Moves
all the basic moves, and:

casual brain receptivity
When you read someone, roll+weird instead of roll+sharp. Your victim has to be able to see you, but you don’t have to interact.

deep brain scan
When you have time and physical intimacy with someone — mutual intimacy like holding them in your arms, or 1-sided intimacy like they’re restrained to a table — you can read them more deeply than normal. Roll+weird. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 1. While you’re reading them, spend your hold to ask their player questions, 1 for 1:
• what was your character’s lowest moment?
• for what does your character crave forgiveness, and of whom?
• what are your character’s secret pains?
• in what ways are your character’s mind and soul vulnerable?
On a miss, you inflict 1-harm (ap) upon your subject, to no benefit.

Stats: Cool+3 Hard-1 Hot+1 Sharp+1 Weird=0

Moves

Ice cold: when you go aggro on an NPC, roll+cool instead of roll+hard. When you go aggro on another player’s character, roll+Hx instead of roll+hard.

Visions of death: when you go into battle, roll+weird. On a 10+, name one person who’ll die and one who’ll live. On a 7–9, name one person who’ll die OR one person who’ll live. Don’t name a player’s character; name NPCs only. The MC will make your vision come true, if it’s even remotely possible. On a miss, you foresee your own death, and accordingly take -1 throughout the battle.

GUNLUGGER MOVES:

  when you act under fire, roll+hard instead of roll+cool
  
• Insano like Drano
  you get +1hard (hard+3)

  whenever you inflict harm, inflict +1harm

quote:

BASIC MOVES:
ACT UNDER FIRE
When you do something under fire, or dig in to endure fire, roll+cool.
On a 10+, you do it.
On a 7–9, you flinch, hesitate, or stall: the MC can offer you a worse outcome, a hard bargain, or an ugly choice.
GO AGGRO
When you go aggro on someone, roll+hard.
On a 10+, they have to choose: force your hand and suck it up, or cave and do what you want.
On a 7–9, they can instead choose 1:

• get the hell out of your way
  
• barricade themselves securely in
  
• give you something they think you want
  
• back off calmly, hands where you can see
  
• tell you what you want to know (or what you want to hear)

SEIZE BY FORCE
When you try to seize something by force, or to secure your hold on something, roll+hard. On a hit, choose options.
On a 10+, choose 3.
On a 7–9, choose 2:

• you take definite hold of it
  
• you suffer little harm
  
• you inflict terrible harm
  
• you impress, dismay or frighten your enemy

SEDUCE OR MANIPULATE
When you try to seduce or manipulate someone, tell them what you want and roll+hot. For NPCs: on a hit, they ask you to promise something first, and do it if you promise.
On a 10+, whether you keep your promise is up to you, later.
On a 7–9, they need some concrete assurance right now.
For PCs: on a 10+, both. On a 7–9, choose 1:

• if they do it, they mark experience
  
• if they refuse, it’s acting under fire

What they do then is up to them.
READ A SITCH
When you read a charged situation, roll+sharp. On a hit, you can ask the MC questions. Whenever you act on one of the MC’s answers, take +1.
On a 10+, ask 3. On a 7–9, ask 1:

• where’s my best escape route / way in / way past?
  
• which enemy is most vulnerable to me?
  
• which enemy is the biggest threat?
  
• what should I be on the lookout for?
  
• what’s my enemy’s true position?
  
• who’s in control here?

READ A PERSON
When you read a person in a charged interaction, roll+sharp.
On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 1.
While you’re interacting with them, spend your hold to ask their player questions, 1 for 1:

• is your character telling the truth?
  
• what’s your character really feeling?
  
• what does your character intend to do?
  
• what does your character wish I’d do?
  
• how could I get your character to __?

OPEN YOUR BRAIN
When you open your brain to the world’s psychic maelstrom, roll+weird. On a hit, the MC will tell you something new and interesting about the current situation, and might ask you a question or two; answer them.
On a 10+, the MC will give you good detail.
On a 7–9, the MC will give you an impression. If you already know all there is to know, the MC will tell you that.
HELP OR INTERFERE
When you help or interfere with someone who’s making a roll, roll+Hx.
On a hit, they take +1 (help) or -2 (interfere) now.
On a 7–9, you also expose yourself to fire, danger, retribution or cost.
SESSION END
At the end of every session, choose a character who knows you better than they used to. If there’s more than one, choose one at your whim. Tell that player to add +1 to their Hx with you on their sheet. If this brings them to Hx+4, they reset to Hx+1 (and therefore mark experience).

HARM & HEALING MOVES
By default, the harm & healing moves are in play. The MC might decide to forego them, case by case.
This move is unusual in that a hit is bad for the player and a miss is good:
When you suffer harm, roll+harm suffered (after armor, if you’re wearing any).
On a 10+, the MC can choose 1:

• You’re out of action: unconscious, trapped, incoherent or panicked.
  
• It’s worse than it seemed. Take an additional 1-harm.
  
• Choose 2 from the 7–9 list below.

On a 7–9, the MC can choose 1:

• You lose your footing.
  
• You lose your grip on whatever you’re holding.
  
• You lose track of someone or something you’re attending to.
  
• You miss noticing something important.

On a miss, the MC can nevertheless choose something from the 7–9 list above. If she does, though, it’s instead of some of the harm you’re suffering, so you take -1harm.

When you inflict harm on another player’s character, the other character gets +1Hx with you (on their sheet) for every segment of harm you inflict. If this brings them to Hx+4, they reset to Hx+1 as usual, and therefore mark experience.

When you heal another player’s character’s harm, you get +1Hx with them (on your sheet) for every segment of harm you heal. If this brings you to Hx+4, you reset to Hx+1 as usual, and therefore mark experience.
When you hurt someone, they see you more clearly. When you heal someone, you see them more clearly.

BARTER MOVES
When you give 1-barter to someone, but with strings attached, it counts as manipulating them and hitting the roll with a 10+, no roll required.

When you go into a holding’s bustling market, looking for some particular thing to buy, and it’s not obvious whether you should be able to just go buy one like that, roll+sharp.
On a 10+, yes, you can just go buy it like that.
On a 7–9, the MC chooses one of the following:

• it costs 1-barter more than you’d expect
  
• it’s available, but only if you meet with a guy who knows a guy
  
• drat, I had one, I just sold it to this guy named Rolfball, maybe you can go get it off him?
  
• sorry, I don’t have that, but maybe this will do instead?

When you make known that you want a thing and drop jingle to speed it on its way, roll+barter spent (max roll+3). It has to be a thing you could legitimately get this way.
On a 10+ it comes to you, no strings attached.
On a 7–9 it comes to you, or something pretty close.
On a miss, it comes to you, but with strings very much attached.

Moves:
All Basic Moves

Moonlighting: you get 2-juggling. Whenever there’s a stretch of downtime in play, or between sessions, choose a number of your gigs to work. Choose no more than your juggling. Roll+cool. On a 10+, you get profit from all the gigs you chose. On a 7–9, you get profit from at least 1; if you chose more, you get catastrophe from 1 and profit from the rest. On a miss, catastrophe all around. The gigs you aren’t working give you neither profit nor catastrophe. Whenever you get a new gig, you also get +1 juggling.

Reputation: when you meet someone important (your call), roll+cool. On a hit, they’ve heard of you, and you say what they’ve heard; the MC will have them respond accordingly. On a 10+, you take +1forward for dealing with them as well. On a miss, they’ve heard of you, but the MC will decide what they’ve heard.

Gigs:
Compound Defense (2-barter/infiltrated)
Doing Murders (3-barter/embattled)
Surveillance (1-barter/deceived)
Protecting Someone (nothing bad happens to them/they're gone) - Joey The Chins

Crew and Contacts:
Crimson: Clover's little sister. Excellent at infiltration, seduction, and stabbing people.
Argus: A walking wall of muscle with a gun as big as he is. Surprisingly intelligent and perceptive.
Joey the Chins: Fat, missing a leg, manages to charm everyone who's anyone.

Gear
9mm (2-harm close loud)
Oddments worth 1-barter
Fashion suitable to your look, optional piece worth 1-armor: A classic pinstriped suit that fits her slender frame well. Beneath it, though, lies a corset lined with metal plates to protect her vitals from encroaching blades and small-caliber bullets, both gifts from the old moonlighter that trained her, Joey the Chins.

I'm terrible at finding pictures but I'm working on it.
Stats:Cool+1 Hard-1 Hot+2 Sharp+1 Weird=0
Gear:hidden knives (2-harm hand infinite), spectacular tattoos, long gorgeous coat.
Moves:
Artful & gracious: when you perform your chosen art — any act of expression or culture — or when you put its product before an audience, roll+hot. On a 10+, spend 3. On a 7–9, spend 1. Spend 1 to name an NPC member of your audience and choose one:

• this person must meet me
  
• this person must have my services
  
• this person loves me
  
• this person must give me a gift
  
• this person admires my patron
  

On a miss, you gain no benefit, but suffer no harm or lost opportunity. You simply perform very well.

Hypnotic: when you have time and solitude with someone, they become fixated upon you. Roll+hot. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 2. ey can spend your hold, 1 for 1, by:

• giving you something you want
  
• acting as your eyes and ears
  
• fighting to protect you
  
• doing something you tell them to
  

For NPCs, while you have hold over them they can’t act against you. For PCs, instead, any time you like you can spend your hold, 1 for 1:

• they distract themselves with the thought of you. ey’re acting under fire.
  
• they inspire themselves with the thought of you. ey take +1 right now.
  

On a miss, they hold 2 over you, on the exact same terms.
