Voyage Approval: Here

Raijin wore a large brown cloak that covered his extremely giant body. He was trying to be inconspicious. Something he was never good at doing. But today he wanted nothing to be left to the imagination, so he gave it his best try. Hiding his large snout behind cloak was laughable but from a distance it would work.

He was waiting in an alley between places of business, a food store and a shoe store. Raijin was with another Rev as well. They were merely waiting for their contact to show. The contact was the reason for Raijin's shady entrance into the Common Grounds.

The man would be the third party initiate between a Nobleman in the Emerald District. He wanted to exchange information, but for a price. Speaking of price Raijin needed beli for a venture of his as well. He was helping Judan could help him out when he arrived.

Rajin leaned against the wall and thought of the gameplan. The contact had reached out to him because of his connections within the Revolutionary Army. Being Lietuenant he was able to see more and do more than the average soldier.

The Nobleman was especially interested in being a regular contact. As if he wanted a long relationship, possibly to further his own career. Or something else was happening behind the scenes. The Queens dangerous moves against the guilds was known all over the Kingdom, not it seemed as if she was biding her time. Raijin would work his way up to the Queen. If they were lucky, they could deal a massive blow against her. And lower her influence and power.

There was pause in the air. Suddenly a thud could be heard from behind Raijin. His large ears twitched under the large brown cloak. It seemed that Judan had arrived. Two Revolutionaries were in the Common Ground city, which was dangerous enough as is. The Guilds brought unnecessary attention to the place and it made it hard to move in city. Something Raijin would have to deal with eventually. He would need not only the Nobles but the Common Ground Guilds to play a major role in this operation.

It all would start with his contact. Judan came up behind him asking where his contact was. He also handed him a bag filled with beli for the contact. As if on cue. Down the alley it was as if a man materialized out of thin air. The man walked forward, the shadows hiding his presence however his silhouette could be seen. He was easily the size of Raijin, sporting a black cloak to hid his presence as well. He came within a few meters of them.

And it was Johnny who spoke first, "Thin man. This is my partner Judan. He's here to oversee negotiations."

"Negotiations will be short. There is only one thing we require from you." Thin man said, his sounds cackled and old. But filled with a certain malice that was indistinguishable.

Raijin eyes narrowed as he listened to his strong initiative. "We need this man to be removed." He took a small picture out of his cloak, and gave it so that Judan and Raijin could see it. The man looked familiar but there was nothing there that stood out. "He is the clients brother. He has outlived his usefulness. This will be payment instead of beli which we have plenty of."

"He wants us to kill a noble? And his brother on top of that. That'll take sometime to setup. However we want a guaranteed face to face meeting next time. And his seal."

"We are ready to provide an assurance to complete the job." The cloaked man also reached into his jacket and removed a small envelope. "All the information you need on the whereabouts and routes he takes daily. Complete this and you'll have my client in your debt."

Rajin looked back at Judan. It sounded like a crazy deal, but this would be their only chance to get on the same meeting ground with a Nobleman. However, Raijin liked the deal. "Just a moment." He turned around to Judan and said in a whisper, "They had this in the bag already. But sounds like our only play right now. I'm agreed to it. What say you?" He asked Judan.

Raijin mulled over Judans thoughts on the situation. It was definitely all too fishy with little to no blow back on their part but plenty to blame on the Revolution. Raijin checked the envelope, on the back of the letter he was surprised to see a seal. Not just any seal, it was a seal to one of the Noble houses in the Emerald District. This was impossible to come by and could have only been given by the holder of the seal.

Raijin showed the seal to Judan and said, "They just may be serious." Thin man was here perceptive, for he spoke on their feelings.

"I assure you. That seal is our resolve to do great things."

Raijin turned around and acknowledged his clever timing. Then looked back to Judan, to say, "You're right, the seal was the deal. I'm sure they are up to something but I think we can go along with it." The White tiger mink shifted slightly. The Thin man was unnerving but he was feared around the underground. He got the job done.

The seal would be their proof that if they flipped, they would investigated for it anyways. There's no doubt the Queen would tear them apart just from allegations alone. There was much to fear from the power of the Queen and her control over the Kingdom. Raijin would find out their nefarious plans soon enough. That offing the brother was just first part of a much large plot. At the moment, all Raijin could see was a dangerous bet. One he'd be willing to wager.

"We're in." Judan had added his two cents, after seeing the seal. The key ingredient to a new dangerous venture. With that Judan had agreed in starting this business relationship. Where they would doing the middle work for their bigger plans.

Raijin turned his attention to Thin man and said, "We agree. Along with a face to face after the deed is done. "

"Agree." Thin man said. "I will be lent to you as a liaison for this mission. We are serious on the matter. "

"You'll be hear from me. "

"I'll be waiting Raijin."

Thin man turned back around and walked down the long alleyway from where he first arrived. And just as eerie as he had arrived. He disappeared into thin air. Raijin guessed there was more than one reason why he was referred to as Thin Man. Sensing the meeting over. Judan took back to the roofs, scaling the walls like they were nothing. Before he took off however he looked back down to Raijin.

Informing him that there was fiften million beli inside the bag that Raijin assumed they'd need for the exchange. After the turn of events they did not need it for that anymore. Judan had said he should. Thankful Raijin saluted to Judan who disappeared. He was thankful for the back up and the donation, he could always use more money.

He tightened his cloak and started to make his way back out the alley and started headed back to headquarters. Raijin would have to some serious planning if all of this was to workout exactly how he wanted.
