Fragments of a Distant Star (Darker than Black rp)

[Helbaworshipper]

Katsu looked a bit put out at the simple request. A bit odd that his napkin was folded so tight, he noticed without letting on. Pulling it to his lap and opening it without much of a care. When he read the contents, his eyes widened. "Strange... I thought that guy was dead already. Shwartz...the child killing dentist." He muttered beneath his breath.

"BK201 and his doll, I've been trying to get an article done on it. However, Pandora is a vast fortress. I only know various incidents right now and none of them have proved fruitful."

[GamerKale]

Cale let out a sigh, "Surely you must have some-Wait, did you say Shwartz? Dentist, about yea tall. Pulls out more dentist equipment than there are cows in a cattle drive. And likes to drill into you?" Cale had taken several steps forward without meaning to and was now leaning over the table.

( takumi appearance:

Takumi: { he throws on his jacket and a scarf as he walks outside the airport with his backpack on and he throws his hood up because its cold and he sticks his hands in his pocket as he walks through tokyo he stops every few blocks to look around the area but he keep walking as he walks past the building where katsu and kale are and he stares at the building} a news building hmmm ohh well I better get to the hotel before I freeze my chops off { he walks off towards a big hotel} ..................... sooo cold

Hei: { wearing a winter jacket while him and yin are about to go out} Yin ITs better if you dont spend all your days just inside come on lets...... get going

Yin: { nods as shes wearing a winter jacket boots gloves a scarf and a hat}

[Helbaworshipper]

"I'm no authority on the guy, but you certainly seem familiar with him. He was some half decent dentist in some rural town. One day some big actress married him. It ended up disastrous from what I remember, constant fighting." He took a breath, taking a sip from his tea. "After he divorced, kids from low income families started missing. Within the next few weeks they'd be found with their mouths bloody. There wasn't any proof, but the doctor had gone back into practice." Placing his cup down again, he yawned. "To be honest, they say something strange happened to him. Rumor has it that he became part of some group that met at the Ichiru bar. That's as far as I can tell you."

"Did you see who killed him?"

[GamerKale]

Cale took a deep breath and sat down. "If I did, what would it be worth to you?" So much for simple, it's not really part of my job but...if I can't find Hei then this should be a close second. And I'm curious.

[Helbaworshipper]

"It'd be interesting to know how the guy had been hiding all this time." Katsu's glasses flared, standing up slowly. "Have you heard of those odd murders? The ones they can't solve going around Japan? I've heard about them going around Europe as well."

[GamerKale]

"Can't say that I have. I'm CIA after all, American intelligence." Cale stood and walked over to Katsu. "More like trashman, anyways you seem to want to know about Shwartz then. I look into that for you, and you find out about The Black Reaper for me, deal?" He extended his hand towards the man.

[Helbaworshipper]

"I mention it because those murders started right after the saturn ring incident. BK201 is linked to these murders somehow. However, I want something else in exchange for my cooperation. I want information on those strings of murders." He slipped a piece of paper in Cale's hand. "That's the address of the Ichiru bar. Look for a woman named Hanazono and give her a twenty dollar bill. She'll know what it means. Anyone else won't understand you." He began to walk past Cale.

"Next time, don't come to the office. Wait at the cafe across from it around four in the afternoon." He opened the door, leaving without any real intention of letting Cale decide the terms.

Day 2: Afternoon

"It's going to snow soon." Emi smiled, her hand out as if to catch an invisible flake. "I hope it'll be real soon." A group of three were walking down a busy business street.

"You know Emi... You don't go clubbing with us anymore." The two standing beside her seemed concerned. "Every since that stalker incident you don't like going out late at night."

"I don't? Well, I get busy doing work for the store."

Takumi: { he walks into a hotel} hey Im here for my uhhh reservation

clerk: ohhh yeah sure whats the name

Takumi: nishizima

Clerk: onhhh yes right here the room was pre paid for and a man in a suit left this for you { hands takumi a note}

Takumi: { he takes the note and he reads it as he takes the key and once he steps into the elevator} soo I have to go retrieve some sort of crystal from pandora but before that I need to find some guy and question him......... I guess I'l have some fun { he sets his bag down in a really big and nice room he walks back outside fully dressed in his coat and scarf} time for work { he starts walking to the park}

[GamerKale]

"Friendly guy, ain't he? Didn't even shake, well I guess guys like him aren't the most trustworthy." Course, neither are guys in my position. Cale memorized the name and the note. "This is going to be a long job, I'm going to need a lot of cigarettes." Cale leaves the office and heads directly for the bar, after picking up a pack of cigarettes. Hanazono, wonder who she is. He gets some sake at the bar, slightly annoyed at the lack of scotch, but when in Rome. Cale sits where he can see everyone in the place, trying to get a feel for the social climate and the who's who. Of course at this hour there weren't many people, still he makes certain to keep his back to a windowless wall. More than one ranger had gotten taken out from behind for not being careful. And even if it made it obvious he was the suspicious sort he'd rather keep his head than risk getting shot in the back.

Takumi: {sits on a bench}

man: so you finnaly decided to show up

Takumi: .............

MAn: not very talkative huh? ohhh well what are you gonna do contractors are just like that

Takumi: do you have a job for me or what

Man: relax here look under your bench

Takumi: { he takes a tape recorder from under the bench and he plugs his headphones in it and listens to the message its all scrambly and hard to make out but 2 words are easily definable BK-201 and Fragment once the tape ends he just sticks it into his pocket}

Takumi: { he walks away and towards bar but he keeps his hood up to keep his identity concealed for the moment and he walks inside and sits down at a table}

[Helbaworshipper]

A woman with purplish black hair sat down next to Cale. A man chuckled, handing her a beer without asking for the money. She turned to look at Cale, a neutral look on her face. "Hanazono. Yukimura asked me to come to work today." She seemed to be waiting for some sort of sign.

[GamerKale]

"Did he? Well I suppose you ought to have something for your troubles, here let me buy you a drink. I'm Cale." He extended his hand to both shake hers and palm her a 20.

[Helbaworshipper]

"So you are Cale Williams." She smiled, placing the twenty on the counter. The man understood, placing what seemed to be a disk down and taking the twenty for himself. "All the information you could want on Shwartz, since you did kill him." She seemed relaxed, unlike Katsu.

"What else would you like to know?"

[kai the pkk]

Takumi: { he takes out a cell phone and starts playing with it but he's actually reading a txt} ................... thats interesting { he orders milk but the bartender just looks at him and then gives it too him}

bartender: * what a weirdo who comes to a bar and orders milk jeez and he hasent even taken that hood off what a weirdo*

Takumi: { he takes the milk and then he sits back down and he finishes reading the txt as he then chukes the milk and wipes his mouth} ahhhh.................. { he then just sits there looking around the bar picking up mentally anything that can lead him in the right direction} * that man was here last so he had to of left something behind*

[GamerKale]

Cale sat unperturbed by the woman's show of knowledge, about himself it wasn't his first rodeo and he wasn't supposed to be some special super sleuth contrary to what the name of his organization might lead you to think. He drank some sake and pushed the bottle towards her. Much as he appreciated the offer of beer he wasn't going to have something he didn't pay for. Not while he could be himself at least, like this series of events was starting to seem he could. "Like I told Katsu, I'm looking for Hei and Yin. But as he seems determined to have me look into this business for him, so what can you give me on this whole strange string of murders?"

[Helbaworshipper]

"Katsu's the best source you can have on BK201 connection wise. It might surprise you, but the group still meets at the this bar. Tonight's going to be a big meeting, anyone who is currently in the area will come." She smiled with a twinkle in her eyes. "Shwartz wasn't the only big member of the group. If you stay until 11, and act like a drunk sleeping off his alcohol...you'll get more information than you'll ever have asked me for. Keep the beer." She stood up, exiting without another word.

[GamerKale]

What is it with all the intelligence types and leaving without saying good bye? "Bartender, strongest thing you have, and a few more bottles of sake please." Oh well, might as well get some work done, I've got time. He withdrew what looked to be a screen with a cd drive on it and slid the disc in. He clipped on an earpiece as he began accessing the files. He tapped a button on the side of the small device and Dr. Shroedinger's voice piped in through the earpiece. "Yes?" "I'm sending you some data, make a backup for me." "Alright, anything else?" "No, that's it for now." The line cut out and he removed the earpiece. He downed the beer quickly, not his preferred brand, but it would do and the sake didn't taste too bad. He just might come to like Tokyo.

[kai the pkk]

Takumi: { he gets up with his hands in his pocket and leaves money for the drink and he walks out and he walks aimlessly through the rowd and he sees a man who seems really freaked out sort of as he then runs and corners him in a alley way} allright I need to talk with you haruo yoshina

haruo: look I'm srry i'm srry i'm srry you with the syndicate right Illl give you all the information I have hey wait you just a kid

Takumi; { he touches the gutter in the area as it reshapes into a sharp gutter and its aimed for his chest} talk

haruo: I DONT KNOW MUCH I SWEAR!!!! ALL I KNOW IS THAT theres going to be soe meeting tonight at 11 at this bar here this is all I have { he hands him a paper with a name on it and a disc} dont kill me

Takumi: { he rerembers someone stating to kill al witnesses to the plans of the syndicate but he then just takes the paper and disc as he walks away playing his psp}

Day 2: Evening

Like clockwork the staff began to clean one of the tables without fail around 10:50 that evening. The first to arrive sat down and ordered an expensive sake. She had purple hair and wore a uniform for a local store.



"Such a filthy world, isn't it? Another of those puppets of yours has died." She chuckled, seeming relaxed despite the atmosphere. The younger woman who entered, didn't even look old enough to even be able to purchase pornography. She held a contractor's eyes as well as the purple haired woman.



"I've no idea of what you're talking about." She sat down with a glare on her face. "Besides, you've lost more than I have."

"If we're going to argue about how many we've lost, we'll have quite a contest." A man chuckled, looking as if he were doing a historical art piece.

"Stop agreeing to such pointless things." The younger spoke.



After what seemed like an involved argument, Emi Wakahisa entered and sat down without a word.

"Looks like everyone we can expect is here." The purple haired woman spoke. "Anahita is usually the last to arrive. It looks like we're quite busy."

"Agreeably, this word is indeed too filthy." Emi's voice spoke with a strength behind it.
