It was around about this time that a man with a crown of antlers and an emerald jacket wandered up to their table. Overhearing Snake's comment and knowing his reputation, Errol assumed he was in the right place.
Odwian collected the cards and dealt them back out, handing each thief present a card from a suit that he felt they were best qualified for. A blade for Snake, a heart for Jack, and a cup for Bwah. He placed one joker in front of himself, and the other at the empty seat besides him. "Decent spread, I believe. Short a suit, but, hrm..."
Snake nodded back to Errol. "Enough to make the game interesting for certain, but not everyone knows the stakes." He said, indicating the others that didn't yet know the nature of the job.
"And I'm eager to tell them. Trust me, I am. But I think we have officially crossed the line from recreational, boozing dilettantes and coalesced towards a gathering of ruffians in the shadows. Let us continue elsewhere." The man stumbled to get out of the booth, apparently haven drunk more than he realized during his extensive wait. After a short time spent wobbling and wavering, Odwian stiffened up, blinked twice, and gathered the sobriety necessary to make it to the establishment's door.
Having only had half a glass of wine, Jack merely shrugged, lit a cigarette and rose to his feet, leaving the remainder of his refreshment on the table. He casually walked over towards the door, never falling more than a few steps behind the leader.

Arl - "Okay. You probably have reasonable reasons for not wanting to talk to the peacekeepers, and I bet others have already given you the 'just trying to get to the bottom of this' speech, but I'll ask again - could you please come to the station and answer some questions?"
Cee, whisper at the same time - "Good, good. Look, I'm here to give you a heads up - that girl talking to you is planning on following you around for a ridiculous amount of time. That's not the heads up. Sorta. What IS the the heads up is that this one bloke is going to - gah, be right back."
**A low but angry voice can be heard outside the doorway, although it might be lost in the din between it and Smith. Something about "I'm just taking in the sights, you got a problem with that?"**
Arl - "Um, yes. I am one of if not the youngest member of the peacekeepers. I think there are some rumors about me floating around? I'm Arl Lotreab."
Cee, whisper - "Back. I gotta make this short, people on this street can't mind their own business. Sending in the rainbow-haired child is an act of desperation. He's on the spot, top brass wants you talking. If he don't get you in, he's gonna start spreading rumors. Effin blue bloods. Lose all their morals the moment - seriously?"
**The voice outside the door suddenly yells 'I'm going! I'm going! Sheesh!' and is heard no more.**
Arl - "I'm also one of if not the youngest member of the warrior's brotherhood. I've captured Gossel, paralyzed the leader of the crimson smile, took down the guy that was hunting and.. stuffing.. warriors in his crazy forest. If you think I can't hold my own we can put that to the test outside. The park or the pier maybe?"
Jack- I've been known to take the occasional job around this city.

Errol- I've got a decent straight going, if it helps.

**A second voice whispers in Granite's ear at the same time, on the opposite side of Arl. Cee has taken a perch far away from either of them.**
Cee - "Don't act like you can hear me. Not that it'll be hard for you."
