You go through an agency?

@Zeal

Yeah. SideSlash DeathQuests Limited, apparently.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Sometimes, but the jobs I take on tend to be dangerous no matter what.
*pulls out a large battering ram that has a hole in the smaller end and wields it like a massive tonfa*

@Zeal

Of course it is.
*Sighs*
I need a new agent after this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yup! Was already in the Tavern and decided to bring aid.

@Zeal

Does SideSlash normally tell you the odds of these gigs killing you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Unfortunately that is not the case and it appears that I am in the right place.

@Zeal

Here for the quest?

*walks into the base scratching my head looking annoyed by the music and crowd*
Did I walk into the wrong place?

@Zeal

If your aim is to stay out of trouble... looks like it.

Let’s hear it for Lily and Joe, everyone!
*The concert-goers let out a thunderous, whooping cheer that drowns out the music and echoes over the valley below*

@Inimical

*Grumbles*
I hate this.

@Inimical

*The doors to the base are burst open by a huge gust of wind, revealing a massive floating platform hovering outside the base holding several thousand people all partying under colorful lights blaring through the night sky*
There. It. Is!
*The crowd explodes into a roar of chaotic applause as music continues*

@Inimical

*Flexes each of my fingers and reaches into a newly-formed pair of black magic circles, retrieving identical dual pistols with square barrels, which appear to be whole-carved from a single piece of metal*
We better be getting paid for this.

*You hear the low rumblings of music and the ecstatic cheers of a crowd*
Long story. Some people were expecting me to show up to a huge show. I didn’t, even though I was tempted, but it turned out to be bait and they’re after me. So, now the encore is coming to me. Now us.

@Melodious

Is this what you called about, or is this a bonus?

*Outside the entrance to the building, a low rumbling can be both felt and heard, as something massive suddenly warps to the planet*
Me. Your timing is either terrible or horrendous. And if you’re here as my enemy, it’s both.

@Melodious

*Looks up, listening for anything identifiable*
That’s usually how it goes for us. What did we just walk into?
