Any idea what place I could put Victor?

@eemmtt

Considering how thematically similar he is to Sir Frederick Selous, I'd probably put him close to where he is, so you can really get that "they're foils to each other" thing going.

Shivani - New Orleans ==> Nox
Shivani sighed and stepped through immediately heading to stand by the door. With a glance over her shoulder, she opened it and looked through before stepping through to lean against the wall beside the door. She reached in her pack, pulling out a drawn picture of her wife and adopted daughters. She growled and punched the wall before stomping back into the room, probably interrupting what was going on.

@Belwicket

What exactly is this referring to? We've stepped through the teleporter, and are now nearby, but not inside, Castle Tepes.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Oh, wait. In retrospect I kinda forgot there was an actual team waiting to steal the eye. Sorry, I just kinda skimmed around for posts from the people who were actually at the castle.

@Earnest Evans: We're all now entering the castle itself, and from the sounds of it we're going to visit the Eye of the Serpent's chamber next.

@Great Sogeking

Right, but where have you been? Have you been sitting just outside the castle gates, or are you in the castle courtyard?

Massive Multiversal Crossover

So wait, where is everyone at Castle Tepes right now? You've gotten into the courtyard, right?

Hi-Hat Crew, New Orleans

Doctor Facilier and Sir Frederick Selous were being quite courteous and sociable. Shivani, however...

Shazay couldn't help but chuckle at how brutish Shivani was acting. After all, she was sitting in a very precarious position-- in danger of offending her employer!
"Aight, thanks, doc! The plan's gonna go off without a hitch, 'less you boys gonna start shit. Personally, I ain't recommending it. Hi-Hat, set up the teleporter for six people to these coordinates."

Hi-Hat pulled out a clunky-looking apparatus, and extended what looked to be a tesla coil from its base. He began typing in coordinates, periodically stopping to check the card Dr. Facilier had given them. Meanwhile, Xiangshi approached Shivani, scorn in her eyes.

"You are being very rude. Know this: we owe you nothing, and you have not endeared yourself to any of us. People are giving you golden doorways into wonderful employment, and you spit on their faces with every boorish demand you make. Should this trend continue, I will see no fault in abandoning you. And if you should raise your hand against us, we will see no sadness in delivering you to HFIL."

"Teleporter's ready! C'mon and get moving!" Hi-Hat said, wiping the sweat off his brow. He couldn't wait to get back to a place that isn't 85 degrees without any cloud cover.

Xiangshi moved to enter the teleporter, but not before turning back and glaring once more at Shivani.
"Improve your attitude, or face the consequences of your actions." she said, stepping through the glowing aperture of the teleporter device.

You might have used the wrong name in your header.

Shazay Jordan, New Orleans

Seeing that Frederick Selous was willing to compromise and was evidently suffering from severe drug withdrawal, Shazay relented and shook his hand.
"Sure thing, boy. Aight, that's that done. You got any more problems, I ain't wanna hear it. Movin' on... yo, Facilier! We--"

Hi-Hat moved quickly to interrupt Shazay. This would need some semblance of finesse.
"That's good, Shazay. Doctor, as we understand, you have the exact location of the castle our mission is set at. We know only a castle name and a planet name. However, you most likely have its exact universal and geographic coordinates. If you would be so kind as to give them to us, we could keep moving forward without much worry."

Shazay Jordan, New Orleans

What the hell was this hunter trying to do? Did he honestly think that the lack of him on this mission would be so dire that they'd do anything for him? Shazay rounded on Frederick, and looked him in the eye.

"Nuh-uh, old-timer. No detours. This isn't a damn video game. You either help us out and we go out hunting later, or you go screw and we take just Facilier and Catwoman with us. We ain't haggling for specialists."

The Hi-Hat Crew, New Orleans

Hi-Hat glared at Frederick and Shivani with consternation. They weren't part of the plan, but they would probably work...

"The flight plan lists only me, my men, and Dr. Facilier here, but... I suppose I could fit the two of you in here. You two had better demonstrate that you're worth the trouble, or I'll have to leave you back here. Shazay, tell them what we're doing."

Shazay nodded, pushing back his dredlocks and flexing his shoulders. "Aight, let's see. We're gonna head down to the planet Nox, to the castle where the Serpent's Eye is located. There, we split up into two teams: one for the castle's surroundings, one for the castle. Team one'll take this bag'a salt, and draw some salt markers in strategic locations around the castle. Team two'll go right up to the gates and talk to the master in charge. Let 'em know there's Shadow Eternity boys on the way. Get 'em prepared. That way, Shadow Eternity's attack'll fail, and we can head in later."

Shazay smirked, and flicked his nose with his thumb. "Easy as hell, man. In 'n out, and we done. Go out for hookers an' blow, you know what I'm saying?"

Hi-Hat Crew, New Orleans

Hi-Hat attempted to look where Sir Frederick Selous was looking, and saw Shivani and Dr. Facilier, patiently waiting in a car. He wagered a guess that Frederick wasn't referring to the good doctor, and recognized who Shivani was.

"Hey," Hi-Hat whispered to Shazay, "Isn't that the recruit from Athas who totally orc'd out at her job interview?"

Shazay looked at Shivani, and laughed heartily. "Hey, yeah! Dude, that's her! I'm glad she found a job so quickly, but who's that with her?"

"Oh, hey! It's Doctor Facilier! Betcha he's waiting for us."

Xiangshi spoke up, her voice thick with consternation. "Then we'd better get moving, before he gives up."

Hi-Hat turned to Sir Frederick Selous. "C'mon, we'll meet each other and you can see if the recruit is actually a Feliz salir or whatever."

The Hi-Hat Crew made their way out of the alley, and stepped right up to the cab currently occupied by Dr. Facilier and his bodyguard. Shazay knocked on the door, and spoke with a professional tone. "Doctor Facilier? We're Shocker+."
