Kash's coaching in uncharacteristic and heavy handed, don't like it much. The other guy with two a's in his name was giving me vibes too. I'll reread it when I ain't working.

hi infinitum show your work please because hmm it's almost like you have some sort of outside knowledge the rest of us aren't working with.

Somberbrero posted:

you, as i've discussed.

quark for his very self-conscious behavior regarding his vote. it looks like he cares more about perception than honesty. town don't give a gently caress about appearing wrong and bad, scum do.

tpink's post just now was weird.

Infinitum posted:

Not that I'll get a straight answer out of Somber, but Glowku are you being serious here? Or are you jokeposting?

Do you actually have to obey Somberbrero?

Infinitum posted:

Thank you.


You say that, but someone will try and twist it into a case later on and with 100+ pages of content I think some clarity in the postings can go a great deal to solving this.

Out of the way! Move it! Coming through!

You've grown tired of shouting that, day in and day out. But when you're pushing a hefty handcart around the docks, you don't have much choice in the matter. When you stop shouting, people get run down, and then they get angry and you get in trouble. So, you shout until you can't shout no more - and then you go to the bar and drink till you can't think no more. Then you sleep, and then you start all over again. It's a pleasant cycle, really... or at least that's what you told yourself, even though you knew it wasn't one bit true.

Despite the lies you fed yourself to keep plodding on every day, you couldn't help but wonder - what was the point of it all? Were you just going to work until you couldn't work any more, and then die alone? That didn't sound like a good deal. But what could break the cycle?

In retrospect, the answer was simple - Shine, of course. You'd spent plenty of time lugging it around the docks, but never had a chance to try it for yourself. One night, your coworkers dragged you to a different bar than your usual dive, and ordered a round of Shine for the group. You weren't sure what to expect when drank the curious liquid down in one gulp, but you weren't expecting the flood of CHAOS that barreled into your mind - instantly stretching it to its very bare limits! Caught off guard as you were, all you could do was push the chaos back out and away from you - straight into your drinking buddies.

Almost as one, they all stood up and wandered away in a daze, clearly not quite sure where they were going. As you watched them stumble out of the bar, a low chuckle rose from somewhere deep inside you, depths you didn't think you even had. Yes. This is what you were looking for. Shine is just what you needed to shatter the dull monotony of your life!

quote:

"Mama knows best, child." Those words have slipped through your lips day in and day out, alternately consoling and scolding your darling babies. But this time, maybe you've gone too far - farther than your dear boys can pull you back from.

It started with the simplest of things - an easy little ritual asking the spirits to protect your clan (known as the Black Hand Gang, largely due to your children's penchant for beating people to death with their bare hands) as they plied their Shine bootlegging trade. After all, the competition was getting tough out there - too many people trying to get a slice of the pie. You've done this ritual countless times in your life, ever since your own mama taught you the ways of voodoo - but she never said anything one way or another about drinking Shine while doing it! Too late now. The moment that sip of potent liquor passed your lips, your entire body slipped away from you - you couldn't stop yourself from chugging it down, and then another bottle, and another, and another - in a twinkling, you'd drank your way through your entire stash!

Charged with more Shine than most people - sane or not - would dare to drink at once, you put all of yourself - body, mind, and soul - into the ritual of protection, calling out to the spirits to aid your family... and HE answered. With a deep chuckle, he assured you that he'd be there soon - but you'd have to earn his help, or die in the trying. Such is the price of voodoo...

As his terrible voice faded away, you shuddered and stood from your cross-legged stance - still twitching a bit from all the Shine that's still flowing through you. Seems as though it won't be going anywhere till the ritual's done, one way or another - but you think you felt other voices calling for HIS help while you were deep in it. You might be able to use this power of yours to track them down... and end them, to earn HIM as an ally by your side - or die trying.

And with HIM by your side, what better time for you and your sweet children to crush all resistance and take over New Orleans and its Shine trade, once and for all?
