Maybe I'll play Cyberpunk 2077 some more. My brother maxed out my character a year and a half ago. Haven't seen him since. Miss him.

Bio

”Mr. Dawson, why don't you have a seat?” He said, gesturing to the brown leather chair he had his hand resting on.

The men behind Adel stepped forward. They each placed a firm hand around his upper arms, half-guiding, half-dragging Adel to the seat. If Adel struggled in any way, their plan would have been quickly subduing him with a blow to the cheek - but besides tensing up, the man didn’t fight.

They shoved Adel into the seat, twisting it so it faced the mirror. Vincent still had that smirk on his face as he picked up a bowl of shaving cream and an applicator brush on the counter.

Slowly, methodically, Vincent applied shaving cream to Adel's face while speaking.

”Now, my men tell me that you and your spies have decided to make it your home in White Pine. Not that I care too much about that.”

He set down the bowl, picking out a barber's blade instead. He opened it, the fresh gleam of a clean, sharp blade within.

“What I really care about, though, is who set you up to do this.”

The blade pressed against Adel's neck as Vincent leaned over, staring at the man through the mirror.

”So, what'll it be, Canary? You gonna sing?”

"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.

"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.

Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."

"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."

She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."

She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.

"You'll have to duel me for them."

IC post is over halfway done, very excited for Monday. ^_^
@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.

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



The post looks great, nicely done! :> I'll wait on Click This before posting, then.
@Aeolian Okay no worries! Thanks for letting me know. :)
@Sanity43217 Okay no worries, thank you for letting me know. Good luck with your role plays. :)
This is why NM leans toward manipulating/brutalizing PC's instead of killing them. It's much better to have a consequence like getting kidnapped or losing a territory instead of straight up dying. ^_^

I have lost characters in the past. It's always sad, lol. But it happens and that's okay. Secondary characters get to carry that trauma, which is always nice.
