Emma sat in the syndicate's meeting room. Her and Techno took turns throwing cards into a hat. They made small talk back and forth, Emma got up to leave and Techno tried to pull her back to the conversation and to keep her there. Emma stayed a little while longer eating some of the food Techno offered but eventually got suspicious of him. A man walks through the opening to the portal room. He was shorter than Emma by a few inches, he had fluffy brown hair with a white streak in his bangs. He had a grey tee-shirt under a floor length trench coat. His jeans were high waisted and scuffed, his tennis shoes were a faded black. He smiled before walking to Techno, "Good eats?" he asks gesturing to the food set out. His eyes trail up from the food and land in Emma. The strange man scoffs before walking to her. "I didn't know you had company!" He yells over his shoulder. "My name is Nickolas but please feel free to call me Nick." He smiles warmly at her. Emma smiles back at him but turns to Techno, "Nice to meet you and all but," She looks around, "why are we here?" Techno laughs a little before answering her, "Nick worked with someone you might know, Wilbur?" Emma thinks for a second before questioning, "Wilbur Soot?" Nick nods. "How is he? I haven't seen him in so long!" "Oh he's dead." Emma's face drops, Nick makes an explosion gesture with his hands.
