Knockturn Alley

"Well you didn't tell me that I'd be going up against a small army!"

He held up his hands in surrender, "okay I'll admit, kind of a dick move. But hey would you have gone if I told you who he was?!"

"Yes, but I would have been a bit more prepared!" He was getting kind of fired up over a situation that didn't even happen.

"Damn, chico, your acting skills just went up like 10 notches."

"Alright alright, don't get your panties in a wad! We can still fix this man!"

"Damn straight we're going to fix this."

"Alright so I'll tell you the plan, okay?" You hunting him down and kill him and I'll lay low somewhere. Deal? Or maybe you can be a bodyguard for a bit?" Joachim's cowardice knew no limitations.

"You're an idiot if you think I'm going to do that." He shook his head. "How about this? You face him and then I'll be there to pick up the pieces when you die?"

"Hey! This is as much your problem as mine! If chez hears you flipped on him, you're next on his list!"

"It's true. I need him gone just as much as you. How do we both get rid of him?"

"Why do you think I hired you? I'm no assassin..."

"But you're a con man. You've got to have some tricks hidden up your sleeves. I'll do the killing."

"Okay okay okay, let me think for a minute here..." He started to tap his chin as he tried to come up with a clever way to get himself out of this.

"Okay got it! You're still close with Voldy's other cronies right?"

"We're refereed to as Death Eaters, and yes," he answered with a perturbed expression upon his face. "What about it?"

"Well what if I let it split I'm staying somewhere, from there you and Voldy's dogs can ambush them?" He offered as a plan, excluding the detail that he would be no where near the event. But a little omission never hurt anyone. Namely him.

He thought about it for a moment. "That might work... I'll have to get in touch with my fellow Death Eaters and see if they're okay with this plan."

"Great wonderful!"

He smirked and slapped his shoulder as though they were friends at a bar, "You're my savior man, my personal jesus christ!"

OOC No matter how hard I try and think that Joachim is an asshole I just can't. He's too freaking amazing.

IC "Remember that when I save your ass. You'll owe me big time after this." He turned and left Knockturn Alley in search of those who would side with him.

"... Nice doing business with you Joachim, thank you for this amazing opportunity. I'm going to treat you like an equal as you've done so much good for me and I'll give up my assholish tendencies to try out this little thing called human connection I've heard so much about... who knows? May even score if I get around to it." Joachim muttered under his breath mimicking Death's voice. 

"Would it kill him to say that?" Joachim rolled his eyes but counted his blessings that he was getting what he wanted with minimal risk to himself. Besides, knowing Death, Crouch might be the first person he goes to...

And if Chezhekov was tipped off about that, he could kill the guy who ruined his inn as well as claim the crime lords resources as his own. A masterful stroke if he could manage it...

But if he did that, Chezhekov could just kill him off there and Joachim had no wish to die quickly...

Choices, choices...

Is wandering-

Crouch approaches her, "Hello Liria..."

Turns- What do you- Oh. Hey Crouch!

"Expecting someone you don't care for?"

Usually when you go to shady places like this and someone says your name you expect it is someone you don't like.

"I don't know. I've found the best sort of people hang out there. But to each their own..."

Crouch. You ARE a shady person.
