Aces

Mephistopheles speaks to the sandy haired man, Ace.
€œWhat can I do you for?€ Ace asks with a completely deadpan voice. Mephistopheles asks him about night crystals and bike riding Gifted.
€œNight crystals? You get €˜em in jewellery, so what?€ Ace replies. €œI can only think of three bike riding gifted. Ed and Dave were in here earlier, and there€™s one other guy. Don€™t know his name, but I think he€™s the leader of a gang called the Shadows. He never stays here for long so I don€™t know much about €˜im.€

Meanwhile, Stomper has struck up a conversation with the golden skinned woman.
€œOh, yes I know a bit about night crystals,€ she says. €œI€™m something of a collector,€ she continues, showing off a pair of earrings. To Stomper they look like diamonds, but he€™s no jeweller. He goes on to ask about the Shadows.
€œThe who?€ she asks, puzzled. €œOh, wait. Weren€™t they an old band? Can€™t say I€™ve heard any of their stuff, sorry.€
