Last Shot Internet Cafe
By: MrV117 Date: May 6, 2012, 12:03 am

The sun has set and night has come around. In The Garden
District of town there is small two story internet cafe called
The Last Shot. When you first walk in there is a cafe on the
first floor. There a few wooden tables and booths spread about.
There someone can buy things you would normally find in a coffee
shop such as different coffees, teas, small sandwiches, pastries
and etc. Around in the cafe there are people having coffee with
friends, studying, just doing whatever. At the front of the
store there are workers taking orders, making drinks and etc.
In the back of the cafe there is a staircase leading upstairs.
Upstairs there are 18 PCs. six against the left wall. six
against the right wall, and six against the back wall. In the
center of the room there is a nice large sitting area for people
with couches and coffee tables.
Downstairs Marcus is sitting at one of the tables messing around
on a PC tablet. He has on a pair of nice blue jeans, a white
button down shirt and a pair of black steel toed boots.

A single black feather falls onto Marcus' right hand as he
types, just before a young fem sits down beside him.
Fancy seeing you here in the Big Easy, Marcus. Nyx speaks
softly. I thought you'd up and vanished back in Bedlam.
She peruses a manuscript as she muses to the male, chuckling at
the title.
So, what does bring you here? It's not the most glamorous of
places at the moment, now is it?

Marcus looks at the feather then powers down the tablet and sits
the tablet down. Marcus tilts his head up to see the young
female that is talking to him. He tilts his head having a
questionable look on his face.
" I am sorry but do you and I know one another?" Also how do you
know about me being in Bedlam?"

Oh, I suppose you had disappeared before I flew into town. You
can call me N. I've heard a million things about you from Grimm.
I'm sort of, well, his case worker.
Nyx laughs at the thought- a dry, bitter chuckle that denotes
something under the mask. She peers over Marcus' shoulder at the
screen he's working on.
So what are you working on, there?

He tilts the tablet just right so she can see it.
"its this thing call weather. I wanted to see what it was going
to be like for the rest of the week. So can i help you with
something? If your wanting something you place your order over
there."
As he says that he points to the "order here" sign at the front
of the the store.
"or are you doing some case work for Grimm and he has track me
down and sent you to talk to me about something?

Nyx furrows her eyebrows. Oh...Grimm is dead. Has been for a
while. Thought you'd heard. Thought maybe you'd care. Guess I
was wrong.
She pushes back her chair and folds the manuscript in her hands
in half. I guess I just wanted to meet some of the people he
cared for in his former life. There are big things coming, and
it's good to know who your allies are in these troubling times.
She looks over at his screen. Weather's going to be a bit poor.
I foresee snow for the next week. She says as she stands.

He sits the tablet down and looks at the young girl.
"my dear i do not mean to be rude but when you get to be my age
you kinda grow numb to seeing close friends and allies die. Does
it suck .....yeah it does. He was one of the few people I could
really say i trusted while i was at Bedlam. Question just how
did he die?"

"No ones really sure" says an old man reading a hardback copy of
'war and peace' in the corner. he looks to be about fifty and
radiates an aura of calm.
"all anyone knows is that it was the day he got married. Some
say he died in the club fire last year, other people think that
some old enemies caught up to him. and there are stranger
rumors... rumors about the hand of god smiting him for the evils
he committed in life or hoards of creatures from the dark places
of the earth, dragging him down into the pit." the man smiles
sadly, "personally i think he just did it to himself. He wasn't
exactly the happiest man in the world".
"i was.. a friend to him, a long time ago. The names David
Conner. That there is my Neice."

Well David I am Marcus nice to meet you. Now between the three
of us I find it very hard to believe that Grimm is dead and
gone. Now Mr. Conner I agree with you 110% Grimm was not the
happiest man in the world. Hell would make people with
depression look happy. I too was a good friend of Grimm and
knowing him he was most likely doing some research, was about to
come across something of importance, or find something of
importance. He knew word would most likely get around about that
so he faked his death so that people would forget about him and
he could figure out what he was about discover or did discover
in peace.
Points to Nyx. " you look like you enjoy pastries with ummmmm
coffee sweeter the better" Points to David " not to be rude but
your look simple. Coffee............black.....if not black then
two creams and two sugars.
Oh yeah last I talked to him was few days before his wedding. It
was a Skype call with him and his wife. Well not a call I left a
video message.

Nyx smiles. I'll grab us some coffee. She says, skirting around
the table. She presses a hand gently to David's shoulder as she
passes. Uncle David, you should have some tea. You know what the
doctor said about stimulants. She leans over and removes some of
the reading materials that have accumulated on the table in
front of him as she speaks.
