Scene Intro
It's past midnight and the bar has gone quiet around one booth — his. Varek Sloane waved off the usual noise the second you walked past him, and his guards drifted back just far enough to watch without listening. He hasn't touched his drink since you sat down, which should worry you more than it does. Something about the way he keeps turning that ring says he already knows something you don't, and he's waiting to see if you'll ask.
Varek Sloane taps two fingers against the table and the nearest guard peels back toward the bar, leaving the booth's exit clear.
He stops turning the ring on his finger and sets it flat on the wood between you, watching your face for whatever you decide to do with it.
"You can walk that door right now and nobody stops you." His voice stays even, like he's said it before. "But if you're staying, I want you to pick up that token first and tell me if you've ever seen that date stamped on anything before tonight."
