Friend or Foe Faux?
- “Beautiful” mohawk man sitting at Phox’s seat at The Slammer
- Phox: you looking for somebody
- Guy: oh i found you
- Phox: scoffs in his face and spooks the guy a little
- Guy: so, where’s my pocket watch?
- Phox: ??? wtf
- Guy: sit, let’s talk
- Phox can tell he’s faking his suave-ness, he is not actually cool
- Roux jacks in to view cams
- Recording active convo of Phox and guy and scrubbed thru footage of guy
- Came in looking like a jackass, pretending to be a big deal, bartender points to Phox’s table, ordered water, sitting looking cool and badass
- His name is Riddleriddle: Discusses with Phox that we have to get the watch back, since we were with Data when they sold it, and they got it from him
- Phox is adamant that it’s not our problem, guy threatens to call the cops
- Def not a gang member, mixed colors but no insignia, 1000% believes the cops would show if he called, muscles seem oddly stiff
- Stops him from dialing, Phox “intimidates” kinda: seems like you’re new here
- Guy eyes the place like he knows he isn’t blending in
- Phox knows the gang lieutenant for the area (IronClad), who is sitting at the bar
- Phox: this is a good place for information, news on your watch may have gotten around
- Phox calls over to IronClad to try to say things without saying things: could we give this guy a tour?
- IronClad: sorry we don’t do tours
- Phox points out the varied gang colors
- IronClad: what gang are you with?
- DoubleDiddle: uh, uh, … Maelstrom
- IronClad: really?? What tech you got?
- P.Diddle: uhhh, cyber arms “flexes” stiff arms a tiny bit
- IC & Phox discuss how the Maelstrom guys owe them a fight, half the bar joins and says the guy oughtta go in the ring
- Bitchboy folds immediately, takes off mohawk wig and unstuffs sleeves, he’s just a corpo mofo
- IronClad fucks off back to the bar
- P.Diddle’s real name is Swoyer, he works at city hall, “the watch is important to us”
- Brings out proof of city hall affiliation and whatnot
- Phox tries to recall about Data, nothing of note
- Data is not from the burbs (between japan & china)
- Phox was given the name of the fixer Data met with BULLSEYE
- Phox: ran into gangers on the way to sell it, Tyger Claws
- Swoyer: that’s concerning
- A fixer introduced Data to Swoyer and then they took the watch
- Karma joins at the table, pickpockets Swoyer’s burner and remembers the 8 digits typed out and hands it back, Swoyer asks him not to sit so close but he doesn’t move
- Swoyer: don’t sit so close to me
- Roux (with thousand yard stare not actually in the convo): the line is don’t “stand” so close to me
- Roux joins the table, sitting on the outside of Karma to leave Phox with an easy out
- Phox agrees to get the watch back, but it may not be as fast as Swoyer wants
- 3 days max, but earlier is better
- Concentration check for Karma and Roux to remember about the vendor that bought the watch: Roux knows it was a guy; Karma knows a sign at the booth said Quirks & Curios
- Swoyer gets pushy trying to leave, Roux grips her pistol and bristles
- Phox holds his shoulder getting out of the booth then chucks him away, then tries to card throw his biz card into Swoyer’s suit pocket, but just hits his shoulder and he keeps walking
