Obsidian Gargoyle City (Cyberpunk, Reboot, RP, IC)

[Flarbinia]

It is the year 2186. NATO has collapsed and megacorporations now fight over what is left of its territory. Obsidian Gargoyle City, a city notorious for its many statues and the headquarters of the weapons manufacturer known as Ingsoc Industries, is once again a most wretched hive of crime, scum, and villainy divided between 5 mafia families. Gene splicing of an individual has become the latest fashion sensation as citizens desire an escape from the harsh reality of their lives. Many refugees come to this gilded cage. Some desire a better life while others seek to exploit the corruption and decadence of the city's Crème De La Crème to further their personal agendas. Regardless of a person's ambition or morality, all are dragged into the affairs of the criminal underworld. In the end, only cutthroats survive in OGC.

Arakawa met up with Dr. Magnus Bronstein in a local park in Tokyo Heights.

"I have the drugs. First I want the cash.", Dr. Magnus Bronstein said, forcefully.

"Tell me about what happened to my parents or the deal is off.", Arakawa quickly replied. "Better do it before I bring my friends in handle you. You don't want that do you?"

Dr. Magnus Bronstein looked around, then back to Arakawa. "Your parents died tragically which is a mistake and there is nothing more beyond that. I am sorry it happened. Best to forget about and move on with your life."

Arakawa lunged forward to wrap his arms around Dr. Bronstein's neck.

"I want answers now! Many think you are the one that did it. Perhaps you should go back to prison where you belong. You're a damn criminal!", Arakawa screamed loudly.

"Calm down before someone hears us? Please give me money for the drugs.", Dr. Bronstein remarked. "I don't have much time and I have to get going."

"Your father was killed in prison, but without any reliable witnesses or potential leads, the police cannot determine who killed him, although they do have a list of suspects. His cellmate was a textbook John Doe that went missing after his demise. No fingerprints. No medical or dental records. No previous criminal record. No family tree. No birth certificate. No driver's license. No friends. It would be very easy for him to get away with murdering your father. The man in the next cell was a Peachwood Meadows Bloods enforcer whose brother was killed by your father in retaliation for robbing one of his nightclubs. He had the means and the motive to kill your father in his cell while the guards were distracted by the riot in the next cellblock. The list goes on and on. Your father was arrested for murdering your mother, although the time of her death and the time he entered the house do not match. I wish I could tell you more, but no one wants be bleeding to death in the gutter. Now buy the drugs so that we can all go home." Luca Bentusi said as he raised his Tommy gun to Arakawa's head, his itchy trigger finger moving towards the trigger.

"It's about time Luca you showed up. This gentlemen has been trouble from the start. You haven't missed much.", Dr. Bronstein spoke.

"Alright I will buy the drugs. Next time I am coming after both yours heads.", Arakawa answered.

"You won't touch nether of us. Go home little boy!", Dr. Bronstein exclaimed loudly to Arakawa.

"I know you are impatient, doc, but show Arakawa some fucking respect! His father was Oda's most feared and respected enforcer. Not even his dear old dad's most foul mouthed and hot headed enemies would not talk to him that way. I am only playing bodyguard because you provide Comandante Mastodonte the serum needed to turn his capos into walking tanks. If he decides you are more trouble than you are worth, you will be the one in the trunk getting whacked. Now get back in the limo. The guy on the news says that there is going to be a tornado tonight and I need to get you back to your place." Luca Bentusi said as he angrily stared at the drug dealing scientist before turning his attention back to Arakawa. "Don't mind Bronstein. He doesn't understand the rules of the game like we do. I understand your pain. Possa il vostro padre riposare in pace." Luca said in a respectful tone as he motioned for Bronstein to move.

"Really Oda's most feared respected enforcer. You know what Arakawa might be a good subject for next experiment for the Tyger P-25 serum. I understand the rules clearly and I believe Arakawa can change force the change that is needed.", Dr. Bronstein replied, as he looked at Luca as he headed into the Limo. "Animal instincts of the wild is always good to have and one that has claws that can sink it into its victims leading to their death."

"Don't worry about finding test subjects. There are plenty of deadbeats that owe Comandante Mastodonte money. They won't be missed by anyone that matters. If you must know, the guinea pigs he is currently supplying you with are witnesses that La Famiglia Grande Cesare cannot kill or intimidate." Luca said as he got into the limo, signaling for the driver to head back to Little Italy as he closed the door.

As limo arrived at its destination Dr. Bronstein turned to ask Luca, "So I hear Comandante Mastodonte wants to fund a candidate for city mayor? I hear Bobby Rich is the favorite in the city for mayor but he has not declared a run yet. With those multi-billions of dollars he'd sure make Obsidian Gargoyle City great again. Anyways best to head inside since that sky looks nasty."

"No! Bobby Rich has no chance. The Brass Cobras would kill him. Besides what this city needs is an outsider to run.", Arakawa replied to Luca.

Screaming Snake Hotel. Old Town
"Ingsoc Industries does not like competition that they can't control. They'd nip that plan in the bud. Fortunately for us, there are four other potential candidates we could choose from. Mayor MacGru will be trying to keep his office, but that hothead is a relic whose biggest campaign contributors have either died or jumped ship. Michael Cane wants to replace the old man, but the recent allegations of hoarding child pornography has cost that embezzler the lead in the polls. Felicia Longbottom wants to be the first female mayor of OGC, but that self-righteous hypocrite is currently dealing with foreclosure and divorce. Terrance Picard is the most popular of those candidates, but he is an idealist with no experience in politics." Luca Bentusi said as he lead the two men into the abandoned hotel, the rotten floor boards creaking with every footstep. "If you are wondering why we brought you here, this ought to answer your question." Luca said as he kicked down the door to one of the rooms, revealing a crippled and malformed corpse wearing a torn up hoodie, the Ming Devils insignia on the back covered in dry blood. "I caught this fucker trying to pay some Ronin to kill you. I have been beating him like a rented mule for 3 days, but the only thing he said during the interrogation said was that he regretted that he was not the one who killed your father. When he refused to elaborate, I let Bronstein test out one of his latest formulas, but all the bastard managed to say before he died from the overdose was that your father screwed with Han Tzu and the lives of his family are forfeit and all that other typical Kung-Fu film bullshit. His voicemail should reveal which Ming Devils enforcer who has been giving him orders. Search any pockets that are still intact, get the phone, and get back to East Village. Me and Bronstein have more important things to do." Luca Bentusi said as he escorted Bronstein to the limo.

Arakawa answered, "Alright let's listen to voicemail recording."

Dr. Bronsteing quickly replied, "Luca and I are leaving now. Probably one of Higgins boys is my guess. I like nothing more to see Higgins dead and his tongue on a platter. My boss Mister Grimes won't like this if this goes south. Han Tzu is out there and will do everything crown himself as the Kingpin of Crime of this city. You will be fine at this hotel till morning. Anything else that Arakawa needs to know? If not I am heading home."

"No. Let's go. It's too dangerous to stay here very long." Luca Bentusi said as he entered the limo. Once Bronstein was alive, the limo headed to the Ingsoc Industries building.

[Odinburgh]

Ingsoc Industries Headquarters

Dr. Bronstein arrived back at Ingsoc where he traveled up the pathway up to the lab entrance. He pulled out a key to unlock and at that moment heard a sound of shotgun firing inside the building. Rushing quickly to unlock he ran inside looking where the gunshot went off. Running down hallways and looking into different rooms he saw a shadow of figure looking to escape the building. Finding himself going into the public men's restrooms he discovered the individual went through the window as it was left opened. He needed to find who he killed which when he turned around a dead body was draped over one of toilet stalls. Dr. Bronstein didn't recognize who this individual was and perhaps his boss Mr. Grimes would know who this is. Then the sirens he began to hear off in the distance grew louder as it came closer.

"You need to get the fuck out of here. The police will be looking for a scapegoat and someone with a criminal record like yourself associating himself with a known Mafioso like myself fits the bill. Ingsoc Industries will throw anyone under the bus to protect its profit margins, especially if there is a feud between the police chief and a scientist that has been providing the criminal underworld with narcotics and splicer serums. If I am caught while keeping you out of Goliath, Comandante Mastodonte will pull the strings to get me placed in a La Famiglia Grande Cesare controlled cellblock on a lighter sentence than I would get if we were both sent to the slammer. We may not be innocent, but the real killer needs to be brought to justice the old fashioned way." Luca Bentusi said as began to walk out of the bathroom, his Tommy gun raised just in case one of the killer's associates was waiting outside the door.

"Then we need to find out who it is before the police do, kill them and dump their bodies far in the ocean.", Dr. Bronstein remarked, as grabbed his briefcase and started leaving quickly away from the Ingsoc Industries building. "Luckily most of my experiments and files on them are stored in a warehouse in the civic center."

"You will have to do this on your own. Whoever can break into a maximum security Ingsoc Industries facility without triggering any alarms would have to be working for someone with the deep pockets needed to make Tom Higgins look the other way. You are going to have to be the one to pull the trigger when you find this fucker." Luca Bentusi to Bronstein said as he exited the bathroom and proceeded down the hall.

[Flarbinia]

"Arakawa. We have a problem. Our boy, Hanzo Hirohito, has been the undefeated champion of the Obsidian Gargoyle City Annual Sumo Tournament for the past ten years. However, the Ming Devils have recently imported some new guy from Shanghai that can potentially end Hanzo's career next week. That would cost a lot of people money, myself included. Killing him would attract a lot of unnecessary attention from the cops during an election year. Stash some of Bronstein's product in the new guy's locker while he is in practicing in the gym, report the contraband to one of the referees, and get out before the police show up. The officials tend to look the other way if the winning team tells them to, so don't worry about caught by the workers." Oda Okinawa said over the phone as he entered the elevator.

"I was just down there a few days ago watching the tournament. Apparently the new guy backed by rich person that is new in town. I have no idea but I bet he is getting paid by Bobby Rich. You know the politician I mentioned that was running for Mayor. Anyways I got the drugs right here and I be gladly to kill his pet monster. Bobby Rich deserves to be exposed for the crooked asshole he is.", Arakawa replied. "Don't worry he is going to get his medicine on time."

"What you saw was a sparring match between Hanzo Hattori and some local deadbeat Bobby Rich loaned to us. My contact at the airport says that the new guy doesn't arrive at the Regalia Sports Tower until tomorrow. He will be in the Ming Devils section of the 38th Floor like everyone else who represents the Ming Devils in the Obsidian Gargoyle City Annual Sumo Tournament. Stick to the plan and don't kill the new guy. Even if my uncle can get the cops off our back, the other bigwigs in the Underworld are gonna retaliate if the truce is broken. Bobby Rich may be a lying two-faced snake in the grass, but he is our lying two-faced snake in the grass and his nomination as Conservative Nationalist Party candidate will allow the Lotus Syndicate to retake control of the CNP from La Famiglia Grande Cesare." Oda Okinawa said before he turned it off, walking towards the room where the important meeting was going to take place.

[Odinburgh]

Arakawa headed to the gym to do his mission. There was only man in the place which was the new guy from Shanghai. The new guy noticed Arakawa but chose to ignore him.

"So you are getting ready for the big match next week against...hmmm...against Hanzo right?", Arakawa replied, to the new guy.

The new guy turned a second to face Arakawa, "Yeah! The name is Miyashita Kazuko. Get lost pal. There is no doubt I am going to win."

[Flarbinia]

"Don't listen to him. He used to be a contender for the title of champion, but he was demoted to sparring partner after some bottom rung pipsqueak mopped the floor with him in last year's tournament. The new guy doesn't arrive for half an hour." The janitor said as he motioned for Arakawa to go outside, giving the Lotus Syndicate hand signals for "meet me in the locker room" and "I know which locker the new guy is going to use" and "hide in my office until new guy is in the gym", the former contender unable to recognize or understand the peculiar movements of the old man's hands.

"I see. That was a different new guy.", Arakawa replied, when soon followed the janitor to the locker room. There was a long row of lockers. Janitor pointed to which locker it was and Arakawa started to tinker with the combination lock. Except Arakawa had bolt cutters that he carried in his backpack and took them to cut off the lock. Also an identical lock to replace the one he broke off. The product of what supposed to be an energy drink engineered by Dr. Bronstein was placed inside. As he shut the locker door and placed the new lock on he turned to the janitor but janitor was gone as he looked around as he spotted the office where the janitor was he scurried to get there as a bright light in the locker room was turned on. Boxers have arrived to begin their workouts.

[Flarbinia]

"Don't worry, boys. He's with me." A referee said as he escorted Arakawa onto the VIP helipad, his smirk turning into a frown of rage. "Are you fucking retarded? If I didn't say you were with me, those boxers would have beaten you to death and the Ming Devils would have found out about your sabotage. I have already called the cops, so you won't have to worry about the last part of the Oda Okinawa's plan. Now get on the helicopter. Bobby Rich had to pull a lot of strings to get this ride and forged a phonebook sized pile of credentials to ensure that the cops won't ask questions if they spot the helicopter." The referee said as he motioned for Arakawa to get on the Apache helicopter.

If I didn't say you were with me, those boxers would have beaten you to death and the Ming Devils would have found out about your sabotage. I have already called the cops, so you won't have to worry about the last part of the Oda Okinawa's plan. Now get on the helicopter. Bobby Rich had to pull a lot of strings to get this ride and forged a phonebook sized pile of credentials to ensure that the cops won't ask questions if they spot the helicopter." The referee said as he motioned for Arakawa to get on the Apache helicopter.

Arakawa hopped inside the helicopter to take a seat. "So where we headed? Gilligan's Island? Just joking. Perhaps you should of considered a B-2 stealth bomber instead of Apache helicopter as mode of transportation. Sure they will spot us in the air. Like even that plane right there I am looking at right now which a few missiles are launching at us right now!" A few missiles whizzed past as it missed the helicopter. A fireball engulfed as plumes went above and dispersed till it disappeared. Arakawa looked at the pilot as they had no idea who fired those missiles. "Looks like someone wants me dead.", Arakawa replied.

Regalia Sport Tower's automated defense grid activated, destroying the missiles and alerting Ingsoc Industries to the assault, the targeting computers trying to analyze the situation. The helicopter kept flying towards the roof of Tokyo Heights. "No gang in the city has that kind of firepower and those missiles are too fast to have been manufactured by Ingsoc Industries. If someone did fire those missiles, they weren't aiming for you." The pilot said as the helicopter reached the border of Ming Devils territory.

"Well it must either be the police or the Obsidian Republican Guard Forces that has that kind of firepower.", Arakawa replied. "Perhaps we should land soon. I feel more comfortable going by foot unless this place lies just outside the city. Just wonder what the heck is going around here. I thought the war ended after the collapse."
