Hunting for supplies

[Akira Sasuke]

[ModNote: Continued from On the Run.]

*Akira headed over to the market place, realising that this would be the best place for gathering information as to her whereabouts. She walked through the market place, browsing the stalls as she did so, and listening discreetly into the conversations as she did so*

[Shadow Voice]

*However as discreet as Akira was in her attempt to gather information, she still wasn't discreet enough to go unnoticed by someone whos profesion was gathering information.*

*From within the entrence to an allyway, that was shrouded in murky shadows. A figure watched her waiting for her to come neerer so as to make contact. Unwilling to step clear of the Shadows that conceald him, he waited like a spider awating a fly to enter his parler.*

[ModNote: Shadow Voice was last heard from in Blackmail in The Mail.]

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira stopped at one of the stalls close to the alley where Shadow Voice was lurking, and started to peruse the items for sale, looking as if she hadn't a care in the world. She straightened up and then looked around as if looking for other stalls that were interesting. A stall past the alley seemed to catch her eye, and she set off towards it with a spring in her step*

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice saw his oppatunity.*

"Looking for something perticular?? Well you've certianly come to the right place."

*Takes a last drag of his ciggeret, then drops its stub to the ground and steps on it extingushing its dieing embers.*

"However i'd wager that what you seek can't be found among the trinkets and baubbles of the comman merchents. Because what you seek although as powerfull as any weapon has no soild form."

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira glanced over at Shadow Voice, and looked coolly at him*

"You do know that's a terrible habit? ANd what would I be looking for?"

*Akira's voice is completely neutral as she looks at Shadow Voice*

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice meerley sneered at Akira's tuant about his smokeing (not that Akira could see this mind you) and simply took another cigerett out from his robes put it in his mouth and then scraped a match against the neerest wall.*

*The small flame that flickerd into life illuminated a hand that was well manicured and denoted someone of a well to do nature, but as it then travled up to the face that impresion changed for the robes were thouse of someone who lived on the street. And when it got to and illuminated the face, it was weather beaten, the hair black with flecks of grey, the mouth from which the ciggerett dangled resembled a dagger slash more then a mouth.*

*And the eyes. They sort of reminded Akira of the Gehsia girls back home, they were as black as pitch but unlike thouse of the gehsias, there was no warmth in these eyes they were as lifless as a dolls eyes. Sudenly the flame was gone and again the face became nothing more then a silluet, only now with a faint organe glow were the mouth was.*

"What you seek my dear girl is...unless i'm very much mistaken. Which I dought highly is Information. And that."

*Shadow Voice blew out some smoke.*

"Is my buissnes. My bread and butter you might say."

*he said with a slight chuckle although there was no real hummor in the chuckle.*

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira looked blandly at Shadow Voice, a slight smile playing across her lips, as she moved casually towards him*

"And what would your price be for the gems of information that you claim to possess?"

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice puffed out a cloud of smoke that hung over Akira's head for a moment or two befor it disapated.*

"A small service nothing of much conserquence."

*Smiles sinisterly, but agin the shadows maskes this from Akira's view.*

"In return i'll give you some information. You'll find that that is how it works round here both money and bartering with services they both can get you most anything in Wolfenden."

"So what do you say Miss?? Do we have a Deal??"

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira smiled blandly as the smoke floated over her head and then vanished*

"You are aware, that that is an extremely rude thing to do?" SHe said conversationally as she walked slowly towards him

"And what form does this service you require take?"

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice gave a low short laugh.*

"Simply a meer delivery and collection my dear. As i say a meer triffle of no major concequences."

"What say you My sweet? A Simple errand and in exchange you get something of infenitly more importence and concequence. Information...the strongest force in any realm."

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira's face was a mask of inscrutability as she looked at Shadow Voice*

"You haven't explained yourself, what would I be delivering and collecting?"

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice smiled again.*

"You ever heard the saying Curiosity killed the cat??"

*He said as he rummaged in his robes. He then brought out a small Green Jem.*

"You'd be delivering this. To a freind of mine and then returning to me what he gives you in exchange."

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira's face remained completely impassive as she looked at the gem in Shadow Voice's hand, then said distastefully, "I hope it;s not stolen!"

[Shadow Voice]

*Shadow Voice sneered.*

"Suspisious little thing arn't you??"


"Well you can lay any fears you may have about my legal ownership of this stone. It is all above board. I arranegd with a buissnes asoshiate of mine to aquire something, that i was in need of."

"In return he would get two Green stones, Arkan stones as there known. He got one up front and this one now as i have haerd he as obtained the item. I can't go to the place he's dicated the trad eto take place so i need an emisery to go for me."

[Akira Sasuke]

*Akira folded her arms and looked coldly at Shadow Voice*

"You can hide in the shadows, but you can't do your own dirty work? Is that it?" She said mockingly


"Fine, I'll do your dirty little job for you, if there's any trouble, I promise you, I'll find you, and you'll wish you'd never met me!"

*Akira held out her hand for the stones*
