What an odd turn of phrase.
The lackey comes in and does seem relaxed, finding a chair or other suitable piece of furniture to lean on.
"Pleased to meet you, Lt. Xifhara. Thanks for seeing me."

"I don't think he'd be too busy. As you said, not much is happening around here so you'd only give him something to do." Astrana replies as she suddenly gets off the desk. "So lets go visit him." It can be assumed will lead Raril to the door to Dipsnig's office.

"I'm currently discussing this with the boss." Fade says as he walks through the base.
"The problem is, Illophen now knows that Nadas made a contract with MERC. Which means the fake kill got even more complicated , since she knows about the rules we got here."Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

[Kirk's Room]
Sounded like he needed some help in there, this wouldn't be very fun. She knocks on the door against her better judgement. Perhaps she could run some damage control.
[Astrana's Office 2]
"Is this something I can help you further with? Otherwise it might be best if you discuss it outside my office." Astrana suggests.

Raril steps inside. "Hi, Dipsnig." He looks a little surprised to see a goblin, but doesn't comment on it. "I, uh, wanted to say thank you and talk to you a bit about, well, me. I've forgotten things, you see. Pretty much everything about myself. I was hoping you could fill me in a little."~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me

Dipsnig blinks, then one of his ears quirks upwards. If Astrana confirms that Raril lost his memories, then he can go with that.
"My name is Dipsnig Razortooth, and I'm the Chief Executive of MERC. You and I have done business with the past, since a discount in your bar is part of the benefits package we offer to people who purchase our license. We're also paid to protect it.

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me

"I'm glad they were there. I don't think I would have made it out without them." Raril says, serious. "I owe you people my life, but I don't know what kind of life I had. I've got someone trying to kill me. I'm wearing some sort of slave collar. My soul is missing, and so are my memories. I don't know if getting my soul back would restore them, and I'm not sure I want them to be restored. Maybe I can make a fresh start of things, but I don't know what I'd be missing, what I'd be leaving behind. Can you help me sort that out? Was I a good person? Did I have a life worth picking up again?"~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me

Dipsnig's ears dip slightly. This is not a question he hears often. Or ever.
"Good person? As far as I knew, yes. I know you had a murky past, but I never pried into it. You ran a honest business with the Den, and if I could say 'pillar of the community' with a straight face, I might call you that. So, yes, I'd call your life worth returning to. Besides, I don't think amnesia induced by a murder attempt is a very good fresh start. Can't tell you what that collar might mean, though."
[Dipsnig's Office - Fade]
Dipsnig's ears twitch.
"It could work. You've been us for a while, though, so we'd need to make sure she doesn't know you."Last edited by Morty; 2017-01-11 at 05:50 PM.

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me
[Outside MERC Base]
A pigeon lands at the front of the base and drops a rolled up piece of paper. The pigeon walks around for a moment, pecks at the ground a few times, and flies off. The message inside is written in Hiragana, but thanks to the strange way everyone speaks the same language in the nexus, the message can be read.
Spoiler: MessageTo Whomever this May Concern,
You do not need to know who I am, but you do need to know that you have a target of mine in your custody. I have no quarrel with you, and only wish to carry out justice, but if you do not hand him over, I will kill every one of you just to get to him. His name is Raril, and he is wanted for the murder of my client's family. I understand that you are mercenaries, and work for the highest bidder. Is that correct? If that is the case, if you kill Raril and put his head outside the base (I don't care where) I will pay your organization 1,000,000 gold pieces, which I'm sure is an offer that you might want to think twice about before turning down. Use a silver weapon, as he is a werewolf. If you do comply, the money will be in a bag in front of the facility entrance within a week. However, if you do not comply within the next half an hour, I will go in and kill him myself, and anyone who gets in my way.
Also, don't try to track the bird, it's just a wild pigeon I found and put a scroll in his mouth and then directed towards you. It's not any magical familiar so it won't come back towards me. Also, if you wish to communicate, write on a piece of paper and put it on the ground. Don't worry, I can get a good view of it with this scope.
X

Re: MERC XVII: You Can't Take the Pay From Me
[Kirk's Room]
Dena finds Kirk standing with his back facing her. He's gotten only partially dressed. He managed his belt, but he was struggling with his shirt when Dena walked in. He turns his head so the side of his face is visible. "What is it?"
Next to him is a small bit of carnage, the likely result of the noise earlier. The lamp and clock that had been on his bedside table are smashed to pieces on the floor, and the table itself has some significant splintering.

Fade nods to Astrana.
"Only if you would know more about Illophen." He says in his typical voice. "Otherwise thanks for your work."
He will then head out, assuming Jacob follows he will answer is question.
"You. Didn't you go to Illopfen for more informations about a job you got from Nadas? Even if you kept MERC away in your talking, Illophen knew exactly that he is here."
[Dipsnig's Office - Fade]
The shadow nods.

Re: [Westside Office]
"Yes. A very unusual person, but the General considers her reliable."
"It's information-gathering about Eastside's electoral candidates. We want to be ready if the district invades, or gets dragged off to hell, starts a casino trade war, or whatever." In a reasonable city only one of those would be a concern. But this is the world they have to deal with.

"Eastside you say? Rough business, so your concerns are understandable. We'd all like to know what they're doing down there. However, plans change, especially in elections. If I'd accept this mission, there is no way that I'd guarantee that whatever information I'd find it still accurate once the election is over."
[Kirk's Room]
Kirk will see that Dena is wearing her goggles now, those eyes of hers safely hidden from view. "Kirk, let me help you with that at least. You can complain it all about what you want, but just let me do that." She takes a step into his room before stopping.

"That's right, Eastside. The fact that it could change so much is part of why we need the information. We don't need you to see the future - although if MERC offers that, you should publicize it better, and we might actually be interested - I'm sure your best-effort will still be worth something.

"Not to my knowledge, no. But as for regular information, how would you be paying me exactly? Since you're hiring people for this, I expect that you want some may- or may not existing hidden agendas a person couldn't just ask a candidate of. You'd be paying me to find information which might not even exist, or be completely irrelevant to you." Dena inquires.

Jacob looks down and thinks before speaking. Could we turn it off and then change the location of it, maybe through reprogramming?"
