(For now no OOC thread, I feel this thread is a bit small for that, but if it gets too filled up with random chatter then eh, I might consider it.)
Day 1Anders sets about attempting to contact his old friends to arrange a meeting for a new business venture. (5+2 (Charisma)) All of the recipients respond positive, clearly remembering his previous successes, agree to come to Larton, strictly for business, of course. However it will take them two days to reach Larton, so you'll have time to decide where to hold this meeting. Till then, its waiting time.
Friends will arrive in two days
Jordan too begins to set up for a meeting, but this time with the local crime lords, (7+2 (Intruige)) after speaking to a few people here, a small note there, you eventually manage to get them to agree to meet up at midnight at one of the Larton Docks many empty warehouses. Upon your arrival you find many of the leaders bickering with one another, but it looks like no one has actually started fighting yet, and upon your arrival, they all turn to stare at you instead. Eventually one steps forwards, "well lad, looks like you've got yourself a nice little gathering here, now what's all this about, the boss doesn't like time wasters, or Champers," one of the gangs begin to draw their weapons, but don't act.
Gangs have met, now what do you want to get them to try and do?
After saying his quick goodbyes,
Hazer makes his search for the small time crime, and in Larton, that shouldn't be hard to find. (3) However, while he is able to catch glimpses of these small time criminals, he finds himself unable to actually interact with these crime rings, and he ends the day in frustration.
You sleep for the rest of the night, nothing gained
John, heads back to his house in Larton, not quite as grand as he was used to but still grand enough for a nobleman. He then sends a few telegrams to a few of his old friends in the military college that he believes would resist the rule of the Viceroy to meet . (8+3 (Charisma)) The responses are positive, and his friends will be there tomorrow once they have sorted their current business, again the exact purpose and details of the meeting had to be left out, so they're coming in blind.
Your friends will be arriving tomorrow
"Dodger" quietly left the Far Booze bar and headed off into the city to watch the government officials, and hopefully learn about them. (4+3 (Intrigue)) Throughout the night Dodger is able to locate and draw up profiles for the Chief Enforcer, the Mayor and the Chief Editor of the local newspaper, Vastein News now, but is unable to learn much or follow anymore due to his limit as being one man.
Acquired Personality profiles
Yuliana wanders around the streets for the night, attempting to recruit others to join the cause. (2+2 (Charisma) +2 (Lower class)) Its not hard to find people unhappy with the Viceroy, but it is somewhat difficult to find people who are willing to resist, however your charm turns many of them around, and soon you have around 19 followers, mostly men, and come up with the code phrase Red Mane to identify each other. You are prevented from gathering any more due to the arrival of some enforcers, however they don't arrest any of you and appear to be passing through, nonetheless you and your small following soon disperse, with the agreement to meet by the docks tomorrow night.
Acquired 19 followers
Harvey wanders around the prison, searching for the weak and the unaligned, they aren't hard to find. (6+3 (Charisma)) And as it turns out, convincing them to join you isn't either, come nightfall and you have the gathering of 29 of your fellow prisoners, though most of them are weak and frail, before the guards put you all back into your cells, still they agree to meet up tomorrow in the food hall. As for the current gangs, (5) you are able to gather that there are two major gangs, the Stone Fists and the Black Bars, along with a handful of other gangs but more than that, or even which gang is currently top, you can't tell.
Acquired 29 Prisoners for a "Chat"

(Next turn is tomorrow in game, This game week will be a trial run effectively, if one day per turn proves to be too slow, then I'll make the turns one game week each. PewdsRocks, you have to decide what you'll say to these people then decide what to do next turn.)
