VICTORY ROAD: IC INBOX

This is Steven. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[...]

Are you fine with being back here though?
I mean, after so long...

I think so? There were people I missed without even knowing I missed them. I'm glad to see them again. And I do like getting the chance to be a part of the team again, oddly enough. I've found I actually rather enjoy planning jobs, especially when I have a team with me, and I didn't really have anything like that at home, where I mostly work alone. The only time I'm not pursuing a target solo is during the Hunt of the Leaves, but that's traditionally a free-for-all, so it's not like I'd have a team then either.

[He's... not sure what the Hunt of the Leaves is, but with the amount of revelations he's had in this conversation, he's not sure if he wants to ASK, either.]

So...
You like being a leader type?

[So, you know, maybe he can just take Important Notes About Coworkers.]

I mean, there's a reason I work so hard to get promoted within this organization, yes.

Though, ah, I don't technically *need* to be the boss in charge. The don, if we're using mafia terms instead of pokemafia. I'm perfectly happy with being a capo or the local equivalent. I just like having a team to work with and people I can rely on with me.

(Despite what fiction would have you believe, there aren't any secret modern day brotherhoods of assassins back home unless you're a vampire--and since the vampires had their quiet apocalypse, there's not even that. There's not even usually two man teams. It's very much a solo job in the 21st century. You might have back-up, but that's different than having someone there with you.)

[He WAS wondering if Steven might be more the "capo" type... but he wasn't sure if using the specific terminology was a good idea. It's not like people here NEED to know what he did back home, so he's better off not saying anything that might raise suspicions...

Anyway, he's about to ask Steven if he likes mafia movies or something, haha, when he starts talking about fucking VAMPIRES.]

I didn't think assassin brotherhoods were real or anything, no

[HOW DOES HE PROCESS THIS]

Neither did I until a few years ago. Or, well, at least not since the 13th century.

And I suppose that since the vampires are gone, they aren't again.

Nobody tell Ubisoft.

Who?????

They did a video game series about being a part of a secret brotherhood of assassins. Only the first game had any historical basis outside the occult.

It might be after your time. I'm from 2022.
