock but seems... very distracted even though this is probably relevant problems.

B.) He is downtown, looking in and out of jewelry stores, never really saying a word.

[Bonus! Private messages.]

[Private to Shian and Kaito]

Hey, I got a weird hint. Ain't much, but... Apparently my fiance's heard rumors of a group of people that'll do hack jobs like the one on Rose. They ain't cheap and they seem to be the kind of people who'll approach you rather than you contacting them. She's also OOPARTS and has a pretty good head on her shoulders, so.

I, uh. May dip out of town for a bit, personal business calls. Anyone in particular you'd want me to hand over all my files and shit to while I'm out? And in case I'm devoured by a howling void?

[Private to Noriko]

Alright. Let's do this. Decided I don't need a deck. If what I've got don't cut it, it's a sign I don't deserve this.

::Looms behind you in a jacket.::

Planning a jewel robbery?

Re: [Event B]

[ogrewarrior]

He cracks up at that.

"Yeah, I'm gonna rob this store. I'll even outline how for ya. First, I'm gonna ask for something I want, then they're going to show me some options. Then, I'm gonna hand them a piece of plastic that tells my bank to remove credit from an account for something expensive, then I'm gonna pay my bank slowly but surely the amount of what I'm 'stealing' plus a little interest, because they're a racket.

Then I'm going to take my 'ill-gotten' gains home, where I will stare at it until I die of poisonous thoughts in two thousand years. Or turn into a dragon and add it to my hoard."

::Snorts.::

So why do you want jewelry.

Re: [Event B]

[ogrewarrior]

"Oh, the staring and waiting for death wasn't enough of a clue?

I finally got into a place that, uh. Is... super financially secure. My bike's paid off finally, my debt's are mostly clear, so, uh. GonnabuyaringforGweneventhoughI'mguaranteedtofuckitupbigtime."

Breath.

"And rushing headfirst into things my gut or dick says are good ideas are... sort of how I ruined my entire life, so I'm still leery of listening to them on this."

::Grabs the whiskey bottle from you, looking over your shoulder at the cork board.::

What's with the blank section.

Re: [Event A]

[ogrewarrior]

He winces slightly and turns his music down. He wasn't very quietly singing along with Fleetwood Mac.

"Huh? Oh, that's that case that big-wig spiky haired blonde guy, Shian, and myself are working. Since he left the initial thing to OOPARTS, a spirit's had her memory sort of... torn apart. And that's as far as we've gotten, really."

Re: [Event A]

[thefoxreturns2]

... Anything else on 'torn apart'.

::Sips on the whiskey, looking at the cork board, as she blatantly is whistling Billy Joel.::

Re: [Event A]

[ogrewarrior]

"Like... I think it's something our favorite Shian COULD do, but doesn't? And there's been others like this, which is... gonna be a huge issue. Because I don't want to sit on my haunches and just wait for the next one and hope we can prevent it. Need to find out what she was getting close to..."

He grunts and lights a cigarette, snatching his whiskey back for a few sips before offering it and a cigarette.

"Which is a god damn issue of course, because she and whatever she was doing were scrubbed."

*Sylvia's kinda lost in staring at stuff all over in a random jewelry store, bumping into you like she usually does when she talks to people*

S-sorry! I'm not...

*Stares at you for a second, checking your shirt to make sure it says Coven or something rad like that to make sure it's you*

Re: [Event B]

[ogrewarrior]

There's probably very few giant bearded men wearing Queensryche shirts in Domino, yeah. He grins.

"Hey kiddo. What's goin' on?"

Re: [Event B]

[shiningsylvia]

*That's pretty cool, yeah.*

Hi, sir! Um, Kaz, sir. Mr. Kaz. Uh.

*Deep breath*

I'm just... looking... for stuff... for... girl. Uh...

H-how are you what's up also for you?

Re: [Event B]

[ogrewarrior]

"Kaz is fine."

He pauses, looking at the jewelry, back at you.

"Uh, 'bout the same. Engagement rings, y'know. Uh."

[knightofgems]

*I've got questions for why you're looking in on a jewelry store that I happen to be at.*

[ogrewarrior]

A pause. Hasn't he... seen this kid before? A little bit longer hair and...

... Right, Samasus. He clears his throat and in a little rusty Russian:

"Hello."

[knightofgems]

*... oh! You know Russian. He switches to that.*

Hello. Is there something you wanted here? You keep sulking around, and I think it's going to worry my mom.

[Private to Kaz]

[memoryistime]

Uggh, that sounds annoying. I gotta wonder-- if these guys are the ones who did it, why'd they approach then if that's the case?

... wait, you're getting married?

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

Maybe she clued in on something no one else has? Maybe they're even in Domino. Impossible to tell without her being herself.

Yeah, Gwen and I.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[memoryistime]

UGGHHH

... When'd this happen?

[Private to Kaz and Shian

[photonslight]

I've vaguely heard something along those lines of a rumor like that, but I suspect it's more complicated.

Re: [Private to Kaz and Shian

[ogrewarrior]

I mean, yeah. It probably is, but it's all I got right now.

If I find an oracle out in my wanderings I'll trade it an eye or something for something better.

Re: [Private to Kaz and Shian]

[memoryistime]

Hey, I'm going to back up my memories and Kaz's here as a failsafe.

I dunno if you wanted me to do you too, but I'll understand if you don't want me touching your head at all.

Re: [Private to Kaz and Shian]

[photonslight]

... Why does backing up our memories not fill me with any ease.

[Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

... Did I say something about Decks or not?

But you can pretty much find your own way to it with the directions I gave you.

If we're discussing the same thing.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[ogrewarrior]

I'd debated it, but... I got the feeling my dragons would be upset with me.

Yeah? And where am I going to find a gate to get off of Earth?

I think I'm looking at your house.

Re: [Private to Kaz]

[theheadmonarch]

There's plenty of gates off Earth.

And why would I let you in my house.
