Big SeXXXy was hard at work: his feet were up on the table, his posture was well reclined in the soft leather easy chair, and there was a half empty bottle of expensive scotch nearby. Sometimes it's just too SWEEEET being the Don Mega.


A flip of his hair and he looked up to the voice plodding its way in. "Yeah, we're in here. What the hell you got? You from the Kung Pao Pizza joint? Come the f*ck in, brothah!" Only a slight move, more like a shift in the chair as he turned to see Tobias cowering into the room.

Tobi just stared at the other two men mutely for just a few minutes. This was not what he had expected at all. He finally managed to stammer out a reply after Brian addressed him directly

"Yeah, I'm Tobi, But I didn't bring Pizza, was I supposed to?" Another slightly befuddled look around. "I can call over to the Alley Cat and get some delivered..."

"Can't he?" asks one Keaton J. Fox, cigarette hanging from his lower lip, a six pack of Corona in hand. He pushes brown locks back with a thumb to get a better look and adjust to the change in lighting as he comes inside. "Cool if I smoke in here?" He taps the end of the cigarette, and then turns to look at Tobi. " 'Sup. I'm Keaton." He switches the Coronas to his left hand, and offers his right to Tobi.

Tobi was lost, he tried to answer the questions one at a time, shaking hands with Keaton as he answered Scorp "I married Whisper not long ago, and for me, the Cat delivers 24/7, mother owns the place."

Then looking at Brian "Actually I think Kina bought Jewell out recently, some sort of dispute about the books."

And then an all around glance, "So what all am I ordering, and how many girls am I asking to deliver it?"

A slow nod, "yeah, she wants to be a sister like her mother was. But she's not the only girl I have in their ranks. My baby sister left for the island not too long ago."

Tobi looked about as tense as a cat can get, not sure that they would want him here seeing as Whisper was not a full Sister yet. Trying to hide the fact that he was shaking just a bit and completely out of his element here he stated slowly "Ravenlock suggested I should come."

Keaton gets a very curious look. "The hottest act? I don't know about that, you have some competition down at the club. We have a guy by the name of Darkkar there, draws in huge crowds when he and his dancer perform."

A tiny wisp of flame was detached, from the end of Keaton's smoke. "Going to borrow that a moment. Got to get the pizza order off before Mellani gets off for the day, she gets cranky as all get out when she has to get up for a large special order from me after hours."

The flame skittered off much like a little lizard into the shadows.

The Big Man was reclining comfortably, looking every bit like the pimp he was. His shined, black boots were crossed at the ankle and placed on the marble coffee table in front of him as he enjoyed his favorite brandy. As he puffed on a fat cigar and listened to Keaton and B-Man tease the naive Tobi, Scorp couldn't help but smirk. These guys were alright.

Upon hearing Keaton's remarks, Big Sexxxy looked over to him and nodded strongly "It's not bad K-Fox. Not bad at all. I mean, besides the psycho problem you're having here at the moment, it's not entirely different from home in MC. One of my boys, Dirty Sanchez runs The Blue over in the West End of town...our type of Metro business. Real gangster sh-t."

The Don Mega was genuinely interested in these fellow guys who were now Scathachian property, just as he was. Funny how that sh-t happens? Eh, it's usually better to ride these things and not to wrestle with them. Although, doing both was what he personally preferred when alone with Issy.

Another deep puff on that expensive cigar as Scorp looked Keaton up and down, "So what's your deal bro? I know you have that crazy hot Trixie as your woman, but what really gets you flying besides your music? What really defines the ball breakin', badass playa dubbed K-Fox??"

Keaton grins at Scorp around his cigarette, and gives him a little wink: "Badass, huh? Well, when I'm not kicking ass and taking names..." He chuckles, and shakes his head. "Really, it's just music and slinging drinks. It's all peace and love for me, up 'til the moment someone raises hell in the Red Dragon." He leans over a little. "See, under the bar, there's this aluminum bat I've named -- "

He's cut short when Baker boots open the door, and watches him with a curious grin. " 'Sup, man. Hey, ah -- jog my memory -- which of the very fine Sisters are you with?"

Scorp slowly nodded as Keaton answered his question. K-Fox was alright. There was a slow turn of his head to the door as Baker's loud entrance shot through the room. The Big Man watched with veiled amusement as he strolled in and announced that he was in the fray of these lucky and unique (or some could argue cursed) individuals. Baker's entrance, however, was not nearly as hilarious as who he said he was laying pipe to.

Yep, this guy was certifiably nuts. He was claiming big Phin. Now, Scorp knew quite a few of these Scathachian ladies, and hell he always loved the infamous "Sister Swagger". But good ole Delphinea...that was another story entirely.

Was this the same Delphinea who once boasted that "The great goddess made men simply to give women practice at killing beasts..."? Was it the same Delphinea who he had once seen snap a gentleman's arm when he asked her to dance? And could this be the same arrogant Delphinea who once boasted having more girlfriends in a single month than he had? Hmmm. The Don Mega never did get over that last one!

Well, this cat was definitely up to something. The Don Mega puffed on his fat cigar nonchalantly while he watched him take a seat. Then, Scorp addressed this "new guy": "Indeed, don't you worry about that brother. There's plenty more ale coming. Plenty more brandy...scotch...whiskey....just name your pain. We aim to please."

Scorp took a solid hit from his brandy as he set his cigar down with a gloved hand. After he tossed a fresh cigar to Baker, he casually continued, "So ah, Baker right? Do tell me bro....what voodoo did you conjure or which devil did you match wits with in order to lure big Phin into your charming company? There are many inquiring minds that would love to know..."

"Hey, bro, I don't mean to step up in your business or anything, but you gotta watch it when said 'petals' can twist your nuts off without a second thought," the Big Man lifted his cigar and expelled a thick twist of sweet smelling cherry smoke. "You know what I mean? Phin is something of a, well, something of a ladies' lady, yeah? Least that's what Iss has always told me. Course, how could anyone not be a lily-licker around I-Maxxx, huh?"

Another smirk, "You picked a hell of a tree to have your dog bark up there, boy." Still, Scorp chuckled, he thought Baker was a little "off," but had great potential to be something of a crack up. Gods knew there were not enough clowns around to make people laugh as of late. "Course, I could be just blowin' smoke up your a$$," another expulsion of cigar smoke as he grinned, "See what K-Fox here says."

And with that, Scorp expertly handed the buck to Keaton. Big Sexxxy settled back in his comfortable seat and grinned at the two, his cigar lightly held in between his pearly whites.
