Avaritia Arrival Log

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!

Her sudden smile puts him on edge- luckily any anxious expression on his face doesn't go against what "Leon" is doing.

"Hmm... I can lift or break something?"

[cancrymods]

"Such as?" She adjusts her glasses in a kind of infuriating way. "You're not showing a lot of initiative right now. If I'm going to consider this, then I want to be impressed."

Flex your beefy boy strength for the good of the Executors, Lion.

[crypddyd]

"Oh, yes!" He looks around the bank lobby. He needs to find something that would be impressive for a grown man to dead lift but not so heavy that it would expose him as an Executor.

One problem: he's never had normal human limits to his strength. Damn crest mutations. So he's going off fuzzy memories of people in his past life for this.

He settles on a sturdy and well padded seat- the fancy almost-loveseats found in fancy hotel and bank lobbies. He makes sure to actually kneel down and flex a bit as he picks it up, even though the actual effort for him is like someone lifting a half full backpack at worst.

Whatever Greta was looking for, it's apparently satisfied by Lion's demonstration of strength. In fact she looks... oddly relieved somehow, when he turns back to face her? But don't think about it too hard.

"Well, that seems to be all in order..." She nods more to herself than Lion and gives him a little smile. "And you plan to continue working at the theater, yes? Would you object to my contacting you if I find I have a use for you?"

[crypddyd]

"Of course. I can give you my phone number?"

He carefully sets the couch doen with a soft grunt.

[cancrymods]

"Yes, that should be fine. I'll contact you when I have use of you."

... Then her eyes get that spooky shine again.

"I trust my contact details won't be used for any nefarious purposes once you have them in hand?"

[crypddyd]

He blinks sheepishly as if he has no idea what she could mean. Because he honestly doesn't. What could they even do, pester her with texts???

Finally he seems to come to a realization.

"Oh... no Ma'am. I have a boyfriend."

[cancrymods]

That startles her enough that her glasses slip down her face a bit and she blinks at Lion in surprise. Then quite suddenly, she lets out a laugh and shakes her head, more to herself than Lion it seems.

"I see, I see..." She grins at him as if he's just stumbled into being the punchline of a joke. "Yes, I think you'll do just fine."

He's too stupid to have any kind of ulterior motive, clearly.
