Affairs and their Outcomes 3

BACK TO THE PRESENT

All of the characters awaken on Tuesday 17th February, the day after rescuing Georgii from the skinhead gang he was with from the street. Naturally the shock of this sudden change and modification of time or premonition will impact them, more once they realise they all dreamed the future (not the individual moments but the previous session), and they may question if it was a dream.

The only thing still remaining from that fake future is that Dimitrii has the chemical notes to the Inferno drug. This may get them talking.

THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF EVENTS IN VAGUE ORDER

- Savva, Sergei’s partner calls Sergei. Roleplay it out. He says that everything has been taken care of. He’s back in the city with what he was looking for. Can he come over. This will shake up the future thing - the first sign things will not be the same. Savva has a two large suitcases brimming with marijuana and plastilin. There will be more every week Savva says but not as much but a regular supply.

- Sergei getting intimate with his girlfriend, have them go to a restaurant or somewhere and then get them talking. Before they leave make sure Georgii is there and comments on how good Natalya looks, just to incite Sergei’s paranoia. On the way out of the restaurant Sergei bumps into Stefan and the Mafioso entering the public place. Stefan stops and asks how they are, takes a little too much interest in Natalya. Minor discrepiencies like this can help to alienate and unshake stable characters.

- Police pull over Anichka, one of the officers remembering Anichka as a prostitute - she is not now, though, but the policeman doesn’t know this and is needing a bit of release. He calls her by name and moves over to her with his partner. If she runs she will not be harmed. The cop gets anxious. He wants a free blowjob. If she doesn’t comply he gets his gun against her head and demands her to do as he says. If she does he leaves her. If she doesn’t he becomes more agitated and will accidentally shoot her in the stomach as he hurls her down to the ground. The Other officer freaks, tells his partner to killer her and leave. The cop doesn’t listen and shoots her in the head, unbuckles his pants and lays upon her. Anichka is strangely aware of this then blackness takes her away. She opens her eyes into those of Saint Princess Trakanova in an apocalyptic Moskov, buildings in war-torn ruin, bodies hanging from the power line, black and red smoke barrelling around her. This is a future possible end if the characters destroy Binah instead of Gleb and the Princess in the future aspect of this campaign. The Princess cradles her head, and consoles her, telling her parables. “the word will be revealled soon, child. When that word resounds in your head from God the redemptive fires will seed truth over your barren soil.

The Illusion has crumbled and humans are awakening as Malkuth so wanted and this awakening keeps her alive (since those awakened cannot die: this is not to say that a stray bullet would not: future possibilities are only that). Anichka reawkens lying in the alley, freezing, her jeans ripped to her knees and her thighs crisp with leathery seed. She aches and her legs are scratched. She is bleeding but not shot.
- Georgii is careless and does not obey his brothers demands of being in the house regularly so he can trust him again. Georgii disobeys and abuses his privelege and is gone for days. If commanded to stay upon threat of violence or something of the same emotional torment, Georgii will obey.

When Sergei is out and Natayla is at home with Georgii, Georgii will rape her and Sergei can be arranged to return home as this occurs. Natalya bent over a couch screaming as Georgii grunts, sodomizing her and kneading her small breasts roughly. If Sergei can see beyond his hatred he may see that something is in control of his brother and may think about helping him, otherwise Georgii’s probably dead. And there is the torment of Natayla begins, something she will not get over, not after the loss of her career. No sex for Sergei.
- An old lady tells Petr he should stop dreaming and then gives him some food. Dreams can be terrible she says. You need to learn your dreams. How they work. You need help, she says. Find some.
- The Skinhead gang seeks revenge and on that note Dahzbog sends them to a Youth Camp.
- Petr dreams once again. This time he is farther down the passage deep underground. He doesn’t know where he is, faint light streaming through the odd occassional grate. Aetats sensing the time travelling chase Petr. This scenario is the story of how Petr really got his locket, from the Seraphim Sandolphin - the picture in the silver locket of his mother is his only mother... the mother of this body which is different from his own. Let him discover it clean and in good shape, older, bigger.

The Aetats attack and naturally he runs, into the caverns beneath the castle. Play with this for a while before he comes across the Seraphim. Bloodied with iron manacles on chains linking him to the cold wall, his wings hang limp, but still radiates a shining bright light. He asks what he is running from. Upon hearing the Seraphim will create like sculpture from the very air a silver locket to mask Petr from the Aetats when in his possession. Then Petr shifts back to reality present aware of it, not dreaming but a waking vision.
- The characters must push the marijuana and several improvised deals could be arranged and friendships gained, etc.
- Should the characters invest money in a chemist to reproduce the drug, they’d better make it someone they can get out of work willing to illegally create contraband - tough in itself. If they produce the drug various pros and cons will arise.
* It becomes incredibly popular and people are willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money for the drug. Addiction is quick and the drug is loved by the youth. Soon money is rolling in. Savva talks with Sergei and tells him they can make billions of money here. Feed the characters ‘their equal share’ of four million rubles a week and they take the big money. A few careful months and they could be in America. They’ll need knew dealers, maybe bodyguards for them both, a gang? Does Sergei betray his comrades? Are the characters simply ditched for better talent?
* The Mafia will go to Sergei expecting a cut of his money with such success. If he says no, they will be shocked and do they threaten? Does Sergei have protection?

- Anastasia after hearing of the drug, its great effects and from whom it comes from goes out of her way to seduce Sergei. She leaves a message about renegotiating his business within her club. At the club in her room out the back, where black silk and leather in equal abundance litters her bedroom, she seduces him and says she’ll let his dealers back into her prominant club on one conditions - 100 capsules per week free. Before she agrees she wants to try the drug, but with him... he could poison her she jokes. Wild sex with knives and ribbons follows.

CONCLUSION

The Orphanage. What about it? Where did Georgii become possessed? Dahzbog now knows who the characters are and has people searching for them. A drug boom may bring them in. Do they investigate further?
