[X] Buy drinks (non-alcoholic) and add in a "small" tip saying you're looking for someone?
There were some things that one never forgets; how ride a war crank, how to fix and maintain one's aetheric toys, and how to get information from snitches.
The art, as it were, involved being discrete and having something the snitch wanted.
In this case, the snitch was a bartender and you desired to get information from him. A quick look at the board up top above the bar showed prices of drinks, a good number of which you didn't recognize. Still, the fact that the non-alcoholic juices and "pop?" were relatively expensive on their own meant that you had an in.
As such, you end up buying orange... wait... this couldn't be real orange juice, it was like some kind of watery derivative... really, this was just overpriced orange water with sugar in it. Still, your sterling notes were accepted without an issue.
At least, no more than a look of surprise at the amount there, and the bartender needing to work out the conversion from the pound sterling to dollars. The change of thirty dollars he returned was pushed back with a smile and a mention of a tip.
There was a look of disbelief before understanding blossomed on the bartender's face when you mentioned you were looking for someone.
Indeed, this "Willy" was truly an experienced snitch.
Still, the reaction when you described this "Buffy Summers" and mentioned her name... she had a reputation, an unsavory one at that.
There was the shake of head from the bartender, and a response that the 'Slayer' hadn't come by his bar this evening. And that as much as he liked clientele who tipped well, it was quite likely, the 'Slayer' had gone to "The Bronze".
"It's this nightclub, across town," he casually mentioned before handing off a tomato juice and vodka cocktail to a waitress. "But I were you, I wouldn't go out there. It's gone crazy for some reason and normally, Halloween's the quiet night, you know."
"You don't get any of the vampires or demons causing problems or even out there. It's like the one night where you shouldn't have problems," He shook his head. "But tonight has just been crazy. I've heard talk there are all kinds of monsters out there along with odd things. Must have been some wizard doing things."
The way he said things was worrying.
There was also the factor of time, from what you could see of the clock in the bar, it was past midnight now. Which also brought up a worrying concern, what was the Librarian up to? Was he experiencing problems on his end?
