D.I.C.E(Game Thread/PM to Join)

[Ruedyn]

Kain barely glanced over the menu. He wasn't feeling hungry, and didn't bring the money to pay for anything.
"Puis-je avoir un verre de vin rouge?"
"I have a question for you two; are you intending to go back to HQ today?"
Kain sighed,
"I have about a week in vacation time. Use it or lose it, right?"

 

[DarkRawen]

Kain said something in French, Richard didn't know to whom, and then he responded to what Richard had asked him;
"I have about a week in vacation time. Use it or lose it, right?"

"Yeah, I guess." Did Richard have any time in vacation time? He had only been there for half a year, so he doubted it. It seemed Kain didn't know what Richard was intending to do, which could be both a good thing and a bad thing. "I won't be going back today either. I figured I'd find a hotel and spend the night, perhaps travel to the country-side tomorrow." Were they supposed to spend that time together, the three of them? At first, it had been a short trip that he and Azkar, and perhaps a few other would take, but everything had changed in the few hours after returning from the mission. "So..." he realized that apart from DICE -which it was not the right place or time to bring up- they didn't really have much to talk about. "Ehm... people ready to order?"

 

[Ruedyn]

"So... Ehm... people ready to order?"
"Yes, I suppose." He leaned in a bit and spoke quietly,
"What is the REAL reason you made a spontaneous trip to France?" the waiter walked up, giving Kain a questioning glance.
"Oh, Puis-je avoir un verre de vin rouge?" he was glad he practiced that.

 

[DarkRawen]

"Yes, I suppose." He leaned in a bit and spoke quietly,
"What is the REAL reason you made a spontaneous trip to France?"

"I haven't even told you the fake one," Richard said without thinking. And then he closed his eyes, and face-palmed. "I mean, nothing much. I just needed to get away for a while, I was getting tired of everything." He then looked at the waiter. "The Entrecôte with baked potatoes and a salad. I want it very rare. Also, I'll take a good red wine from about the upper middle of the price-class." The waiter looked at him with the "Oh, another tourist" look, but nodded. Richard stopped there, and decided Azkar could order her own food, she spoke the goddamn language.

"If you don't mind me saying, we should just narrow down the possible locations of the Kouza further, though it would help if we had some eyes in the sky..." Eligor commented, responding to the earlier comment about there being a large area to cover.

"That might be possible." Isaac added. "We could probably say that whenever a single demon was spotted once in an area and never again, that was where it's intended target was. Every time someone reported multiple Kouza in one area, or there were multiple sightings over time, they were seeing them coming from an emergence point. So that would knock it down too... Walton Street and Royal Avenue. We could probably split up and search both spots, then just call the others if we find something."

"Thats certainly sounds like a good idea Isaac, thank you for suggesting it. Dividing the team in two will mean we can cover both of the suspected targets with relatively ease and a short amount of time." Isabelle remarked, although she was stating what was probably the obvious, she had to commend Isaac for figuring out the locations quickly.

"Right then, here is how the team will be split. Myself and Vayle, along with Sophia and Adriana will investigate Royal Avenue; whilst Garath, Eligor, Aaron and Isaac will search Walton Street. Any objections to the way that teams have been organised?" Isabelle asked wanting their opinion.

"No," replied Garath, it sounded like a good plan to him, and while he didn't really care for Isaac he had to admit the man was skilled. He hoped Isaac had some concept of subtlety though, he doubted he could aid Isaac much with his illusions otherwise.

As for Aaron he wasn't sure about him, he hadn't worked with him closely before, he knew he had been on the Russia mission but couldn't remember what the man was capable of.

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Huh. Yeah, I guess so. Say, you aren't from around here, are you? You freelance?"

"Always. The call from Christina was actually the first I've heard of DICE. Well...DICE as it is anyway"

"Right then, here is how the team will be split. Myself and Vayle, along with Sophia and Adriana will investigate Royal Avenue; whilst Garath, Eligor, Aaron and Isaac will search Walton Street. Any objections to the way that teams have been organised?"

"That sounds fine. Means I can get better acquainted with Mr. Pertition" Isaac stopped talking and furrowed his brow. "Pertition. Pertition..." He stared off into space for a moment as if he was trying to think of something, but shook his head and snapped back to reality. "Adriana. Any objections?"

"None here"

"Alright cool"

Isaac took Eligor back from Adriana and stepped towards Vayle. He forced his free hand to glow green and touched her lightly on the forehead for about 12 seconds, then broke off with her and stepped over towards Aaron and Garath.

"Alright. If we're all done here we can get moving"

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar smiled at the waiter and ordered "Pourrais-je s'il vous plaît jeter les steak frites, moyennes rare, et un verre d'eau? merci." The waiter gave a little nod of approval. Azkar turned back to Richard and Kain's conversation "I don't want to go back to base, my room is a shoebox. Also I have some money due to back pay. No thanks to D.I.C.E. The UN may have only had a report with everything classified on me, but when an accountant over there noticed that one of the blacked out sections changed to Human, they put through paperwork demanding I be compensated." Azkar smiled and went to put a napkin on her lap, but kind of sat there awkwardly realizing she didn't have one anymore, what was left was too short. The waiter gave her a sad smile and helped push her chair in a little more. Then went off on his way.

Azkar turned back around and smiled "Well now, secret reason for being here implies there is an actual reason. Sharing is caring Richard."

 

[DarkRawen]

"Well now, secret reason for being here implies there is an actual reason. Sharing is caring Richard."

"I just told you guys, I wanted to leave DICE for a while. I'm not... well, accustomed to working together with people, and I don't like the restrictions and obligations the place gives me. Not that I had any choice but to join, but that's another story completely." Richard sighted. "Anyways, let's talk about something else, please?" He didn't want to be put in a bad situation. He tilted his head and smiled innocently. "Please? Por favor?" he said, not realizing it was Spanish.

 

[Shadowstar38]

Since the three of them entered the building, a blond man wearing a white suit and white gloves has been looking over at the group. After they sat down, the man continues to stare over at their table; taking a particular interest in Azkar.

When Azkar catches a glimpse at him looking over at her, he gives her a warm smile and waves at her. He doesn't at all seem put off by the wheelchair.

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar spotted someone staring at her from across the room. Giving her a warm smile and a wave. Azkar didn't know them and thought it was a little creepy. "There's some guy staring at me and waving. It took me too long to get my chair here, so if anyone is curious about the weirdo, they can go talk to him." Azkar pointed at the guy so Richard and Kain could see him then sat back and tried to avoid eye contact with the guy.

 

[DarkRawen]

"There's some guy staring at me and waving. It took me too long to get my chair here, so if anyone is curious about the weirdo, they can go talk to him."

Richard looked at the man she was talking about, and looked at Azkar again. "He's actually staring at you, huh? That's... well, I'm not sure what to say." He shrugged. "Just ignore him, either he will go away, or we'll be able to tell the waiter and they'll chase him out." Why was the guy smiling and looking so... cheerful? Something made Richard want to hit him, he didn't know what. "Anyways, anyone know how---" Richard could still see the guy. "Something about that man makes me want to hurt him," he muttered, and then realized that he had said it so that Azkar and Kain could hear it, and smiled apologetic. "Well, I won't, but still."

 

[Shadowstar38]

After the man finished his meal, he called the waiter over and paid his bill. After the waiter left him, the man took out a pen and wrote something on the table's napkin. The man delicately folded it into a crane, held it outwards, and breathed onto it.

The paper crane sprang to life and flew over to Azkar, landing on her chair. A message for her was on it's wing.

"Please meet me outside. I think we can help each other"

The man finally got up, bowed to Azkar, and exited out the resturant quietly.

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar took the paper crane and placed it on the table. "This better not take long, my food will be ready soon." Azkar sighed and let Kain help move her back into her wheelchair. Before she went out she made an act of searching her case for her handbag. She slid her 92FS into a pocket inside her hoodie. She then closed it and wheeled outside, giving the waiter a smile.

Azkar wheeled up to the guy. "Your note was in English. What do you think I could help you with? Sorry if I'm being rude but I don't get to eat out very often and you're putting a downer on the experience." Azkar would have been tapping her feet, but she didn't have any. She waited for the man wearing an abnormal amount of white to reply.

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Your note was in English. What do you think I could help you with? Sorry if I'm being rude but I don't get to eat out very often and you're putting a downer on the experience."

"I'm sorry to intrude on your evening miss" This man spoke in a very soft and polite voice, "I just happened to notice your. Um. Current predicament" He tried his best not to outright talk about her lack of limbs.

"I was wondering if I could perhaps, help in repairing the damage"

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar simply said "And what's in it for you. Hmm?" She wasn't really in the mood for games. Plus her food would be ready soon. She had been having fun losing herself in the moment and this guy was starting to piss her off.

 

[Shadowstar38]

"And what's in it for you. Hmm?"

"What I'd be getting in return is rather simple. I'd get the chance to finally perform my procedure and prove it works. Hopefully I can start using it for others like yourself after this. That is, of course, if you're interested"

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar folded her arms "What kind of procedure? Details may tip if I agree or not."

 

[DarkRawen]

Azkar had gone outside to talk to that weird man, and Richard and Kain was waiting for her. After a while, the food arrived, and Richard stood up, unable to wait anymore. "I'll check what is taking so long," he murmured. Why was he angry? He didn't quite know, only that it bothered him. He passed the head-waiter on the way out, who sent him a questioning look. "I'm sorry, I'm just going check how she's doing out there," Richard said, smiling, and opened the door to see the two of them talking and having a conversation. Nothing seemed to be wrong, but Richard frowned.

"What kind of procedure? Details may tip if I agree or not."

Procedure? For what? "Hey, Azkar, the food is served," Richard interrupted, sending the guy in white an obviously annoyed look. "Who is this guy? Did you find out why he stared at you?" He said it loudly, so that the guy would obviously hear it. Something about the whole ordeal really managed to make an impression on Richard. If only he found out why.

 

[Ruedyn]

Kain was bothered as well, his feeling of unease wasn't helped with his creepy white ass around. He got up, standing a bit behind Richard, using his above average hearing to listen in. Kain didn't think he could make it out in time in case things got heated, unless Richard proved a decent distraction, but even then the odds of saving them both was slim at best.
He moved to a back door, quickly but slow enough to not get noticed. When he got out, he stood next to the restaurant, able to hear better and move faster just in case. He leaned against the wall with a practiced nonchalance.
