CREE. |
Owner of the discreet Gilded Cage hideout. Cree has traveled all of El Nysa and established his spies, or "little birds" in every corner of the world. He knows intimate details about important figureheads of both factions, and suspects that the refugees are not all that they seem to be. Despite being a known criminal and the apparent orchestrator of the VIOLET 2710 attacks, he provides work for the lower class and seems to have a generally positive reputation. He has a strong dislike for Ashti.
Cree is almost never seen without a small bird on his shoulder. You might find that you have seen this bird before, and if you listen closely enough, you will hear it speak common to its owner. If you specifically request contact with the the bird alone, it is entirely possible it will carry out a conversation with you.
A character's first interaction with Cree is free of any favor, but they will be required to take up a job (thief, enforcer, informant) before they can return for more information. Sign up at the EMPLOYMENT THREAD and direct any other inquiries by characters here. IC consequences for breaking silence on his whereabouts to their other NPCs will be discussed by PM.

There's technically still a price on his head, he knows, but that seems to matter less now that they're in Wyver territory. When 76 walks into the Gilded Cage, he's got his gear back: visor and gun, smuggled here by Ana for him to reclaim. He realizes that this Cree person probably already knows exactly who he is, so there's no need for introductions.
"The next time we meet, you'll have to do me a favor."
76 scoffs behind the mask and shakes his head. ]
I'm pretty sure I already did one for you. I'm guessing you're the one who ordered for that carriage job to be misrepresented to us.

[ 76 is right to assume Cree already knows him, and thus there's no alarm in the way he looks at the man. His expression is calculating, eyes narrowed as if he were trying to determine whether or not he should anticipate violence. ]
Yet you went to great lengths to avoid clearing your name, as your companion has. Might I ask why?
no subject
If he decides he wants to take this guy out, he's going to have to figure out a different way to do it. For now he only wants answers, and to get an idea of who he's dealing with. ]
I didn't expect the Olympian authorities to believe my side of the story. And when they did offer me terms, I wasn't willing to agree to them.
[ A question for a question. He can do this. He continues to stare Cree down, the red line of his visor doing most of the work for him. ]
What do you have against Olympia, that you decided to resort to acts of bioterrorism against civilians?
no subject
[ He reclines, resting his hands on his knees as it becomes apparent 76 is not hostile. ]
It is those that pull the strings behind it all - those authorities that would have compelled you to submit - that anger me. In truth, I did not want to perform such an atrocious act towards civilians, but there is not other way to open their eyes. An attack towards the nobility would have been dismissed as one of jealousy, one trying to hold their grand city back. When an attack goes towards the common people, they must point their figures at who should have protected them. The ones who would have such a vile weapon created.

You're saying the people in charge back there are the ones who made the virus?
[ 76 crosses his arms tight over his chest and cocks an eyebrow. ]
That seems awfully convenient.
