Even with the entity dressed fairly mundane today, the presence she has was incredibly real.
The air tightens, dust moves up and winds grow silent.
It was a feeling you never had from the other entity you've recently encountered in person before.
This one could genuinely dust you so decisively that you'd be lost to time.
Should you really even be here-
Diver: Savvy.
Savvy: Y-yeah?
Diver: Want you to keep watch of the alternate exit, be ready to tail her if we aren't able to make proper contact while she's there. If
we know her daily route-
Romero: Don't mean to be rude or anything but uh-
Diver: Is there a concern?
Romero: I'm just wondering why we can't just like, talk to her?
Diver: At her level of reputation-
Roost: At her level of reputation she expects a little more than cheap deception as a means.
Diver: She's deeply associated with the concept of natural death, I don't want to risk someone just-
Romero: I'm going in.
Roost: I'll come with you, middleman if I must.
Diver: H-hey-!
Romero: Savvy, gonna need a quick favor.
Savvy: Sup?
Romero: Stay within sightlines for me. Parking lot, visible through the window at all times. Easy enough?
Savvy: Yeah, alright.
Diver: Despina?!
Despina: This one's a bit of a problem if we tick her off, go with Romero's gameplan.
Diver: ..Just be ready to step in if things get ugly.
Despina: Obviously. Savvy?
Savvy: On my way!
With a little finesse you scaled down the building to get to the vantage point with complete ease. Romero waved at you with his free arm, Roost having clung on tight to the other.
Romero: Stay outside the shop, clear view at all times.
Savvy: Yeah, okay.. is that really it though? Like-
Romero: Yeah, I'll try to keep it quick.
He didn't give you the chance to respond before walking straight in.
He blended in surprisingly fine from what you could tell, grabbing a tray to scoop up a good dozen pieces of bread, small talking with the owner and getting a smile out of him.
Diver: ...He turned off his comms.
Despina: Classic gambit for one of Styx's guys, I wouldn't worry too much.
Diver:.. You really been dealing with this for year?
Despina: Mm. Does good work but if I have to sign him full time I'm gonna lose about a decade of my lifespan to stress. Ferrymen are
reckless and he's the best and worst flavor you can find.
Savvy: What.. exactly does that all mean anyway? Like I know it's a word that gets used for entity clients but-
Despina: Entity gauge different types of personality types when they make contracts. Diver is a champion category, potential to make big
waves within a world and its existing systems. Type of person who easily thrives in the now. Me and Romero are the opposite, Ferryman have the potential to sunset a world that needs a mercy kill
Diver: Walking demolition crew, tend to keep tabs on folks like him just as much as the entity themselves.
Despina: People like him and myself are unstable to keep on a entity's payroll, as long as he's tied to one of the most dangerous ones
around I'm a little iffy on giving him fulltime.

[Image Description: A tall, horned female entity of abstract nature with a large brimmed pointed hat and a sleeved dress stands back against a window, curtains around her. The dress is sparkling.]
The entity was visible, standing in front of the window and talking to someone. You couldn't make out anything else behind her, curtains that weren't around before now obscuring most of the sights.
Diver: He's pretty calm by usual standards though.
Despina: Unprecedented.
Diver: Gotta wonder what changed with Mr. Styx.
Despina: Therapy, hormones, hard to really say.
Savvy: Hormones?
Despina: Lots of interesting historical readings, I'll put it like that.
Diver: Maybe we should ask Romero directly.. would that be rude?
Savvy:...Why not just ask Styx?
Diver: Don't think I want my first question to be "hey, did hrt save you?"
Despina: Same.
Savvy:.. Wait have ya'll never even met-
The little chime of the bakery's door rang as Romero stepped out.
Romero: She wants to meet you proper, you game for that?
Savvy: Me?
Romero: Yeah, she's curious about you. You're not already signed up long term with anyone, yeah?
Savvy: Don't think so-
Despina: Wait what is he-
Diver: Ask him what he means-
Savvy: Are you asking me to sign with her?
Romero: Can't speak for her but uh, that's between you and her. Wants to talk to you and uh.. Roost already volunteered to help you navigate the domain.
Savvy: I can hear her out, sure-
Despina: Roost?! Why him over-
Savvy: So uh quick question, why Roost?
Romero: Dunno, usually I'd go but he seems to know her already so.. yeah.
Despina: That doesn't feel right...
Diver: Yeah I'm a little worried about that but.. I dunno, no way was planned in advance.
Despina: Planned?
Diver: Entity scam, one leads you to another and both effectively pressure you into a deal. But... they're both already earthbound. Couldn't have known what today's plan is in advance either. So-
Despina: Play it by ear then, if anything feels wrong-
Diver: If they wanted someone dead, they'd be dead.. your call Sav'.
Savvy: I'm set.
Romero stepped aside with a little nod.
Romero: Good luck dude.
