The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[Immortal Platypus]

Impossible turned, feeling the weight as Rep accidentally fell on them. "Who the heck are you?" he furiously whispers, still undetectable. 

[NameIess]

"No one you know. Those two have a rather large bounty on their heads, and I'm here to claim it." Rep's voice is masked by a strange device so that Impossible cannot recognize him.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper hears this, then creeps up behind the two. "howre you two doing, also, rep, ive been meaning to find you"

[NameIess]

Rep presses a button on his gauntlet and becomes invisible. "Well I've been looking for you as well."

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper smiles. "likely for different reasons"

[NameIess]

"And why have you been looking for me?"

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper sits down at a table that came forth from thin air. "a nice talk about how you and i are similar in our murder techniques. you are an assassin, correct?"

[NameIess]

"No. A bounty hunter."

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

he motions for him to sit. "close enough in my book"

[NameIess]

Rep may have sat, although it is difficult to tell with him being invisible. "You wanted to talk because we do similar jobs?"

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

"yes, that is exactly that! albeit i dont always bring the body back to the employer"

[NameIess]

"I normally stay away from people in my line of work, unless I'm hired to do otherwise." Rep became visible again, still standing and on guard. "Do you want to prove you're better than me or something?"

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

he shakes his head. "no, i just want to exchange tricks of the trade, thats all"

[NameIess]

"Such as?" Rep sheathed a dagger, pulling out some kind of device instead.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

"well, i was wondering if using poison or a knife as a threat works better"

[NameIess]

"Depends on your goals and your targets. Neither will work against Narrators."

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper cocks his head. "then what does?"

[NameIess]

"Very little. I wouldn't take a job to kill one of them unless I had to, and I would suggest you do likewise."

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

"but there's no fun in that!" and he snaps his fingers, shorting out the invisibility device.

[NameIess]

"Trying to keep me from running away?" Rep shrugged. "You got any tricks for me?"

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

"actually, yes. you gotta know the victim like the back of your hand. everything. even then, you have to be careful, as he might have guards. catch him when hes vulnerable. but never while he's at home or church."

[NameIess]

"Oh, I agree." Rep pressed a few more buttons on the device he held, then nodded put it back into his cloak. "I'll keep an eye out for you. Until we meet again."

With that, Rep vanished, leaving Sleeper and Impossible alone with Butt Venture and a bunch of rats and stuff. Abalodor, notably, was nowhere to be seen.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper has a child-like grin of excitement. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

[NameIess]

Butt Venture asked if he could get on with his adventure.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

sleeper shrugs, as does abalador.
