Kree does a quick scan around for Ergo in the immediate vicinity but it turns up nothing, he's simply not in the area. Approaching a merchant at random, he ends up going to an alchemist one. Oddly enough it was a Squirtonian, a little rare to see away from their normal homes or alone, but, not unheard of. "Da! Hello goud siur!" He had a strong tone, like an energetic merchant and of course, had a bit of a slang accent of Squirtonian, like one of the ones at the bottom of the Squirtonian civilization. Their accent had a slight underwater sound effect to it as well, normal for Squirtonians. "Vu luike soume potiouns? I gots pouwewful potiouns here, shtuff vu wont shee in shopss. Luike dis!" He pulls up an odd looking potion. "Ied waurp magics aroond vu. Wiezards be luike 'Oh nooo, muh spellsh be nurfed!' wchen vu drimk vis!"

He seemed to mostly act as though he didn't hear Krees response at first, but Kree just gives him an unmoving stare. Especially since, due to Krees perception, he got the feeling this guy was full of crap with his potion. This made the Squirtonian waver his head in acceptance of the question. "Va, vell, da. I shees him. Bout week'go. He trae info on potioun reciope, I gife him potioun." He then gestures off to the other end of this archway hall. "Den he go 'hat way. Shay he ha'e bushinesf wit' shome pfeople hoigher up." He then looks back to Kree with a grin. "Vu go ashk, may'e thwey tell. May'e vu bwuy potioun, may'e it help withf 'hat." He tries to push another potion towards Kree suggestively.

The Squirtonian bows in thanks for the credits as Kree makes his way towards the back of where he entered from. He approaches the tunnel way, larger than other tunnel ways in this area, and he goes down it. He passes a few guard looking fellows that seem positioned at regular intervals before coming to an opening to his right.

It was a regular opening that opened up into a larger, archway style entry way, with an archway door blocking the way. This also had a pair of guards standing by it and some scanners on the walls next to them. This looked like the place where more private affairs were done, where higher ups would collect. Like the place the Squirtonian might have been talking about.

The guards look to him almost expectantly, almost like they know him as well. It's not really his first time through this place after all.

The guards look to each other and smirk before asking who he is, when he replies, they nod acknowledgingly and open the door for him. Once he goes inside, he can see it wasnt so much of a bosses room. It was more of a higher ups in general room, a VIP room of sorts, with high stakes things to do. Inside there was currently only 6 people, all looking like bosses in their own right, each playing a card game with high costs and chatting over the game. When Kree enters, they pass him a quick glance to note who was allowed in before resuming their game and conversation.

Aside from the card players, the room also had more guards and its own bartender and waitress.

The players shrugged him off and continued their game, talking and chatting. It was quite some time, perhaps an hour, before they seemed to be done and were starting to pack up and leave. None of them seemed angry, even ones that lost a lot. It was clearly a casual game for them that was more something for them to do while they discussed things.

They all gave him a look of surprised intrigue, though most of them left still afterwards, two of them remained. The one that was a male human spoke up. "You just stood there waiting around this time just to ask a simple question as that?" He shakes his head with a light smirk and chuckle. "You got some politeness to you for a place like this."

There was a pause as the two remaining looked to each other. The well groomed, yet somewhat buff looking man looked to the vixen looking human woman beside him. They looked to him again and the woman spoke up. "Ergo was here though, for me. He had some .. information .. he wanted to sell me. It had some weight to it, but not for me directly. So I told him to take it to Valdo." She had a very vixen posture to her as well, her pose, her composure, even her tone. She passed a glance to the man again. "I have a ... particular colleague, in Valdo who that information would have been best suited for. Do us a favor and, make sure he got there." She stated, almost dominantly, giving out free information should have it's perks, especially since he waited this long for it. As the two made their way out the door, the girl glanced back to Kree over her shoulder. "By the way, next time, just join the game." She sounded a tad demanding with a bit of seduction in her tone, but she did pass him a smirk.

The girl smirked to him with a little nod and added. "If you find him, tell him Vanessa asked." Before she came out of sight around the corner and down the hall.

Kree got transport back to the Drifter base and then transported to Valdo, the famous desert city. He was dropped down right outside the city limits where he could see that this place was almost natural with the desert around them, and hot too. The place was very Arabian in style, building that looked like they were made of sandstone and also built down into the sand as much as they need to to be sitting on more solid stable, supportive ground. The roads were hardened sand from constant use and the citizens had more Scapoks than pretty much any other major city.

Near the entry way to the city, and he imagined it was like this on most entry ways, there were a few set up market stalls of random vendors selling their wares to anyone coming or leaving the city.

Kree made his way to one of the seedier places of Valdo where he'd make his way to an old hotel building. The place was still functional, but owned by people of the darker side of society. Most of this hotel was used as a meet and greet and hangout for those with their fingers in the underground way of life.

Inside looked nice enough, kept up to standards enough, bit warmer though but that can be blamed on the desert and the material this place is made of. It had a reception desk on the entry floor with a clerk and a lobby all around the front area where plenty of questionable residents resided. None of which seemed to be Ergo though.

The human, dark skinned girl behind the desk gave a soft smile and tilt of her head. "You know we dont just give out names of our residents without good reason, or cause." She hinted at some form of payment or trade with her eyes towards his containers. "You can of course wonder around, ask around, see if you can find any business or information you're looking for among the patrons." She then leaned in close with a little quirky smirk and whisper. "Just try not to cause any trouble, okay?"

Sakuro gave a slight nod. "Sounds like a good plan. Lets find a spot to rest in safety while we wait." He stated but it also sounded like a suggested request.

Kree slides her about 10$ and she looks to him expectantly, looks to him in a way that suggests she is considering the worth vs the risk and it's not looking worth it. So he slides her 10$ more and she eyes for a moment, before slyly slipping the money away. She leans closer, shifting some of her weight to her elbows on the desk, making it look casual. "I saw Ergo in here a couple days ago. He was asking for one of Vanessa's men. He went to the guy in his room, came out an hour later looking quite happy." She leaned back up and looked down her nose at Kree but not in a snooty kind of way, but in a gossip girl kind of way. "I can only assume he got lucky. If your lucky, maybe he's still in town, celebrating. Or maybe find Vanessa's man, he's still using the room."

The girl lets him know it was room C5, which was a third floor room. When he got there and knocked, he got silence for a bit, before he heard through the door. "Who the hells asking?" A rough voice from what sounded like it could be a Scapok. Kree could hear the click of a gun being armed and readied on the other side of the door thanks to his perception.

There was a moment of silence, Kree couldn't hear anything further, before the door would unlock and slightly open with a Scapoks face peaking through. "Kree huh? Why you looking for him? There a bounty on his wiggly ass?" That is where Kree would explain he was just looking for information from him. The guy opened the door a bit more and leaned his shoulder against the inside of the door frame. Kree would spot the pistol in the hand of said shoulder. "Well you missed him, by about two days. He gave us some ..." The Scapok paused and looked to the other guys in the room before back to Kree. ".. valuable information. He was paid well for it too. Men like him tend to like to uh .. have a party? Can't say how he parties, but I'm sure he's somewhere in town having himself a blast. If he hasn't partied too hard of course and blown all the money already."

Some other guy in the room butted in, saying. "Could check the other hotels of the city. If he is still in the city enjoying his payout, he's bound to have a temporary room somewhere near more active places. Don't think anyone is dumb enough to celebrate payout in areas of cities like this."

Kree slides her another 10$ and tells her to let him know if Ergo comes through and she nods, letting him know she will as she takes the money.

Thanks to an Int check, Kree thought for a moment about what the men said in the room and what he knows of Ergo from the past. Ergo is the type to put off an air of inadequacy, making people think he is some stupid low life that just happens to hear things. In truth, he's actually pretty smart, he would know to never celebrate in the same city he sold information too. Just makes it all the easier to find him for the guys the information was about. No he would sneak out of town and at the least, go the nearest neighboring city if he was going to celebrate. Which in this case, would be Jastro East.
