She pursed her lips in thought, “I think I’m gonna save the pay out from this one, maybe if I spent less money on sweet stuff I’d actually be able to afford a place that isn’t about to fall down around my ears,” She grinned briefly, and slipped her hands into the pockets of her patched up jeans, unwilling to even chance her bare skin coming into contact with the array of mysterious substances coating the wall behind her, “and that’d be much appreciated, but I don’t know how far you’ll get with it, it was making some pretty funky noises when I left…” 

Liv let the slip in preparation slide with nothing more than a raised eyebrow and a pointed look. If it had been anyone else, she probably would’ve refused to continue on principle, but this was Lanius, and she knew his skills on the field more than made up for the small mistake, plus, he [i]had[/i] offered to fix her heater. She glanced toward the entryway, checking for casual earwiggers, before filling him in, “He looks like the kind of arsehole who tricks kids into buying stuff that’s been cut with rat poison, but I guess you want more specifics than that,” she smiled ruefully before continuing, “from the pictures, he looked to be around five foot, maybe a little shorter or taller, and probably in his fifties. Also… grey hair, one of those faces that looks kind of ratty, and he was ridiculously skinny. From the reports, it sounds like he tends to stick to one of the back alleys a few blocks away from The Nexus,” she paused, a thoughtful expression flickering across her features, “It wasn’t really clear [i]who[/i] exactly ordered this, but if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say one of the nexus do-gooders finally got sick of him hiding under their influence but didn’t feel like getting their hands dirty.” 

 She shifted, and moved away from the wall, a kind of restless energy boiling in the pit of her stomach, “In terms of strategy, this shouldn’t be too tough, so we can probably just head straight in and take the guy out, but…” she frowned, her lips stretched taught and white, as she turned back to face her partner “I dunno… there’s something about tonight that just feels… weird, I guess? Like something big’s about to go down,” she shrugged, trying to dismiss the thought, “whatever it is, I don’t know about you, but I sure don’t want to get caught in the crossfire. I want to get this over with as quickly as possible.”
