"Oh I thought you'd never ask."
Rustasha'fo, or Zurg as he was, gingerly reached into one of his robe's many pockets with a decrepit, trembling hand and brought forth a slim data chip as he slid it across the table for his new agent to collect.
"That will explain all you need to know about your first assignment." He said while still nibbling on a few leftover fries. "And from now on, this will be how we meet in the future. Whenever I need to contact you, you will receive notification to come here, to Cosmo's. Don't worry, the owner doesn't mind a bit."
And to prove his point, Zurg waved a furry paw slowly at a rather portly green alien who returned the notion with a wave and a wink.

Hellboy shot a look at the owner, then quirked a brow at Zurg. "He's in on it?" he asked, dragging the chip towards him.

"He's on many things, but this is not one of them--and we shall keep it that way."
Clearly Zurg wanted this on the down-low, with as few people knowing as possible; damage control was much easier that way.
"Do you have any questions or concerns before you...accept." The Shagarakian asked with a pleasant purr and a flick of his coarse tail between his legs.

"Don't think so, no," Hellboy said, placing the chip into his PDA. "I mean, heck, I already agreed to work for you. It's way too late to turn back now."

"Eeeexcellent. I like to see an agent with backbone for once! It gets awfully droll to have cowards running about after a while." Zurg sighed wearily as he struggled to get back up.
"Welp! I better go! I can't miss my holo-bingo tournament with the folks down in Astral Meadows." The Evil Emperor cleverly hobbled up onto his cane and easily fooled the diner into thinking he was nothing more than some old, venerable fool; of which only a part was really true.
"I'll see you for a status update, Agent Red. Don't worry about keeping me posted--I will already know the results."
And with that, Rustasha'fo lethargically limped away with a crick in his back.
