**The warehouse district is pretty busy this time of the evening, as delivery vans are being loaded and unloaded across the tarmacked forecourts. Large men in bloodied aprons cross in front of your car carrying fresh carcasses to a wating cold storage truck, while an open warehouse roller door reveals ceiling high stacks of wooden boxes spilling straw packing from the seams**

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:15:06 AM)
*Wearing dark blue jeans over boots and a plain black t-shirt, her rich brown hair falling freely around her Paige walks by Chris' side. Her hand slipped into his she looks around curiosly, far from a child of the streets and certainly out of her depth.* You know where we're going?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:16:26 AM)
*he laughed and shook his head* Not exactly. *The defiler was dressed in his blue chucks, faded jeans and a ratty old dark blue sweater. Pretty standard. His eyes moved over the area, this was a familiar sight to him, reminding him of his youth, finding trouble late at night around Seattle's piers*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:17:30 AM)
**A asian man in a black sweat suit and hoody approaches you, white racing stripes running from arms to jazzy sneakers. Stepping over a large pool of oilyt water, he looks between you** Paige and Chris right? The old man's waiting for you

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:18:05 AM)
*She chuckles at that, amusement setting her dark eyes to sparkle.* Oh that's reassuring Chris. *The lingering smile upon her lips she looks over to the asian man with a nod.* Thanks, I don't suppose you could point us in the right direction could you?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:18:29 AM)
**He indicates a spot above your head with a nod of his own. Looking aorund, one of the warehouses has a set of fire stairs on the outside of the building that leads up to upper level door**

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:19:52 AM)
*He returned the nod* Alright, thanks man. *he looked over to the stairs* Well, there's the stairway to heaven. *he led her towards them, a smile on his lips, finally they were getting somewhere, he started to hum the Zeppelin tune*

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:20:47 AM)
*She waves to the man with a friendly smile of thanks before starting towards the stairs and preparing to go up them. Her eyes flicking to the side to Chris she grins.* I'm not sure that's exactly what anyone has in mind when they talk about a stairway to heaven.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:22:00 AM)
*he looked over as they started to ascend* Oh yeah? Well, I'll have you know I met Jimmy Page personally, and he said that's exactly what it was about. *he grinned fiendishly and returned his eyes to the stairs as he climbed, not wanting to trip and make a complete fool of himself right away*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:22:27 AM)
**As you move above the forecourt, you count maybe six warehouses, each with markings indicating they are divided by nationality. Oddly, one warehouse is marked out in english and japanese, while another, english and italian;another, english and spanish.... The stairs themselves are a death trap and seem to lean out slightly from the warehouse wall as you climb**

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:22:59 AM)
*Reaching the top she steps onto the roof and grins back over the edge towards him, one hand reaching up to hold back her hair.* No Chris, that was a particularily attractive fern in my garden, you were just -that- high.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:24:41 AM)
*Thankful to have made it to the top, he took a glance down. Then decided he wouldn't do that anymore. Looking over and smiling, cracking another joke, maybe out of nervousness* Well that fern could shred. *he took a breath and opened the door* (i'm assuming there's a door)

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:26:20 AM)
*Slipping her hands into her pockets she follows Chris inside, curiousity making it's way over her features as she continues to speak in a light teasing tone that hinted at close familiarity.* Don't worry, she likes you too.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:28:53 AM)
**Below, an argument appears to start gaining momentum as three heavily built asians speak in a tumble of words to a growing group of italians, who gesture and point angrily at a badly parked van. You look between the door and the fight and as you reach out to open it, Victor yanks the door open and bustles past the pair of you to lean against the rail. He calls out and as he does so, the old mans voice is clear, resonant and commanding. Perfect Italian, brushed both with indignation and warning "You have been warned before, that if you expect our agreement to stand, you will not attempt to rile those that have already proven their worth here.. NOsw get back to work, or back on the boat, it's your choice. Standing around wasting my time is NOT an option

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:30:19 AM)
**He then flips to Japanese** Do I pay you to work, or to fight with the gaijen! Back to work!!

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:30:50 AM)
**He then turns back tro you and peers through those thick glasses** Now, now to work for us, inside please

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:31:53 AM)
*Paige smiles in great amusement, nodding to Victor without a word as she follows him inside, her eyes flicking over to Chris to see if he too was enjoying the humour of the situation.*

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:32:02 AM)
*he smirked, glancing back down to the scene below. Well, it was obvious where the old man sat on the totem pole around here. He nodded his head in a respectul but shallow bow of his head and entered*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:34:52 AM)
**The office inside has windows that overlook the warehouse interior. At least eight trucks, and a sea of people of asian appearing, very motley dressed people, milling about or getting on board** So, so.... We must get the pair of you associated with the Court of Baton Rouge... take a seat,. please

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:35:24 AM)
**The rest of the office is a tragic mess of filing cabinets, ancient typewriters and stacks of unfiled papaerwork**

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:36:11 AM)
*She takes a seat, hands slipping from her pockets as she crosses her legs.* Thank you sir, there was also something else we wanted to speak with you about.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:37:21 AM)
*He followed commands and sat down, his eyes drawn to the activity outside the windows momentarily. He glanced to Peyton then to Victor, happy to remain quiet for the moment*

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:37:35 AM)
(Peyton isn't here :P)

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:37:43 AM)
((correct))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:37:56 AM)
((Must be wishful thinking... *swoon* ))

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:37:56 AM)
(lol)

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:39:20 AM)
((playa!))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:39:41 AM)
((I got 99 problems))

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:39:44 AM)
**Then I am all ears ... speak

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:40:39 AM)
*She looks over what's his name with a quick smile before turning to Victor.* I'm sure you're well aware that Khobran gave us a book written by Hawke?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:41:40 AM)
Oh? *he chuckles* so he didn't think my cards were so weak after all...**he looks up and waves off any questions** go on

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:42:56 AM)
*he quirked his brow, obviously missing something in his comment, but waited for the studious one to do her thing, his hands folding in his lap*

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:44:24 AM)
*She tilts her head to the side curiously before shaking it, the smile lingering around her lips as she continues.* I'm sure you've read it, and have likely noticed far more in it than we did. What we did however notice was that Hawke seems to have had himself present in all the stories as some kind of secret whispering advisor, the man who's words weren't heeded and thus led to a downfall. He seems to see himself as a puppet master, and I have the strong suspicion that before he even came close to a public attack on New Orleans he likely got someone into the court, some kind of sleeper agent. I couldn't help but wonder if that is why Khobran gave us the book, denied our request outright and showed us to his door quickly. So that you could pick us up, whoever is on the inside wouldn't know what we were working on and that perhaps Khobran intended for us to speak with you about rooting out a spy within the ranks of the New Orleans court.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:46:38 AM)
Wheels within wheels it seems to you eh? **he grins** I won't like to you, The information passing to Baton Rouge has stumped me on more than one occasion

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:47:29 AM)
**He sits back against the counter, takes off his glasses and cleans them with his woolen gloves wearlily** As much as it pains me, there must be a leak

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:47:51 AM)
*She sure was straight forward sometimes. He smiled and nodded, looking between the two as she let out her spiel* It makes sense for him to infiltrate. If we've thought of getting to his court, he's thought of getting to this one. And if no one has been caught attempting to get in yet. *he paused* I would assume that means they were successful

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:48:20 AM)
*She nods watching him closely.* It occured to us that Khobran was trying to give us a message with the book that he didn't feel he could speak openly, also that by giving us into your hands he wanted you to have that message.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:50:02 AM)
*he leaned back in his chair, splaying his hands* It also occured to us that the Ministry of Dragons is techncally in charge of internal security. If this message, as we suspect, is being passed to us... then Khobran must really suspect anyone.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:50:07 AM)
Then I remain among the trusted few....**he nods and looks to Chris** You are perceptive. Yes, I have managed to infiltrate his court though none too far. A lower order within the court Wardens though one who is known for both wealth and ruthless tactics

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:51:28 AM)
*he nodded, shutting up to listen. There was clearly a lot of blanks Victor could fill in for them*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:51:30 AM)
AS for whome we might suspect.... there are a number of possibilities

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:52:24 AM)
I have never had much time for the Whitwe Queen and her people, though it's her witch that I would watch for, Crimson

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:52:25 AM)
*Listening now she leans back and falls silent, her quick firing mind working in overtime as she begins to look into the puzzle set before her.*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:54:04 AM)
But then, Katje is a mystery to the entire court but Frost. To my knowledge, no living Sebettu on this side of the Abyss has ever successfully learned anythinhg of her from memmory

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:54:32 AM)
**he replaces his glasses** Not and lived to reveal it at least

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:55:17 AM)
*he perked a brow at that, venturing a question* Have there been any disappearances within the court?

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:55:36 AM)
Katje? *She looks to Victor in question, speaking softly so as not to interupt Chris but hoping to prod out some more useful information.*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:55:49 AM)
And then there is Daphne of the Lions.... She has proved herself in battle, and as a liability lately... IT pains me to raise her though, as she's such a delight. Dissapearances in court, no. But there have been servants, thralls and contacts yes

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:57:15 AM)
((Kalea mari))

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 2:58:32 AM)
Kalea is Victoria Frosts chief enforcer... She is a fey creature, unable to take mortal form and near psychotic as far as I can tell

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 2:59:23 AM)
Your people have been watching Daphne and Katje. *She continues to watch Victor closely fairly sure the old man is far more canny than he lets on.* Have you noticed anything concerning? Shifts in their bank accounts, strange contacts with lost loved one's? Do you have background files on them? Legions? Consorts?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 2:59:56 AM)
*he nodded to this, rubbing his chin thoughtfully* So, two from the Dragons. One from the Lions. Why these individuals? *he looked over to Paige, what he said, but....more words*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:02:56 AM)
**Victor nods** why? **He thinks* What I tell you now, should it be repeated, will be the end of all standing you might gain. Are we understood? I will not make boastful claims of your destruction, but I assure you, there will be no harbour that will offer safe shores should I learn you have been guilty of pillow talk.

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:04:06 AM)
*She smiles a quick humourous expression at that, the approachable air wrapping around her as she seeks to put Victor at his ease with a joke.* Never fear sir, should he be guilty of pillow talk with anyone other than me I'll destroy him myself and he any I share a pillow with.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:04:40 AM)
*he put up his hand as if to surrender and nodded graciously* Absolutely, of course. You have my... our word. *he looked over to Paige with a smirk* Yeah, and that.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:07:09 AM)
**He smirks and continues** Because Daphne has the posiiton to know things she really aught not to, but has in the past been ...familiar with the Lord Tyrant. Daphne is a wiley warrior though carries with her the seeds of betrayal. I have learned that she was once Ebon Legion and has in the past fought blood duels in order to hold her honour against Lucifarians. AS to Crimson and Kalea, Kalea because she is an unknown quantity and Crimson because she was once caught atemping to assasinate a court member already

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:09:08 AM)
*He blinked at the last statment, he let out a low whistle* Dare I ask who she was trying to assassinate?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:11:08 AM)
**He smiles delighted that he can share with you and pleased that your willing to play his game** Why, Victoria of course

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:11:59 AM)
Yet she still works for Victoria? The Inquisitor allows that?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:12:10 AM)
*he balked at that, eyes narrowing with mock suspicion* Get outta here. Seriously?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:13:53 AM)
It's just the thing that she delights in. It was one of my agents who uncovered enough to spark suspicion to the young witch who sought out the 'Infernals' of the city, and Victoria was canny enough to discover the rest. Now, Crimson is seen as a pet to Frost, despite her impressive abilities however, she is also a trained killer and as such, morally flexible

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:14:49 AM)
How does the Inquisitor manage to keep a hold of the leash?

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:16:27 AM)
*he leaned back listening... Crimson's story sounding vaguely familiar to a point, Chris' mind wandering to another who sought out the 'infernals' of the city, this one from behind the wheel of a flashy car*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:18:03 AM)
**He shrugs** I know many things, but we Ministers tend not to dig too deeply into each othrs affairs, it's considred a professional courtesy. That does not mean I havent bugged her offices from time to time of course. Crimson was once a member of an order of thralls to a slayer assassin, David ... something. He believed that the court system invited democracy under Khobran and sought to remove him and his officers. Crimson was assigned to Victoria and while she was very very good, Victoria is a dangerous opponent, as am I

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:19:00 AM)
Jersey led a strike team at his home, destroying the slayer and most of his thralls, some escaped *he shrugs*

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:19:17 AM)
*She nods quickly accumulating all the information, her teeth biting down lightly upon her lower lip as she comes to some quick conclusions.* Hawke was Ebon?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:19:30 AM)
That he was.... is

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:20:53 AM)
*he nodded, that was not entirely surprising, given what he had heard of the man* Are there other thralls of this David, who survive still, beyond Crimson?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:23:27 AM)
**Victor nods** There were three who escaped. One attempted quite famouslyb to raise a cult of his own... David Karesh? The man was a fool and and the Texan court ensured he was made short work of. The other two, who knows, though they were a devout crew

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:24:03 AM)
*Her eyes flick to Chris in question.* You think perhaps they could have gone to Baton Rouge?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:25:44 AM)
Daphne was there, she might remember more

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:26:03 AM)
*he smirked at that* But would she divulge.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:26:09 AM)
(?)

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:26:25 AM)
It depends on what side of the fence she's on

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:26:38 AM)
.

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:27:58 AM)
*She nods to that standing up as she begins to pace, the movement helping her think.* We'd be fools to assume we had only been infiltrated on one count. Any good spy master would have a backup in place. We can see a connection linking Daphne and Crimson to one another and so we just need to discover if they are also linked as we suspect to Baton Rouge.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:28:28 AM)
*he leaned back and nodded* Well, then. *He looked over to Paige a moment, then back to Victor* Quite the web of intrigue. Perhaps professional courtesy *he paused* be damned.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:32:40 AM)
**he chuckles** Well, you have what you need to begin. And should you consider going forward, I will offer you a position within my Ministry should you desire it, as I would have to have to dropped in the Mississippi and your attitudes to our...goals, seem in line with my own

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:32:49 AM)
BUt that is talk for another time

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:34:22 AM)
*She stops and smiles with a nod looking back to Victor.* So what you truly need to begin with is a list of members of the court of Baton Rouge, before we can start making connections we need to know what we have to make connections with.

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:35:11 AM)
*He nodded faintly* She's right. An anatomy of their court would be crucial to drawing the necessary connections. We can't very well counter-spy if we don't know who they might be reporting to.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:35:14 AM)
**The office door opens and a young man in jeans and a white T speaks urgently iun Cantonese** ""chow chow chow, wang wang chow chow chow chow. WANG chow wang, cho wchow chow!

**He looks between the two of you (unless you speak cantonese)) I have to deal with this, Things seem to happen at the busiest of times

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:38:13 AM)
(Trust me it's way worse Chris when he tries to do ghetto speak)

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:38:33 AM)
*She stops and smiles over to Victor.* When are we going to Baton Rouge?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:40:09 AM)
((you be trippin' woman, now get back to ma crib an diss me some bangers from your hoody... aight!))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:40:25 AM)
*He laughed as Paige inquired* I think the idea is that the enemy within takes precedent. For now. *he looked to Victor*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:42:33 AM)
I leave your timing up to you. Use who you will though be careful to harvest what you know. If you want to go to Baton Rouge, I have created a cover for you. Should you want to move on the internal investigation first, then I will entrust the invetigaiton to you, aiding you where I can

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:43:16 AM)
*She smiles, the humour once more in her eyes as she looks to Victor.* Do we get a manilla folder with our secret cover's inside?

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:44:29 AM)
**His eyes widen** Careful now Paige... your not so high and mighty that you may forget you your talking too **he grins and shakes his head** Manilla folder indeed

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:44:31 AM)
*he nodded* I have to think stopping the leak must take precedent. As long as the enemy can predict our movements, we're sunk. *he smirked at Paige and shook his head* I say we start here. Though, if you could suggest a specific starting point... *he smiled to the man* That would probably help us get zeroed.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:45:16 AM)
**he takes out a manilla folder from his desk drawer and tosses it across the counter** Persue it as you will

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:45:54 AM)
*She grins in responce to Victor, humour dancing in her eyes as she finds herself rapidly growing fond of the old man. The sight of the folder brings a chuckle to her lips as she catches it.* Thank you sir, I can see you anticipated my desires perfectly.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:47:13 AM)
'**he smiles a little, looking to Chris** WE're Eagles, not Budgies

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:47:48 AM)
Now, out out, and speak to me when you've decided to move

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:06 AM)
oh, one other thing

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:18 AM)
*he smirked and nodded, turning to leave, he stopped, looking back*

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:20 AM)
I forbid you including that Carter woman

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:22 AM)
(Columbo?)

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:48 AM)
**he makes his way toward the office door** gives me the willies

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:48:56 AM)
*The smile still on her lips she turns to leave, stopping to look over to Victor with a nod.* Well we hadn't intended on including anyone sir since you have entrusted secret information to us.

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:50:09 AM)
(Shall we get folder contents in a fpm?)

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:50:13 AM)
oh you'll need a third for Bagton Rouge to use the cover ..**he opens the door to his warehouse and looks back** didnt I say? *he grins an closes the door after him** Wang eang chow chow chow wang wang!

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:50:22 AM)
((yes you shall))

Chris Reimmer (Nov 2, 2011 3:50:26 AM)
(huzzah)

Paige Villawood (Nov 2, 2011 3:51:03 AM)
*She laughs and walks out the door with Chris, her eyes flicking to her partner in crime as they walk together.* Oh I most definately -like- him.

Legion (Nov 2, 2011 3:51:18 AM)
((and that's the scene. We can take this back up soon, thought curt is on the w/e
