The response back to Flood is swift and without the Ravnos' usual snark:
Love to.
And on that most eventful of nights, the woman is all over the place. And by "all over the place" we mean her businesses and her apartment in the city; she doesn't stray from those locations. She has much to do, businesses to keep reigned in and friends to keep an eye on.
Her dealers are given strict orders to pull back a bit; it's the simple matter of strengthening their territory. The increased hunger due to more difficulty in hunting following the bombing combined with the new freedom of being up earlier and later means that there will be greater risk to kine, and drug dealers are always a prime target because so few will miss them. Opal and Bo are told that in the wake of the bombing and some recent gang violence, they should be extra on the lookout, and that Kali is going to hire a couple bouncers for the place on a short-term basis.
Bo, of course, is told the exact reasons why: the waking early and late, what's been floating through Elysium about the car bombing. The message to her ghoul is clear: "Watch your ass." She is also told about some new dangers: a guy named Finch (with description) and Amber, the girl they ran into way back when on the street, should be steered clear of.
And then she's contacting some friends. Jade, who she may or may not have a little side deal going with, along with Lux both get the same message sent to them individually:
Keep careful, hot thing. We're all light sleepers lately and it's getting very rough and tumble out there twixt Rook and Knight.
Jack gets another text, entirely his own:
Probably not a surprise, but the goatfucker sickos on the other side are waking up early too. Seems like an Old-School problem, if you get me.
And a last message, sent to Felix:
What kind of inventory you got right now? I'd like to browse.
Love to.

"Good men don't need rules. And today's not the day to find out why I have so many."
