On the way to the Orphanage
As Thames sneaked behind the newly arrived group he managed to count exactly seven gangsters. None of them looked particularly older than Thames himself. By his reckoning they were all at about Mary’s age, give or take a year or two. The group was quiet, but from time to time there would be a noticeable nervous glance casted in the direction of the group’s leader. The impression Thames got from most of them was that they didn’t want to be here. Probably the only thing keeping them on the Island was the confidence their leader displayed and maybe the fear of punishment that would follow if they attempted to skedaddle.
Outside of the Orphanage
Group’s leader gave Senna a measuring glance. His eyes flared up for a moment but he quickly managed to acquire an unimpressed demeanour. At hearing Senna’s words a mocking smirk appeared on his face and he invitingly spread his arms.
“He is free to come, if he’s able. But you coming to meet me instead of him has confirmed what I suspected before I came here.” He lowered his arms and put his hands on his waist. His left eyebrow arced as he continued speaking. “Tell me, is he dead? Or is he too weak to move?”
At his words the clearing exploded with voices.
‘The old man’s dead?’
‘Impossible!’
‘No way…’
‘I wondered why he stopped appearing.’
Many more reached Senna’s ears from the onlookers who followed the gang from their landing on the island to this clearing, but they all held two common emotions: disbelief and fear.
It is at this point that Trog made his appearance.
The leader’s face twisted into snarl, though it was hard to determine whether that was because of the anger at Trog’s threat or disgust at the huge orphan’s monstrous appearance. Other gangsters in the clearing readied themselves for a fight.
“I don’t care about your welcome freak. This island is now possession of my gang, and if you want to get violent I will be happy to do the world a favour and rid it of your ugly mug.”
The Streetwise Samurai territory
The new territory was rich in vermin, but not of the kind which Dodo tended to find palatable. Although she came across one or two critters which would be a good prey, the overwhelming majority of the region’s inhabitants were humans who went about their daily lives, whatever they might be. The place stank, but then again, so did the entirety of the Dirt Town.
Perched as she was on the pole, Dodo was clearly visible to most passersby. They all chose to pretend they didn’t see anything than acknowledge the preying stare of the weird humanoid bird.
Well, all but one.
A young man appeared before the pole Dodo was roosted on and pointed at her with his finger.
“Hey, who are you? I didn’t see you around here before! This area is under my jurisdiction by the command of Shogun. You don’t look like you are up to anything good. State your business!”

@Shortcake No, there will be no timeskip now and you can interact with him. You are free to go about dealing with him however you wish. Negotiate, beat him up, seduce him, charm him with your naivete, etc.
Though if another player decides to get violent there won't be much room for talk.
@Ghost Queen I'm counting anyone who posted on the previous page after my "Just a heads up" post as still around.

@Blight Bug@Shortcake
I would refer you to my post from over 5 days ago:
Only the two new players posted since and half of the players seemed to have dropped off, leaving me with no clear picture of who wants to do what. Even for Dodo and Thames I was uncertain if they wanted to leave the island, join another gang or just mess around, or even stay with the Orphans but they just didn't give a fuck about the old man dying.
Day before yesterday I said I will update and asked if everyone was fine with where their characters are right now or if they want more time to post and nobody posted or asked for more time. I understand that it's not the fault of people who remained in the RP that things didn't get resolved, but the choice was either to wait potentially forever (and let the RP die) or just move things along in a way that allows for people to make up their own resolutions for the Introduction. I hope I won't have to do it again in the future because for me the most interesting thing is to see how PCs interact with each other and resolve the problems together.
If you want to leave the island and join another gang, you can make a post about Dodo doing that.
@Ayame@Kangutso
The RP is still open, but for now I only accept one character per player. I'll check CSs later today.

I would like to move the RP forward by Sunday.
We have 3 groups atm: leadership trio, duo in the room and the two weirdos. Do you think you can wrap up your parts before then?

@Shortcake Years ago OMFritz arranged for island's neutrality with surrounding gangs. This meant that no turf wars were being fought on the island so lots of people flocked to it and it also became a marketplace for intergang trade. So any gang which takes controls of it gets an income boost. Also, an island is in general easier to defend so it's a good retreat.

Chapter I
Day 2 after Fritz's death, early morning
The Vengeance Safe House
“The old man hasn’t been seen in at least a week, and even before his disappearance the rumours have begun to spread that he looked worn out. I talked to several people and all of them were certain that the old man was either dead or on his deathbed.”
Stalwart rocked back and forth in her chair. Her eyes were closed as she listened to the report given to her by the man who was her second-in-command. She wasn’t exactly sure how she felt about the thing she just heard.
“What do you propose Xeon?” She asked.
The man smirked. “It is simple. We need more resources and influence if we are to have any hope of challenging Mr. Shiro. I don’t have to tell you how juicy of a target the Asylum Island is right now, after years of people escaping to the safety of its neutrality, and we have one in a thousand chance right now to take it.”
“Oh? We do?” Stalwart raised an eyebrow.
“Yes! Shogun is busy devouring the Kingdom’s territory after King’s injury and Mr. Shiro doesn’t dare make any move that could weaken the White Blade after the Followers of Zig annihilated Braid’s gang. Veyles is the careful sort and he wouldn’t make the first move and Momo is not an expansionist. Besides those four and us, every other gang is too far away to really give a damn about the Asylum Island.”
Smirk was gone and in its stead the look of fierce determination appeared on Xeon’s face. “Just give me the word and you will have the Asylum Island by nightfall.”
Stalwart made a show of pondering the matter but the truth was she had already decided on her action before Xeon even said a word.
Day 2 after Fritz’s death, midday
The Asylum Island, outside of the Orphanage
Several men disembarked at the small pier of the Asylum Island. Neither of the bunch looked particularly friendly, but that was hardly an unusual thing in Yire-Alba. However, it was strange to see so many men who obviously were up to no good in the territory under the protection of the Old Man Fritz. Most of the island’s inhabitants who saw them come off the boat assumed that this unsavoury group would be trounced and sent packing as soon as the old man heard of their arrival.
The group made their way through the veritable labyrinth of passageways between shacks and other buildings. The complexity of navigating around the Dirt Town’s peculiar (and unstable) architecture had made the trip to the centre of the Asylum Island longer than one would assume looking at the size of the island from one of the river shores.
Once the men have reached the clearing around the orphanage the leader of the group, a young man who looked like he was fresh to the adulthood turned around towards the islanders who have by then gathered around his unfriendly crew – though they all still kept a safe distance, and shouted:
“People of the Asylum Island, from this day on this island is the territory of the Vengeance and its boss Stalwart!”
