Train Exchange

“Don’t you worry about that? How much is it worth to you.”


The hooded figure closes the bag and pushes toward you.


“It’s not worth being tortured by Hela’s guardians again, that’s for sure. If I were you, I’d dump it as soon as you get off this train. This is trouble you nor I need right now.”


You push the bag back toward the hooded figure. “Since when have you ever backed away from trouble. We...

Joker

The gem of azaroth was rumored to be worth over ten billion yen; Molded by the Great Stanisky the gem granted its wielder the powers of the sun. And somehow I stumbled upon it on the east side train this morning. Shinning valiantly underneath the bench the gem waited for me. I saved it from the earth and immediately called you here. I need you my friend. This is more important than anything we’ve ...

The Dagger From Somewhere

The dusty leather bag slides carelessly across the oak table. Halting before him.


“Where the hell did you find this?!” His voice is ragged, damaged and scarred from life’s endeavors.


“Somewhere,” I fight back a smirk. “Somehow.”


“If you want your money, you will tell me the source,” he urges an answer out of me, yet no truth comes. “Or else the deal is off. All I wanted was you to bring me a ...

Otherworldly

“I know a guy who knows a guy.” I responded sheepishly. They looked up from the bag and I could just barely make out a frown from the face hidden in the shadow of the hood. “Okay, in all seriousness, it was difficult as all hell to get my hands on that.” I spoke softly in a serious tone.


“Is this the real thing? I didn’t think it was possible…” The hooded figure remarked. I could tell they...

Dawn of a New Age

"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission." I say vaguely with a shrug of my shoulders, a playful smile tugs on my lips as I slip off my own hood. I pull the satchel back to myself. My hands quickly and carefully take the item out of the satchel and place it on the table in front of us.


There on the table, next to the empty satchel, rests a pearlescent dragon egg.


His gaze meets m...

“You’re Not Doing This Alone”

I eyed the figure, my gaze intensely sharp. “Under your bed.” I spoke, And immediately once those words left my lips he froze.

“Under my bed” he echoes the words with a whisper. He stayed silent for a moment till his eyes darted up to mine. “I didn’t put it there” he said softly.

“Really? So you expect me to believe it just magically appeared there. I hate to break it to you Alex but we’re...

The Exchange

You lean back in your chair, eyes flat.
“Didn’t find it. Took it.”

The hooded figure stiffens, gloved hand tightening on the bag’s edge.
“From who?”

You glance at the broken clock on the wall.
“Bald man. Gray coat. Funny limp.”

The figure’s jaw tightens.
“That’s impossible. He’s dead.”

You slide your revolver onto the table, the metal scraping softly against the wood.
“Yeah… he was.”

The figure’s ...

The Generator’s Core

You slide the bag across the table, the hooded figure opposite you peers inside. “Where the hell did you find this?!” I nervously respond“It was in the factory… sir” “This can destroy a whole continent, what were you thinking!” He said. I find it easy to mess up on missions like this, they always send me the wrong locations. “Well this orange sphere needs to be kept safe, and it’s coming out of yo...

Oh, Y’know

You chuckle, trying not to reveal too much about yourself. “Well,” you say, adjusting your posture towards the figure, “I know a guy who knows a guy who has some inside eyes.”

The figure looks up at you, one eyebrow raised.

“Inside eyes, huh”? The man leans on the table, “and what exactly do those ‘inside eyes’ see”.

“Oh y’know, this and that. Good things, bad things… great things”. You lean ba...

To Cool Her Down

“ I didn’t find it, it was given to me-“ “ Lies ! By whom?!” I ask abruptly as my echo coats the rest of the building. So large with a plethora of furniture except the emptiness would never fill the temple. “One of your people, you must’ve tripped, neither I could know what you were thinking. It appears they’d sold their soul to her, the queen of the new world.” “ How dare you use that tone-?!” “ ...
