OOC: Let's roll for Initiative, except for Angok and Luminary at this point.
Outside, Ace sees a pack of stray dogs moving up the road at a high gallop, towards him or past him he hoped. Though he was certain their barking would attract unwanted attention if they didn't give it up soon...
If the Asar and James pause long enough to allow Nathaniel to do his thing, they would see his eyes begin to glow with a black flame coronating a purple shine dazzling in his irises like amethysts. Suddenly he encompasses the warehouse, knows everything in it. His conscious mind has to sift through the noise, navigate the meaningless details, finally he has to intend a target of some type. This appeared easy on the outset, as he sought to trace the sound and makes sense of what his awareness encompassed, however as he sought it difficulty began to mount as the crack of the whip was becoming indistinguishable to other noises reverberating though his unnatural omnipresent vantage point. However it was just when he thought he'd lose that sound that he homed in on another related sound vibration, a whisper with a thick Eastern European accent,
"you failed and allowed da cargo to be seized?"
Using this as an anchor, Nathaniel pulls back a bit to take in the full vista of the scene he'd localized in it's entirety. It's the warehouse main floor. A single candle lights the area, but Nathaniel can see it all. Cargo boxes filled the large building and this nook was a perfect place to sit in waiting without being seen from the outside and away from any windows. No light escaped the area and the two men at odds in it's center. The one kneeling looks no better than Nathaniel himself and perhaps even a bit worse, all skin and bones. It is the mercenary sent with the statue. He'd survived the Neustria curse too!
The man standing over him was a large and imposing man, a mane of black hair covered both his head, mustache and beard down to his clavicle. He looked and seemed, cruel and mean, yet somehow well pressed and regal. Indeed the insignia inside his long coat read Latverian Guard. His voice rumbled out quietly,
"The King will be very displeased, yet, perhaps your endurance has given you a new opportunity to redeem yourself. I sense we are soon discovered..."
OOC: I'm assuming Nathan is relaying this to the others in the office for the sake of brevity once again.

Angok walked through the busy train depot for half an hour, sampling a bit of this and that, mostly delicious scents and aromas from the cafe's but also from the bakery and pastry shoppes as they began to wake up, but occasionally someone left something sugary as they made their way through the station too. On some levels it was also very chaotic in a way that the Hollow man had rarely witnessed with the teeming masses of human bodies that had begun to fill the station before long.
Just as he had begun to think about finding his clothes and dragging them back to the train, Angok found a young man hobbling along on an amputated foot. He was loosely following a group of young street kids who had careened ahead of him. They surrounded a businessman headed for a train concourse and began to rifled through his pockets as they ran by, the man obviously felt harassed and began to get salty, swatting at them. The young boy drew a knife from his crutch and actually hissed under his breathe at the grownup he was heading towards.
