>>6004564You order some Mochi Donuts to share. Jorn likes the taste but can't seem to handle the texture, so Richter eats hers. Highball partakes too once she finishes her sandwich.
You bring her up to speed with everything you've been up to and what Karl told you. There are a few particular talking points.
Highball sips on a Weissbier
<span class="mu-g">" Did Stukka really say you two were cool? Cause that chick was giving me the button eye last time, and I'm one of the guys who SAVED her."</span>
Jorn nods
<span class="mu-g">"How much you give her anyways?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"10'000. Give or take."</span>
Highball almost chokes on her drink.
<span class="mu-g">"You have that kind of paper just lying around?"</span>
Jorn studies the menu
<span class="mu-b">"Not anymore. But I'm glad she's forgiven me. That's a big one."</span>
The discussion of Den Ouzo and Den Tanqueray and their very different business models seems to make Highball think. She leans back in her chair.
<span class="mu-g">"Hmmmm..I guess when you grow up in one den, dust out and just hang out with other dust outs, you kinda assume all dens are the same. There's not just differences in size and quality but in business acumen. Maybe even scruples."</span>
Richter has a thought
<span class="mu-r">"Is there any den that's completely trustworthy? Devoid of moral ambiguity?"</span>
Highball stretches, closes her eyes and smirks.
<span class="mu-g"> "Is there any big business?"</span>
Richter nods.
>"Apparently they might be researching new ammo. Stukka, the ammo dealer, talked with one of their higher ups about it, but didn't catch a name."Highball opens one of her eyes and smiles at you.
<span class="mu-g">"They're not gonna have this many goblins in town without at least a capo to watch over them. Whoever Stukka spoke to is probably still here. I'd wager it's either the gambler with the big wambos or the non-biney in the fancy hat. Either is likely. That said, unless I miss my count, there's still 3 sex workers it could be. Assuming any of them are goblins, of course."</span>
Highball sits back up straight.
<span class="mu-g"> "Probably doesn't matter for now, right?"</span>
