thought of the day: it's time we got what we deserved.

location: Mistral

pov Ojama

I and Kaz were walking through the lower levels of Mistral while team RNJR, Qrow and knife ears were going to Haven and Hurk and the Astartes were busy prepping the house we had for use. i need to say that i was kind of disappointed by the lack of shady stuff Qrow made it sound like the lower levels acted like under-hives but it was maybe a black market and some drug dealer here and there. i found what i was looking for or better said who i was looking for as i entered a small antique shop it was dusty with all kinds of nick nacks here and there i moved up to the counter and dinged the bell. out of a side room came a woman dressed in a tux she had long red hair flowing behind her and two large fox ears on top of her head.

???: what can i do for you two?

Ojama: are you the boss of this place?

???: yes, Lotara Sangria at your service.

Ojama: i heard that you have ears everywhere is that correct?

Lotara: depends on what you want to know?

Ojama: anything interesting happened in the last two months?

Lotara: depends except for your normal territory disputes between neanderthals, i would say that the white fang is acting strange and that huntsmen are disappearing.

Ojama: care to elaborate?

Lotara: i think you are a smart man you know how this works.

i pulled out my wallet and took out five-hundred lien and gave it to her.

Ojama: somethings never change.

Lotara: if they did the person who begun it was a fool.

Ojama: amen

Lotara: now the white fang seems to be planning somthing big and i mean fall of Beacon big as well as there is talk of a change in leadership, maybe a coup even. as for the huntsmen, they are just disappearing left and right when they go on a mission there isn't much except for rumours.

Ojama: what are these rumours?

she held her hand out while waiting for me to put another five-hundred lien in it.

Lotara: some think that there are Grimm caple of killing huntsmen hunting them, some think that that new Mantle army is recruiting them and then you also have the possibility that the psychos of the eightfold path are hunting them.

i handed another five-hundred lien to her.

Ojama: what about Atlas?

Lotara: except for the splitting of their armed forces and the odd patrol here and there Atlas has been tightly sealed.

she handed me 250 liens back. i leaned over the counter.

Ojama: could i hire you for a non-standard service?

Lotara: depends, i am not one that you will find on a street corner.

Ojama: while you do look stunning your not my type. but i want you to keep me informed on white fang activity and for each kind of information you will be rewarded.

Lotara: how much are we talking and for how long?

Ojama: four hundred upfront, and fifty per information for 3 weeks.

Lotara: you have yourself a deal.

i handed over the money and a piece of paper with my scroll number.
