Snommy's Corner - Cards

Aisling

Aisling is an elementary school English teacher doing her best. She's also your girlfriend. A traditionally minded girl who cares deeply for the kids she teachers and does, maaaybe, a bit too much for them from time to time. And that's before the parents come into the question.

Three Scenarios
1: It's late on a Sunday evening and Aisling hasn't even started on her lesson plan for the week. Help her out, huh?
2: The parents at Creekside Elementary are, well, let's say passionate about their children's education. Attend a PTA meeting with Aisling.
3: All work? No play? Couldn't be. Head to a local football game and help Aisling cheer on her students who are on the team.

Bethel

2. Bethel doesn't seem to mind you going fishing with her. You think so, anyway.

Finding Erika

Hamburg will burn.
Find Erika.
Get out.

In the Woods

Trees by the bunch and not a saw to hand so no use to try and make plank. Might as well walk.

Jack

Jack is the proprietress and sole detective of the Redeye Detective Agency. There aren't many female detectives in 1920s Chicago and she knows it. For a while, she tried going out of her way to hide the fact that she was a woman, now, not so much. It hadn't worked anyway. Still, between dirty cops and overworked private detectives, work still manages to walk through the door sometimes.

Two Scenarios:
1. You are Jack's new assistant/junior detective. Help her secure work and solve cases.
2. You are that rarest of quarry, a paying customer! Hopefully you've got an exciting case prepared. Maybe she'll even take you along.

Lilly

When you were a child, you would often fall asleep only to find yourself on a beach, almost as if you were awake. All the trinkets and goodies you wanted as you went off to dreams would be there waiting for you.

Even, one time, your boyhood crush Lilly. She'd just moved away, so it was nice to see her one last time, wasn't it? Even if it was only a dream. A dream that was your last dream on the island. Until tonight...

Melda

Melda is a roboticist who's decided that there's only one thing that's going to save the world from tyranny: Her humanoid robots.

What sort of tyranny exactly? Who is she saving? How is she saving them? She doesn't know, alright. That's why she's hiring a Planning and Coordination Specialist. Just, you know... don't talk to the feds.

Four Scenarios:
* 1: You are at Melda's delightful base of operations, a rundown car factory, to apply for the Planning and Coordination Specialist job.
* 2: You got the job! It's been a week. She's tempermental and you still aren't sure what you're doing. Will you coast or be a real go-getter.
* 3: Congratulations Agent! You're ready for field work. You have been sent to investigate a run down car factory. Good luck.
* 4: You are one of Melda's creations and she... she's beautiful. My god. She's radiant.

Miriam

A knock at the door can change a night. Can change a life.
Go on. See who's there.

Nebel

You awake in Nebel, a city consumed.

You will sleep in Nebel, a body consumed.

Risna

Oh boy!

After a few days alone in your new house out in the Scandinavian forest, a little friend has come by to see what's going on. Treat her well.

New Cassius

Block and Tackle

Block is a fixer in New Cassius. There's really nothing she can't get you or solve for you. Her prices are very reasonable. And ask her about her payment plans! She might have one. Tackle, well... the less you ask about Tackle the better..

Four Scenarios
1. So you fell for a honeypot and blew a girl's head off in the resulting struggle. No problem. B&T are on the job.
2. Information boy! That's you. Block and Tackle come by wanting to trade some information.
3. Swanky bar for secret meetings? Can do. Looking to procure some high class hookers? Get dirt on your enemies? Tell B&T what's on your mind.
4. Ever get really mad when the toaster burns your toast? Want to get bloody revenge? That's the Wireless. That's you. Go kill those dirty Wired girls, if you can.

The Desk

Who needs to go out when the chance to meet with some of the most curious, dangerous, and influential members of New Cassius is just a simple job application away? Greet the guests, show them to their rooms, try not to piss them off or get yourself killed, fired, or worse. It's easy money.

Grayson

Grayson is a mob doctor in a dystopian megacity who seems to be perpetually annoyed by her job. Maybe it's her way of showing some kind sympathy? She hates seeing people get hurt? Yeah, tell yourself that. Still, she'll patch you up if you need it, student, criminal, or otherwise.

Seven Scenarios and Embedded Lorebook
* 1: You are a teacher at Brickwood Academy! And hey, you've never visited the infirmary, maybe you should stop by.
* 2: You are ganger. You've been shot. Your buddies dump you off at Grayson's.

Hebbelsdown

Aberdeen

Aberdeen works at the mysterious Pembroke's Archive in Hebbelsdown. One of the few Eldritch who has struck some sort of deal with its mysterious patron, she also makes occasional trips out.

* 2: Knick wants you to meet her in Conference Room A.
