The Monster Factory is an interesting place, although at least half of the attraction is lost on Athena. Just can't really enjoy the aesthetic of the place, and several of the theme nights are just plain no-goes. But the soundtrack outside the booths and theatres is good, the cooking better, and the seats are plush despite the place generally being seen as a bit of a relic. But people say that just adds to the ambience.<br/><br/>Today, however, Athena isn't here to enjoy one of the few audio-only horror treats the place offers, nor for the food (though both are on offer and quick). Today Mister R.H. Barlow has called in a few favors from academia and collectors, and gotten the services of Athena. The older man's voice is shot through with worry and fire, but still sounds close enough to the stronger, horror voice affected in the recorded greeting at the door.<br/><br/>The Red Wing apartments aren't just across the street, but they're close enough that troubles there sometimes boiled over and out as far as the Monster Factory. Before, Mister Barlow hadn't had the ability to make any kind of complaint as Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, the owners of the Red Wing, were able to run it as their own private fife, practically complete with titles. Despite the lack of money or extraterritoriality, they got away with this by some non-monetary bribes to some very important members of the security corps around there.<br/><br/>But things have changed. There's only two of those four still alive or relevant, and they're currently at each other's throats. This is mostly for the worse, and in other circumstances Mister Barlow says that he probably would have weighed options and sent a runner after whichever one he felt was worse. But they ended up striking quite close to home, and so he just wants one of them removed from the equation. Not fatally, as that would definitely call down a bit too much heat on both you and he, but each one has their own operations that can be hit.<br/><br/>Mr. Stewart has the apartments. Officer Akai Shibusawa trains killer dolls and still has them 'hunt' in the apartments. Athena just needs to give one of them a bit of a black eye in their work (or 'work') and Barlow will help the unharmed one shove the other down the metaphoric stairs.<br/><br/>And once the food arrives, Mister Barlow will entertain questions.
