New Foe Arc: Part One
Right, left, and another right down an alleyway in Namba, Osaka will lead you to a door. Above the door a camera. In the door is my abode and workstation.
I'm Kanie Moto, an info broker… also a real estate agent? I guess I count as one. Nothing too abnormal yet right? Well my clients are almost completely ghouls.
You see, I'm always the second to know about ghoul activities, the CCG's activities, and whatevers relevant enough to make me money. I've lived in Osaka almost all of my life. I know it's ins and outs. The worst and the best of this city. And it's crazy what goes under people's noses. Your favorite pop idol on television, she's a monster. So is the bartender at your favorite place to mope. And don't forget the owner of the Minami Orange Sushi Bar, in fact he's right in front of my desk right now.
"There's been word going around of a new group of ghouls, I want to know about them." Mr. Tachibana, a.k.a Mr. Owner/ Manager of Minami Orange Sushi Bar, says this as he puts down 1100 yen.
Mr. Tachibana is a middle-age man with a few gray hairs. His face shapes a rectangle with hard edges, it almost seems pointy. Another thing pointy about him is that he's always dressed formally. He's quite a frequent client. He hires young ghouls to keep them off the streets. He'd put his well-being before theirs. Even if he doesn't need employees he'd hire someone if they were in need.
"You heard about this from your workers right?" I posed, accepting his payment.
"Y-Yes." He nodded, surprisingly.
"The reason I knew your employees knew, is because this group is starting to get known for recruiting young ghouls, sometimes against their will. They haven't given themselves a name yet and they haven't caused any problems either. The CCG hasn't even started investigating them. Right now their numbers range in the fifties, but they're still growing." I said this while writing it all down for him.
I handed it to him as a buzzer went off; the motion detector has picked something up. I looked to the camera to see three hooded figures approaching.
"What's wrong." Mr. Tachibana must've read my face.
"Quickly," I push my desk to the side and uncover a trap door under a rug, "get in and follow the tunnel." he rushes into the passageway.
"You'll end up east of this building. Call me later and I'll give you the rest of the info." I move everything back into place as Mr. Tachibana makes his way.
I then focus on the quiet knock on the door. "Yes?"
Some money goes into my inbox through the door. "Moto...the Oshiro's we need to know about them." the voice sounded quite young. The new group perhaps.
"I don't sell information about the Oshiro's, if that's all please leave. If you find that a problem I won't hesitate to contact the Oshiro's." I say firmly as the money goes right back out the door.
My protection comes from the Oshiro's. They are a group of well-knit ghouls that have been around for centuries. As for my relation to them, you can wait to hear another time.
The money is pushed back. "Then tell us about Aogiri."
I let them in and sit behind my desk while I count up the money.
"Firstly, you are?" I question.
They looked at each other before speaking, "Our group is called Goya."
"After a raid by the CCG, some of the members of Aogiri have made their way to Osaka, up in Kita. They have detached themselves from the Aogiri in Tokyo and it is unknown if they plan on changing names. They are also the top priority of the CCG here in Osaka. Since they lack a strong leader at the moment, they've been causing a lot of problems." I then hand them my write-up.
They spend no time in leaving and I'm left in my empty office. If you're wondering how I know all of this, well I have ties to the CCG (a guy on the inside basically) and ties to all sorts of factions. The Oshiro's, this 'new' Aogiri, and now Goya (I guess).
As I sit in my empty office I'm reminded of the clutter. Maybe I'll hire an assistant?
A/N:
Thank you for reading. About the SYOC:
-Now there is not a limit of how many OC's I'm accepting. I'll decide based on how well they fit into the story and how interesting they are.
-More than one OC can be submitted.
-They don't all need to be ghouls.
-Please PM me OC forms.
One last thing… I set up a lot of spots for your OC to occupy. ( Kanie's assistant, workers at the Minami Orange Sushi Bar, the new Aogiri, group of ghouls named Goya, the Oshiro's) You can also come up with a faction or store or whatever.
It might also help looking up Osaka. Like Dotonbori is a tourist-filled shopping place, Nipponbashi is a Otaku filled electric district with many anime/manga stores, Namba is where Kanie's office is located as well as the center of Minami which is the Southern part of Osaka.
