( OPEN ) FIGHTING CRIME BY MOONLIGHT

WHO: Every Outsider interested!
WHAT: Catch-all log for cleaning up (or making more of a mess of) Neo Tokyo's crime scene! Refer to the OOC post here for details. Neo Tokyo's current social and political climate can be found under the World / Setting section here.
WHERE: Neo Tokyo, Japan.
WHEN: Nov 2024 & onward.
WARNINGS: Violence, drug use, threats and coercion … whatever else that happens where crime and criminal activity are involved. Please mark for other CWs if necessary!


From the month of November and onward, Outsiders can find recruitment posters around the base for a specialised subsection of an anonymous Neo Tokyo security agency! Feel free to assume that's where most of the directives come from.

Current quests relating to this player plot can be found under < STREET FIGHTER > and < RISE AND THRIVE > on the QUEST BOARD.

People are free to use this log or their own for open and closed starters. However, if you'd like to contribute to the quest chain or setting changes, please remember to eventually submit your links and a summary under the associated quests! Otherwise, go wild!

Oh. It's you.

[ Shinn slips into surly, dismissive mode in a beat. He has a decent sense of who this guy is from the Yamato comment, and Shinn is even more pissed off than he was before the Outsiders wiped out a village of farmers armed with shovels (and, if he were being fair, which he is not inclined to be at the moment, a sub-population of cultists and/or vampires) in Brasov. ]

What does your serious establishment do, take candy from babies?

( will elysium forgive him if there's a body in here?

actually, nevermind. he doesn't need elysium's approval for shit. )


More like give candy to...

( —wait. no. don't give this kid that ammo. izou clicks his tongue. maybe he ought to be vague, given the sort of "organizations" they're trying to infiltrate. )

... It's for public safety, and tackling... injustice. Important, lift-changing stuff like that. The sorta stuff that makes a difference.

[ That sounds like more talk to someone who has been screaming internally (and externally) for a month. ]

So now you're helping people.

The hell's that mean? You think I wasn't out there puttin' my neck on the line for people I don't even know?

( and how he's standing behind the desk, at an amazing five foot seven. )

I'm a gotdamn prodigy, and I also get the job done. ... Even if it means causin' a few casualties of my own. But all that's through and done with, and folks are dealing with the consequences best they can. Which is exactly why I'm on the clock doing this goody-two shoes shit to make a difference for all who's left in this city. 'Cause they need me.

[ Congrats, Shinn is 5'6, Izou has finally someone to loom over... marginally. ]

I think if you're so strong, [ if LILITH collectively is so strong, ] then you should be able to get the job done and protect people.

[ But! Okay! He is very slightly pinged by the concept of things being done, dealing with consequences, stop fighting with your head stuck in the past. He points a finger at the files and then at the corkboard. ]

You'd better have a better plan than Brasov.

[ Not pinged enough to be nice, but Shinn doesn't think much of a promise to do "goody-two shoes shit" from someone who didn't care about people falling by the wayside. ]

( let this kid judge all he wants.

izou isn't going to back down none on his statement, regardless of the daggers they're staring at each other.

still. as much as he hates to admit it... even internally, he's got a point. a better plan than brasov. the casualties had been too excessive. )


You got any suggestions on your end? For how we should go about things.

( just to test him a little. time to slowly lower back into that cheap office chair, izou keeping a trained eye on shinn and his accusatory finger. )

[ Not at any level deeper than "kill fewer people," because -- ]

You haven't said what you're trying to do, [ he says snidely, flatly. "Tackling wrongdoings" and stopping "misdeeds" is really, really general! Even if they have ruled out taking candy from babies. ]

( his lip curls. )

Clean up the city. Stuff that LILITH's had us on before, but harder. The black market's rife with folks funnelin' money around in a bad way, and it all trickles down. To the gangs, and the schools, and as long as we're meant to live here, there's a couple in our ranks who want to do better for it.

( he probably isn't supposed to be this direct, but it's not as direct as someone else would be.

lucky for most, izou doesn't pay much attention to the finer details. he waves a hand lightly. )
