Black Dog Part 1:
-[x] Emerald
-[x] Adam
-[x] Pyrrha
The tavern was a seedy place that smelled of evil. Perhaps not exactly of evil, but of a truly wretched hive, that was filled with booze, sex, and guns. As you walked in, you were noticed, and the rest of your party quietly followed behind you, not staying too close, but warning the compatriots of the bar that you, and by extension, them, were off-limits.
"Shouldn't we-" Pyrrha started, but you nodded.
"No. We are working in his world. Not ours." You replied with a glance to Adam. "You know her?"
"Spider isn't the most hospitable person, but she'll give us what we need." Adam replied.
"Still can't believe you talked me into this." Emerald replied trying her best to not look scared at… well, all the thugs looking at the four of you.
"Welcome to Mistral, and welcome to my world." You replied. "Where the profit is worth the risk to life."
You then sat down in front of the woman, drinking a whiskey as she looked to her henchmen. "You know, when little kids walk up to me, usually they pay close attention to who and what I am." She stated. "They call me Lil' Miss Malachite.
"
"I doubt they ever call you little." You replied with a smirk.
"And they'd be right." She replied as she leaned back in her chair. "And who might you be."
"Cole Crystal. CEO and Co-Founder of Frostbite Solutions." You replied.
An eyebrow raised, and she chuckled. "And what is it your company does again? We don't get many of your type around here?"
You smiled. "We prefer to keep our options open, and make it up as we go?"
That made the Spider frown, and her men looked at her for orders. Adam and Emerald placed their hands on their weapons, and Pyrrha looked ready for battle, even without a weapon drawn. "Who do you think you are, Nick Schnee?"
Recognition Roll:
D100 => 51-50=1
You have no idea. You thought to yourself as you relaxed. "Well, if you want me to be Nick Schnee, I can bring down your entire organization in about a week." you stated as weapons were drawn."
You were toying with them now, after all, why would they care about you for… well thinking like Schnee? You were a Crystal. And they were stupid.
And you needed their attention for what you were asking for.
Adam gritted his teeth. "Cole!" He stressed your name, as you thought you heard him say Schnee.
You just relaxed. Everything was now going to be well. "I want Marcus Black. A Meeting perhaps."
That made everyone stop moving. Weapons started to shake, and the thugs started to slowly back away.
Spider took a deep breath and gave a low cough. "You have some balls boy. No one sees Marcus Black. He sees you."
"Perhaps." You said. "But I still want to meet him."
"He'll kill you." The Spider stated, and color seemed to leave her face. "No one asks for him unless they are brave or foolish."
You laughed. "Well good thing I'm neither. Otherwise, this might be a bad day for us all." You replied. "I'm determined. And perhaps, if you aren't willing to corporate… Someone else might… for far less than what I am going to offer."
Spider frowned. "Name your price."
The Lowest Price: D100 => 88 +50=138
"5 thousand Lien now, another 5 when the meeting is over." You replied.
"10 Thousand Lien for a simple conversation?" Spider replied. "You must really want someone dead."
"In a manner of speaking." You replied. "But that is for me to say. And you too not know."
Spider nodded. "The Lien."
You nodded and took a stack of cards from Emerald, who nodded back. You slid them across the table. "I hope this was… good."
Spider nodded. "Very." She then pocked the Lien. "I hope you realize that you and everyone else of your little company are now walking with death."
You stood up and gave a nod. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
--------------------------------------------
Adam growled. "Are you an idiot!?" He demanded as he pushed you against the wall.
"No, not particularly." You replied. "The criminal mind is cowardly and superstitious. But not Marcus Black. He is not a predictable beast."
Pyrrha shifted her feet. "I feel like you put yourself in danger because you like it."
She wasn't wrong. You liked the danger, but controlled danger. This was by far the most dangerous thing you had ever done.
Emerald sighed. "Well, I just hope your idiocy dosen't get us all killed."
"It won't." You replied. "Now. Lets' plan this... well."
---------------------

(Choose 1)
[]Heat: You are going to a restaurant and wait for him. Speak to him man to man. Alone.

[]All For One: You are going to bring everyone, and then you will talk.
----------------------
