- Plans on respawning after dying
- Ppl to take over
- Dr. Vita is a real doctor with a medical degree
- “Are these the facilities im to be working with?”
- P: yes, unfortunately. It was made quickly
- “I can tell, u dont need to tell me. Dw we plan on moving the entire clinic here since its a confirmed safespace.”
- P: my office is over there, if u want to set ur office itd have to be across the building pls
- “Of course. Im not here to play territory. My only concern is healing the patients. Surely u understand while ur away i should have ur office. We wouldnt want to deny them the best care possible.”
- P: as long as u treat each patient fairly
- “Oh i will. We’ll set up a triage assessment. We’ll make sure theyre addressed by needs rather than wealth and order they came in.”
- P: u can have my office for now
- She bows “dont worry. Lives will be saved in the greatest number. We just… it’s good that they had you. But its better now that they have me.”
- P: im not incompetent!
- “No, ur very loving. They feel ur bedside manner right until their death.”
- P: and u simply leave some to waste away.
- “Thats the old me. I dont do that anymore.”
- P: u dont?
- “Euthenasia has been allowed. They no longer need to waste away.”
- P: we shouldnt be doing euthenasia, we should be saving them, thats the purpose of the clinic!
- “We will save as many as we can, but theyre consuming resources that can be better allocated.”
- “Its ok. It is ur office, ill set up on a different floor whenever u return. We’ll give the patients the option to choose which doctor they prefer.”
- P: if ud set up one elsewhere thatd be nice. This floor does rn have the resources for the patients
- “Ill take one near the skytaxi lots, turn it into a medbay.”
- P: i will warn that u may find some unattended company there
- “Hostiles?”
- P: not hostiles but many ppl go there
- Getting security
- Everyone has Some form of training, u just need an incentive. The easiest is to pay them or offer them some sort of thing that they want. Can set up a program where they and their family gets priority for rationing feedings
- Leaving Anrast, Vossk Irontether, Shiori, Marlow Tensvey in charge
- Not his dad
- “Ithax.”
- I: sir anrast
- “Kaspar’s sister is deaf as well, right?”
- I: as far as i know, but they sound like theyve been talking
- “The lich filed a noise complaint. She’s been humming so loud its been going thru the wall occasionally.”
- “He put it in last night.”
- I: well thats. Odd. they were missing as of last night.
- “Could be someone breaking in.”
- I: shit. Well sacrament would've been on shift with me, so nothing to notice. The air conditioning is right there so the vents arent,,,
- “The vents are loud. My bet is smth magical. Or potentially technologic happened.”
- I: I might go check that room out. They've been answering questions in a plausible deniability way.
- “Like your friends Cecilia and Konbini?
- I: like substantially more evasive than that.
- “What type of parent names their child konbini anyways?”
- I: chosen name. Idk if you’ve seen them fight but they summon a convenience store from an alt dimension to trip our foes. Does mean we spend most of our fights in a convenience store but its EFFECTIVE. Spellcasters have a terrible time
- “She doesn’t kill people too often I suppose?”
- I: no.
- “Only during permitted scarring time, or in self-defense.”
- “Still, I did raise you better than that. Hang out with a cultist, hellknight, and a gangmember?”
- I: A Really nice gang member! He’s not in a gang anymore! Unless u I mean vintovka
- “I meant vintovka. Is Haven in a gang as well?”
- I: Not anymore. I mean it's not something we talked about, not really part of his life, we just found out bc of some shit with an Aeryn-Vox server.
- “Still, I don't try to judge people on their past. I am judging currently. It seems there's a gang member, a hellknight, and a cultist.”
- I: I definitely… yeah. Unfortunately im willing to do a lot to put an end to the scarring
- “Ill get some rest now. As soon as i wake i’ll do my shift.”
- Vossk
- “Its a good thing you're saving everyone
- “I saw the Lao Shipping Company, the coordinator turned the place into a deathtrap. Protecting her treasure.”
- H: Just her in there?
- “V effective woman. Idk how humans age but she’s 78
- H: how’d she get it to be so effective?
- “No idea
- H: good with her hands, connections, or the drones. As it is there aren’t too many warehouses that haven’t been looted rn, so it might be good
- He doesn't know much about the runelords
- Vossk agrees to do foot patrols bc of wrath’s shit
- Shiori
- “Hi!”
- Ka: hi! We wanted to check if u’d be alright watching over security runs, we’re headed out. The 7 of us cant rlly manage taht many ppl
- “U have a disguise for me?”
- Ka: we can organize it, idk what usually works for you
- “Holograms work best.”
- Ka: makes sense. Do show a different thing than a thing. I bet konbini has some, thats the kinda thing they do
- “Ive survived so far by staying hidden. I shouldn't be front desk. If it's admin, we could simply rewire the system to another computer.”
- Ka: u dont need to interact with ppl. Do have issues with our systems tho, a lot of the computers are trying to stop us from preventing people from killing each other
- “So it's magic?”
- Ka: i think so yeah
- “That works thru… if he's fed on rage emotions, why not run a charity where u know he’ll show up? The opposite of wrath would surely drain him.”
- Ka: true! We should do that soon, idk- there’s gonna be 7 that we gotta deal with, i think if we say oh hahaha guy who makes ppl angry, here’s the stuff with the things, idk. I'm not the guy they go to to organize charity. I hold brutaris ball and smile and sign the ball for kids yknow
- “But you have a kind heart.”
- Ka: thanks! I do think thatd be good anyway, we have so many ppl here. Have the roughest 4 months of their lives
- She agrees if we get her a disguise or rewire the system where she doesnt have to be in front of ppl
- Kaspar texts konbini asking to borrow holoskin
- Ka: i think she might be dying so maybe we get the holoskin anyways?? She seems v dead rn
- Marlow will do it
- Hey gardeners can u grow food thats not poisonous xoxo
- They do make poison to help the defenseless and those who r too physically weak to fight
- Dr. Vita is a real doctor with a medical degree
- Drones are not combat made, she's just made the place a death trap with hazards
- Known defense systems, but not known for halloween death traps
- Do have Armin armaments on their building
- Anti-air cannons. Alongside basic turrets
- Vintovka goes a district over
- Pulya waves her into the nightclub, seems to be slowly starting in business, getting some customers
- Able to meet in the back, she hugs her
- “How can i help you?”
- V: we have issue with runelords coming into our building
- “Runelords?”
- V: represent sin. Lich in the building that knows some, but doesnt know much. Also cult leaders
- Shes been researching solaran imperium
- V: lust, wrath, greed, sloth, envy, pride, gluttony. (relays info we know)
- “I may know who greed is?”
- V: Who?
- “Aetherion cult known as the Scaled World.”
- V: like higher ups?
- “1 rumored person, known as Mr. Yuhon.”
- V: What does he look like? Habits?
- “No.. he removed himself from the board willingly. Weird, noted by solaran informants.”
- V: any reason?
- “He gave no reason, but solaran put him on a blacklist. White priority.” (tell the emperor immediately)
- “Idk. its good to know a name tho.”
- V: true.
- She doesnt know more for the others than we do.
- V: u have info on guy Horvenal
- “Hes been revealed to be stockpiling supplies and giving it to needy communities now.”
- V: know where he’s based out of?
- “He’s in Tashilka district. We dont know much more, he hides in the orange glow. Manufacturing district with lots of tunnels, hes very fast.”
- V: what type of places does he hide in?
- “The way he does supply drops is leave his men, after a supply drop they meet back up. Go into the tunnels, leave cameras, make them hard to follow.”
- V: anything abt Chiwazi is holed up? Water plant?
- “We have an advantage. If we want to take out wakehands, we let them infiltrate the waterplant. Theyre waiting til the ppl in waterplant die or kill each other and then plan on invading. They seem to have it surrounded currently. Ppl inside are trapped, theyll kill each other, leave with a max of half their forces, that’s when theyll be invaded.”
- V: easier for us to take control over it.
- “Ppl in the plant are not so helpless to not kill a few. Nothing in this world that doesnt rely on water.”
- V: good thinking
- “Of course. I do believe there are some members we should keep alive. Surely they trained a few to run a waterplant.”
- V: any idea which ones?
- “No way to get it without compromising our position.”
- Lao Shipping Company
- Large turrets loom
- 2 speak in “please enter if you want to take what is mine.”
- Sewers are odd
- No soft vibration of running sewer. Subtle, but gone. Theyre completely silent under the building
- Would take 4 days of normal digging to clear the sewers
- Or 1 with construction equipment
- Gather at the end of the day to rest
- Kaspar checks for Sixlux Stars in Water
- Shes sleeping in her bed
- Kaspar gets told bat the noise complaint
- Stirs awake

- “Wonderful time.”
- Ka: lemme know if u want anything thats not scary konbini made food
- “Was the club always there?”
- Ka: noooo. Well like most of the shit- youve lived here longer than i have
- “I didnt go out as much as you.”
- Ka: thats true. I didnt go to clubs in the building we lived in
- “Seems custom made.”
- Ka: yeah, is that weird?
- “Its a bit weird. Maybe its just a wellfitting room?”
- Ka: my friends weird cop dad said the lich that keeps phasing into our kitchen had a noise complaint. Um.
- “Maybe i accidentally unmuted my computer?”
- Ka: what would- sounded like humming? That doesnt make sense.
- “I dont have an explanation, is the lich lying?”
- Ka: hes not been lying, just weird. So idk. Ill pass that on, just wanted to ask. I guess doublecheck ur computer
- She gets up, stumbles over to the computer to check it as the door closes
- Sacrament kaspar haven ithax vintovka patch to the club 124
- It fits a 3story club with full bar and dance floor
- See various ppl dancing, doing drugs
- Dance ring forming in the center
- 4armed person drinking and dancing his heart out as ppl clap
- Most are regular ppl we allowed in, including the nice lady at the patch and pray, seroth ka who’s enjoying a night out
- She waves, takes one of her arms and chugs down another beer
- Bartender waves, we approach
- “Price for admissions a drink. What will you have?”
- H: what do you recommend?
- “Starlit night? Seems popular. Tastes a little bit of cherry.”
- Haven gets that
- Kaspar gets a rum and dr vesk

- Gives her a thin piece of paper with her face on it

- “Its a drug u make on paper, just dissolve it on your tongue.”
- Kaspar does it
- “Your other friends dance?”
- Ka: u can ask, not sure theyll say yes. YO SACRAMENT! Come dance!
- We can tell that the disco ball is his spellcasting staff. Ppl doing drugs in the corner are odd
- “You seem a bit distracted!” pushes haven and ithax out of the dance circle
- 3 women snorting coke off of each other’s bodies
- Theyre dressed well enough for a club and nowhere else
- These women are dead, continuously snorting coke off each other. They died roughly 3 hours ago
- Theyre still moving, consuming alcohol still on this plane and doing cocaine
- A few of their fingers do rigor mortis, seem incredibly drunk to other dancers
- Basically zombies
- I: haven those 3 girls are dead

- P: just normal beer
- “Oh a normal beer then.”
- Tosses a standard drink
- Patch pretends to drink, pours his drink on the floor
- Patch stops moving after a certain point amongst the crowd, the one man in the center, despite his gaudy outfit… able to see a quick switch. Leaves behind an illusion/a form dancing
- Where patch poured it, he caught it in another cup, holds patch’s head in place and forces it down
- “Waste not want not!”
- P: who are you?!
- Hes held down, forced to drink
- “Drinky drinky.” patch remembers him doing this, goes back to where his clone was dancing

- Fashion zone 313
- Theyve taken up a good cozy corner, with many mannequins to point at stores
- Dimly but warmly lit
- Door that should be sliding upward door appears to be replaced with a fine rustic door, custom made
- Sailevey wave
- “You’re dressed kinda gaudy, i assume you’ve come for fine wares?”
- H: this is fine wares?
- “Fine clothing.”

- P: do u have them in various species?
- “You could say we have them in all species. Most are generic though
- H: is no one perfect for you?
- “We’re all perfect. Just the way we are. Why do u ask?
- H: idk, just seems like u want everything to be perfect
- “Perfect is with me is it not (unsure)
- P: has anyone borrowed them?
- “My mannequins? No
- The mannequins are odd!!! As soon as ithax’s gaze leaves one he can’t recall any info about it except how the clothes looked. Can’t even recall number of limbs, clothes sleeve number will switch too
- I: i like it here a lot more than some of the other floors
- “You like me?
- I: i mean yeah all the vibes and lights and stuff is nice
- “I think you’re my favorite Ithax
- H: he’s not saying he likes you though
- “Yes he is. Ithax, who’s your best friend?
- I: …my roommate haven?
- “That’s not true. He likes me way more than Haven
- H: that’s just not true. He’s met u once
- “Twice actually. Says something about getting close to someone
- Grabs onto Haven and starts taking measurements
- Looks like a human but has orc tusks and elf ears
- I: i definitely like you more than ur other colleagues
- “I appreciate that
- Feels like Haven is being held and then starts feeling pinpricks
- Loses access to general feats, class feats, or ancestry feats (picks ancestry)
- 2 of Haven’s arms fall off and are stitched onto Sailevey
- Haven now loses general feats, his skin turns pale and his joints disappear one by one
- Analyze target
- Human but same fingerprints and biometrics as Haven
- Everything is telling Patch that this is a human but also Haven
- Lowest save is Fortitude
- Ithax tries to make them stop
- “It’s ok Ithax. We’ll be friends soon.”
- I: i’m sorry I lied I don’t like Haven that much anymore. It’s why we aren’t sharing a room anymore and why I don’t want to patrol with you.
- They appear to be like an odd centipede
- The party fails to extricate Haven
- The creature pulls away just holding an ill-defined mannequin
- “See? We’re friends now
- K: you are not my friend
- Haven the mannequin gets Imploded and dies from massive damage
- Kaspar contacts Gravesend who comes up for a second before nopeing out
- The party gathers Haven parts and fucks out of there
