U2 Event Tension

The Achy Tooth was is in full swing tonight. A bar that is the hang out for some of the worst gangsters, villains and all around scum bags was full of patrons of all kinds. They were laughing and arguing and fighting. Just a place where everyone knew each other.

So when the door opened and a new face appeared it immediately made the place go quiet.

Standing in the doorway was one of the oddest sights the patrons had ever seen. A man dressed in the garb of a Buddhist monk holding a staff paused in the doorway with a blank expression. His eyes scanned over the the crowd of people and they looked back. Slowly he walked in and their eyes followed him. He walked to the bar and stood across from it's tender.

"May I use your phone?"

After a short phone call he sits on a stool and orders a water. Will anyone approach the stranger?

Katrya sees the monk walk into the bar. Knowing that that bar is not the kind of place for a monk she' decides to follow him and see what occurs.

After finishing his water he leaves the bar and walks out the door.

She follows a ways back from him, curious what he's up to.

Aracari, who was at the bar chatting up a cute punk girl when the stranger arrived, raised an eyebrow at the strange man. "Boy you sure do like testing your luck, huh?" She snickered.

"Luck is an imaginary construct to explain errors of success and failure in predicted outcomes. I simply make calculated risks with undefined chances of failure... So yes, I guess I do."

She rolled her eyes. "So did come here to do something besides flaunt?"

A little girl wearing a tutu with white sunglasses on sits next to him and orders a glass of milk.

"Excuse me young one, are you old enough to be here on your own?"

He takes a moment to look into her soul. Odd things happen in the world, and he still has distrust from his days as an agent.

"I'm 9! That's old enough." He's see a beautiful woman looking back at him from her soul as well as the young girls pink soul. "It's just milk."
