“H-He slapped me! Howie slapped me and locked himself in his room!” Tears are flowing from Olivia’s face as soon as you get back home from school. You drop your things to the ground and check on your little sister. It’s a little red, but nothing major.
“C’mere, don’t yell so loud or the neighbors will hear you, and you don’t want them to think this [i]big girl[/i] is a crybaby.” You hug her in an attempt to calm her down. Slapping? When did [i]he[/i] ever resort to slapping? “Let’s put some ice on it, mmkay?” After she calmed down a bit, you grab her hand and move to the kitchen together.

You’re Aurora Dewitt, last year of high school, 18 in a few weeks and the second oldest of 7. You don’t do any good in school, or anything else for that matter, but… you just haven’t found what you’re really good at yet! That’s all!

Your family situation is… complicated, without going into details – you’re the one responsible for everything when your mom isn’t here, but it’s better for you to clarify as things go. You live in a small cheap apartment. Cheap floor, thin walls, bad neighbors – you name it. And that’s not even taking into account the size of your family. Well, your youngest brother doesn’t live here so it could be worse.

“I-It burns!” Olivia starts twitching once you put some ice on her cheek. Olivia is 11 and the third youngest, she’s very book smart, great grades and all but she has a little bit of an ego. She doesn’t have many friends either.
“Care to tell me why this happened?” You cannot comprehend what made [i]him[/i] so mad this time.

“It actually wasn’t my fault at all, maybe he’s getting to that age where all his testosterone gets in his brain and makes him act all irrational!” Now that things have calmed down, Olivia is acting like her normal snobby self.
“I never said it was your fault.” But you were assuming it. Sometimes she can’t just stay quiet, not that she deserved to be slapped for that, no sir.

“I just showed how I aced my exams again, and then puff! Jealousy!” From her pocket Olivia shows her perfect score to you. She likes being praised. “Also, praise me!” She lowers her head expecting to be headpatted.
“You did so great! [i]Chan chan chan[/i]!” For every chan, one stroke on her head. You should expect it at this point from Olivia, but knowing your family, keeping this going is a feat! “So he got mad ‘cause you flaunted your grades on him, huh?”

“Flaunt? Ha! So my exquisite vocabulary is rubbing off on you after all.” Olivia adjusts her glasses.
“Just answer the question, twerp.” You pout. You read books sometimes too!

“If you think that was it, you must’ve cheated!” That’s your other sister Bruna. She’s 13 and it’s on the heavier side of the scale, she believes she needs to enjoy food until she’s 15 and will get as skinny as you are. You always tell her it is not that easy. Olivia and Bruna usually get along just fine, but she decided to intervene, that’s weird.
“What else but simple jealousy could conduct such behavior in that simple man?” Olivia looks up in disdain for him.

“That simple man is your brother.” You correct Olivia.
“Half-brother.” Olivia corrects.

“Then Bruna and I are your half-sisters then.” You gently use her head as a bongo.
“No! You’re my real sisters because I love you!” Olivia pouts. She’s really the simple-minded one here. You pat her head anyway.
“If you think you’ll get praise from me for saying that, think again!” Bruna is acting a little more aggressive than normal.

But despite all that, he’s the one who’s worrying you the most…

“You impudent oaf! You’re just saying all that because you and Howie are buddies cause he’s letting you eat all his desserts now!” Olivia accuses Bruna with a conspiracy of her own. You thought Howie and Bruna hated each other, well most of your siblings hate him – but it’s not like real hate. Sibling stuff.
“I-I wouldn’t have to resort to that if you didn’t stop giving me yours! B-Besides, Howie isn’t that bad when you get on his good side...” Bruna admits without hesitation. Everyone in this house is easily bought over with the right offer…

“You cast doubts into my words only to bring Aurora to your side! I knew it! A-And you know why I stopped! You’re 30 pounds heavier than last year!” Olivia has a point.
“I’m GROWING, you chipmunk!” Bruna is offended and insults back.
“Shut it, you fat SHEEP!” This is a full-blown battle.

One that you ignored halfway through! You walked a couple of inches towards your older sister’s room and knocked on the door. Technically, it’s hers and your mom’s room but your mom likes to sleep with whoever wants her around. She doesn’t sleep next to you that often – n-not like you really want her to! Your siblings need her more! Where were you? Oh right, talking about your big sis.

Her name is Sina and she’s soon-to-be 20. She’s shy and quiet but extremely weird in a bad way. She likes dark things and cryptic stuff for some reason – she even dyed her hair black and wears that awful makeup all over her face.

Sina has always been ‘unstable’ so to say. When she was 8, she was diagnosed with depression, and from 14 she refused to leave the apartment – until she finally shut herself into this room a couple of years back. You remember your mother going around taking care of her, watching her med times, dragging her to hospitals and the psychiatrist since forever. There are days when Sina refuses to move and your mom has to do everything for her… And it hasn’t changed one bit, feels like she gets all the attention most of the time, so you had to take care of the others so they don’t feel left out. All right, she is a little bit better now as she doesn’t ‘turn off’ anymore, but the whole situation irks you either way.

“C’mon Sina.” You knock again! You would do it harder, but you don’t want another hole in it. “D-Don’t tell me you’re doing ‘that’ again…”
“W-W-What’s w-wrong…?” The door slightly opens and Sina’s head peeks out. Something smells really bad inside her room…

“That smell… Are you doing ‘that’ again?” You cover your nose. You know that’s the way she gets money, but she needs to do something about that!
“N-No… n-not du-during the day…” Sina shakes her head. “Y-You wanna jo-join…?”

“With mom’s old videos all over the internet? I’m fine.” You’re still in school too, they could expel you or something!
“I-It’s good money… I’m just sayin’…” Sina creepily smiles. This is why you can’t have a normal conversation with her! Not even the boys at school are this creepy!

“W-Were you listening to what happened?” You prefer going back to what you came for.
“A-About Ho-Howie…? Yeah…” Sina admits. “B-Both a-are wrong… One is lying… the other is assuming stuff…”
“Can you not be cryptic about it?”
“Give me your share.” No mumbling. Sina wants… wants…

Your share…. She wants your desserts! How evil!

>What do you do?

“Fine, whatever, take it.” That’s one way to ruin your mood, but if that’s what it takes to know the truth that’s the price you’ll pay…
“B-Bring it n-now… Mine t-too…” Sina gets shy all of a sudden.

You walk a couple of steps to the kitchen, open one of the 2 minifridges and take the shares for Sina… You begrudgingly go back and hand it all to this diabolical girl.

“T-Thanks…” At least Sina is polite about it.
“Why do you want so much ice cream anyway?” This is one question you’re going to regret asking. “If you eat all that you’re going to get so fat it won’t even be funny.” It would be hilarious.

“To po-pour it all over me la-later.” Sina spouts with an ounce of shame.
“Y-You’re going to WASTE it?!” This offends you greatly.

“Y-You c-can lick it off me if y-you wa-wanna. You j-just ha-have to join me…” Sina sports another creepy smile. No thanks!
“Humph! Just tell me what I want to know.” You don’t even want to imagine it.

“Howie… did slap Olivia…” Sina is talking as clearly as she can without malice fueling her. “…out of the way. H-He was watching something… prohibited. Something Olivia can’t see...”
“Porn?” In the living room?! You two talked about this!

“N-No… Hehehe…” Sina’s laugh is something of a bad omen to you. “S-Something ‘dangerous’… or so he said… Something about some fire…”
“Flames or something…?” You’re starting to feel another type of bad omen now, you know a little about Howie’s weird activities. Sina nods but seems confused. What could he possibly be watching that Olivia couldn’t? Was it really that dangerous? “Thanks, Sina.” You turn around and sit on the floor, where else can you go to think? You hear Sina slowly closing her door…

You know what happened now, but this isn’t the end of the story, what should you—…

“I’m sorry for calling you a fat sheep!” Olivia loudly apologizes. Olivia and Bruna are hugging each other.
“I’m sorry for calling you a chipmunk!” Bruna is apologizing too. They made peace, how nice!

Wait, what were you thinking just now?

Oh right! You were thinking about checking on your little brother Howie, the source of all this commotion. He’s hiding something important and dangerous, and you need to address it! You don’t want him to get hurt or worse. You cannot waste any time! None at all! It’s not like you’re afraid of ‘something’…

Howie is the 3rd oldest of your siblings, he’s 15 and the only guy who lives here. He’s kind, honest, and determined – but he really holds onto grudges and he thinks he’s more clever than he really is. You don’t want to play favorites, but Howie was the first one you had to take care of, so you two are quite attached.

…Well, that was true until a couple of months ago. Howie suddenly changed from his usual chill self to an obsessive big head. He’s always scheming something, meeting up with strangers and doing odd jobs for people – all with the goal of ‘saving the world’. You remember him being so excited to tell you all this stuff about demons and the fight for control of the world, how he finally found his purpose, but then one day… he just started ignoring everyone, it was like someone sucked the soul out of his body. You kind of ignore him for the most part ‘cause if what he says is true…

What’s the point of being alive anymore?

…

You knock on the door to his room a couple of times without getting an answer, which means it’s totally fair for you to use the key! It’s your room too after all, despite not spending much time in there lately, it’s all Howie’s now.

Howie is working on something in the bottom part of the bunk bed, he even put a little curtain just to hide his work – you took a glimpse once and it looked like a conspiracy theorist’s mural or something straight from a police show. It breaks your heart how much Howie is wasting his life in there…

“Hey Wie. You there?” You try to gather his attention from outside his fort.
“What’s wrong?” Howie is listening, he sounds busy.

“Can you tell me what happened outside?” You want to hear it from his mouth.
“Nothing.” Howie is not interested in talking.

“That’s not true, you slapped Olivia in the face.”
“Yeah, I slapped ratty’s face ‘cause she was boasting about her stupid grades again.” Howie replies with disdain. “Is that all? I’ll apologize later.”

>How do you respond?

>Open the curtains. You can’t talk directly without seeing each other.
>“I know you’re lying, Howie. That wasn’t the reason.”
>“Yeah, that’s all. What are you doing anyway?”
>Write In.

You get closer to his fortress and open the curtains! If you’re going to talk, it has to be face to face! He could be ignoring you for all you know!

“I know you’re lying, Howie. That wasn’t the reason.” You say with conviction…

…Until you take a good look at what’s inside, it’s even worse than last time! It has little red lines pointing from picture to picture! So many new faces! Cut newspapers! And so many notes! It’s so convoluted it looks to you like science homework! Since when did your little brother become a serial killer?!

“Howie. Do you suck the water out of people?” You’re 100% serious about this question.
“W-What?! No! I’m not that serial killer guy!” Howie pushes your face out of his realm of madness. You move his hand out of your face and drag him out of the bed. Now you’re both standing with the papers on the wall at full display. “C-Careful, I’m still hurt!”

“W-Why did you lie to me again?” You confront Howie once and for all.
“Watch what you're doing, I almost dropped my laptop too…” Obfuscated, Howie replies. The laptop is standing sideways on the bed, the screen is visible.

“You pushed her out of the way because you were watching—”
“Yeah, porn. My bad.” Howie interrupts you just to lie again.

“Stop lying. I know it wasn’t porn, perv.” You pout.
“P-Perv? Look who’s talking, show off…” Howie is going there.

“I know you always try to change the subject when you feel trapped! I’m your sister, remember?” You make it painfully obvious he’s not going to get away with this.
“B-Bruna couldn’t keep her mouth shut? She was supposed to back me up here… I trusted her…” Howie feels betrayed. “Shouldn’t you be making dinner? You don’t want that round sheep to get angry. I’ll just eat instant noodles, so don’t bother me.”

“Wie, focus. And no, it wasn’t Bruna who told me.” You need to preserve their good relationship! The less fights in this household the better!
“B-But ratty didn’t see it…” Howie has a revelation. “Sina…”

“It doesn’t matter who told me what. I gave you 3 chances to tell me the truth and you kept lying! Now tell me what you’re hiding. I know it’s dangerous.”
“I’m not hiding anything.” Howie looks away. “Just like your clothes.”

“And just like your laptop too!” You jump at the chance and leap towards the laptop! “Lemme check!”
“You stop right there, Rora!” Howie tries to chase after you, but his wounds don’t let him move as fast as he wishes.

“Nuh-uh!” You have it in your hands, now you skim over it real quick. You see a video running, maybe it’s a livestream? He’s chatting up with some people: ‘Strawberry’, ‘4otan’, ‘XBladeX’, Ugh… Toby’s lame nickname is there too.

The video is in a dark blueish place and there are a couple of guys moving around in front of the camera, they are cultists. They're very close to the camera obscuring it for the most part.

“What’s this…?”
“None of your business.” Howie forcefully takes the laptop from your hands, closes it and starts walking away. “Rora, you had your chance to help me out but that’s loooong gone. Now stop pestering me while I’m trying to save the world.”

“What…?”
“If you intervene the same thing that happened to mom is going to happen to you. I still like you, Rora. Don’t test my patience.” Howie left the room. You’re still not sure what's even happening.

Did the Flames get Mom…? How does that work again?

‘The same thing is going to happen to you’? What did Howie do to your mom? You feel like you’ve been shot in the gut. Howie gets a little vindictive sometimes, but that doesn’t mean he likes hurting people needlessly, he’s always the one regretting all his mistakes during the night. Y-You need to put a stop to whatever he’s planning or else your family is not going to be much of a family anymore. But more importantly, Mom is in danger!

Your mother, Holly Dewitt, is a kind and incredibly naïve woman who is almost 40 and works odd jobs, currently the least odd of them all: a cashier.

She was abandoned at birth and was part of a government plan called the Children of the Future (CotF), you don’t know the details, but your mother didn’t have decent enough grades to apply to any sort of scholarship or decent job – she was stuck at the bottom of the barrel. While working as a cleaning lady, one of her clients approached her to work in pornography, promising her that with a couple of years of work and the right investments she won’t have to worry financially for the rest of her life. She accepted and he turned into her manager. Saying she did well would be an understatement.

A couple of years into this deal, Mom found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Once her manager heard the news, he bailed out on her and disappeared off the face of the earth with all her money. Why? Because your mom signed a contract with an important agency for a shoot and the only requisite was that she wasn’t pregnant, she kept it a secret from him until it was too noticeable to hide. She was sued after this and fell into an enormous debt. During the next years she downgraded from Pornstar working 2 jobs to prostitute working 2 jobs. Eventually, her services weren’t required and she stuck to working mundane jobs.

But it begs the question, why did none of the men she hooked up with help her out with the debt? The answer is simple: they didn’t want to, they didn’t need to. In fact, the last one used it against her, the fact that 2 of your siblings (Gisella and Pammachio) come from that man makes you sick.

Still your mom did her best to provide for all your siblings, and will always be a great mom!

That took a long time to reminisce… Where were you? Right! You need to decipher whatever this weird ass constellation on Howie’s wall means. It looks really complicated, but you must get the meaning soon or else…

Howie did mark the hell out of it, so you start checking out what looks to be important.

Oh, you remember this one! It’s the guy from the other day who hooked up with mom, the one Howie said he was his bully from high school, ‘Trent’ was it? Howie really did a number on his picture! Also, Trent looks at least 20 and you’re being nice! There is no way he’s a high schooler, sheesh. Howie was furious with mom for this. What is he holding against mom anyway? She can have fun when she wants! You mean when it’s appropriate of course, they did it when none of you were here. Besides, he wasn’t that bad at all! He taught Olivia how to defend herself against bullies, helped Bruna with her hair and made us all dinner! Too bad the guards kicked him out. Not your type though…

You saw this one on TV! Ammirati-something! He was really funny and hot, but the cult stuff is so eugh to you that it brings his score to a 0…! Wait, cult! Mom! Focus!
Oh my god, what’s Grandmaster Neko doing here?! She looks all weird… Ngh! Nobody should know that you like that game! It’s your mind, you can think what you like! But still! It would be so embarrassing…

This spunky guy, you know him too, he said something about making you a ‘proper lady’ while staring directly at your breasts. Vender something. He’s attached to this troublemaker you know very well, Aleister Price. He’s the worst…

This little girl with glasses, she goes to your school, she’s always at the library – and you know for sure she’s the leader of the Bear Claw. You saw her defeat the previous leader with one punch. You don’t think anyone would believe you if you tell them though.

That woman’s hair is huge! You wonder if Bruna’s hair can rival it.

The politician who was locked up recently, Lloydington! Your Mom always talks about when they met once at… Wait! YOUR MOM!

That’s YUNG-P… She’s involved in all this? You’ll have to get rid of her music if she’s evil… Gisella won’t be happy about it either.

You know all conspiracies need to have the picture of the President somewhere. You thank Howie for looking more like a lunatic and making this harder for you.

O.M.G.! You find this guy with glasses and messy hair super cute! He’s really your type! You really want to meet him! Howie doesn’t seem to like him one bit though, it’s in a worse state than the Trent pic – and you can’t read his name either thanks to it. …You sounded like your mom for a minute there. W-Wait! Your Mom!

This lanky looking dude, he’s always dressing up at the arcade… N-Not that you go there often.

You wonder, why is this old dude’s picture all fine? It says Kazuchika Storgaard down below… Maybe he’s the key to all of this?

That fat woman is exactly how Bruna is going to look like if she doesn’t exercise. You shouldn’t be this mean…

Your mom is in there too…

Y-You need to focus! Stop thinking random stuff!


“Wait, I get it! I just need to think like Howie! It all starts with this guy… But who is he? Doesn’t matter! Time to solve this!” You take a picture of this confusing mess and start scribbling notes on your phone. You’ll do the cult part and maybe you’ll get your answer!

…

After a couple of minutes, the answer is clear, Howie sent your mom to a brainwashing cultist Spa with a camera on her without her knowledge or consent to discover where their base is because they take all their brainwashed to their secret base today – and they want to make sure if they have some sort of secret entrance they can use to stop them from their evildoings!

…

…

…

And how are you supposed to stop that?!

‘Your Knowledge is now Level 2 after deciphering the secret code! Congratulations’

Your head feels funny.

>>4092242

We need to keep him from getting the family involved in his hangups but he seems to be trying to do some good in his own flawed way. As long as he doesn't endanger the family with his antics, we should leave him alone.

>>4092268
Support. Howie knows more about this stuff than we do so impeding him outright wouldn’t be smart. We should be there to keep him from doing anything drastic like using our mother as bait however.

>>4092268
>As long as he doesn't endanger the family with his antics
What part of “Selling his mom into a brainwashing sex slave trade” you didn’t get? He’s ALREADY put this family in a jeopardy by removing the only adult caretaker. When child protection service will know about it, there will be no stops on “Take away the kids into orphanage” train.

>>4092247
Ground Howie for punching his sister, figure out more permanent solutions meanwhile.

>>4092285
I'm looking towards the future here. Obviously saying that what Howie was reckless and rather cold is an understatement but at the same time, he's actively trying to take down a great threat. Getting in his way might spell doom for some unfortunate souls if he isn't at the right places when needed.

>>4092346
*what Howie did

>>4092346
>he's actively trying to take down a great threat.
Sure, some insignificant nerd in glasses is sure is greatest threat of all. We totally must help him to strip more girls at a gunpoint.

>>4092374
If the cult is no problem then why did we (Johnny) bother dealing with them? I never said that Howie was some efficient spy or the worlds greatest detective but I'd rather steer him in a more stable direction than shut him down completely without knowing any of the details whatsoever.

By the way,, did that actually happen and if so could you tell me the thread number? I'm at a weird place in the quest right now in that I've read the early and latest threads but I haven't completely gotten through the middle yet.

>>4092383
>Voting when you don't understand the entire context
This is so stupid

Daily reminder that Johnny raped Nina and we must help Howie to take him down.

>>4092393
Could we please keep things civil? If my ignorance annoys you why don't you enlighten me?

>>4092396
I'm not saying this to be a dick but I'm not gonna spoonfeed you the entire quest either, you should read the quest before you vote, not doing so is just poor form. The archives are right there to read, I genuinely suggest you read them before making potentially important decisions

>>4092416
See this? >>4092383
I'm at a weird place in the quest right now in that I've read the early and latest threads but I haven't completely gotten through the middle yet.

I've clearly read through much of this quest and all I asked for was a thread number so I could understand the event you were referencing. If you don't know just tell me and I won't bother you further.

>>4092425
I think he is saying that Howie is not trying to stop the cult or whoever, he is going after people who have wronged him. Like giving his mum to the cult because his bully fucked her.

>>4092486
Clearly Howie's motivations are guided by the desire for vengeance but if he gave up his mom to the cult solely for revenge he wouldn't have bothered putting a camera on her. He's obviously scoping out the cult and trying to learn their secrets. Since he isn't officially affiliated with them and is determined to "save the world", it's obvious that he planned on taking action against the cult.

>>4092576
Vengeance against whom?

File: Society man.png (648 KB, 779x591)

648 KB PNG

>>4092656
Society.

>>4092576
The cult also wants to "save the world" by wiping the slate clean. I don't think we can just assume Howie's intent out of character, since every faction has their own way to "save the world." This stuff is too obtuse for anyone to just look at and think they know what's up. A lot of important shit happens in those threads you haven't read, so speed read that shit.

>>4092247

OK holy shit people can we just GET FUCKING DISCUSSION IN THIS FUCKING THREAD???
>Matilda has ties to Madam Beatrice von Riegel who owns a certain Donny Pops soda chain according to one of the recent threads. Maybe due to rival businesses? Ties from her grandfather?
>Madam Beatrice von Riegel has ties to Nariko AND to Trent?! Did Trent fuck up some of her workers or businesses or something with his gang activity from before? But why is Nariko there? Maybe link from her rich artist parents living overseas?
>JJ has ties to both Ichie Saionji and fucking LLOYDINGTON?! So does that mean he's been a covert double-agent this whole time? Living on the fourth floor of Johnny's apartment building, literally within walking distance?! What's his role in SPR events if at all?
>SPR PEOPLE ARE CRUCIAL TO ALL THIS, WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW BUT HOLY SHIT
>Aleister Price has ties to fucking KA-SHING AND TO TRENT?! Figures, both delinquents that are hard to fucking put down or stop but... they're in two different places. Maybe they knew each other prior? Maybe Aleister moved from Pokyo Lokyo or Trent moved to the capital earlier in his life? Why does Ka-Shing have a link to Aleister Price then?
>Ka-Shing has ties to Carol Sung a.k.a. YUNG-P the Youtube idol that brainwashes people for the Cult of Chernabog?! Maybe he helped her get to stardom initially before the Cult got to her?
>What relation does Osgood have to Vivienne Neuville of the Cult? Did Howie add that there because of the other alleyway fight during the Johnny Stabbing arc, or did both knew each other prior? Maybe another girl he fucking dumped like Ajna? One of many he doesn't remember that well?
>What relation does Kaz have to Vivienne? Maybe from the Cult raiding the Stadium meetup early in the timeline, the one Johnny decided not to have his friends attend? The one where Bradford joined them and became a double-agent?
>Strawberry of the White Flare Society, a.k.a. Kaz's crew, has ties to that Mafia Boss?
>What link does Neko have to fucking Bernie of all people? And how does Howie know about that? Maybe he got briefed on how Neko's flame ability and noticed the cats around Cult buildings?
>That guy or tomboy girl at the bottom there, are they related to the police because of their link to Rob Banks? Why are they tied to the Mafia Boss? Double-agent? Ties to Gordon Jr. too!
>That Mafia Boss was one of the people who had a fucking crystal piece back in Judgment Day events. On the way to Kaz and Richard on the rooftop after Osgood died, there was repeated mentions of one of the indicator beams shining down very close to the clinic in one of the buildings a distance away, but stationary. Johnny never went after that one because he was too busy going after Kaz and keeping the clinic guarded, and the identity of whoever had that piece (or still has that piece) is still unknown.
>This Mafia Boss is NOT the Min-Hu Leader from SPR. Something's up there...

>>4092235
>She was abandoned at birth and was part of a government plan called the Children of the Future (CotF)
Again with the CotF plotline being extremely relevant to DYB events...
>While working as a cleaning lady
Same as Ema then.
>one of her clients approached her to work in pornography, promising her that with a couple of years of work and the right investments she won’t have to worry financially for the rest of her life
Somebody with plenty of money to spare and spend?
>Once her manager heard the news, he bailed out on her and disappeared off the face of the earth with all her money.
I'll bet they're still around somewhere. But who are they? Ka-Shing maybe when he was starting out? But Ka-Shing isn't that old, is he? Maybe somebody else then?
>In fact, the last one used it against her, the fact that 2 of your siblings (Gisella and Pammachio) come from that man makes you sick.
Who is "that man"? It must be somebody already relevant in the story. Those two names sound oddly Italian... Perhaps it's Bernie? Maybe somebody else entirely?

And to think some random pornstar from one passing drawing from one of the earliest fucking threads... ends up THIS relevant. I fucking love this fucking quest and the fucking conspiracy webs constantly being a thing. I don't know any other quest that does things like this.

>>4092883
I agree that the chart is incredibly important and gives us a lot of relevant information but I think just greentexting everything won't actually lead to any discussion as you need multiple people for a discussion. The most interesting points to me are Double J's connection to Ichie and Lloydington, Strawberry's connection to the mafia boss, and Vivienne's connection to Osgood

JJ's a guy so Ichie knowing him isn't too weird on its own but his latter connection is incredibly suspicious.

We know nothing almost about Strawberry so I have no idea what to make of it, was it a good or bad relationship?

And Vivienne is another total mystery, she goes to college according to the doc so they could very well go to the same one, it begs the question though if she knew him before or after he got his entity. And her relationship to Kaz of all people is also surprising.

A couple of corrections to some of your points:
>That guy or tomboy girl at the bottom there, are they related to the police because of their link to Rob Banks? Why are they tied to the Mafia Boss? Double-agent? Ties to Gordon Jr. too!
That's Zama Valataro of the Valataro family from SPR. They're part of the min-hu alliance and they're on the side that wants the SPR mafia boss dead. They're connected to Gordon as well as our mafia boss which is hardly reassuring

>On the way to Kaz and Richard on the rooftop after Osgood died, there was repeated mentions of one of the indicator beams shining down very close to the clinic in one of the buildings a distance away, but stationary. Johnny never went after that one because he was too busy going after Kaz and keeping the clinic guarded, and the identity of whoever had that piece (or still has that piece) is still unknown.
That wasn't him, he gave his crystal to Rikidozan and had him guard at the central hospital. Considering what happened there it was a smart move. This is just my theory but I believe that it was more likely that it was Oliver who had that crystal and Wildflame brought him to Calamity clinic cause he was so close

>>4092885
>Who is "that man"? It must be somebody already relevant in the story. Those two names sound oddly Italian... Perhaps it's Bernie? Maybe somebody else entirely?
They're the mafia boss's kids, calling it now

>>4092983
>you need multiple people for a discussion
Well you're one person already aren't you?
>JJ's a guy so Ichie knowing him isn't too weird on its own
Yeah she's all about "reforming guys". While Vender is about "reforming girls". Do you think that's a possible thing there? Maybe her "reforming" is as bad as Vender's making girls prostitutes. Wait, there's that prostitution angle again, similar to Howie's mom and hints of it in Peaceful Times. And he thinks he's a main character and uses vacuum cleaners. What do you think his relations are to other characters?
>but his latter connection is incredibly suspicious
Yeah. Him living one floor above Johnny's flat alone is big red flags. He acts very passively though, a loner type for sure. Remember we still do not know how Nariko got involved with Lloydington and the White Flames in the first place. Johnny did not see JJ have ANY flame either, and JJ denied anything suspicious that night Johnny got back to his apartment from the sewer and got power overuse backlash.
>We know nothing almost about Strawberry
Her lines here and there, especially in the aftermath of the WILDFLAME thing in the toy factory prison section, shows a lot of disillusionment with the whole war. Maybe that's why she joined Kaz's crew initially? Maybe it goes deeper than that?
>they could very well go to the same one
Plausible, yeah.
>And her relationship to Kaz of all people is also surprising.
Again, the Monumental Stadium meetup that had Bradford meet Kaz and the rest to join them, but then the cultists raided. Was Vivienne part of the Cult way back then, or is she a recent arrival, though? She's certainly super devout, based on the few lines she has had in the Ka-Shing building collapse interludes and the hospital faceoff against The Behemoth.
>That's Zama Valataro of the Valataro family from SPR.
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me.
>connected to Gordon as well as our mafia boss which is hardly reassuring
Also connected to Banks. Remember him ranting about how good a job the police are doing? That was back during Judgment Day arc, thread 62 in archives.
>“D-Do you have a death wish?! You understand Gordon wants me here, right?! I-I have those yakuza bastards on the ropes, old man! Eighty fucking percent in jail, and the stats don’t lie! Gordon’ll have your head if you fuck this up for me, you hear?!”
And yet Gordon Jr. and Zama Vatalaro are BOTH connected to the Pokyo Loyko Mafia Boss. Banks is kept in the dark by his superiors, as a fall guy? Connected to Rikidozan though, past friendship?
>That wasn't him, he gave his crystal to Rikidozan and had him guard at the central hospital.
Johnny still doesn't know about the hospital fight, does he? Nobody mentioned it yet either.
>my theory
>it was Oliver who had that crystal and Wildflame brought him to Calamity clinic cause he was so close
Then where is it? Did he pass it to Wildflame? The crystal there was stationary. I still say it had to have been somebody else.

>>4092247
>Nothing! There is absolutely nothing you can do! You need to keep this a secret and make sure to stop Howie’s plans from now on! You won’t let him do something like this ever again! Not while you’re alive!

Could you possibly tell me when this happened?
>>4092374
>We totally must help him to strip more girls at a gunpoint.

>>4093002
>Do you think that's a possible thing there? Maybe her "reforming" is as bad as Vender's making girls prostitutes
Ichie is as obnoxious as Vender but less creepy

>What do you think his relations are to other characters?
To this quest? Not much, he lives in a different part of the country. He probably has some relations to some powerful people but I doubt he's that related to the goings on of Pokyo Lokyo himself

>Remember we still do not know how Nariko got involved with Lloydington and the White Flames in the first place.
I mean, she was a white flame user and she was on friendly terms with Barry

>shows a lot of disillusionment with the whole war
That describes most of the assembly desu

>Was Vivienne part of the Cult way back then, or is she a recent arrival, though?
I'd say so, she seems incredibly devout and important

>Johnny still doesn't know about the hospital fight, does he?
No, he doesn't. Officer Jackson did say he wants to meet up tell us about what he saw on that day before he and his wife leave the city. He was there so he'll probably tell us about that among other things so we should talk to him about that soon

>Then where is it? Did he pass it to Wildflame? The crystal there was stationary. I still say it had to have been somebody else.
We don't know who has it, his and Charlie's crystals are the ones that we don't know anything about, all we know is that he lost his. There's nothing suggesting the crystal was there the whole time though so whoever has it could've left after we dealt with Kaz or taking up base there themselves. He most likely didn't give it to Wildflame since it probably would've been mentioned if he had a beam of light hitting him and considering Oliver was in bad shape the obvious implication seems to be that it was taken. All the other crystal were in different parts of the city so I can't think of who else's it would be without some serious stretching

>>4093054
Thread 51. Now go and tell me how Howie is actually just a misunderstood "nice guy" all along anyway

>>4093067
Yes, I reckon I will. All jokes aside, let me clarify that I never described him as such in the past. I view him as an ineffective anti-villain who is in need of serious guidance.

>>4093067
Lay off him. Howie is a fucking hero!

>>4093077
I'm not sure if simple guidance is gonna lead the guy who holds high school girls at gun point on the right path but to each their own I guess?

>>4093081
Oh yes, how could I have been so foolish

>>4093108
I’m glad that i have enlightened you. As the head of the Howie fan club, it is my duty to dispel all unsavory opinions about our lord and savior.

How DARE someone throw a dirt on our lord and savior Howie?!
Clearly, 91m10 has lost his way for not showing how truly Hero Howie is!

>>4091826
>Little shit sold his mom
Yep, he gets a beating for this, where's Trent when we need him?

>>4092247
Oh no, she's infected by the little shit.

>>4093108
They're both in high school so age really doesn't factor into that. As I said before he neither a good person or on our side, not by a long-shot. From Aurora's perspective however, he's doing fucked up things to do the right thing and that's why I voted as I did. If we were playing as Johnny, I would've shut him down and simply have him tell us everything he knows and then turn him in to the cops.

>>4093200
Indeed brother. Let us spread the word of Howie’s infinite knowledge and mercy to those who have gone astray!
>>4093207
>>4093218
>>4093231
Such blasphemy! Homie is a paragon of unlimited virtue and judgement! He’s saving the day one day at a time!

>>4093231
Why wouldn't the fact that she's a highschooler be a factor anymore, it's still monumentally fucked up. And it makes complete sense for Aurora to want to stop Howie from doing something retarded

>>4093255
>Why wouldn't the fact that she's a highschooler be a factor anymore, it's still monumentally fucked up.
I simply made the argument because of the way you mentioned her age. You made it sound like Howie was some 30 year old neckbeard who spends his waking hours jacking it to CP. Howie was obviously in the wrong by trying to create revenge porn of Matilda, but age isn't really a factor in this equation.
>And it makes complete sense for Aurora to want to stop Howie from doing something retarded
I agree and I said as much when I first casted my vote.

>>4093270
>You made it sound like Howie was some 30 year old neckbeard who spends his waking hours jacking it to CP
Not really but ok

>>4093289
Why exactly did you bring up her age?Should Howie not have any urges towards girls his own age? In fact, she's actually older than him.

>>4093301
I brought it up cause it's the fact, it wasn't the whole point of the post nor did it have any extra emphasis. Stop looking for shit that ain't there

>>4093309
But what exactly does her age add to your argument? If you didn't mean anything by it then why bring it up to begin with?

>>4093310
See >>4093309

>>4093317
So if I'm reading between the lines correctly here, you tried to utilize social norms to bolster your argument but took a step back when you realized that Matilda's age in this scenario was a moot point? That sounds reasonable enough.

>>4093336
I have no idea how you can unironically believe the shit your saying but ok

>>4093341
You're not giving me much to work with here so I have to use logic to piece together your motivation for bringing up the topic. You say you're stating facts, which you are but without reason, facts mean little.

>>4093350
Facts mean plenty and I was simply stating one, not as a huge point or anything but that's what you decide to focus on. The entire context of the situation is there for everyone to see but it'll clearly be impossible to convince you otherwise so how about you stop replying to me if you have nothing of value to add, alright? That sounds like a good idea

>>4093350
>without reason, facts mean little.
So you’ve read the sacred texts have you?

>>4093356
No need to get flustered, I'm sorry if I have offended you but you seem to be getting very defensive over such a small matter. Facts are important but reasoning is what gives them value. Understanding the concept of lift alone will not allow you to create a plane, you need to know what to do with it. In the same way, Matilda being high school aged is a fact but you attempted to use that in an improper manner.

>>4093363
Defensive? Do you really not see how you're acting? I'm literally telling you it was wasn't even a point but you insist I'm making Howie sound like a 30 year old neckbeard somehow cause you refuse to believe in any other explanation. I didn't use it in any manner, I stated a fact and that was it. Anybody with reading comprehension can see that. But no, I'm clearly very flustered right now because you have destroyed me with your brain so big that you can read my mind through the screen despite what has been literally written out, I truly never stood a chance. So how about you give yourself a pat on the back for total victory and never reply to me again

>>4093363
Howie hater btfo by FACTS and LOGIC! Have you ever considered joining the Brotherhood of Howie, Based Logician?

>>4093382
>Defensive?
>But no, I'm clearly very flustered right now because you have destroyed me with your brain so big that you can read my mind through the screen despite what has been literally written out, I truly never stood a chance. So how about you give yourself a pat on the back for total victory and never reply to me again
I never said an ill word against you and I never treated you in a dismissive manner. I only tried to understand you and this is how you respond? Don't you see how you're acting? Nevertheless, I intended to keep things civil and if that means disengaging with you then that is what I will do. Thank you for giving me the information I requested.

THE HOWIE REBELION HAS ALREADY BEGUN!

>>4093056
>Ichie is as obnoxious as Vender but less creepy
The dynamic between her and Nariko, which has not been seen yet in-quest, should be something hilarious but also cruelly sad.
>He probably has some relations to some powerful people but I doubt he's that related to the goings on of Pokyo Lokyo himself
I meant one of his relatives.
>she was a white flame user and she was on friendly terms with Barry
Yeah but BEFORE all that.
>That describes most of the assembly desu
Yeah but I find it odd how there's only 5 members of the Assembly. You would think that with a war this ineptly ran that more people would be interested in things. But the stadium shit... that must have been the beginning of the end for most of the people in the war, possibly baited early on into being caught out and killed? Or worse?
>I'd say so, she seems incredibly devout and important
But she was on the news after all this time. What must have happened to her to get her in a cult like this?

Won't wanna miss THAT plot-crucial info, yeah.
>We don't know who has it, his and Charlie's crystals are the ones that we don't know anything about, all we know is that he lost his.

>>4093437
>Yeah but I find it odd how there's only 5 members of the Assembly
Technically there's 9, 10 if you can't Bradford. There's just 5 flame users

>You would think that with a war this ineptly ran that more people would be interested in things
That's the thing, hardly anybody in this war cares about the world. In fact, a lot of people hated the assembly cause they wanted this war to continue so they could win it to achieve their own goals

>But the stadium shit... that must have been the beginning of the end for most of the people in the war
It was, that and the terrorists getting killed since they had good amount of flame users on their side

Sorry Chief. Cannot return to proof yet. When the day comes you WILL know though, first thing. I look forward to more character theme videos though. I liked the one for SPR, as you know. I'm not gonna die anytime soon, you can fucking count on that. I will return to uhhhhhh add more good shit to posts again. Just not now. Now is when things are boring but also dicey on my end. Taking forever to get back the things I lost and to unfuck certain things in my life. Perhaps one day I will feel ready to tell you all I have endured, all the suffering I've experienced. One day...

The truth is that there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop this now, it’s already too late – Howie has become crazy enough to sell his own mother to a group of crazy cultists. Your own little brother, the one you cared about for as long as you can remember, discarded your mom’s trivial information for something he can’t do anything about… and he was willing to do the same thing to you, and maybe even your other siblings.

You love him, your mom loves him, everyone in this house cares deeply for him. But… the little brother you once knew might be too far gone. No. You can’t say that. He’s not gone. You know him, he’s just lost – he’s just doubling down like every time he makes a mistake. He’s a dumbass. He needs his bratty bigger sister to show him that, by any means necessary.

You’re going to put a stop to all of this. He’s not going to hurt anyone else ever again. Not while you’re alive.

…You don’t even notice when you leave the apartment, with one hand holding the railing and the other holding your phone, dialing your mom’s number – it’s not out of reach, so maybe there’s a chance she...! The beeping stops, you hear no voice.

“He-Hello? M-Mom…?” You’re still hopeful that maybe…

A YUNG-P song starts playing, it makes you feel… funny…

…

You realize in time what’s happening and throw the phone away! They were trying to brainwash you or something! Shit, it appears you broke your phone’s screen… I-It still works though.

You hang up and realize it’s over… as you fall to your knees, the reality that your mother is gone sinks in, and a couple of tears fall down your face. You quickly take a napkin from your pocket and clean your face up, if Howie notices you like this, he might get suspicious — plus, you don’t want to think about how the girls would feel if they saw you randomly crying.

“Rora! Rora! Rorororora!” Gisella is in front of you poking your head. You were too submerged in your self-pity party to notice when she got here. But if she’s here that means the guards are with her, or even worse ‘he’ could also be here… “You okay?”
“Y-Yes! It’s just that I missed you so much!” You pretend to be happy as you hug your little sister a little bit too tightly.

“R-Rora, I can’t breeeeeeeeathe!” Gisella finds your love overbearing.
“That’s the price of love! *Smooch*” You start kissing her forehead.

“Is your mother home?” Oh no, it’s him, Gianluigi Youhao. Gisella and Pammachio’s father. For the longest time, you didn’t know what kind of big shot criminal he was, but now you know he’s the head of the mafia. He’s even worse than you thought.
“Sorry, father, she’s out.” You reply while you avoid looking him in his eyes, all people who are beneath him aren’t allowed to. You can’t tell him your mother is lost or he’s going to… No, you can’t think about that now.

He also forced you and your other sibling to call him ‘father’ just on a whim. Bad things happen when you disobey him. But the nerve of him to force you to do that despite none of your siblings knowing who their real fathers are...
“See, Gisella? Your mom’s not here, let’s return home.” Gianluigi acts completely different towards his daughter, it’s night and day.

“I like being with my siblings too!” Gisella wants to stay here! You’re mentally encouraging her!
“Pammachio is your sibling too and he’s home! You two were having a blast today!” Gianluigi won’t relent.

“He’s boring and lame. Lame and boring. Just like you, pops!” Gisella starts laughing. You’re enjoying every minute of this.
“I-I told you to call me ‘father’.” Gianluigi is getting irritated. Funny, how everyone but his own daughter calls him that.

“Boring and lame pops! Bleeeh!” Gisella shows him her tongue, completely ignores the mafia troglodyte, opens up the apartment door and goes inside. Uh oh, you left it open…
“G-Gisella…” Gianluigi, almost resigned, stares at how his daughter leaves him in despair. You cannot help but giggle, Gianluigi glares at you. “You find this funny? You want to get… ‘it’?”

“N-No, sir, I mean father…” Anything but that! When he gets real mad, he makes his guards hold you still and then… he… he… forces you to eat a chilli pepper! It’s awful!

Gianluigi hands you Gisella’s bag and leaves with his bodyguards. No other words exchanged until…

“Tell your mother to call me when she gets back.” Gianluigi doesn’t look back.

…

…

Your mother…

...

Inside the apartment, you just have to pretend everything is fine, might as well do today’s dinner… You take some of the frozen food inside one of the mini-fridges and start boiling some water.

“A-Aurora, is something wrong?” Olivia seems to have noticed your sour mood. She looks quite concerned.
“Me? Humph! I-I’m totally A-Okay!” You pretend everything is fine.

“Mmm…” Olivia doesn’t believe you, but can’t say anything else otherwise. “I-If I gift you my share of ‘that’, will that cheer you up? I can’t give it to Bruna.”
“Like I would’ve accepted!” That’s Bruna, you didn’t notice when she had her big head inside the mini fridge. “H-Here, have my share too.” Bruna hands you two portions of Ice cream. Both of them look mighty worried about you.

“Aww, you two!” You’re a little bit moved; you pat both of their heads.
“Don’t patronize me.” Bruna pouts.
“It’s a sign of affection, Bruna. Enjoy it for what it is.” Olivia gently elbows Bruna to behave.

“You’re the only one who doesn’t like hugs, Bruna.” You pout.
“You and Mom always asphyxiate me!” Bruna looks away. Yeah, you take it too far sometimes, but you really think it feels nice to hug people. Doesn’t help that Bruna’s roundness makes it even better.

“I want a hug! I want a hug!” Gisella appears in between your sisters and jumps into your arms, almost making you lose balance… You hug her tightly. “Yeehehehe…” You put her down.

“Listen up you three! I need to go to the bathroom real quick so keep an eye on this stuff for me.” You point to the food you’re boiling.
“No!” Bruna, Olivia and Gisella don’t want to do it.
“You’ll do it anyway!” You run towards the bathroom, you don’t want to cry in front of them…!

As you make your way to the bathroom, you noticed Howie sitting on the ground near the family kotatsu. He’s glaring at you with his empty eyes… He’s not stupid, he knows you’re up to something – you will need to do your best for him not to find out that you’re going to be the biggest thorn in his side… Not only for him, but for your siblings and… your mom.

You’ve been going through the case files of this department all morning. Over 800 cases of illegal arrests, police brutality and other human rights violations in the last few weeks – but an 82% increase in ‘productivity’. The Pokyo Lokyian Police Force has never been this efficient in years, that’s the mark of the Provisional Chief of Police ‘Rob Banks’, who had similar numbers before his first retirement.

…

When it comes to law, the word ‘productivity’ is just…

…

You’re Judith Leitgeb, an Interpol agent and a N.U. delegate from Yuropstein, graduated as a lawyer in international law in Orange Stars United and for a while you worked as a police detective in your country – all of this before you were 25 years old. Some people called you ‘gifted’, but unlike them you don’t waste your weekends doing nothing of worth.

You arrived in Pokyo Lokyo close to 4 AM in the morning, took a power nap in your hotel room and immediately went to the Police Department you were assigned and started to work on your task: Eliminate corruption in Pokyo Lokyo’s police.

That’s vague, you dislike muddled objectives. In truth, you’re taking over this department and its forces. This country’s President must be a feeble man if international forces can do as they please. Other places were assigned with multiple agents, but it’s above your capacity to do this all on your own, and if someone doubts you – you’ll prove them wrong again.

But you’re not foolish, this task cannot be done alone, the policemen will refuse to work alongside you if they don’t respect your authority and without a workforce there’s no police force. But you can’t surround yourself only with these individuals or they will operate the same as always. Also, you need the input of the people who are familiar with this country.

Speed reading (one of your hobbies) through the police case files from the last 2 months, some names stand out, for both good and bad reasons:

-Roger Jackson (54): Recently retired, his resume is rather average, but all his reports seem to be in place with no signs of being tampered or has any type of complaint on his name. Innocuous, follows the law and a senior that displays respect.

-Richard Wright (26): Detective recently discharged for insubordination. He solved a myriad of cases from little petty thefts to taking down a whole terrorist organization. There are no signs of him being an outlaw, so he must’ve brought his superiors’ wrath onto him.

-Lenny Yabe (31): Another policeman recently discharged. He ran over a child in a confusing accident. Something about him doesn’t add up, the rest of his resume is spotless. Maybe he was blamed for something he didn’t do?

>What do you do?

>>4093947
>Meet with Roger Jackson. Ask him if he could join the force again under your command.
>Meet with Richard Wright. Ask him if he could join the force again under your command.
>Meet the Police Force here first.

While having contingencies is never unwise, it’s rather amateurish to even try to formulate a plan without full understanding of the situation. You must meet up with the men here to have a complete assessment of what exactly you’re dealing with.

The first shift of the day starts in 15 minutes, you must use this time wisely. Maybe you should prepare more coffee; indeed, what better way there is to build up camaraderie than sharing a nice cup of coffee together? Absolutely none. Perhaps adding biscuits will help your cause? It’s too late for such preparations, better to keep it simple too.

You went ahead and prepared a large amount of coffee in the little office’s kitchen. You would say it’s cozy, but it’s too small for your comfort.

And with the time long passed, the first men arrive, they look uncouth, unprepared and unmotivated. If anything, corruption doesn’t seem to be the problem: it’s incompetence. You cordially greeted the police officers and presented yourself. Believe or not, most of them didn’t seem to care even when you detailed what your position entails, the look on their faces tell you, you won’t last very long here. Not even your freshly prepared coffee raised any interest. What a travesty. You believe this place needs a complete overhaul.

But the rather strange atmosphere around comes to an abrupt end when a higher ranked officer appeared in the building, he’s being escorted by two other officers that appear to be explaining who you are and what your deal is. The overweight officer in question looks agitated and not one bit pleased with your presence, he has a fan in his hand and is rather grotesque looking. A completely shameful man.

“W-Who are you? State your name.” The man looks short tempered. The two officers accompanying him facepalm.
“I’m Judith Leitgeb, an Interpol agent brought here by the N.U., I was given complete control over this department.” You explain.

“So the N.U. wants the help of me and my subordinates…” The fat man starts stroking his chin.
“Please identify yourself as well.” You cordially but directly ask.

“Name’s Liam. I’m the Police Sergeant here and a legend. I wasn’t notified of such an arrangement so leave those preten—”
“I have the paperwork in my office. I'll gladly show you.” You interrupt to speed up the conversation.

“W-What office…?”
“104.” You start walking towards it.
“T-That one is mine! W-Who gave you the keys?!” The fat man looks offended! It seems you have gotten to his bad side.

The fat man and his 2 subordinates follow you to your office. Inside, he immediately sits on the main chair just to show his authority, he opens one of the table’s drawers just to find it empty.

“M-My cigarettes…” Officer Liam looks heartbroken.
“I threw them away. They were a waste of space in this office.”
“Grr… Who the hell do you think you are?” Liam has lost his patience.

You take the one paper you wanted to show him.

“Sir, this is the authorization I talked about.” You cordially show it to him.
“No-Nonsense!” Liam takes it from your hand and rips it apart! “If you want my men to collaborate with the Interpol, you need to respect my authority! And that means you work from the ground up! You understand?!” He’s sweating a lot.

“If you want me to contact my superiors and demonstrate to you the autho—”
“Shut up! You’re in my department, you play by my rules, or else…!” He points his hand fan at you.

One of the police officers blocks the exit, while the other closes the curtains…

>How do you respond?

>“Then I believe I have nothing else to do here.” Leave for now. Perhaps you need to find one of the men you were checking out.
>“It’s perfectly understandable. I’ll work from the ‘ground up’ like you said, what task am I assigned now?” Play his game for now. You need more information about the situation and maybe doing some grunt work will help.

“I’m afraid you leave me no choice but to do what I was planning to do since the very beginning.” Knowing your superiors as well as you do, they won’t be happy to hear what has happened here. You pull out your phone from the hidden pocket in your vest, and realize there’s no signal. How troubling. “Or not.”

“Have you realized you have no power here? You fancy pansy new technology is worthless here, I’m an old-fashioned guy, I like my cords.” Officer Liam explains the quaint looking office he has here. From your understanding of electronics, this shouldn’t be exactly possible – unless this place was built specifically for that. “And electronic waves provoke health issues…”

“I believe you’re wrong in more than one front, but despite this shortcoming, I have to remind you I was given complete authority over this department – if I see it fit, any type of insubordination will result in your expulsion from the force and any harm done to my integrity will be penalized by international law. All possible perpetrators will be brought to court and the sentences are quite severe.” You stress more to the henchman than the fat man himself. “This will spark a scandal at an international level, and believe me, your country won’t have any quarrels with putting you to justice.”

“Yeah, if it gets outside, the law in this country is in my favor.” Sergeant Liam knows very little about how the law operates, it would be a problem for him if you weren’t here dealing with corruption on a large scale. “Boys, restrain that woman. I have an idea or two of what to do with her…”

“Sorry sir, but she made one strong case for herself.” The one officer by the curtains rejects his orders.
“If you promised to put your neck out for us, we would do it. But we know you sir.” The one by the door replies.

“Indeed, you know me well…” To your surprise, the fat man admits it. Now you understand the comradery and loyalty between officers is pretty strong in this department. “Tell everyone they’re not allowed to work with or talk to this woman, she can’t have access to any of the case files or on-going investigations, we will put her registration on hold and she must eat all alone at the cafeteria. This is a direct order by me, and yes, I will put my neck on the line for this; because I want you to add a formal complaint to Interpol for this woman’s misbehavior! She broke into my office, vandalized it and went through confidential information without going through the proper channels. I plea for her to be replaced by another agent as soon as possible.”

“Y-Yes sir!” The policeman by the door leaves the room.

“Now woman, you’ve seen I mean business.”

>>4094291
The obese man is really proud of his actions. “But my legendary kindness knows no bounds; I’ll give you a chance, I have to look strong in front of my men, so yes – If you want me to revoke my complaint, working from the ground up isn’t sufficient now… Yes, yes, I want you to go through the whole ‘initiation’. You big shot Interpol agents need to be humbled. Believe me, in 24 hours you will be gone. Or you can bring one of your pansy-ass superiors here, that will be easy, right? Hihihihi…”

“I believe I can move freely now, correct?” He made it painfully clear he’s the first obstacle for your mission’s goal.

“A-Are you going to ignore all I just said?!” Liam looks quite angry. You didn’t do it on purpose…

>What do you do?

>You need access to this department’s resources. You will have to do the whole initiation debacle.
>Contact Richard Wright. You now understand why he left.
>Contact Roger Jackson. Maybe he can be of use.
>Look around the office, try to find officers that aren’t happy with Liam’s regime.

And indeed, you did. You just left your new office to get in contact with the veteran officer, Roger Jackson, good thing you save all your important files in your trusty briefcase, so it’s just a matter of dialing his number. In this country, all state workers by contract can be contacted for a period of 6 months after retirement/dismissal – so it’s within your legal right to do so.

You take a seat in one of the empty desks with a phone, and dialed his number the old-fashioned way. You rather enjoy playing with the cord while waiting for the call to connect.

“Yes?”
“Is this Police Officer Roger Jackson?”

“I’m retired. Ehm… miss…?” He doesn’t sound enthusiastic. Perhaps some of the coffee you made is going to be needed.
“Judith Leitgeb from Interpol. I require your cooperation. Can we arrange a meeting as soon as possible?”

“Interpol…? So it’s something serious…”
“I’m afraid it is, I wouldn’t have bothered you otherwise. Can I count on your services?”

“Even if I didn’t want to, I guess I can’t give you a ‘no’ for an answer… At least you called me at a good time.” Roger sounds comprehensive but tired. “Can we meet up somewhere else that ain’t the Police Department? I’m not in the mood to say ‘hi’ to everyone again.”

“That’s understandable. I’m not familiar with this country yet, so please indicate to me what would be a good place for our meeting...” You take out your pen and notepad.

You took a Taxi to the meeting place; ‘the Cocombo Café’, a local coffee shop near the Police Department – the place is a small hole-in-the-wall. Decent number of customers, unassuming and discreet enough for a meeting. You ordered a cup of coffee to wait in the meantime, the price is excessive and the flavor revolting. This wasn’t worth your money.

You deduce Roger Jackson is willing to attend this meeting because he doesn’t have anything to hide, so he may be the man you need. At last, a man who matches the man’s profile pic appears, you raise your hand to indicate your position and grab his position. He approaches and takes a seat.

“Excuse me…” Roger Jackson looks like a laid-back man.
“Mr. Jackson. I present myself again, I’m Judith Leitgeb and I’m glad you heed my call.” You politely introduce yourself again.

“Hey, no need to be so polite…” Roger Jackson starts scanning you with his eyes. “…What’s with the getup?”
“This is my uniform.” You have 6 copies of it for each day. You take Sundays off.

“All Interpol agents wear that? You’re a flashy bunch…”
“No. I made it for myself.” Flashy? You find the clothes rather tame.

“I guess we’re already going off-topic, hehe.” Roger laughs rather uncomfortably. “So what does Interpol need a civilian for?”
“I need you to answer some of my inquiries, if possible.”

“Already having problems at the office, huh? Doesn’t surprise me one bit. What do you need to know?” Roger is ready to help.

There’s a tingling feeling in your head that Roger Jackson might hide some information at first. It’s just a hunch, but you trust your instincts.

>What do you want to ask him?

>Ask him what kind of man is Police Sergeant Liam.
>Explain your mission here and ask him what, in his opinion, would be the source of corruption in the Police as a whole.

“I want to know what members inside the Police Department would be willing to help my cause.” Like any workplace there must be some people who’re dissatisfied and would be willing to change sides.
“Thank you for saving me the details.” Roger smiles. He asks one of the waiters for Melon juice. “Can I be blunt…?”

“Your honest opinion would be appreciated.” You take your trusty notepad out.
“The whole force is in disarray. Two different Chiefs of Police in the span of a month, one found dead – the other arrested by your men. Both with their big share of loyalists, the incidents from days ago produced in-fighting amongst the men and blood was spilled all over the place from both sides. There is no high command, each police station operates on its own – the department you’re in is no exception.”

“Yes, Interim Chief of Police Rob Banks is awaiting trial at congress as he’s considered the main cause of the events on June 4th, it could very well escalate to the courtroom. The other one, Danforth Villiers was found dead in the streets the same day, and it’s believed Banks was responsible.” You summarize the information you read while on your flight.
“Right, you know your stuff.” For the first time, you see Roger smirk. “I’ll put it all very simply, the higher ups are people loyal to Villiers, and the grunts were on Rob Banks’ side. The big wigs were put into that position thanks to Villiers, so that’s self-explanatory. And you know what the day to day officer enjoys more than a good cup of coffee? Impunity. So they are on Banks' side.” You greatly disagree with the coffee section of his speech.

“So you’re on Banks' side?” You ask.
“I don’t work for my bosses. I’m a police officer, I work for the community, they’re the ones paying my bills.” Roger starts smiling. “…I just did my job as decently as I was able to, that’s it.”

“Then what you’re saying is I should try to recruit regular officers?”
“Nah, young lady. That boat was long gone before you got here. The ones responsible for pressuring congress to make Banks stand trial was the N.U., with you being an Interpol agent and the policemen here being stupidly loyal – there’s nothing you can do. I’m assuming you already got in trouble with Sergeant Liam Patel, so the Villiers’ street is closed too. You’re out of luck.” Roger shakes his head. Is it really late for you to do anything?

“This is quite vexing.” You never had a chance to begin with…? Nonsense.
“I know the feeling.” Roger starts drinking his melon juice.

…If you don’t make any progress during the first weeks of your stay, you’re going to be replaced or even fired if they see fit. You admitting defeat this early? Unconceivable.

>What do you do?

We can simply call our superiors from a landline.

Support. Some of the best solutions are the easiest ones.

>>4095728
>>“What do you suggest I do?”
>>4095740
bad idea. Landline might be wired

>>4095747
And who would wire the phones? Liam? He just found out about us today. We can pick any landline or pay phone in the city and he won't be able to do anything about it.

>>4095759
In fact, if you want to be even more than 99.9% sure that things go smoothly, we can just get a dirt cheap burner phone.

>>4095773
yeah, burner sounds nice. we really should get one.

Surrendering is not an option! So you’re open to alternatives, and since Roger knows a lot more about the situation than you currently do – you believe his input is invaluable now.

“What do you suggest I do?”
“I don’t know how much you like paperwork, but compile everything that has happened to you into a nice report and send them to your superiors immediately, you need to leave records ‘cause the guys here will probably create something against you – and you’ll need something to ensure you’ll be fine.” Roger looks quite serious about it.

“Already done.” You did it on your way here, as soon as Liam told you about being reported, you worked on your files and sent them to your bosses by email. Some would be surprised how much you can do in a short trip.
“Don’t know if I should call you sharp or obsessive, but kudos to you – not many people know how important it is to cover your tracks.” Roger is slightly surprised.

“Now, any suggestions for the real issue at hand?”
“Contact your superior, stay put, maybe enjoy these few days as vacation and wait for their response. I had a friend on Interpol, they really took their time.” Roger is not taking this seriously, you need to stress this point.

“Everything related to Pokyo Lokyo has priority at HQ, we were tasked to fulfill our mission as soon as possible. I can’t waste any time.” Maybe you’re blabbing out more information than strictly necessary, but it’s not important overall – and this will increase the confidence you feel towards each other.
“Priority at HQ? Does that mean the N.U. knows about ‘that’?” Roger slipped up about something.

“Care to explain to me what you’re referring to?”
“I’m afraid my lips are sealed; I barely know anything myself. But if you’re curious, and somehow managed to get going at the office – look for the ‘secret squadron’ and you’ll end up with even more questions.” That doesn’t sound helpful, but you’re intrigued.

“I’m still waiting to hear your real suggestion.”
“I don’t even know what you’re really here for.” Roger takes another sip of his juice. “But if you let me take a guess, the N.U. brought you here to have our police under their control. There’s something we know, your bosses want to know too. You already have control over the whole city with your super soldiers parading around with their big guns scaring the living fuck out of people, so there isn’t another alternative.”

“You’re correct for the most part, but I cannot confirm or deny the N.U.'s motives.” Which is something you have been curious about from the very beginning.
“So you’re just here doing your job, eh?” Roger chuckles as he shakes his head once again.

>>4095848
“Then Ms. Judith, I can suggest some alternatives: One, you can play along with the Sergeant’s whims, he’s an influential man and will get you what you want as quickly as possible, but you’ll lose your dignity. Two, you go outside, talk to some of your tough armed boys, make a little squad to act as your bodyguards – then take the authorization paper and shove it in Liam’s face. Believe me, he will be at your knees in seconds. And finally, you do what I said at the beginning and take it easy, it’s bureaucracy. That’s my opinion anyway…”

>What do you do?

>Do the initiation! Do your job as flawlessly as you can!
>Threaten Sergeant Liam with N.U. Forces! It’ll be effective!
>Call your superiors, wait for a response and take it easy!
>Write In.

(Last reply of the day, we continue tomorrow maybe!)

>>4095849
>>Threaten Sergeant Liam with N.U. Forces! It’ll be effective!
Since locals dont wanna play by the rules, we have to enforce those rules, whenever they like them or not.

>>4095849
>>Threaten Sergeant Liam with N.U. Forces! It’ll be effective!
But before that:
>Ask him if he’s willing to help you in your special mission.
He could be a useful ally

>>4095853
actually, changing my vote to this.

>>4095849
>Call your superiors, wait for a response and take it easy!
Let’s do this by the books.

>>4095849
>Call your superiors, wait for a response and take it easy!

>>4095849
>Call your superiors, wait for a response and take it easy!
>>4095871
Right, I doubt using N.U. forces like this will go down well back home.

>>4095885
It's literally what they're supposed to do, the people here refuse to respect our authority and our mission is one of priority

>>4095849
>Call your superiors, wait for a response and take it easy!
>Ask if he's willing to be an ally in this.
Playing it straight is the best option, and we can spend time on reconnaissa-I mean relaxing, yes that is the R word that would come to Judith's mind. Relaxing as we gather more information about Pokyo Lokyo. And other relevant people that we want to talk to in those relaxing places. Yes, the perfect vacation. Roger can aid us in this.
Also, a burner phone is a great idea, since things just got a lot hairier.

None of the alternatives are at all attractive to you…

Option one requires you to work alongside that failure of a law enforcer, and even if you can withstand working menial tasks, you didn’t come this far to be humiliated by a man not even half your wit. Unacceptable.

Option two will grant you the authority you want at the cost of creating animosity in the workforce towards you. It’s understandable that Police Officers won’t take kindly to another armed force irrupt in their headquarters and forcing them to go along with your plans. This will only cause future problems as well.

Option three is quite deceiving, you already have time constraints and you’re already short staffed. If you don’t get the wanted results you’ll be put into a tough spot, you have moved up the ladder thanks to your performances – but if they think you hit your ceiling or are counting on how young and inexperienced you are, it would be foolish to think another opportunity like this one will emerge any time soon. And more importantly, just the thought of having leisure time when you should be working is just… irritating to you.

…

So it’s an issue of productivity…

“I have come to a decision: I will inform my superiors and wait. Since the authorization by paper was easily dismissed, I’ll have to wait for one of my superiors to get here in person.” In the end, what needs to be accomplished is more important than your status. You will trust the process just like a regular citizen trusts the law.
“That’s what I would do.” Roger Jackson approves of your decision. “Frankly, I thought you weren’t this level-headed.”

“I'm a sensible woman, dissuaded by facts and good reasoning only.” But most people say you’re hard to convince.
“I-I suppose you are…” Roger raises an eyebrow. Is he embarrassed? You wonder why.

“You have proven to be a reliable and smart man. I have a proposition for you, are you willing to be my ally in this? I would love you to have you on board.” You believe he’s perfect for the job.
“A mediocre old officer like me? You think too highly of a guy you just met; besides I’m retired and about to leave the city soon.”

“Roger, I’m no fool. I know that’s not the reason you’re declining my offer.” It’s easy for you to spot lies from people you’ve talked with for a while.
“I’m caught.” Roger takes another sip of his juice. “Think about it, you’re a member of Interpol. If I help you, I’m helping the N.U., and I don’t think they have the best interests for the city and its people.”

“Then why are you helping me now?”
“Because Roger Jackson has no problem helping Judith, but officer Roger Jackson doesn’t want to work for Interpol, that’s basically it.”

“In that case, wouldn’t it be better for you to keep an eye on me, as I’m a member of Interpol and the association you aren’t keen on? Maybe you can persuade me to work in favor of your own interests.”
“If you fully understand the consequences of having me around then I have nothing to worry about.” Roger extends his hand towards you. “Besides, my wife didn’t want to leave Pokyo Lokyo anyway.”

“A pleasure to be working with you.” You seal the deal with a handshake.
“Yeah, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do exactly, but you’re the one leading, right?” Roger smirks. “You better get in contact now with your bosses so you can sort out your troubles.”

Roger is indeed correct.

>After contacting your superiors, what should you do next?

>Get in contact with Richard Wright.
>Ask Roger Jackson for everything he knows about Lenny Yabe.
>Ask what the “Secret Squadron” is all about.
>Ask Roger to show you the city to get accustomed to it.
>Write In.

After getting in contact with one of your superiors you inform them directly about the chain of events that transpired today; you’re going to receive a visit from one of them in a couple of days. Until then…

“Agent Jackson, your first task as my subordinate is to show me the city to get accustomed to it. I want to know what the day to day life is for the common man, what activities of leisure your people enjoy, how the public transport operates and much more. I want to bask in the greatness of the Prancijian culture.”
“You’re asking a 54-year-old man to show you the city? I’m not hip; I’ll end up boring you to tears.” Roger Jackson doesn’t believe he’s fit for the task.

“Nonsense. You’ve been working in this city for at least the last 30 years, you must know the ins and outs of every corner in the city. If you have a car, you can show me.” You object.
“…And what does that have to do with having fun?” Roger shakes his head. He looks like he’s starting to regret agreeing to aid you. Too late now! You shook hands with each other, that means you don’t go back on your word ever! Ever! “This might end up being more troublesome than I anticipated. Any place in particular you wanna go…?”

>Is there any place you want to go?

>You want to go to the Aquarium.
>You want to go to the Museum.
>You want to go to the Circus.
>You want to know what the kids around these parts enjoy.
>Leave it to Jackson.
>Write In.

>>4098604
>>You want to know what the kids around these parts enjoy.

>>4098604

“Nothing in particular as of now. I believe it would be better to leave it completely in your hands.”
“You have any hobbies? Give me something to work with.” Roger feels like he’s in a tough position.

“Just the usual.” Literature, chess, theatre, classical music, gardening, bird watching and many others. Perhaps if you have the time, you could meet up with the other members of the bird watching online group from Prancijan – there are myriads of birds only from these parts you want to photograph.
“Errr… How about going fishing?” Roger doesn’t have a clue.

“I do not enjoy that.” Too much waiting for your taste.
“What about bowling?”
“This is not a date, Roger.” You shake your head.

“It’s closer to babysitting…” Roger seems frustrated. “Well, you said you wanted to know what the regular peeps here do in their free time and you just write off fishing completely – so that leaves us with one other option...”
“Which is?”

“I don’t wanna spoil it ‘cause you’re probably going to say ‘no’. Just follow me to the parking lot.” Roger starts walking away after paying for his drink. You follow him.
“Wise decision.” You’ve been told you’re quite ‘picky’… You at least appreciate that he's already getting to know you. That’s how you build trust!

To your surprise, Roger leads you to an Arena, and in there they are holding Boxing matches. This is certainly not something that is catching your interest.

“Boxing?” You put all your paperwork inside your briefcase.
“I can’t actually believe you were working during the whole trip.” Roger probably felt lonely. “And yeah, Prancijan’s favorite sport. Welcome to the place for your weekly dose of cheap, violent magic: El Macho Square Garden.”

“Weekly events...?” How can the athletes rest in such a short amount of time?
“How are you supposed to keep people’s interest if you make them wait too much?” Roger chuckles. “C’mon, let’s check it out.”

The tickets cost the equivalent of 2 Yurops, it’s extremely cheap – the place is packed with more or less 40,000 people. People are wearing matching team t-shirts like this was a football match, they have flags – and they are singing before the matches even start. You don’t understand a thing, and Jackson is not willing to answer your questions.
