Saiyako was doing a brisk business with her offerings of food. Some of the locals were only interested in the non-perishable food, but there were quite a few people who were interested in staying for fresh noodles, dumplings and sushi. There were several young couples or single parents with children in tow, who were more than happy to stay and chat with Saiyako and each other while she cooked. Even the mere presence of Saiyako and the van seemed to brighten up many people's day.<br/><br/>The woman, who introduced herself as Tina, seemed to shrink back from Midori's touch briefly, but soon accepted it, and allowed Midori to lead her towards the van. She reached inside her soy-cloth blouse and produced an old, worn credstick from somewhere between her voluminous, sagging breasts. "Just got this. I scrape together a bit from odd jobs here and there, helps me get by. Old Jessie sometimes pays me to keep an eye on the back way into the Big O.<br/><br/>"I got nothing against the runners in there, really. They take corp money and spend it in the neighbourhood. So there's... lemme think. Old Jessie owns the place, has done since the '30s, I think. As for the runners... I mean, a lot of them come through there. You can probably spot them by the way they carry themselves - like they're the most dangerous guys in the room. Some of them are just here looking for work or black market stuff, but for others, it's their local watering hole. There's a decker, Blue-Ring, who's usually good for a few nuyen when he's finished a job. Tall human, lots of energy, looks kind of aggressive but he's a sweetheart. Uh... there's Diana, ork girl, some kind of adept, likes her guns. Likes Ares guns, and Ares everything, but that doesn't stop her taking jobs against them.<br/><br/>"I mean, there's a lot of runners who come through that place. You're probably better off talking to Old Jessie, see if she saw the deal go down. I don't know if your bag is still there or if it's been moved along already, but she's your best bet to start asking questions... 'course, it's not the best place for corporate types to go asking questions, so watch your step there."<br/><br/>Tina was very happy to find a spot outside the van and accept a bowl of hot udon soup from Saiyako. She even managed to give the girl a warm smile. "You're doing good work here," she mumbled through a mouthful of noodles. "We 'ppreciate it."
