The meeting with the group

I had lived alone for a while when I was contacted by Juggler. He told me that a group of runners needed some firepower, or something. I was starting to get bored, no one picked fights with me, and the rats had moved further away from my territory. I agreed to a meeting in a pub on the same day.

I packed up my things and left. I checked the time and made sure I was there on time. At the same time as I walked in I noticed two human males walking in too. Other one shined in the Astral Plane. That was the first time I met Nerdy. The one who shined in the Astral Plane introduced himself as Sly. He was a fox.

We sat on Jugglers table for quite a while. They tried to talk something, but I was a bit out of place there. I knew only Juggler, and apparently he knew Sly. I got my sword in front of me and started sharpening it. It made me feel calm.

Finally Jinx arrived. From all my teammates I have known Jinx and Nerdy for the longest. Neither of them are my good friends though.

After Jinx had arrived Juggler left. He wished us luck before leaving. Then Sly and Nerdy told us about their problems. They needed some firepower for their job. I suppose they needed to capture some people, and to take a revenge on some Mr. Johnson. I didn’t know why, but it didn’t matter. They promised some money and action, and I was in.

I left with these people. We went to an abandoned building, and down on its cellar. I understood that there was one more person on the team, but wasn’t there yet. We had to wait. I found me a nice corner and started sharpening my sword again. I didn’t pay much attention to others, only enough to know what was happening. Everybody seemed to be waiting.

At two o’clock in the morning the last member of this team arrived. She was an elf female called Opium. She talked something with the others and said that we should leave the place immediately. I followed the example, got my things and left with them
