Right, as my lovely golden dove mentioned, I’ve been doin’ my fair share of research on the Dark. I’ve been tryin’ to be more of a part of all of this, after all. Now, we know that Umbra, Aka, and Pleasant are working together on some sort of new coffee shop. Not sure how long they’ve been formulating this Charleston Chew “Dark”, but it likely was some time after Umbra’s latest scheme fell through. Between Aka and Pleasant’s activity, it seems like they’ve been trying to get a hold of some fresh blood, choice?
Aka has been hanging out at the local Death’s Door clubs running some sort of “game.” Well, I reckon it’s more like some sorta test. See, he’s been drippin’ some sorta ink-black cocktail onto the hands of anyone willin’ to play. Accordin’ to him, most don’t take too well to it. But there must be some chuffin’ dark heap o’ cokes who can hold out against it. And, fair as we know, it only affects Canadians. Meanwhile Pleasant has been working on springin’ more direct hires out of the big joint. Deep, dark, lurker types form the Locker.
As for Umbra—as for why he’s doin’ all of this in the first place—we have to assume he’s still after that rare first-edition Jackdaw and Rook he’s been searching ‘igh and low for. He thought he had it a few months ago, down at the bottom of the Tide, or something along those lines, but he’s recently changed his tune. Could be that the book moved around. Could be that he knew the book was never there… maybe he was looking for someone who’d know where the book is? That’d be a right Pale order, wouldn’t it? In any case, seems he’s done messin’ ‘round the Tide, but I can only assume he’s got another angle to work at now… I’ll spill my more sensitive customer research over in the Colonel.
