Editing Smoke Songprawati (section)

==Questions and Answers==

;Who are you?
:I'm Smoke, your fixer this compromised morning.

;How long have you been in the city?
:I'm in and out. I was away for a bit there, but I'm back now. Just in time, looks like.

;Who would you die for?
:My sister, Pensri. She's the reason I got into all this. 

;What is your daily release?
:I ride around the city, watching it, scheming my way out. To classical music.

;What do you desperately need?
:There's an obsidian amulet, engraved in Sanskrit, that will give me hold over my patron. Last I heard, a mage possessed it. You've seen it, haven't you?

;Has your demonic boss told you what side of the wizard war he's on yet? Or if he even cares?
:Here's the thing. Our main player-base is Power. We're the ones they come to when they want more of it, and we chase down the problems they unleash, at a nice profit. I've been out of town, so I don't know specifically what happened, but my Boss fucked something up. Something's gone twisted, and I'm not exactly sure what it is. The fact that something that could weaken him is in the hands of Power is an interesting opportunity for me, but it means something ain't right in Grinning Malor town.  I'm not all the way clued in yet, but the definite sense I get is that the Boss'd be happy if I jacked up nearly any mage I got my hands on, right now. I really need to check in and find out what's going on, because I'm not sure if I've got a target on my back, but the Boss ain't answering calls right now. I'm not exactly worried about that, just annoyed and more vulnerable than I'd like to be. Of course, Tetch would pick this time to send me into something as muscle. Bastard. He knows exactly what he's doing.

;Also on a scale of "If it benefited me and the opportunity presented itself" to "I have several detailed plans, here let me show you" how much do you want to kill Tetch? Why?
:It's hard to call Gordon Fifteen a friend, but he looked out for me, in his own way. I'm pissed Tetch took him out, but it's not like I haven't seen it before. Tetch is an utter bastard, and I'd love to see him squirm and hard, but his one redeeming factor is that he's a pretty straight shooter. It's all bastard with him. He wants to turn the Earth into a Hellhole, and he plays by the rules in doing it. There's far worse things in Hell to deal with. Much more confusing things. Much more seductive things. So, yeah, if the opportunity presented itself I'd have to think long and hard about not taking the motherfucker out. I'd take immense pleasure in it, but I probably wouldn't want to deal with whatever replaced him. At least I can deal with Tetch. Bastard.

;Oh and has anyone briefed you on Evgeny / what you're doing here?
:Yeah, right. I got the name, but nothing else. I don't even know who I'm supposed to be helping, just that I'm helping out a new friend of Tetch's. I don't get the sense that he wants me to fail, exactly; on the contrary, I think he actually wants this to go well, like maybe he's got his fingers into a new recruit. But he's definitely enjoying using his leverage over me to test me. No, I had to go out and find things out the hard way. The specific contract Tetch has on me doesn't include making things easy on me, and Tetch always plays by the book. Like I said, asshole. Welcome to the country club.
