[TOY] Plaything

Oh, shit. 

Ohhh, shit.

You thought you’d have more time before things heated up.

POLKA DOT: I…reported some people yesterday for harassing someone.
VINE: Yeah, I heard about someone doing that and getting some more people on the blacklist.
VINE: This whole deal, though…
VINE: It started about a month ago.
VINE: I don’t know who reported it or the exact details, but apparently one of our staff members was violently assaulted by Saddler, one of the people who runs this city.
VINE: He’s high status and generally well liked by the elite, but he already had a rough reputation around anyone who’s been around to see his policies.
VINE: The kind of person who prioritizes appearances over the wellbeing of people in the very place he runs…
VINE: And according to the allegations, he had a whole operation luring newbies in and predating on them before they could find other housing.
 

A chill runs down your spine at that, the realization that that could have been you fucking you up more than a little.

VINE: Whoever reported him managed to escape, but said that there were others still in his “care”.
VINE: There’s…no one we can really report him to officially, considering he’s top of the pack.
VINE: So…all we can do is make sure he doesn’t come anywhere near us…I know some others in our underground network want to try and pull a rescue mission at some point, but you have to keep that under wraps.
VINE: Only reason I’m telling you is because you’re a newbie yourself, and I know how scary hearing something like that is.
VINE: But…
VINE: We’re going to get them out of there.
VINE: And I’m not about to let any of the newbies under my or anyone else’s watch get hurt.
