Location: The Circle TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | It was always a night time ritual. Leaving his office for the day and heading to The Circle. A Bar that is tucked away from the main strip of shops. It is run by Lexa, the brown hair barkeep. Schon has been a regular here since his first days in training. It was rare that he varied from his normal choice of drink when he came in and it was usually a very special occasion when her did. Tonight was not such a night and after a day of failed tests and one of his workers going to the infirmary with severe burns he wanted to have his drink and head home.
Schon walked in tonight with the jazz like music playing. He hair looked ragged as if he had run his hands through it a hundred times or more. His face was a little dirty and the bags under his eyes were indicative of the long day he had. He walked up to the bar and noted Lexa and raised his hand indicating a one. He knew she would understand what he wanted. He made his way to the far corner of the bar and sat down at a table made fore more than a single guy but he did not care. He took out a small tool and a few components to tinker with while he waited on his drink. He let out a soft sight as he sat down, he had been on his feet all day and it felt good to be able to relax.

The Circle was fairly crowded tonight, so it took a minute for Lexa to get back to him with his order. When she sauntered over, she made sure to lean across the table to emphasize the scandalously low cut of her top "Hey Schon, good to see you baby. You drinking alone again? I'm surprised with all those new friends you was playing cards with the other day."
She winked at him and stood up. Schon already knew well about how her power worked and wasn't falling for it. "I'll be back with another drink when you're ready baby." She was hardly gone a minute when Schon heard her again behind the bar "Well hey! Speak of the devil Schon, there's one a your card buddies now! I'll wave him over to you. Ain't good to drink alone."

Location: The Circle TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | Schon was still tinkering with some small gadget when she sat his scotch down in front of him. He made it no secret that he took in the view as she leaned down across the table. "Always a pleasure Lexa. And well card players aside I normally always drink alone. Its peaceful that way."
He picked up his drink as she walked away and took the first satisfying sip and let the strong taste hit the back of his throat. He looked up as she called out about a card player returning and was curious just who from the other night came back in. He was not pleased however to see she was waiving the person back over to him.

Schon can't see anyone Lexa could be waving over at first through the crowd of the bar. After a few moments, no one walks over. When he finally turns back around there is something different about his table. Namely, the drink and parts are moved aside and there is a blonde boy sitting cross-legged in front of him on top of the table, staring at him.
A slow smile spread across Licht's face and he pulled a tiny pink drink umbrella from his shirt and began twirling it in his fingers. "Sooooooo.... we meet again. You still haven't let me into your lab to shoot dangerous experimental guns!"

Location: The Circle TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | Schon was staring blankly at the blonde now sitting on his table. It had been a little over a week since he had played a round of cards with a group of eclectic individuals. This person in front of him was the most puzzling. He was looking at him again now and let the core in his eye scan the man. He pulled his drink back over to him and raised the glass taking another sip before continuing. "It takes a bit to get such clearance, we do not let just anyone walk the halls you know?"
He was wondering if there would be trouble tonight. He was not sure of this individual.

Licht still smiles like a cheshire cat. He reaches into a vest pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper. "I thought that might be the problem, so I went to talk to someone about it." He slides the paper toward Schon, waiting for him to unfold it. Meanwhile he waves Lexa over and orders a fruity drink with extra little umbrellas.
When Schon does take the paper, he finds it to be an official letter from the Cathedral Board of Executives stating that their esteemed guest Sieger has their full permission to tour the research labs. More surprising even than that is the fact it seems it was actually signed in person by Executive Noah. This is definitely not something Schon has ever run into before. And was this guy implying that he just went to talk to one of the almost never seen Executives?

Schon Krece Test TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | He took the paper into his hand and was shocked at what he saw. "Signed by an actual....hmmm. More questions...It seems I have little choice but to take you." Schon's brow furrowed as he looked at the paper. Just why did he want into the lab. He downed the last of his Scotch and as Lexa brought over the fruit tendered drink he motioned for a second of his own. he sighed slightly then looked at Licht again.
"Ok so I get to the lab around 8am tomorrow morning, If you want to have a look around then I will give you a tour, I guess I am just wondering why you are all excited about goin' You don't look much like a gun guy or someone who liked death in general. Thats what I work on, toys that kill."
Lexa was again returning to the table to bring Schon his second drink he nodded and indicated for her to take a few more credits when she tallied the bill. He was looking at Licht again taking another sip of his fresh drink.

Licht took the little umbrellas from the drink and began placing them haphazardly in his hair alongside the one he had pulled out from the other night with the card game. It gave the odd impression of a cluster of mushrooms popping up from his blonde head.
He slung his legs backward so he was laying on his stomach and sipped his drink as he considered Schon's question. "Unless you have live test subjects that you fire at I don't think there would be anyone getting shot with the weapon in your lab. I wouldn't want to shoot anything live anyway. Well for real. If it was for fun and no one got hurt that's different. Have you ever played one of those laser holographic game things at the arcade part of the Flying Wumpus? I go there sometimes, they're fun. Give me a headache sometimes though. Well, not me exactly but it all amounts to the same. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? I wonder if Deacon or any of the others from the card game are busy tonight, we could borrow cards from Lexa again. Ooh, do you have any railguns?" He paused the seemingly nonstop stream of consciousness to order another drink from Lexa.

Schon Krece Test TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | He was unsure what was happening now. Was he being made a fool? No even with all this oddness there was some kind of innocence in Licht. But he was still highly confused. But he wanted to play along. He wanted to know what this persons interest really was. He knew more about Schon than most people do.
"Well we have used live subjects before with non leathal rounds or lethal rounds that we can cure. The Wumpus well, I think too many people go there anymore, its why I like the circle. Coffee icecream is my favorite, but that has nothing to do with the conversation. I do not know if I am up for cards, I am not a social person. And yes, I have railguns, but they are still in prototype models and unsafe for firing at the moment. The core interface has been giving me trouble and frankly im not sure what is going on. Its like the power driver is simple pulling to much energy from the cores themselves. I have had two assistants go down this week because of it. One of them is truely hurt and may be out for months. One of my top aides. and Did I mention that he helped create the damn thing. I swear it is hard to find good help and Im really just tired of mistakes."
Schon realized he was off on a tangent and coughed slightly before taking a bigger swig of his drink. As Lexa brought back another for the blonde he motioned for one more. He was probably going to need it.

Licht pulled the umbrellas out of the little drink and kept decorating his hair with them. He pointed a finger accusingly at Schon "Ice cream ALWAYS has to do with the conversation. Coffee huh? That fits you, you're sort of a busy person I think." He regarded Schon thoughtfully for a moment then went back to other thoughts. He sipped at his drink before setting it down and returning to a chair at the table.
"Lethal rounds you could cure? That sounds messy. But it makes me wonder, could healing rounds be a thing? Some sort of elixir gun." He leaned his head on his elbow and regarded his strange drinking companion "So you're having energy trouble with a sensitive weapon this week? And one of your guys got hurt? Um, could it have to do with what's going on up there?" He pointed in an upward direction without explanation.

Schon Krece Test TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | Schon sat his drink down. He had heard rumlings about some kind of weird solar activity but he had not even factored them into what could be happening in his lab. It made him wonder. His labs should be protected from such things but he had heard about the trains issues as well when listenin to news through NICOLE. He looked back to Licht who was now in a chair and nodded half thinking about the issues in his lab and about the questions posed.
"Actually we made a gun that could heal wounds, found people did not like being shot even if it helped. So I sent the work off to the science labs which I hear turned it into some kind of quick needle/air thing for medicine injections. A Hypo- something of other."
He was slightly distracted he wanted to know if these flares had been affecting his lab. He wondered who he should contact to find out.

"Huh. So something intended for combat use turned into something for medical use. You people are always full of surprises." He thinks about it then adds "Sciency people I mean." He sat in silence letting the other man think for a while, then eventually produced a notebook and pencils from somewhere and set about to sketching... something. It kind of looked like a mass of lines rectangles and circles.

Schon Krece Test TAG: Anyone words: Plenty | Did he just say science-y people? Schon shook his head and had to laugh a bit. "Man, you are a strange character yanno?" Schon downed the last of his second drink and let out a soft sigh. He looked down at the skecth trying to make out just what it was. He was also wondering why he was still sitting here, pondering if this was all some big prank on him. The sad part was noone he knew would do that, he worked around a bunch of stiff brains and not much else. But yet this one here. So free of thought and light in mood. It was a bit of fresh air but, Schon knew he was a threat, he knew that this man had a secret he could expose.
