Russia, Indonesia, Wales / Barbican Estate / Barbican Arts Centre
Local Bratva Member Ivan Petrovich Braginsky attempts to cut in line to watch a show that he had wanted to watch for a while. Of course, that causes a bit of an outrage in the general public. One very guile man steps up and challenges the Bratva Member's desires. Mr. Braginsky becomes an acquaintance of Miss Adania Notonegoro, who also wants to get up in the line a bit. The pair are rescued none other by up and coming actress and singer, Miss Cerys Lewis-Kirkland. The starlet leads the two through a behind the scenes hallway, ready to go perform, and yet... when she finally gets backstage, she is greeted with an unpleasant surprise. Showbiz is a dirty business, sometimes, and it seems that the director had been bribed by her understudy to drop the star from the show for the night. She is dismissed and is left to go spend the night at the Barbican Bar to drink her sorrows with the rest of the actors that either got bribed out tonight or have no show to perform in. She overhears some news about Maximantics and frowns, knowing just a bit of information that might be of use.

South Italy, Argentina / Financial District / The Shard
Charming police officer Lovino Vargas has grudgingly accepted a mission to find the beloved Lady Elodia Fluffidy Gilda Pochi Ludovica Hana the III, Adela Barker's lost cat, who has a history of violence. Miss Lucia de Romero happened to be doing low-level police work and had encountered the poor Italian. They have a big adventure ahead of them.

Norway, England, Romania, N. Italy, Germany, Singapore, Fem!Iceland, Turkey, Bavaria, Lithuania, Canada / Financial District / Maximantics
Beloved politician Arthur William Kirkland has unwittingly offended Lukas Bondevik, earning himself a glass to the face. The young man storms off in anger and is quickly chastised by Labour Party minister and cousin Johanna Lise Sorrensdottir. Arthur is tended to by his coherts, Michael Collins (Mihai Chimet), Ludwig Beilschmidt, and Clara Huang. However, the group is interrupted by tremors from an explosion a floor above, confirmed by Mr. Collins to be of a bomb. That is the only explosion that has happened, and the flames will start spreading fast (in fact,  at a rate of one floor for every post in written in the thread). It only seems lucky that the emergency stairwells are not up in flames (thanks to fire resistance). The group must quickly evacuate with the other soiree-goers, yet with the disabilities of Miss Huang being caught under a chandelier and Mister Bondevik's condition acting up. Will this group prevail?

Bulgaria, Ukraine / Financial District / 71 Queen Victoria Street
London public transportation is as crowded as ever as Doctor Marko Veselinov Iliev boards the bus. It has been a long day for Nurse Katyusha Chernenko, and so in a similar situation, boards a packed-as-sardines bus. A brunette girl is unconscious, and so the doctor, with a great heroic edge, takes action, ordering bystanders to call an ambulance as he works on the clock to treat the mistreated soul. Miss Chernenko calls an ambulance on these orders as a jerk of a bus driver yells "Of course she'll be bloody fine for God's fucking sake!" Doctr Iliev will not stand for this kind of treatment and stands up to the bus driver as a noble soul he is. The valiant Bulgarian stands up and does what is right.

Belarus, Monaco, France, Mexico / Fortuna Magnus Casino / Felicionem Charta
Fortuna Magnus employee and Imperial College London student Natalya Arlovskaya is caught up with the usual night rush of the Fortuna Magnus Casino, serving alcohols of various varieties. She notices her boss Christyna Grimaldi has thoroughly frustrated a man out of his money. Natalya warns her boss to be a bit more subtle, but in lady luck's fervent spirit, she will not back down without a fight. The social butterfly Francis Bonnefoy is currently gawking at Christyna's skill with the cards while looking for that special someone. 

Portugal, Macedonia / Guildhall / Guildhall
Ahhh, Guildhall, where many have taken up requests for the betterment of the community. João Ferreira Henriques has taken up the Banjo Duel request and Vesna Kitanovska has taken up the Food Delivery request. Wish them luck!

Ireland, Switzerland, North Ireland / St. Paul's Cathedral / St. Paul's Cathedral
A dark plot has arisen at the seat of the Bishop of London. Organ smuggling and murders due to unstoppable bleeding have occurred in the holy place, and so our agents have decided to take a look in on it. Mister Donald Finn O'Neill-Kirkland causes an annoyance for his comrades, his twin sister Miss Aoife O'Neill and the "Chipper" Mister Vash Alois Zwingli. Mister Zwingli has been elected to be the decoy for logistical reasons, and so the mission begins...

NOTE: Please notify the Mods (via PM) if you would NOT like Mods to interfere with you and the other characters linked toward your situation. Otherwise you are giving us full rights to invade you interfere at any moment.

Vice-versa, please notify us (via PM) if you WOULD like us to interfere with you and the other characters linked toward your situation. Otherwise you are giving us full rights to come and go as we please.



Mods basically help govern this universe. The Mods control the NPCs for ya, the shopkeepers, extra thugs... the stuff that makes you the main character. With mods, you can be rewarded random money, lose health, and cause random believable events to occur because random believable events make things more realistic.

If you are creative in how you respond to a Mod's post, you'll be rewarded. If you're not creative, you'll have something bad happen. Which is pretty cool, actually. So yeah, we're rewarding your creativity because we all love creativity!

We have to be unbiased, so stop bribing us.
We're not going to screw you over, unless you're unwise and take the wrong path we offer you.
We're using NPCs for the evil mischief, not our own characters.

If you have looked to your left, you will see... we have a money system. The money system will become an important part of the roleplay and may be the difference between you dying or having the upper hand.

Like in the real world, money can turn into anything as long as you have enough of it. The conversion we'll use here is 1 pound = 2 USDs to simplify things so you won't have to go pull out the money converter. Pounds will be the currency used in this world. If you do end up travelling out of the bounds of the roleplay (as in, you end up hopping on a getaway plane to go to Norway), your money is magic and you can use it elsewhere... that makes sense? Well, let's try to avoid going to America, shall we?

But yes, money is required to do things like enter places like a theatre or zoo, buy food or weapons, go on public transportation, bribe the information brokers, etc. Without money, you'll probably die struggle in the streets of London.

The process in which you purchase objects is as follows.

1) You purchase the object in the roleplay by leaving a message like so:

{ Feliciano Vargas purchased A Plate of Pasta for £3 ! }





The code for this is here:{ [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] purchased [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b] ! }
2) We staff are monitoring threads, but we don't read every single post. So it would be helpful if you posted in the purchases thread this:

Alfred F. Jones has purchased A Burger for £20. Cha-ching~!

[b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] has purchased [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b]. [url=LINK TO THREAD]Cha-ching~![/url]

Simple enough, right? Your money counter will obviously go down.



Well not exactly. I don't want you people to end up finding money on the ground all around you. I want you to go work for it, muahahahahaha. But yes, all character groups have a certain occupation, even the hobos (who will panhandle their way to a mansion... someday).

Agents can have part-time cover jobs (it's actually recommended all agents have a secret identity and such), such as working at diners, the casino, and as mail people. They'll earn extra money from that. Civilians... go take normal jobs. Criminals have to swindle their way with bank fraud to get their money, so it'll be understandable if they're stinking rich suspiciously. But most of all, Agents earn their money from completing Missions, which will be talked about in the Missions thread.

For work threads, you probably want to get in a few posts. Work the whole night, your hours, dunno. Be reasonable, though.

On the Paycheque thread, you will do this:

Wang Yao earned £20. Cha-ching~!


[b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] earned [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b]. [url=LINK TO THREAD]Cha-ching~![/url]

Similarly, you will be doing this in the thread you are working in.

{ Francis Bonnefoy earned £5 ! }

The code for this is here:

{ [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] earned [b]£AMOUNT[/b] ! }

Now go forth and thrive in the world of commerce.
