IF YOUR DESIRED INTERACTION IS TIME-SENSITIVE, PM US FIRST TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS.
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.
[ She is trying, he'll give her that. It's enough that he'll humor her, nodding after each suggestion as if they are viable locations. In all actuality, she isn't wrong to assume them. ]
The Old City is popular for the unsavory sort, yes... but I don't think you are looking deeply enough, my dear. Things may be right in front of you. If those left have survived this long, surely they have some support group? A place to gather...? Perhaps some are members of the guard.
[A support group? Hmm. A place to gather... like this place, maybe? Haru raises an eyebrow at that, but nods slowly.
Members of the guard... well, that's more worrying.]
If that is the case, then someone needs to keep an eye on them. [People in places of authority abusing said authority is sort of a sore spot for her.] I imagine you've been doing that already. [Well, obviously. He seems to have an eye on everything.] I would like to help, in whatever way I can.
I have been keeping a close eye on them. The influx of them recently troubles me... so many of them assigned to the market, yet none of them in the blast. Doesn't that strike you as odd?
[ His expression gradually becomes more serious, lips thin and gaze growing more cold as he goes on. ]
It would be a great assistance to me if you started examining them more closely. Bring their schedules, and we'll discover who might have left these terrible conspirators slip by.
[Downright suspicious, in fact. Haru probably should have noticed it sooner, but then again, she was pretty swept up in a "these guys made my friends sick, so I have to catch them" rage.]
Getting access to that sort of information might not be easy - but I will certainly do my best.
[What to do, what to do... maybe she can hit up Ardyn? He did have a job with the guard, after all. Will they be hiring here in Wyver, still? A mystery. I'll PM you guys at some point if that's okay but I totally get it if this is a bad time.]
I'll return here once I've made some progress on that front. [And even before that, honestly. Gotta eat to live, gotta have $$$ to eat...]
