[eagandigh]

The Harlequin, Maurice
Ravnos , slightly irate Serpent
Club Harlequin
 
"Really?" the Harlequin asked with amusement. "There has to be a better
way to get oneself dead surely! On the other hand ... I hear you guys in
Downtown have really been shaking things up recently? Gang wars, new
Khan in the Joss houses and a rare old time in the old town by all
accounts? I miss all the fun it seems!"
 
Maurice was about to reply, when he noticed a girl entering the Club.
She was looking at them, but then turned and took a seat at the bar. She
had the looks of a punk. And I thought, punk's dead, Maurice thought. He
dismissed her out of hand and turned his attention back to Harle.
 
"Yess, it 'ass been quite an eventful week, 'assn't it? Alssough, I
misssed mosst of sse fun, too. I only 'eard today of Tituss new title."
He grinned, a sparkle in his eye. "Can you believe ssiss? Tituss, khan
of chinatown? I wonder if 'e iss able to 'andle ssat tassk, worssy of an
'erculess? 'ow long will sse chinkss tolerate a foreigner ruling
sseirss? I ssink we boss now besst what problemss 'e will get into."
 
He took a puff from his cigar and leaned back. He saw the girl had
ordered a drink, but had not yet seen her sipping. Then the three
ladies, who had flocked around the Harlequin, descended upon her.  The
Harlequin's new flame seemed quite familiar with her. Interesting. He
wondered who the girl was. The fourth musketeer?
 
"I wass kind of bussy during sse week and sso sse reasson for my coming
tonight iss, ssat I need information on what 'ass occured besside sse
obviouss, while I wass away. I already talked to sse boy Panic, but 'e
wass only willing to tell me sso far. I am esspessially interessted in
what 'ass 'appened to sse Ssnake Bitchess, or Isscoatl, ass Panic called
ssem." He paused, then added. "And sseir little demon trinket, ssey
craved, but apparently wissout ssuccesss."
