Happenstance shrugged at Mez's suggestion that his eagerness could betray some ulterior motive. He took a seat beside the other player and said matter-of-factly, "Since I haven't done anything wrong I don't see why I ought to act all skittish like the rest of 'em. Besides, I have an alibi." He jabbed his thumb at the barkeep, "Just ask him where I was last night."

The barkeep, a grisly man with a big red beard, nodded as he brought Hap's requested breakfast. "Damn if I have to hear another one of his bad jokes," he grumbled, "It was all I could do to keep him stuffing his face so that he'd shut up."

"Hey now! They were funny!" Hap pretended to be hurt, but then giggled childishly. "Hey uh, Mr. MezmeriSin," he turned his attention back to his new friend, "What's blue and doesn't weight very much?" He paused dramatically, raising his eyebrows before answering his own question, "Light blue!" The barkeep groaned and went back to doing whatever it was barkeeps do, Hap didn't really pay much attention to those sorts of details. 

As MezmeriSin ordered another round, Hap tried to hide his smile. Light blue, hah! He shook his head and tried to put on a more serious face. When the man began questioning him he said, "Allow me to demonstrate my powers of deduction on that one. If you mean 'do you know who I am?' in the literal sense, I'd say some cheeky fellow who goes by the name of MezermiSin who thinks he's kind of edgy. If you mean something more like have I heard of you and your grand exploits, nada. But since your first question relates greatly to your second question I'm thinking you meant something along the lines of 'I'm Batman and this city needs me' AKA some kind of self-imposed local law enforcement here to right a wrong and uphold justice. Go ahead and tell me to shut up if I'm wrong, but if not then I'll just keep talking."

He took a bite of scrambled eggs before continuing, gesturing with the fork in his hand. "You're here to get the details on a certain PKer who was at a certain tavern (that's here) last night and killed another certain player (I didn't catch his name, sorry) among other things." He went on to describe in vivid detail the events of the previous night, pausing every so often to eat and drink. He explained how the player Dark Arrow Mora showed up and forced the victim into a duel, and how she left, and how another person had followed her but Hap hadn't noticed him beforehand so he couldn't give much more information. "I think his username was something like 'Darrel Mountain' or something, I'm probably wrong so don't quote me on it." He then explained how most of the patrons skedaddled after that, so the majority of the people in the room had come after that happened and didn't know very much. 

"So anyway," he polished off the last bite of pancake, "That's when you and your guild buddies showed up. That's all I got." Happenstance drained his cup and then wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "Thanks for breakfast by the way."
