[would you really be surprised in this TOWN OF LAWLESSNESS.
Anyway, despite Wen Ning being the most proficient, Wei Wuxian is actually a sniper himself so he's familiar with the maintenance of guns. THIS IS VERY FAST... But he just attributes that to all of the rumors he's heard about the work Nines has done. Maybe he's just really that good?? Yeah... yeah.]
Mm. Just long enough to work one time - that should be fine.
[if he even has to use it once let alone two to three times i will personally kill anna]
Take the time you need, though. It's not as if we're defenseless, and I'd rather have that thing working properly so we don't have any back-end injuries here.
[Watch him viscerally regret saying this as Yiling is stormed week 3.]
Yes, sir. Though with the way things are going, I expect our two families to be too distracted picking fights with each other to think about bothering Yiling Ridge. It seems like they've been more than happy to blame each other for all the disappearances lately.
[ 9S dusts his hands off and straightens. ]
Speaking of which, have you come across any more news on that front?
All the same, better safe than sorry, especially since violence has been bleeding into the streets here. [SIGHS... But then, with a wrinkled brow:] Why in the world would Xian Le be blaming Mori on the disappearances, though? I haven't heard of anyone from Westside going missing.
[Granted, he wouldn't be surprised if that changed, at this rate. As far as news goes, though, he shakes his head.]
We're still looking for the men involved in that alley affair and the two Xian Le regulars from the courtesan house who were talking about putting the Mori in their place and might've been involved in a woman's disappearance. Might be the same people but considering we have no names... [And the descriptions they have to go off of are sO VAGUE.
They're also looking into the gun too but he'll just leave that off for now.]
Edited (actually let me change that since we're still in car theft limbo,,) 2020-02-03 14:07 (UTC)
[MEANWHILE HE'D JUST ASSUMED THEY'RE FROM EASTSIDE.]
I haven't asked them, actually. [Maybe he SHOULD. Except they don't get that route option in investigation but it's fine they're doing their best.
As for that, he shakes his head.]
No decent descriptions yet, but I'll pass anything I hear along. All we know is they were easily recognizable in the area by the employees, so I'm hoping it won't be too difficult to track them down. If they're the same people from the alley, they might smell of smoke and coffee, but that's still next to nothing to go off of.
[Let 9S become a bioterrorist hacker and root through people's minds for info 2k20.]
Thanks. [A little nod - and then a smile, because YEAH. Kids sure are like that. He moves back to the door and waits for a quiet second or two before opening it. The hall is empty.]
--Take care, alright? You're free to stay for dinner tonight too, if you're still around by then. I'm sure Bennett would be thrilled.
[ Oh, no. He appreciates the sentiment, but he wishes people would stop trying to give him food... He scrambles for an excuse, SORRY BENNETT. ]
Sorry, sir, I -- promised my brother I'd be home for dinner. But thanks for the invitation!
[ And he scuttles off in a hurry to get back to the kids. For being good, he presents them with one (1) small turtle from his pocket. It's a very talented turtle with one amazing trick: it can do somersaults. Some would instead call it one amazing death wish because it's incapable of putting itself right-side up, but that's neither here nor there. Have fun, Bianca and Bennett! ]

[ Granted, 9S hasn't asked them directly. He just kind of... assumed. ]
About those Xian Le regulars from the courtesan house... Would you happen to know what they looked like?

[ Frustrating!! Life would be so much easier if you could just hack into people's brains and root around for info. ]
I'll keep my ear to the ground and see what I can find out too. For now, I should probably get back to kids before they come looking for me.
[ Well... Bennett, at least. ]
