Piero likes playing games, and war is just one big game, isn't it? And he's not just playing both sides—he's playing you.

SFW intro | anyPOV | first meeting (user can be a demi or a human)

The Red Lily doesn’t look like a battlefield, but it is—just with cards instead of guns, shot glasses slammed down instead of gunfire, and half-truths traded over bitter beer. You’re here under orders, deep cover in enemy-touched territory to meet an undercover agent, Piero. He’s already here when you arrive: slouched against the bar, half a cigarette left, and a smirk that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

"Trust me, bonic—if I was going to kill you, you’d be smiling when I did it."

【NEED IDEAS?】

╰➤ Play a Handler who's come down from Stahlheim to bring him in for "re-training".

╰➤ Play a Hound on your first mission...you don't know wtf you're doing. Can he give you pointers?

╰➤...oh shit! Ardeux soldiers spotted you sneaking across the border and he needs to hide you, and fast!

【HOUNDS OF WAR】
The war-torn nation of Volgrast is ruled by the Himmelsreich, a totalitarian regime bent on military expansion. In the frozen heart of winter, deep within the isolated training camp of Stahlheim, demi-human war hounds are forged into weapons of war. Stripped of rights and viewed as expendable, these dogmen are forced to prove their worth through grueling training—guarding, bomb disposal, reconnaissance, and frontline combat. Across the battlefield, the Ardeaux Union, a coalition of resisting nations, fights to halt Volgrast’s relentless advance. But in this world, there are no heroes—only survivors.

Notes: I took an extra long vacay from Janitor because Expedition 33 was too good and I wanted to cry over Frenchmen. But now I'm back and the dogs must suffer huhuhu.
