West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

i'm always just one jump ahead of the hitmen and one trick ahead of disaster




Cleanup crew huh? So Tipson had gotten one guess right at least. How many other guesses about the guy would he get right? The spotless boring inside of the car sure wasn't a surprise. The guy didn't like to talk much, kept his thoughts to himself, and was all business. So the car itself said little and stayed clean. At the question of Tipson's expectations the young man responded with a dry retort far more use to all forms of humor, "Yup, I figured it would be boring."

Damn the guy really was boring. They were in the car, Tipson was at his mercy and he wouldn't look at the box? Tipson leaned back more in the seat thinking of the mystery object he wasn't getting to look at. Like a kid whose hand was snatched away from the cookie jar, or the blue jay denied its shiny bauble Tipson wanted to see what he'd gleaned. Amazingly Tipson went quiet for a bit. Like it or not his throat hurt like hell and it would take a lot of talking to get more than short answers from him. Oh well. He'd get dropped off at the doctor and that would be the end of it.

Tipson turned his head as the hunter actually spoke up first. Amazing. Of course, it was to ask a question on Tipson's plans. Tipson waved his hand, "There was a fight, I lost, shoulda seen the other guy. Ok, he came out pretty ok but don't tell anyone, alright?" Tipson shrugged, "Long as you don't mention abuse or anything they don't ask for a lot of details. The more details you give the more idiotic things sound." Tipson could spin quite the fun tale when needed but there were times simplicity was the most believable story. This time it was also the truth it just was missing a few details that was none of their business.

Might as well keep to a pattern, question for question. "Why are you taking me anyway? Pretty sure that wasn't in your job description and you don't play hero." The question game could be a fun thing, albeit painful. Each question asked in its own way was giving information as much as the answers were. So, who would get more from talking time?
