Yet again Damian found himself wishing Kyuui was there. The three band members were clearly loud, obnoxious, and dumb as bricks. Sure, the wizard and rogue likely possessed some measure of intelligence, but he suspected it is limited to their individual craft. It was the fourth man who kept running in and out that would serve as the brains of the operation. Hell, their own band would have been hard pressed to make sure matters were in order if they hadn’t had Sanae taking care of that for them. Without their own administrative person, he got the feeling that their ‘big surprise’ as well as much of the oomph behind their showmanship would effectively be neutered. Without that guy, the competition would be a walk in the park for NekoNightmare.<br/><br/>Damian didn’t want to kill the band manager, the guy was only doing his job and going to that extreme would just be bad karma. Not to mention the suspicion of foul play coming back upon them could possibly take away credibility of their skills at playing. Though, if he was to inadvertently fall into a spontaneous coma brought on by one of Kyuui’s patented poison cocktails… well, such things are just an ever present risk of everyday life and it would be on Corpse Corps for choosing a manager who was prone to bouts of spontaneous prolonged narcolepsy. He supposed he could try and intimidate the guy into fleeing the town, but such a thing could too easily come back against him.<br/><br/>With a sigh, he decided he learned as much as he could from the band itself. He paid for the tall mug even though he hadn’t taken a single drink from it and made his way out the door. Perhaps it would have seemed suspicious leaving a full beer behind, but Damian wasn’t the sort to drink alone, especially with adversaries closer than companions, so it was mainly a ploy to establish cover. With any luck, he would run into the manager again and be able to pump him for information regarding the ‘big surprise’.  He tried to recall if there was supposed to be a fourth member in their band, figuring it for the standard to cover all the major instruments unless one both played and did vocals.  If that were the case, though, would he really play so loud as to drown out his own voice?
