[X] It meant something, you liked Sofia. (+++ Sofia, Relationship level with Sofia advanced!)

I mean, this probably couldn't backfire?
 
[X] Ignore the question. Your dad had always told you the best way to answer difficult questions was to pretend like you never heard them in the first place. (??? Sofia)
 
[X] It meant something, you liked Sofia. (+++ Sofia, Relationship level with Sofia advanced!)

She's a nice pretty girl, we could do much worse.
 
[X] It meant something, you liked Sofia. (+++ Sofia, Relationship level with Sofia advanced!)

ermm, hope she doesn't get too clingy.
 
[X] It meant nothing, you were hammered and on drugs. You're not sure what girl you wouldn't kiss in that state of mind. (--- Sofia)
 
Chapter 1 End Update 24
"It means that I'm unfortunately gonna be seeing a lot more of you." You weakly smile.

Sophia grinned back at you, a twinkle dancing in her eyes.

(+1 Friendship points added to Sofia, Relationship level advanced to 'Girlfriend?', New Daily Action unlocked)

"Well now that you're awake I should probably get going." She said, getting up. You walked her outside where an Uber was waiting in the driveway. "I'll talk to you tomorrow!"

"You never gave me your number.." You called out to her before she got in the car.

She giggled as she stepped in the car. "I already put it in your phone silly."

"....." You watched in silence as the Uber drove off.

My phone was locked.....

"Johnny Bravo! My man!" P.J cheered heading downstairs. Now that you looked around the house was a mess. Nothing was broken but the floor was sticky from spilled juice and beer, it smelled like throw-up everywhere, and the bathroom was in a.. frightening condition to say the least. Fortunately the cleaners were arriving in 3 hours, then you guys could move everything from the basement back upstairs.

"Don't think I forgot about yesterday." You said. "I hope you disinfected my bed and room."

"Yeah yeah, your sheets are in the wash don't worry." He sighed. "We're all going out to eat cause it's pretty gross in here. Go get dressed and let's go."

"Sounds good." You yawned. You saw Mike coming downstairs as well. He was wearing a hoodie for some odd reason.

You walked up to him and pulled the hood of his sweatshirt back. "Mike it's 65 degrees outside why ar-, Jesus Christ!" You step back as you spot the massive red.. mark of the beast on his neck.

"I don't even remember getting it." He frowned, rubbing his neck. "I just woke up to that asshole P.J taking pictures of my neck."

You have no clue how you didn't see it yesterday but it spoke to how fucked up you were. The hickey on his neck was massive. At least the size of a golf ball, maybe even a smaller tennis ball.

"Did you hook with up with a vampire or something last night?"

He pulled his hood back up as he walked past you. "Ha-ha, very funny. I'm guessing everything went well with Sophia last night?"

"How'd you know?"

"She was freaking out yesterday when you passed out. Refusing to your leave side and whatever. I don't know John, the girl's pretty hot but she gives off weird vibes."

Yeah you were kind of getting those now too..

"The girl boo-hooing over Johnny last night?" P.J asked, butting into the conversation.

"Yeah. You know her?"

"Her face seems pretty familiar. I feel like I should recognize it for some reason...." He mumbled as he drummed his fingers against his chin before shrugging. "Oh well!"

You were about to ask P.J something but then T.J came leaping down the stairs.

"Hell yeah! Let's get some fucking breakfast!" He exclaimed, practically jumping in place.

"How are you two so hyper? You drank more juice than we did." Mike scratched his head. "I feel like I'm dying right now." You could definitely relate.

"Because me and P.J are veterans at this point! You rookies can't keep up with us!"

"More like you two are so fucked in the head that drugs don't affect you anymore." Mike muttered.

"I didn't catch that. Did you say something Hickie Mouse?" P.J taunted.

"Fuck off." Mike retorted, glaring at you as you tried to hold back laughter.

"This is for you Johnorama." T.J handed you an envelope full of cash. "It's all the money we raked in yesterday, about $1500. You can use it to pay the cleaners and hold on to the rest."

You were a bit surprised at the gesture. "Wow, I mean thanks guys. You're not gonna hold on to the money to make up for the alcohol and.. goodies you bought?"

T.J shook his head. "Nah, we weren't expecting to make any money back. It was totally worth it though! That was the most legendary party I've ever seen in Brownsville! We're the legends of the neighborhood!"

(John, P.J, and T.J Vescovi gain +3 Influence each, +2.5 Friendship Points with T.J and P.J Vescovi)

"I kinda owe you one for the bed too." P.J grinned sheepishly. You know $1500 wasn't really that much money to the twins but you appreciated the gesture nonetheless.

"Alright, come on Hick and Morty." T.J teased, grabbing his keys. "Let's get some grub!"

You chuckled as Mike chased T.J around the house.

CHAPTER 1 COMPLETE

Choose 2 Rewards for completing the Chapter!

[] 4 points to allocate to any stat (except Luck) (Write in for how points are allocated)

[] +5 Friendship Points to allocate or be saved for later (Write in for who points are allocated to)

[] 3 hints to be used at anytime

[] 1 Best Choice option to be used at any time

[] An extra life

[] The next 2 new characters you meet will automatically like you.

A brief rundown of lives in the quest;

You currently have 0 extra lives. If you were to die in chapter 1 it would bring your life count to -1 since you have no extra lives. If your life count is in the negative at the end of a chapter you get no rewards for the chapter. A -1 will lose you 2 points in a random stat If it reaches -2 you lose 4 points in a random stat. If it reaches -3 you lose 8 points in a random stat. I haven't decided the consequences past that but I'll come up with something if it reaches that point.

Also if your life count is in the negative it goes back to 0 the next chapter. If you had a -1 life count this chapter it would go back to 0 at the start of chapter 2. If its positive your lives obviously carry over to the next chapter.

Sophia, yikes. Not completely unexpected but still. Hope she doesn't end up killing us so that no-one else can have us...

Deception because being able to pick out a rat is crucial, and it is quite low at the moment. Extra life seems like a no-brainer although the system seems a bit off - JiggyStreet - how frequently are you expecting us to die anyway? Seems like strangely low consequences. May want to rethink?

Yeah I was thinking that too looking back at it. I think -2 to a random stat for 1 death, -4 for 2 and -8 for 3 is better.

But we'll see. This chapter it was virtually impossible for you to die. Next chapter it wouldn't be too farfetched for you guys to die multiple times depending on what you choose

Also lol I just figured out that Sophia isn't the girl we saved in the alleyway, but our former stalker. Haha I was already thinking she sounded different.

Also we should definitely investigate this Sophia chick, because let's be honest here. This sounds shady as hell. Also we got a 'girlfriend'now *groans* great because those don't tend to have major upkeep costs. :) Oh well maybe since she knows a bit about the mob, she is more understanding to the fact we have mob business to deal with as well.
