[I’ve been sick w/ a fever for over 2 weeks now so popping in a hiatus. Was hoping I wouldn’t have to but wanna play it safe and writing is just not happening until this clears up. Hope yall are doing as well as you can out there!]

“Right, right, standard policy, ain’t it?”

Redd was many things but he wasn’t a snitch. He knew keeping the names of his suppliers out of his mouth was best for everyone.

“Gotta say you’re pretty bold, I like that, I really do! But I don’t make promises I can’t keep. Bad for the reputation, yanno? I’m not about to agree to any shares on profit if I don’t know the profit I’m makin’. See that’s in limbo till I see the kinda art you got for me.”

 He brings out a small well made copy of the mono lisa, its so life like if it wasn’t for the fact that it was half the size of the original.  “this, is just a sample. We got bigger back at the storage.” it took a lot of debts to get the money to find people. Money does make the world go round, no matter how much people would deny it.  “I got some famous copies out there too, still interested?”

[gingkoapron]

The fox peers intently at the piece, rubbing his chin and tilting his head. Giving it a real Look Over. He didn’t actually need to inspect it thoroughly to know its marketability but it’s always good to put on a bit of a show.

“Yeah I’m still interested!” he chimes enthusiastically, straightening back up. “You know some real talent in this city. So you want 30% cut, right? I’m not opposed. It’s a lil’ hefty but I ain’t got much to barter with. I’m new around here, I need the connections. I also need a bit of start up money. What do you think of a smaller cut at first? Just until we got a sure business goin’?”

[7threvenge]

gingkoapron​:

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s crazy what folks will pay for art! Surprisingly steady market for it too. Been doing this for years, yanno.”

Redd’s smile doesn’t budge, but his tone loses just a bit of its sprightliness as he affixes Drakken Joe with an appraising look.

“Enough about ol’ Redd though, what’s your game?”

 “Well, lets say I can get you some art. But this partnership aint’ without its fall out. I want no mention of my name if anyone asks, and I get 30% of your profit.”

 straight to the point, of course as a fellow scammer its best to get all your bases covered.

{ 🍃 }  — Nook twitches his nose to the putrid scent of fox fur and past mistakes. Lowering the sticks in his paws, he lets out a tense sigh, minding himself with a few rocks amongst the sand. No point making it seem like the very presence of him could throw him off his busy work.

(What had he been doing? Right, building a fishing rod. The sun began to set against the horizon, and some cooked fish would be really appetising by now.)

“Hm, this island is supposed to be relaxing,” he absently croons, tugging at a few vines he’d set aside and beginning to braid them together, taught and strong. “Well, hm, that was false advertising.”

[gingkoapron]

As Redd draws closer to the beach he realizes the figure on its familiar. He readjusts his grip on the fruit he's cradling in his arms and comes to a halt. Nook. Of course, why not. Yeah, why the heck not. He's gonna be trapped on this deserted island and his old friend's gotta be here too. His old friend he's known lived in Spirale but was just too busy to catch up with. Yeah, that's what it is. Busy. Always too busy to visit, never found the time. No point putting it off now though, this is happening.

The fox emerges from the foliage and carefully unburdens the fruit onto the sand. Then he invites himself to sit a meter from the raccoon. A distance of familiarity, facing the sea. Nook knows him too well to bother with the unctuous salesman charm he usually puts on, but still... he can't help himself from posturing as more at ease than he felt. He gives his arms a stretch before folding them behind his head, paws resting on his neck. Tense? Not this fox, no sir. His tone’s amicable as he turns to look at Nook. “So I take it this little getaway wasn’t your idea?”

SpiraleFES was a perfect time to hustle and make some coin with game booths and attempts to bank on selling a feeling. There was no hustling on an empty stomach though and Redd was sure to take full advantage of the free barbecue dinner down by the Boardwalk, a conveniently short distance from where he’s been doing festive business. The fox is loading up his plate without shame when he spots a green-skinned woman he’s realizing he’s seen more than a few times at this tasty hand-out. Redd wasn’t one to forget folks and he knew when he saw her before she was the same dame that bought him sake that one time. Maybe... he should show some good will and return the favor. Also maybe if she’s out here doing the same thing he is she’d be open to some profitable ideas. Yeah, this could work.

He approaches her with a smile, tone chipper. “Hey hey~! Funny bumping into you again! What are ya doin’ here?”

The Crimson Lane of Golden Ward was a keen point of interest to Redd. Not that any of his business was ever illegal (and if it was you can’t prove it!) it was good to know the avenues of... unofficial commerce. He could pass on the gentleman’s clubs, not his sort of clientele. The gambling halls, though? Now you’re talking. People willing to drop cash on a chance were the kind he needed and those in the Crimson Lane might be able to answer some questions for him that the gamblers of The Golden Dawn couldn’t.

It was night-time ‘cause of course it was. None of the good stuff happens when the sun’s out. The nosy fox has made his way to one of the halls he heard about. Didn’t really pay attention to what kind of games this one had, wasn’t here to play. Well, at least not like that. He was here to throw some chips in. Get a stake in the game. You know.  His nose caught a whiff of smoke and the burning end of a cigarette steered his attention to a figure off to the side. His low-light vision hadn’t kicked in yet but from what he could make out it was nice-looking suit. Tall, though. Why was everyone so tall here? He thought he got used to it but no, his new mark looked like door frames would be a tight fit. Whatever.

Redd strolled up casual, stopping a respectful three feet away. He carefully aligned himself to the smoker, keeping to the side and facing the same direction. The fox stuck to glances, never staring too long. When he spoke his voice is devoid of his characteristic cheery veneer. “Any luck for you tonight?”

Redd lets out a chuckle at the pleasant surprise. “So does this mean you’re buying? If ya need an occasion it’s one of my cousins’ birthday today.”

[decantress]

“Is that how this works now? Sure I’ll buy. Unless… you wouldn’t happen to be lying about that cousin of yours, would you, mister fox man?”

[gingkoapron]

“I would never lie about my cousins! Sure, I got a lot of cousins but each and every one has a spot in ol’ Redd’s heart.”

The condo Redd was hooked up with wasn’t bad he had to admit, but he still wasn't up set on staying. He had to find his trawler, get his stuff back. Get his phone back. Sure, the screen had a crack in it but it served him well and had some pretty important contacts. Real handy people to know, folks you can’t just find if you went looking. Yeah, his phone wasn't pretty but this fancy one they gave him didn’t even have wifi. What’s up with that. Asking around got him heading into someplace called Golden Ward. Apparently this island was drawn up into quarters? Lucky for him Archimedes was right next to the place. Some folks cautioned him about being out after dark in that ward. The kind of cautioning that made his ears perk up. Guess no matter how fancy looking you make your city some things never change.

Walking normally wasn’t an issue for the traveling merchant but here in Radiale everything was too big. His stride just didn’t cover as much ground here. The proportions were all wrong. He wasn’t really ever the tallest animal in the room but this was something else. The afternoon sun reflecting off the shining buildings set him to squint as he looked about Golden Ward. Better make sure he’s heading in the right direction here. Better find a local to get friendly with. His gaze flicked from shopfront to shopfront, as curious to the business to be had as he was any good marks. An antique store caught his eye. Some giant in a hat was staring real intently into the window. Maybe ol’ Redd could bag a customer and make sure he was heading to the harbor!

At four feet the fox was absolutely dwarfed by the stranger he stepped up to but that wasn’t gonna stop him. Without skipping a beat he put on a relaxed smile and piped in cheerily. “See anything good?”

[gingkoapron]

[Okey doke let’s get this moving. Starter call for ol’ Redd capping at 3, just go ahead and give this post a like if you’re interested. If you wanna plot you can hit me up in dms! For better or worse he’s not in full on scam mode yet cuz he’s still sorting this whole Isola thing out.]
