Eddie was happy to throw himself back into the responsibilities of Second City. While it didn't have the hands on nature of the carnival, there were a lot of logistical work he needed to figure out. How many guards do we need on the town's edge? Where is our fresh water coming from? When can we get traders in town this week? All riddles that needed moving and shaking and deals to come true. And then there were other responsibilities. Strange ones.
It was days after the party that he heard about Jack. A woman in a cloak and a masked stepped into his office from nowhere and delivered a message. It was simple. A group that many considered to be sages had found Jack and were working on him. What working meant, he had no idea. But the mysterious group was so respected by Second City, Eddie knew only a fool would go charging in to find Jack. Let them do their work, the woman in the cloak advised, and Eddie promised to comply.
Now, he was sitting below the Old State House, enjoying a Second City gazette run by a woman and her little sister from their shack. It was mostly news about the bigger parts of Second City, rumors of clones with microchips in their heads, hidden treasures below the marketplace, injustice happening everywhere. Eddie was dressed exactly how everyone described the mayor of Karma's Bite. Black suit, shiny shoes, hair slicked back. On his black tie over a black shirt was a glittering purple diamond tie clip. The only bit of color he had on him in a town full of neon.
