That crooked game you're playin' (closed)

WHO: Kaz Brekker and Drake Riley
WHERE: Riley's lab
WHAT: Exchange of information? Manipulation? Both?
WHEN: 6/27 (right after Riley's Network post)
WARNINGS: Language maybe? Nothing anticipated, but TBD



Locating Drake hadn't been too difficult, and despite the general uproar he had started, it was relatively quiet in the lab that Dr. Riley was working in. Quiet enough that Kaz wrapping the end of his cane against a doorjamb was a jarringly loud 'knock knock'. When he spoke, he sounded like he gargled with whiskey and ground glass every morning; like an old man speaking from a teenager's mouth.

"Well since you've kicked a hornet's nest, it's probably a good idea that we talk before you need to outrun the stinging."

Kaz put his cane back down so he didn't walk with too much of a limp. He was suffering in the summer heat and instead of an immaculately tailored 3 piece suit, he was down to a tailored long sleeve dress shirt, pants, and fitted black leather gloves. He had a pocket watch with the chain attached to a button on his shirt, and the actual watch in his pants pocket.

"The talk about studying other powers? I've been trying to do the same thing, though with more subtlety. You've now taken a hammer to that subtlety."

Kaz shrugged.

"I'll admit that I want to knock your teeth in for that since now all that time and effort I put in has been wasted. But based on your post, there are a few ideas floating around that no one has probably told you in the first place, and some ideas you seem to have no trouble grasping but... well let's just say 'you're not very good with other people'. So you've managed to make more enemies than friends doing it, but you are now able to study Billy's powers."

Kaz paused in walking further now and leaned on his cane.

"I want to know what you find out. So I am proposing an exchange of information. I tell you all that's been figured out about Temba thus far and the goal I've been working for months to achieve in order to get out of here, and in return, you tell me what you find from studying Billy's powers."
