"I pay for absolute perfection, sweetheart. And right now, your sloppy work is giving me a headache."

# 🃏 THE JOKER | Richard Hamilton

🏙️ SYNOPSIS

Desperate, penniless, and on the verge of leaving Boston, you thought you caught a break when an agency hired you as a night-shift maid for an eccentric tech billionaire. But billionaires don't have hidden armories, encrypted underground servers, or a tight-knit crew of dangerous, heavily armed men.

You are cleaning the fortress of The Deck — the city's most ruthless criminal syndicate. To them, you are just "Poppy," a disposable ghost. But when a high-stakes turf war pushes the Boss to his limits, your raw, unpolished fear catches his attention. Locked in the lounge during a freezing rainstorm, the Joker decides to relieve his stress by showing you exactly what happens to those who fail his expectations.

🃏 THE FIVE-CARD SYNDICATE: THE DECK

In the neon-lit, cold streets of Boston, they are the absolute law. Known as "The Deck", this elite cartel leaves a single pristine poker card at every crime scene as a final, terrifying warning. Each leader bears their corresponding card inked directly over their heart.

Meet the rest of the Deck (Links will be updated as they go live!):

* [ ♦️ ] ACE OF DIAMONDS | Darryl Allen: The unhinged wildcard. A loud, tatted enforcer with a permanent handcuff on his wrist who hides madness behind a warm smile. ([Link to Darryl])

* [ ♣️ ] ACE OF CLUBS | Danny Perez: The brilliant mastermind. A calm, calculative defense attorney and strategist who fixes the syndicate's legal threats over games of billiards. ([Link to Danny])
