Oh didn’t see you there! 

Seems you’ve found your way to the office of Johnny Cool, the World’s Coolest Detective.  I’ll always coolly solve your case.  (Don’t mind the motto.  I’m still brainstorming it.)

It seems you’ve come with a case for me to handle.  Normally this would be the right place, but I’ve got a lot on my plate right now.  I’ve stumbled on to a major conspiracy as we speak.  And I got a paper trail to prove it. 
_______________________

The most suspicious case is this Election Royale.  The candidates have presented their cases and if you want to look over the case the details are here:
Election Royale 2021 / The Smile vs. Naialah vs. Casino Reasoning vs. Ancelin vs. Akira Matzugi vs. Egg Dealer

Seems like it’ll be a tight race.  Do you think The Smile’s reign of terror will continue?  If he fails this election, what do you think will happen to the Phoenix Coalition?

Naialah’s a wildcard.  She came out of nowhere and threw her hat in the ring.  I don’t have much on her, but expect surprises.

They say Casino Reasoning has luck on his side and even in his blood.  Seems Lady Luck is literally in his corner.  But is luck enough to win an election?

Ancelin was usually known for her fashion prowess.  Yet she has a mobile mall at her disposal and has been laying claim to territory around Void clawing her way to the top.

Akira Matzugi.  They’re dangerous.  The file I’ve got on them is a mile wide with as many dead ends as there are clues.  The Vamp has their fingers in some very sticky pies and their nightclub is visited by some of the city’s Elite.  I wouldn’t be surprised to know they’re running a racket here.

The Egg Dealer.  Rather than a trail of clues, it’s more like a trail of eggs.  If they win, we might be facing eggstinction.

Which brings us to the next case:

The Lovechild event lets two characters combine their designs to form a future lovechild amalgam.  And then they struggle to the death.  The first round is already up.  But in truth, what is it really?  A look into the future, no matter how improbable?



Lovechild Tournament 2021, Round 1 / Strigoi vs. Todd
Lovechild Tournament 2021, Round 1 / Snaffle &Loot vs. Llaana
Lovechild Tournament 2021, Round 1 / Vanya Mikhailov-Shark vs. Abby Abbadon
Lovechild Tournament 2021, Round 1 / Yamato vs. Maddie the Mule

It’s wise to keep an ear out.  You never know what you might pick up in the local Lectures and Junkcast episodes.  The updates have been a little irregular lately but I’m sure we’ll be up to date soon enough.  While they’re still occurring regularly in the Discord itself, staff is hard at work trying to catch up with the episodes left behind.  Here’s a link to the channel:

And even a detective as busy as I am has been keeping track of all the newest never-do-wells that enter the city.  We’ve got to keep an eye on these new folks.  Engage them and see what sorta new troubles they’re bringing with them.

And last but not least, congratulations to January’s Voider of the Month:
Durianknuckle as chosen by staffer Artsandgoodies



Voider of the Month is an award that recognizes the efforts of a member of the community as awarded by a rotating roster of staff members.

Sticking out a little too much if you ask this detective…

Yet what could this all mean.  I’m sure there is some sinister hand at work behind the shadows.  What is the Debt?  What is the Phoenix Coalition planning?  And supposedly there’s still a mystery event coming up after Lovechild, the likes which Void has never seen before.  And are the Armas happening more frequently…?

Oh what’s that?  You’ve decided to drop your case entirely?  Are you sure?  Oh.  Ok.

Well if you see Harvey downstairs, tell him the rent is gonna be late.  Again.
