Paradise City Thread 1

[Overlord775]

Joe Smith is at his house, doing gardening.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"I don't recall inviting anyone else over."

Nicholas is slightly suspicious, he walks to the door and speaks. "Who's there? I'm kind of busy right now."

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame patientlly waits for Nicholas to get back.

 

[PsychoWarper]

"Hmm... whats this?" Otto asks in confusion looking at the box.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Package for you." A voice says

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"A package? Very well." Nicholas opens the door, while also having his Stand summoned standing beside him out of sight of the person on the other side of the door.

 

[Torlikoff]

There is nobody at the door, just a very small package

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Nicholas inspects the package, he uses his Stand to pick it up and open it.

 

[Torlikoff]

The package holds a small piece of folded paper

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Nicholas has his Stand unfold it, then reads the piece of paper.

 

[PsychoWarper]

"I don't remembering ordering anything... lets head inside so I can get ready and ask my neighbors" Otto tells Michael.

 

[Torlikoff]

Nicholas has his Stand unfold it, then reads the piece of paper.

The paper seems to be blank.

 

[Kiryu2012]

Bear jumped onto a wooden bench, curling up into a ball as he decided to rest under the warmth of the sun.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Nicholas calls out to Stephanie with his Stand still holding the paper.

"Can you come and take a look at this with your Stand? Someone sent me a blank paper and I think there may be more to it."

 

[Jackythejack]

"Oh, of course." She said with a Nod as she put on her stand once more. Instead of bothering to read the note, she'd stare at the package and turn on her X-ray vision.

 

[Torlikoff]

The paper seems to have some odd Stand energy coming off of it. The paper begins flickering, an image of a man cloaked in black coming into view on it.

"I understand that you have encountered and had a minor incident with a member of our group." The man on the paper says.

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame walks over. "Whats going on?" She doesnt notice the stando thing, cause ya know, no stand.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"We have. The man just so happened to be carrying drugs. I assume you're from this group he spoke of? And you're Stand Users too, how fascinating, it seems your Stand can project itself through paper. What do you want from me? And how did you get your information that fast?"

 

[Torlikoff]

"You blabbing loudly in several public places, jumping across roofs, and having a fight that took down my favorite dry cleaners isn't that subtle. As for why this call is being made, it's a request: be silent about this. You've seen nothing and shall mention nothing to nobody. If you do this there will be no issues." The man says.

[Mame can see this]

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame glares.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Ah, a threat? How exciting and mysterious! No, I intend to find you. It's my job to learn about Stand Users after all. Be warned though, try and attack me and you will meet the same fate as that subordinate of yours."

 

[Jackythejack]

"Gosh, aren't you sickeningly ambitious?" The girl muttered as she stared down at the paper. This seemed...concerning. "What happens if I so happen to follow this man's plan of finding you?"

 

[Torlikoff]

"If you try to find us, we'd do everything in our power to stop you. Starting with $10000 dollars given to the each of you in fact."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Money won't change my mind. I'm plenty wealthy as is. What I want are Stand Users and you've got multiple from the looks of it, that's why I will find you. Oh and also the selling drugs thing, I also want to stop that."

 

[Jackythejack]

"Well, hold on a second," Stephanie said as she examined the stand in order to get its stats. "That's a very tempting money offer. Prototypes don't come cheap after all..."

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame glares at Stephanie.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"I can help cover the cost of your work if you collaborate with me. Besides, do you really trust these guys? I certainly wouldn't. If we accepted their deal, they'd probably just try and silence us when we went to get the money."

 

[Jackythejack]

"Do I trust them? No, but money is money all the same. Money doesn't exactly grow on trees. Haven't been to the casino in a while, you know. Could use some more cash." She chuckled and continued to stare intently at the stand.

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame has the look of a disappointed parent, she cross's her arms and looks at Steph.

 

[Torlikoff]

"We'd rather you not take action against us, conflict is something we pride ourselves on averting. And if you're wondering if this is my stand, no, it isn't."
[The Stand ´¢óMessage ManÒÇìhas the following stats.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"You pride yourselves on averting conflict, yet your business is in the drug trade, one of the most dangerous illegal businesses you can run? That doesn't seem very smart."

 

[Kiryu2012]

After a moment of resting, Bear stood up as he gave a stretch, before the cat hopped down from the bench and proceeded to casually walk down the sidewalk.

 

[Jackythejack]

"This isn't your stand, really? Then who's is it?" Stephanie didn't know if it was possible, but she wasn't going to see if she could at least read either the Stand's or this man's thoughts. Maybe she can figure out something important.

 

[Torlikoff]

"Our business transactions you'll find are mostly peaceful, with the exception of a wannabe hero on occasion."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Oh? Is that because you've killed off the competition? Also, anyone would react to a gunshot."

 

[Torlikoff]

"No murder was needed, they know their place. I can see that this is going nowhere, so I'm not going to continue this." The image disappears from the paper.

 

[Junkoposter]

Mame sighs. "We should probably tell the police about these guys, hopefully they havent infiltrated or bribed the police."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Well, I guess there goes that chance."

Nicholas looks at Stephanie. "Are you really short on cash or were you just stalling for time trying to find out more about this guy?

 

[Junkoposter]

[I feel like I'm being ignored ovo]

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"I don't think the police will help, I recall that guy saying something about being arrested and walking out in one day. They're likely in this group's pockets."
