So the City got a change of gods? Ain't like it concern me none. If this world anything like mine, it don't matter who in charge--life go on the same down here.

Cat been less of a terror since he got his stuff back. But he still think he in charge here, and that ain't right.

People talking 'bout some Hina thing today. What's that all about?

I'm sure you'll find it doesn't much matter any way you go about it.

I watch. I wait. I offer my services and get slivers of information in return.

No, but if you want to establish yourself in the City, you might consider befriending them. Even in the Underground, they have sway.

No, no drugs. For drugs, I suppose...

Well, the last one who had drugs publicly in the City was Socrates.

You don't just move like a spider, do you.

I don't know 'bout befriendin' them, but I can keep an eye on them at least.

I ain't had much trouble findin' them that deal drugs here--it work almost the same in any city. Even though they ain't really illegal here, them that deal 'em too used to workin' in the dark to stop. Most of 'em, anyway--the ones that work in the light, I leave alone. They ain't playin' the game; they doin' something else entirely.

Socrates?

[repairedbywebs]

What are you suggesting?

It is illegal, but there's simply no time for the police force to handle it.

You may find him at the beach, if you like, but he may be a disappointment. He is to me.

It was just a comment, yo.

Heh. If the police ain't got the time to go after drugs, they sure ain't got the time to go after them that rob the dealers. This City got its perks.

A disappointment?

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

I'm only remarking.

Yes, a disappointment. He's my brother.

Private//unhackable

[blue_satin_pjs]

Your real one?

Not from some curse?

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

That's right. My real brother.

Half brother, technically. We only share a father.

Private//unhackable

[blue_satin_pjs]

I understand. My brother ain't so fierce neither.

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

Mine is simply an idiot.

When I told you I had a great number of siblings from a rather promiscuous father, I wasn't lying.

Private//unhackable

[blue_satin_pjs]

...Oh, I thought that was just part of the curse.

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

I am the youngest of ten.

Private//unhackable

[blue_satin_pjs]

No kidding?

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

No kidding.

Socrates is the second youngest, but you would think he's 17 and not 28.

Private//unhackable

[blue_satin_pjs]

How that work?

Private//unhackable

[repairedbywebs]

He's an idiot.
