its clear to azure that this man has escaped from a funny farm "i dont know its not my job to open them" he takes the package back which sounds like it may be broken.
"happy birthday" he tells the man giving him back the package it clear that he is not dangerous. just anoying and the way he talks makes him sound even more crazy.
"so whats youre name and what have you been doing beside pretending its christmas" he asks the strange man ok no stranger then himself returning from the dead.

"My name is Mustachio Pistacio." He says, and tips his invisible hat. "And if I were a crow, I would caw. But since I am not..I will anyway. Caw." He says. He is highly amused by his own antics and starts to snort with laughter. "What is your name, and who is the lovely lady with you?" He asks. He extends his hand to shake.

"I am azure and this is Kalaessa" he lets Kalaessa shake his hand unsure of the man. he seem to be some kind of jester the clothing and atitude seem to fit "we were just walking you can join us if you want" he invited the man who seemed to need no invitation at all. he was soon at a loss for words how does one speak to two starngers at once especial one so strange.

Lucio opens the package from the courier and sees that it is a box of cookies. He quickly devours several cookies since he is hungry. He hasn't eaten for days. Right now, he is looking for work and doesn't have a penny on him. He offers some cookies to Khalessa and Azure.
"Ahgsure..sats a stwange nawme..." He says to Azure with his mouth full of cookies. He swallows for a moment.
"I just came from Cuba. Things are crazy there. The farm that I worked on was purchased by Dinari Dollar, so now I need to find a new place to work."

"Maybe I will pick up an application." He replies to him. Then he wonders what the man means by saying that he is from one of the religious compounds. Maybe he is a Manlalist. Maybe he can't be trusted. Lucio becomes nervous and isn't sure what to do or say next.
"I am also from one of those...religious compounds..Yep, Manalist just like you. Praise Father Manala." He says with zeal. It is really the only thing that he could think to do.

Annika 25 approaches a group of three. She quickly checks their Credit Scores and see that they are all wanted by the Creditors for some reason or another. She scans Khalessa first then Azure, and lastly Lucio. Lucio has the worst Credit Score. She also notices that Azure hands Lucio one of his packages. This really catches the Creditor android's attention, since those packages are private property.
She rushes over to the three of them.
"Stop in the name of good credit!" She shouts at the three. She eyes the package. "That package was private property. Who dares to violate the most basic of laws?" She asks the three. She appears ready to fight them.

"Shoot, we've gotta get out of here!" Lucio says when the Creditor Android approaches him. He doesn't want to get thrown in a debtors prison or worse. He isn't sure what to do, so, he just offers the android a cookie.
"Here, he was actually delivering them to me. See the name on the package clearly says Archibald Rumproast!" He states, before throwing the box of cookies at her and jumping on Azure's bike. He peddles away as quickly as he can, leaving Azure and Khalessa behind.

The android forgets all about Khalessa and Azure. She quickly runs after Lucio. She has cookie crumbs in her pink hair from having the cookies thrown at her. However, this does not bother her as much as the fact that those cookies BELONG to someone.
The REAL name on the package is not Archibald Rumproast. The package in fact says, Calithin Crest.
The android calls back to the courier as she chases Lucio. "You must complete the delivery with cookies of equal value to those that were destroyed. If you fail, I will come for you and you will be put into a Manalist prison." She shouts back at him.

Lucio bikes down an narrow alley in an attempt to lose the android. When he comes to a dead end, he ditches the bike and runs inside of a worn out apartment building. He knows he has to lose the android or he will be in terrible trouble. He rushes down stairs and finds an open apartment. Whoever lives there isn't at home and left it unlocked. He enters the apartment, locks the door behind him, then runs through the apartment to a fire escape. Hopefully the android will waste time looking for him in the apartment complex.
He slides down the railing of the fire escape and jumps into some lilac bushes below. He lands hard but continues to run. He runs to the street and into the traffic, almost causing some accidents before making it across the street and to a shopping mall. There should be plenty of places to hide out there.

The android chases Lucio into the apartment building, but when she enters, Lucio is no where in sight. She looks down a long hall of closed and locked doors. She wonders if maybe one of the residents let him into their room. She runs up several flights of stairs to check each level of apartments. Every hall is empty which confuses the machine. She checks the laundry room and the basement as well. Once again, no sign of the man. She is upset that lately she has had little luck at her job. She spends more time searching but will not enter an apartment because that is trespassing and it would violate the privacy of residents there.

To Machiavelli
Kaschei spends some time investigating the situation in Cuba. One of the most interesting things that he learns is that there is a rebel communist group called Red Infinity which has been active on the island. This new information is helpful, since he would like to meet their leader and see if perhaps they can work together. It is always good to have allies in case things with Dinari turn sour.
He ponders these things as he walks down a street in Havana. However, his thoughts are quickly broken when he notices Machievelli. The black dragon must have split off from Alexei for a while, since it appears that the dragon is alone.
"Hello. Events thus far have pleased me. We of couse need to proceed carefully. I have a contract with Dinari Dollar, but I am not certain he trusts me over the Manalists. We must be careful to cultivate this friendship and build his trust." Kaschei says to the dragon.
It is warm and Kaschei is not dressed for the climate. He is still wearing black pants and a silky red long sleaved shirt. His clothes are sticky and uncomfortable here.

Keitoleinen returns to the kitchen when he smells the cookies. Linnea looks quite tired. He sits down at the table and observes her as she does the dishes.
"You look tired. If you like, I could call Eun over and maybe she could drive you home." Keitoleinen suggests. "Or you can fall asleep on the couch. I wouldn't mind." Keitoleinen states. The cookies smell delicious.
"It is dangerous for you to be alone. Maybe you should have someone move in with you. Maybe Eun or another employee."

"That would make sense... I believe that's why I also find you interesting. People in my day to day life are, well, normal as you put it." Bambi thought of her coworkers as she finished one side of her English muffin before taking a few more sips of her tea. She glanced at the clock in the cafe for the time out of habit, since she'd forgotten her watch. It wasn't too late yet, thankfully. Though she supposed it hardly mattered since she'd just be up all night anyway, but her paranoia made it matter.
Such a large variety of things could happen to a woman out on the streets at night, many of them not pleasant. The thoughts rising in her head made her shift uncomfortably as she tried to stop her mind from wandering.

"Well, everybody finds me interesting," Peter replied with a grin, "I'm a pretty unusual fellow." He finished his food, which hadn't really done much of anything for him (even something as basic as a sandwich just tasted foreign when you were in another country), and spent a few moments reviewing the room again. Some people had left, others had arrived, as one might expect from a public eatary.
"Well, good to get the frame work down," he said finally, tapping the forms on the table. "When I came to the bank proper for the next part I'm sure everything will be that much smoother." He didn't check the time, time didn't really matter to him. He didn't get tired, not long normal people, he got just sort of wore down. But between the changes and the chemicals he needed something had shifted in his brain. When he slept he just sort of closed his eyes and willed himself to sleep, he had to guess when he needed it.
This made scheduling activites difficult but allowed him to crosstime zones without difficulty and let him do his job properly.
"I suppose jumping to Florida and all across the world can really throw you off your base clock, eh?" He assumed Bambi went out often as part of her job, she'd come to Florida, why not other places?
