Clide equips a Revolver and bags two others while returning to the Hideout. Equipping weapons gives slight bonuses to your Intimidation and Bribery rolls. Clide delivers his report to the boss, improving his mood slightly. There's not much else to do at the moment, as it's still too late at night/early in the morning to go running around much, unless you want to catch some winks.
Maggie also returns to The Hideout, receiving a Resting Bonus on top of her Zeal of Life bonus. i appologize for a short event but there's not really much to do at the hideout soooo...at least you can leave for somewhere else easy
Pearl takes a deep breath and starts talking to Paul. "Oh you know how it is. One day my Maxy is as sweet as can be and the next day he's chompin' at the bit. He runs so hot and cold. He's be so stressed lately and I just try to make 'im happy but...". Her voice is wobbling, but Paul tries to calm her down, a Plausible act using Charm. [Roll 6v4]. She thanks him before continuing. "I think he's been having business trouble. He keeps having to deal with new guys movin' in on his territory and all sorts of horrible stuff. Why even the govenor's got him...oops, there goes my big mouth. But still, you've been so nice to me. I'd watch out for the Bianchi's. They've been trying to expand lately so who know's what's likely to go down. Ooh I wish everyone could just get a long. I could use a drink, and it'd be mighty nice if some of these gangs started working together. I'll tell ya, my poison's Peppermint Schnapps. I'd be happy to maybe open my trap some more or help you find some more pick-me-ups if you could get me a little."
Peppermint Schnapps has be unlocked.
Jacky heads into The Warehouse, flashes those big ol' blues at him, and he cracks like an egg.
Lana heads back into the club. It seems like the party is finally dying down and only a handful of people remain. The barkeep let's her go for it and motions towards a piano in the back of the room. Her old playground, she sits down and gets to work. Lana thinks of a tune, a Likely act using Charisma, the Entertainer in her comes out and she really captures the place. [Roll 7v4]. It's like she's the only one in the room, and it's not till the end of her song till the spell is broken. Her performance earns her some money, and Johnathan the owner of the club comes over. "Lana doll, you might want to start looking at expanding your clientele. I love ya, but you gotta share that voice. Try heading over to Studio 53 in Midtown some time this week. They're a bit more jazzy than we are, but I'd bet you'd be interesting in them. Here's something for your time too." [Item obtained: $21]
Midtown has been unlocked. This section of town is under the hands of the Russian mob, and they hang out around The Theater District. You can also find The Bridge to Eyeglass Island here, the premier camping spot and hiking area outside of town. The Art Museum as well as The Factory District are here too, and Studio 53, the most swinging-est, jumping-est, coolest place to be.
It's now the Dawn Phase.
