So they'd seek a truce a truce with the Ivory Tower-Highfair mafia to buy some time.

If I recall correctly each territory has one Mafia and one Detective faction at work? Or at least is allowed that. So backroom deals between opposing faction could be a thing?

Mafia supports a Detective in taking hold in a territory, and the Detectives willingly turn a blind eye to them unless they're directly impacted?


I like your thinking. It's one faction per territory. So if you attacked a Detective district, that detective would get pushed out. However, you could form an alliance and 'share' a district. That would just mean the resources are split between you. Backroom deals are absolutely encouraged.

@Qia [Temporary] truce/tenuous alliance?

Kind of thinking though, narratively speaking, what would motivate Detective factions to fight each other? Like I can more easily picture Mafias trying to jockey for power and ice each other.

Oh definitely. I don't forsee detectives fighting each other. I imagine they would simply do alliances or side-step around each other.

Yes exactly, or a dirty cop is discovered.

Edit: Oh, speaking of which, if anyone has ideas that they want to do, let me know as I'll be giving you something to react to. I've already changed up a few ideas in light of the alliances being made. ;)

Oh I just realized for those wanting to get info from Webb... That may be hard considering he doesn't really know how to talk.
Unless you can speak spider! (It's mainly hand motions)

Do they have thoughts in the common language? Asterion could always jump into him, have an internal conversation, and jump out.

Yeah I would think their thoughts would be in mainly common speech; possibly still a bit broken in terms of sentence structure (Which I'm excited to be writing ahah) so He'd totally be able to do that!

You up for another player? Might take a couple days for me to properly backread and write up a character thou orz

I loved High Card so this got me intrigued. If anyone knows it, I'm thinking maybe Calorie High or Queen of Hearts.

@evierose Hey! Yes, you're more than welcome to join us. I haven't seen the anime, but I get the gist of it. :)

We will be starting Monday. You're welcome to create a sheet for approval when you have some time; it's okay if you're a little late.

Yeah! Much like his speech he'd write mainly in little words; and he can get confused by like, metaphors/similes and more complex language things.
