Paradise City Part 5

[Torlikoff]

The man looks up. He's an older man, with a worn down face and grey sides on his hair. He's wearing a grey suit.

"Yes, I am."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"We're the ones you called here to meet you."

 

[Torlikoff]

"I have had many people meet me, you should say for what."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Don't Stop Me Now appears next to Nicholas.

"I think our meeting is a bit different to theirs. We came here to find out what you know about the organization that once tried to have you killed."

 

[Crabwhale]

Michael just sort of sits around. He figures the old shit and the Saturday morning cartoon wacko have it under control.

 

[Kiryu2012]

Bear still resided in the car, the cat cleaning himself without a care.

 

[Overlord775]

"I have had many people meet me, you should say for what."

"We came here to ask for your help."

Joe responds

 

[Torlikoff]

"That kind of help. I see. We should go somewhere else for this then." He says, standing up. It's noticeable that he's rather tall but has something of a hunch.

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame watches.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"We've got an RV parked not too far away, we could talk there."

 

[Torlikoff]

"I'd rather we talk at my house."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Very well, lead the way then."

 

[Torlikoff]

Richard walks out the building to his car.

"Follow me then."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Nicholas walks to the RV and gets ready to drive after the man.

 

[Torlikoff]

The car shakily drives out, barely staying on the road. The car quickly reaches a small, nice house.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Nicholas exits the RV and waits for Richard.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Well come on in." He says, opening the door.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Alright."

Nicholas goes inside.

 

[Overlord775]

Joe also enters inside the house.

 

[Torlikoff]

The house is small, with a tight hallway leading to both a kitchen, a room to the side, and a living room with white couches.

 

[Jackythejack]

Stephanie waltzed in into the house and hummed, glancing around. "This place is looking rather cozy. I like it."

 

[Kiryu2012]

Quietly walking into the house, Bear hopped onto one of the couches and curled up into a ball.

 

[Overlord775]

Decent house.

"So, Richard, could you tell us what you know of the organization ?"

Joe asks him.

 

[Torlikoff]

"I could, but get the cat off the couch first."

The place seems cozy, with a small corner of the living room filled with various pieces of china. Next to that is a piano with various pictures on it. Abstract art lines the wall. There is a staircase going down and up along with a door to the backyard.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"The cat's with us actually. It's a Stand User."

 

[Kiryu2012]

Bear just idly licked his paw, refusing to leave the couch.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Well I still don't want it on the couch."

 

[Overlord775]

"Undestandable."

Joe spawns an open door beneat the cat, with the other door being located outside of the house, which he has eyesight of thanks to looking trought a nearby window.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Good, thank you very much."

 

[Kiryu2012]

Not enjoying getting effectively kicked out another house, Bear trotted off in annoyance, circling around to the front of the house before he laid down in the shade.

 

[Edwellken]

While stepping out of the RV, Jessica spots Bear lying in the shade. She crouches next to him and smiles.

 

[Torlikoff]

"What specifically are you wondering about? I know that you somehow got in a fight with these fellas, which was a very poor idea," he mutters the last part under his breath. "...but you've only been in town one day, and I haven't seen much of what you're trying.

 

[Kiryu2012]

Bear glanced up at the human crouching by him, before resuming laying in the shade. He'd allow it, as long as she didn't try petting him.

 

[Overlord775]

"For first thing, do you know the goal of the organization ?"

Joe asks to Richard.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Goal? Profit is what I'd say."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"What about their structure? Do you know anything about who runs what and who we'd need to take out to make the thing crumble?"

 

[Edwellken]

Jessica's smile grows bigger.

"Hey there little guy."

She reaches into her bag, pulling out some leftover fries to give the cat.

 

[Torlikoff]

"If we knew who runs this he'd be long gone by now. And it's not like you can kill one guy and have an entire organization crumble."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Well, do you know of anyone at all in the organization? Also, I'm curious as to what made you too dangerous to kill for them."

 

[Torlikoff]

"Anyone I know I put behind bars or gave them a more permanent solution."
