Re: Act 1: Cyril's Team
Cyril supresses a smile, then recalls all the times he'd been dropped into a strange place, with nothing but the equipment he brought and an objective to complete by any means. Often, he wasn't even given a clear exit plan.
He looks around, searching for people whom he thinks would be knowledgeable about the goings-on in the underworld, then locks his eyes of the most likely target. He starts to walk towards one of the many dubious characters lining the streets, and replies to Exilim by saying, "I want all of you to watch, listen, and learn. The first lesson I am about to teach you, is about asking the right people the right questions in the right manner.
"Koruusk, you stay beside me. Exilim, Ashlyn and Allen, you three walk behind us. Try to memorize the layout of the place while looking over our shoulders, in case we ever find ourselves in need of a quick exit."
With the formation complete, Cyril approaches one of the hawkers, one of those selling 'companionship', and stares them down. "We just landed here. Know where we could find some work?"
