LOL okay so do you want to advance the "random guy killing people" thing somehow in your post? just make your charrie be like going around doing stuff/stealing @ market and have the guy kill one of his friends for trying to steal off of him? then ur charrie gets in a fite w/ the guy? and then you could take jade and have her come in and help lalli make the guy go away and have her elaborate on who tf this guy is and start the "alliance or nah" drama?

if you'd like to do that i mean, I just thought it'd be good to provide sort of an introduction to the general setting+main "bad guy" to start
