[i]Well this has become something of a testy situation, hasn't it? The representatives of two different gods having something of a minor confrontation....[/i]

Tum Tum puts a hand on your shoulder, Avenue, in a pleading gesture. "Avenue, master, our people are badly injured and need healing. Shasta, Lemmy, and III are dead. We must tend to these needs. Let this nonbeliever wander back to where she belongs. Can we not deal with her another time?"

Tum Tum is wide, with a stocky build and something of a gut. You're not entirely certain how he manages to be heavy set in a world like this. Key thinks he's eating the dead, and that it is giving him power. 

Speaking of Key, that's who speaks up next. She's got a black eye and she's nursing a pretty bad bite wound on her hand. She might have lost a finger, even. "This is why we need to bring Hope to the world... So mongrels like these Apes can learn to fear her power, and unbelievers like this can know their place." She spits on the ground while you watch. Despite the fight, Key is probably the cleanest in your group. She habitually bathes in the river, a practice some of your people frown upon as making her weak, but she insists it is right to present herself as a clean and sweet offering before Hope at all times.

Sparrow, you're in a bit of a spot right now. These guys are injured, sure, but they outnumber you by quite a lot and they're still full of adrenaline. I don't think you need me to tell you that this is not an advantageous position for you. Figure out where you're going and tell me why. 


[Center][h2][color=ed1c24]PEPSI[/color][/h2][/center]
Pepsi, as you're enjoying the cheers, you see a few guys go running off, yelling for the town guards and looking spooked. At least one is headed for Alcohol's place. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. 

The guy at the bar, Twice, doesn't seem to pleased with you, either. "Hey, Pepsi, can you drag his ass outside or something? It's gonna stink and I don't need Alcohol's guys sniffin' around here." It's something of an open secret that Twice sells more than just booze out of his little tent, as evidenced by the occasional patron quietly tweaking out in a corner and the somewhat regular visits from Avenue's people. 

Perhaps the most concerning, you get a glimpse of Hemlock as she's headed away. 

What do you do?

Show us the ritual you're performing, and Open Your Brain. PM me when you're at that point and I'll feed you what you see. 

[Center][h2][color=fdc68a]ALCOHOL[/color][/h2][/center]
Oh boy. You're having something of a busy morning. It hasn't even been 5 minutes since Milk left that you see one of your guys, Nickles, come barging through your door. 
"Al! Something's happened! That big guy from Plaza... he fuckin' killed First! Stabbed him to death with a broken bottle and then bragged about it to the crowd. He's down at Twice's place. Some of the other guys are trying to get a few men to see if we can get him under arrest." 

Alcohol, this is probably some bad fuckin' news for you. What are you gonna do about it?

[center][h2][color=ec582c]MILK[/color][/h2][/center]
Milk, you've not been down long before you see one of the cops sprint past you in a rush, and you see a crowd starting to disperse around Twice's place. It looks like some crazy shit just went down, but you're too far to make out exactly what happened. 

You know more or less the area where Hemlock lives, but that doesn't guarantee she'll be there. She tends to wander like the crazy bitch she is. What are you gonna do?
