The abbott's face grew slightly more saddened. "Jun...he is a good boy...I do not know why he took it. Yes...it makes sense to you that he would sell the scroll...but I tell you...that is not him. He is a good boy and I cannot understand why he would take it." He glanced off into the horizon. "I cannot understand it at all. Perhaps more meditation would enlighten me. Would you care to join?"

Bobcat walked out into the temple area but she didn't see Vincent or the Abbott there. Though she did see Thalessa standing over in the corner near one of the guards -- looking none too happy at all. The monks around her moved at a leisurely but efficient pace doing their daily tasks.

A moment later, she heard steps behind her and a voice - quite smooth if a bit nasaly - speaking. "Is there anything I can help you with?" A turn revealed the Vice-Abbott with his oily smile.

OOC: BOBCAT

The bouncers looked skeptical for a long moment, but they nodded for Chase to proceed in -- after he greased their hands further in addition to his bluff. Anna squealed with delight and squeezed Chase's arm, casting a smug look at the rest of the people waiting in line. A whisper in his ear promised him that she was all his tonight.

Inside the club the music pounded in his ears and threw him into an estatic wave and of course the air thick with smoke -- the origin of which certainly was illegal -- bouyed him up even more.

Many people were either dancing underneath the flash of lights or sitting around tables consuming incredible amounts of liquor and other substances perhaps not quite that legal either. Everyone looked dressed in the latest fashions and possessed a sneer acquired by knowing they were better than anyone else.

And of course, Chase fit it in perfectly.

OOC: CHASE

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase smiled seeing all the debauchery, Welcome home... Chase takes Annaonto the dance floor, and orders drinks for the two of them, and well proceeeds to have a good time, playing it cool, and suave, and keeping an eye out for any trouble... all while enjoying himself.

Well these are the kind of missions I can handle! Chase muses to himself, holding a drink in one hand, and Anna in the other as the two dance, "This place never dissapoints!"

Vincent does his best to hold back a smirk. "Well I'd like to get on the trail as quickly as possible- the longer one waits, the more difficult the job becomes. And as more time passes, things are going to get dangerous for Jun. A lot of the hunters out there aren't going to stop to look into his motives, they're just going to start shooting."

He looks at the abbot pointedly. "I think we can bring him and the scroll back without trouble if we can find him. But to do that, we need more information. Can you think of anywhere he might go, or anyone he might try to get to? You've probably got the most insight into him of anyone here, so you've got the best chance of pointing us in the right direction."

They weave, they party, they slink all around the dance floor. By the time they were halfway into the date, Anna was rip-roaring drunk and it certainly didn't look like she was going to stop any time soon. Not to mention that she was trying every smoke she could get Chase to procure for her.

Giggling, she hiccuped and sighed, leaning all over him. "I think I drank too much...it all wants to come out now." She giggled again. "Gotta find the girly room! You going to wait for me handsome?"

From the corner of Chase's eye, he noticed two men watching him - both of them tough looking and well-dresed. They each nursed a glass but neither looked like they were drinking.

The abbott shook his head, heading off toward the meditation rooms in a slow gait. "He has lived his whole life here. I don't know who he would know out in that world. I don't understand why he would go. Why would he need money? I thought he was so happy here...he seemed so happy."

OOC: VINCENT

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Vincent keeps pace with the abbot toward the meditation hall.

"I can see you're busy, but I do need one more answer- how do you know that Jun stole the scroll? Did someone see him take it, or was there a note or anything like that? How was the theft discovered?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase glanced to Anna, "Uh huh, yeah I will be here," his attention focused on he two gentlemen, Two against one, I don't like those odds...

Chase takes a seat, and keeps an eye on them, and will watch them, and if they make eye contact he is going to make it known he sees them...

Bobcat's grin was ear-to-ear. "Thanks, but I'm just looking for a friend of mine. About yay high, dark hair, dark suit?" Subtly (but not too subtly), she looked the Vice-Abbott up and down, and grinned again. "Well, I guess she was right," she added just loud enough for the man to hear, with a wistful sigh. "It's a pity."

A stray hand went to one of her pony-tails, which she slowly stroked, twirling the long thick braid between her fingers.
