(WotS) Discovery

[Key]

The drug that had washed through Sacramento relatively quickly last year is still on the market, in fact some people would consider it more than just simply "tolerated" by the state but actively "allowed", specifically as the War on Drugs isn't directly targeting it for one reason or another.

But like many drugs even the addictive qualities can sometimes be changed, especially if 'new flavors' hit the market.

The most recent addition to the "Shoot or snort" drug are tabs that people at clubs just slip under their tongue and go for a ride. Downside is that, although it's apparently the high of your life, it's addicting as hell.

It comes in ten colors the most popular being: White, Blue, Pink, and Purple.

Of course, such a thing calls for some level of investigation, and the characters find themselves in a college bar somewhere near SacState, but on the Sacramento side of the American River.

Finding the drugs won't be hard, feel free to roll your Spells, any spells that aren't cast onsite need to have duration factors added into them. Any other opening rolls you intend to make, feel free to do those as well.

Despite his best intentions, Miach's unstable condition hadn't allowed him to fight off the need for Glo yet, and he had had to rely on it - temporarily, of course - to get back his former life. Knowing his first-hand knowledge of it could prove useful, he had reluctantly agreed to keep on investigating the ins and outs of it. And if he so happened to stumble upon some Glo on the way, well, who could put it to better use than he, really - he had come to think.

So there he was, in a college bar where he expected to find the Glo, and hopefully some lead to the people actually behind it. If he was right, the fact that it still circulated meant that other Awakened were held hostage as he had, and the mere thought made him sick. This needed to be brought to an halt !

He was painfully aware of how exposed he was, though, and the skittery mage looked nervously left and right for any potential threat. he hoped that his Sight would alert him to potential Banishers, at least, but he was as alert for a mundane gun... his left hand protectively put on his groin stitched.

It was now two days ago, since Bishop had spent some time with an aquaintance of his, two days since he had learned about the scourge known as Glo. It intrigued him. The officer had told him, that this drug eluded medical checks and even though Bishop did not give too much credit to bar talk, it was interesting nonetheless. Naturally, the officer had insisted, that anything Bishop learned had to be channelled to him, but that was just the usual justification for spilling the juicy bits of their day to day work.

So Bishop decided to take a walk among the college populace of Sacramento - if you were looking for drugs, this was your best bet. Which had led him here. Dressed in blue jeans and a collared shirt without a tie and a worn-out leather west over the whole attire, he had taken a cab from his apartment to this den of sins. He tried to remember his time in college, but it was not nearly as noisy as this - at least that was what he thought.

The bar was filled with people, most of them half of Bishops age.

<Have I really ever been that young?> he mused, while taking a look around.

He noticed the blonde man with the haunted look and gazed at him for a while. He could not see anyone associating with him. And the man seemed very nervous.

<Strung out? Looking for someone or something?> Bishop thought.

He made his way through the masses, when he noticed the faint glitter in the mans pattern.

"Evening, sir. You look quite awake for this time of the day. Are you waiting for someone?" Bishop asked politely and as discreetly as possible in the noise of approximately fifty-plus college affiliated youths.

ST Note: Unfortunately, due to Contagion (pg 128 MtA), Bishop's Grim Sight has only 3 Successes

[Miach]

Looking left and right with hardly a pause, Miach noticed early the elder man making his way toward him. He tensed, and eyed him warily, for he was no mundane passerby. His aura was proof of it. The Acanthus answered the careful question with as much half-spoken words.

"Good evening. I'm... not much for Sleeping, I must say. You seem to share this... temperament."

Call it a hunch, caution, or paranoia, his eyes carefully detailed him, but still darted now and then in the throng. He had not identified Kiko yet, though.

[Samaritan]

Bishop gave a careful nod.
"You might say that." He took a look around and sighed. "This isn't my natural environment though, I have to admit. But then again, sometimes one must go where the work is."

Bishop was momentarily distracted by the swirling mass of students passing him.

He took a look around, pushing the noise and the other impressions a little into the background and focusing on the things he could see.

OOC

If relevant, Miach has the Danger Sense Merit

Miach nodded in noncommital assent to the man, but his eyes kept on darting left, right, left, right, left... barely staying on anyone for any length of time, and on Bishop hardly longer.

"And who may you be working for ?" he asked hurriedly as his breathing quickened and his self-control loosened. He was only half-listening admittedly, and his mind was already trying to figure out the quickest escape route to the outside. It wouldn't be easy through the crowd, alas, but it didn't keep him from thinking about it.
