Avaritia Arrival Log

[cancrymods]

AVARITIA

It's Vegas, baby! Oh wait, I already made that joke on the location page... With Esme's iron-fisted reign brought to an end and the Executors given time to take a very well-earned break, it finally comes down to descend to the next layer of Purgatory. Thankfully, with this being the group as a whole's second descent, things are a little less nerve-wracking this time around... maybe. Hopefully. ... Probably. Welcome to Avaritia. Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the Greed Layer of Purgatory. As noted in the location page, several locations will require further investigation if you'd like to get some information on them, so get investigating! Drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. Get out there and have fun!

Veil's going to be checking out whichever banking tower she comes to first. Something about the way it stretches up into the sky makes her think it's something she should be exploring.

[cancrymods]

How will Veil be approaching the banking tower? Is her plan to just walk in or does she have another idea for getting in there?

Either way, her first pass will let her see that the Specters filing into the place all seem to be carrying passcards or ID cards of some sort which they tap against a sensor to the side of the door to let themselves into the building.

[daughterofthemark]

She's absolutely trying to just walk in. It hasn't occurred to her that there's any reason that wouldn't work.

Yes, she'll try that even once she notices the others are using the cards.

[cancrymods]

The door just... flat out will not open. No matter how creative she gets about trying to get it to open up, it remains firmly closed in her face. How rude!

The Specters who have keycards just... gently inch around her and make their way inside without any comment.

[daughterofthemark]

Well, Veil might be stupid, but she's not stupid. The next time a Specter pulls out a keycard to use it, she'll politely interrupt and ask where they got it.

[cancrymods]

The first two Specters she tries this with don't even bother responding – they just rush past her and go straight inside. Luckily, third time's the charm and the third Specter just sort of looks at her like she's an insane person and gives a hurried response of "Well, I work here!" before dashing off to pap their passcard against the sensor and dash inside.

[daughterofthemark]

How rude!

Undaunted, Veil decides she's figured out the problem with her approach, and asks the next few people where she can get one.

[cancrymods]

She gets ignored by a few of them who are in too much of a hurry to respond, but eventually she manages to catch the attention of a Specter leaving the building who doesn't seem in as much of a hurry.

It takes them a second to cotton on to what she's asking though and even then they misunderstand a bit – and start asking if she's interested in a job here.

[daughterofthemark]

Veil cheerfully answers in the affirmative! Whatever job people do here, she can't imagine it being too beyond her.

Oh no.

[cancrymods]

The Specter immediately starts rattling off a huge laundry list of things she'll need to do and prepare for if she wants an interview. The most pressing seems to be that she's going to need at the very least something to wear to her interview and to work and she'll need a bank account to receive her wages if she gets the job.

If she can manage to get all that lined up, the Specter would be happy to put a good word in a land an interview for Veil or anyone else she knows who'd like a job. They're always looking for extra help.

[daughterofthemark]

Veil has no idea what a bank account is but she's not going to let that stop her from declaring that that should be no problem and thanking the Specter profusely.

[cancrymods]

With their good deed for the day done, the Specter gives Veil a nod and then hurries off to... whatever it is Specters do in Avaritia.

That just leaves Veil to work out how to meet those requirements!
