Re: What has Screech got goin' on?
Winter takes off her helmet and nods in greeting. "The way I see it, we have three options."
"First, we look for a place in Loveland. Least likely to have a building fall down on us, but it does mean dealing with Mafia or, less likely to work, Yakuza. If our... employer is looking for privacy for whatever he has planned, I am not sure this would be acceptable."
"Second, we look for a place down in Carbanado. Problem here is we would have to make a deal with the orcs, and it would likely be expensive. And somehow I am getting a distinct impression Screech doesn't actually have the money for that, at least not yet."
"And finally, there's Hell's Kitchen. We should be able to find someplace there that is at the very least still standing, and for free or at least very cheap. It's also most likely to have a building fall on us, and we would probably have to deal with the local squatters."
She shrugs her shoulders. "As for what I would recommend, well, none of the these choices are particularly great. But from what I can gather for Screech's screeching, I think Hell's Kitchen may be the closest to what he is looking for. Because if he wanted to and had the money for it, I believe he would have just rented a place elsewhere himself."
"That's the way I see it, anyway. Not sure how I feel about kicking out some poor bastards to the curb for that sleazebag's scheme though. Especially since I am not convinced he has or will ever have the money to pay us for it."
