First Shot
When killing negotiators to start a war, timing is everything.
Sure, you could've blown him away as he got out of the car. Or taken an anti-material rifle and just punched through the car. But that lacks art, and they might have sent another. And then where would you be? Spending every weekend sitting around, killing negotiators. And while that totally is your idea of a good time, your best friend might feel mistreated if you ditch him all regularly.
No, you'll do it right, and that means timing is everything. Here, it means shooting him during the negotiations, even if you have to aim through the trees and past the various memorials littering the park.
You have your directional antenna focused on them, and you're waiting for tempers to flare. There's bad blood here, of course there is. They wouldn't need a peace negotiation otherwise. You've seen it often enough. It's fifty fifty that you wouldn't even have to do anything, but then you wouldn't get a paycheck either, and being an Evil Sniper isn't cheap. There's the cost of very large rifles, very large ammunition, travel to exotic locations, bribes and so on. The usual expenses of living.
You have to commend their restraint, it takes nearly two hours before you finally get an opportunity. You roll over to the rifle from group A you nabbed a week ago, and blow the bearded ones beard away. With your low angle and position behind group B, it should look like an attack from group A. Then you roll over to the second rifle. This is why they hired you. To make sure the dream of peace died here, and that means going a bit further.
You take careful aim. This will be a little challenging, even for you. Baldy, the negotiator from A, is trying to calm things down. They picked a good man for this. But you are better. You have a rifle stolen from A. There's a conveniently placed statue pedestal. You've always been great at pool.
The rifle barks, the stone cracks, the man falls. A second later, both delegations open up. Mission accomplished.
You collect the spent casings, pack up your observation gear, and store away both rifles. Then you power walk away. The police can't ignore this, no matter what they got paid. Getting picked up would ruin your work.
---------------------------------------------
You make it back home ok. A passing police car stopped you, but they only offered you a ride home. You accepted, because rifles are heavy. You doze off for the half hour drive. They even help you carry your bag up the stairs, so you give them your left-over homemade sushi. Bribing policemen is an evil thing, after all. Alternatively, poisoning policemen is also evil. You can't remember how that particular batch turned out.
You store your stuff away call Carly about disposing the evidence, and then sit down in the TV corner to plan your next week with the soothing background noise of news reports about the renewed fighting between the Amaretto and the Koshnic crime families.
You have 4 Evilness points, and 7 Sniperness points. You use up 1 of both every week, and some actions can also reduce them. Do Evil things and Snipe people to gain more. Don't let either run out or it's quest over, since you won't be an Evil Sniper anymore.
You have 2 actions:
[]You know a guy who knows a guy… who has a whole lot of puppies. You should go look at the puppies. To kick them, of course, no other reason. You're Evil, after all.
Rewards: +2 Evilness.Play with kick puppies.
[]You should spend time with your best (only) friend. Blan isn't very demanding, so long as he gets to steal your food, but that doesn't mean you should abuse it.
Rewards: Marathon Shell of a Ghost.
[]Go to school. Maybe you should do that at some point. There's just so many people, and you can't shoot any of them when they say mean things.
Rewards: Education. Social anxiety.
[]Look for more contracts. These things don't come to you, thank everything. That one time was a mess.
Rewards: Find more people to pay you for shooting other people. Contracts rewards large amounts of Evilness and Sniperness.
[]Spent vast amounts of money for... professional reasons. Buying another rifle is something you totally need. For your work.
Rewards: Inner emptiness filled. For a moment.
[]Spent tiny amounts of money for incomprehensible reasons. Girls are supposed to have a vast array of clothing. None of which in camo patterns. You don't have that, and don't understand why you should. Your school uniform does well enough as an urban disguise. Still, maybe you should try it?
Rewards: Confusion. Vague sense of sadness.

Don't we already have at least two? I think we still have the guns we used to frame both sides of the meeting, and the fact an anti-materiel rifle was considered and rejected suggests we may actually have one of those as well.

You are at the puppy farm. Dog pension? Holding place? Cuddle mansion? You don't know the name for this kind of place. As the heavy steel gates close behind you, there's a strange feeling in your chest. Is it… excitement? It feels just like the first time you shoot someone for money, so it must be. You can't help but feel a little nostalgic, maybe it's architecture reminding you of your childhood.
There's a woman standing in front of the main entrance, smoking a filterless cigarette with the desperate ferocity of a professional addict. Half a dozen freshly ground out stubs litter the ground around her. She's not too happy when she notices you coming towards her.
"Hey girlie, how the fuck did you get in here?"
You hand her your visitor's pass. After a minute of tense examination, she lets out a huge sigh and cradles her head in her hands. You don't think your picture is that bad. Or maybe you just look really awful. You don't look that awful, do you?
What do you look like? (Use ranked voting; 1 means it's your favorite, 2 would be your second choice, etc.)
[]Headphone
[]Braids
[]Strawberry
[]White
[]Blonde
[]Fruit
[]something else
"A shit, management as finally lost its marbles."
She turns to you and says, "look, I dunno what you thought you signed up for, or how, but you don't wanna go there. Unless this is some kinda fucked up Make a Wish thing, in which case, go ahead. Ain't like I'm one talk about that shit."
She waves the cigarette in your face, which is really rude. You tell her that you came to see the puppies, and that you will definitely see puppies.
"Puppies? I guess that's one way to say it. Come on, you gotta sign some disclaimers, and then you can get it over with. Fucking weirdo."
She leads you to an office, and hands you a bunch of forms. You sign them with your totally real name
[]your real name
because that is your real name.
This is going to be great!
"Fucking hell, this shit's going to be so much paperwork."
----------------------------------------
"Awooooooooooooooooooo" *CLANG*
Puppy number 3 hits the wall, rebounds, and comes bouncing back to you. Puppy number 3 is your favorite, he's got such a cute smile. He's just so happy to be alive.
Puppy 2 and 5 jump you at the same time, and you let the impact bring you down. They clamber on top of you and start licking your face. Well, faceplate. You had to wear a full biohazard suit. They take the health of the animals really serious here. After a few seconds of slobber, the weight gets a bit much, so you bring your legs under Puppy 5 and send him flying.
"Awuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" *CLANG*
Then you grab Puppy 2's shoulders, pull yourself up, and heave him up and over. While he's lying on his back, stunned by the surprise suplex, you give him a kick as well.
"Awoooooooo" *BAM* "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" *CLANG*
He hits Puppy 6 mid jump and they both go flying together. They land in a pile and it takes a moment for them to try to sort out all the limbs. All the others use the chance to pounce, and now there's a puppy pile rolling around the floor. You take the chance to exit the room.
Cigarette lady is waiting for you on the other side of decontamination chamber. She's not smoking anymore, and doesn't seem happy about that at all.
"Look girlie, good work there. I have no idea how, but you kept the beasts entertained. I'll write you up as Animal Health Consultant, or some shit, and see about getting you clearance. Just don't expect to get payed, we barely have enough to keep the things fed."
That's alright, miss…?
"Fiona, call me Fiona. I'll escort you out."
You leave in silence. Fiona stays at the exit door, and it becomes clear that 'I'll escort you out' means 'I'll take a smoke break'. But she does give you a wave as you leave. That's nice.
By kicking puppies you have gained +2 Evilness. You met somebody! Fiona Social Link unlocked.
----------------------------------------
You look at the blue shirt. You look at the other blue shit. You look back to the blue shirt. Or was it a blouse? How would you tell? A gaggle of giggling girls walks by. You decide that you don't need either of these shirts, and that you should try the next store. You've gone through about 80% of the eastern wing of the Viceroy shopping mall so far.
You like the Arête store. You don't tend to use tents, or other equipment, but sometimes it's nice to have. They also have a small corner for climbing equipment, and take a look around. You have a number of ice picks already, but you've never tried climbing with ropes and stuff. Since you're here to take part in capitalist society, you decide to just buy one of everything.
And now you have bulging bags, so only your confusion and loneliness mark you as an outsider. You press on. There's a ritzy store towards the end, with a big crowd gathered before it. You see one girl leave, a bag (purse?) held reverently in her arms. The girls move in, touching and whispering. She's soon carried away by a large clump, the rest stay to stare forlornly into the store.
You shrug, and start walking. You've still got budget to blow. Might as well.
"Oh no, you won't."
You're suddenly looking up at a girl. Far up. She's even taller than the Aug in apartment 3, and that guy had to pad the top of his doorframe. She's shaking her head with a pained grimace.
"If you go in there, they'll tear you apart. Look, I'll help you find something to wear, and you don't start a riot. Deal?" She turns around to the moving pile of bags behind her, "I'll see you at Igor's Ice Cream. Won't be long."
Then she grabs your wrist, and drags you away. You have to jog to keep up, and soon enough you arrive. The shop is as cheap as it gets in a Viceroy mall. She leaves you standing in the entrance area, and takes off. Five minutes later she comes back with four shopping bags, though each only contains a couple of pieces.
"Here. Each bag is an outfit. Don't mix them. Write down numbers if you have to. Come back once you can wear one without looking like you mugged someone for it."
She press the bags into your arm, then pulls out a receipt and scribbles something on it. Then it goes on top of Mount Bag.
"If you want some decent gear, go to Marmuk's. Arête's is to look good, not to climb good."
Then she takes off. You try to parse the sequence of events that lead to this point, but never quite get there. After five fruitless minutes, you give up and head out to pay. You got what you came here for, after all.
Gained fashion advice/orders! Gained four outfits! You still don't know why you did this.

Choose two actions for the next week.
[]Fiona invited to come kick some more puppies. A great idea. Except, it doesn't feel all that Evil if the authorities tell you to. Maybe you should keep her waiting. That would be evil, right?
Rewards: +1 Evilness.Play with kick puppies again.
[]You should spend time with your best (only) friend. Blan isn't very demanding, so long as he gets to steal your food, but that doesn't mean you should abuse it.
Rewards: Marathon Shell of a Ghost.
[]Go to school. Maybe you should do that at some point. There's just so many people, and you can't shoot any of them when they say mean things.
Rewards: Education. Social anxiety.
[]Spent vast amounts of money for... professional reasons. Buying another rifle is something you totally need. For your work.
Rewards: Inner emptiness filled. For a moment.
[]Wear outfits. Try not to look like you mugged someone for them. Even if the money came from shooting people. But that's not mugging, right?
Rewards: Permission to enter the mall. Fashionableness?
[]Visit Marmuk's. Better equipment is always good. Even if, technically speaking, you don't actually need it. You've heard about buying happiness, and you really want to try it out.
Rewards: Better equipment. Living the capitalist dream.
[]Look for more contracts. These things don't come to you, thank everything. That one time was a mess.
Rewards: Find more people to pay you for shooting other people. Contracts rewards large amounts of Evilness and Sniperness.
[X]You know a guy who knows a guy… who has a whole lot of puppies. You should go look at the puppies. To kick them, of course, no other reason. You're Evil, after all.
Rewards: +2 Evilness.
[X]Spent tiny amounts of money for incomprehensible reasons. Girls are supposed to have a vast array of clothing. None of which in camo patterns. You don't have that, and don't understand why you should. The uniform does well enough as an urban disguise. Still, maybe you should try it?
Rewards: Confusion. Vague sense of sadness.
You are at the puppy farm. Dog pension? Holding place? Cuddle mansion? You don't know the name for this kind of place. As the heavy steel gates close behind you, there's a strange feeling in your chest. Is it… excitement? It feels just like the first time you shoot someone for money, so it must be. You can't help but feel a little nostalgic, maybe it's architecture reminding you of your childhood.
There's a woman standing in front of the main entrance, smoking a filterless cigarette with the desperate ferocity of a professional addict. Half a dozen freshly ground out stubs litter the ground around her. She's not too happy when she notices you coming towards her.
"Hey girlie, how the fuck did you get in here?"
You hand her your visitor's pass. After a minute of tense examination, she lets out a huge sigh and cradles her head in her hands. You don't think your picture is that bad. Or maybe you just look really awful. You don't look that awful, do you?
What do you look like? (Use ranked voting; 1 means it's your favorite, 2 would be your second choice, etc.)
[]Headphone
[]Braids
"A shit, management as finally lost its marbles."
She turns to you and says, "look, I dunno what you thought you signed up for, or how, but you don't wanna go there. Unless this is some kinda fucked up Make a Wish thing, in which case, go ahead. Ain't like I'm one talk about that shit."
She waves the cigarette in your face, which is really rude. You tell her that you came to see the puppies, and that you will definitely see puppies.
"Puppies? I guess that's one way to say it. Come on, you gotta sign some disclaimers, and then you can get it over with. Fucking weirdo."
She leads you to an office, and hands you a bunch of forms. You sign them with your totally real name
[]your real name
because that is your real name.
This is going to be great!
"Fucking hell, this shit's going to be so much paperwork."
----------------------------------------
"Awooooooooooooooooooo" *CLANG*
Puppy number 3 hits the wall, rebounds, and comes bouncing back to you. Puppy number 3 is your favorite, he's got such a cute smile. He's just so happy to be alive.
Puppy 2 and 5 jump you at the same time, and you let the impact bring you down. They clamber on top of you and start licking your face. Well, faceplate. You had to wear a full biohazard suit. They take the health of the animals really serious here. After a few seconds of slobber, the weight gets a bit much, so you bring your legs under Puppy 5 and send him flying.
"Awuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" *CLANG*
Then you grab Puppy 2's shoulders, pull yourself up, and heave him up and over. While he's lying on his back, stunned by the surprise suplex, you give him a kick as well.
"Awoooooooo" *BAM* "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" *CLANG*
He hits Puppy 6 mid jump and they both go flying together. They land in a pile and it takes a moment for them to try to sort out all the limbs. All the others use the chance to pounce, and now there's a puppy pile rolling around the floor. You take the chance to exit the room.
Cigarette lady is waiting for you on the other side of decontamination chamber. She's not smoking anymore, and doesn't seem happy about that at all.
"Look girlie, good work there. I have no idea how, but you kept the beasts entertained. I'll write you up as Animal Health Consultant, or some shit, and see about getting you clearance. Just don't expect to get payed, we barely have enough to keep the things fed."
That's alright, miss…?
"Fiona, call me Fiona. I'll escort you out."
You leave in silence. Fiona stays at the exit door, and it becomes clear that 'I'll escort you out' means 'I'll take a smoke break'. But she does give you a wave as you leave. That's nice.
By kicking puppies you have gained +2 Evilness. You met somebody! Fiona Social Link unlocked.
----------------------------------------
You look at the blue shirt. You look at the other blue shit. You look back to the blue shirt. Or was it a blouse? How would you tell? A gaggle of giggling girls walks by. You decide that you don't need either of these shirts, and that you should try the next store. You've gone through about 80% of the eastern wing of the Viceroy shopping mall so far.
You like the Arête store. You don't tend to use tents, or other equipment, but sometimes it's nice to have. They also have a small corner for climbing equipment, and take a look around. You have a number of ice picks already, but you've never tried climbing with ropes and stuff. Since you're here to take part in capitalist society, you decide to just buy one of everything.
And now you have bulging bags, so only your confusion and loneliness mark you as an outsider. You press on. There's a ritzy store towards the end, with a big crowd gathered before it. You see one girl leave, a bag (purse?) held reverently in her arms. The girls move in, touching and whispering. She's soon carried away by a large clump, the rest stay to stare forlornly into the store.
You shrug, and start walking. You've still got budget to blow. Might as well.
"Oh no, you won't."
You're suddenly looking up at a girl. Far up. She's even taller than the Aug in apartment 3, and that guy had to pad the top of his doorframe. She's shaking her head with a pained grimace.
