[ well, at least that's confirmation he wasn't lying last time. six, though... six is tougher. if travis really does have some sort of power, he'll need it - the cat man is an unreadable wall. ]
Check fight rings in the Ruby Underground. He's made a name for himself. I believe he's undefeated so far.
Speaking of fights... You have some experience on that front, yes?
the fighting rings, huh? damn, that’s almost poetic. for years my whole schtick was killing other killers for an audience, so yeah, i know what im doing there.
you seeking six and haoyu out for a reason? or is this just curiosity? you know what they say happens to curious little kittens, satoko. 🐈
My, is that so? It seems as though the two of you have skillsets I can't hope to compare to.
[ just as she is the only one that can control time among their ranks. just as she is the only one with the ambition to reach out and grab for this idea. ]
I would propose we collaborate. Given the unique combination of skill and killing instinct each of you contains, the only real threats to your life, earnings, and well-being are the others in this group, yes? So why not ally now rather than waiting for conflict to arise? Unknown factors are unpleasant to deal with. Friends, on the other hand, are easy to keep watch on.
[satoko’s smart. she’s gotta be, if she’s proposing an alliance like this, particularly to three assassins— not a group that’s known for being especially generous with their intel.]
sounds nice and neat to me. but what’s in it for you?
[he’s no good at the business side of the killing game— just the lopping off heads— but he does know people never do shit for free. too bad he can’t run this whole deal by shinobu anymore, she’d know much better what to make of it all.]
Materially? I become exactly aware of when and where to gamble to turn a profit. And that's to say nothing of if we agree to share funds between us.
More importantly, though... I become aware of any below-the-table deals that might be struck. I learn exactly who to approach for any potentially unsavory business. And I stay on good terms with those I am least likely to be able to outsmart or outfight.
I thought as much myself. I'd originally thought I'd challenge him and see, but even I can acknowledge when a battle's already lost. As for Haoyu's loss, it's unfortunate, but it is what it is. The three of us should be more than capable to start, as long as Six can be convinced.
[ and she's more than capable of that, she believes. as for the rest of travis's message- ]
There's a pet shop in the Diamond district. Pawte Couture, I believe it is? Make sure you get the ones without gluten if you go. Miss Jeane's stomach is quite sensitive, you know.

money and the power of staying in the know, huh.

Please, do keep me updated.

haoyu's missing. he's either dead or gone home, his tag isn't on the net anymore. so that's one down.
i caught one of six's fights in the underground. he's the real deal. if i hadnt felt it, i wouldve seen it. he's good... worth our time for real.
[and a second, not-so-private text:]
