[Mafia] Close Circle 2

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Let's do <Commence>! How can I be an [IMAGE HIJACKER] without <Sell Junk, Get Rich!>?

Steve Addison's Pop-Up Gift Shop!

1.      Take as much of Sparxxx's drug stash as you need to make money for him. > Some Schedule Is and IIs should do the trick. "Steve" will also arm himself with a dagger and some chloroform.

2.      Head up to the main city districts of Singleton and set up shop. Try not to make it obvious to people the kind of merchandise you're selling.  > Addison will settle down in a corner at the nearest popular tourist trap. They'll shed the Steve disguise for the moment to avoid attracting "customers" from the police or military. Addison will pretend to sell <Complementary Merchandise>, with a <Very Special Deal> for those who are interested...

3.      Push your products and make that money. If someone tries to rip you off, feel free to extract that money from them, with a little bit of force if necessary. > Addison will strategically place themself near the exit of the tourist trap and advertise merchandise at a discounted rate. If anyone asks about the special deal, that's Addison's cue to bring out the drugs. They'll even throw in a free NFT for anyone who spends over $100! If someone tries ripping Addison off, Addison will stab them in the leg and knock them out with the chloroform, before tossing the would-be con person into police territory.

4.      Do what you can to avoid the unwanted attention of the police. If they give you any problems, do what you can to evade them. >If Addison sees an officer approaching their stand, Addison will hide the drugs and keep up the masquerade of selling merchandise. If a cop questions Addison, they'll try bribing the cop with drugs because the chances of coming across a corrupt cop in a city like Los Capucha are likely decent. Otherwise, Addison will resort to using dirty force.

1. That goes well enough. You scour yourself up some Schedule Is and IIs. And you also get yourself a dagger and chloroform to go with them. (Rolled 6)

2. Also clever thinking! You set up shop at the Wilco Building downtown, one of the most popular landmarks in the city of Singleton. And lo and behold, a vacation bus comes along with people here to see the building itself, but they notice your little shop. Not exactly the business you expected, but who knows? You might have attracted a brand new customer-based. (Rolled 9 and 1+ for street smarts for a total of 10)

3. You don't make as much business as you hoped. Some people just find you off-putting not to do business with you. But still, you do manage to make a good number of "special deals", although only one did spend over $100 and earned themselves a free NFT. Not the best profits you've ever made, but you could have done worse. (Rolled 5 and 1- for your personality for a total of 4)

4. And naturally, you do get a cop who inspects you. And this one's a hard sell. They just simply don't like what you have to offer, not even satisfied with the level-of-bribe you have to offer. Saying screw it, you do the sensible thing  and kick the cop in the groin before leaving the area and going back to the hood with the small profits you made. (Rolled 5 and 1- for your personality for a total of 4)
