Finished The Not So Merry Band of Misfits

Gyres took a long, deep breath. “So your the little thief?” Gyres asked calmly as he sat on his makeshift throne. Before him was a slim, harpy-like man who was pinned down to the floor by two armored Ashen. The harpy stuttered “P-Please Gyres! Have forgiveness!” Gyres rolled his eyes and groaned. “Oh my god can any of you say anything original? It’s all ‘Please don’t.’ Or ‘Have forgiveness.’ You know you’re getting punished so just...stop talking.” The harpy held his tongue for a moment before asking one final question. “W-What are you gonna do to me?” Gyres was quiet for a moment as he thought before finally making a decision “Cut off his tongue. I don’t want to hear him any more.” The harpy would squeal and panic as the men that held him down began to force open his mouth and pull out their tongue. Before the blade could come down though, another Ashen bust into the room. “GYRES SIR! Y-Y-You have a visitor. I think their here for recruitment.”

Gyres’s mood suddenly perked up as they jumped up from where they sat. “Finally! Someone interesting is finally here, take the thief to the back rooms and do it. I don’t want our dear visitor to be scared off, and there better not be any problems or else both of you are losing your tongues too.” The two ashen holding the harpy down nodded and began to drag him off through the corridors leading deeper into the building. Gyres meanwhile ran a hand through their hair as they began to relax. “Well what are you waiting for? Let them in already.”

Gyres chuckled as Caissa entered the room and casually trashed on Gyres’s throne. “Heh, I like you already. Welcome to the Nest! It’s certainly seen better days but....we’ve made due with what we have.”

Gyres got off of the throne and made his way to Caissa, eyeing her up and down. “You’d be correct, I’m Gyres. But who might you be? My men say your here for recruitment but I’d prefer actual confirmation. I mean surely you came here for some reason and not just to call me king of the garbage heap.” Gyres chuckled again

Gyres carefully listened to what ‘Betty’ had to say, however his men didn’t seem to like it. One of them got up from where they were sitting, slamming their hands on the table next to them. “You come in here insulting Gyres and acting like you own the place as you talk about recruitment? Fuck you you little-“ Gyres watched the grunt, his happy smile not leaving his face as he did so. However for some reason Gyres turning his attention to the grunt caused them to quickly shut up and sit down, mumbling to themselves.

Gyres then turned back to his guest. “My men can get a little...excited. Anyway, ‘Betty’ if you are a drug pusher you’ve certainly come to right place. You may have heard I’ve established a little bit of a market, so I’ve certainly got a stockpile.”

The man scowled at Caissa as her coffee splashed at his feet, however he didn’t make any noise this time and instead went to get a mop so he could evade angering Gyres.

Gyres meanwhile didn’t seem phased in the lightest at Caissa chucking her coffee at one of his men. If she truly was a big drug pusher then her help might actually be of use. “You need distribution huh? Well I’ve certainly got the manpower, and the contacts.”

When Caissa pulled out the sample vial Gyres immediatly tried to examine it as best he could. He was certainly listening to Caissa but his attention was focused more on the drug she had with her. “Well it certainly looks professionally made. However I been in this game for a while sweetheart, what is the cut? I’m not going to waste my time peddling this shit for free after all.”

Gyres had to think for a little bit with the options given to him. Both were equally appealing but he needed to figure out which one was the better choice for the both of them.

“I’m going to have to go for the five percent. I kinda like the way I have things set up right now, and I’d rather not have someone mess it up. Besides I think it’s kinda obvious that my men don’t really enjoy you being here so the more distant we are the better. So when can I expect the first drop off? I need to check a few things before I get the shipment.”
