Otto followed the others to the other side, staring with a flat expression at the Duty Free standing before them. Otto would never pass for 21. The way he dressed, talked and looked screamed I'm a punk teen.
"I vote Marcus." He said deadpan, "He's the one who got us all up. Let him get arrested."

"Yo dudes," a questionable looking man, who had been standing there, minding his own business really, walked over to the trainees. "S'up? I heard talking, you kids need some favours?"

Questionable man was questionable, and Cass immediately made a face. What time in the morning was it? Why was this guy hanging around? Why was her approaching a group of teenagers like he wanted to be helpful? Was he interested in her rack? Maybe he was a cannibal and was going to put them all into his van and drive away somewhere to go on about lotion and skin and stuff.
She didn't really like that idea, to be honest.
"Are you a cop?" Cass asked immediately, not a doubt in her mind as she scooted further into the group of boys.

Marcus knew it was a dumb thought but- "You all realize we have weapons and we're the only ones with FEAR shields right?"
As ******** THE POLICE
"Anyway, if you guys are going to be pansies about booze, you clearly have never enlisted the aid of those of a higher station. I mean really guys, don't you know anything about getting booze?" Not everyone had a brother ho liked to get alcohol on the weekends. Marcus forgot that.
As if in an answer to their hopeless prayers, a man of possible questionable moral integrity approached them. "....A large favor. With a possible large payment for the rendering of a certain favor." Cass was given sigh. Because would admit they were a cop. Oh Cass, your naivety was always a fast way into his heart.

Cass looked at Marcus. "....I've never been near alcohol in my life." she said flatly. Well..."Okay, I've never come within arm's reach of it..." Cass had never drunk alcohol. h-Had Marcus? That kind of went into the file along with 'been arrested' in her knowledge of him and earned more awe from the younger hunter.
He was so badass.
But Cass was also biased as all hell.

"I've had a drink before," said Gale mildly, sticking his hands into his pockets as he eyed the rather...seedy looking man with an expression of great suspicion. "The legal drinking age in England is eighteen, but if you're younger than you can drink with an adult present."
"Also I wouldn't recommend threatening the maybe-cop. Just a thought."

"Whoah, whoah wait kids, okay a couple of rules." He held up one finger. "Rule one, one order at a time." A second finger. "Rule two, you pay me cash upfront. And rule three, you wait right here for me, got it?"
And then there was his hand sticking out, palm up. "That'll be twenty bucks upfront man, and your list, and then the cost of of whatevs."
It looked like having someone a little over age there was something of a business at around this particular area.

Cash.
The guy wanted ********. He had brought his card, not cash. ********. The ATM was right by the shop door. <******** crisis mode. Or... he could. Well- Taking off his coat, he handed it to Cass. Nodding to the man he figured he had nothing to lose. Except maybe pride. And money. "I have my card but if you don't mind a small wait I'll get the cash. Pulling the list out, he gave it to Gale. "Talk about prices while I get the cash. And don't worry, I will have enough cash." Because he didn't buy much for himself.
Going over to the ATM, he began to punch in the numbers. $150 seemed enough right?
Hint: Marcus had only bought cheap beer.

Cass took Marcus's coat and draped it over her own shoulders. His coat was warm, probably because he'd just been in it, which was nice when she herself was not as warm, just contently settling into it and watching him as he walked off. Still, she didn't feel comfortable putting any amount of money into the hands of a stranger, especially for a list as..extensive as what Julie had given them.
That was like..100 bottles of booze, she swore. That was a lot of alcohol!
... She still wasn't sure how they were going to carry all of that, to be honest. Never the less, she looked at the list that had been given to Gale over his shoulder, frowning at it.
No matter what way she looked at it, that was a lot of alcohol.
She had a feeling there was going to be no way to avoid it at the Christmas fiasco.

The list was...
...long.
And very specific. Gale eyed it carefully, scratching his cheek idly. Mulled eggnog, wine, cider, vodka, champagne..
Marcus, apparently, did not have any cash with him, heading off towards the ATM, and Gale glanced over a the rest of the hunters, trying to figure out what exactly to do. He cast a look towards Otto as if to say you seem like the type to drink booze, then sighed, pushing the list into Ryan's hands as he marched up to the man. Digging into his pocket, he pulled out a slightly crumpled twenty and held it out to the man.
"Marcus, you might want to get out...er, a lot," said Gale. "And, er, that probably goes for the rest of us too. Seems we'll have to pony up a lot of bank here."
He turned back to the man.
"Absinthe will probably be the most pricey, so let's start with that. How does forty sound?"

Otto cast a glance at Gale, his eyebrow rising high. He sees you judging him, Gale. He sees you.
Though Gale was right, Otto was indeed no stranger to alcohol, but was in a similar boat as Marcus; He only knew the cheap beer type stuff. All this fancy named gobbledygook was total Greek to him.
At Gale's request, Otto let out a sigh. He barely had any money left after Christmas shopping for the girls. "Yeah yeah..." Otto grouched, fishing around his pants pocket for his card.

Dakota was laying back as he watched the more intermediate Trainee's take over, considering the situation, they didn't have to do much. But this guy was super suspicious and Dakota didn't want to trust him.
But then he thought about Julie back at the facility and sighed.
"Uh guys, I spent all my money on Christmas shopping. Haven't exactly been part of the Corp. long enough not to." He rubbed his face before tapping the list, "And I have never heard of these things." Odd considering he was a dandy flirtatious 17yr old. Then again, he grew up on Native american reserve. Tobacco's were more his thing...and gambling.

Cass fished through her own jacket pockets when Gale pulled out the twenty. She didn't exactly carry money around with her all the time, but... "I've got a twenty too.." she said, pulling the slightly crumpled bill out of her back pocket and wondering how long it had been there. She hadn't been handling cash recently... was this one of those bills that was so clean because it had gone through the wash like.. a billion times?
Ha ha, laundered money.
Either way, she stacked that on top of that Gale had. Which left them with $40 between them and whatever Marcus brought back. Seriously, this mission was a pain. She wondered if she should just go inside and ransack the place. It seemed like a viable option and her brain was actually halfway through the thought before Nicodemus mentally bitchslapped her to stay where she was.
"Wish I'd brought my wallet with me. This would be easier in that case." She easily had a couple of grand on that. Easily. She hadn't spent all of her gift-giving money as she'd shopped for like..5 people, it seemed like. Spent good money on 'em too. Still...
"Note to self: Future missions will require at least one legally aged individual..." she mumbled to herself.

Returning with cash, Marcus realized that- well they were pitching in. Maybe he wouldn't have to break bank. He really was skeptical. He figured a text to Julie couldn't hurt. Even if she probably would just reply with : ) Zoomutt Was an undercover hunter supposed to meet us here? We're underage, and a bit lacking in anyone able to buy booze. He expected : ) to start flooding his inbox anytime soon.

"Why would I?" Personally, Ryan hated the stuff. The smell alone was enough to put him off even thinking of trying it. So no. He had never had no knowledge of getting booze, other than the legal way.
"Whoa wait! You're going to believe this guy--just like that? What if he takes the money and just leaves? Or better yet, leaves AND rats us out?" He asked, stuffing his hand, along with the list into a pocket, keeping a firm grip on the piece of paper. A small precaution in case the list decided to fall out on him. "No offense," He motioned to the shady looking stranger. "but you're more than suspicious."
