>>6337427In your traversal over two streets, you notice an eyebrow raising amount of hooligans in them, and drones in the skies. Yesterday’s events at the convenience store flash in your mind. Are these preparations for the upcoming thug war?
Anyway, inside the clothing (costume?) store there’s a long-time ally at the desk!
“B-WORM? Hey! Fancy meeting you here!” You’re happy to see him! “Everyone, this is a friend of mine! We all call him B-WORM!” You tell the girls to say hi! They do! “This is your job?”
“It’s a pleasure, everyone. And it’s good to see you, Johnny.” B-WORM poses with one hand! “And it is. I used to be a regular before my store collapsed. The owner took pity on me, and gave me a job to get back on my feet.”
“Stylish guy...” Vera is suspicious for no good reason.
“Scarlet told us about him. Her description was on point.” Liu remembers!
“Can you pose again? I like the way you move your arms!” Lydie imitates the pose.
“Of course.” B-WORM smirks but strikes a different but fairly similar pose. Lydie follows the pose. “How else can I help you?”
“Need some school uniforms. Got some?” Vera wonders.
“In the back.” B-WORM points at the direction.
“We’ll give you a minute with your friend. Use it wisely.” Vera leads the way herself! Lydie and Liu shrug before complying.
It’s just you and your cult-defeater ally…
“You’ve noticed, haven’t you?” B-WORM stares at a bunch of troublemakers through the window. “Any readings?”
No reason to be cryptic with him.
>>What do you do?>“Heard there’s a big event coming. The mafia will go crazy.” Tell him what you learned yesterday.>“Heard you went on a mission with Richard. What’s that all about?” You could’ve sworn it ended in a cliffhanger, even though Nina said everyone was fine.>“Anything I can help you with?” You feel like you could be useful, but you don’t know how.>Write In.
