Last thread’s synopsis is brought to you by DJ Headphones. “H-Huh? *hic* But I don’t know how to sing.” DJ Liu doesn’t know how to do a recap. “Liu. DJs don’t sing.” Vera furrows her eyebrows. This mousy lady isn’t the navigator of this team, so she should stay quiet from this point onwards.“Then allow *me* to take over. Lydie here! We’re about to embark on the 2nd stage of our magnificent plan to save the city from the gangster takeover!” The Shameless Spotlight Thief continues. “We stole their leader from his cushy throne, and huh... Question! How does this woman of iffy reputation fit in the equation?” Lydie pokes at the unconscious Sasha Langdon, who she’s carrying. They’re *not* the group driving Youhao to the police. Also, they’re driving your van.“She’s, like, super evil. So we’re taking her to Giorsal’s house, so she can take her soul away! You know, typical Gio stuff.” Aurora has a messed up image of Giorsal in her head. It doesn’t make it less accurate.“And her soul is in here, in this vacuum flask, ‘cause we have a soul snatcher on our ranks too!” Crossbill pulls out the bottle. “Brag a little, Spooks.”“W-When did you…?” Aurora didn’t realize she wasn’t carrying the vacuum flask!“Don’t call me that, bird.” Odetta frowns. “And keep your eyes on the road, or you’ll get us killed.”“Multitasking is easy, Oddie.” Crossbill whistles as she continues driving.“I can’t believe Crossbill got Xavi’d…” Aurora looks down. Being the designated driver is a worse fate than death… or being a navigator.“Who the hell is Xavi?” Odetta raises an eyebrow.“There we go! Our current situation is crystal clear.” Lydie sounds content.“F-Fine, come over. But next time, you all need to inform me of your hijinks beforehand!” Giorsal isn’t pleased, but agrees for the group to meet at her home.And like this, Lydie’s team (Crossbill, Aurora, Lydie, and Odetta) continue driving towards Giorsal’s House…
>>6365382Meanwhile, where you actually are…Inside a discreet car (no better way to describe it), you alongside your teammates (Celia, Matilda, and Roger Jackson) drive to a mysterious meeting spot to deliver the leader of the mafia to Judith. The GPS voice announcing the directions annoys your friendly cop deeply. With so many detours, it’s easy to tell why. There are way too many police barricades diverting the traffic flow from the chaos. It really gets old fast. No need to say getting there is more slow and cumbersome than normal, but you’ll bring it up to cut your poker pal some slack. Youhao is inside the back trunk, all perfectly tied up, so there’s no sense of urgency either. Still, there’s a thin veil of anxiety running rampant inside the car, and you’re the key man to break the ice…What do you do?>Ask HQ (Vera and Liu) for a city wide report! How is everyone doing?>Catch up with Roger Jackson, it’s been a while. You’re sure he has some questions…>Ask Celia what she’s planning to do now that her caretaker will be in jail.>Brag to Matilda that you upgraded her puny family technique. It’s a pretty cool move you can teach her! >Write In.

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!

>>6365384>Brag to Matilda
If you were in Roger’s boots, you’d have a bunch of questions you want answered. You’ll extend a hand and clear up all doubts.“This is far less exciting than I imagined.” Matilda looks through the windows as the traffic doesn’t lend itself to a more thematic adventure.“You don’t love traffic on a busy day? Couldn’t be me…” Roger deadpans.“Let’s chat, I bet Roger has a buttload of questions.” You leave the mic open.“Damn right I do! Don’t feel pressured to tell me a thing. That’s how my job goes, you never get answers, unless you sniff ‘em out yourself. But you gotta care first.” Roger doesn’t even try to hide his curiosity.“And do you care?” Celia crosses her arms.“I have the mafia head in my trunk, my blood ain’t crusty and dry enough to not be curious.” Roger grins. Can blood get crusty? You wish your Knowledge wasn’t furious with you to clear this up.“Then ask away! Let’s catch up.” You’re friendly!“Whose idea was this?” Roger starts simple.“Mine.” Celia raises her arm. “Long story short, I found out he had misgivings about these thug bastards, so I asked him to collaborate. J-J-Johnny was perfect for the job.” She struggles saying your name… “Ha! Good kid.” Roger smiles. “Dangerous as shit, but I’m not carrying demons in my pocket, so who am I to say? Now, what’s up with your hatred for organized crime, Johnny? I don’t wanna throw any stones, but our poker pals are — how do I wanna say this? — shady as shit.”“They threatened my friends. Matilda, Aurora, Celia. Their families too, in one or another. They were dangerous. Besides, they were fish small enough for me and Crossbill to use for practice.” You explain.“P-Practice? Practice for what?” Roger sounds concerned. “You got more in store?”“Not exactly.” You adjust your glasses. “One step at a time.”“When the whole world is in peril, the mob is quite insignificant.” Matilda has a thought. “Our legacies should grow according to our abilities.”“You know, you’d be hailed a hero of the force if you ever did anything like this, right?” Roger chuckles. “Who am I kidding? I said as much before, half of our guys were in bed with these asswipes.”“Not a shockin’ revelation…” Celia knows more about this, but it won’t matter all that much after all of this is taken care of.
>>6365445“The real surprise is that you looked crooked enough to be part of this criminal ring, and yet…” Matilda makes fun of the policeman.“I know you’re joking, girl. But I used to have a lil’ bit of a spine back in the day, and you get long-life enemies like that.” Roger wants to hide it, but he is quite proud of himself.“I’m glad I met one of the few good cops then.” You deadpan.“Likewise, kid. Delinquents with a heart of gold don’t grow on trees.” Roger has… an interesting characterization of you.“W-Wait, I’m a delinquent? But I wear glasses!” You argue.“The beanie is a criminal trait.” Matilda deadpans. Is that what she thinks of OG Nariko? She was a saint!“How dare you...?” Celia glares.“She’s just mad because she knows I perfected her mediocre family technique.” You adjust your glasses.“Explain yourself now.” Matilda did NOT take that comment kindly.“Technically, it’s a pretty cool upgrade. I can teach if you want later.” You wiggle your eyebrows.“Your words offend me beyond belief, this technique must impress me, or else you will pay dearly...” Matilda is mad!“Hahaha! You’re exactly like your gramps!” Roger laughs. “Gotta say, champ, the guys at the poker parlor. You know we all are rooting for ya, right? Don’t think we won’t stick our necks out, if you find yourself in trouble.” “Parlor? It’s just a man’s basement.” Matilda deadpans.“Girl, if I make that logic bounce around, that dojo of yours is a little…” Roger coughs. “Dumpster fire?” Celia suggests. “Not my words, but my wife would agree.” Roger grins. “Anyway, there’s one thing I gotta know, how the hell did you meet my boss?”The Johnny and Judith connection goes a long way…How do you respond?>“In prison.” What else are you supposed to say? No need to lie!>“You know, Jackson, I have to admit, I need to do a full lore dump here…” Beginning at the prison will start with too many questions. You have +200 threads of silly adventures you can share!>“Why do you ask? Did she talk about me?” Blink rapidly. Act like you’re in a silly teenage romantic comedy.>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
