A Wild Event has Appeared!
Heeeey, StE-ers, who wants to talk about how the mafia has gotten info on over a dozen Numbered over the past seven weeks? I sure do. Let's talk consequences!
Have at it!
This here will be a plotting and questions post for things happening over the next two weeks: do you want the mafia to strike at your character in any way? They could do anything from just trying to scare them to trying to ruin their livelihood. They could even do nothing at all, and just bide their time until later! (Everything here is totally optional.)
Meanwhile, how did the mafia know any of this? That there sure is a mystery. Someone from the Network must have leaked! Here's the place to plot possible investigations and ask questions.
Have at it!
PLOT UPDATE
Here is what the mods say about the enforcers out to scare/do damage to people:
"They can be NPCed - the members will be mostly one purely human leader and one to three modified enforcers. Their victims will receive some kind of warning that this town belongs to Albero or "the family" or something along those lines."
Then, in a recent message:
"In my original message, I noted that groups consist of one regular human leader and one to three enforcers - I'll clarify here to say they've been modified with the abilities of a leopard. There won't be any Bloody Keys involved in these incidents, it will be entirely humans and modified humans. The leopard abilities will manifest in: speed, jumping and climbing abilities in combination with above-human strength. They'll be difficult opponents, armed with knives and in some situations sledgehammers and at least one gun per group, but not invincible. It'll depend on the character, but most should be able to get some hits in. These groups aren't looking to kill or mortally injure anyone, though if someone wants a broken arm or something that'd be okay.
"If anyone would like an NPC encounter, that's fine, I'll arrange for it! If they don't, that's fine, too."
Questions, comments, cheers? Have at all of them, that's why I'm here.

Re: PLOT UPDATE
if Shou gets jumped, he has speed, strength and crazy mad agility on top of gun-fu so they will have to work for it, but I believe that some family property is going to get trashed, right? But also we are looking at them testing him and bringing him over to the mob-side, that cna start too.
Which means.... will need to post soon.

Although, he won't stand much of a chance against three modified people. He does have his shadow mimicry he could use to try and get the upper hand on people, but he doesn't have any additional strength or endurance to assist him with that. Aside from that, he can summon a knife or a flame from his fingertips, heal himself (or others) of minor injuries and broken bones. It's all right if he sustains a couple of deep injuries since he has a 'second skin' that will act as a temporary bandage to stop him from bleeding out -- unless he accidentally consumes one of the modified being's blood which will cause a 'filtering' system to take over and render Xander helpless.

One question to take into account is how mauled you want Xander by the end, and that might determine how big a fight Xander puts up; after all, if you'd like him to be really mauled, they could get him with something like a clock to the head that makes it hard to fight for the rest of the encounter, or etc.
no subject
Aye, it is a big decision with a lot of options to pick from. It doesn't help that I'm rather indecisive on which path to go with because my brain enjoys simulating the possibilities. Which is why I listed all of his current abilities to help sort things out.

Daytime, Before the break in/vandalism
-A shady looking guy comes into the coffee shop inquiring about the shop's owner. He makes L uneasy and speaks with an accent he recognizes as a Sicilian dialect commonly used among Mafiosos. L is evasive and intentionally dense, claiming to be a barista who wasn't even supposed to be scheduled that day.
-Shady guy asks a few others (maybe your character?) about the owner, as well as other numbered names. Do you follow L's example and play coy, or give the guy some information?
Night time, the break in/vandalism
-Only really relevant for late workers and/or people staying in the upstairs apartment! This would be after closing.
-Fighting, y/n? Injury, y/n? GTFO, y/how? I'm thinking everyone will probably need to evacuate and L can be the one shoving them out the fire escape if need be.
The next day, aftermath
-L will make an audio post about what happened. He'll keep it vague, saying that the shop will be closed for a few days. Action-wise, for anyone who drops by or is supposed to be there anyway, they'll be treated to the sight of:
A broken espresso machine (smashed to bits), lots of broken glasses and alcohol bottles, smashed mugs, cash register akimbo. The wall mural will have anti-numbered slurs and graffiti and obscenities marking it up, and depending on whether or not someone told the shady guy who the owner of the coffee shop was, there'll be a specific warning for L.
If you want your character to out him, there will be a mannequin mocked up to look like him, with the letter "L" carved in its chest, hanging from a ceiling-mounted noose in front of the mural.
If no one said anything, the hanged mannequin will be generic and unmodified, save for the carved L.
-This is the warning I'd like for my character, but if you want a specific warning for your character, add it on here!
Re: PLOT UPDATE
I hope this was an intentional Clerks reference. :')
Misato almost certainly will stop by anyway to check things out (she's nosy). She'll offer to help clean up the place if L would like the help.
no subject
Misato can be as nosy as she likes! L's post is up here and she is welcome to drop by and witness the destruction.

Re: PLOT UPDATE
He will help clean up though and probably be freaked out because Alexi is a wuss. Freaked out and maybe a tiny bit pissed.
no subject
Said post is here! L will owe a debt of gratitude to whoever steps up to help him stick it to the thugs and reopen by Thursday.
