[OOC] Magic in the Park (Page 5)

What do you imagine would be the situation behind them meeting? Amaya herself isn't likely to reach out, and if its work that a House wants done by a DSC squad, it probably wouldn't be work that an indie contractor would really get involved in. Kinda like how you'd hire a landscaping company to make a new garden and fence versus hiring a teenager to mow your lawn.

Yeah, that actually makes sense. I guess Mathias wouldn't really have much to do with anyone until the game actually starts.

Mathias is going to be the busiest out of all of us after a few pages though, I think. xD

And then there's Oz. An independent mage not part of an organization, who is still technically tied to his house, who is being spied on by Reina due to his father's legacy, who probably also has government eyes on him for the same reason. It is only a matter of time before someone scoops this man up once they realize what kind of magecraft he has. I can almost see him getting kidnapped by one group and then a second group "rescuing" him just for them to not release him so he's just kidnapped again.

Reina will give Oz a kidnapping loyalty card to be stamped each time. :>

@Asuras With regards to Houses getting peeps to marry into them, is it usually a House-to-House kind of thing, or is it more common for them to snag significantly capable independents into their House?@ERode

Both, but they tend to favor inter-House marriages. Deals meant to secure alliance or subsume, or otherwise to open up the potential to sharing certain discoveries. A marriage with an independent tends towards the latter, or simply due to love alone (not common).

I have to say, I find it absolutely hilarious that everyone's characters are like stunningly pretty and then we have Mathias who is just scruffy.

Wooooow, what a transformation. Mathias is ready for his glam shot now. :D

Reina's relationships are up! Please let me know if they need any changing or adding.

Macaron Kataoka
The Ashers and Kataokas had a bloody feud steeped between them, as both were eager for territory in the city. It all began when the Kataokas thought it would be a great idea to pluck off the weaker members of House Asher. In response, House Asher pushed on their territory, scoring a few blocks for themselves. They also flooded House Kataoka with spies. However, it came to a standstill when the majority of Kataokas were wiped out. Happy with their good fortune, Ashers took up more of their territory, and sent spies to watch over the remaining members.

As of recent times, Reina is aware of a spy shadowing Macaron. Watching from rooftops, going through her garbage. Aware of her nature as a ticking time-bomb, Reina has instead left her stirstick in the pot, happy to wait and watch the next generation of Kataokas.___________

“Monsters have a way of shaping you. For her, I feel a slight… camaraderie.”

__________
Amaya
Reina had seen her, once before, when she and a few members of the House were delving. Striking white light, and a dissemination of body parts. It was this same report of light that later came to her attention when members of House Aher were disappearing. 

Reina is unsure what cause of grief Amaya has, but has sent out her spies regardless. If she's found, she ought to be brought in for questioning…___________

“What drives this girl? Blessed with light, yet blindly swinging in the dark...”

__________
Mathias McGrath
The DSC. A royal pain in her behind. Reina's relationship with them is… edgy, insincere, secretive. What House dealing with espionage, kidnapping and extortion would openly and willingly work with officers specifically geared to snuffing out this kind of stuff? Nay, House Asher would much prefer to lay out red herrings for the officers to snatch up. There's only one that doesn't take the bait, though. Mathias.

It's only a matter of time until Reina and that bullheaded officer of the DSC come to a head. She'll want to be prepared for that moment, for it will go in her favour.___________

“Cops are bad news. Period.”

__________
Oz Falloch
Falloch was a notable House due to Alexander Falloch. With his disappearance, many questions have aroused. Reina had cast a ring of spies into the thralls of House Falloch, but alas, without their explosive head, the spies were reduced to one. One lonely, faithful spy to watch over Alexander's prodigy son, Ozymandias. 

And Reina watches from afar, taking pity on the lost son. However, if he's anything like his father, he will need careful, careful watching. Perhaps, in the future, a meeting would be appropriate…___________

“A tragedy, to be certain. Something good may yet come of this, however.”

Wait, Est, isn't Macaron's entire family like, almost entirely wiped out? She's basically been a hobo for the last eight years.

she also doesn't have any servants as of 8 years ago

they either died on that night alongside her family (wrong place, wrong time) or had literally no reason to continue to be around her--if they even knew she lived.

i probably should have been a bit clearer in DMs

Yea, that's fine.

It's also just of note that the Ashers would have got their territory from the Kataokas by basically beating the bottom of the totem pole--affiliates at the most. Actually trying to fight the main Kataoka family head on and take territory that was actually important before their collapse was probably the worst decision someone could make. They didn't have to follow the machiavellianisms and politic of most of the houses. They just killed your ass with car bombs and debtors with knives in real space if you intruded.

Likewise, they also didn't really care about other houses existing within their territories as long as they gave proper tribute. AKA, they would literally not care about other non-Manifest houses so long as they paid money and showed respect.

@OwO Beating the bottom of the totem pole it is, then. :) The territory taken would have been minimal, back in the day, anyway.
