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!
 
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!

I've got no problem with offscreening, but one thing I'd like to know for the after-stuff: would the mafia people start hitting harder if they know their target can self-heal?

Fffffffff

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.

Since I volunteered Xander for assault, I'm fine with either logging it out or hand-waving.

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.

After thinking about it some more, I think I'm going to hand-wave it.

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.

Gonna link everyone interested in Espresso Yourself plot to this, which comprises my ideas for this part of plot! This is an outline for how I envision it going down and I'm content to handwave or set a log up with NPCs, but in *case* everyone would prefer to handwave, I just need to know if this works for folks and what (if anything) they'd like to add for their characters.

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!

"claiming to be a barista who wasn't even supposed to be scheduled that day."

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.

Haha totally. I love Clerks. <3

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.

Thanks! I'll try and hit it up today or tomorrow. It's been a busy week for me!

If the guy is talking like a mafioso, Alexi has seen enough mobster movies that he'd probably be suspicious by default and not say anything. He might give L an unsure look at most, although that could also be interpreted as two coworkers conferring equally "this is bizarre" expressions. He is, however, terrible at lying and it will probably be obvious that he knows something.

He will help clean up though and probably be freaked out because Alexi is a wuss. Freaked out and maybe a tiny bit pissed.

He definitely has dat Sicilian accent, so between that and the look that L would shoot back at him, it's probably safe to say that it would be enough for Alexi to find it bizarre enough not to say anything. In the post I put up today concerning the aftermath, I've gone with the vandals not knowing L's identity and going with the generic mannequin.

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.

mordin will probably be able to scare his attackers off fairly easily with a neuroshock or two, since it has enough radius to catch at least two people. he'll probably throw up a post on the network afterwards, but i wouldn't mind also playing it out with NPCs.
