"CIA? What the hell is that?" William shrugs. "Ah, well. Bianca, go."

"A five." She sets it down and looks to Prisha.

Ian raised an eyebrow. "The CIA? What type of world are you from? I doubt you would get recruited at your age. At least, not 'legally'." He need to find out more of his heist mates, just in case one of them run away again. Prisha was on his second chance. The third time—off with his neck.

William flips over the cards. "Thought you looked nervous. Afraid you'll get punished for telling us about the CIA?"

"CIA." Bianca frowns. "The 'A' must mean 'agency,' and—"

For Ian, Prisha was a hard nut to crack. He gave off conflicting signals in his body language that neither leaned towards lying and telling the truth. Considering the whole CIA notion came from nowhere, he was tentative about it. For now, he kept the "slip" in his mental file.

"Had any revisions been made to the plan?" Ian asked.

How the fuck has this kid succeeded at all?

If you can't show any shred of etiquette or... diplomacy, even, few are going to care about your skills, assuming you even have skills.

He'd heard of the name 'Occult Society' before throught his years of work, but few competent organizations would put any stock into a kid this unstable. There's... a reason why reasonably intelligent, mentally stable adults are hired over immature kids, and...

Why?

Is he deluded? Mentally ill? Watch too much anime? What's his problem?

Given that he supposedly killed his own family, his mental health can't be all that good. He belongs in a psychiatric hospital with Elijah Cline, who's only moderately more competent than... Prisha.

...Wasn't there some girl in his algebra class named Prisha, or something?*

Shinji eagerly- but subtly -listened to the players drill the kid. Maybe thing would start to make sense... or not.

In the meantime, some of the stuff that Alice bought began to make sense to Daisuke. Get the janitors to come into closed-off areas, a lighter that could burn someone's face off... cool!

Oh, is that Ian?

"Hi, Ian. Alice bought lots of weird things."

We're on sevens, right?

"CIA is just three letters out of twenty-six. No more, no less. One seven." Cain placed his card down. One, two, three, four... queen. Shit.

Cain looked down at his own hand. Seven certainly hadn't been his lucky number. Next hand was bullshittin' hour. Come on Ol' Scratch, help a poor sinner out with that silver tongue of yours. Cain thought sourly.

"So, been meanin' to ask. Where'd you get the arm, uhh..."

Bianca and William know how to use guns now because I revamped the workings of my universe.

"Bianca," she says. "A really eccentric mechanic gave it to me because mine got ripped off. The internals get upgraded every once in a while, but it's still a bitch. If it weren't for the fact that Marianne lives inside it I'd have torn it off from frustration. And it's not hard to shoot a gun with my left hand."

William scratches his stubble. He needs to find a shaving razor somewhere before Bianca starts complaining. "So, what do you do? Sabotage a rival organization? Do good for the world? Evil?" He puts down an eight.

"A soul in the arm, huh? Not surprised. Must've called on some pretty might gods to make that happen." Cain took a sip from his bottle. He didn't mind it warm. In his line of work, you got used to it.

"As for me, I travel. Park ass wherever I can and take a job whenever I can. In case you ever wondered, murder does pay. Handsomely. Just don't piss off anyone with a lot of political backing."

He stared and pondered his hand, rehearsing his lines. Two queens. Nothing audacious, just two queens. Fuck...

"Although, I must admit a fair bit of my annual income I get from 'donations'." Cain airquoted "donations". Not a subtle euphemism by any means, but Cain was not a subtle man. "Seems to me like I end up killing more mercs than marks. Bounty hunters mostly. Cocky, young, feeling high as a kite, like they own the world. And hot damn did ma and pa line their pockets with cash."

"Ah. I've met quite a few people like that. I must say, if you're as mentally unstable as the rest of them, you hide it a bit better." William tries not to think, That's me in ten years. "What about you, Prishy? What are you up to most days?"

No nines. Bianca puts down one of her three fours and hopes no one will notice. "Marianne isn't a soul. That lives inside a metal chicken. Marianne is a goddess."

Cain whistled. "You pulled a god down to earth, eh? Must've taken a lot of effort. Even the half-assed gods put up quite a fight when you try to mess with 'em like that."

Turning to face William, he said, "I've got no intention of hiding what I am. People can think I'm unstable or evil or corrupt because I kill for money. Power to them. But really, how are they any different? You ever hear the saying 'Death is the high price of living'? Way I see it, for everyone who profits, someone suffers. It's all a matter of resource distribution. Those fat, middle-aged accountants can accuse me all they like. Because for every pig-out they have at some five-star restaurant, some kid dies of starvation over in that piss-hole they call the third world. At least I look the people I kill in the eye."

"She was imprisoned by her sister. I freed her. She thinks this is repaying the favor. I don't always agree," Bianca says serenely.

William shrugs. "I've been too busy trying not to fuck up my life to think about deep shit like that. It sounds deep to me, anyway. Like I said, never really tried."

"A god owing a mortal a favor. Now that's one for the books." Cain laughed.

He took a quick glance over at Prisha. Kid seemed jumpier than a chihuahua jacked up on coke. "So, what do you really do for a living, kid? Drug dealer?"

William's eyebrows go up so high that they disappear in his untidy hair. "Effing hell," he says, adjusting his glasses. "Where are your parents? Or did you just spring out of the devil's greasy—"

"William, don't go there."

"Uh huh. Yeah, definitely a drug dealer."

Cain kept note of Prisha. Terrible liar, probably from the wrong side of life at some point. He could have had a hidden agenda, but he wasn't doing a very good job of keeping much of anything else hidden, so Cain doubted it.

There's a freaking siren blaring behind my house. I can't even see it, and it sounds like the panic alarm on my dad's police cruiser... which I'm sure isn't at fault, otherwise I would've woken up my dad already to turn it off.

"They sound like wonderful, loving parents." Shinji said flatly.

"It explains a lot..." Daisuke added under his breath, pouting with his arms crossed.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

"Sure. Sure." William massages his temples. "You suck at lying, by the way."

"You weren't supposed to let him know that yet," Bianca says.

"That's just how you do things, honey. I prefer being tactlessly blunt."

I'll just assume the game moved forward and skip to queens. I need to sleep sometime soon after all :P

"Hey! Two queens." Cain tugged on a 5 and an 8. The next milisecond was crucial. Cain's voice had been just flat enough to be ambiguous, but if he set his cards down too quickly, his lie would be obvious. Too slow, and it'd look suspicious. Fuck a duck, he was not drunk enough for this. He slapped down the two "queens" and withdrew in what he hoped looked like a calm and orderly fashion.

Trying to draw attention from his massive load of bullshit, Cain hurriedly tried to move the game along. "Your move."

Alice took some time to consider Prisha. Tapping her chin, she said, "CIA seems improbable. They orefer mental health to arcane power. Hmm... you do have a lot of power, though. Nobody'd dare let you run independent. So if I had to guess, I'd say there's more than a grain of truth to his claims. Probably part of some government organization, though they no doubt serve more as a babysitter, keeping him from using his powers willy-nilly or being discovered... wonder if they found him or made him."

Alice sighed. "Probably didn't have any choice in the matter. It was either that or lose your powers, wasn't it? Personally, I'm glad I chose the latter."

Alice is lying about ever having powers. In fact, you can pretty much guarantee that, like The Joker in The Dark Knight, anything she says about her backstory is a lie.
