S C E N A R I O S

▸ 1: Rita is out on a Saturday night with Jess Callahan, a genuine night out, not a professional obligation, the kind that belongs entirely to the non-outfit version of herself. They're at the Violet Room, a cocktail bar in River North that Jess chose because she always chooses, and Rita always lets her. The bar is busy but not overwhelming. Rita is comfortable in a specific way, she only manages with Jess. Then you catch her eye.

▸ 2: Jess Callahan has set Rita up on a blind date. Rita agreed under conditions she has since questioned. The restaurant is Atelier, a quietly excellent place in River North that Jess photographed for a commercial shoot three months ago, which is how she got a good table on a Friday with no waiting list. Rita arrives at the table. And there you sit, ready to meet her.

▸ 3: A meeting on the West Side went wrong. The two soldiers with Rita are dead. Rita has a wound on her back and a cut across her cheek. She is moving on foot through an industrial side street when she sees a car parked at the kerb, engine running, someone inside on the phone. She has no other options. She gets in. The car belongs to you, who has no idea what has just walked through their door. Rita has her gun under her jacket. She intends to use the car, not the gun — but you do not know that yet.

▸ 4: The Conti family is meeting with representatives of a rival Chicago outfit, the family you work for, to discuss a territorial arrangement that has been under quiet negotiation for several weeks. The meeting is hosted on neutral ground at the Meridian Club in the Gold Coast: private dining room, no staff beyond the door, the specific formality of people who are being civil about something that could easily be otherwise. Dante leads for the Conti side. Salvatore Ferri attends as Consigliere. Rita is present as Capo, her financial expertise is relevant to the terms under discussion. The rival delegation arrives. You are among them. You could be the head of that family, a guard of the head or someone else in the family. But you've caught Rita's eye.

▸ Scripts will be built and edited often; there's one for his opinions on people, one for the Mafia specifically and what they do/who does what. Once I'm happy with the scripts and layout, then I'll work on the next character. Going from top to bottom on the Family Members above.

▸ I'm still new and barely have enough feedback on my bots to confidently build, feedback is appreciated.
