>>69435"Would you like the Well whiskey, or are you fixin' for something more top-shelf? We have an 18XX year Cidrehaus,...."
>>69439"How much is the ciderhaus?"
>>69440"That depends,..." he suddenly drops the cheerful and cordial overtone and his faces becomes a steely-deadpan gaze. "What kinda job are you looking to pull, and how much is the reward?"
>>69441"That would Depend on what your skills are"

2 7's, and trips. That's gotta count for something.
Sister Ash looks over towards the other Sister, still feeling somewhat awkward to be in this new environment.
>>69450"I'm even better with locks and safes, if you catch my meaning"
>>69450"I'm fine..." The Kirin replies
"Just not used to these parts."
>>69451"How Are you at not being seen?"
>>69428"That is quite funny, mare. I bet I will be more useful than you." Iron laughs "I am not about to slack off at the job. I have honor for my job." He turns to the stallion. "I accept the payment."
>>69452"Alcohol helps with that."
>>69454*throws over 200 bits*
"Half now half when we are done."
>>69455"I don't drink." she says "or at least not in bars."
>>69453e_e He Eeee's quietly. "Try me," he says. "Tell you what." he walks away for a moment, and talks to the bartender. He returns shortly with the
entire bottle of Cirdehaus (which is about 2/3 full) and plants it on the table.
"Alright then. Let's talk
business." he says with slight emphasis.
>>69459"No, now we're drinking. So let's talk."
>>69456Iron picks the bits up and he stores it on the bit pouch. "Alright, it is settled."
>>69460"What Did you want to know?"
>>69462"Where are my manners?" He steps away and returns with (enough) glasses (even one for her Scalyness), and then proceeds to pour himself a drink.
"What's the job?" he asks, bringing the glass to his nose to take in its bouquet of aromas.
>>69463"Infiltration. Theres Something Going Down on the Docks tonight. An Interested Group of ponies want us to keep a eye on them. But if something goes wrong there could be some violence"
>>69464"Disguise infiltration, or covert infiltration?"
>>69465"A bit of both, your role would be the latter."
>>69466dubsHe takes a short swig of the cider. "Good, I'm not the best at disguises. Now I know you might be a bit put off, because I'm just random bat from left field, but I like you guys. You seem like decent chaps who are actual players in a game that someone has painstakingly set out to depict. I like that. It sounds like fun,... better yet, it sounds like
trouble." somehow, when he says 'trouble', its almost indistinguishable (perhaps more emphatic) than 'fun'.
>>69467"if this were a game you just broke the 4th wall"
*looks at the camera*
"and thats the edgiest thing you coid do."
>>69468He shrugs. "I just like to keep a level head is all. When I'm not *ahem* getting into trouble, I like to think about the nature of existence."
>>69470T> "Just go with it, he's trying to make it seem less awkward that the random waiter wants to throw in with strangers. He could make it
more awkward if you really wanted,...."
"Who said that?" the bat asks, slightly alarmed. "You heard that right?"
>>69472>>69471Iron looks annoyed by the antics. "Are you ill or something, bat? I would rather not have a madpony as support." He turns to the employer "I do not know about you, but I ceirtanly do not."
>>69472"... erm,... uh,... nothing." he says downing his drink.
"WHO ARE YOU?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME?!" he Eeeee's internally.
"So what sort of environment is to be infiltrated? You mentioned the docks, which gives me a few options. I could approach by sea, or by air. I could do it by land of course, but the other two seem to be more tactically sound."
>>69473"We Need Someone with his skills."
>>69474"I Suspect the Waterfront Gang may be involved. As well as an Communist organization. they will be there tonight. i suggest going by Air."
>>69475"Splendid. Is there a plan, or is it 'play it by ear'?" he says, twitching his oversized bat-ears.
do I get bonuses to listen checks? >>69475The mare speaks up
"Did you say Waterfront?"
>>69477"Have any of you been to the Docks?" he asks everyone "i havent myself. so i guess well play it by ear, so to speak."
>>69479"yes i suspect they may be involved."
>>69481She grits her teeth
"They're a dangerous lot. A bunch of godless low-lives."
>>69479"Waterfront, as in the gang?"
>>69481"Not
these docks, but I
might have ventured to docks in a hostile setting previously."
>>69482"Shh, I'm assuming a gang, which means they're conditioned to expect/rely on strength in numbers. They're also going to be comfortable since its their home turf and 'who would dare assault us at home',... or at least thats the mentality 'I've heard such groups employ'." he says with a wink, pouring another drink of the cider. "This is really good, you lot should try it."
>>69482"I take it youve met them?"
>>69483"yes."
>>69484"They are also near warehouses i have been told."
>>69485"Already had a run in with them myself"
>>69488"Two guys jumped me. Luckily I had this"
Onyx gestures to the halberd behind the bar.
