He just points to the office area, up the stairs and towards the back of the building. It’s a pretty worrying sensation to be told that the boss wants to see you. When you don’t know what the reason is, it’s always the worst possible scenarios that come to mind first. But when you try to think of what you might have done wrong, nothing comes to mind. You head up the metal stairs and make your way through until you reach Vitalyy’s office. You knock on the door and only walk in when you hear his invitation. Vitalyy’s office is nice. A little plain for someone with his money and stature, but it’s so clean and organized. It makes you wonder how much he actually uses it. Nothing at all seems out of place. Except Vitalyy himself, who is as always dressed like a man of great wealth. He slides a glass of liquor across his desk towards you as you walk in.<</vnline>> <<vnmediateat "whiskey_cg">> [img[ressources/cg/whiskey.webp]] <</vnmediateat>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Sit.

You will find the informant at the Coast. We are not certain who it is. You will have to discover that for us as well. The only lead we have, is that one of the three men we have there, informed local law enforcement of a shipment of ours. It was raided and seized. They all knew the time, and the place. Press them until you discover the traitor. Then remove them. I do not care how it is done. I do not care to learn about it after. Simply tell Damir when it is completed.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Understood.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>There is a brief silence as you and Vitalyy nod to one another.

<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator key:three_men_cg>>The Coast is one of the tougher places to sell at. With so much more money flowing through this part of the city, it draws in a lot more crime, which in turn causes an increase in police presence. So it’s obvious that any informant that tries to get inside of the organization would do so here. Most of the men meet under the pier. It’s the only place around where there is cover, and the waves mask any conversation had. Walking along the beach and by the algae covered wooden beams, you find three men hanging out against the concrete wall opposite from the water that helps hold the entire pier up. <</vnline>> <<vnmediateat "three_men_cg">> [img[ressources/cg/three_men.webp]] <</vnmediateat>> <<vnline narrator>>One of the three men notice you and taps the shoulder of another.

I’m just here to ask a few questions about the shipment that got raided. After that, I’ll leave you three be. Okay?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:leaving>>All three of them nod in understanding. You’ll need to speak to all three individually to get the answers you want. And remember, they all knew about the time and place of the shipment.

Driving pretty quickly through the roads as he makes his way through the Slums. He takes a few odd turns. Some that seem pointless at first. But it’s clear that it’s a precaution. Driving in circles so it’s harder for you to know exactly how to get to wherever he’s taking you. Even if you don’t present any danger to him or this gang at the moment, it’s hard to blame him for being so careful. At least the car ride is so smooth that it’s enjoyable even with all the odd turns. Eventually though, a large warehouse comes into view. The building is almost devoid of markings. The only words you can even see on it are on a sign on one door that says ‘No Trespassing’. Nick pulls up and parks right out front. Both of you hop out of the car. The beep of him locking it again goes off behind you as he leads you to the front door. He knocks on it four times in an odd, somewhat broken rhythm. Suddenly that ‘No Trespassing’ sign slides up and a small porthole in the door is revealed. Only an eye can be seen on the other side. Piercing blue and peering out at you both. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>Who this?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The man on the other side of the door speaks with an incredibly heavy Slavic accent.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>It’s cool, it’s cool. Damir, this the dude I was telling y’all about, <<print $chars.player.firstName>>.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The door suddenly swings open. Giving you and Nick the space to walk in.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Welcome to the Den. Where it all comes from.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick raises his arms up as he gestures to the entire room. Inside the Den is a massive warehouse floor filled with tables that are topped with every drug that you can think of, as well as a few that are littered with weapons. People in protective clean gear walk around, carrying some of the products from place to place. Taking some into other rooms, and others pulling packed product out of those rooms. It looks like a much more expansive and well established operation than what Nick ever led you to believe. You are stopped by Damir as a very well dressed man walks up to you. Nick is standing next to you, wearing a confident smile as this man approaches. His stride matches the clearly expensive pinstripe suit he is wearing. Purposeful, powerful, and almost suspiciously perfect. He’s robotic in his precision. Moving up and standing by Damir as the pair look at you. Finally you get a good look at his face. He isn’t as tall as Damir. But you know few people who are, that aren’t professional basketball players. His green eyes are vibrant and his blonde hair is well maintained. Whoever this is, is clearly the man in charge of this operation. He exudes control unlike anyone else. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir vitalyy center>><</vnline>> <<vnline nick>><<print $chars.player.firstName>>, this here is Mr. Ishetsky.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>It pronounced Izhetskii.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Damir’s accent corrects Nick’s comparably butchered pronunciation of the man’s last name.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Please, call me Vitalyy.

Do as asked, and you shall be rewarded.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He puts his middle finger up alongside the index finger.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Brotherhood, stand by your brothers and you shall never be alone.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He puts up his ring finger to join the other two.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Opportunity, do well and you shall be uplifted.

Excuse me, gentlemen.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Have a good one Vitalyy!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:GangIntro3>>Vitalyy nods at Nick and then at you before turning and walking away.

What do I need to do?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Damir pulls a pistol from his track suit and hands it to you. He holds onto the barrel so you are able to grab it by the grip. Him pulling the gun gets you to jump briefly. But that moment of fear washes away quickly once you see he’s handing it to you. Thankfully your Father taught you how to handle firearms when you were younger. So you check it, and make sure the safety is on before sliding it away into the back of your waistband. <</vnline>> <<vnline damir handingpistol center>><</vnline>> <<vnline damir>>You do good with weed.

The smell of rubber, sweat, and protein shakes is really the only reason not to come get your workout in.

Ya know, just to try it out first.<</vnline>> <<vnline "Gym coach">>For sure, my man. We have day passes. They cost twenty dollars and give you total access for the day. I can’t really recommend it if you plan on trying to max out your gains. But I get it. You wanna keep your options open. Trust me, one work out here and you’ll know. Tell ya what, since you’re a cool guy, you can get the first workout free. On me.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Wow, thanks. I appreciate it.

Your head is pounding just as hard as someone’s fist is going against the door right now. It’s impossible to know the time, as your blackout curtains hung on the windows make it appear as dark as nighttime either way. And the thought of even moving to check the time on your phone feels herculean. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Come in<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The words that come out are groggy but clearly loud enough to be heard as the door swings open. The light filtering in from the hall tells you that it is at least midday.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>>Wake up. Meet me in the den. We need to talk. Don’t keep me waiting<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>><<removeclass "body" "bedroom">> <<addclass "body" "mansiondiscover">> A groaned affirmation of understanding escapes your lips. It's a struggle to summon the energy to get yourself out of bed. But you manage. It certainly beats the alternative of pissing your father off. After a quick trip to the bathroom to empty your bladder and splash some water on your face, you head to the den. The home is huge. Twelve bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and half a dozen multipurpose rooms in between. It's a true marvel, and by far the largest home in the entire city of Denlaw. You're happy to be able to live here. And ecstatic that you'll inherit it from your father one day.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>><<removeclass "body" "mansiondiscover">><<addclass "body" "mansionden">> Good to know that sleeping half the day away hasn't slowed you down any<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>As you finally reach the den, your father's sarcasm hits your ears like a blunt object. Sending pulses of pain through your skull, worsening your headache.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Ow, sorry but could you speak quieter? My head is killing me<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>What are you, hungover?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No. I didn't drink last night<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Then you're dehydrated. Drink some water. I have a lot to say<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He slides you a bottle of water as he stands up from his seat. You take a big swig while he begins to explain why he woke you up to talk.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>I'm not going to sugar coat this. You're a disappointment<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>His words cut right through you. Making you cough and sputter some of the water in your throat. He doesn't even stop to listen to you reply though.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>When I was your age, I had accomplished ten times what you've even attempted. I did not set out to raise a son with no ambition. You sleep the day away like you have no drive to make something of yourself<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Most of my plans in life start later. I planned to take over for you when you retire. Run your businesses, and carry on the legacy<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>And I've always wanted that for you. But I wanted more as well. I never figured I would leave this all to you, just so you can coast. Not grow, not be better, just maintain what I built. If you're going to inherit all of this, and right now that is a big if, you need to prove to me, that you can build something like it on your own.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>How am I supposed to do that?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Do you think I knew? I was just a young man, with a few bucks from your grandparents. I worked, I scammed, I bought and sold. I did anything and everything until I had my hands dipped in almost every bit of business in this city. Now you're gonna have to do the same if you want to inherit my fortune.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Dad this is sounding a bit extreme here. What, are you gonna kick me out when you retire if I fail?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>No, I'm kicking you out now. You can't live here until you prove yourself to me<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What? Where am I supposed to go? This is out of nowhere!<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>Tough. I'm gonna be kind, and give you more than my parents gave me.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>He pulls out a stack of bills from his coat pocket. Clearly prepared, he must have been considering this for a while now. He throws the stack to you and you catch it in your hands.<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>That's ten thousand dollars. Use it to get somewhere to live, or to start a business, or party it away for all I care. Just know that you should not come back, or even call me unless you have something worth showing me. Am I understood?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What if I have an emergency? Or if my life is in danger?<</vnline>> <<vnline father plain>>If you find out you have cancer, go ahead and call. If someone wants to hurt you, figure it out yourself. I'm trying to teach you that you are your own person. Do something with that. Face your own consequences. What would you do in the same situation, when I'm dead and you're running things? If you don't have that answer, then you aren't ready to inherit what I have. Now, go. On ya get.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>It was cruel. But there is an undeniable truth to his words. Having money isn't an automatic win button. You have no clue what you might do if someone put a knife to your throat. And that wouldn't change, just by inheriting everything from him. You stand up and leave the home you grew up in. The only home you have ever known. Turning back one last time to look at it, wondering if you'll ever inherit it like you always believed you would.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:Continue>>It you're every going to turn that would, into will, you have to get going.

<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>The sound of wood and aluminum clashing against the leather of baseballs bounces off every surface and into your ears. The row of cages at the park is full of people practicing their swing. Including one man who looks so large and brawny that he could easily be mistaken for a professional player. He isn’t swinging in one of the cages though. He’s showing a young man how to swing properly.<</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>Now see, you wanna lead with your outside elbow. Where that’s pointing is where the ball is rearing to go. And drive it with your hips. That’s where all the power comes from.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The young man that he is coaching shows a marked increase in their swing from the first pitch after that. Making solid contact with the next ball and driving it pretty hard into the back wall of the cages. <</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>Yeah! That’s it! Great swing. Keep at it. Once you get a good feel for the swing, start trying to aim it.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You walk by them and grab a bat, starting to swing as well. You miss the first few pitches. Eventually you hit one well. But then you miss the next. <</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>You’re looking where you want to hit it, Keep your eye on the ball.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You look over and see the Coach smile and nod at you. You nod back in understanding before giving his advice a try. First ball out of the machine you nail. The sound of it hitting the back cage is even louder than what you hit it with the bat.<</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>That’s it!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>After a few more hits, you feel your swing getting more precise. Really helping you develop your focus along the way. It’s over for now though. The bat is away and the machine is off. When you’re heading out, you head over to the Coach as he cleans up after the young man that he was helping.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Hey, thanks for the assist. Do you do this professionally?<</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>No need to thank me. It was just one sentence. You’re the one who put the real work in to follow it.

But for now I figure you earned this. I don’t take away from your business.<</vnline>> <<vnline "Batting coach">>Oh no that’s alright. I appreciate the integrity, but I’m loaded.

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>The moment you enter the Residential District, your phone buzzes. Damir’s text pops up on your screen giving you the address you need. The address leads you to a pretty nice townhouse that isn’t too far out of the way. By the looks of it, the trainer must make a decent living to own a place like this. Not anything spectacular, but it does seem to support the idea that he is a legitimate trainer. Whether or not he is legitimately training Damir’s wife Mina is another story entirely. <</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>There’s two cars at the house right now. So chances are he has a client inside. If you’re lucky, Mina will still be inside and you’ll be able to see just what she and this trainer of hers get up to. There’s no way to see anything from here though. You look around and make sure no one sees you. And the moment the coast is clear you quietly run up along the side of the house towards the back. Peering into windows doesn’t clue you into much just yet. But suddenly a loud laugh comes from the house. It sounded like it came from upstairs. Walking around some more, you find the back sliding door to the house is open. Looking around, it seems like they were doing something out back before heading inside. Maybe some yoga of some sort by the mats on the ground. And they do look used. Even if it looks innocent so far, it certainly isn’t proof of anything just yet. You silently step inside, following the sounds of the laughter, and soon enough you hear talking. It’s coming from a cracked door on the second level.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Look in through the door<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:minacaughtdoor>>You look in through the slightly ajar door and see the source of the voices. And it is exactly what Damir had feared.

All you need to do is bring this back to Damir and he will have what he asked you for. Although, that isn’t your only option. You stand there in the hall, still unnoticed, and think on what you can do with this information. Finishing the job you were sent here to do is one option, and possibly the most simple. You don’t get any further involvement, and you do just as Damir asked of you. The next option to come to mind is to use this information against Mina. You could get her to pay and get Damir to pay you. Double dipping by blackmailing Mina wouldn’t even mean you would have to hold up your end of it. You could still even tell Damir after you get whatever you can out of her. Finally, you could end this. Damir clearly cares about his wife. He wouldn’t be jealous if he didn’t. This could be your opportunity to end her affairs and have the threat of being exposed loom over her to keep her loyal from now on. It would mean lying to him though. Whichever option you want to choose, it has to be made now.

Broken English mixes with vitriolic Russian just assaults your ears. You find the source pretty quickly. Damir is screaming into his phone like a man possessed. Raging about something that takes a moment of careful listening to even begin to understand.<</vnline>> <<vnline damir onthephone>>You home now! Suka you listen to me! Come home!

His right fist raised and ready to bring it down on your face. His hand is so large that it looks like he could punch right through your skull. You put your hands up to protect your face, waiting for the hit to land. But, it doesn’t. The weight on your chest suddenly disappears. You move your arms and see that Nick has entered the fray. He rammed into Damir and knocked him off you. The pair brawl on their own for a moment. And Damir is clearly winning. He grabbed Nick as the pair collided. Pulling him down and causing them to roll together. Damir is quick to his feet, the Russian moving faster and more powerfully than Nick can keep up with. As Nick tries to stand Damir kicks him in the face. Putting Nick into a daze as he lays on his back against the cold concrete floor. Damir sits on top of him, just as he was on top of you a moment ago. He wraps his hands around Nick’s neck and begins to squeeze. Nick struggles against his strength, unable to do anything to stop him no matter what he tries. Even going too far as trying to claw Damir’s eyes out is futile. But then suddenly, a shot rings out through the Den. Damir drops to the floor, dead. Nick gasps and looks over to where the shot came from. And he sees you standing there. With Damir distracted, you were able to retrieve your gun, and put an end to this threat.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Thanks… thanks…<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Nick says through coughs and labored breaths.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Don’t mention it.

His right fist raised and ready to bring it down on your face. His hand is so large that it looks like he could punch right through your skull. The punch lands against your arms. And then another with his other hand. Each strike feeling more punishing than the last. They aren’t debilitating. But they hurt like hell. Feeling as if you’re being pressed into the concrete floor below you more and more with each strike. You won’t make it if you just keep taking these hits. He hits hard but he isn’t defending at all. He isn’t letting up with those hits though. If you try to hit back, you’re taking one to the face in the process. Without anyone able to help though, it’s what you have to do. His face is too broad and strong to be a good target. So you aim lower. Throwing a punch right at his groin. Both of your punches land at the same time. The sound of him howling in pain is the only thing you hear through the ringing in your ears. His punch lands over your right eye and smacks you into the floor below. To compare the feeling to being hit by a train would be to overestimate the train. You’re even a bit dazed by it. But it does give you an opening. Damir rolls off you, clutching his groin and laying in the fetal position on the ground. You roll over and crawl to your gun. Grabbing it, and rolling to aim it at Damir. He tries to stand, to get to you first. But with one pull of the trigger he drops. The back of his skull ejecting out as your shot lands right on his face. He plops to the floor with no further movement. Gone in an instant. You stand up and look around. There’s no one left standing in your way. The stairs are empty, and the path to Vitalyy is clear.

Come in.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You peer in carefully, seeing that he’s telling the truth. You step in with your weapon drawn. Pointing it at him as you close the door behind you. His hands are up lazily. There is no fear on his face. He simply sits down at his desk, and slowly puts his hands down. Sighing, seemingly without a care in the world. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>You shouldn’t have tried to kill me.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>I wholeheartedly agree. I should have succeeded, in killing you.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Why? What the fuck did I do to make you want to kill me? I’ve been with you for a while. Sold plenty of product.

You order a hot dog and a burger for both of you. The man hands the food to Emilia while you pay. But since she's a bit short, as he leans out the window of the food truck, he slips a bit. The food flies from his hands and covers Emilia in condiments and meat juices. You prepare yourself to hear her scream and curse the guy out. But as he is emphatically apologizing, she just starts to chuckle.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia>>No, no it's okay! It was an accident. Can I just get a fuck ton of napkins?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You grab a handful of napkins and help Emilia clean herself up as they remake the food. Luckily her outfit is a bit revealing, so there is less fabric to stain. This time you grab the food they hand to you to prevent a repeat of that accident. Handing her her food as you both walk along to find a place to sit and eat. It's amazing to see how much taking away the stress of her classes has helped her. When you first met her, she would have gone on a tirade berating that guy. But now she's just laughing it off like it was nothing. It's hard not to just look at her while you talk and eat together. It's an amazing feeling to see her at her stress free and happy state.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia>>Why are you staring at me, weirdo? Oh, do I have mustard on my cheek?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No, you're fine. I'm just really happy to see you like this. No stress, no worries, and more free time.

You order a hot dog and a burger for both of you. The man hands the food to Emilia while you pay. But since she's a bit short, as he leans out the window of the food truck, he slips a bit. The food flies from his hands and covers Emilia in condiments and meat juices. You prepare yourself to hear her scream and curse the guy out. But as he is emphatically apologizing, she just starts to chuckle.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia>>No, no it's okay! It was an accident. Can I just get a fuck ton of napkins?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You grab a handful of napkins and help Emilia clean herself up as they remake the food. Luckily her outfit is a bit revealing, so there is less fabric to stain. This time you grab the food they hand to you to prevent a repeat of that accident. Handing her her food as you both walk along to find a place to sit and eat. It's amazing to see how much taking away the stress of her classes has helped her. When you first met her, she would have gone on a tirade berating that guy. But now she's just laughing it off like it was nothing. It's hard not to just look at her while you talk and eat together. It's an amazing feeling to see her at her stress free and happy state.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia>>Why are you staring at me, weirdo?

<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>Emilia not being in the performance that she invited you to was odd to say the least. Thankfully though, when she answers her front door you're assured that she isn't hurt or anything like that.

She just starts crying again and turns to walk into her place. You follow her in and close the door behind you. Her apartment is not the same as when you were here last. It looks like she was robbed. But when Emilia's crying suddenly turns to screaming as she tears a random piece of paper up that she grabs from the floor, that theory is quickly replaced with a different one. <<removeclass "body" "modernapartments-emilia-openingthedoorcrying">><<addclass "body" "modernapartments-emilia-livingroomchaos">> <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Come here. Tell me what happened. I went to the show. Why weren't you in it?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She sits on the couch with you, wiping the tears from her face as she gets ready to talk. There is a lot of rage behind her eyes. And stress behind every word that comes out.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>THAT FUCKING BITCH TEACHER KICKED ME OUT OF THE PROGRAM!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>That certainly explains her absence.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>She did? Why?<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>I told her the truth! She wanted everything to be perfectly 'traditional.' She needed to add something unique if anyone was gonna care about the performance. But apparently my ideas were 'vulgar.' So I called her a frigid hag!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well insulting her might have been a bad call.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>IT'S THE TRUTH THOUGH!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I don't know her so, maybe. But was it worth getting kicked out of the program?<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>NO!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She plops down onto her couch looking totally downtrodden.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Can I ask you something?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Emilia nods, tears still pouring from her eyes.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What causes these blowups? You seem to get really angry sometimes. And you just let loose. You're usually in the right but, you tend to take it a bit far. Is there something behind that?<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>I- I never used to be this way.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She starts crying harder, speaking through her tears and sniffles.<</vnline>> <<vnline emilia crying>>It's just been non-stop! Work, school, work, school, back and forth. I force myself to go out dancing even when I'm dead tired. Just so I can do something I enjoy every week. I'm just always tired. Always so fucking tired…<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>A lack of sleep definitely explains her bouts of anger. She needs sleep right now. Not to talk this out, not more anger in throwing stuff around. She needs a good, long, peaceful night's sleep. You walk over and give her a hug. Picking her up and carrying her to her bed. You lay her down and tuck her in. There is a spark of protest in her eyes but the moment the covers go over her, she is out like a light. Exhaustion setting in and taking her into a very deep sleep.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:emilia_s2s3_end>>Once she's asleep you look around. Seeing the mess, it's clear that this will just give her more stress when she wakes up. So you tidy up. Putting things back where they belong. Or at least where you think they belong. It takes you about an hour or two to clean everything. But once you're done you head out. She needs to get some sleep to get past this. Processing this big of a change is hard. Going through so much stress and having it potentially be for nothing because it's taken away from you is not something that someone gets over in a day. You need to sleep as well. It's later than you'd like to be out, and all that cleaning is quite tiring. Hopefully Emilia will feel better in the morning. At least your help with the cleaning should make it less stressful. <<set $chars.emilia.objectives.stage_two.steps.step_three.completed to 1>> <<relationgain "emilia">> <</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "emilia_s2s3_end">> [[Leave|CityMap][$scene to 0]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>><</nobr>>

In a few hours the beach is going to be closed off to the public for the night. So the almost daily bonfires and beach parties are in full swing. Always running until the police come to tell everyone to go home. The sight of a familiar face, and body, draws you over to one party in particular. One that’s sporting a lime green bikini that looks like it might just fall off at any moment.<</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "farahbeachparty">> [img["ressources/chars/farah/images/farah_beach_party.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline narrator>>Farah dances around, shaking her big tits around. Moving around the fire and stumbling a bit every few feet. Getting close the smell of alcohol really hits your nose hard. And the smell of weed hits not long after. At the same time, Farah notices you and waves giddily.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>><<print $chars.player.firstName>>! Over here! Come party with me!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She’s completely sloshed. She’s slurring her words and appears to be one bad move away from face planting.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Hey Farah. Having fun?<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Like, so much! C’mon! Come dance with me!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Farah shakes a bit along with the music. It’s hard to tell which music she’s dancing along too. At least four different speakers are all playing different songs. So you just move in rhythm with her rather than any song in particular. Pretty soon she is leaning against you instead of dancing. And it feels like you’re holding her up more than she’s standing on her own. Feels like she could completely pass out at any moment. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Come on Farah. Let’s get you home to get some sleep.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:farahflash>>She is a bit too gone to really argue. Once you are able to get her address from her, you bring her back. She lives in the Lofts section of Downtown. Closer to the beach than the rest of it. So there’s a bit of luck there. Once her things are collected, you drive her home. Holding her up in the elevator and along the hall until you reach the front door of her apartment. She is so close to falling asleep that you have to help her get changed. Pulling her bikini off before grabbing her something comfortable to sleep in. You try not to stare, but her body is hard to not admire. <<removeclass "body" "beach">> <<addclass "body" "modernapartments-bedroom">><</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "farahflash">> [img["ressources/chars/farah/images/farah_flash.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline narrator key:nextmorning>>Once she’s dressed for bed, and gets under the covers, Farah goes out like a light. Snoring like a chainsaw almost instantly. It’s really late. And it’d be better if you stick around just in case she needs help at some point over the course of the night. People who get that drunk rarely manage to go through the evening without all of that booze coming back up. So you grab a seat on her couch. It’s not the most comfortable place to sleep. But it’s enough. You close your eyes, and drift off.<</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "nextmorning">> [[The next morning|farah_stage_one][$scene to 1]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <<elseif $scene is 1>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator key:farahmorning>>The smell of a greasy egg sandwich hits your nose and jolts you awake. You get up from the couch and see Farah walking over from the front door of her apartment, over to her kitchen counter. She places the bag onto the counter, turns, and leans against it. Looking at you down her nose, inquisitively. Looking somewhat suspicious. <<removeclass "body" "beach">> <<addclass "body" "modernapartment-kitchen">> <</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "farahmorning">> [img["ressources/chars/farah/images/farah_morning.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline farah>>Good morning.

I remember dancing with you. Then like, waking up in my bed.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>You were really drunk. So I brought you home and put you in bed. I stuck around just in case.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She looks you up and down for a moment. Trying to find some hint that you’re lying or are omitting something from your answer. Until suddenly, her expression softens completely.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Okay. C’mere, I got us brekkie sandwiches.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Thanks. They smell great.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>I’ll be right back.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Farah heads off back towards her bedroom. You hear the bathroom door closing. While she’s away you pull the sandwiches out and place them both on on some paper towels so they are out and ready when she gets back. Which, doesn’t take long. She’s in there for maybe thirty seconds at most. And when she gets back, she is smiling wide and is much perkier and more chipper than she was a moment ago.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Oh you set it all up for us? That’s like, soooo sweet!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It’s no big deal. You got the food. I just unwrapped it. Barely compares.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>You didn’t have to do it. So that makes it sweet!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She starts eating her sandwich. Moaning into it as she takes a bite. As if it’s the first thing she’s eaten in days. Actually, with how clean her kitchen looks, something tells you that it might be. Between that, he drinking, and whatever she did in the bathroom to perk up so quick, it’s hard to ignore these types of warning signs. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Hey, I don’t want to overstep or anything. But do you mind if I ask about some of your habits?<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Ask away! I’m an open book.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>How come you drink, and party so much? Seems like you really like to go hard with the substances.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Oh I LOVE it. I’ll take almost anything. Unless it’s from some like, skeezy guy. Have you ever been to the slums? There’s some dude in an alley there who always tries to sell stuff to me. So gross.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Is it really just that you like it? You go pretty hard. I had to bring you home last night, and if I’m honest, I’m a little worried how that night would have gone if I didn’t show up.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>But you did!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I won’t always be able to though.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Okay look, it’s like super nice of you to be worried. But I’m still young. I love to party. One day I’ll slow down and stop. I just wanna max out while I still can.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I get that. It’s your choice after all. Just, do me a favor as a friend, and promise me you’ll be a bit more careful alright?<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>A friend? You saw me naked and now you friend-zone me. Like sooo rude!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She giggles at herself.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>No but for real I promise. I’ll ease up just a tiny bit. Or I might suddenly call you if I need another last minute ride home.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Good to hear. And if I can, I promise I’ll answer.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:farahrelationgain>>With that settled you finish eating your breakfast with her. Thanking her again for the food, and heading out. Before she closes her front door, you make sure she knows that she’ll see you again. An assurance that makes her smile from ear to ear. <<set $chars.farah.objectives.stage_one.completed to 1>> <<NextDay>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "farahrelationgain">> [[Leave|CityMap][$scene to 0]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>There is a woman laying on a bench just by the entrance to the park. She is using a large puffy coat as a blanket. And otherwise appears to be dressed like she’s been out at the club. Getting closer to check on her, you realize that you recognize who this is. It’s Farah, snoring away just out on the bench in the middle of the morning. A quick shake of her shoulder wakes her up. Seemingly much to her chagrin.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Wha-? I’m sleeeeping! Leave me be!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Farah it’s me, <<print $chars.player.firstName>>. You’re sleeping on a park bench. Come on, wake up before a cop comes by and thinks you’re homeless.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She moans and groans, but does listen. Rolling over and pushing herself up to sit on the bench instead of lay on it. She places her arm up to black the sun in her eyes. So you step to the side to get right in front of her. The sun on your back and your body casting a shadow over her to help shield her from the bright morning sun. <</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Thanks. What time is it?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It’s nearly noon. Did you pass out here last night?<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>I must have. Oh fuck my head.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She leans her head down and rubs her temples.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I thought you were going to try and take it easy. So something like this doesn’t happen.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>I’m a stripper. Partying is part of the job. Get off my case.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Her tone is much more callous than you’ve ever heard it. Her hangover must be cutting her patience very short.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m not trying to be on your case. I’m just trying to look out for you.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Well, like, it’s not your job to.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Then it should mean more that I do it for free.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Right now it means you’re giving me a headache.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I’m pretty sure that’s the hangover.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Oh really? Do ya like, think so? Genius! Ow…<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She cradles her entire head in her hands now. Holding it like she’s trying to keep it from falling off her shoulders.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>Let me live my life. I’m gonna make the most of my time while I can.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>That shouldn’t mean that you pass out on a park bench!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You yell at her. Perhaps a bit too loud.<</vnline>> <<vnline farah>>No. But it definitely doesn’t mean sitting around and being lectured too either. I don’t have time for this.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:farahrelationgain>>Farah suddenly stands up and storms off. Wrapping the coat around her head to continue to block the sun out as she leaves the park. A sigh escapes your lips. It’s impossible to force someone to change who doesn’t want to. And it seems like Farah won’t want that until she finds herself in a situation that might be too bad to recover from. You might have been a bit harsh in retrospect though. Yelling at her, when you’re only really just starting to get close to her, might be something worth apologizing over. <<relationgain "farah">> <<set $chars.farah.objectives.stage_two.completed to 1>> <<addhours 1>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "farahrelationgain">> [[Leave|CityMap][$scene to 0;$chars.farah.objectives.stage_two.completed to 1]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

Before finally you break the silence.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>So, why did you decide the church was where you wanted to be?<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen>>I've always been quite faithful. I get it from my mother. My father, although he was a good provider, did not share or support me in my faith. In fact, he has been quite intolerant of it. He removed me from his will when I revealed my decision to take the vows to him.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Oh no, I'm so sorry. Believe it or not, I can somewhat relate. My father is really wealthy too. And he recently kicked me out of the house. I'm not cut out of anything yet. But, if I don't do something to impress him, then I will be.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen plain>>It is far too tragic of a tale for us to share. My father wanted me to follow him into the legal field. But, I saw what he was forced to do to be successful. I could never be party to that. It is frustrating. But, it is comforting to know I'm not alone.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I know what you mean. It can be isolating if you feel like people can't really relate to your problems. If nothing else, at least now we have each other to talk to. Someone that we know will understand it.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen>>That is so very true. It's quite spirit-lifting. Perhaps that is why the Lord brought us together.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You talk with her more for the better part of an hour. The food on your trays goes down, and even when they're empty you continue to talk. Eventually though, she has to leave. So you take her tray for her, and walk her out of the mall. Standing by her car as you get ready to say goodbye, for now.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>This was a fun sort of date.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen>>Date?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Sort of, yeah.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You chuckle.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>We had a meal together, talked about our lives, and learned a lot about each other. Sounds a lot like a first date to me.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She blushes deeply.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen blush>>Oh, I suppose you are correct. A pleasant accident, it would seem.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I'm open to doing it again on purpose some time if you are.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen>>I believe I would like that. I can't believe it actually.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Hmm? What can't you believe?<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen>>I've never been so willing to go on a date with someone before. I've always felt like I was betraying my beliefs to do so. I'm shocked that I feel so excited about the idea of doing this again.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well, it might sound a bit selfish but, I'm certainly glad to hear it. I'll make sure to ask you out properly soon then. Okay?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She blushes even deeper.<</vnline>> <<vnline marleen blush>>Okay. I am looking forward to it.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Likewise. See you soon.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:marleen_s2_yes_end>>Marleen waves goodbye and heads into her car. Heading off and leaving you at the mall. You consider that asking her out sooner is better.

I am sorry.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Her apology is well thought out, and sounds a little robotic. But that is just how she often sounds. There is a clear genuine emphasis behind her words. She doesn't seem to be laying it out as if she feels like she has to. Instead doing so because she seems to believe that showing that she understands what she did wrong is important. It can't hurt to accept the apology. She clearly means it.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Apology accepted. Just so you know, I'm not mad about the kiss. I enjoyed that a lot. I only stopped it when I did because I didn't want to take advantage of you.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I appreciate that thought. I am happy, but surprised that you feel that way.

The moment the door is closed she takes two running steps before leaping up into your arms and tackling you onto her couch. Kissing you deeply. Your lips lock to hers as her tongue explores your mouth, and yours explores hers in return. The sensual warmth of the moment is enough to distract you from the shock of her sudden and passionate attack. She pulls from the kiss, kissing your neck, and moving down to your groin.

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>'Fan Industries'; it seems like a new shop. At least, this is the first time that you've set foot in it. The walls are lined with metal shelves and glass display cases. All of them showing off interesting machines or items of various types. They're all clearly unique as well. There isn't a single thing for sale that has a duplicate of it. In the center of the store are some larger items as well. It's hard to tell just what they are made to do. Some of them are so complicated that some might assume it's an art piece rather than a product.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Welcome to Fan Industries. I have noticed that you are admiring my many inventions. They are quite fascinating, I know. I cannot blame you for being so interested. In case you were not already aware, everything you see within the shop is my proprietary work. Further, it is all for sale.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>The voice comes from a woman standing behind the counter in the far back. Her eyes are glued to you. Scanning you from head to toe. Her cute face is almost enough to distract from how robotic her way of speaking and moving is. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Thanks. They're really cool looking but, I'm not really sure what any of them do.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She chuckles as she steps out from behind the counter. Walking over to the invention that you are closest to.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I completely understand. My genius is difficult for most to fully grasp without my aid. Allow me to show you what some of my creations are capable of.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:invention1>>The one she starts with looks like some sort of torture device for small animals. The tread of a treadmill, underneath a heating element, all encased in a very thick plastic box with wires around it that operate it all. <</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "invention1">> [img["ressources/chars/mei/images/invention1.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline mei>>This might be perfect for a man of your age. I'm sure you enjoy a seared meats, like steak perhaps.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Yeah of course.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I knew it. I'm right again.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She giggles haughtily before continuing, pointing to each part of the item as she explains it in detail.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>This will offer you convenience in the pursuit of such entrees. This device sears the meat with the heating element from above. The top down heating provides a more even cook throughout the meat. As when it comes from below, the heat rises and leaves the cooking surface as soon as it appears on it. The tread below slowly moves the meat at the perfect speed to press it against the wall and automatically flip it when it needs to be. All with food safe, BPA free, and heat treated plastic around it for the easiest cleaning experience possible.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Her eyes go back to yours. Locking onto them and staring, waiting, expecting something.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>That's really cool. I don't think I've ever seen anything that flips your food for you while you cook it.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Precisely why I made it! I'm so glad to see you understand the vision. Who knows if this would ever have come to be if I had not come along?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:invention2>>She steps over a few feet and begins explaining the next invention.

Bravo for seeing it so quickly. This is something for those who adore the weight of a heavy blanket on them. But, they hate the heat of being under one. Especially during the summer months.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She speaks as though she is explaining it from personal experience.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It's a very, cool idea.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Mei doesn't react to the pun in the slightest.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>It is. I am glad that you noticed. Would you happen to be in need of one?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No, not at the moment, sorry.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Oh no apologies necessary. If everyone felt that way, I would not even have one sell. If you change your mind, come find me.

I'm <<print $chars.player.firstName>>.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I am Mei Fan.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>That explains the name of your store.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>It certainly does.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well I'm gonna head out but it was nice to meet you. Your inventions are cool, even if a little eclectic.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Her eyebrows raise in curiosity.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Eclectic? I believe that the term is roughly appropriate for my inventory. But I am curious what exactly you intended by using that term.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Sorry if it came off rude. I just meant everything here seems really specific. Really specialized. There is absolutely someone who would want these things. But, it probably is just someone. I doubt these would be big sellers if they were mass produced.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I cannot disagree more firmly. If one person wants it, then many will. No one is so wholly unique as to be the only one in need of a specific item. Even myself, someone so unique in intelligence, would struggle to think of anything I would purchase that no one else would desire.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Maybe you're right. I can't say I know. But I can say that these are pretty interesting. So, expect to see me back some time to see what you make next. And maybe even buy it.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>It is big of you to accept that you are wrong. Even if it is only a half acceptance. I welcome your return. I am certain beyond doubt that you will be a satisfied customer in time.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_intro_end>>She heads to the back room, and you walk out of the store.

It can't hurt to accept the apology. She clearly means it.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Apology accepted. Just so you know, I'm not mad about the kiss. I enjoyed that a lot.

Your lips lock to hers as her tongue explores your mouth, and yours explores hers in return.

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>From the moment you step back inside of Fan Industries, you feel a sense of emptiness. Not within, but rather around you. It feels like something is missing. And it only takes a moment to notice that Mei isn't around. She isn't gloating to any prospective customers. And the counter in the back is abandoned. When you met her, she mentioned that if she isn't out on the main floor, then she is likely in the back working on something. <</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_flash>>At the door to the back room, you certainly hear something going on in the room behind it. You knock a couple times first. But get no response. Whatever she's working on is loud enough that it is drowning out any noise made to get her attention. The only thing left to do is to just walk in. You turn the knob, and step forward. The door sings open, and a wave of heat smacks you in the face. It actually makes you step back a bit before you can actually muster yourself forward. Getting inside and seeing Mei working hard on something. But that's the second thing you notice. The first is that she is topless and sweaty as she works.<</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "mei_flash">> [img["ressources/chars/mei/images/mei_flash.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline mei>>Oh wonderful! <<print $chars.player.firstName>> come here quickly! It is a joy to see you return. I have something that I am certain you will enjoy.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Mei is so excited that she doesn't even acknowledge the fact that she's topless as she grabs you and pulls you into the room. Practically dragging you along towards the work station at the far wall of the room where her new invention rests. It's hard to tell what it is at first. But as Mei begins to describe it to you, it becomes much more clear.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I am calling it, the 'Every-Threader'. As you can plainly see, it is a hand held quick stitch sewing machine. Perfect for patching up any tear. But, if you will please notice the different color spools on the top, it is able to swap between thread colors seamlessly.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She giggles at her own pun. The machine looks almost like a pistol. Looking closer, there's a curious red laser light being emitted from the tip as well.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What is this laser for?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I am so glad that you asked. The laser is optical in nature. It scans the clothing as you are sewing, and when it reads a color, it alters the color of thread that runs through the needle!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Wow. Ya know Mei I think this might be the most commercially viable thing you've ever come up with. I bet if you could get this mass produced, you'd make a boat load of cash.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>That is quite kind of you to say. Quite impossible as well, I am saddened to say.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Why impossible?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I have made many attempts at selling my inventions in the past. I have even made more than one to produce some of my own. Foolish, ignorant, and idiotic people have repeatedly failed to understand the genius of my designs.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It sounds like you argued with a lot of them when they said they didn't like your inventions and now you have a lot of burnt bridges.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>That- That is not inaccurate.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Give me a chance to help. I'll make a few calls to people I know through my dad.

I apologize, I do not mean to sound ungrateful. But my confusion to your reasoning is significant.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It's not like I'm gonna go too far out of my way. So don't worry about it. I just want to do something nice for you.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Thank you. I cannot convey with words how truly touched I am by this.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>You already have. Like I said, don't worry about it. Just be ready. I'll give you a call if I find something.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_s1_end>>With that, you say goodbye to Mei. She is blushing so brightly at your kindness that you give her some space. Although, come to think of it, she might have just been overheating in that oven of a back room. It's likely nothing to worry about though. She's happy, and you have a way you can help her out. You might even be able to make some money along the way as well. Pitching a product isn't easy though.

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>Mei's pitch should have happened by now. But when you search her store to talk to her about it, she's nowhere to be found. Even the back room is locked up tight. If anyone's in there, they aren't making a sound. And they aren't answering when you knock. Safe to assume that no one is here at the moment. It's odd, and almost eerie to be in the store alone. It gives an unsettling feeling that drives you out of it as quickly as that feeling starts to build inside.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>If Mei isn't at her store though, then it's a bit of a mystery where she could be. She might still be at the meeting. Negotiating or hammering out details on a deal with them. Or she could even be out celebrating the deal. Something tells you that if either of those two things were the case though, she would want to tell you. Even if it were just to boast or brag. So since you haven't heard anything like that from her, the first place you figure you should check for her is her house over in the slums.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She answers her front door, looking absolutely distraught. Mascara streaming down her cheeks that she futilely tries to wipe away. Her eyes are red. And there is a tissue in her hand. No words are exchanged at first. You just step forward and pull her in for a hug. She tries to push away at first but the moment her face touches your chest she lets loose and wraps her arms around you as well. Starting to cry again as you close the door and bring her to the couch. <</vnline>> <<vnline player>>It's okay. Tell me what happened.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Mei takes a deep breath. Composing herself a bit, and trying to push the sadness down.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I made… an absolute fool of myself at that meeting.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Don't say that. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Your attempt to make me feel better is appreciated. But unearned. I should feel bad.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What mistake could you have made that makes you think that?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>It is not just one mistake. I shunned your advice. An it was proven correct. In the meeting, I was laughed at when they heard my request for the licensing fee.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Well that is just hindsight. I might have been right but you had your reasons for thinking I was wrong.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>That is not all. I reacted very poorly to their laughter. They sounded so smug. And looked at me as though I were inferior. It inflamed me and I took that out on them.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Oh did you insult them?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I did indeed. Demeaning the size of their genitals as well as calling them short sighted charlatans with no right to run a business.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Yeah that will blow up a deal pretty quickly.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>And… then they apologized. They admitted they were harsh. But instead of apologizing as well, I simply commended them on recognizing their error. Which, sparked a second altercation. I was escorted out by security after that.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You rub her arm as you wrap yours around her shoulder to comfort her.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Don't worry, Mei. These are the sorts of things that you need to go through sometimes. It's never a failure. It's just a lesson. You learn from it, so next time you succeed. So you aren't great with people. So what? You're a great inventor. No one can be great at everything.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I have been repeating mistakes and errors such as this my entire life… I will not continue.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>She lifts her head and looks at you longingly. A serious, dedicated expression grows on her face. As if she's trying to force herself to say something that her body doesn't want her to say.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>I am sorry. I was rude to you. I had no reason to treat you the way that I treated you. Especially when you were just trying to help. I understand if you want to leave. It might be better, so I do not do anything to treat you in a way that is similar to how I treated them.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Apology accepted. Don't be so hard on yourself. If I were really that mad or worried about anything you'd say, I wouldn't be here with you now.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>And here you are… There is another mistake that I often make, that I will not allow myself to repeat.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>What's tha-?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Before you can finish your sentence Mei leans towards you, pressing her lips to yours and kissing you passionately. You kiss her back for a moment, but eventually grab her and pull away, looking at her as she stares at you hungrily.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Are you sure about this? I don't wa-<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Get out!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_s3_end>>Mei's face grows beet red as she stands and points at her front door. She needs someone to help her process some things. But right now with how emotional she is, it's likely best for you to head out. The door slams behind you as you're left out in the hall of the apartment building. Hopefully after some time to process that conversation, she will be more reasonable to talk to. It might be a good idea to make sure she knows you aren't just going to ditch her after this too. Talking to her, like usual, when you see her around the city might be the best way for her to know that whatever is bothering her, isn't going to stop you from spending time with her. <<relationgain "mei">> <<set $chars.mei.objectives.stage_three.completed to 1>> <<addhours 1>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "mei_s3_end">> [[Leave|CityMap][$scene to 0]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline player>>Mei! I have great news! I got you a meeting!<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Surprise is in her eye at first. An almost hopeful glimmer fills them. Quickly replaced by a robust confidence and self assurance.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>You did? Of course you did! That is fantastic! I am sure my invention helped immensely. But I can see by your pride and excitement, that you worked very hard to achieve this. I am proud of you for that!<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Yeah, thanks! It was tough. It isn't easy to convince people to take a chance on something new.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Indeed it is not. Come back to my home with me. You may help me prepare and practice the pitch. You have certainly earned the chance to see how it is done.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_stage_two>>The smirk on her face is as smug as it is cute. It's easy to follow. And when she grabs you by the hand, it's hard to pull away from her. Her confidence is magnetic. Pulling you in as she draws you to her home, her center, like you're a light piece of metal. Her home though, well more accurately her apartment, is in the block housing in the slums. It's... suitable. By the looks of it, she doesn't do anything here besides sleep and eat. It barely looks lived in at all. The trashcan by the fridge is filled with soda cans and microwave burrito wrappers. Her bed isn't made, and the sheets look like they are due for a wash. And yet her living room is immaculate. Clean coffee table, couch with fluffed cushions, and a clean carpet underneath them all. A look at the TV though is enough to tell you why. The layer of dust shows that if she isn't refueling or sleeping, she likely isn't even here. She looks at you as she speaks guiding you to the couch.<</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "mei_stage_two">> [img["ressources/chars/mei/images/mei_stage_two.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline mei>>I would ask that you take a seat on the couch. I will begin by laying out my basic proposal to you. We will build the pitch itself off the numbers and projections I provide.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:manila_folder>>Her couch is the best place to wait. It's comfy, and feels almost brand new. Mei brings a manila folder over as you sink in and get comfortable. Opening it up and placing a few pieces of paper on the table. One looks like the outline of a business plan. And the other is a licensing fee that she intends to charge the company that would be making the product.<</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "manila_folder">> [img["ressources/chars/mei/images/manila_folder.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline player>>Mei, what is the licensing fee about? Wouldn't you plan to get part of the profit from the sales?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Of course I intend for that. The licensing fee is to allow them to produce my designs at all.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Do you think that's the best idea? I'm wondering if they'd pull out if they think you're asking for too much.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Of course I am asking for too much. That is part of the strategy.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>OH! So this is just a bargaining chip you're willing to give up so you look like you're meeting them in the middle with what you really want?<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Precisely right! I only intend to actually charge ten percent of that figure as the licensing fee.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I still don't think that's a good idea. Any fee like that at all, and them might just walk.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Did they say this to you?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>No but they weren't really-<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Ah, no no. If they did not say it, then you do not know it. And if you do not know it, you should not speak on such things as if you do.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I'm just letting you know my opinion on it.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Noted. I have done many of these negotiations before. I am certain that my experience will carry me well in this case.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>But didn't you say that those negotiations all went poorly?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Mei huffs, clearly annoyed.<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>Yes. But they were stepping stones to my inevitable success. Stones along a path that you seem scared to follow me down. Not a worry, I will walk it alone. You may leave.<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>I didn't mean to-<</vnline>> <<vnline mei>>You, may leave.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator key:mei_s2_end>>She's adamant. It's best for you to get up and go. Hopefully her pitch goes well. Even if it doesn't seem likely at all. In time you should ask her about it. But for now you should move on. The entire conversation seems to have pissed her off pretty significantly. <<relationgain "mei">> <<set $chars.mei.objectives.stage_two.completed to 1>> <<addhours 1>><</vnline>> <<vnactionsat "mei_s2_end">> [[Leave|Slums][$scene to 0]] <</vnactionsat>> <</vndialogbox>> <</if>> <</nobr>>

<<nobr>> <<if $scene is 0>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>Dressed in black, like requested, you arrive at the Coast and meet up with the others. According to Vitalyy’s intel, they will arrive by boat at the end of the Pier. And they will hoist whatever it is that they are bringing. The moment the package is up on the Pier, everyone will move in at once. Once the package is secure, everyone leaves and the job is done. You set up alongside Damir near a stand for a water pistol game, roughly near the center of the Pier. Nick, Vitalyy, and the others head to either side. At the very end of the Pier, five men are standing there looking out into the water and speaking with one another. A couple of them are smoking, but otherwise they seem unassuming. They’re clearly the marks. So now all that needs to happen is to wait.<</vnline>> <<vnmediaat "waterpistolgame">> [img["ressources/images/drugopportunity/waterpistolgame.webp"]] <</vnmediaat>> <<vnline narrator key:afterwaiting>>After nearly an hour of waiting, the men start to move. A couple of them bend over the railing and begin pulling something up. You watch and see that they bring up what appears to be a large chest. It almost looks like something you’d see in a pirate movie. Whatever is inside, doesn’t matter very much. It just needs to be taken. That’s the job. Damir is the first to move. Drawing his pistol and aiming it towards the five men as he advances. You draw yours as well, advancing to cover him. In your periphery you see the others approaching as well. You aren’t sure who fired the first shot. But eventually the bullets started flying.

Rolling over, the sight of blood soaking your black shirt is impossible to miss. You’re struggling to stay conscious. But an image burns into your mind.

<<nobr>> <<vndialogbox>> <<vnline narrator>>The Den is unusually quiet today. The moment you step in, it looks half deserted. Like you came in on a holiday. Or like if the gang fled. But there were a few people over towards the center of the main warehouse floor. Circled around a table. They don’t seem to notice you at first until the sound of the door closing behind you alerts them to your presence. There are a few people there, staring at you. But the only three you immediately recognize are Vitalyy, Damir, and Nick. <</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>><<print $chars.player.firstName>>, my good man. Come quickly, you’re just in time.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>You walk over and shake Vitalyy’s hand to greet him. Then you take a look at what’s sprawled out on the table.

Damir with little emotion shown, Nick smiles warmly.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Wonderful, I believe everyone that I wish to be here, is now here. I can begin properly.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Vitalyy stands at the head of the table and begins pointing to various spots on it as he explains each aspect.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>The plan is so simple, that if we do it properly, no one will be aware the theft has occurred. This will be a smash and grab. But trust me when I say the execution will be much more elegant than the description. An assault from three directions will have them pinned, with nowhere to go, and no way to get help. We eliminate them, we take what we want, and we leave with no record of us ever being there. Are there any questions, before I continue?<</vnline>> <<vnline player>>Yeah, what are we stealing?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>A gang that has been quietly attempting to muscle their way into our city has a shipment coming in and we are going to take it for ourselves. We are not entirely sure what they are bringing, just yet. But whatever it is, it is not as important to me as the harm it will inflict upon them to lose this shipment. We will teach those that attempt to harm us that there are consequences to their actions.<</vnline>> <<vnline nick>>Right, right I got one. Any back up plan? Like if we get fucked and have to dip, we got a place to meet up later at?<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>No. If this plan goes awry, we will scatter. Minimal contact for the next day or so will be necessary. We will return here, to the den, to confer and regroup three days after the event. Understood?<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Everyone present nods their head in understanding.<</vnline>> <<vnline vitalyy>>Good. We will meet at the coast. Make sure you buy some black clothes. Damir should have some if you do not. Come after 18:00. And be ready for anything.<</vnline>> <<vnline narrator>>Vitalyy disbands this meeting as suddenly as it began.
