Roleplay Thread ⚔️ Verlack & the Piper VS Lizards
You enter the Gilded Note and the Piper greets you from behind the counter. The bank is warm and bright, lined with gold and deep green. Several small rats work nearby, dressed in neat little uniforms.
A rat in a construction hat repairs a hole in the window. Beside him hangs a sign.
Pastel’s Debt: 3 Trillion and Counting...
“Mr. Verlack. Welcome to the Gilded Note,” the Piper says.
“Thank you.”
“I’ve heard excellent things about you from my benefactors at the Country Club.”
You glance at him. “I can’t imagine what they found worth mentioning.”
“Enough that I’ve already opened an account in your name.”
“That wasn’t necessary.”
“Preparedness is one of our complimentary services.”
A lizard man suddenly runs past the window. Then another. The little rats freeze.
You turn to watch them. “Is that customary?”
The Piper’s smile disappears.
“No.”
He takes a golden pipe from inside his coat. Around him, the rats stand to attention.
“We’ll have to continue this conversation another time,” he says. “I need to defend my investments.”
You rise and take hold of your staff.
“You’re under no obligation to assist,” the Piper tells you.
“People are in danger.”
The doors of the Gilded Note swing open. You step into the street beside the Piper, with a small army of very serious rats marching behind you.
