SUBSTORY #1 | SUBSTORY #2 |
 The Left Swiping Shall Continue Until Morale Improves Ember 3.0 is still going strong. Some minor patches here and there, so you're encouraged to take another glance at it and see what, if anything, is new! This is a continuation of a Player Submitted Substory/Plot by Pine, player of Ydris. Here's a link to it! All threads conducted on this topic count as Substory threads. |  Can't Download a Clue "Please don't browse porn on these, sir" Jigoku-cho is home to many internet cafes of varying quality. Most of them are located in the Sutoku Alliance's territory. A new one has popped up recently, run by an executive's son who has too much money, not enough sense, and a dream. He rented out a garage, bought a few computers from the closest used electronics store, and decked it out with the cheapest desks and chairs money can buy. It's truly a paradise. Except it isn't. No one wants to come to this cafe and the owner can't figure out why! He's done everything right, hasn't he?! People like it enough to come in and try to steal everything that isn't nailed down! That has to count for something, doesn't it?! His father will pay you a considerable amount of money if you can help get his idiot son's business back on track, or at least stop the thieves from draining his wallet. Unfortunately, Daddy doesn't seem ready to give this idiot a true reality check and pull the funding, what a softy. |
SUBSTORY #3 | SUBSTORY #4 |
 Drifter Grifter A man dressed all in black stumbles in on the edge of the city. He says he's come from the Wasteland and has important information about Iron Bear. He's dusty and disheveled enough that it's easy to believe him. All he asks in return is for some hospitality: a hot meal, a stiff drink, and maybe a few thousand yen to send him on his way. Once he has all of that, he goes to the bathroom, never to be seen again. If you ask around town about this man, you'll notice that everyone seems to be looking for the mysterious drifter in black. The Department of the Enma wants him taken in for scamming people, members from every faction want to shake him down for daring to pull this on their turf, and the people he's scammed want retribution. Team up, track him down, and deal with this grifter drifter. |  Dogged the Bounty Hunters (plot-relevant) With a massive bounty on the line, every faction wants to claim that cash reward and to finally have business settled out in the Wastes. The factions have not made an alliance, and their goals conflict in places. Something every faction agrees upon, however, is that it will be easier for them to get theirs if they knock out any unaffiliated competition. For those independent forces out there gunning for the prize, they will be met with faction-allied obstacles. Everyone has been ordered by their respective leaders to sabotage the crap out of them. The Department of the Enma frames this as though it is a matter of public safety. The other clans? They're a bit more honest: this is about eliminating unnecessary variables. Each faction has their own methods for discouraging, muscling out, or otherwise getting rid of would-be bounty hunters. Whether through fights, bribes, or other seedy means, swear-ins are expected to keep the competition under their thumbs. Art by Samuel Silverman |

Do you want him to focus on Enma territory?

As far as finding bombs, they'll largely be placed in, ironically, archival buildings. The sort of places that are rarely visited and not open to the public.
tbh while it seems like this will be a lot for one person to jump into, we don't particularly want to police how many pies he gets his fingers in, so if you can make it work, it works!
