It’s been a good while since you’ve been proactive. You don’t know how many nutjobs are out there wanting to take the world apart, but you’re going to stop them, one by one.
“Piece by piece, bolt by bolt, until *they* fall apart.” Your entity, Yomiel, jokes around. He wanted to be the serious one of the two, but nobody forces you into a comedic dynamic. Nobody.
You’re Richard Wright, a police detective working on a case against the most influential man in the country, one of the members of the billionaire group ‘The Five Heavenly Pillars’, the first opposing presidential candidate in almost 50 years, and allegedly has the most powerful entity in the game. You hate exaggerating, but he might be the most powerful man alive.
You were reinstated into your position after a successful case closed against the Cult of Chernobog by the Provisional Chief of Police and Interpol agent ‘Judith Leitgeb.’ You were due a promotion, but you declined once again, only requesting more autonomy and permission to build this specific case — which were granted.
You got a warrant to investigate Lloydington’s office. This will be your only chance, as Leitgeb explained, the N.U. doesn’t want to intervene in domestic affairs after the fiasco that was Judgment Day, and probing into a highly influential political figure (the one they were tricked into backing up (only saying they were tricked to save face)) is a recipe for disaster. You don’t care about politics, but understand the point. Regardless, Leitgeb will back you up even if you don’t get any results, but it’ll take time to get another opportunity like this. Something useful has to come out of this.
If you choose to follow that path.
At this very moment, you’re riding a car with a few allies you’re bringing as back up, you’re going there alone. You hate relying on people, but you can’t argue against results. You have a loose affiliation with two different flame groups, so you surveyed your options, and this is the best you got:
“I can’t believe a man of your age isn’t confident driving. Quite revolting.” The four-eyed woman with dyed hair grumbles.
First, driving, you have Dorothy Villiers, a former White Flame user like yourself. A mad scientist by trade, she’s a failure crypto-academic with a short temper. It’s a matter of life and death for her, she perished once by Lloydington’s hand, and doesn’t want this to happen again. You’re iffy on the exact details as to why she looks like her daughter now, but a cloning experiment wouldn’t be out of the question. Also, she has a duck companion now, and the duck is the key to her entity powers somehow, she refused to answer your questions about it. You know she can spawn giant tentacles out of the ground, but that’s as far as you were entitled to know. She’s the only one who insisted on coming along, and couldn’t turn away.
