Jay made a quick selection from the menu, just some mid level scotch for himself and Jeon, and deposited the 200 ryo into the tip jar. All about appearances. He did speak again, a bit lower this time. "Im most interested in whoever is in charge of the Kurkasa family, though locations of anyone big would be helpful." Meanwhile, Jeon smiled at the man as she waited for her own drink to come, and slapped another 200 ryo into the jar. When it did arrive, she'd tip her glass tot he man she'd looked over, and take hers down as well. Jay waited for the bartender to give him whatever information he would deem worth while.

Magnus briefly turned his attention to Whise and pointed at the table of surly gangsters who had come in earlier. If the rogue looked, they'd be staring at him with creepy smiles on their faces and one of them would rub their fingers together to signify "money". The whole situation would reek of them being some idiots with cash and a terrible plan that would probably go south about five seconds into the heist.
Meanwhile, the bartender-in-chief drew up a crude map of Sasagi city on a napkin and marked the location of the Kurokasa mansion with an 'X'. He'd hand it over to the twins after pouring their drinks.
"It should be hard to miss," he told them. "Lavish decor and a ton of security. If you aim to talk to the current head of the Kurokasa, it's recommended you bring a gift of some kind as a show of respect. Gangs you'll find pretty much anywhere you look and the Shinjiro operate primarily in and around their factory's grounds. Those are the parties most relevant to your interests, though there are more."

The twins nodded as he gave them the map. The twins had indeed seen the place, they just hadn't ever actually made the connection because, well, they were effectively tourists. They got up from the bar, nodding a thanks to Magnus. "Well, I suppose we have a heading then!" Jay spoke to their informant. He didn't bother with a name, because he figured he'd run into him again at some point or another. The twins gave not even a cursory glance towards anybody else as they left the bar. Outside, they met back up with the others, who fell in step. Oro gave a curious glance over the map that they took from the bartender. "Ah, so that's where the big dogs live, huh. We gonna go throw some oil on a fire?" he inquired to Jeon, wondering if this was where they'd be gathering the gang leaders together. "Plan's changed a bit. We're gonna meet with him ourselves. We'll meet up with the rogues a little later on." Hino wondered why the sudden change in plans, but he didn't ask any questions himself.

Whise accepted the girls toast and finished his drink as well, he had to go speak with these idiots anyways. Ignoring the fact that they specifically asked for the kurokasa family. Whise got up and walked over to his potential clients."Hey boys, Chi Ka Go Cubs right? Great name." Whise pulled a stool over and sat down at the desk."I'm interested in listening to your proposal for this heist. If I like it, we will go from there." In the back of his mind he was thinking about what those kids wanted. If he had to go back and deal with them that would be fairly annoying.

The idiots scooted over to make room at the table and didn't scoot back when Whise pulled up his own stool.
"Roight? Solid one, innit?" one of the younger Cubs responded to Whise's compliment.
"Okay, bruv, you know that Kissy-Naggy Casino? The big fancy one wit' all the gamblin' addicts in it sun-up, sun-down. They got a big pot o' gold in the back, more cash 'n you can shake a stick at." This member was older, though it was hard to tell their exact ages since a life on the streets had sapped all the idiots of their youth to some extent. "We gonna get in there, knock out a few guys, take their uniforms, and walk straight back into the vault with no alarms, you get me? Then we walk out with the dough and live like kings!"

That was probably the stupidest plan he's ever heard in his life. He probably dropped a few IQ points just listening to it. Whise put on a fake smile because his mask was still down from drinking the idiots could actually see it."With a plan like that! What could go wrong?!?" He once again said enthusiastically but with sarcastic overtones . It would probably go over the idiots heads."So what is my part exactly in this? I'm I going in with you? Am I gonna guard the vault? Or am I just gonna be there in case anything happens?" He was thinking what he could do, he'd definitely need a disguise to hide his look. If he's looking to work with Shirley later on.

"Right, bruv? Foolproof, innit!" the older member of the Cubs responded, shooting Whise a couple of thumbs-ups. "Way I see it, your type are good at the heavy lifting, yeah? We need you to bop 'em guards on the noggins and give us a hand emptyin' the safe. End o' the day, we walk out the front door with them none the wiser, split it all even-stevens, you go on your merry way, an' we roll like ballers 'til we kick it. You in?"
There wasn't a trace of joking, nor any sign that they'd considered entry or exit strategies other than walking "out the front door", as he'd put it.

Atsuko entered with the group. Worse for wear, and down a visible member to be replaced with another. The boy was still following and seemed to have an interest in them, something that was very evident. Just the fact that he stayed meant he was already willing to die to help, and or he was a very resilient spy. Atsuko knew he would deal with him but that could be for later. Houou did say that he didn't want to let the UHV get away with this, so perhaps Zetsu was a sign.
Tapping on the bar for Magnus the disheveled leader of the Shishin waited. All of their clothes were damaged in some sense, but wounds were minor. Then visible lack of Houou would be very apparent though, as well as the rather serious and exhausted expression of Atsuko. When Magnus came Atsuko would ask for a safe place to put the cargo, in a matter of phrase. They would be willing to drop off all of the documents and the captured UHV agent.

The long journey had been quite hard on Zetsu. He had only truly seen the sun light through cracks in the caves, while exploring in his youth. His eyes stung the entire trip, despite his attempts to cover up. Sticking close to Atsuko, who seemed to be just a little older than himself, Zetsu would also take a seat at the bar, placing all of his confiscated documents on the counter, then his head in the palms of his hands. His mind was cluttered with thoughts. What would he do now that this group had reached its destination. They sacrificed so much in order to see Zetsu and the other scientists escape, even though they clearly did not need to. Zetsu’s mind trailed off on thoughts of Houou. Rage filled Zetsu’s eyes as he thought of the dirty tricks the UHV soldiers used on the off guard shinobi. Zetsu wanted to thank the man that had saved his life and because he was foolishly trying to save everyone he could....he now had lost his own life, leaving Zetsu with a heavy burden to bare. Zetsu couldn’t help but think Houou made an idiotic choice, but if not for his selfless act Zetsu would still be stuck in that room rotting away.
Tears began flowing down the evacuated young mans face. He was so confused as to how he should carry on in life. On one hand he had hated the UHV and wanted to get revenge for Houou. On the other hand he wanted to repay his life debt to the mysterious warriors that had liberated him. As the rage filled him more, the tears stopped falling, leaving behind only the moist trails the left behind. Zetsu lifted his head out of his palms and made eye contact with Atsuko.
“please, I beg of you. I....I owe you all my life. If I may be of any use to you....I would lay my life on the line just as houou did!”
Zetsu didn’t take notice of anyone else in the bar, he was so entranced by rage and so focused on acting now, that he let his mouth run on, no knowledge of shishin or how they operate...no knowledge of what he was attempting to enter.

Magnus would take some time to get the "cargo" squared away with help from a couple of his workers. Once that was taken care of, he'd look over the group, note the replacement of one of their members, and produce an envelope from under the counter.
"The information you've gathered looks to be extremely significant. I've arranged a slightly larger payout than normal for your activities along with some additional offers, should you desire them."
With those words and a smooth hand-off of the envelope, he would stand back to signify it was fine for them to leave. They looked like they needed some rest.
Arc Rewards:
AC: 5000. Ryou: 3300.
Bonus (pick up to two, no repeats):
1 Personal Attribute based on shady activities, codes, injury, or uncleanliness. (OR, for Zetsu only: 1 Personal Attribute based on fear, freedom, sacrifice, or loss.) +25 Chakra & Stamina. 10 free missions/training posts that come with (temporary) access to a teacher & dojo/academy (meaning you get learning reductions for those). Think of this as a very small time skip where your character goes and trains with an appropriate instructor, provided by Magnus. A Place to Stay: Magnus points you in the direction of a spot that would make for a really good hideout and helps you secure it, free of charge. Resting or enjoying downtime with others while in this location confers double recovery times to all involved. (A house thread you make gains the aforementioned effects. Link this post in the opening post as proof for where the effect comes from.)
Atsuko would take the rewards and bow to Magnus, leaving the bar with his group."If you want to assist us, follow us then. We don't have time to talk....not here. We are going to kumo to wrap these things up and then we will leave back to the base. Then we can stop" Atsuko stated with a grimace.

It had been two weeks since Zetsu and Artemis had been in the bar, minds noticeably clearer. While they were still in a great deal of mourning, As Atsuko put it, houou would not want shishin to remain stagnant and unproductive. The longer they remained inactive, the more opportunities the UHV had to rebuild. And Zetsu would not have that. He wanted to be able to pull his weight next time in battle. Like Houou, Zetsu adopted the fierce dedication and loyalty to shishin. He swore to never let the group suffer another loss before his eyes. Sitting next to Artemis on a vacant bar stool, Legs barely touching the floor, Zetsu looked to the nearest bartender.
“may I please see the owner?”
The young man asked, not even remembering what Magnus had looked like. For all he knew, the person he was speaking to could very well be the man he was seeking.

The bartender--one who was immaculately cleaned and pressed, the picture of professionalism--looked at Zetsu, glanced at Artemis, then started mixing a drink.
"Present and accounted for. How may I help you?" the bartender inquired, for this was the enigmatic Moderate Man himself: Magnus! "May I ask both of you what your favorite flavors are?"
Zetsu has not been allowed to eat luxury food under the UHV’s diligent watch. It’s not even sure if he knows the distinction between many flavors. Servicing on water and military rations, really did a number on him.
“I will have water please”
Zetsu asked with a very shameful look on his face. He was ashamed that he didn’t know enough about the world, to order a flavored drink. Artemis kindly asked for a kiwi flavored drink. Then suddenly, Zetsu snapped himself out of the downward spiral, remember what he had come to this village for. Standing up out of the stool, Zetsu have a sharp bow and voiced his thoughts while his face was still aiming at the ground.
“More importantly, I need your assistance Magnus. Please I know that you were relatively close to master Turtle. Please aid me in finding a master in the medical arts. I will dedicate my all to these skills.”
Zetsu remain bowed down, unsure of how Magnus would answer. The kid as so used to disappointment and doing things against his will, he never had the courage to ask for anything. This would have been his first request to anyone outside if Shishin.
Artemis tucked her smile behind the hand upholding her cheek as Zetsu asked Magnus where he could find Magnus. Magnus introduced himself with the same pleasantness he always carried in his disposition. And she wasn't much of a drinker - had actually always turned it down in this guild in preference for tea - but she trusted Magnus enough to drink what he offered her. "Raspberry," she insisted, sparing a glance at Zetsu. She was definitely still mad at the kid - and Atsuko would argue that its not his fault that Houou...
That was neither here nor there.
Though, it was also everywhere. She needed a distraction. Once the kid got some eiseijutsu under his belt, she'd be allowed to go off on her own for training or some nonsense that would keep her busy. She wanted distance from Zetsu but she wasn't willing to go back on her word to watch over him.
There was still a stiffness in her form when he mentioned Master Turtle. Any mention of Houou threatened to throw the delicate balance she'd woven together between denial and escapism, the only elements keeping her from the real sensation of loss.
