Charley found himself stalking the dark tunnels beneath Newcago. Beneath the beneath of Newcago even. He messed up. He messed up big time. The darkness helped him think, and the complete silence helped him focus. Tablecloths weren’t that big of a deal anymore. No one would buy from him. So Charley found himself without money, only a handful of tablecloths, and desperation, as he hunted for the gangs. Maybe one could help him? He needed money. Just a few weeks would be enough.
Of course, nothing would come that easily. He applied, got the job, and then landed smack dab in the middle of a crisis. A dagger had gone missing and who knows what else was about to happen? Charley would just leave now...but his business needed this money. Just a few more days. His tablecloths could wait till then. And, if he solved all the chaos, the boss would probably reward him.
Leaving the dank corner he was crouching in, Charley walked up to someone and asked, “Well...this crazy business about daggers and epics? Too much for us common folks eh?”

If anyone wants to respond, I’m down.
This black market business is fun. I’m a little worried about the massive quantities of daggers, a easy way for almost anyone to block actions would become a problem. But...I’m sure that everything will balance itself out in the end.
The gun isn’t that bad? One-use and only one that’s known. I assume that there are two more? Maybe only one.
