A tall shadow walked through the long and dirty alleys of the old city. It was a late wednesday afternoon, the perfect time for all the twisted minds of people to awake. The shadow person took a left, a right and then a left turn again, until they stood infront of a small, good lightened building. Its windows were big and above them was a even bigger sign, reading "Nix's", a bar.

The person took a deep breath, making their heavy armor creak; before they opened the door and stepped inside.

Inside, there were lots of people, it was very loud, but the mood was pretty good. The shadow didn't go unnoticed, but no on seemed very interested in them. They only shared a few looks of distrust or disgust towards the stranger, before everyone went back to whatever buisnes they could possibly have to attend to.

The stranger looked around, pushed every plating in the right position and then walked towards the big bar counter where the barkeeper was currently exchanging a few words with a small colkyan worker- drone.

When the barkeeper noticed them heading his way he began to smile and wave happily towards them.

"Shinux! Hey there, i've been waiting for you!"

She made a small sign of aknowlegement, before sitting down on a tall bar chair across the cheerful guy.

"Here for a job  aren't y'?", he grinned, moving a small toothpick from letf to right in his mouth.

Shinux only nodded in agreement.

The 'keeper understood though, he looked around his bar and fixed his one big eye on  a wealthy looking man. Then he pointed one of his two long fingers at the man.

Shinux nodded again and gave with a cold robotic and broken, but polite voice a small 'thank you'.

She turned away and walked over to talk to the man. Who greeted her disgutingly cheerful.

"Greetings! Shinux, is it?"
