[i]Collab between Silver Carrot and Goat God[/i]

-- The Docks, 2:30am --

There were very few people at the dock this late. Mostly sailors, shiphands, people to hold the rope. One of the figures noticeable in the fog as a woman, in a blue dress and a hat that shadowed her face, long curly blonde hair flowing out behind it. She looked like a peasant girl's image of what an Aristocrat dressed like, except much less flashy. She wanted to stand out, not draw attention to herself. That may seem like a contradiction, to an ordinary mind...

She looked around. Her 'boss' was supposed to meet her here. 

Eldest came out of the shadows. He looked like your normal Goat, but he was much more than that. His Horns almost went in a circle, which to his kind, was the best looking. "Your Late." he said with an angry tone. "If you expect to be payed, then be on time." Eldest hated when people didn't go by the rules. Epecially his rules.

The woman smiled politely, with the subtle hints of a sneer behind it. "I got to th docks in good time, but I got distracted. The bakery smelled good, so I popped inside." She reached into her pocket, and pulled out a watch on a chain. "Seven minutes. I don't think that's worth fretting over too much, but let's not waste any more time."

"Yes lets. It has come apparent that you are 'good' spy. The Gruff Gang has been looking into getting one for a while now. You may need to go though... A trail period. You know do a job or two, get some dirt for us." as he said this, he levitated a bottle of boose to his mouth.

The woman put the watch away. "I like to think I'm a good spy, though thievery's more my field. But if you have the money, I'll do it, and I'll do it well. What kind of...trials did you have in mind?" The woman's mouth twitched. Her red lipstick was all that could be seen of her face, due to the shadow of her hat, and the darkness of the docks.

" Hard trials. Your first Task is to infiltrate the Rough Tide. There is a Rival Gang member there. We are not sure what She looks like other than Brght Red Hair. Either Kill her or Bring her to me for questioning." He floats a piece of paper, saying where the Rough Tide is, and How much she would be payed for killing or bringing her. 2,000 for the kill, 3,500 for the questioning. "As you can see, money is no object here at the Gruff Gang. Upond accepting, you will be part of the Gruff Gang, and recieve a Pay Check for working with us." he said, drinking the last drop of his boose. "Damn. Out of drink. Do you accept?"

The moment she heard money mentioned, she smiled. The smile persists for the rest of the conversation. "You had better be here when I bring her alive. And I'll bring her alive. Killing...isn't my style. Taking the option that pays more, however, is." She takes the piece of paper. "By the way, do you have a name besides 'the Eldest Goat'?"

Eldest Turns away from the woman. "No." he says with a sound of pain. He walks away, tossing the empty bottle on the ground. The bottle is empty, and doesn't have a label. "Be here in two days, same time" He shouts as he leaves, out of sight, into the fog.

'Two days?!' thought Goldilocks. 'What am I supposed to do if I catch her before that?' She didn't say that out loud though. That would have turned a few heads towards her. Instead she headed straight for the Rough Tide. There she would possibly find her red-haired lady, but hopefully, it wouldn't be that easy. The most interesting part of a achieving something is the journey, after all.
