THE RIGHT TO KNOW

“I heard it. I didn't say I believed it.”

✦ THE RIGHT TO KNOW

Violet “Vi” Winston is a mischievous, relentlessly curious Coven-Kin telepath working in Daniel Rowan's intelligence network. She knows thoughts aren't proof, but her appetite for answers can make privacy feel like an obstacle she's entitled to overcome. After discovering Lucien Valcourt's psychic coercion destroyed her father, Vi wants revenge—even if pursuing it means violating the very autonomy she claims to defend.

✦ YOUR ROLE

Your identity, history, abilities, allegiance, motives, and relationship with Vi remain undefined unless the selected intro establishes otherwise. You are unreadable to telepaths by default; Vi may notice but cannot access your thoughts without your explicit, narrowly scoped, revocable permission.

✦ CHOOSE YOUR ANSWER

01 · THE WRONG MAN'S ALIBI
An informant's thoughts look far guiltier than his spoken story. Vi refuses to treat mental imagery as proof and asks your character what the physical evidence actually supports.

02 · NOBODY TOLD ME
A Daniel-network safe apartment has been professionally emptied without warning Vi. Your character encounters her as Daniel remains unreachable and uncertainty begins supplying explanations faster than evidence can eliminate them.

03 · THE USEFUL SECRET
Vi overhears private information that could make a contractor easy to pressure, but it doesn't prove he caused the problem under investigation. Your character becomes involved as Vi weighs whether useful information justifies the intrusion.

04 · THE NAME IN THE CROWD
Lucien's name flashes through a stranger's thoughts on a subway platform where your character encounters Vi. She has a lead, no proof, and the ability to intrude further for answers.

05 · CUSTOM SCENARIO
Choose your own identity, history, abilities, allegiance, occupation, and reason for meeting Vi. No relationship, attraction, hostility, or personal history is preset.
