(Setting) Gray's Cab(Not in Service)
| "Alright, Everybody who's coming aboard, come aboard."
>Asher opens his door and unlocks the passenger doors
| >OS enters and sits on the backseat
| >Pera stands near the driver side, facing Asher.
"You guys need me along for the ride?"
| >CN joins in the back as will
| (*Well)
| >Asher looks at Pera
"Depends, do you want to join in the investigation or just leave it to us? I'm fine either way, the charge is the same though."
| "I think I'll leave it too you. I've had a bit of a week."
>Pera says as she goes back inside.
| >OS makes space for CN and looks at AG
"Ready when you are"
| >Asher waves her off
"Alrighty, we'll keep in touch"
>He starts the engine and starts driving
"Shouldn't take too long to get there, not many have cars that made it through the riots. A bit opportunistic to say, but it's certainly been good for the cab business"
>He laughs
"So, I've been thinking that the office is big enough, and if the jobs are big as well, I wouldn't mind taking on two partners. even 3 way split for the fees, since none of us are really in it for the money."
| >>167839
"I don't mind. Honestly this whole Brit non-war thing that happened helped me get some spare pocket change thanks to some lucky investing, so I should be good on zenny for a bit. Like I said though, the contacts from the job are definitely the real pro to this anyways."
| >OS nods
"I dont mind it either, I've been overdue for a change of scenery and GCPD just aint as interesting as it used to be when I was still a rookie. Plus if I can use my talents to help, then I'd much rather do that"
| "Excellent! That only leaves one more order of business"
>Asher glances back in the mirror
"We gotta name the agency! I was thinking of calling it the Peace Lily office, but I think poor Lily will die f embarrassment if I did that. Any sugestions?"
| >OS shakes her head and shrugs
"My naming sense is terrible, all I can ever think of are old movie references or bad puns"
| >Asher grins
"I love old movies, let's hear 'em! I'm a fan of the classics, spaghetti westerns, film noir, stuff that's old even by old people standards! You ever see sabata?"
| "Er... I'm part of a group called the DynamoFucks so I'm not exactly sure how much you want my input on naming the office as well. Oh though in my defense I didn't really come up with it... *sigh*"
>CN stops looking at his screen and leans his head back, seemingly remembering a tiring experience
| >OS nods
"I've seen it, but I never really was into western, Sci-Fi is more my thing, along with cult classics."
>She looks up
"I'd say my favorite movie of all time is the breakfast club"
| >>167876
"I'm not sure Reggie will let me put profanity on the window, so maybe we'll rethink that one"
>He laughs
>>167880
"BREAKFAST CLUB?! Your taste is about as old as mine!"
| >>167885
"Trust me I wouldn't blame him, even I don't really like the name, I've just gotten used to saying it in a serious capacity."
| >OS shows a wry grin
"Glad to finally meet someone who gets it, I've been interested in old stuff since I was born, I even salvaged and bought several old internet servers to analyse their content"
| >>167888
"Who named your group, anyways? If you can say,that is. I may be an investigator but I've got no interest in digging into a friend's secrets"
>Asher pulls a cigarette out of his coat pocket
"You guys care if I smoke?"
| >OS shakes her head
"I smoke myself, I dont really mind"
| >>167890
>Asher grins
"You wanna see old? Check out my family heirloom"
>He reaches into his coat and pulls out an old revolver
"Colt Single Action Army, Second generation. This baby was made in 1963, and still kicking. I've been taking care of this since I was ten."
| >>167891
"Nah its fine, the members of my team aren't a huge secret anyways, at least to those who want to kill us. Although honestly after I'll this time I've forgotten who even said it in the first place, I think it was Merc or Fox... I remember it was a fusion of the first two starting members names at first, but then through pronunciation it got changed to that."
| >OS mimics a gruff voicd
"The best handgun in the world, six bullets, enough to kill anything that lives"
>She then gets a bit more serious
"jokes aside, thats a fine piece of weaponery, wish I had anything like it"
| >He grins
"only ever shot this revolver three times in my life. Well, outside of ranges, that is. It's weight and stuff are different than modern guns so if I don't practice I'll get sloppy when I need it"
>>167900
"Well, let's hear what CN comes up with, then! We're a team now so I'm not gonna just pick something stupid and run with it. Besides-"
>He hands over the list from the office, he must have grabbed it before he left.
"I'm terrible with names too"
>They're pretty bad
| (I have work soon, sorry, i'll be back in a few hours, just huh fill me in once I return I guess)
-OS
| (It's all good)
| >>167911
"Well I'm sure the three of us can come up with a decent name at least..."
>CN closes his eyes to think
| (I'm expecting a cool name when I come back hehe)
| >Asher lights his cigarette and takes a drag on it before putting his revolver back in his coat
"She's got me plagued with movie references now. If I can't come up with something good I may just call it Gray's Detective Agency"
| "...How about... Out of the Ash Agency?"
| >Asher laughs
"A name like that might end up getting us mixed up with the phoenix corps! Still surprisingly fitting for me, but I won't get into that now"
>He laughs again
| "Maybe just something simple like 'Gray Ash Agency'?"
>He sighs
| "Ah, it'll have to wait. We're here"
>He pulls the cab up a but down the road from the destination and pulls into an alleyway.
"Let's get to investigating"
>He opens the door and steps out before pushing a button on his key fob, activating the car's nanocamo
>It immediately takes the appearance of a dumpster.
| >>168232
>CN steps out of the er... "dumpster"
"Well where should we start? I doubt there's much left in the apartments themselves."
| >Gray's phone buzzes. REM has left a text message.
>' Are you investigating with out me, Mr. Cute P.I.?'
| >>168241
""No, probably not, but a thorough investigation always starts at the scene. from there we branch out into the surrounding areas, alleyways, stuff like that. something may have blown into an alley, a person may have seen something, things like that
>>168242
>He responds to the text
>'Hey, I even made a post saying I was taking interviews for partner! Was kinda sad when you didn't respond :c'
| >>168251
"No I agree, it definitely pays to be thorough, just saying we m8ght find more things just outside where the guys in the video were."
| (I swear I didnt fall asleep, I have no clue what you're talking about)
>>168232
OS follows along taking notice of the the car's feature.
"That's something to behold, afraid of theft?"
| >>168252
"Definitely worth looking at. You take that, I'm going to comb through the ashes and see if I can find any augs that didn't get destroyed. some of those can be pretty resilient."
>>168260
"There's that, and it's also nice for when you don't want someone to know you're staking out a location. It was a lifesaver during the riots though, probably the one thing that kept it from getting smashed"
| >>168266
"Yes they would... and in this case out it could potentially reveal some interesting facts..."
| >OS nods at the explanation
"Sounds useful, the riots were hell"
>Her eyes start glowing anew, her augs scanning around the surroundings.
"I'll look around, see if I cant spot anything suspicious or that we cant see with the naked eye"
>She looks at AG
"Is that alright?"
| >Asher laughs
"You don't have to get my permission, if you have an idea roll with it. We're equal partners here."
>He walks into wreckage and begins searching, looking for parts, and keeping an eye out for any signs of movement in the wreck
| >OS stifles laughter
"Sorry about that, force of habit"
>She goes towards the wreckage, and starts looking around, sometimes looking at the ground, and crouching down.
| >CN looks down at his deck
"Based off of the video and the position of the apartment... the guys would have been..."
>CN walks past the pair and the ruined apartment to nearby where the soldiers were in the video
| >>168286
>There is not much you can get. Lucky the snow was not melted in the fire, or trampled away, so from what you can deduct, is that there were 4 soildiers, 2 guys , from the larger feet, and 2 smaller pairs, girls. You can also see that one of the girls was supported by one of the guys, seeing the close grouping, and modest trail of dried blood in the snow, telling you that one of the girls was injured.
| >The blood trail leads to the building, but by the time you reach the entrance, the blood trail has been burned out.

| > A fairly generic looking black and white style cab, with the word "Gray's Cabs" and the number 507-xxxxx plastered on the side. The interior is leather, with an adjustable glass pane separating the driver from the back passenger seats. The dashboard has a smartphone resting one it. A light on top shows the cab as not currently taking customers
