"I see. I wonder if she'll take it. . . guess it depends on whether she's satisfied with the cafe income." Shef turned to Ryouta. "Two of the new allies work in a maid cafe. Another, been working with her a bit longer, is some sort of swimsuit sports star. Keijo or something. Another is some rich kid from an old family, hits on everyone. The final one's a bit better, but I think she's spent most of her life jumping between families because they all think she's hallucinating. As a final note, I don't think any of them is over eighteen. It's been. . . interesting." A scowl, and then another sip of water.

"Huh, expected more than cubicle drudgery. Makes sense as a handler. . ." Shef tapped a finger on the bar, trying to think who Rosario may have met. It probably wouldn't be Noriko, since last he had seen she was at home playing a game with her brother for lack of a better term. Minato and Faith had gone off together, so possibly not them, since Rosario had said one? Shaky assumptions, to be certain, since it had been a few hours since Shef saw them. "Yoake or Yuki? Or someone else? Opinions on them?"

"Where does the name come from? And the sync thing, that just based on skill or did the problems with that come from dying? Repeatedly?" Shef grimaced, mind wandering along the paths the officer had seeded. Completely anonymous, it seemed. No DNA records, no contacts, no information. The problem was memories of course, and the fact that he seemed to be an anomaly. Might be an interesting person to have on hand though. As a contact for the more unorthodox jobs.

"Huh. Sounds pretty messed up, though the DNA thing is pretty nice. No Regalia. . . so you go purely off of skill in the taskforce, then? Mainly long range weapons?" When the bartender approached, Shef ordered a glass of water.

Pushpin.

"Oh, plenty. Nothing specific though. I don't have any targets that would need something specific. Might be nice to have some less than lethal options on hand. But that can be done without exotics, just getting rubber bullets and the like. As far as more unusual stuff goes, you know anything that would work well with portals?"

Please don't set off explosives with a flamethrower.

Anything larger than a fragmentation grenade or German HE stick grenade (Steilhandgrenate or some such) is going to kill you at the ranges an infantry flamethrower can fire. Heck, the frag might STILL kill you at that range, if you're unlucky and catch fragmentation from it.

Could probably set it off from around a corner, just stick the flamethrower out and spray, while keeping most of your body behind the wall?

Seeing Rosario at the bar, Shef stepped up, and sat himself down next to the man. He didn't say anything, for a couple reasons. He was early, so he didn't want to interrupt of course, but also in Shef's line of work, sometimes you didn't really want to introduce two specific people. Thus Shef gave the opportunity for Rosario to ignore him completely if he so desired. A sort of discrete way to tell the man of his presence without interfering, something was either incredibly helpful, or did not cause problems. Of course, Shef did know that it might limit what Rosario could talk about. . .
