((ok - so you wanna investigate the little red-headed blackmailer girl, right?))

(yessir)
Reuel (Nov 22, 2011 7:38:26 PM)
((in broad strokes - tell me how you envision this investigation taking place?))
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:38:57 PM)
(since nero operates more on the criminal aspect side of life, being a con man and all, I figured he'd just ask around see if anyone heard anything)
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:39:40 PM)
(Nero does have 1 contact in the city I never defined so if anything he'd work that avenue of the street. someones gotta have heard something about a tape, nero is just looking for a foot in a door =D)
Reuel (Nov 22, 2011 7:40:02 PM)
((ok we have some options here))

(yeah sorry was just writing something out. Yeah, Names Ryan Murphy. small time criminal/ Hustler. )
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:47:02 PM)
(Murphy has had a few run ins with the law, not a real big time criminal. Lot of small time shit. Theft, Breaking and entering, drugs etc. Always on the outskirts on real criminal activity. He'
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:48:53 PM)
(damn enter key. he comes from a criminal family, used to be a ghoul to a brujah he gangbanged with, till said vampire split. Now he just does what he can to keep getting blood. Met Nero when the Ravnos got to the city, after a few nights of poker he ended up oweing the ravnos more then he wagered. so he acts as an extra set of eyes/ears when it comes to criminal activity.)
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:48:58 PM)

(alright going to post after)
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 7:56:49 PM)
Nero had spent the better part of the night trolling every dive bar, back alley poker game and pool hall he knew in the city and in a city like New Orleans there happened to be a good number of all three. His attire for the evening was business casual, a cinammon colored dress shirt on black slacks with a bit of flashy jewelry to go along with it all. He wasn't there for any sort of game of chance, he'd satisfied that urge the night before. Tonight information was what he craved. At each location he talked with the 'natives', being a criminal all his life, first in Brooklyn as a street thug then refining his craft to the con, it wasn't hard for the Ravnos to pick out others of his ilk. His last stop was at Finn' McCool's Irish Pub, the biggest hole of dead beats and drunks this city had ever seen, and that was just counting for the Irish.

Reuel (Nov 22, 2011 8:05:17 PM)
:;Nero worked his local haunts. As he went from pub, to bar, to tavern, to lounge - and along the way he picked up small bits of information. None of them seemed to be much, but added together they made a somewhat interesting picture. The red head was seen, yeah sure. She was seen usually by people Nero knew, in the company of a mid-rent thug Otis Breninger. He wasn't the most well known criminal - but he was set up. He seemed to have a stable thing going, even as he went from different stripes of criminality from month to month::

Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:08:11 PM)
(alright. gimme another sec)
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:11:49 PM)
The information came in drips and drabs and cost more at times to procure it then he wished. For the most part all evening he felt like he was chasing phantoms, and for a Ravnos that was a pain in the ass. Nothing was conclusive or solid as a singular item, it took looking at the whole picture to get a better idea. He'd never heard of the mug this dame had chosen for muscle, half the city might not of. Maybe that's the reason why she chose him, then again maybe there was something more involved. From what the streets were saying Breninger was nothing more then a two bit thug more likely to end up in county again on another b and e then be a mastermind behind something like this. By the time Nero had gotten to Finn's he was tired of shaking down people, at this point he was looking for someone who's arm he could twist for info. He was looking for Ryan

(This user is now known as Ryan Murphy)
Ryan Murphy (Nov 22, 2011 8:20:02 PM)
::Ryan sat at his favorite stool, and when he saw Nero approaching, he knew that he was gonna get juiced for /something/. The best he could hope for was not to get fucked over in the trade. Nervously he looked to nero with an acknowledging nod:: 'Sup?
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:24:02 PM)
Nero approached with a casual smile and took a seat next to Ryan at the bar. Tossing a pack of smokes onto the bar along with his wallet the Ravnos placed an order for a Jack and Coke and looked to his companion. "Evening Murph. You look a little peaked, not getting the shakes are you? " Fishing out a smoke Nero stuffed it into the corner of his mouth before continuing. He kept his eyes around the bar and not on Ryan. "Missed you at the Track the other night, would have cleaned house." He was beating around the bush, didn't take Einstein to realize that.
Ryan Murphy (Nov 22, 2011 8:26:15 PM)
Yeah man - I'm sure you looked for me real hard, cause you're so generous and shit. ::Ryan ran a hand through his hair with a deep breath. He could feel himself on edge - part of himself wanted to just jump the asshole right there and take... but that was fuckin crazy, and probably suicide to boot. He just cast his eyes away:: Whatthe fuck do you want?
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:29:34 PM)
Ryan's bark seemed to stifle Nero's chit chat. Leaning an elbow on the bar his head leaned against it as he sized the ghoul up. "Fine, I'll be out with it then. There's a goon I'm looking for Otis Breninger, ever hear of him?" Nero inquired before igniting the cigarette. After a puff he continued. "He's working as muscle or protection for some red head everyone in the city is hot to find. If we find her, it could really set us both up. No bullshit." If Ryan learned one thing about the Ravnos his word was worth a little more, at least when he gave it.
Ryan Murphy (Nov 22, 2011 8:34:32 PM)
The fuck? ::Nero seemed to touch a nerve with his questions. Ryan arched an eyebrow and rubbed his chin. He looked at Nero askance with incredulity sliding over his eyes:: How the fuck do you know Otis Breninger... ::His voisewas more hushed now and Ryan shook his head indicating he didn't actually care for an answer about it:: The chick ain't just his boss, but it's his bitch. And he's a junkie - part of the same rehab I am, if you get my drift. She's his pusher. ::Ryan shrugged his shoulders:: They act like it's some puppy love shit.
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:39:22 PM)
"Puppy love?" Nero quirked as he took another puff and swirled the ice around his drink. "Ya don't say?" His words were slathered in that rich Brooklyn accent his voice had since he met Ryan. "I know about him because I've been shaking down every two bit from here to Gretna looking for a tad bit of info I could find out. "So, I guess I could easily make the assumption that this red headed bird is like me huh? You happen to know where either of them flop. or better yet a place I spy either of them? I'm not looking to kick in doors yet. Just maybe want to get an eye full of either"
Ryan Murphy (Nov 22, 2011 8:43:29 PM)
All i know is Otis is set the fuck up, man. He never misses his rent, and he doesn't have to hustle, not unless he feels like it. More than him or that piece of ass of his should manage - whether she's like you or she ain't. But yeah, I can tell my own, and Otis has had the Jones from time to time. ::Ryan arched an eybrow at Nero and leaned forward:: i gave you some good shit man, you gonna help make sure i'm taken care of, bro?
Nero Gaspare (Nov 22, 2011 8:49:08 PM)
"I'm a man of my word Ryan. I've got an errand to run, some posh bullshit party for the blue bloods of this city. I don't care to go but I want to trade secrets about who's doing what with who. Come around later, 1508 Broadway St, just knock the woman who owns the place is my landlady Mrs. Keats, she'll lead you to my place." Tossing a fifty on the bar Nero took another puff and smiled approvingly at the ghoul. "Get a drink in ya kid, you look like you need it" The Ravnos's tone grew grave as he leaned in putting a hand on Ryan's shoulder " and Ryan. You hear anything. I mean anything, you let me know first before you try some cowboy shit. We can work together on this alright? 1508, after midnight. "
Ryan Murphy (Nov 22, 2011 8:50:20 PM)
Thanks man. I've got your back... ::Ryan turned back to the bar and his drink. Trying to use alcohol to mask what he really had a thirst for::
