It was a long pause as he thought about wheat might be appropriate. He finally nodded

"I think I have what you want."

The memory would be during the height of the war between the Revs and the MK's in the Hive ward a couple of years back. The Ward was engulfed in smoke and fires. Mercykiller troops were marching through the streets and Anarchists were utilizing rooftops and ruins to launch assaults. Phoenix had led an attack on a heavily armed unit. Bombs were tossed, crossbow bolts were returned. Hand to hand ensued and both sides limped away with heavy casualties. His leg had suffered bad burns but he had managed to get away with a handful of MK badges as a reward.

The entire fight probably took about 30 minutes or so and would be considered pretty intense at the time.

The demon hands him an empty stone, and Phoenix feels the memory forced to the front of his mind as he is forced to re live it all. When it is finished the stone he holds glows with a swirling mist inside of it. The demon takes the stone from him and her eyes flicker as she views the memory. Being the jaded creature she is there is little reaction her face but she seems satisfied.

"I think we have a deal. Where can I deliver what you want in return?"

He would give the details required about the memory of a Modron, the number on the stone, etc. and would tell her to ensure it was delivered as quickly as able to a specific drop-off point one of his cells uses.

When the deal was complete, he would skip the second half of the show and simply wander into the street... the drink untouched.

By the following evening Phoenix would be informed the stone is waiting for him.

They'll get rewarded for spending a night in the drunk tank. Until then, it was time for Nix to go get a few drinks for himself

After picking up the stone, he arranges for a couple of crews to get into an argument (escalating into a brawl with bottles thrown, etc). outside the target house. He knows the Reds have it under control so he needs something to want to pull them out for just a minute.

Oh, he could easily enough just sneak in and out as he a fully skilled Shadow dancer but you can never take too many chances

Phoenix lies in wait outside of the House. Two Harmonium wait outside. Soon the first group arrives. The Harmonium watch them but do not approach. As the second group arrives one of the first starts to sing a song, something bawdy about Morwel of The Court of the Stars. One of the second group who seems to have celestial blood takes offence and soon insults are exchanged and then blows. They start to really go at it and Phoenix begins to wonder if they remember it is meant to be a ruse.

"Get out here we have trouble!"

One of The Harmonium shouts and three more rush from the house as they begin subduing the brawl.

It's at about that time that Nix slithers through the open door, using each and every shadow to it's fullest. He doesn't plan on staying long, only long enough to place the stone and return to whatever it is he fills his time doing.

Should it all go good and well, he's simply going to leave it under a cabinet, just under it enough to see the edge, like it was either hidden by the occupant or rolled under there.
