Thread: kings queens knights and rooks (attn jim)

"Mind if join your game?" A smooth voice says stepping into view is a swarthy man dressed in a casual business suit. His olive skin glistens slightly in the light, his dark eyes sharp, a smile wide on his face, he seems friendly enough.

" im just a novice but if your willing theres no reason not to right, mister...?" he smiled again back at him making sure to keep the tips of his fangs from showing as he spoke

The man's smile broadens even further and he sticks his hand out.

"Razor, just Razor please."

he extends his hand grasping it firmly but slightly sits his finger on the veinin his wrist trying to confirm his suspicion " kendov amsel at your service. i dont think ive seen you around here before perhaps we have just missed each other these last few months ive been in town?"

"Indeed it seems we have. I apologize for that, I'm usually better about greeting new folks to town, but it seems of late that there has been a veritable flood of new faces as well as other matters to tend to," he says taking the seat across from you. You note that he has no pulse and is slightly cool to the touch.

"So, let me be forthright, for what I am told is you are a man of few words and blunt honesty. I am not here to sell you anything, I'm here to enjoy a game of chess and to see if I might be of any service to you.

I'm quite skilled at acquiring things that our kind of people find useful, no matter what that might be. Here is my card," he hands you a card.

Collectible Collectibles
Dealer In Antiquities
Old Town, Lamar MO 64759
417-555-5555

There is a pyramid on the card in the background behind the print.

kendov takes the card looking it over for a few seconds before slipping it inside the coat pocket.

" a man that aquires things. that would be very useful in the coming nights. but im sure you dont take usual payment either " he smiles again setting a piece out.

" your information is correct however im not good with subtlety things should be done in the light were shadowed daggers can easily be seen at the back "

Razor smiles again.

"No, payment is not necessarily the 'usual' as you say. Contrary to the popular belief about my . . . family, I do prefer all my deals done in the light as you say. I agree I do not want a dagger at my back. Too often people think those of us with a bent towards independence are also fair game.

This of course is not the case, so I prefer to deal with the civilized friends in our society.

In short though, yes, i can get you things you might need. Knowledge, items, contacts, these things I are easy. My prices are always fair, most often just a favor returned later as is the way among us.

Is there anything you might be looking for currently?"

"honor in your dealings is a first for me. as for those independantly operating they should be allowed thier freedom if they so choose it. but should they effect the people who dont choose it it becomes a problem. i am sure the latter makes your job difficult as well"

he inhales deeply on the cigar as he thinks about his needs. " i am a man of simple pleasures. at the moment it seems that my aquisitions are adequate for the time being. but that all changes with the movements of others, just like this board here. " he waved at the table with the glass as if to accentuate the point.

" there is something i may be coming and asking you about in the coming future if my lead does not pan out."

another sip and he sits back getting more comfortable in the seat.
