Tales from Underway

[Rayleonarde]

The individual cleared his throat, and spoke. "Hello sir, w-we're looking for-" he was cut off by a voice coming from the middle of his coat. "Reinforcements! We're getting swamped." The individual's face contorted into a grimace, as he looked down. "Shut-up Dum! We're tryin' 'ta be incognito." The individual then looked to Alka. "I-It's us...Dee and Dum-" Dum chimed in, "the police chiefs." Dee sighed, and mopped his brow. "W-We can't sustain this fight, please-" Dum again chimed in. "Put the word out, we need help."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka cocked an eyebrow. "Odd place to come looking for assistance officer. We mostly just get the type of people who'd up and kill you if they knew who you were. That, or beating the living tar out of you. Depends how much they've had to drink. Speaking of which, can I get you anything?" He pulled out a small shot glass... for himself.

[Rayleonarde]

Dee and Dum both nodded, and spoke in unison. "Somethin' with a kick. Bootjack's Boot is usually our choice. Non-alcoholic, but s'got the same kick."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka stroked his chin, wondering if they had any. "Might have to go to the cellar to look for that one. I'll be back in a second." He pulled out a key and went through a staff only door, locking it from his side.

[Rocco Rex]

Having noticed the tails, when he went around one corner, he silently popped in between a dumpster and a wall out of sight and tossed a rock around the next corner to see just how dumb these tails were.

[Rayleonarde]

The tails fell for the trick, and followed the rock. After a few feet around the corner, they stopped and one spoke up. "Ach...He got away. We'd best head on back, boss' got a thing needs seein' to." The others nodded, and the would-be tails started away.

[Rocco Rex]

Cabur smiled as he heard them leave. It was his turn to tail them now, and he had the advantage of training. He followed them properly, and also shot a tiny tracking dart onto one of the guy's shoe, just in case.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

After a few minutes, Alka emerged from the cellar with a large bottle, locking the door behind him. "It's not exactly young, but it hasn't expired yet. Should be good." Walking over to the counter, he pulled out a beer glass and poured a full cup. "Not sure how much we're pricing this. I'll just say it's $8 cause it's non-alcoholic."

[Rayleonarde]

The police chiefs each set eight dollars on the counter, and looked up at Alka. Dum spoke before his brother could. "Another, please?"

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Alka cocked an eyebrow. "Forget that there are two of you." He pulls out another cup and pours it to the top. "Two erm... Whatever this is," he eyes the bottle as he says this, "Enjoy." The wolf pushes the cups in Dum and Dee's direction and pours himself a shot of whatever was under the counter, before quickly downing it and tensing up. "So.... You were saying you needed help?"

[Rayleonarde]

The police chiefs both downed their drinks in a single go, and Dee spoke up. "Yeah...we're pretty much sunk." Dum chimed in afterwards. "We don't have enough guys to cover the streets." They then asked in unison. "You know anyone that'd help?"

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

"Well... Not sure about prosecution or anything but..." Alka pulls out a shot glass smaller than his pinkie and sets it down, before taking 10 paces away from it, turning, pulling out his revolver and blasting it to pieces. "I'd be happy to lend a gun here and there. In the name of justice, that is. Not too bad of a shot, if I'd say so myself." The wolf grinned as he bowed

[Rayleonarde]

The chiefs looked at each other, and then Alka. "You're in. Ask your friends, too. But don't tell 'em we're lookin' for people."


Ray wandered into Alka's bar, and sat across the counter from the chiefs, staring at the wood-work.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

"My lips are sealed officers." Alka said as he walked over to the shattered pieces of glass and looked over at Ray. "Welcome. What can I get you tonight?" He called out as he began scooping up the various small shards

[Rayleonarde]

Ray thought a moment. "A diet soda, if you would."
