[Yuri and Will appear in Eris's bar/club. Currently the band is doing an updated version of Megadeth's Sweating Bullet.] (WOO. UNDERAGE DRINKING.) [The dance floor is crowded and Yuri gets a whole bunch of sixth sense info. Nothing of note though.] [Eris is behind the bar and hasn't seen you yet.] I take it this is not Katherine's place. * Yuri tries to take in where she is and is, yes, hit with SS info... then sees Eris and says with a weak smile, "Nope. Apparently, your quiet night really isn't in the cards. Arson, then clubbing." * Yuri points over at Eris. "S'a friend of Saldin's. I'm guessing it's time to say hello." [A giant lobster type walks up to Will. "Will Cheng! Good to see you again!" * WIll looks embarrassed. "Larry! Good to see you. How have you been? Finding work?" * Yuri blinks and looks up at the lobster from her place on Will's arm. * Eris glances to Will and grins. "You and Will are always welcome. And Larry I think Will might have someone he needs to focus on right now." * Larry nods. "Right, sorry." He then heads off. * Yuri chuckles a little and shakes her head, asking Will, "Old movie friend?" Not exactly. I met him in my other profession. Turns out my client was a sleezebag and the 'demon'... well you know how it can be. * Eris saddles over to your part of the bar and looks you over. Will gets a bit more attention in the lookover. * Yuri thinks for a second and then says, "Oh." She smiles weakly. "I usually don't." She looks over at Eris and her looking, then says, moving a little closer to Will, "Hello, Eris." * Eris gives a predatory grin. "What can I get you two?" I don't need anything. Specialty of the house. Nothing too hard though. May be a long night. * Eris smiles. "I'm sure you will." She starts preparing the drink, there's a few bottles involved in the process and a few hand gestures. "So you just here to say hi?" * Yuri leans forward on the bar. "I really doubt it. It's a... complicated night." * Eris puts the drink in front of Will. Its a dark amber with a subtle cloud pattern. There's also the occassional sparkle that almost glows like sunbeams. Sounds like it may fall under my barkeeper responsiblities. Go on. * Yuri chews her lip, then says, "SAB had one of their operatives attacked. It's turning into a big conspiracy picture." * Eris frowns. "Which one?" Saki. * Eris looks somewhat relieved. "Ah, Saki. So who came after her?" * Yuri looks at Eris, sighs slightly, then says a little quietly, "I probably shouldn't be talking about SAB's stuff, but they're pretty lost too. You understand... right?" * Eris nods and snaps her finger. "I'll keep your confidence. And no one will overhear." * Will takes a sip. His eyes widen slightly and he takes a bigger drink. * Yuri nods slightly. "Have you... heard of an incident? 20 years ago in Japan? Messy, lots of dead people? Or a guy named Hexeburg?" * Eris takes a moment to think. "Doesn't ring a bell. I was still in elementary school then. Hmm.. Hexeburg." I've heard a rumor or too about him. Nothing much and nothing pleasant. * Yuri mms and says, "Well, that's about right. He's got dark magic and ties to a fiery hell dimension. And there's a second group of supernaturals that was involved... related to the attack on Maggie during the tournament. And apparently not only are they tied together, they're tied in with Smee..." * Yuri shakes her head. "But for all that, we don't actually KNOW anything, other than that they're all involved." * Eris's eyes narrow. "Wait, what sort of ties to Smee?" * Will puts his drink down. "Yeah, crazy isn't it?" * Yuri glances over at Will, then back at Eris. "According to Maggie, Smee is full of this Hexenburg's people. And Smee is also giving out info related to the Japanese Supernaturals, among others." * Yuri looks over at Will. "Have some... pretty detailed files, apparently..." Smee's tied into one o those God-Devil syndicate? Fuck. ::She gets out a bottle of vodka and pours a glass for herself:: ... What? * Yuri gets a frown on her face. "God-Devil Syndicates? Some sort of cult type?" * Eris shakes her head. "No, I mean the whole hell thing. Devil lets people explain evil when there's a 'all powerful and benign' god. And the devil provides an appealing side for the freedom and heretical types to buy into the system. Pisses me off, that's all." * Yuri blinks. "Oh.... philisophical differences." She mms. "I don't know if there's a... devil in that dimension, but it..." she trails off, then finishes, "Feels hostile. And SAB's taking it as such, since Hexenburg's been making strikes at SAB." * Eris frowns. "Anyways, I sold the information to Smee. Won't say my source, but they swore it was just for the commentary reels and to help their contenders. According to all my sources they checked out." * Yuri frowns. "Information on who? Everyone?" Ahh.. Of course not. I left our people out. And just the contenders. * Yuri mms slightly, looks down for a second, then says, "... If I said that some Tarot cards showed up too, would that mean anything? I haven't wanted to discount it, but..." Ah, that's what screwed up tarot readings in the early twenty first... Yeah. I've heard a few of that type. Pretty rare. So, anywhere you looking for leads?" * Will blinks as he takes another sip. "Wait, so it wasn't Kahyla that sold the information?" * Eris shakes her head. "Only met her once. We didn't really get along." * Yuri chews her lips ome more. "There are a few other people in the 'Like Saki' crowd... Maggie's looking for them. And all of the people that attacked Saki... well, all the dead ones, were the same supernatural type." * Eris nods. "What's the type?" All from this Japan group... ties to a supernatural dimension Saldin and I don't really know. * Eris nods. "And they're tarot linked. On it. Anything more on this Hexeburg guy? I owe them one." * Yuri blinks and tries to list things, "Uh... SAB's planning on hitting him hard.... um, he makes money in oil? His house sits on the gate into the fiery dimension we were talking about..." * Eris nods and takes another hit of vodka. She gestures or Yuri to go on. All the stuff dealing with the Chunnel... like, a month back? Related to him too. Don't know why he did that, but... * Eris's eyes widen. Yeah. It's all big, but we've got nothing. And we didn't realize it was all connected until... maybe thirty minutes ago. * Yuri sighs in exasperation. * Yuri chuckles a little to herself, then says sorta idly, "If it weren't for Saldin and I, we really wouldn't know anything. So I guess the universe is on our side at the moment." I'll get on it and get back to you in the morning. Know any agents of this Hexeburg guy? * Will keeps drinking from his cup. * Yuri shakes her head slowly. "No... I... I remember a guy called the 'Mind- Swapper' in the SAB docs... and whoever in Smee is on his side. Not much to go on." * Eris lets out a breath. "Him I've heard of. Think he's more a mercenary type, but I'll see what I can find. Drop me a line if you find anything more." * Yuri nods slowly. "If you see Saldin... fill him in? You know how it goes." Will do. (Break in here?) (Pause break or break break?) (Pause) (And break for the night (Okay.) [Pause!]
