The Meeting
Pauline: It's been fairly quiet with the VAT since we got back, but when Paddy calls a meeting, I know that's about to change. He presents us with statistics, meant to show that Oakland has an anomalously high death rate. I follow through his logic, even if I don't completely buy his conclusions. At the time, I think it'll be nice to wander around Oakland, chasing snipes, and not get shot at for awhile.
Amiri's New Car
Narrowing Down Suspects
Pauline: The first thing I do is hit Hocus Pocus, the local occult shop. It's cheesy and kind of stupid, but at least they don't look at me funny when I discuss serving Brigid. The owners, Lucien and Kali, are in, and we chat for a bit before getting down to brass tacks: have they seen anything odd around Oakland?
They have- their tarot readings have started coming up with unusual numbers of the same cards, specifically the 5 of Cups and the Emperor. The former is about loss and disappointment, the latter about control and rigidity. I get the raw numbers from them and pass it on to Paddy. It might mean something.
After that, I wander from shop to shop, trying to talk someone into letting me see security tapes. There's a jewelry store that's up for it, and I notice one major trend: kids going by with bags of pizza and fries.
I wander around, and decide to hit the "O", and sure enough- the same fries. It's kind of disgusting, but it makes a reasonable lunch. I have my fill and pawn the rest off on college kids. They need it anyway.
Amiri's New Job
Pauline: Amiri goes undercover, and I start getting cravings for "O" fries. Serious cravings, to the point where I can't eat anything else. It's disgusting, actually. Amiri spots drug dealers doing business in the "O", one of which has some sort of Greasenomancer aura. It seems like kids are getting addicted to the fries, and it might be the case that they're trying to harvest essence from the kids. Regardless, it looks like the "O" is the epicenter of what's going wrong.
After a whole day without being able to have a cigarette without it tasting like garbage, I'm pretty pissed off. I'm almost, almost tempted to confront the punk behind this. He's so full of his own crap that he just carries a .45 in his waistband. I just want to pull it out and pistol whip him with it.
