Ah, a date.

Wear your bowtie
grab the rose
box of chocolate
your wallet
the skull

keep one slot open in case you come across something you want during your date. (unless wearing the bowtie takes up an empty slot, in which case, ditch the skull.

WALLET
BOWTIE
BOX OF CHOCOLATES
BOTTLE OF BLOOD
CREATURE'S SKULL

With those last two: if she can't accept this part of you, she ain't the one. (Plus, popping the drink for ourselves is the contingency plan for if the romantic implications turn out to be a bait-and-switch.)

SPECTER MET OMEN AT A SWAP MEET DOWNTOWN WHILE HE WAS LOOKING FOR MORE KNIVES. AFTER SOME TALKING THEY AGREED TO-

>Ah, a date.

NO. NOT DATE. SIMPLY TO…"HANGOUT" AS OMEN PUT IT. OMEN IS NEW TO DARK CITY AND LOOKING TO EXPAND HIS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. HE ONLY KNOWS PEOPLE FROM HIS OFFICE JOB AND THEY'RE MORE WORK ACQUAINTANCES THAN FRIENDS

OMEN: Now that I finally have a little free time I don't have to worry about calls from work or anything like that! I hate having to drop what I'm doing to fill in for someone who was just too lazy to show up.
OMEN: What do you do for work?

SPECTER WISHES TO KEEP HIS LINE OF WORK A SECRET FROM OMEN, HE IS QUITE SURE THAT OMEN WILL THINK POORLY OF HIS PROFESSION AS A HITMAN BUT HE ALSO KNOWS HE WOULDN'T BE A VERY GOOD ONE IF HE TOLD EVERYONE HE MET.

White lie! Say you're an exterminator. They'll assume you're a pest exterminator.

You said it yourself; you work at an office. "Noses being put to grindstones, you know how it is." C'mon - as someone pretending not to be a hitman, it is your civic duty to deliver cheeky inside jokes like the above example.

OMEN: Most other arcades are a VR. Which is fun but I like these too. What do you want to play first? I want to get some tickets for a prize.

THERE'S A NICE VARIETY OF GAMES. SPECTERS FAVOURITE IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY THE SAME DOUCHEBAG MOSQUITO FROM BEFORE BUT THERE'S STILL PLENTY OTHERS. OMEN SEEMS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THE SHOOTING GAME AT THE BACK, IT'S A CO-OP ONE; THERE'S THE FIGHTING GAME SPECTER'S BEEN GETTING PRETTY GOOD AT; OR HE COULD CHOOSE TO PLAY A SINGLE PLAYER GAME AND LET OMEN PLAY HIS OWN GAME AS WELL.

Play the co-op game with Omen.
The game turns out to be very very violent, much more violent and bloody than the jobs you go on.

Fighting game. Didn't they make one of these about you?

Follow Omen's instincts. Play the shooty game.

We can always just wait for the mosquito to finish playing your favourite and jump on it when they leave.

SPECTER GETS NERVOUS AT THE QUESTION ASKING WHY OMEN WANTED TO KNOW
OMEN: When we were at the swap meet you were looking at a stand full of knives, and your bag had a bunch of other knives in it.
OMEN: I'll be honest you looked sort of scary!

What do you do Omen?

How is he doing that?

Tell him he's really impressive with a gun. Ask how he's practiced whenever he isn't working.

Ask Omen where he's from! Always a good place to start. He's also very talented at arcade games, is he an enthusiast?

>Where's he from?
OMEN: I was born in Basilla, but moved around a lot afterwards. If you mean where was I before I got to Dark then I was in Tongue. I moved here because my job needed me to.

BASILLA IS ABOUT 1,500 MILES TO THE EAST OF DARK. TONGUE IS ONLY AROUND 550 MILES SOUTH OF DARK. WHILE BASILLA IS A SMALL RURAL TOWN, TONGUE IS A MUCH LARGER CITY, THOUGH NOT AS LARGE AS DARK IS

>What does he do?
OMEN: What for work? Data entry mostly; like I said before, boring. If you mean what I do outside of work I read a bit. I like looking for antiques too, old things are neat.

SPECTER ASKS IF OMEN PLAYS ARCADE GAMES IN HIS SPARE TIME TOO
OMEN: Only the VR ones. Basilla had an old school arcade but it's been years since I've been there. Holograms and light projections are nice and all but I like the clicking noises old arcade machines make.

AFTER SOME TALKING SPECTER REALIZES HE HASN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO HIS SCREEN. HE TURNS BACK JUST IN TIME TO SEE AN ENEMY REDUCE HIM TO ZERO HEALTH AND KILL HIM.
OMEN: Oops, guess I distracted you huh? Hey! What's the grossest thing you've had to exterminate?
SPECTER: ?
OMEN: You said you were an exterminator right?. I know you said it was boring but I bet you get to do more than sit at a desk like I do, I bet someone's called you to get rid of a massive lung-roach or a raptor spider yeah?
OMEN: Or if that's too gross how about an easy question, like...what's your favorite food?

SPECTER SAYS HE DOES A LITTLE AND THAT IT'S REWARDING WORK AND PAYS WELL. THE GROSS PARTS DON'T BOTHER HIM ALL THAT MUCH. SPECTER ASKS IF OMEN LIKES HIS JOB
OMEN: Huh? Oh! Yeah, it's not bad. I've had worse jobs, there's worse jobs than boring one's y'know?

SPECTER ALSO TELLS OMEN THAT HE CANNOT EAT SOLID FOOD, SO HE ONLY DRINKS LIQUIDS. SPECTER OBVIOUSLY WON'T TELL OMEN HIS FAVOURITE DRINK IS BLOOD, SO HE CLAIMS HIS SECOND FAVORITE DRINK, WATERMELON ICED TEA, IS HIS FAVORITE.
OMEN: Only drinking? You could probably eat things like soup or stew as long as it's not too chunky though right? I love beef stew!

SPECTER LOOKS THE MOSQUITO UP AND DOWN, HE'D NEVER SEEN THIS GUY BEFORE AND HE DOESN'T LOOK AFFILIATED WITH THE ARCADE. HE PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY REAL AUTHORITY OVER THE BUSINESS, EITHER WAY OMEN IS VISIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE GUY SO CLOSE

demand to know what gives him the right or authority to order you around.

Tell the mosquito he is being very rude and if continues to do so there may be a kerfuffle

Don't reply, don't even bother acknowledging him. Walk over to an employee and simply tell them this guy's bothering you.

Move away with omen and then make sure omen is distracted so you can get away.
When you’re alone, disguise as an arcade worker (ideally one that looks vaguely important) and politely but firmly ask the mosquito to leave for he is disruptive to other customers.
When you return to omen just tell him you needed to go to the bathroom and were mildly embarrassed about telling him.

Punch him in the dick.

Could also break his nose, then threaten to snap it off and stab him with it.

Oooh I like the idea of giving him a lil crook in his probiscus, punch up!

Stand next to Omen for solidarity. If this nuisance keeps walking him backwards, stand your ground. If he keeps approaching, apply violence with an eye to causing pain rather than permanent injury or death.

Possess mosquito, don’t stop his advance but make sure he leaves himself in a position for omen to claim an easy victory.
When all is said and done, give Omen a few compliments for ‘saving’ us.

Firmly self defense now, you are cleared to damage him. You might want to avoid anything permanent just yet.

And oh, look. His back is now to you. Make it count, and try for pain.

Fisticuffs aren't normally your preferred weapon of choice, but this guy doesn't stand a chance with you and Omen tag-teaming him. Do only enough to teach a lesson, though; don't do anything permanent. Nothing major, anyway.

Kick him in the shin.

So your powers are temporary... Well that makes sense, and is a good thing too. If you grow too powerful it will give you trouble down the way. It helps to keep a low profile. What DO you get to keep from your blood drinking? Can you permanently grow more powerful in some other way?

THERE ARE PLENTY OF GOOD FAST FOOD RESTURAUNTS AROUND; BURGERS, PIZZA, OR SPECTER AND OMEN CAN HEAD TO THE ICE CREAM PARLOR. THERE'S A TACO HORN NEARBY BUT TACO HORN IS AWFUL AND SPECTER WON'T RUIN OMEN'S NIGHT LIKE THAT.

>>1009784
Hmmm, I'm thinking pizza. You can order marinara sauce on the side to go with your BLOOD.

>>1009784
>And if someone gives us trouble later a good stabbing will end it faster
Apparently Omen is ok with stabbing someone! But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’d be ok with killing someone.

>Food
Now you get to awkwardly stare at Omen while he eats and you try to pretend to drink a soda.

>Where to eat?
Pizza is always a good choice.

Staby staby.

>>1009786
Yee.

This is turning out to be a great da- HANGOUT.

SPECTER LEADS OMEN TO THE NEAREST PIZZA KNIGHT.
OMEN: Oh man! I used to work at one of these. It sucked! My boss was a jerk and they always put way too much garlic in the pizza...is there a buffet?
SPECTER: *nods*
OMEN: Perfect!

>You can order marinara sauce on the side to go with your BLOOD.
SPECTER DOES ENJOY DRINKING THE MARINARA SAUCE AT THE PIZZA KNIGHT WHEN I ORDERS IT, BUT HE'S NOT QUITE SURE IF HE CAN DO THAT WITHOUT OMEN-
OMEN: Hey Specter! I dare you to drink the marinara sauce packets when we get inside.

NEVERMIND.

AFTER SOME TIME INSIDE OMEN HAD GONE THROUGH 19 SLICES OF PEPPERONI, ANCHOVY, AND OLIVE PIZZA SLICES AND SPECTER HAD 2 SODAS AND 3 SAUCE PACKETS.
OMEN: So, you like drinking those?
SPECTER: *nods*
OMEN: Would you have done that anyway if I didn't dare you?
SPECTER: *shrugs*
OMEN: Ha! Well I guess I can't judge...Hey! Do you go to a boxing class or something? You threw some mean punches! I wanted to go to a self defense class for a while since I can hardly make a fist.
OMEN: Do you know how to use a knife as well as you punch?

Tell him that most of your arsenal doesn’t see much real use , unless he counts the times where you’ve brought along a piece of your collection along on an extermination job. Always fun to practice a new weapon on a particularly stabable bug.

You have lots of practice with a lot of weapons, but its more of an acquired skill than a trained one. You sort of just picked it up living in such a dangerous city.

You're good with basically anything melee.

The punching is actually reapplied knife stuff. Get in close and hit the soft bits... there's a lot that applies to both.

Knife collecting is a hobby, and the various ways that they're made and used for is really interesting.

I can use a knife, yeah. I learned fighting out of necessity. As you just witnessed, you are going to encounter mean people in this place, so you have to be prepared.

I am also good at throwing things. I am way better at that than shooting.

Ask if he's good with any weapons other than guns.

SPECTER EXPLAINS HOW WHILE MOST OF HIS KNIVES DO NOT SEE ANY REAL USE HE DOES KNOW HOW TO USE THEM OUT OF NESSECITY, AND HOW THE PUNCHING HE KNOW'S IS JUST REAPPLIED KNIFE FIGHTING SKILLS. SPECTER TALKS ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS DARK CAN BE.
OMEN: There was a knife as a prize in an arcade. I don't doubt this place is dangerous.
SPECTER:...

SPECTER ASKS IF OMEN IS OKAY LIVING HERE
OMEN: Oh! I'm gonna be just fine Specter. It should be pretty obvious now I'm good with a gun.
OMEN: I'm the smallest out of 4 children and my mother was afraid I wouldn't be able to defend myself so she taught me how to shoot!

OMEN MAKES A GUN MOTION WITH HIS HAND
OMEN: Danger's not a problem. Anyone becomes more dangerous with a GUN, and I'm the most dangerous when I have a gun!
OMEN:...I mean... like not in a crazy way...I'm not a crazed gunman alright?

OMEN SHOWS HIS CLAWS
OMEN: Everyone else in my family's big enough to claw fight very well, but my size makes it a bit harder. That being said I can still use them well enough. I learned a little from watching everyone else.
OMEN: Maybe I can apply what I know to a little knife fighting. Then again I can tell you're also just strong on your own.

OMEN CHOMPS THROUGH A 20TH SLICE OF PIZZA.
OMEN: Mmm...This has been pretty fun so far. How much longer do you want this date go on for?

Ah, he call this a date, you can't deny it any longer!

Is he having fun? What else could we do in this OFFICIAL date? Is there anything he would like to do?

So it is a date, lucky you you spooky boi.

SPECTER ANSWERS THE CALL, ON THE SCREEN HE SEE'S DECKER, THE ONE WHO FIXES HIM UP WITH THE MAJORITY OF HIS JOBS.
DECKER: Specter. We need to talk
SPECTER: …
DECKER: I was bookmarking job listings on Hit-Net for your next mark and I noticed a certain listing

SPECTER EXPLAINS HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WORK RIGHT NOW
DECKER: Well you should. Look at this.

DECKER SENDS THE LISTING TO SPECTER'S PHONE. IT'S A PICTURE OF HIM
DECKER: Some gang leader by the name of Culex says you broke his little brother's nose and won't stand for the insult. Now he wants you dead.
DECKER: There's also a second listing next to yours. Do you know this person?

DECKER SENDS ANOTHER HIT LISTING, THIS TIME SHOWING OMEN'S FACE.
DECKER: Because they're also wanted dead.
SPECTER: !!!!!!!!!!!
DECKER: Luckily, Culex also has a hit out on his head. So you've got good reason to kill him when you get the chance. I'm already doing my best to scrub the listing from the site...should I try to remove the other one too?
SPECTER: *NODS*
DECKER: Okay! I'm on it. Just try to stay safe, I'm pretty sure someone's already seen this by now.

>>1009918
Welp. Better tell Omen he's in danger; does he have a gun on him? Ask how comfortable he'd be turning this into a date that involves... extermination. Also find out where Culex is so you can go take him out immediately.

Is the skull going to be useful?

God damn it... Welp, better get ready, luckily you have a KNIFE on you, so you are not in much disadvantage. Stay close to the bathroom door and be ready to take Omen and gtfo. You already paid for the food right?

Also, is Omen a gal or a guy? We never established that. Not that it matters, but it would be weird not to know.

>>1009929
The narrator has used masculine pronouns for Omen previously.

You should let Omen know that a friend of yours has informed you that that mosquito is the little brother of a gang leader so you both now have to watch yourselves.

Apologize to Omen, say you didn't mean for work to follow you to your date, then commence murder

Let them come and counter attack, the moment we attack one of them, the other will respond. Position yourself in line with them, don't let them surround you.

Loot shovel.

None of them are appear armed with ranged weapons, grab a piece of rubble and throw it to try and knock one of the advancing hitmen off balance as you begin the attack.

Three on one and light on throwables. You might want to drink the blood you packed now. If that's not enough, or there's some other reason that won't work, your best bet might be to throw the kukri at the big guy holding Omen. Ideally, that would turn it from a three-on-one to a two-on-two, which is much better odds.

Let's try the diplomatic approach: stab their feet and punch the big guy in the face!

To be honest, that one was tougher than most. You don't usually have to fight other hitmen, though... It feels a bit regretful that you had to fight.
Anyway, we're not done. Culex is behind this, so ask Omen if he'll join you on an assassination mission.

>>1010042

Can you drink his blood and gain a power? Or do you need to be the one that kills him in order to do that?

Actually, if we're going to keep using that metaphor, these guys are also exterminators and-

Ah, fuck it. Just tell him that you're a hitman and those guys were also hitmen. A friend called and told you that mosquito guy's brother put a hit on both of you. Then call Decker to see if he had any luck scrubbing your names off the website.

Omen is surprisingly calm. Maybe he's done this before?

"Yeah, but this time it was kind of personal as well. And this were 'exterminators' too. Kinda your fault, they were sent by the brother of that blood sucking jerk earlier. MOSTLY my foult. Should have handled that situation differently.
Something tells me that you do mor than just 'data entry'."

Yep. But he’s clearly no stranger to this kind of stuff either…

These were fellow exterminators, actually. Professional dispute, you understand.

Turns out the Mosquito had a brother who's a client. Good news? He's also a pest.

OMEN: I've been short a fixer for a while since my last partnership went belly-up, and I don't trust hitman organizations enough to join one...I've been in a bit of a slump because of it. When I met you at that auction I thought it might be a good chance to raise my spirits.

SPECTER RECIEVES ANOTHER CALL FROM DECKER
DECKER: I've managed to scrub the listings for both you and the other person off of the site, along with putting a freeze on the account that did it.

GUNSHOTS CAN BE HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE CALL
DECKER: It put a little heat on me but it's nothing I can't handle. The problem is unless you down Culex he'll probably just send more hit squads after both of you.
OMEN: Who is it?
DECKER: Culex is currently residing at the Luck of the Draw casino on the top floor. It isn't too far from where you are and he can't re-upload the listing if he's a red smear on the floor. If you need anything else from me call. Don't die or it'll impact my earnings got it?

AN EXPLOSION RINGS OUT JUST BEFORE DECKER HANGS UP. HE'S PROBABLY FINE THOUGH. SPECTER UPDATES OMEN ON THE SITUATION.
OMEN: So the next stop on this date is a casino! I mean if you still consider this a date. I understand if you're upset I had a plan to kill you and dispose of your body if I absolutely had to.
OMEN: Speaking of plans, do we have one? Or are we just going in guns blazing? Not that I'm against guns blazing, just want to make sure we're on the same page.

"nah, takes a lot of weight off my back, tbh. The date's been amazing, and you've been incredibly cool about All This. Couldn't ask for better."

Do we know anything about this casino? If so, we can at least get an approach going. If not, fuck it, take initiative. Ain't nobody got time for this.

>>1010104
No this takes so much pressure off me. Going out on a hit is my idea of a good time, so I'm excited to continue

>>1010104
>if you still consider this a date
Tell Omen that yes, you’d still consider this to be a date. (Blushing while telling him this is optional.)

Since you’re gonna be working together, you might as well tell him about how your Blood Drink powers work. Ask if he’s also got some kind of power?

I would be upset if you DIDN'T have a plan to kill me if i tried anything funny. I did picked up some attitudes that pointed at you being another hitman, but i was kinda focused on the date, which is totaly still going by the way.

Tell Omen that your boss has been pulling strings to keep you safe, at risk to himself. If that isn't trustworthy you don't know what is.

For the plan: We'll scope out the casino and try to figure out any alternative entrances before we go in the front door. Wide-open floorspace while outnumbered is not a good idea. Since this is a date, though, we'll try to avoid sewer entrances. Maybe we can dress up in disguise if they're on the lookout for us?

Alternatively, if Culex doesn't control casino security, we can just take the elevator up without an issue. In that case, the closer confines should work to our advantage.

SPECTER AND OMEN RUSH TO THE CASINO. THE TWO CLIMB A NEARBY BUILDING TO SCOPE THE SURROUNDING AREA AS BEST AS THEY CAN. DECKER CALLS SPECTER AGAIN
DECKER: It looks like Culex has bought the place for a vacation stay. Top to bottom he's got his men swarming the place like ants.
OMEN: There are gunmen down in the courtyard too.
DECKER: Who is that?
SPECTER: …
DECKER: The other person on the hit listing?
OMEN: Hi! I'm Omen! Are you looking for another hitman to fix for?
SPECTER: !?
OMEN: Oh! Right right. I'll worry about that later! Right now I should be focusing on infiltration, do you have any ideas Specter?

How built-up is the area surrounding the casino? Any possibility to walk up to the walls unmolested? How good are either or both of you at climbing?

We could climb up the side of the tower and try to break in from up there. Explosives could be good for this, but there's probably windows.

If Culex has bought it for a vacation stay, is it still functioning as a casino? You could disguise yourselves as regular guests and walk in the front door, which should at least get you to the elevators. From there you have a number of options, but all of them are better than fighting your way in the front door.

If we can't climb and we can't disguise our way in, we could try to break in a ground-floor window or something.

I have an idea: I'm going to drink this bottle of blood.

Is there any access from the outside walls? The angle we're looking at the tower from looks like we might be able to hang-glide there. Or just zipline over from a nearby building. We could also try getting in from below...

>>1010191
On one hand, going in guns blazing means there’s more guys you can drink blood from, which would mean you’d get a lot of powers by the time you reached Culex. The downside is that it’d take a while to actually reach Culex this way and he’ll have time to set up defenses while waiting for you to reach him.

On the other hand, trying to sneak in to get as close to Culex as possible before needing to fight would help speed things up and he won’t be able to set up proper defenses when you’re so close to him. The downside is that you’d have fewer powers by the time you reached Culex and him calling for reinforcements would leave you surrounded between the guys you snuck past on the lower floors and the guys you need to go through on the upper floors.

I’m not really sure how to do this. Let’s ask Omen and Decker if either of them have any ideas.

if he's up on the top floor, we could always just bring the whole building down, the only downside to that is the massive amount of collateral damage.

>How built-up is the area surrounding the casino?
NOT VERY, IT'S A CASINO NOT A FORTRESS.

>Is there any access from the outside walls?
THERE ARE PLENTY OF WINDOWS TO BREAK INTO

>if he's up on the top floor, we could always just bring the whole building down, the only downside to that is the massive amount of collateral damage.
YES, WAY TOO MUCH COLLATERAL. BESIDES, A LACK OF PROPER TOOLS MAKES THIS IMPOSSIBLE.

>The angle we're looking at the tower from looks like we might be able to hang-glide there. Or just zipline over from a nearby building
AGAIN NEITHER SPECTER NOR OMEN HAVE TO PROPER TOOLS TO HANG GLIDE OR ZIPLINE THERE.

>I have an idea: I'm going to drink this bottle of blood.
SPECTER PULLS OUT THE BOTTLE OF BLOOD HE HAS ON HIM. BLOOD IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

CHOOSE ONE

>GLIDE
Glide through the air

>BALLISTIC SKIN
Bullets hurt MUCH less

>BOMBERMAN
Turn an object you can carry into an impact bomb

Time to glide.

>>1010227
Ok, so, this gives us options.
1, Specter glides over the guards, then attacks from behind while Omen attacks from the front. Drawback is that we're probably not going to use glide again once we're inside.
If the glide can support Omen's weight, then we could completely bypass the guards depending on how much room behind them there is, AND use it as an escape plan.
2, frontal assault with Specter tanking some shots when needed. Drawback is that this involves taking some damage. Benefit is that this is the most useful long term ability.
3, frontal assault again but with an explosion. Drawback is that it's a one-use ability.
Alternatively we can use the explosion as a distraction, to either take down guards with the element of surprise or to sneak past them.

I'm leaning towards option 2, because we need to plan ahead and this thread seems a lot less arcade-y so we can't just logic our way through fights taking zero damage.
If we could glide with Omen I like that best. It's romantic!

Bomberman!

Ghosts should be able to levitate, gliding seems to be the closest to that.

glide, we can pick up Omen and glide in, kill the boss, then we glide back out.

DECKER: I'm in the camera's. From where you are you can either make it to an elevator or go up the stairs
OMEN: If we go up an elevator and stop on a floor with guards we're probably dead.
DECKER: I doubt going up the stairs will be easier. Either way figure it out. As we speak guards starting to wonder what's going on

OMEN READIES HIS NEW GUNS BEFORE TURNING TO SPECTER
OMEN: Hey Specter?
SPECTER: ?
OMEN: Do you like violence?

>>1010257
Sure, a bit. Mostly just a means to an end though. What about him?

Go up the stairs. Before you do that though, go in the elevator and push all the buttons. Should work as a distraction.

“Yeah, I’m partial to violence when I work. Why do you ask? Are you about to make things especially violent?”
Take the stairs, elevators can be sabotaged.

Why not go for the classic of using the elevator and using the fire hatch to ride on top of it while it goes up?

I like the part that comes after violence.

The rush of adrenaline can certainly be cathartic, yes. Let's see if we can break out of the elevator cabin and into the shaft. They might not be expecting that.

I like violence in my line of work, not so much in my free time. What about you?

>>1010272
I like this approach. We could split up too, one in the elevator and the other one up the stairs.
Does Omen have something in mind?

>>1010257
Yes because it usually leads to blood that I can drink.

BEFORE THE TWO CAN REACH THE END OF THE HALLWAY THE ELEVATOR OPENS UP. A MUCH LARGER GUARD EQUIPPED WITH BLADE LIKE ARMS EXITS THE ELEVETOR WITH TWO MORE GUARDS ON EITHER SIDE OF IT.

Let Omen take on those who have guns, Specter should RAM the big one, but remember what happend with Drill.

Also, what did Omen mean when he said he didn't expected Specter to respond that?

Omen expected Specter to love violence too.

So uh, definitely take out the guns first because guns hurt. Specter can go on the defensive against the big guy, blocking those blades so Omen can get good shots off.

Last thread all our active powers were one-use. Is that still the case? If not, we can glide out of here. If we can't glide, then we'll have to turn the elevator into a kill box when the guards arrive. Say, that machinegun is still handy isn't it?

Well let’s do him in together. More romantic that way.

Seconding this, but in person. You can't confirm off a cliff, and we're professionals, here.

Plus, there's a decent chance this fucker can still glide. Don't want to risk it

Sleepover? Sleepover!

Specter, you can't let this date end just yet. There's one thing you should do before Omen leaves.

Give him a kiss! It doesn't have to be on the lips, but you should at least kiss him on the cheek!

You definitely have to split with Omen. He expressed an interest in the money, even if he later retracted it, and he did just as much of the work as you did.

Also, sleepover.

Split the share and deffo give a smooch.

No sleepovers on the first date!

Split the pay. He pulled his weight, easily. You're up for a collab anytime.

Ya'know, if he wants...

(or you could just hang out, that's good, too)

Wait, why are we getting paid for this? Did someone take out a hit on Culex, or did Decker nab the money the jackass put up for us, or what?

But yeah, split the pay, agree with Omen, but only if he can't think of anything else he wants to do tonight.

Split the money and part ways. Be seeing you, hopefully not on opposite sides.

>>1010662 Culex also had a bounty on him, we were told that while we were informed on the bounty on Specter.
