HARGEON TEA PARTY
Whether he knew if the curiosity was genuine or not, the old man found her actions entertaining. He chuckled softly and then coughed, clearing his throat. He reached into a pocket and produced two wrapped sugary sweet cough drops. He politely offered one to Nana before partaking in the second one himself. he knew the importance of being a gentleman and having manners. he prided himself on his actions and character, even if his dealings were less than lawful. "Oh don't worry. You have time to prepare for the job I wish you to do. The ships won't be arriving until earlier tomorrow morning." Nana would politely receive the offered treat. She unwrapped it as the man spoke. She sniffed it and then licked it just to be doubly certain that it wasn't a trap. This man beside her as anything but a lawful citizen. he was a black-market dealer and skimmed commerce jobs. Bribes, blackmail.. you name it. Simply trusting sweets from him would be a mistake- granted, Nana was here on his behest to complete a request of his. By his wording. She could tell that this was more than business. It was personal. WC-196/1,500

No doubt he already had plans to recover the assets of those ships- whether through piracy or buying them cheap before the goods spoiled. He was a well connected and informed man. One of the reasons Nana had decided to accept this quest was for that very reason. "Once this transaction is complete to your satisfaction, I want part of my payment to be the information about Blue Pegasus' recent activities." Nana would say, revealing her hand to Reagan.

HARGEON TEA PARTY
No sooner had the words partially left the elder man's mouth however, that Nana reached up and drew her daggers from their magical space. Reagan flinched, terrified that Nana would silence him to prevent loose ends. before he could even cry out a warning, Nana's dagger rushed forward and across her own ribcabe. She drew a small line of blood for Reagan to see. It confused and dumbfounded the man so completely that he lost his voice. WC-193/1,500

HARGEON TEA PARTY
As if the tense situation moments ago had never happened. The daggers disappeared from Nana's hands and her stern expression softened. Her venomous voice returned to a more pleasant tone and her body language suggested that she was cheerful. She leaned over and patted Reagan on the shoulder as if to console his old but fast beating heart. "As far as those ships you are concerned about... You'll get your wish. They won't take more than a few steps onto the docks before they are disgusted with selling any tea to the city of Hargeon." She giggled, realizing something. "Why... I do believe everyone will find a shortage of tea. Except for you Mr. Reagan." she winked at the elder man. Which elicited a hearty laugh from the man and melted his uneasiness. This daemon girl may have a few screws loose, but he could tell that she had a sharp mind. If only Reagan's oldest son had half of Nana's wits, he would feel secure in entrusting the business to his son and retiring to a luxurious life. WC-179/1,500

HARGEON TEA PARTY
Satisfied with the deal, Nana and the old man would part ways- separately and at separate times to avoid being suspicious or connected. Yes Nana would use the man's information to wreak havoc on Blue Pegasus, but she had no intention of revealing him as her informant. Even on the chance of death. Blue Pegasus would be the ones to pay the price. Their blood would be the river to carry Odin's soul to the after life, or hell- whichever he preferred or believed in. That part mattered little to Nana. She would return her mind back to the present. Quite some time had transpired during the discussion with Reagan Hullston. He was a shrewd business man. Nana had actually been somewhat surprised that he had the gall to weigh her guild's worth right in front of her... and easily within reach! She had corrected his flawed scale however and now he saw there was much more worth in backing Eternal Nightmare. The worth was a weight in more than jewels- for how could one quantify one's very soul? Nana wasn't too certain, but she would have relished the idea of Reagan trying that very thing. She would have gladly been his final saleswoman. WC-204/1,500

The next few hours would be Nana's busiest yet. She had to stay up late and monitor the docks. She paid attention to every little detail, especially involving the guards and their interaction with the local citizens. It would be some time until Nana got a sense of the surroundings and the energy the people of Hargeon gave off. Their vibe was too cheerful for her, but she had managed to snag several key points that she could use. Information was more useful than a handful of jewels. Case in point, when Nana observed from a distance- one of the guard's replacing the night shift... had brought his little girl and wife to see him off to work. Nana grinned to herself and slowly approached the man as soon as his small budding family departed. He was the newly appointed head officer in charge of the docks' security. With so much power, he had revealed his weakness so easily and carelessly. WC-161/1,500

HARGEON TEA PARTY
It hadn't taken Nana long to get to work on 'convincing' the young man. he hadn't even introduced himself to the men he would soon be in charge of. First, he needed a smoke at the docks to calm his nerves. ordering other law enforcement around was a stressful job and he wasn't really that much of a man with a backbone. he would have to take it until his new men trusted him. He wouldn't be allowed that opportunity, nor the years to follow in which he grinded out a living for his small family. First and foremost, Nana would approach him in a harmless manner and stand beside him on the docks away from any curious eyes. The man had chosen a secluded spot so no one else could see his unsteady nerves. Thus he was startled when a sultry dressed woman wearing a mask waltzed up to him and stood close to his right side.

"Got a smoke?" Nana would say as she slowly reached up and removed her mask for the man to see her face. His mouth dropped to the floor for a moment as he admired the gorgeous view. The fact that she was masked had alarmed him at first- but subconsciously he lowered his guard as she asked him for a personal favor of a cigarette and then proceeded to remove her mask. That gave the man a sense of power... as well as a couple other sensation from being so close to the beautiful woman. This man was lucky- or rather... Too lucky. Too much luck tended to turn into bad luck. Few living beings had ever seen beneath Nana's mask. this man was probably the first human she had shown her true face to in many years. Since her adoption into Eternal Nightmare even. This officer had used up all the luck left in his life to see such a rare sight.... And now, his luck had run out. WC-170/1,500

HARGEON TEA PARTY
Why this man thought he had any chance with Nana, was a mystery. A mystery that would disappear along with him. "Sure miss! What's your name anyways?" he said, moving slightly closer as he retrieved his pack of cigarettes and offered one to Nana. She would move closer as well, their shoulders nearly touching now. She would put the bud of the cigarette to her lips and purse them as she leaned into the man slightly as he pulled out his lighter. A soft breeze blew them, encouraging the man to use his other free had to cover the opposite side of the cigarette so that he could light the woman's gift. Both of his hands were now fully engaged, but Nana had two free hands to do with whatever she pleased. As the man flipped the lighter's wick and a flame was produced, the early morning darkness was illuminated in the area between the two 'humans' The man's face was that of cheer and slight interest as his eyes danced over her mature form. His smile would fade however as his blood ran cold and to a stop- just as his heart stopped pumping too. WC-196/1,500

HARGEON TEA PARTY
The reason for his blood turning cold and his heartbeat ceasing was not because of the psychotic smile that the lighter's illuminated upon her face. No. That was an afterthought and likely the last- like... why was she smiling? as his consciousness faded into the blackness of eternal slumber. Nana's free hands had found their way to his neatly tucked shirt that his wife had ironed and prepared for his big first day at work. Nana could even still smell her perfume as her fingers quickly and deftly found the buttons of his shirt and slipped in between. One of her daggers had magically appeared in her hand just as the man had lit his lighter. A quick single and brutal thrust and the cold steel of her dagger had bit deep into the man's heart. The coldness of her steel spread through his body until his blood stopped flowing due to his heart being pierced. WC-156/1,500

His body would stiffen and then go limp in her arms as she supported his weight. If anyone had seen them, they would quickly assume it was a couple having a private moment. Once Nana was certain that no one was watching, she would have her dagger disappear and she would begin to quickly undress the man before his blood spilled to his uniform. With the man's uniform taken off his corpse, she would roll his naked body off the docks and into the deep black water's of the early morning. She had tied a rock to his foot- the sole purpose was to sink his body so that it didn't float up somewhere else anytime soon. She would proceed to de-robe herself, removing all of her clothing until she was naked by the docks as well. if anyone saw her right then, they would assume she was just a weirdo trying to bathe by the docks. Perhaps from a scandalous evening with a lover or something. WC-167/1,500

Quickly she would redress in the man's officer uniform. The final touches of her uniform would be her mask of course- although somewhat strange and exotic, it was part of Nana's identity. These men she would be working with would see her face otherwise. It would be too much effort to individually find and kill them. That would bring all kinds of trouble on her heels. As opposed to a single new boss who the workers knew nothing about- probably. With her disguise in place, she would return near the entrance of the docks along with the papers the dead man had on him. They were his orders and other documents to give him his official authority as the boss of the docks' in-processing methods. His word was law... well, now Nana's word of course. This would be an easy task, but of course she was going to enjoy it way more than necessary! WC-154/1,500

Despite her mask, she looked the part. Even that didn't seem to phase the authorities as she walked up and presented her paperwork to them. They saluted her, skimmed the paperwork and offering her a warm welcome to the new position. She took it all in stride and pushed the flow of the situation into her favor. She had just gotten everything the way she wanted when two ships appeared over the horizon and swiftly cut the waters as they made their way into the port to dock. Nana frowned for theatrics- subtly indicating that something was wrong. "Don't let those men off those ships!" she would bark the order to the men under her command. The men were surprised that she was so demanding all of a sudden and the urgency in her voice urged the men into action without question. "Bring me the captain of this ship." she would demand.

It only took her men a few minutes to locate the captain. He was already livid that his men were barred from disembarking their ship to unload the tea. "What's the meaning of this!? What's the problem officer!?" yelled the captain as he was led down the plank and onto the dock. Nana wouldn't flinch or blink as she stared the man down. He was trying to intimidate her. He was barking at the wrong person. She glanced to the men under her command. They looked somewhat confused and also concerned. She outstretched her hand as if it was natural. "Bring me his documentation." she would order. "The rest of you go make sure no one gets off and nothing is unloaded from these two ships." she would command and away the men went to bar entrance, "What's the rub, lassy? Me documents are true and approved already!" said the captain, to which Nana just raised an eyebrow and looked at doubtfully. WC-162/1,500

Nana counted several seconds as she flipped through the captain's documents and then compared them to her own documents. She tapped her fingers and then looked back at the captain. "Your ships aren't scheduled for docking. Did you know there are heavy fines for docking and trying to unload goods that haven't been searched and approved yet?" she said in the most convincing way. The captain's face blanched at the implications. Not only couldn't he unload his men or merchandise, but he was being fined as well! His pale face quickly turned red at realizing he could lose much more than he was supposed to gain after their long journey by sea. Not only did he need to make a profit off this tea, but he also had to pay his crew or risk a mutiny. His eyes widened in rage and he began to open his mouth to try intimidation again. The look Nana gave him was more hostile than he had ever felt in his life. He quickly quieted and rethought how best to handle the situation. WC-179/1,500

The captain breathed deeply to calm his anger. He removed his captain's hat and held it to his chest out of respect for the lady before him. He bit his tongue ion trying to speak anything but curses. "What might we do to fix this issue, officer?" he said, asking her for advice. Nana thought for a minute, playing both the thoughtful authority, but also coming up with a good excuse to board the ship to cause more damage. "Well. I'm here, so you're in luck. I happen to be the new chief at the docks and only I can approve your cargo.." she would say and the man's face would genuinely brighten at the idea of hope. "I will have to inspect your merchandise first however. Instruct your men to all come to the top deck and await for my inspection." she would say and then walk away, not allowing the captain any room for disagreeing. WC-157/1,500

With no options left, the captain sighed and went about his duty. He ordered his men all above and on the top deck to stand by idly while Nana performed her inspection. She boarded the ship with two of her men. "No one is to leave the ship and no one is to interfere with my inspection." she would instruct the two men again- to which they nodded their heads vigorously. As she stomped off and down into the cargo hold, the two on duty authorities looked at each other but didn't speak out loud. Their eyes said 'Our new boss is a firecracker!' Down below deck, Nana would walk around for several minutes. She compared some of the notes. She removed a few shipping labels. She discarded some of the captain's own paperwork. Proving what was here, was true would be difficult if his labels came into question and his paperwork was lacking. Satisfied with her preparations, she grabbed one of the barrels of tea and hoisted it up to the top deck. To the captain's horror, she opened the lid and dumped its contents directly into the sea. "What are ye doin!? That's me merchandise!" exclaimed the captain, his face growing red again and his men becoming impatient. WC-210/1,500

The captain had had enough. He stomped passed the two guards who tried to stop him from interfering with Nana's work, but the captain's men pushed them aside and allow their captain to go towards the woman. The man walked right up to Nana and went to grab the paperwork from her hands. She turned it around on him and moved her arm into his grasping hand. Without a moment's hesitation, her leg came underneath the captain's legs and kicked him squarely between the legs. The man crumpled to the hard wooden deck, gasping for air. Every other single man on the deck made a barely audible 'ooof' sound and flinched backwards. Even her guards. The captain had lost all of his breathe and his strength as he fell and Nana placed her right foot onto his head and pressed down. He squirmed but was unable to escape her unwarranted strength. "You botch your paperwork. Your labels are mismatched and you dare to sneak drugs into this harbor!" she shouted, loud enough for her men on the second ship to hear. WC-181/1,500

Some of the containers in the cargo hold had even been empty- a small detail that Nana would play in a big way. She brought another accusation to the table as she pressed down again with her foot, making the captain beg to be released. "Where have your crew hid the slaves? I saw empty containers in there big enough for humans!" she said and her guards' eyes widened, looking back at the sailors that had just manhandled them. They had plenty of reason to dislike the sailors just from that, but all these accusations made the captain and his crew look like pure criminals charading as honest traders. It was easy to twist information when you held all of the information. The fact that the captain had given her his documents, had given Nana all of the power she needed to play this in whatever way she deemed best. "You are fortunate I left you off with just stomping on your face after you tried to lay hands on an officer of the law. Let alone your men impeded my men from performing their duties! I want you and your crew gone from this harbor and never show yourselves again in Hargeon!" she would exclaim and then release the captain's face from under her foot and stomp off the ship, back to the docks.

Her job was done. She excused herself from her men and entered the tower as she watched over the men from above. It hadn't been but a few minutes before Reagan showed himself and boarded the captain's ship and began negotiations with the captain and his crew. Clearly they were vexed at the situation, but they all had bills to pay and no jewels to make after their long trip. Secretly they blamed the captain for it seemed to be his fault for blundering the paperwork. meanwhile the captain secretly blamed his men. The shipping labels were mixed up- no wonder the woman had called them suspicious. Still- he couldn't help but wonder about the drugs part. Arguing was beyond them now, as he and his men had technically assaulted the authorities of the port. With a resigned expression, the captain nodded his head repeatedly to whatever Reagan was telling him. Nana couldn't hear it of course, but she had a good enough guess at the direction of their conversation. She chuckled. WC-172/1,500
