Granted, it was tenuous, but go listen to Sweating Bullets by Megadeth

No, I'm rifling through your desk via my extendable arm
Although I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely and it could be about a Catholic Priest visiting an orphanage, before being sacked and turning into a postal worker.

Well, I do have the mental image of a guy shooting a flurry of 9mms out of his armpits now.

When Grimmie gets the call, there's quite a long silence, the sound of arcade machines and chatter in the background filling the gap.
You can hear a little movement, a long drawn-out sigh, and then the sound of footsteps.
Grimmie wrote:Well fuck. Dour? I'll be with you in twenty, I'm not too far away.
In fact, make it twenty-five, gotta change paints if we're meeting this guy.

K'trr can be heard as hearty laughter in the background of the call to Eraser. Don't worry, he's coming too

Okay, well assuming everyone gets together at Dark Lament.
The Dark Lament building in Central is an unnaturally slender, towering, gothic building. It looks more like a black, elongated cathedral than a place of business, and upon entering through the huge doors of dense, black wood, the interior does nothing to alter that impression. A vast atrium made of black veined marble appears to fill the entire ground floor, twin rows of pillars stretching up towards the high ceiling and away towards a black column with a narrow staircase winding around it. Immediately in front of you is a counter made of the same black wood, a petite female Ebon sat behind it looking politely towards you.

For once, Dirk is speechless when confronted with a pretty lady. He's gazing around the building, eyes wide with wonder.
Dirk wrote:
This place is stunning - such beauty in it's design! It's like being back on Static.
After a minute he regains his senses and approaches the lady at the desk.
Dirk wrote:Hello, I'm Dirk with SLA squad Five Punk. We have an appointment with Mr. Dour. Tell me, what's it like working here - it looks simply amazing. Everything about this place looks stunning, yourself included of course...

Receptionist wrote:Thank you sir. Of course I enjoy working at Dark Lament, it's the cutting edge. Very interesting people pass through my halls, although not as many Operatives as you might think. I expect your job is very interesting too. Oh, and I overheard you mention the architecture. In fact the design is based on the Citadel of the Disciple, the ancient seat of power on Static, destroyed during the Conflict Wars. Ironic that we now see it on Mort.
Mr Dour is expecting you. Please enter the elevator in the base of the pillar.

Dirk wrote:How wonderful. I love to see the old ways haven't left us. This building and its contents are truly breathtaking. Look, I have to go for a meeting with Mr. Dour now, but perhaps we could meet up some point to discuss the finer points of Ebon architecture?
