Two days later you meet up at the Nightshade Tower. A tall building built in the usual art deco style of early 30's. Mr Nightshade hands you all tickets to Queen Mary and also gives you same kind lapel-pins that Elizabeth and Mickey has.
"Now I'm not implying that you would be my employees from now on, but your well-being is my consern now. These pins identify you as associates of the Guardians and gets you access to our safehouses and armories. Elizabeth will inform you later on how to find those in any city." He says as he walks you back to the taxis. A few moments later you arrive to the seaport and walk up to the Queen Mary. It is a recently comissioned luxury liner that travels between USA, France and Britain twice a week.
The whole trip takes about four days. Somehow mr Nightshade managed to get you cabins that are next to eachother. Elizabeth has a single cabin, as does Lotka. The others will have to share two double-cabins.
The thug was supposed to meet the Hand on the second night of the journey in the Observation Bar. It is on the upper decks and shows a nice view of nightsky.
On the second night you go to the bar. You pick a table and survey the room. There is ten other people on this late hour.
-A young couple of obviously wealthy families sit in one table, intensively staring at eachother and holding hands.
-At the counter there is a big man brooding over a drink, looking lost to his thoughts.
-At the other end of the counter is another man. He is dressed casually and Jack notices that he tries a bit too hard to look unnoticeable. He has a drink infront of him and looks like he would be drinking but in reality he just moves the glass to his lips from time to time, not even taking sips. He is surveing the room and eyeing the young couple with contemptous look. He also seems to keep an eye out on a man sitting at one table.
-This man is dressed in a strange poison-green/black pinstripe-suit, he is quite short and bald with a snake-motif tattoo in his head. A young girl with red hair is snuggled in his arms and he keeps whispering something in her ears.
-At another table there is an italian looking fellow who looks quite nervous, he has drank at least three whiskey-shots in the short time you have been here.
-In the corner, almost hidden by shadows is a woman dressed in bright red evening gown. Her spot seems to be perfect for seeing the whole bar in one glance and would have been your first choice of sitting had it been free.
-The last two persons present are the bartender and a man with press-card in his hat, talking together.
[sblock=OOC]Jumping ahead a bit
. I couldn't find much info about the layout of Queen Mary or specifics about the bar so I'm taking quite a bit of artistic freedom here. Now I know this post must seem a bit confusing with at least four suspicius looking characters in the bar but that's the fun of it. You have no idea who is the Hand or wether he has even arrived yet
. Please, feel free to plan on what to do
