[EVENT] Police Auction @ Exposé Park

[silverwind9]

It's a beautiful sunny afternoon at Exposé Park, perfect weather for the First (Re)Annual Police Auction. A short glance about the place quickly makes it apparent why the location was chosen; there is a wide open space in the center of the park for people to gather, and there a stage, small tent (no doubt for auction items) and sound system have

100 men enter

*Shi-Long Lang walks onto the scene from the street - and a seemingly endless stream of men follow him in. Outside of Shi-Long, none of them are dressed as if they're on duty, the majority opting for khaki shorts and flip-flops, though all of them still wear their sunglasses. When he stops, they stop as a single body*

All right! All of you know what you want to see?

"YES, SHIFU!"

Good. Stick to your browsing buddies, and keep an ear open in case I call. Dismissed.

*the hundred men drift apart slowly, ambling off in pairs or dozens, while Shi-Long takes in the scene*

[alphashifu]

Heh. Same to you, so long as we aren't eyeing the same thing.

[iflyfirstclass]

*smiles* Naturally.

I should excuse myself now, Mr. Lang. It was very nice chatting with you. I assume I'll be seeing you again shortly on your flight back to Zheng Fa?

[alphashifu]

Can't say tha will be, but I'm sure I'll see you on the flight. Good afternoon, Ms. Teneiro.

[iflyfirstclass]

Thank you for your continued patronage, Mr. Lang. Have a wonderful day.

*with that, she turns and shuffles off into the crowd*

[feymous]

*separated from Nick, Maya wanders through the crowd, looking at all of the cops* Sure are a lot of weird-dressed guys here. *in her haste, she bumps into the weirdest-dressed one, probably.* Oof-!

[alphashifu]

*he is barely jostled and his hand falls on her shoulder in a flash, steadying her in case she should lose her balance*

Careful where you're running, kid. Never know who you might slam into.

[feymous]

*she goggles, not even really sure at all what she's seeing* Uhhh... Sorry! There's a lot of people here, I guess I got distracted. You're OK, right?

[alphashifu]

Yeah, sorry about that - a lot of them are my people. Try not to run into any of the guys in sunglasses walking around in pairs.

And yeah, I'm fine. Didn't hurt yourself, did you? Easy to twist an ankle or something.

[feymous]

Oh, yeah? Wait, actually... sunglasses...? *it teases at the edge of her recollection, but she can't remember the fact that she saw the same mass of humanity at Gatewater Park before they got shuffled out, so she lets it go*

Nah, nevermind. And nope, I'm pretty sturdy. Used to walking on sandals. *She lifts a foot and turns it around.* Thanks for asking, though, Mr...?

[alphashifu]

Heh, forgive my rudeness. I'm Shi-Long Lang, a detective. Who might you be?

[feymous]

*she gives him a bow, hands teepled* Nice to meet you Detective Lang. I'm Maya Fey, soon-to-be-master of the Fey Clan.

[alphashifu]

*flinches* Maya Fey of the Fey Clan? As in the "we can summon the dead to work out the problems of the living" Fey Clan? That Fey Clan?

[feymous]

Yyyyyup. I guess you've heard of us, huh?

[alphashifu]

,,,My government's been alternatively claiming you're all either charlatans or dead since my grandfather was a boy, but yeah, I've heard of you.

[feymous]

Well... Some of us are dead, so it's half right if that makes you feel any better. Although I don't really know what a charlatan is, I'm pretty sure I'm not one.
