Stop manipulating the booze and out it down on the counter before waddling up to the arrivals.

Ah, you've arrived, perfect! Don't worry, Pete, you'll have plenty of time to preach to them. If you'll follow me, please?

The DUNKER begins heading toward the bar again, with the intention of introducing them to his drunk wizard friends.

"You are in the possession of the gifts of God, I believe. You may have even touched one of the fingers of God, from the looks of you. The journey is one we all take, to find our way and prepare for the end times. And as to what I am hungry for, I would say revelation. What is your name, pilgrim?"
He doesn't look very trustworthy. Not to mention sane. Yet he seems to know things. A dangerous combination. I should be careful about what I say to him.
"My name is Eta. How did you gain that knowledge?" Eta said a bit defensively.

Still as irresponsible as when I met him. I'm surprised the hotel's security didn't hand him over to the police.
"Hello. I take it you managed to talk your way out of that misunderstanding with the hotel's security?"

What misunderstanding? he says, pausing.

((I'm pretty sure I just killed grammar somehow.))

"Well, the receptionist told me you were in the backroom and after what happened earlier I thought... You know what, never mind. Let's just go."
Eta follows THE DUNKER.

Eta follows THE DUNKER.

The three of you walk up to the rest of the people at the bar. The two girls are the first to notice your arrival, turning to face you.

"Hey, who are you two?" the pretty girl asks.

"Uh, I think they're Joanie's friends. Wasn't she waiting for them?" the taller one says.

"Hi, I'm Ivette! Pleased to meet you," Officer Rieux says oddly perkily, to which the two girls nod while sipping a drink each, and the other two people - Joan and Nigel, it seems, turn to look at you as well.

"Hey! Responsible lady! And responsible lady's friend! I think?" she says, rather terribly drunk from the looks of it.

"Hi!" Officer Rieux repeats, waving to Joan, who waves right back and laughs to herself.

"Hello," says the man, looking a bit miserable.

DUNKER nods.

So, we're all here? Good, let's go before the sobriety level drops any further.

"Go where?"

"Righting wrongs and investigating crimes, that's where! Let's move!"

"You still haven't paid for your drinks, I should note."

"Put it on our tabs! Wherever we're going, it's only going to take a couple hours, and then we'll be right back!"

"Hi everyone! I'm Eta. Where are we going?"

"To Lower Esplanade! There are crimes that need to be solved! I'll explain on the way!" Joan says, jumping off her stool, stumbling a little upon landing, then motioning with her hand for everyone to follow. Nigel finishes his drink, and so do the two other girls, and all of them step away from the bar as well.

"Ok..."
Not the reason I'm here, but this could be interesting.
"What do you say? Should we go with them?" she asked "Ivette" to ensure she had no problem with this.
Wordlessly offer to support Joan so that she can walk. While doing so, try to point my familiar mark at her without anyone noticing, to see if anything happens.

I'll pay for my drink before I go, though.

Pay for drink and accompany posse. To the suburbs or wherever we were going!

The familiar mark fails to react in any way. It also seems to have become less the glowing eye of before and more like a work of scarification, though it still moves, unsettlingly enough.

"Well, of course, Eta! Gosh, it'd be rude not to!"

"Great then. Let's go!"
Let's go!
"So, what are the rest of your names? I don't believe we've ever met before."

"So, what are the rest of your names? I don't believe we've ever met before."

The two girls are the first to reply, though you do have to confirm that it's them you're talking to.

"I'm Shauna. She's Raven. We're both friends of Joanie's. In a manner of speaking."

"Uh, yeah, that's right."

The ginger man is the next one to speak, although you do need to repeat the question to him before he hears.

"Me? I'm Nigel. You were Eta. And the other one's..." he speaks a little distantly.

"Ivette!"

"I see. I'm a friend of Joanie's, sort of."

Joanie, who's been listening, turns her head back to look at the rest of the group.

"Why does being my friend always come with a qualifier? It's a bit insulting, I tell you what!" she laughs.

Because people in your line of work need qualifiers, of course.
