soap opera game, group 5

[In your rooms, you start off on the patio of a different large, fancy family estate house: there is a pitcher of sweet drinks as well as glasses sitting on the patio table, as well as a binder labeled ROLES.

the rest of the neighborhood (and the town beyond the neighborhood) is foggy, indistinct at first, and the exact contents inside the house are misty as well, until you choose your Roles and the props from your role. Once you have selected, the rest of the set takes shape: everything you need (or want) is there, regardless of how ridiculous.]

... Son, didn't I tell you that the shop was off limits after hours? I don't care about how much you like the staff.

[Starts to crack up, catches himself, but can't quite tamp down on the smile]

But daddy, I didn't get my strawberry pineapple banana melon chocolate today!

[Clinging to his arm]

You know I can't live without my strawberry pineapple banana melon chocolate!

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

I can pay for you to go to another shop for that, mijo.

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

No, daddy, I want Nemesis' smoothie. She's got a gift, I can see it in her.

So what if she doesn't have her smoothie license yet? Since when have you cared about the law?

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

That's exactly what I worried you'd say.

But, it's about time I introduced you to the real family business.

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

But daddy dearest... can't it wait just five minutes? Five teeny tiny eensy teensy little minutes?

You know I learn much better after I've had chocolate.

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

Unfortunately, we don't have time.

[that is when the burly man with no neck shows up-- carrying a large suitcase of money with ~money~ conspicuously sticking out of it.]

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh, boo. Eduardo? I've known Eduardo since I was little.

No smoothie and just the same old bodyguard?

[Just. Scooping the dog out of the bag to casually cram smoothie ingredients and a blender in there, don't mind him,]

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

Eduardo is here for insurance, mijo. We're doing a trade, and we want it to be ehhhh 75% above board.

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

The last thing Eduardo did that was above board was hiring the clown for my third birthday party.

You think I don't know about your side hustle blackmailing XXXtube actresses for a cut of what they make off their views?

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

Oh, that's only one of them.

I also deal in candy.

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

Taffy, or peppermint?

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

Peppermint.

But I have to insist no son of mine goes near peppermint.

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh, daddy dearest, you know my vice of choice is chocolate.

Peppermint is for hobos and police officers pretending to be mafia.

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

Close enough, but--

[AND THEN SOMEONE TOSSES A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AT THE SHOP]

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

Eeeeeeek!

[Clutching the dog to him and diving for cover]

Re: Scene: The Office

[mind_blown]

[THE SHOP IS GOING UP IN FLAMES]

Go out the back! Now, Mijo!

Re: Scene: The Office

[crossmyheartandhope]

But, daddy - what about you?
