Dannylonglegs Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) "Is that so?" Karie looks mournfully at Marty. She knows what has to be done. She motions for Dreyrugr to start carving his face, starting on the right side and slicing his cheek to his mouth. "Talk! Or we'll spoil your face even more!" She feels sick to her stomach. As soon as the knife punctured the skin of his cheek, he belted "No! Stop!" a tear formed in the side of his eye "You foul cretins won't even grant a dying man his last request. You're dirty rotten scum all of you! I pray to Mercutio that all your financial ventures fail! The Po Brothers are..." He stopped, thinking for a second. "They're gangsters. A pair of ruffians who work for the Were-Raven Mob. They somehow found out about the Hinckwell deal and then payed me to spread the word as wide as I could. I held up my end of the bargain." He grinned again, his teeth stained by his blood. Edited March 21, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote
Kintobor Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Karie backs away from Marty and throws up in the alley, away from the party. This was the lowest she had stooped in years. She had the information they needed, but at the cost of one man's dignity and her stomach. And all for a big fat paycheck. Was that the best way to get the information off of Marty, by defacing him? Life was weird. "Money makes the world go around The world go around The world go around Money makes the world go around It makes the world go 'round." "A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound A buck or a pound A buck or a pound" "Is all that makes the world go around, That clinking clanking sound Can make the world go 'round!" "Money money money money money money Money money money money money money!" The Emcee and Karie go into a dance routine as the audience begins to slowly applause. "If you haven't any coal in the stove And you freeze in the winter And you curse on the wind At your fate When you haven't any shoes On your feet And your coat's thin as paper And you look thirty pounds Underweight. When you go to get a word of advice From the fat little pastor He will tell you to love evermore. But when hunger comes a rap, Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window..." Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat rat-a-tat! "At the window..." "Who's there?" "Hunger!" "Eugh! Hunger!" "See how love flies out the door... For" "Money makes The world... ...Go around The world... ...Go around The world... ...Go around Money makes the" CLANK! ".... Go around That clinking Clanking sound of Give a little, Get a little, Money money Money money Mark, a yen, a buck Or a pound That clinking clanking Clunking sound Is all that makes The world go 'round!" "It makes the world go round!" The two run off stage after bumping backsides, as the audience applause, the band leading them off with the last bit of the song. "Is that why you brought me here?" "Pretty much." OOC: Yay for flashbacks! Edited March 21, 2013 by Kintobor Quote

Vash the Stampede Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 "Right, Nessa and Drake, here's your money back, 1 coin and 35 for you. I'll take my 14 back, leaving us with 15 gold to split. Amorith. Your awesome. Take five gold and the remedy." Her eyes glazed over the rapier. It's shiny brilliance calling her closer. "Do you guys really want it? Out of the three of us I kinda need it the most, what with being the weakest in terms of damage being dealt." "It looks like it's sharp. I'd like it but if I don't get it then life..........or unlife goes on." 15 gold to split? I know I only gave a pathetic 4 gold but don't forget I did contribute. Quote

Kintobor Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Karie wipes the barf off her face. It seems a bit of her make up came off cleaning up. She heads back to Marty, shaking herself loose. "Right now, where are they situated, this gang? And better yet are you being honest? Dreyrugr, if you please." She motions for Dreyrugr to continue if Marty won't comply.

He squealed, gurgling the last of it. "I always tell the truth..." He chuckled, "and I always obey my clients' wishes...." with that final remark, the beautiful bastard grinned and closed his eyes, succumbing to his wounds. His face looked quite peaceful now that his hideous personality no longer inhabited it. Edited March 21, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Dreyrugr checks everything Marty has for anything possibly useful such as a note or such, after which he picks him up looking for somewhere to hide his body. Dreyrugr found a note written in a flowery hand that read: "In exchange for the 100 gold we've deposited in your bank account, we demand that you spread the rumour we told you yesterday as widely as possible. Everyone in the Cloth-Trade must know the rumour tomorrow by four in the afternoon, or the plan won't work, and you will not receive the additional 100. Sincerely, Ed and Al Po." Looking round to find somewhere to hide the bodies, Dreyrugr founds several old crates. They looked like they were just left there. Some had rigging and nets, others had bags of rotten vegetables. In one, Dreyrugr found the rotting corpse of a man with several silver bolts stuck in his back. Scattered around the alley were numerous papers and discarded signs. Several Wanted-Posters caught Dreyrug's eye, including one for a man named "Switz Mothblade" and a crossed-out one for "Crawfee" and a man simply listed as "The Arsonist". He also found some strangely fresh vomit. It was now around 1 o' clock. The rain began to drizzle lightly over the party. Quote
Kintobor Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Karie picks up Marty's cloak and smears it with his blood. She still felt a little uneasy after dealing with Marty and his thugs. It seems as if she was life's dumping ground as of late. "When you guys are ready to head out, let me know. We're almost near the end, I think." She looked more somber than usual. "Here, Dreyrugr, take the coins your missing. Sorry about the screw up." She tossed Dreyrugr four coins out of her pouch. She then inspected her new rapier. Shiny, pristine, and as straight as a ruler. Flawless in every aspect. "You know what, I think I'm going to call you "Sexy"!" OOC: Glad you like the flashback! Their always a hoot to photograph! Edited March 21, 2013 by Kintobor Quote
Vash the Stampede Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Dreyrugr catches the coins. "Thanks" he replied. He then puts the found note into his pocket just in case. He removes netting from one of the crates and places Marty's body inside. Dreyrugr then fits the netting into his (infinetly deep)bag after which he inspects the body with several bolts in his body already there. Quote
herrJJ Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 "So... Where are we going next, Karie?" Nessa asked completely insecure. Quote
Kintobor Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Karie finishes touching her face paint up She closes her mirror and walks toward the party, taking the map out and handing it to Nessa. "Can you tell me where the Middle Wharf District is? We're looking for the Grand Board-Walk." OOC: That's a cue to move us to the next location. Edited March 21, 2013 by Kintobor Quote

"I guess we try this way", Nessa said pointing in the direction. OOC: Sorry for the delay and the short answer. I am on a business meeting the whole day Totally fine. I myself'll be busy today and I have the conundrum of making the set for the were-raven mob with neither photo-shop, nor any of my were-raven figs. I'd by lying if I said I expected you to get there while I was still on vacation. I'll leave you with a 'chance' encounter that I did expect instead, and update you on the were-raven mob later today if you're ready, after going to the store and buying a set, I think.

Drake- 40 coins, Potion? Dreyrugr- 5 coins, Potion? There's 10 gold missing. I didn't give Dreyrugr your money because of this. Please distribute the last 10 gold, and we can move on. The Party went around preparing to leave the alley. Dreyrugr hid Marty's blood smeared body (and presumably those of the others as well) and found a net he figured may come of some use to him. The body was of no one he recognized and was picked to the bone, although it reminded him of Crawfee's missing accuser of whom they heard earlier today. The others discussed their next course of action. As they were getting ready to leave, they heard 3 voices near the Bank-side entrance to the Alley, A mild pleasant male one, a clearly female, and somewhat aristocratic one, and a boyish one. Quote

She found the gray-haired man they saw earlier, his female companion, and a mysterious individual who's head was wrapped in a long scarf, and who's body was covered in a large, heavy cloak. The gray haired man was talking to the cloaked figure. "Look," Said the gray-haired man. "I fail to see how that has anything to do with this... We're business associates." his voice was mild and calm. He seemed younger than he looked. Too young to have grey hair. "Very well, now are we going to consult Marty now, or not?" queried the figure in a boyish voice. "Wait, I hear something." stated the red-haired woman. "Odd, I didn't hear anything..." started the mysterious figure. "She has sensitive ears." answered the grey-haired man quickly. "Hmm... Let's go see Marty. The sooner we do this the better." stated the figure, with notes of slight frustration. Edit: Oh, and they all have Goatees... Even the Party-Mambers get goatees. And the Corpses. Especially the Corpses. Edited March 21, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but hear your little discussion. May I perhaps help you with anything? I overheard talk of Marty. I'm sorry to inform you that he's taken leave, and that I'm to look over things in his stead. So, how can I help you lot today!" She spoke as charismatically as she could, smiling broadly. Her insides felt the exact opposite. Quote

Snarked the boyish voice. "Look, Lady," the figure started, "I've got something to discuss with Marty, and only Marty...." The cloaked figure paused, thinking for a second. "I'm the Church of Ennoc's chief accountant." the figure stated bluntly. "I need to speak to Marty. I'm on an assignment for Father Caine, the Pastor of the People's Church, and he gave me strict orders only to speak to Marty." Edited March 23, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote

"Just write me down as 'Accountant.' I'm sure the Cult of Mercutio wouldn't be too pleased to hear that a Church affiliate knows of their meeting-place." "I'm Lawrence Dice, Traveling merchant." stated the laid-back gray-haired man, still somewhat suspicious. "And this is my traveling partner, Yoro." "Pleased to meet you."
