welcome to the mansion

[airlockedmods]

[The Champions wake up not in a bed, but alone on a plush, velvet seat. Some may recognize the backseat of a limousine, while some may not, but the windows are tinted black inside and out, and there's no chauffeur. All are wearing expensive formalwear, no matter what they thought they were wearing before.

The door opens by an unseen hand and reveals a gravel drive with a red carpet and a lavish fountain. Others are already there, and more limousines continue to pull up afterward. The front doors are locked, and overhead curls a large protective glass dome, keeping the cold void of space at bay, but hey, there's also an unparalleled view of the stars.]

Hey there, Champions, welcome to the IGS Fantasy Sweet. I'm PAL, your onboard maintenance system for this location. Your Overseer will arrive shortly. Please be patient.

Ya mean besides the Tojo Clan, and every other family in the Omi Alliance?

[ He actually looks quite serious when he says that, like 'who do you think a yakuza would piss off,' but he's right back to smiling just as quick. ]

Nah, I ain't got enemies I ain't killed yet! When ya get ta be my age, it's not real worth it to let 'em stew, y'know.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I was thinking more like... giant pharmaceutical companies. Or terrorist cults.

[Because nothing Nishitani just said is weird or alarming, naturally!]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Just a normal guy talking normal things, duh. ]

Terrorist cults? Nah, I ain't heard anythin' about that. And drugs ain't really my department, you'd prolly want Sagawa-han for that.

You got a lot of experience with that shit or what?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Let's say... I've been investigating the connections between them for a while.

[buddyoldpal]

That so. You a cop, Tenmyouji-kun?

[ He sounds more interested than anything, trust me, he actually likes cops? Weirdly? ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Oh. that's promising.]

Not exactly. The agency I work for caters to... a different clientele.

[That's one way of putting it.]

I am a detective, though.

[buddyoldpal]

[ His "dad" is a cop and he has them all on the take, cops are great! ]

Ooh, so yer a PI, huh? Damn, those're harder to bribe!

[ He laughs. Was that a joke...? ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Haha. Hey, I've still got student loans to pay off. Don't write me off right off the bat.

[Eyyyy dropout jokes.]

[buddyoldpal]

Hah! I'll keep ya in mind then, Tenmyouji-kun! A good investigator is good for business, y'know?

[ He really would pay off your loans, you'd just have to come work IN CRIME. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Tempting... but Akane would kick his ass.

On the other hand, Akane isn't here, is she?]

Yeah. [He mocks a gutsy fist-pump.] I'll do my best.

[buddyoldpal]

[ He smiles wide. ]

Thatta boy.

[ YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE NISHITANI SOCIAL LINK. Nishitani will now die for you. ]
