Within the walls of an abandoned café, a scheme begins to form, the take down of one of the most prominent figures of the city’s underworld will soon go underway. Preparations are happening, and you’re at the heart of it. After your short date with Celia concluded, she asked for a favor, to force her biological father to face justice: the head of the mafia, Gianluigi Youhao. You’ll be handsomely repaid for your efforts.The assault team consists of 5 key members: You, Aurora Dewitt, Charlotte ‘Crossbill’ Summers, Celia Youhao (?), and Beanie Hedgehog. Beanie Hedgehog consists of 4 key members: A Beanie Hedgehog doll, Veranica Mouseson, Liu Yeong, and Lydie Zexian all inside a trench coat. During your review of the potential threats, it was revealed that one of the biggest ones is the man you defeated in a Go-Kart race, ‘Titan #1’ Jielun Zexian is Loud Lydie’s brother. Small world.Shortly after a barrage of questions for the Golden Peak Academy Ace (that went unanswered), the second degree sisters returned to get up to speed with what had been discussed.To recap quickly, the three threats discussed so far are: -Former Assembly Member and Current Ka-Shing lackey — Joe Riddle.-Former Assembly Member, Former Prisoner who you liberated during the raid, and Supposed Member of the Youhao Clan — Sasha Langdon.-Lydie’s brother, Big Cinephile, and the Number 1 Titan of the Youhao Clan — Jielun Zexian.What a cast. Good thing that you (potentially) don’t have to deal with them. Either way, the meeting continues!“Why did everyone act like I was done explaining?!” Vera was caught in the middle of her explanation. “Huh?! My brother wasn’t the main dish?! This is beyond disrespectful, Veranica.” Lydie feels insulted.“Uhm, and well, Rora and Celia showed up. We had to start from the beginning.” Resting Laptop Table Liu says.“I still can’t believe we’re sisters!” Aurora is hugging Celia like trying to make up for the lost years.“Y-You’re so clingy. And, to be clear, I didn’t know either...” Celia grumbles. “Still, we’re not blood related.” “I already told you, if you’re sis with Gisella and Pammachio, you’re sisters with me!” Rora scolds.“W-Why do I feel like the younger sibling…?” Celia uses her third beanie to hide her embarrassment.“I feel like I missed an emotional moment...” You wanted to watch it...“Let’s go full throttle so we don’t miss anything else!” Crossbill wants everyone to focus. “Who wants to take it from here?”
>>6343878The mission is upon you…What’s next?>Lay down the plan. Celia will give the specifics.>Ask for the missing threats. Let Vera finish what she started.>Assess the team’s feelings. Lydie’s brother is in trouble, Rora and Celia will take down their guardian, and Liu is anxious about skipping classes. >If this is a city-wide event, make sure everyone outside the team is okay and prepared.

This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared! (NEW) Dice Mechanic: We always roll 1d100s!Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)! When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked. Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore! The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result! Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight. Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

After listening to the initial spiel, it made you a tiny bit worried about what can happen to everyone in the city. You need to make some time and make sure everyone outside the team is okay and prepared.“Hold on, I need to make some calls. If this is a city-wide event, maybe we should call everyone we’re concerned about to warn them.” You make a sensible decision.“Absolutely, better safe than sorry.” Crossbill agrees with the idea. “Rodney won’t mind this call, hahaha!”“Rodney the Roo…” Vera squints her eyes in disappointment. “Whatever, I’m going to call that ditsy head I call mom.”“Ohoho~, my brother would love to know we’re on our way.” Lydie pulls out her phone too.“Don’t you dare call him, you fool!” Vera snatches the rich girl’s phone.“I-It was nothing more than a joke, Veranica! Appreciate my sense of humor!” Lydie wants it back. The totem pole struggles.“J-Just a couple of calls.” Liu is thinking about her family. “I-I got Scarlet and most of the fan club, everyone.” “Huuuh… Is mom at you guys’ school again?” Aurora thinks about it. “Whatever, I’m calling, like, everyone anyway!”“I should make sure they’re alright…” Celia is thinking of calling Tina and Pansori... You look down to your phone and sigh. A text message isn’t going to be enough to get everyone’s attention, it’s going to be another storm of calls, you hate those but you gotta do this…
>>6343996[Part 1 – Call with Nina]First, you gotta start with the Motley Crew, most of your loved ones are involved after all… Meaning Nina! She’s the leader! You hope she has recovered from her Oozna self. She’s really weak to heat. After the usual exchange of pleasantries, you explain the situation. She not only sounds fairly receptive, but has been working on relying the message to the other members — yet there’s something off about her, but you can’t place your finger on it...“...Everything is arranged to keep Constance and everyone else safe now. Susie is a fast worker! We’re so lucky you called as soon as the break started to get this going!” Nina says enthusiastically. “You shouldn’t worry about a thing, just concentrate on the task ahead, Master. I know you said you don’t need any more help, but we have your back for whatever you need. I can do much more than cover for you here.”“Nina, did you just…?” You mumble.“Oh, and I have to thank you for sending our little angel our way. Ms. Welsh is exactly what I need after an exhausting day. Her cleaning skills are unparalleled! Plainly superb! There’s nothing plain about being superb, but you get the gist, hehe.” Nina continues talking as if she didn’t say something off. She’s talking about the fan girl you sent to her apartment to train. The Butler girl... “Both Susie and I were very impressed, even the cats loved her! A little glowing review is the least we promised for her. She told us she’s working hard to become someone you can rely upon, and I say she’s already more than capable to help Master out!”“Nina, you did it again…” You mumble again.“Hmm? Did what? Am I rambling too much?” Nina sounds confused.You need to respond accordingly...[The prompt for your response will be at the end of the post.]
>>6343998[Part 2 – Call with Carol.]Second, you need to communicate with a close member of the Ka-Shing Corporation, someone who you will never scout for your idol agency. Someone you had a relationship with a long time ago… You need to make sure her and her family are secured! You let your ex-wife know the details about what’s soon to happen in the city.“I appreciate the decency of letting me know about this after what you did to me last time. It’s not like the least you can do or anything. I’m still being teased by my entire family ‘cause of this, you know?” Carol doesn’t sound too thrilled, meaning she’s being honest. “Anyway, thanks, but I’m kinda in the know. I work with K, who has a working relationship with these assholes.”“Not thrilled about this business venture?” You ask.“Yeah, no. I told him to pull out the aid, but he didn’t listen.” Carol sighs. “They’re dead meat, even if Gerard is screaming that they have a chance ‘cause of the morons we sent. Strategically speaking, it’s a bad move to their allies.”“Who did they send?” You need to know more.“I trust that you’re on my side, okay? You can’t do what you did to me then pretend you don’t love me. We’re bound by the hip now, ex-hubby.” Carol grumbles. “And if that’s not enough for ya, you’re gonna break Pannie’s stupid little heart if you betray me, and I know those hugs weren’t for show either, perv.”“Right, right. I’m your ally. You wanted me to say that?” You scratch the back of your head. “As long as your family, you, and Vivi are fine. My work is done.” “Cool, hold onto that idea, because I have something to say that I know you wanna hear. First answer me, what’s your angle in this situation? Do you want to end the mafia? Or the white flames? I can tell you’re scheming something, and you know how I feel about a good plan.” Carol wants to be in your little scheme…Carol is sharp enough to know you’re up to something big, and she can help… [The prompt for your response will be at the end of the post.]

[Part 1 — Call with Nina]But what is the best response you can give? Maybe you don’t need to overthink this, and go with the flow. You can always relax with your lovely maid! “Rambling? No, not at all. Forget I said anything.” You ignore the elephant in the room. Just like Nina, the elephant is pretty, but must stay unnoticed for now.“You can be honest with me, master. I can take it!” Nina wants you to confide in her. After everything you’ve gone through, it’s natural she wants an open conversation.“Relax, I didn’t mean anything by it.” You reassure.“Are you sure? I know I’ve been less than stellar the last few days, with me passing out during our meet ups. Claudia and Kata have teased me a lot about it.” Nina feels self-conscious. “I don’t sound groggy, do I? I don’t want everyone to go like ‘Classic Nina, always sleeping near Master!’ or something to that effect. Or worse, you thinking that I don’t want to spend time together...”“Trust me, Nina, you sound like your usual energetic self.” You chuckle. “I’m glad! I’ve been feeling so lively lately that I feel like I’m getting mixed signals.” Nina relaxes. “But I have taken enough of your time. Go and do your best! I’ll be ready for anything you need. Oh, and if it serves as an incentive, Susie and Claudia want us all to hang out again! Make up for what happened last time! That’s it, I gotta go! Love you, Master!”Nina hangs up after sending you a kiss…You don’t think you’ll be able to make that meeting today, but maybe at a different opportunity…[Part 1 — End.]
>>6344410[Part 2 — Call with Carol]You have a problem with their plans, their meathead is in another location…“Honestly, before I can answer that, I need to bring up something else first...” You act like you’re going to say something uncomfortable. “Be upfront. You never treated me like the delicate flower I am.” Carol wants to hear it.“My sources told me that Ka-Shing is interested in saving Flint’s ass. But he ain’t where Ka-Shing thinks he is.” You reveal. Crossbill offhandedly told you all about Ka-Shing’s plans to attack the White Flames, just a minute after Celia and Aurora returned from their own talk. Former Prisoner Brutus snitched. He did what he said he was going to do during the post-escape party...“How do you know…? Whatever, I’d be surprised if we don’t have a rat between all our mercenaries.” Carol has a new headache to worry about. “Where is Flint then?”“An alien abducted him. The alien.” You half-joke.“...I’m going to hang up.” Carol sounds upset.“Oh right, you never got your memories back of that incident…” You act mysterious.“Huh? What memories? Oh no, this is going to be a thing, isn’t it...?” Carol doesn’t like where this is going.“It already is. You have a minute? This can take some time to explain.” You ask.“...Stick to the Flint stuff. I need to make sure Vivi doesn’t get in trouble.” Carol has bigger fish to fry.“Is she involved?” You don’t like where this is going.“In the assault for saving private Flint? It was her damn idea.” Carol frowns.“Is she like gone now?” You’re getting worried.“We’re waiting for the bombshell to drop. Vivi ain’t going in guns blazing, it isn’t her style. The one time she did, a whole damn building collapsed on her.” Carol points out.“Sounds rough.” You wonder how Vivienne is even alive, but who are you to talk about surviving unlikely scenarios? “Tell me what I can do to stop her.”
>>6344411“I don’t know, dude. You got two routes, we convince K, or we convince her. Both like evidence, and your word isn’t as weighty as you think it is. So it’s the same pitfall.” Carol argues.“Why not? I thought those two trusted me.” You feel offended.“Hon, your timing is so odd. I know you’re a sweet pancake who is concerned about everyone’s safety, but to everyone with half a brain, this couldn’t be more suspicious.” Carol tells it like it is.“How so? What do I stand to gain from this?” You need some logic to work with.“Have you heard of a billionaire who isn’t paranoid? You tell me! Pick any reason! Maybe you want Flint for yourself, you lil’ kissy freak.” Carol gets sassy. “A-Are you throwing up…?”“T-The word *almost* carries a lot of weight in my family.” You almost gag. The whole idea of loving Flint Masterson is repulsive. Matilda would be proud.“This is why my mom always says to never play for both sides…” Carol sighs. “Look, I’m sure you can convince Vivi in a minute. But the optics ain’t good with the rest of the group if we quit out of the blue. Give me something to work with.”This is a heavier decision than you were expecting…What do you do? >Tell Carol to take Vivi off the mission and hide. You’re going to deal with the fallout later. Ka-Shing Corporation will fall sooner than later. >Send someone to cause trouble at Ka-Shing Corporation to distract them from their stupid mission. >Call Big K yourself. He owes you a big favor for what he did to you and your family...>Huh, maybe call the Alien and make him confess…? Show a pic of Flint…?>Write In.(Only reply of the day, we continue tomorrow! Also, I forgot to clarify, but we will call Vivi and Matilda too (if it makes sense)!)

>>6344414>Call Big K yourself. He owes you a big favor for what he did to you and your family...
[Part 2 — Call with Carol]There’s so much you can do before it starts eating your time. You better rely on Carol to convince them than doing more, or else your own mission will be in peril.“Just tell them. They don’t have to believe me if they want to, but I can rest easy that I warned them.” You’ll have to pass on going the extra mile. “I figured. Not that I blame you.” Carol probably respects more that you drew a line than bending over backwards. “Just do me a favor and give Vivi a call. I overplayed my Johnny card with her, and she won’t listen. I’m sending you her number in a sec.”“What did you do...?” You raise an eyebrow to nobody.“I told her to eat her veggies ‘cause you’d want her to, or that she should get some sun cause it’d make you happy. Stuff like that. Works great with Pannie and Mom, not so much with our gloomy girl.” Carol half-jokes. You can’t imagine Vivi not liking vegetables. Maybe there’s one in particular she doesn’t like?“That sounds funny.” You admit.“It is funny! But, oh boy, she’s a Debbie downer.” Carol sounds frustrated. “So, are you gonna tell me what you’re planning on doing? White flames? Mafia?”“I’m focusing on taking down Youhao.” You inform. “If his plan is to hide, well, I won’t let him. I know where his base is, and how to bring him out.” Supposedly, Celia knows how to.“You got it a bit easier since K only sent Joe over there. You know Joe? He’s rather unassuming, but the longer the fight goes, the better his chance of winning. His ability causes cramps, I heard it’s the worst.” Carol informs. “Smack him on the back of the neck like you always do, and it shouldn’t be an issue. I doubt you’ll get caught anyway. Even if you did, I doubt he’ll chase after you.”“I’ll keep that in mind.” You write a mental note for your mental archive.“If Gerard was listening, he’d say you should be glad it’s not Wozart. He can’t stop gushing about him. I know he’s going to City Hall ‘cause the timeless man was asking directions.” Carol implies a potential danger evaded.“What’s his power?” You ask.“He punches people with music. That’s the description I heard. No, I don’t understand it either. Gerard keeps parroting how strong he is, so take it as you like. You know how much a moron that guy can be, but he ain’t joking about who to fear.” Carol really doesn’t like Gerard. No surprises there. “Now, the next bit, you didn’t hear this from me. This is top secret stuff. Okay? It’ll sound insane.” “Mouth is shut.” You raise your hand like you’re swearing for court…“A secret international assassin syndicate is backing Youhao, they were at odds with each other, but they don’t want more stuff to leak – so they sent one of their elite members to protect his skin.” Carol whispers.
>>6344883 “I’d love to tell you more, but not even K has a clue about this group or how it operates.” Carol adds.“I see…” You think that Youhao has more blackmail than you found… “It sounds straight out of a fable, but K wouldn’t act the way he did if it wasn’t a threat.” Carol sighs. “...Just don’t die out there, you hear me, ex-hubbie? I mean it.”“Crystal clear, ex-wife. It’s nice to hear from you again! Send your family my regards.” You end this conversation on a pleasant note. Next step is to call Vivienne…[Part 2 — End.]Part 3 — Call with Vivienne.]Jumping from one call to another, as Carol explained, you’re calling Vivienne’s work phone directly, she’s going to pick up in an instant. Be ready.“Neuville speaking. What is it?” A professional Vivienne answers the phone.“Hey, Vivi, it’s me! You have a minute?” You say as tenderly as humanly possible. This will surely put her in a good mood to discuss her plans.“……….Guh?!” Vivienne yelps as you hear the phone bouncing on the floor. She probably dropped it. And she probably picked it up now! …And she most definitely hung up.That was awkward.What do you do?>Call again. Force Vivienne to talk with the dummy (You.)>Call Carol. Ask her for pointers. Vivi hung up on you!>Send a fabulous text message that doesn’t read like a scam. Let her know about where Flint is this way.>Write In.(Only Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow.)

Part 3 — Call with Vivienne.]This probably was a mistake… on Vivi’s part! She pressed the wrong button, what a silly goose. You’ll call her again and make it a video call to boot. That surely will cheer her up.“Neuville speaking...” Vivienne sounds wary. Either she’s expecting a call or has to answer to any query, otherwise there’s no reason to keep answering the phone without hesitation. Her camera is totally dark. “It’s me again! I think you hung up by mistake.” You take no offense.“Who gave you this number?” Vivienne softly speaks.“Take a guess.” You get playful.“Carol...” Vivienne takes the hint immediately. “I’m far too occupied to spend time talking, I—”“Sorry, before you continue, this is a video call. Can you pull your phone out of your ear?” You guess this is why you can’t see a thing. As to why you thought about making it a video call? Fun. That’s the answer most of the time.“…” Vivienne rushes to some place. After an awkward minute of listening to her walk, Vivienne’s face appears on camera, it’s a mixture of half-annoyance and anxiousness. She’s in a pristine bathroom stall for some peace and quiet. Also, you were wrong, the phone was in her pocket. Not an important detail, but Vivi loves her fancy earpieces.“There we go! Hey there!” You like what you see! “Speak.” Vivienne is too shy to stare at the screen for too long, yet she tries to act imposing.“Sorry, I couldn’t visit to check on you, had a busy hectic week.” You start by apologizing. “But if you have a free day soon, maybe we can set a date to meet up?”“Don’t get the wrong idea. What happened last time was a one time thing. A mista—” Vivienne tries to shut you down, but...You hear a loud camera noise, like coming out straight from the phone loud. It makes you think she grabbed a screenshot, but with her earpieces, it shouldn’t be this loud. Unless Vivienne managed to do the impossible. Maybe you heard it from somewhere else!“…” Or maybe not. Vivienne starts blushing harder than ever before, you heard the desperate tapping of her thumbs on the device… Vivienne doesn’t look like she’s tech illiterate, so it may be an honest mistake...What do you do?>“Vivi, you okay?

[Part 3 — Call with Vivienne.]In the sake of fairness, you don’t know if the click camera sound comes from taking a screenshot. You’d be naive to think otherwise, but no real proof.“Vivi, you okay? Why did you stop talking?” You tilt your head.“N-No reason.” Vivienne tries to maintain her professionalism as she locks in again. Problem is that she stays as red as she started. “Forgive me, I lost my train of thought. Continue.”“You look so cute when you’re so red.” You have a little chuckle. She is adorable to your eyes.“E-Enough trivialities.” Vivienne wants to hang up. “Get them out of your system now.”“You look great in business wear, by the way.” You wink. You love winking. “I’m good.”“…” Vivienne takes a deep breath to recuperate. “...Why did you call?”“I need to tell you about something important. Carol said you wouldn’t believe her if it came from her, so here we go…” You clear your throat to explain everything... You’re done telling Vivienne about Flint’s whereabouts and kidnapping!“An alien abduction?” Vivienne is utterly unimpressed by your terminology.“If you knew what he looked like, you wouldn’t sound confused.” You put it out there.“He certainly sounds familiar…” Vivienne holds her forehead. She’s trying to remember something. “Regardless, your information is well-received.”“You trust me?” You feel so happy!“A decent amount, I suppose.” Vivienne clears her throat. Hints of red appearing again… She tends to blush a lot. Huh?“What are you planning on doing, if I may ask?” You heard there would be trouble if she doesn’t play ball.“Find this Alien.” Vivienne puts it in simple terms. “Hmm, not sure if you should.” You say. “You didn’t answer if you wanted to set up a date to meet up, and I need to look as sharp as you are by that day. So?”“If you insist.” Vivienne… agrees?! This comes as a surprise! “I’ll humor you to show my limited appreciation. Tell me when.”Vivienne is a pretty strict woman…[The prompt for your response will be at the end of the post.]
>>6345397[Part 4 — Call with Matilda]If there’s someone else who is interested in the mafia’s downfall, it must be Matilda! A big history and all. You need to make sure she’s alright!“Hey, Mat, it’s me!” You always say that. You need to find a better opening.“I’ve been thinking about you. A lot.” Matilda throws a direct hit.“C-Cool, there’s something I need to tell you first.” You feel like you’re going to go in a strange direction if you let her talk.“It can wait.” Matilda stops you. A thought crosses your mind, isn’t she in class? She’s talking too freely. “I heard about your exploits. You defeated the so called #1 Titan with ease. If this doesn’t deserve a reward, I would fail in my role as mentor and friend.”“A reward? What kind of reward?” Oh no, you’re too treat minded to ignore this proposition!“It’s your call. I know everything about you, Johnny Ando. So no request will surprise me.” Matilda is way too proud of you!This sounds exciting![The prompt for your response will be at the end of the post.]

[Part 3 — Call with Vivienne.]You can go on a date whenever. Except today. Maybe you can work something out with Carol. You’re going to propose that.“Ask Carol when she’s free. We’ll do it as a friend party!” You know the saying, the more the merrier!“Un… Understood.” Vivienne is sighing mentally. She doesn’t want to deal with the idol.“Something happened?” You feel like the air left the room. Or rooms? It’s a phone call, so is that how this works? Ehm, you have to be pedantic inside your thoughts. “Don’t mind me, it happens every time I’m reminded of her existence.” Vivienne doesn’t mince her disdain.“Maybe a change of scenery will make you look at Carol more fondly!” You feel like they only interact when there’s trouble. “I doubt it. But I can’t discount the possibility. She has certainly been more agreeable than I gave her credit for.” Vivienne admits she’s a harsh lady. “Cool! Then it’s the perfect time to have fun together! Keep me updated!” You like where things are going.“It was a pleasant talk, I suppose. I must get going. Farewell.” Vivienne needs to deal with the newfound issues with her plan.“Bye-bye!” You wave at the camera like an idiot! “We’ll be seeing each other soon!”And with that, you got a date and saved a pretty woman. Incredible combo… To the next call!
>>6346184[Part 4 — Call with Matilda]Would you decline an opportunity to have fun with Matilda? Have you ever spent time with her with the sole purpose of enjoying an evening together? Can you let this chance slip? The answers are pretty obvious…“Is this your way to ask for a date?” You tease. “Because I’d love to have one.” “I don’t need roundabout ways to ask for one. A reward of your choosing, it’s plainly that.” The ever-confident Matilda expresses that if she wanted a date, she’d ask for one.“Then you don’t want a date?” You ask back.“It’s your call, not mine. Whatever pleases you, I will not only go along but do it enthusiastically.” Matilda is REALLY in a good mood. “I mean, we don’t spend much time having fun together, so I think that’s what I wanna go for.” You think it’s a good idea.“Excellent. At what time today?” Matilda wants to schedule it now. Matilda, Vivienne, Celia, all the serious girls want to arrange everything immediately…“Uhm, actually, I don’t think it can be today. I actually called you because…” You find the perfect segue to the main reason for your call.You tell Matilda about all the shenanigans happening, and your plan to take down Youhao yourself.“...Perhaps I should heighten your reward. You’re doing me another great favor.” Matilda is getting new ideas.“How so?” You wonder.“My grandfather and I have been getting daily death threats that we assume come from these hooligans. Always a source of a good chuckle.” Matilda explains nonchalantly.“Why… Why didn’t you tell me before?” You’re a lil’ upset to say the least.“It’s an insignificant issue, and it hasn’t been happening long enough that it could prove worrying.” Matilda explains. This is not her usual more cautious approach.“It worries me still.” You admit. “It shouldn’t. I was informed about the Motley Crew’s defensive protocol, so I wasn’t in the dark. I didn’t have the chance to ask the details.” Matilda says. “Now, I’d be interested in forming part of your operation. Wipe these fools once and for all for bothering me and my family. But it’s your call. I understand if you see my help as overkill.”You only have yourself, Celia, Crossbill, Aurora, and Beanie Hedgehog (Lydie, Liu, and Vera) here to help… That’s a lot of hands already.What do you do?>Invite Matilda over to help. Why not? It’s more personal to her than for… huh… Liu? >Let the Motley Crew protect the Mat. You need to make sure nothing bad happens to her!>Tell Matilda to look into the City Hall operation from safety. Get some intel if things get hectic there.>Inform her in no uncertain terms that there is no room on the team, but that there is a Beanie Hedgehog out there who has always wanted to have four arms. You drive a hard bargain.>Write In.

[Part 4 — Call with Matilda]Your own quest feels meaningless compared to how personal these stories are getting. Matilda needs to make these fools pay. At least be part of the scheme!“You kidding? After listening to this, you deserve to watch their collapse in the first row with Rora and Celia. You can all bond on this.” You want Matilda over here. “Though, for a moment, I thought you could help by keeping an eye on what’s happening at city hall.”“We’ll figure it out once I’m there.” Matilda wants to help in every way she can. “Now I need to start planning on how to get out of here. I won’t take long.”“I’ll send you the address. Have a safe trip!” You confirm your newest and likely last party member for this operation!And with that the calls are done… Or are they?! They’re never done! This will happen again and again and again… You and this phone are cursed to this forever! FOREVER! But for this particular instance, it is over.
>>6346274[Part 5 — Phone Calls No More.]You all splintered over the old shop to have privacy, with your job done, you must return to where you were. It took some time, so you’d be surprised if you aren’t the last one to return.…You’re among the first people to return! What the hell is going on? Is everyone in their own hellish phone call Fire Spin? Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who knows his way through communicative hellfire and brimstone.“Hey, Johnny! You’re done calling too?” Aurora is here too! What the hell? She’s the one with 300 family members, how is she the first one to be free? “Yes, I am. I’m surprised that you are!” You recall the many Dewitts around.“Yeah, but like, I’m used to callin’ all my siblings when I’m in a pinch. I can’t always get back home to make dinner on time.” Aurora feels self-conscious. “N-Not that it happens often.”“Trust me, you don’t need to justify yourself. I’m glad to have you on board.” You pump your fist.“We’re a team, aren’t we?” Aurora is ready for a call. “I’ll come running any time you need me!”“Speaking of, Mat is joining us too. She *also* has a personal beef with these gangsters. So, I couldn’t say no.” You inform.“I got another half-kinda-sibling?!” Aurora smiles from ear to ear.“Sorry, Rora. No more secret families. I think.” You don’t know who Matilda’s father is… Not the loose thread you wanna tie today though.“Shaaame.” Aurora has a good laugh. “By the way, Johnny, you said you were going to call Steen! How is she doing?” The bunny misses her!“OH FU—”[*The Real* Part 5 — A Call with Meredith Steen.] You’re dialing Steen’s number…You have Rora by your side…You’ve done calls with Rora before…Will you do it again?Add Rora to the call?>Hell Yeah. Steen loves Rora after all! They’re super good friends!>Nah, let the bunny rest before the mission.>Write In.What kind of deal do you want to offer to Steen?>Nothing. Just give the information for free without attachments. You want Lady Steen to be okay!>Nudge Steen towards the City Hall. Perhaps having her around there will give you an edge, or information at the very least.>Nudge Steen towards Ka-Shing Tower. If everyone does the mission to save Flint, maybe you can throw a curveball at their side…>Exchange information. Ask Steen if she has any intel about your objectives, then tell her what’s about to happen.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we return most likely tomorrow!)
>>6346275>>Hell Yeah. Steen loves Rora after all! They’re super good friends!>Exchange information. Ask Steen if she has any intel about your objectives, then tell her what’s about to happen.

[*The Real* Part 5 — A Call with Meredith Steen.] You hint to Aurora to come closer, she’ll join the call with speaker on. Honey Bunny knows the dynamic, so not much else to do but wait for Steen to pick up.“Hello there! Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?” Lady Steen sounds as sociable as ever!“It’s me, Johnny! How is it going?” You start nonchalantly.“Ah, the once called Phil Noon! What a pleasure to hear from you.” Lady Steen cheerfully retorts. “Do you want to arrange a business meeting? Your services aren’t required just yet. But I feel a fruitful exchange between us.”“You can say that again. There are more pressing matters.” You nod to nothing. “Before we continue, say hi to Honey Bunny! She’s also on this call!”“Hey there, Lady Millions! Hehe! It’s been a while!” Aurora waves at the phone despite no camera being on.“Oh… Ms. Honey Bunny… Aurora, was it? Glad to hear from you as well...” Lady Steen took note of every name. Hard to keep the codenames going outside of the missions. “Can’t say I’m used to having another party sprung out of thin air at the negotiation table.”“Nah, chill, that ain’t my best suit. I wanted to hear about ya.” Aurora cheerfully says. “Like you look super interesting with the pyramid head and all.” Honey Bunny recalls Spooky’s nickname for Lady Steen.“Pyramid head? What a peculiar way to refer to my Ceremony Hat! Well then! I’ve seen your friendliness at work, this isn’t out of the ordinary. Just don’t get too close to Mr. Ando while I’m listening.” Even if Lady Steen has her qualms, she’s willing to accept having Rora around. “What’s the reason for your call, my business buddies?”“I wanna know if you have some information about the Youhao Clan. Something big is upon us, and I think it’d benefit both of us if we exchange some intel.” You say. “Besides, I’d like to warn you about the upcoming danger even if we get nowhere.”“Nowhere? The best time to cooperate is when our interests align, wouldn’t you say? A fruitful exchange is upon us.” Lady Steen is open minded. “I have resources to bargain with. One of my information brokers is a former member of that organization.”
>>6346779“Interesting, if I ask you about Gianluigi Youhao. What can you tell me?” You ask.“A former policeman turned hitman for a shadowy international assassination syndicate. After leaving their ranks to settle back into our country, he inherited an important organization within the Rokyo Clan by marrying his boss’ daughter. From there, he grew his influence until taking over the entire mafia, and forced it to carry his name.” Meredith reads from her notes. “If you’re not interested in his past but his fighting capabilities. He’s quite the marksman, a sniper by trade. I doubt he’ll pose much of a challenge to a Flame Enthusiast, but he’s no regular civilian.” Lady Steen giggles. “How is that for a start?”“No wonder he always talked about shooting people in the head when he was mad!” Aurora crosses her arms. “Damn gun nut!”“A marksman in this day and age is a rarity. At least, when it comes to our country, I suppose.” Lady Steen agrees.“That’s a good start, yeah. I’m concerned about your well-being, so I’ll trust you’re going to tell me what I need to know after I’m done talking…” You explain the mafia plot to Lady Steen! “...That’s it, be careful out there.”“A plot to take the city hall? Pokyo Lokyo in flames? How intriguing.” Lady Steen is making her own calculations. “Your assumption is quite correct, Johnny Ando, this information should be costly. Hard to say we have an even bargain so far. Tell me, on what I can illuminate you on?”Lady Steen is a fair negotiator…How do you respond?>“I wanna know who your information broker is. Plain and simple. Can I get their contact information?” You feel whoever Steen learned this from is within the mafia right now.>“Honestly, time is running out, I’d be happy that instead of exchanging information, we three go on a fun date together!” Propose fun insanity! What’s this? The third date during these calls?>“Aurora, I know you’d like to ask a question.” Honey Bunny was paying a lot of attention during the Youhao part. Maybe there’s something here that can be key for the mission.>Write In.(Only reply of the day, we continue on Tuesday most likely! Sorry for the long break, but I'll be busy!)
