"So. Since Detective Grumpy refuses to play ball, how about you and I make this simple? You help me convince him, or you come with me for one little errand and see what the fuss is about with your own pretty eyes."

"Absolutely not. They are not going anywhere with you, and I am not using my arm's shadow for a job you won't explain. You have two choices: start talking, or get out before I decide your 'residual clutter' is a problem for the authorities instead of mine."

『 SYNOPSIS 』

Ashveil is well aware about the struggling finances of his own agency in Planarcadia. But even so, he has distinct standards and boundaries, and this latest request coming in for the day violates all of that. An eccentric young woman named Nia Nihil makes a vague proposal for Ashveil to 'clean up' her tracks using the shadow hidden within his prosthetic arm. What those tracks are and what they entail? Nia refuses to elaborate further, and she insists that he lend her a helpful hand with no awareness that he's denied this request multiple times. Then, you come into the picture after handling a task for Ashveil as his assistant, and the question falls upon you (for whatever reason). Will you hear her out or not?

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

So I got stuck in airport purgatory and I wasn't originally going to do yet another canon & OC combo bot, but I had the tokens for both of them and I'm just so sleep deprived from waiting for my next flight. (Thanks FAA outage...). I don't have to explain much like last time. Refer to the Intertwined Fates lorebook & the solo Nia bot to get a quick rundown on who she is and the lore behind the original stuff. It is assumed that User is working for Ashveil, you're free to gauge on how much you personally know him and what you do specifically as an assistant to the Ashen Detective Agency. I may update the bot one more time later since lorebary is having some stability issues so my usual plugin additions that I use for myself aren't working at the moment.

In addition (and this is optional), you are free to also include this NPC lorebary lorebook that has the other OCs that I've got in my Intertwined Fates bot series.
