The young girl squealed slightly, slipping her hand into his and dragging him along. "How about dancing?! I know this great place! Its so popular and expensive but I know you can get us in! I Just KNOW you can! Right? You're a big star and all. Right? You can get me in, can't you?" She looked at him with big pleading eyes.

OOC: CHASE

Vincent is somewhat taken aback by the abbot's question and hesitates a moment. "Yes, I suppose I can relate..."

He is silent for a moment, and then returns to the business at hand. "So you think that Jun will take the scroll to a collector, then. I don't suppose there's anything else he'd do with it, and it is quite valuable. Have any collectors expressed an unusual interest in the scroll, or made offers? And do you know if Jun has any contacts in the market?"

Chase smirked... making one last glance to the woman, Check you later... why do the bad ones always have to look so good..., he focused his attention on Anna, "Sure thing, it should be a breeze, and I would love to see what kind of moves that body can do...."

Chase follows Anna to the expensive... exclusive club... his mind abuzz with the euphoria of a race in the morning, Gil's status, and just how good the Captain would look in a teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini... and of course Selena...

"Really?" Bobcat asked, in shock. "I always thought that monks weren't allowed to drink. Do you know anything about the abbot's woman?" The mechanic puts a hand against her heart solemnly. "I promise that no one will know what I learned from you- I don't betray my confidences that easily." As if to assure herself, she takes a quick cursory look about her to make sure they aren't being overheard.

The abbott sighed, shaking his head. "You do not understand, young one. The scroll is more than just money. It chronicles the history of my family. We are descendants of Mitsuhiro. Jun...he lived here at the temple all his life...how would he know who to contact for something like this? Of course we've had offers from private collectors, from museums...do you think he would do such a thing as sell it like a common trinket?"

The club was loud - in all manner of the word. Garish neon lights, garish people - all of course dressed in the latest Mars fashion which seemed to be getting worse each passing season. At the door, two huge bouncers stood there, neither looking particularly friendly.

Anna squeezed Chase's arm, slipping her own in his and dragged him toward the two men. "You have to let me in now!" she calls out smugly to them. "I have Chase Williams with me! And he's taking me inside!"

The two men look askance at him, a skeptical expression on their faces.

"Vice abbott," the old woman corrected sternly. "Our abbott is a good, kindly man. The vice-abbott...his vices are well known but everyone looks the other way because he is to inherit." She gestures around at the wealth. "As you can see, the abbott of this great temple holds much power in the city."

"As for women, the vice-abott likes anything that's young, pretty and easily manipulated," the old woman snorted derisively.

"Do you think he would do such a thing as sell it like a common trinket?"

Vincent sighs inwardly. Isn't that what you were telling me at first? he thinks.

"I'm just trying to establish what Jun's plans might be. If we can determine what his intentions are, it will be easier to track him. If you don't think he'll sell the scroll, then why do you think he stole it?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Play it cool Chase... Chase smiles, "I think they know who I am babe, though I would be surprised if I am not on the guest list," Chase flashes some woolongs to the bouncers, "Though maybe we can get inside, so my girl and I can enjoy the music..."

Bluff +6, along with Wealth of 4, if I am assumin correctly as long as the wealth is not over my wealth or above 15, my wealth rating does not go down right?

Bobcat fixes the old woman with a bright beaming smile. "Thank you very much... for the information on the vice abbott," she says, making sure to emphasize the correction. "I suppose we can only hope that he turns his act around and learns some self-denial, man, for the good of the temple." The mechanic turns to leave and then remembers herself and turns back to the elderly matron. "Peace," she says politely, raising two fingers in a V.

Then she turns to head to the courtyard, which is the last place she saw Vincent heading. "Wonder what Vinnie's up to," she thinks aloud, a hop in her step. "Wonder if he's managed to dig up any dirt?"
