Thomas Raith Knowledge is power. And lately Thomas has been feeling ill equiped. He knows that the Reds are making this drug, ThreeEye. Knows that it's out there. He's even hit a few of their shipments. But he doesn't know where it's being manufactured, or even how exactly. And so he reached out. Let a few of his...less savory friends... know that there would be big money for anyone who could put him in touch with someone who /could/ get that info. One of them said they could get him a meet with a world famous thief... And so now he's waiting on the roof of Lady for someone who calls herself "the Catwoman." he sighs. "Simon if your pulling my leg, I swear I'll feed you to Madiline.."
Selina Kyle Sometimes, opportunities arise from the strangest of places. Someone had heard of Catwoman, wanted to meet with her to discuss something about a drug. Details weren't firm, but money came up and it /sounded/ like this person was trying to get it off the streets or along those lines. Normally she might not even bother with an answer, but this time?

There was a temptation to find out more. In her dealings with Batman, which she's attempting to repair to some extent while figuring out whether or not there's even anything to salvage with him to begin with, he wanted her to keep an eye out for crime he and his crew might be able to put a stop to. It might open the door back into his good graces, might give her the chance to do some of what she liked to do without too much trouble from the Bat.

It also gave her the chance to scout out some locations away from Gotham. After all, he didn't bother too much with New York City, or Metropolis, or Bludhaven. Perhaps tonight she could do a little two-for-one - see what the deal is with the drugs, and stick around for a little job. She even singled out a few places that looked like good bets for a clean score.

But first, the man atop the roof might be wondering if she'd even show up. It was late, getting to be ten, fifteen minutes later than the time she tentatively agreed to. What he might not know is she's up on another rooftop, waiting, watching to see how long he seems interested in sticking around before giving up on the idea.
Thomas Raith It's a chilly night, though Thomas doesn't seem too bothered by the cold. He paces slightly more out of annoyance then anything. Finally he leans agienst a vent and just closes his eyes for a moment... Then they snap open and he turns his head...and he is looking right at her. His eyes locked with her's through the binoculars.
Selina Kyle There is a suddenly curious tilt to the costumed catburglar's head as Thomas eventually finds exactly where she is. If she's annoyed with however he did that, it's not showing. If she's surprised..that does come through just a bit, a brow raising behind the tinted goggles she wears. Slowly, deliberately, a claw-gloved hand lifts so he might see it, the fingers waggling.
Thomas Raith A slight smirk crosses his eyes and he reaches into his inside coat pocket and pulls out a Crown Royal bag, like the sort that geeks carry dice in. He pours from it a small quantity of small clear stones. Diamonds, into his hand, then dumps them back into the bag and places the bag back into his pocket. He raises a single eyebrow at her.
Selina Kyle Following the display, Catwoman rises up to her full height, allowing him to see her in all her catsuited glory. Then, the bullwhip at her side is unfurled and with a crack, it snaps out at a nearby bar atop an adjacent roof. She uses it to swing her way down closer before it releases, and she soars the rest of the way much like a cat in mid-pounce, landing softly a few feet away atop The Blue Lady. Standing back up, she makes a show of rolling the whip back up before resting a hand at her hip. "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention," she rather purrs.
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith smirks a little bit at the expression. "One of my favorite movies." He comments casually and nods, taking the full look of her in and obviously enjoying what he sees, but when he speaks he's looking at her eyes, not her...other attributes. "There is a new drug out there. It's called ThreeEye." He says simply. "Police think it's some powerful Hallucinogen. I happen to know it's more. I wanna put the people making it out of business." He takes out the Crown royal bag, and from it removes three smaller bags. One of these he tosses to the woman. "That's about a million in diamonds." he says simply. "There is another just like it if you can get me the information on /where/ they are making the ThreeEye. There is a third if you can get me the name of the man making it."
Selina Kyle For the record, the zipper is drawn all the way up to the neck, beneath the buckled strap of Catwoman's open-faced cowl with the cat ears atop it. She isn't giving him a look at any skin beyond the facial area. "It's an exceedingly violent movie, but it had some good lines. The man can do dialog."

Talk of less important things out of the way, the Feline Fatale listens to the description of the drug and frowns. "I'm not sure I like the possibility of that ending up in my neighborhood," she says, then she snags the bag out of the air, a brow raising again. "Just like that? You must be a very rich man. Why do you need my help for this, if that's the case? What leads do you have?"
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith shrugs and sees no reason to lie. "My family runs one of the largest Porn Empires in the world." He says simply. "I could toss you a bag like that every day for a year and not even annoy the accountants." he takes out a cigerette, but doesn't light it. "What i don't have is the investigative skills to follow it up. Or answers that you'd nessicarily believe. But just in case, I'll tell you. You search hard enough you'll find out anyway. The stuff is being manufactured by vampires."
Selina Kyle Catwoman turns the bag over in a hand, keeping it held there without putting it away yet. "Someone's got to get rich on that, right?" It sure wasn't her at any point. His showing off - or just stating the facts - draws no particular reaction from her, though she pauses a moment when he seems like he may be about to light up. "Something tells me you don't want to get Batman in on this one, am I right? Sure, I can find things of my own out when I want to."

She keeps a distance of a few feet from the man, no doubt sizing him up, seeing if she can figure out what she thinks of him so far. "Vampires? I don't know if I'm prone to believe that or not, but I can't rule them out. You do what I do, you see some weird stuff once in a while. Let me guess. If I pursue this, it's going to get dangerous for me?"
Thomas Raith "Dispite what modern young adult literature would have us believe, Vampires are not cuddlely sparklely bad boys who just wanna be loved. Yeah it'll be dangerious. In a big way. Butr then again i'm not exactlly offering you chump change to take the job." He smirks just a little bit, "As for Batman, I'd honestly prefer to remain off the radar of someone like that.
Selina Kyle "If you're running a porn empire I can see why, but you never know what someone who dresses like that is into," Catwoman quips, and for a moment she rubs the side of her neck. That's where vampires always bite, isn't it? "I don't usually carry around wooden stakes or flamethrowers or whatever works on those guys, and I don't get a lot of sun myself. Should I start eating more garlic?" There's a note of sarcasm in her tone as she runs through a few of the usual methods of dealing with vampires. "But if all you need are locations and maybe a name, I might be able to do that. What does the first bag cover?"
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith says, "Garlic won't do balls. stake through the heart works on just about everything, including your average human. But if you really find yourself in a fight with them, go for their belly. Open their blood resiviour and they become weak as kittens. No offense." He smirks a bit, "And I'm not part of that Empire. I run a Club... I just happen to still have a bit of access to the piggy bank that's all." he fiddles with the cigarette but still doesn't light it. "First bag covers this meeting and your word you will investigate. You come up goose eggs and it covers your time and expenses. Consider it a retainer."
Selina Kyle Catwoman also has a shoulder bag, which she shifts around to stick the diamonds in. She appears unconcerned about holding that much in valuables at one time. It's undoubtedly less than she's carried around before. "Yeah, gut them like a fish, right?" she responds, taking a line from another popular movie before sniffing once in haughty indignation of some kind at the 'weak kitten' bit. "Fair enough. I'm sure you all produce high-quality work," she remarks, a hint of sarcasm in place before she punctuates things with a nod. "Oh, I'll investigate it. Do you have any leads on where it's been found the most so far? That may be a good place to start looking."
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith head shakes, "Not much I'm afraid. When I hear about a shipment, I do my best to shut it down. vigorously. But I have little to no information on where the stuff is actually being made and who is making it. prettier sure they also have a human sorcerer involved. this doesn't really feel like Vamp magic to me." He shrugs a bit, "My sister does allot of dominatrix films. You might like her, you share fashion sense."
Selina Kyle "The next time you find something out, send me word. I'll give you a line on how to reach me without jumping through a bunch of hoops. I'm going to want to see what I can see first-hand so I can get a better sense of what's going on. I don't want this stuff in my neck of the woods," Catwoman says. It leaves the two of them to work out a few more details, but not before she gives the man an amused sniff at the last part he brings up.
