Setting: The Bar {closed}

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Being the very next friday sider had been walking around in nuetral california happening once again upon the bar that he had met koshiro at.

It was old, dusty, and isolated, the best part. The barkeep was in his normal spot behind the counter washing away at the surface of it, for he had taken pride on how shiny he got it to be.

Sider walked in noticing that the table in the corner had been cleared, just for sider and koshiro.

what are we doing here? This isn't the crows, nor the gods, or....were you even listening to what i said?! we have to kill the dragons!!! For now we will do no such thing, we will wait until i have a clearer picture. i need a memorandum, something to spark my earlier memories of what my mother said about the dragons, so until then stay silent. My cousin could have information for me, and i'll have some for him.Fine, you have bought my silence for now....i will listen

Sider walked over to the corner table removing his Keen Top Hat and placing it upon the table. He motioned for the barkeep to come over so that he could order what he wanted.

"Tall glass of scotch please" Sider spoke in a calm and collected tone. "Coming right up bub." The barkeep responded.

Sider had made a habit out of coming to the bar frequently and therefor got most of his drinks for free in return for keeping the barkeep company.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro walked into the bar. Looking around he saw Sider already over in the corner. Koshiro talked to the barkeep as he pass.
"Can I get a Scotch please?"
The barkeep nodded and walked on.
Koshiro took a seat next to Sider.

"Hey cousin. Been a while. How are you? How was Dragon territory? You find what you were looking for?"

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"Yes and no, my purpose of going into Dragon territory was to become one of them, but my training has been postponed, i am unsure of where to go from here."

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Oh. Well anything new? Other than training being postponed?"

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai was sitting at an opposite end of the bar but he had made it so that his blood was covering him with what would appear to be a fancy black cloak with a hood that obscured his face. He had sitting in here trying to see if he could catch Yachiru in one of her random 'make friendly with the peoples' routine when he was surprised to find Sider and then later Koshiro walk into the bar. He wasn't sure what was going on but he would let the two have their peace it had been some time since the family had seen each other from his understanding of the situation. But not having seen Sider since Zax's and Yachiru's initiation he was curious as to what was on the mans mind and would do his best to hear what was going on in the conversation. While looking as inconspicuous as possible of course.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"not really just gonna go with my gut from here on out"

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Well I met Marcus. He seems nice."

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"Marcus is new to me, define him."

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Fasinating. He plays off as a sarcastic comic, he really seems to be much deeper. "

Koshiro looked around the bar and saw the hooded man, but thought nothing of if. Looked back at Sider, and sipped his scotch.

"Something is different. I wonder if he will tell me or not..."

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

We could join the crows sider, we could join them. they can give us the power we seek, won't they? you don't know anything, just shut up, i have no idea what i'm doing right now, i don't NEED a faction, and i don't need you! of course you need me, where would you be without me? you have no idea the pain i can put you though...

Sider flinched, there was an obvious pain in the right side of his head, trying to shake it off, but failing miserably. Stop it! you don't think i can't still kill us both? i will! i swear! Do it! ask for his help with joining the crows. we can learn from them, and seek our vengence against the dragons. What would the point of that be? Look you fucking idiot The voice hissed. What's the worst that could happen? We get Stronger. Do it. I can ask, but that's all i will do.

"Koshiro, How hard is it to join the crows?" Sider asked.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

Koshiro saw the pain on Sider's face. Continuing to wonder what was wrong he answered

"Very difficult. They are very loyal, It takes some doing just to talk to them.
I did manage to get in by the way."

"Rose went back to dragon territory right after, I came here to talk to you before I begin training. I can't stay too long."

He looked deep into sider's eyes before responding.

"Sider, they know about you and Barker, They don't trust you. It was difficult for me. Cousin, I don't think that the crows will accept you."

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

I told you, you fool.we can still join them, they would accept us Marucs would kill me, and what would delilah think? Delilah saw you saving asiv, she will trust you. Bullshit! ...just shut up let's see where this goes.

"How did you get in?" Sider asked.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"I was honest. I told them the true reason I wanted to join. They told me it wasn't good enough, so I told them who I was and why I wanted to help them. They accepted me."

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"Interesting" Sider replied.

So what's your plan now big man? joining the crows are we? or do you think there is another option? I don't know right now, I need to gather more information before i make a move. What is there for us to gather? We have the information we need. join the crows, it's that simple. Koshiro can feed us more info if we sit here or we can go over to crow territory and one of them will find us. Would you shut up? i'm trying to think...Time's up Sider, what's it gonna be?

"Cousin I must leave, we will see each other again soon. Good luck with your basic training." And with that Sider would stand up, take one last drink and head for the door.

[Koshiro WarHazzard]

"Oh cousin!" Koshiro hollered what do you know about the Deyorc's?
All movement in the bar stopped all the people looked at Koshiro.
"....what? I over heard that in training."
He stopped.
Since I have everyone's attention

"Hey does this bar offer pizza? Hey barkeep, do you have stuff to make pizza? I really could go for some."
