"Well then, I think it's about time we head out." Epikuro said after everyone seemed to have finished their drinks (or almost everyone since Stephen's mug apparently would remain full no matter how they waited, but she figured sometime one of the more greedy clients would snatch it later so a free drink wouldn't go to waste) and stood up from the table, readying herself to leave the bar, and then turning back just a moment to look at the two newly 'graduated' assassins. "Oh, and before I forget: if any of you need an alibi for the hours we 'required your attentions' today, feel free to ask now. The coverage is courtesy for first missions - but on the following times to come, you will be left to your own discreetion (and accords)."
The night felt fresh outside, if a bit chilly, and thanks for the moon and some lamp posts here and there the streets were not pitch-black. Still desert and darker than most civilians would descrive as not-frightening, but perfect for their little trip. Addison might be disappointed while dreaming of hidden doors and secret passageways (unless he wanted a trip to the sewer system), as indeed the few real ones were to be used by those who could actually find them, but there might still be handy things lurking in the streets... and in some case, people too.
"Our first stop is the marble steps." She told once they approached an area leveled slightly higher than the rest of the street, and flanked with some marble structures that could both be used to ready things for shows or simply to sit on. "During day this is where the main street stages are set up, and consequently where the more varied type of crowd gathers" Including some of their own spies of course. "Easy to get to, easy to spot, and a terrible place to finish off a mission unless you're either very good or very stupid. But if what you seek is info, it's the perfect place to gather it on your own or contact those who do. The main informant in this square is Dodge; he's always around during day, you'll know it's him if you meet." She stopped talking for a moment, just in case they wanted to look around and check the area, before continuing. "We'll show you some tricky or handy spots on the city and where to contact a few of the fixed informants. Fixed ones have the more confirmed accurate information about anything going on, perfect when you're building up a list, but they charge way more for the data they have; the wanderer ones are cheaper, with the most up-to-date news and will look into exactly what you want to know... if you can find one, that is. Of course, there's still the third option of saciating your knowledge needs on your own. After this tour, it will be up to you the ways you prefer." In a resume, the lesson was now and after they'd be left in charge of dealing with their own homework.
