Griss Twist was an obnoxious name at best on a tattered, blood-stained map before Wichita had set foot in the neighborhood. While not entirely comfortable, this was the first place she had been without feeling wildly uncomfortable. With her new-found ability to relax, she made a point to make a few calls she had been meaning to. One to Martha Jones to make something resembling a plan to meet up. One to a new contact that had been given to her by someone she'd rather not think about; he had led her to believe that this woman could provide her with consistent work. From what Wichita had seen of Cindy, she wasn't so sure.

Wichita considered herself tough shit through and through, but had learned that when it came to otherworldly beings and creatures that she could be crushed in an instant. This healthy respect for other life forms and perspective on where humanity stood on the multiversal food chain was humbling. It allowed her extra percentages to add her overall survival rate, a most coveted upper-hand that she had been hoarding since puberty.

It was armed with this knowledge that Wichita arrived at a building haphazardly placed at the end of a dead-end alleyway. The establishment resembled a Streamline Moderne art deco dining car that had been neglected cosmetically in favor of brutal overuse. The neon lights flickered ominously on the exterior, but once inside, she found it rather pleasant. The tile on the bar was scrubbed clean -- or at least, it appeared to be in the dim mood lighting -- and the present company was sparse enough to keep an eye on. An old jukebox crooned an eerie tune that left her with a spray of goosebumps across her entire body. Wichita opted take a seat at a small, round, dilapidated, table decoupaged with countless images of eyeballs ripped from magazines and newspapers. After unholstering her shotgun from her leg, she placed the butt of it on the ground, her hand on the barrel. Kicking one leg up on an extra chair, she scanned the bar, and waited.

Griss Twist. Cindy has a soft spot for the neighborhood only because it's where she first lived when she came to Baedal. Of course that first place got burned to the ground, but the person who caused that little issue was dealt with, messily as the very least, by Cindy so it's all good now. Besides, her new place is much better and with her skills in wheeling, dealing, and batting her eyelashes, she can afford the rent and her shoe habit.

Speaking of fashion, Cindy stands out in this shithole not because she's the bright blonde that she is, but that she's dressed to the nines in head to toe red. She looks like a woman on a mission, a woman who looks like she's on a date. She is neither of these right now. She's a woman killing time in between whatever she fills her days with. Being a boss isn't her thing; there's a reason why she's never at the shoe store in Fabletown. But she, unfortunately, likes Rex for some insane reason. He gave her money. The least Cindy could do was size up his friend.

On the phone, she was short and direct to the point with this Wichita girl and Cindy is the same in person, walking directly to the table they had decided on and sliding into a chair just before she lights up a cigarette wordlessly. She eyes Wichita up and down with her gun out for all and sundry.

Oh. A newbie. A baby whatever she's trying to be. Cindy's not impressed. And goddamn it, she hated this song when it originally came out and she hates it now.
