I don't like the cold very much

Myself, i am from a warm place, it's also where they gave me these arms.
Those things a probably the only good things about it

Yeah? I can't stand the warm, sweaty and all that. But ey, its nice to meet you.
I'd assume it'd take a couple rounds to make you open up about what those arms are about, no?

…Thanks, miss eh, Justice. Names Sarah. Nice outfit.

…Say, I was told by my boss that i'd be meeting
with a mysterious, raven haired mercenary about
the goings on in the city. Would you happen to know
anything about that?

I'm trying to find a story in this town. This mystery
merc's the only lead i was given.

There's been rumors and sightings of a trafficking ring deep inside the city. Along with some dissapearances. "Our" intel points at Seraphinni logistics. I was about to head over and do some snooping. Perhaps you could tag along, help out and get your story while you're at it?
