Adrian wraps the kaffiya around his head, tucking Ashi around his neck and under the cloth. "Well, now that this is out of the way. I am going to go grab the rest of my things from the Hijrah before the rains pick up again." He takes a quick gander to the window, its gray outside still, cold and dripping wet. "So if you will excuse me, I should be back within the hour." Adrian turns then, towards the door.

Ren waves at Adrian. "So you'll be going with us then?"

Adrian turns slightly to reply. "Yes, I don't see why not and in the meantime, I can also do a few performances. Extra money never hurt anyone. Anyway, I best not keep the good captain waiting."

::Back inside, Lillith is discussing her input judging from the last murder, and Adrian's last reading with the older members of the group, Kerion, Eva, Dante, and Kenny. Iole has been charged with keeping Oliver distracted, and Lillith refuses to acknowledge Ren in the discussion::
Okay, I'm not sure how many of you actually believe in tarot readings, but if you put Oliver's reading together with some evidence of the last murder, it makes perfect sense. I'd be willing to write off the last killing as a copycat, but... that letter was definitely from the Harvester himself. And the cards hinted that there may be more than one killer. And judging from the new one, this second killer might not be as experienced as the original. Maybe the Harvester took on an apprentice?

::Kerion nods at this:: "It's quite possible. In my line of work, I've seen killers take on a apprentice to continue on their work in the event the original is either captured or killed. That victim could of been either a test to see if he could handle killing or an initiation. Whatever it is, we might have to assume there's two killers out there now."

"Well I've thought of a plan now," Ren said. "but I'm not sure if you guys might like it."
"If ever that there's someone besides the two killers, a third party right, we might need to know who they are at least."

::Lillith rolls her eyes::
Brilliant strategy Napolean. If we had any other leads like that, don't you think we'd be following them? What makes you think there's a third party anyway?

"You know that harvester guy wouldn't just be doing that for nothing nor will he be able to do so many of those killing with out anyone behind him except his apprentice." Ren said but didn't lookback at Iole. "I'm not saying I'm sure but there is, probably."

"Ta King in Yellow!" Yells Oliver from another table. "Wha ta crazy lady said, 'aybe he ta third guy? Whoev'r he is." He fidgets a little, looking uncomfortable. "Jus say'in."

::Lillith pauses::
You know, in this rare moment, Ren might actually have a point. Maybe the Harvester is working for someone higher up, and if Oliver's right, then maybe this King in Yellow is the one. But... what reason would he have to show himself to Echidna and then just up and have her killed? And what is he exactly? If those drawings in her notebook are any indication, I don't think the King is exactly... human. Dammit I wish we could have saved that from the fire!

"I'm not human!" Exclaims Oliver. "Why does ta king need to be too? 'Abie he a demon!? Or a... devil or alien or sumtin!"

::Lillith frowns at Iole and tries to whisper so Oliver won't hear::
I thought I told you to keep him away from the discussion.
::Iole folds her arms and rests her head on the table::
Iole: He's a big boy now. He can help out.
::Lillith drops the matter and decides to focus on what Oliver said::
Demon? I don't know. I have a tough time believing a demon could get Echidna to listen to it. She was well versed in magics that could tame demons. It would have to be a really powerful one like Natalia or Nae'bils that wasn't bound by conventional rules. But that still doesn't explain why he'd win her over and then just kill her. Or why he's working through the Harvester. Or Harvesters.

"Well..." Oliver scratches his head, thinking. "Me gang does it tha way, Philip don ges his hands dirty un'ess he has too. 'Aybe ta King does ta same thin? But... wha about wha the guy 'ith the snake said? About ta king 'herald his sumthin or whateva he said? He said I seek tha one, don think its same king, I don't! 'Aybe two kings or sumthin?"
Oliver scratches his head again and look a little flustered. "I thin I jus confuse myself..."

:Kenny was listening away yet it was so confusing but he did his best to listen away while it was going on:
"If it is so then You think that there could be more than one of these Harvesters and if so then maybe it could be something like i dunno a cult maybe?"

::Lillith rubs her temples::
You're not the only one you just confused. Iole, you okay?
::Iole's eyes have a dizzied expression::
King in Yellow, two kings... look for one king... not the same king... Gah! Ollie why'd you do that to me?!
