The Obsidian lounge sits at the crossroads of corporate culture and those mercs, runners or fixers handling gigs. It leans slightly more corporate, drawing junior execs and mid-level fixers handling off-the-books biz. A dark private lounge, bathed in deep violet and crimson neon, offering quiet exclusivity in Japantown.
Enclosed booths and rooms remain set aside, with sound-dampening fields to prevent people from listening in. A holographic koi pond sits at the center, glowing faintly over the bar's black glass floor, casting projections across the bar's walls and surfaces. Bartenders clad in sleek, black and silver attire, mix up high-market cocktails for those who can afford them and simple ones who just want something strong. Its not the most luxurious or expensive place in the world, but its far from cheap.
A subtle security team can be glimpsed out of sight and mind at the edges, non-obtrusive; they never move unless needed. Ghost had a name and a rough description, the usual. a @Jun Chikako. Limited info, need-to-know. You learned more when you met someone face-to-face than you'd ever get from a data shard.
Leaning against the bar, placing an order. "Ashen Orchid" Not extravagant, and not too cheap, a drink that let him blend in. Something the client might recognize. Night City Whiskey, Plum Liqueur, Absinthe, grey Arasaka Hikari Leaves, and a black orchid petal on the surface, the glass angular with the rim tinted grey.
Drink in hand, Ghost made his way toward one of the side rooms, his optics confirming the ID, @Jun Chikako. He stopped at the booth, keeping himself casual but ready. "Ghost," he said, simple and direct. "Mind if I join you?" Assuming no objections, he slid into the soundproof booth, setting his drink down with a quiet clink. Fingers interlocking together, and resting on the table, Ghost met Jun's gaze for the first time.
"I hear you have a job."
If Jun had done their research they'd already know Ghost's record: Half a dozen or so low-tier gigs, and street work, nothing huge, but a reputation for getting in and out. Good with stealth, capable of loud when necessary, reliable but a gambler who made the right calls, and a bit of an action junkie when it came down to it. Also, he was assembling a crew, with no data on that yet.
