OC: I wish I could pay you more, you put a lot of work into your mission. Hurry up and rank-up (gentle reminder) because I would like to see you compensated better for your efforts. Also, feel free to enter threads with us oldies. We DO bite, but most people like that. In fact, if you read this post I am making a RP request for a private mission follow-up for this thread if you would like to take it considering the care you placed in this mission.
IC:
The old man with his icy stare watched as a young man, too young considering who he apprehended entered the small, overfilled office space. The room had become a haven for remains and implements discarded by the young men and women that had been dropped off here. Some, the contents of their pockets and in other cases the broken and fragmented links from the chains of manacles that once bound but the captive broke free. The guards had called ahead to announce who was just placed in their custody alongside a description of the nondescript in glasses that strode to his office.
"Excuse me; I'm Kagari Toshiwakai; Genin. I'm here to turn in the bounty for Haku Saburou."
The old man was impressed, once could tell because the deep creases about his eyes and forehead became shallow as his brow raised and pulled with it the loose flesh that plagued his aging carapace. The infamous flesh-peddler shuffled in behind the young Genin, a sour face suggested his disposition. The old man shook his head.
"Impressive," the old man commented.
"Also, the first objective has been met, and Yoshiwara won't exactly be in business for a long time."
That was a detail the old man did not want to know. Collateral damage and responsibility meant paperwork... a lot of paperwork. He sighed, which would mean more than his fair share of typing followed up by more than his fair share of listening to Sousuke gripe about the paperwork he had requested of him. It was a cyclical process of torment and complaint.
"I will have a neutral party assess for damages this evening," he replied as his mind wandered through a list of potential Genin and Students who might want an easy buck.
"I also have a log book I picked up that contains customers that link his brothel to them, but it's filled with fake names and aliases. Hopefully, someone can figure out who these names belong to."
The boy offered and passed a well-worn book to the old man. Plagued with curiosity the elder opened the book and read the chicken-scratched list of names. Some newer than others judging by the fading ink.
"Hmmm..." he pondered out-loud.
"A cryptogram," he commented. The names were not fake, rather they were simply hidden behind other words.
"An anagram to be more specific," he concluded. Most of the names seemed to be nothing more than gibberish. That is, all but one.
But no, it could not be. That would be impossible and it made no sense for
her to be written in those pages. He did not say anything but from the look on his face he saw something troublesome indeed.
"Also, Councilman Toru Yakashima was a big sponsor of the place; Saburou admitted that the councilman donated funds allocated by the Kazekage to spend on his establishment."
The boy's words pulled him from his thoughts.
"Yes... uh... of course," his wandering mind still not entirely present. He waved his hand and invited the young man to sit down.
"I-I... think you should avoid mentioning Councilman Toru for now." He looked up at the effeminate criminal with disdain.
"Would you be willing to accompany the ANBU in his interrogation?" He asked Kagari quietly. This was something he was going to need to keep small. Something that he would need to limit leaks on so the fewer the better.
"For now, I will be keeping him in the BINGO Books. I would like to limit notice of his capture for now."
Mission Offer: Assist in Haku Saburou's interrogation. This will be a group mission where you will participate with an ANBU in the interrogation of this NPC. Your choice if you would like to accept this. The reward will be in accordance to your OC rank and the site-wiode mission requirements and restrictions for a group mission. Do you accept? If so, I will be requesting an ANBU for you.
BINGO: E Rank Haku Saburou
