A Little Treat

[Mr. Kaar]

So the sleeping Dragon was going to make an apearance today to this little event. His blonde hair spiked as always, he was just interested seeing how the first few types had worked. and he wanted to see the other things. But maybe later, he wasn;t one to depend on drugs, but this was getting too interesting, even for him to just pass up.

so sitting under a light post that was previousely off he watched. The light flickering on and off just from his presence. He was wanting to buy some, lord knew he had the cash from previousely owning the Peace Cafe.

[Sean Barker]

"I understand"

Sean would smile at Winters and he would pull out the white canister. But his eyes where deflected for a moment to the blonde haired kids flickering light. He was one of the ones he was told about, to sell a certain type of drug to. Also come to think of it, he was also told to sell Winters a certain type of drug.

"After this injection I have something special for you, since more than three of these will cause you to Over Dose and require immediate medical care."

But he was told to punch Winters, and hard? Well he doubted it was just because he felt emo, and he wanted to see what he could do with the Green drug. So he would comply and throw a left straight jab into his chest. After that he would inject the White one into his neck, most likely he would be able to keep up with his hand and speed now.

[Winters]

Inside The Rabbit Hole...

"Before we start negotations, I'd like to know what the final two colored drugs do. I just don't want to get gipped upon negotiations."

Head was beginning to buzz. But he felt comfortable. There was no 'endorphine' effect so much as he could tell, but it was more rather that.. he felt strong. And that in itself was pleasing. But no smile would crack on his statuesque face.

"You understand, right?"

Jonathan's eyes were the only things showing something weird. He felt.. fine. There was no physical craving. Just a mental one. Eyes were looking around. Plenty of people around, seeing the S.H.C.P. possibly abusing his power. Meh. It was good for the dealer's buisness, and gave Jonathan an experiance. He was carefully labeling these things in his mind. Looking over to Keith, who was conferring with the dealer, he raised an eyebrow. "..E-Eh.. Keith... y-you.. t-taking d-down th-those n-notes o-on th-the p-pad I-I g-gave y-ya?..."

Flexed his arm up, holding up his fist to himself. Mm. Saying this was an interesting turn of events, was an understatement.

"I understand"

Eyes glazed over to the dealer. Looked like he was enjoying this a lot more then Jonathan. The smile and the strange look in the dealers eye gave Jonathan a weird feeling. But, either for courage or stupidity, he'd made a commitment. And integrity would not allow him to back down. The white canister. What would this do? ..Hesitance.

Eh? What's going on?

"After this injection I have something special for you, since more than three of these will cause you to Over Dose and require immediate medical care."

"..A-Alright..." Jonathan's raised an eyebrow slightly. Somehow, it wasn't that little statement that he would guess would make the dealer pause for a moment. Was someone 'important'? Well, was of no business of Jonathan's. ..So, was the guy gonna punch him or no---

"OOF... mm.. eh. N-Not b-bad..."

Picking himself up from the indention in the wall, he walked over to Sean. Well.. he was surprised at the force of the hit. But more surprised that, despite a sharp intake of breath, and a little bit of blood running from his lips, from biting down too hard at the sudden shock.. he could still stand. 'Heh... Thrush's usefulness is in the balance again, it seems..'

This time, neck propped to the same side again as the third canister was rammed into his neck, Jonathan didn't make a sound. Mm. Maybe it was the green working. Or maybe he was already getting used to these injections. He stood still for a moment, as the needle was taken out, and looked around. Weird.

..Then it hit him.

Raised up his hand to his face. No longer a blur.

"..Keith.. w-white c-canister i-improves r-reaction t-time. B-Best when c-combined w-with th-the b-blue c-canister." ..He pumped down to his knees, and then stood back up again, quickly. Eyes widened slightly. Did it ten more times. Didn't feel anything, no change. Impressive. Did not feel dizzy. Did not feel out of it. Mind was.. SHARP.. the drug had this time directly effected his mind and his eyes, it seemed. No. There was a difference.

..Everything seemed to be moving at normal speed. No. Slower. Even himself, but it felt like he was moving normally.. Heh. Bullet time? "..A-Alright.. s-so, w-what's th-this 's-something s-special' y-your t-talking a-about th-then?" Looking at the Dealer.

More then three equates to an overdose? Mm. More important information. Only seemed to occur to him now what everyone was saying. Strange. Really strange.

..

'Something Special'..

[Keith]

The White drug improved reaction time. Now only thing that was left was for the last colored drug. Winters said that it's best when the White Drug is combined with Blue. He had a point, increase your speed and your reaction time which is extremely important.

Yes, Keith was interested about that special thing too. But first thing's first, he wanted to know the effects of that last drug. And Keith was going to find that out. He was no stranger to drugs that enhanced your strength and speed.

Keith remembered the Reaper Pills that Saito has. He also remembered the effects of the Reaper Pills from his contacts in the Collosai and Nocturne.

With these drugs, the dealer explained that if you take more than three at a time, you're going to need to seek medical help. And Winters had already taken Blue, Green, and White. And now there would be something special next. This piqued Keith's curiosity even more.

I find these pills to be rather intriguing...

But first thing's first, Keith wanted to know the effects of that final drug. And Keith went ahead and asked.

"Before we proceed, what does the last one do?"

[Sean Barker]

Sean pulled out two canisters, one with Yellow in it, the other had a Dark Purple like liquid. Since Kieth had asked for the Yellow to be demonstrated first, or at least know what it does, Sean raised it up to his own neck and pressed the button, his head jerked a moment from the initial injection and everything went off the wall, his muscles tensed, and his eyes slightly dialated.

"Yellow inhances everything, you become smarter, you react quicker, you become stronger, faster, more durrable. Everything."

It was probably obviouse that Sean really liked Yellow. then he went over to Winters and just handed the Dark Purple liquid filled canister to him. And spoke.

"This is the only one of that type in my posetion. Dont use it right now, save it for an important time. It nulls an OD, and allows you to use more than three drugs at one time."

[Winters]

The Purple And The Yellow

"Before we proceed, what does the last one do?"

Jonathan was looking at his hand, fiddling with it. Moving it up, down, pushing the fingers rather fast, as if to tap onto a desk with fingers going down after one another in a consecutive manner. Thing.. he knew it was fast. He just couldn't tell HOW fast. Eyes watching over it.. yet keeping his ears open to Keith's comment. His face retained it's solid look to it, expressionless, save the eyes. It was the eyes that flicked towards Keith for a slight moment, and then to the dealer that could only be signified as the only sign that he was paying attention. That and.. his hand gripped into a fist. Relaxed. And touched the left side of his neck.. wiping off some blood, and looking at it. Not too much to be seen on his hands as he looked at it. Was very clean; The shots very professionally done.

Head raised up, as two more canisters whirled out. Jonathan tipped his head to the side, expectingly... but.. instead, the dealer jammed one of the canisters in his neck. Instant delight whipping in the dealer's eyes, from his body language.. Did that feel good, or something? "Yellow inhances everything, you become smarter, you react quicker, you become stronger, faster, more durrable. Everything."

An all-around enhancer, eh?..---- Jonathan's mouth slightly opened, eyes widened. Did you mean to say that they were actually going to sell... THAT? But he flinched slightly, as the dealer now took to him. "This is the only one of that type in my posetion. Dont use it right now, save it for an important time. It nulls an OD, and allows you to use more than three drugs at one time."

..Something was happening here, that he wasn't aware of. Why was the dealer giving him this?.. Holding it up to his eyes, he looked at it, closely, the white drug in particular, working.. such a dark purple liquid. Looking up at the dealer, with a look in his eyes, as if, 'why me'? ..But more importantly..

"...T-Thank y-you.. b-but.." Slowly, he moved in, beckoning the dealer to step towards his mouth, so he could whisper in the ear. "..I-Is y-yellow a-at a-all r-related t-to.. 'B-Brimstone D-Delta'..? A-And i-is i-it j-just a-as a-addictive?.." Then, backing up, "..And why are you giving me this.. thing?" he said, holding up the purple canister. A slight smile growing on his face, however.. he pocketed it, after holding it out, hoping an explanation would come soon.

Good thing he'd decided to volunteer, apparently.. or maybe bad. At this point, not enough data, to draw a conclusive understanding on the dealer himself.. Though I may not understand everything, after all, I should at least get a bearing as to what you may have just done, as to why I may need this...

[Keith]

"Yellow inhances everything, you become smarter, you react quicker, you become stronger, faster, more durrable. Everything."

So far, Red was strength. Blue was speed. Green was endurance and fortitude. White was reaction time. And Yellow was all around. So, you can't take more than three at a time. Then Keith saw the purple one where it cancels out the OD.

Meaning, take three and take the purple. This piqued Keith's curiosity greatly.

"..I-Is y-yellow a-at a-all r-related t-to.. 'B-Brimstone D-Delta'..? A-And i-is i-it j-just a-as a-addictive?.."

Brimstone Delta? What's that?

That was the first time he's heard of this Brimstone Delta. He would know have to ask winter what was this so-called Brimstone Delta. But it wasn't the time nor the place to inquire on that stuff.

Calmly, Keith turned to face the dealer. He was greatly impressed, but not that impressed enough to fork over one to two hundred dollars a pop.

"I am pretty impressed," Keith calmly said with a serious on of voice. He added, "but not impressed enough to pay one to two hundred a pop, though."

But it didn't mean Keith wasn't going to buy anything from this dealer.

"However, if you can slash the price for me and Winters here, I can give you something far greater," Keith finished.

[Sean Barker]

When Sean bent closer to Winters he hard two very complicated, yet simple answers. But in his head the first two where translated as yes or no questions, yet the third one would be alittle cryptic to answer. So he woudl begin with the first two question.

"Yes to your first question, and no to your second."

And now to move on to the very, very difficult to answer question, but he could give him a slight cryptic answer, that would be easy to. . . Uncode? Yeah thats the word.

"I think you know exactly why I'm giving it to you. Mr. S.H.C.P."

But what he heard next fromt he original boy from earlier peeked a bit of interest. So he thought for a few moments letting himself think harder.

"I'll cut it 75% to 25-50 dollars a pop. Whats yer offer?"

[Keith]

"I'll cut it 75% to 25-50 dollars a pop. Whats yer offer?"

$25-50 a pop, not a bad price at all. Keith gave a calm and collected nod to the dealer. Not a bad discount for he and Winters. Winters was going to have to owe him for this because the discount is supposed to apply to both of them.

However, Keith had something very valuable to offer to the dealer. Good thing that Keith has eidetic memory meaning he can remember what he sees. He had something of great value. But it wasn't as great unless it was used as a bargaining item for situations such as this.

But he didn't want Winters to know what he had. Still, Winters should be thankful that Keith managed to get a discount for the both of them.

Casually, he walked up to the dealer and would whisper something into his ear. It would be at a low pitch that Winters nor anybody else could hear it. This was pretty secret information that Keith wouldn't normally give out.

"Have you ever heard of a drug called Reaper?" Keith would quietly whisper into the man's ear.

[Winters]

'..Hints... Of...?'

"Yes to your first question, and no to your second."

The smile grew.

Oh. Really?

REALLY!?

Wonderful... that was truly wonderful... The grin broadened into a large smile.

But.. still... the third question..---

"I think you know exactly why I'm giving it to you. Mr. S.H.C.P."

Slowly, he closed his eyes, and nodded, which.. turned into a short bow. This man knew what he was. There was no more need to have his guard up, or at least as tightly. As he slowly raised up his head, he nodded. "..V-Vell z-zen.. i-inform 'h-him'... th-that I-I s-shall d-deal w-with 'TH-THEM'... a-as s-soon a-as I-I a-am a-able."

..A slight glance was subtely shot towards Keith, the smile almost growing deviously, before he looked back at the dealer.

"..V-Vith.. e-exceptions, o-of c-course."

"I am pretty impressed." Interrupted train of thought by Keith. But then, he expressed out his feelings verbally in a voice of clarity, which Jonathan could not. "But not impressed enough to pay one to two hundred a pop, though."

"I'll cut it 75% to 25-50 dollars a pop. Whats yer offer?"

..And with that.. Keith moved in forward. Yes. Definite reasons why he didn't want to touch this man. A valuable entrepeteneur. And besides, wasn't 'Keith' older then someone who would take high school? For whatever they were talking about was of no concern to Jonathan. He had his own secrets he liked to keep on the down low.

Brimstone Delta?..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Truly, Mr. Asiv, truly you are a man of---

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"..."

"..I-I c-can f-feel y-you th-there. W-What i-is i-it? W-Where h-have y-you b-been?"

"Just.. uh.. trying to feel ze effects zat ze drugs are having on our body..."

"..M-Mm.. w-well th-then. I-I s-suppose I-I sh-shouldn't b-be th-the o-only o-one en-enjoying th-this..---"

"---You sound like me now."

"....Y-You s-sound d-different y-yourself."

"..---HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. not zat it vill interfere, master. Not zat it will INTERFERE.."

"G-Good. G-Glad t-to h-hear i-it."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

It would not occur to him that Keith may possibly had listened in on him, had a sharp ear. But, it wouldn't matter to him too much, even if he did. His addiction? His desires? Well.. that was a small price to pay, for the end. Always would Machiavelli's one truth justify the means.

Always.

Slowly, his hand crept onto his chin. What to buy then? What to buy? With Keith's discounts.. and a promise from Jonathan, best if he upheld, ja?

Screw window-shopping. Time for initiative, for once.

[Sean Barker]

Sean returned with a nod to winters small bow. Then listened to Kieths offer. He had heard of Reaper, what kidn of dealer would he be if he hadn't heard of one of the strongest drugs on the East Coast? But Sean nodded his answer. He heard of their extreme effects. Wouldn't mind splicing up that kinda formula into the code name "Brimstone Seriese".

It would be a wait and see game for whatever Kieth had in mind for these "Reaper" drugs. Was he going to offer them, ro soemthign else?

[Keith]

The dealer gave a nod. Seemed that he did in fact know about Reaper. That was a good start. Keith didn't have the pills on him. But, Keith had something far better to give him. It was way better...

"Good, you know about it then," Keith whispered. But Keith had plenty of valuable information regarding the Reaper pills from Saito, a Nocturne member and the former leader of the defunct Collosai known as Linda Osako.

"There are two strains of Reaper... The fake form and the real form... I don't have any of the real deals... But I managed to snag a bag of the fakes before leaving 552. Courtesy of some connections of Collosai and Nocturne," Keith explained still whispering.

"However, I managed to reverse engineer an actual Reaper pill using the science labs of 259 and voila, I have the formula."

This was indeed very juicy information Keith was giving out.

"I have the formula for both the fake and the real deal," Keith explained making sure that Winters didn't hear a single word of this.

[Sean Barker]

"Heh, nice offer. . .I could go for those formulas you speak of."

Sean had answered in a whisper since it seemed to be something worth keeping secret. Esspecially if this got into his own providers hands. Sean was just the dealer, so that meant he got his drugs from some unknown source.

"So 25 to 75 per drug, buy at your own descretion."

With that he would take their money and give them their drugs as they said what they wanted after words he would head over to the blonde kid and give him a free cannister. A black one, he moved his lips ever so slightly flicked his tongue a few times to mask any lip readers. He was good at what he did. Then he would roam around trying to sell more drugs.

[Keith]

"Heh, nice offer. . .I could go for those formulas you speak of."

Keith gave a casual nod to the dealer's whispered answer. It was something indeed that needed to be kept secret. Damn good thing that Keith managed to take valuable information with him upon leaving 552 and heading towards 259.

"So 25 to 75 per drug, buy at your own descretion."

He then turned to see the dealer walked to the blonde haired boy.(Assuming it's Leon, right?) Keith adjusted his shades a bit as the blonde person looked familiar. But Keith wasn't going to delve in this for a moment. Pulling a pen and a folded piece of paper out, Keith would write something.

After writing on the paper, Keith would fold it up again.

He would walk over to the dealer as he was talking to the blond kid and hand him the note. The contents of the note were:

I'll buy-

6 Fiery Reds for $25 a piece

6 Baby Blues for $25 a piece

6 Envious Greens for $25 a piece

6 Glowing Whites for $25 a piece

6 Golden Yellows for $40 a piece...

P.S... Don't throw the note away... Look in the BACK!

Yes, Keith had something written on the back. There was a lot of writing in the back of the paper. The dealer should very well know what's in the back.

[Sean Barker]

Sean gave Keith his drugs and took the money he offered for the drugs, pretty fare pay if you ask him. He then shoved the paper into his pocket lost for the time being. Not even going to give it a first look over, not vry business like but Sean and Leon where sharing looks. Leon put the drug in his pocket for a later date and left, the light he was under turning off. That boy never seemed too happy.

Then he would turn to Keith.

"I trust your appetites are settled, dont forget to tell others."

His smile would seem oddly friendly after saying that and he would approach winters. That same smile on his face, he hadn;t forgotten about the boy, not one bit.

"Are your appetites settled?"
