( 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!

[ Silco shrugged.

Shrugged! Like this was expected.
]

Too few do. [ One would think Silco would learn something from that? Never. ] It's a shame. I've never been anything but honest about the kind of person I am. Even so, you worked with me.

[ A twitch of his lips. ] Then you take issue when I am unpalatable to your delicate sensibilities.

Do I have that right?

They aren't that delicate, but I guess "unpalatable" isn't too far off. I've met people like you before and I didn't like them either.

[Not the head of K Corp, and not Ahab.]

But we're moving in the same direction, so I can work with you right now.

[ A roll of his eyes. ] It was one man. That's fairly delicate by my standards.

[ Silco "staged a violent riot once" R. Cane probably doesn't have a good standard for these things.

He clapped his hands together, though and his face takes on that blasé smile again.
]

I'm so glad you can get over your disgust to work together.

Yeah. Sure.

[THIS GUY.]

Just being a good coworker.

[They loosen their grip on the laptop to keep their hand from cramping, shoving their other hand in their coat pocket.]

...I'm handing everything over to LILITH, just so you know. If I get the laptop back I'll leave it outside your door or something. You've definitely got your own motives here, but I agree that getting rid of two gangs over one is better for everyone here.

[And, as much as it pains them to admit it, it's the best way to keep themselves out of trouble.]

Oh, a good coworker?

[ He says, with a laugh. As if he's saying 'is that what we are?' Which, considering they've barely been around each other since their arrival — barring a few brief encounters — meant that Silco thought this was very funny. Obviously, from the quirk of his lip, to the way his single eyebrow drew down; the other one mostly inert, and clearly drawn in. ]

Then you would understand, coworker, that I've always had my own motives. As I'm sure you do, hm? Let's not pretend we're selfless. There's no such thing.

[ Like. Between the two of them? Anywhere? Let's be real, Zaun and the City could be next to each other and you couldn't tell the difference. ]

So don't feel too proud of your revelation.

[They shake their head slowly. If he's not even going to call it "coworkers" that's fine with them. It just means that they don't have to worry what happens to him when they're out there on a mission.]

I never said I was selfless. Just making sure we're on the same page.

[A side-glance in Silco's direction, and the slight narrowing of their eyes.]

Besides, it's not that much of a revelation anyway.

[As far as they're concerned, he's as good at advertising his selfishness as he is putting words in other people's mouths.]

Do we have a deal for the laptop or not?

[ Don't worry, Dante 💖 He won't worry about you either on a mission.

He makes a slight smile, it feels pointed, like a statement. It's there, and then it disappears into his usual dour face.

Like a twitch of something nasty, but a smile nonetheless — it only reaches the good side of his face.
]

Very well. We have a deal.

I'll be more than happy to drive them off our scent when you and LILITH are done with it.
