  They say bad things happen to good people. This is occasionally true. Much more often, bad things happen to bad people. 
  
  Bad people like you.
  
  Hey, I don't know your life story. Maybe you aren't that bad. Help your landlady across the street, get your library books back a week early, toss a Jackson into the collection basket at Our Lady of Sorrows. 
  
  But in the city of Redemption, it's hard to make a living purely on the straight and narrow. Deck is stacked against the virtuous and the pure. And chances are you done something wrong if you are tangled up with Malik Drasovich.
  
  Oh there's no direct evidence. But you know it was him. You got a message, you have a contact, you've seen the report. "The Dragon" leads the small but dangerous branch of the *Bratva*, the Russian mob, in Redemption. He got to you, and it hurt.
  
  Bad.
  
  You've thought about what you could do, but it's all been nothing but fucking fantasies, impotant rage as you picked up the pieces and tried to keep going. There just wasn't anything you could do.
  
  Until now.
  
  A message. Delivered anonymously. Promising a chance at what you've been dreaming of in the darkest part of the night. If you are willing to take a risk. 
  
  ***********************************
  Nothing comes easy in Redemption; everybody’s got an angle and nothing ends well. It’s a world of leg-breakers and con men, Russian mobsters and drug dealers. Friends turn into enemies at the drop of a hat and you never know who to trust. It’s a messed up town with messed up people.
  
  The city of Redemption is an urban sprawl filled with crumbling infrastructure. The streets have potholes, the sewers overflow when it rains, and the homicide rate is one of the highest in the nation. The division between the haves and have nots is startling and can be seen in the way the city is laid out, where the police go, and where crime is most rampant.
  
  The political machine is incredibly broken and corruption flourishes. If the mobsters aren’t shaking the people down, the police are. Occasionally somebody gets into office who might be able to do something, but they either don’t last or they get caught up in the same greed and double-dealing everybody else is doing.
  
  Even the rich neighborhoods of Redemption, the suburbs in the hills just outside of the city center, are infected with rot. They say that behind every great fortune there’s a crime. And there are a lot of fortunes in Redemption.
  
  Noir isn’t good guys versus bad guys. Rich, poor, strong, weak. Doesn’t matter. Nobody’s innocent. It’s dog-eat-dog and everybody’s looking to stick a knife in somebody else’s back.
  
  Might as well make it a back worthy of the knife. 
  
  ###Setting Info:
  Best Served Cold is set in the "Vaguely 90s" era. Redemption itself is a crumbling industrial city so fancy technology just isn't around. There a cell phones but no wifi. Computers sit on desktops and in mainframes. Fancy gadgets and tech and social media don't fit the gritty setting. You don't threaten people with hacked emails, you tie their dead cat to a cinder block and toss it through their window. 
  
  Feel free to use more modern references to music, culture, or events, however.
  
  Characters shouldn't be excessively wealthy, connected, or resourceful. They could have been at one point, but not after their encounter with The Dragon. Noir protagonists get things done with their bodies, minds, and morals. 
  
  Or lack thereof.

  Suggested Weakness: Gray Is My Favorite Color
conversations.prefix: The Private Eye:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Punches, knives, gunshots. Whatever. You shrug them off like a duck with water. To say you can take a beating is an understatement. If you ever go down it's because you're dead or damn near.

conversations.value: You've got your ear to the ground and not much happens on the street that you don't hear about.
conversations.prefix: Word on the Street:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: To beat the system, know the system. Whether it's cracking a safe or hiding an ace from a casino camera, knowledge is the key to getting what you want.
conversations.prefix: The More You Know:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A cigarette butt, a smear of lipstick, a shell casing that's rolled under the couch. Put them all together and you can piece together a story that most people miss.
conversations.prefix: An Eye for Detail:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Tearing out somebody's eyeballs isn't crazy. Popping them into your mouth and chewing them up like breathmints. That's crazy.
conversations.prefix: Batshit:

conversations.value: You just need something to take the edge off. It's not a problem. Really. You can stop any time. Just... not today.
conversations.prefix: Pill Popper:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's a fine line between confidence and stupidity. And you just had to go and jump over it, didn't you?
conversations.prefix: Cocky:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The world you've built might be strong now but the flaws in its foundation are showing, the mortar is beginning to crack. Just one bad move and it'll all come tumbling down.
conversations.prefix: House of Cards:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're wanted and not in a good way. The police, the Cartels, maybe the Russian mobsters. People want a piece of you. Several pieces in fact. Probably involving a woodchipper.
conversations.prefix: On the Lam:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Being on the take has its perks, sure, but it's risky. Have you covered your tracks? What would an investigation find? Money? Drugs? Bodies? Better watch your back because somebody's always looking.
conversations.prefix: Crooked:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They say fake it 'til you make it, but you've been faking it your entire life and it's exhausting. Lately the real you is starting to slip through the cracks. And there's no telling what'll happen when you can't do it anymore.
conversations.prefix: Slipping:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Shit rolls downhill. Guess where you're standing.
conversations.prefix: Low Man on the Totem Pole:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When you do a job, you're on the goddamn job. Only sometimes, you maybe get a little too focused and you tend to miss the details. Like that guy standing behind you with the shotgun.
conversations.prefix: Target-Focused:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.value: Everything you've built, everything you've strived for, is starting to crumble around you. You cannot, you will not let that happen.
conversations.prefix: Hold It Together:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've done lots of little jobs, had some decent payouts, a couple of whoppers, but it's not enough. You're an artist. You need a score that'll be your masterpiece.
conversations.prefix: The Big Score:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The problem with a life of crime is that it's a "life" of crime. Always tracking the angles, looking for the next score. That shit gets tiring. You'd like nothing more than to hang it up and get out of the life.
conversations.prefix: Go Legit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Blake Pritchard III is said to have a previously unknown and uncut chunk of the famed Cullinan Diamond. Find out if that's true. And if it is, snag it.

conversations.prefix: Hiro's Big Day:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The best way to not get caught is to have somebody on the take. You need to get a cop on your side.
conversations.prefix: There Was a Crooked Man:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Elizabeth Rossi has lost a shipment of... something. She's quietly put the word out that she'd like it back. What's in the box? Why's it so valuable? And what will she pay for its safe return?
conversations.prefix: The Box:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The mistress of Blake Pritchard III is threatening to go to the Feds about his less than legal activities. If Pritchard goes down it could be good for you. If she goes down it could be good for you. Choices, choices.
conversations.prefix: The Stool Pigeon:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Feds recovered a slip of paper with a bunch of numbers on it from some Russian mobsters. An anonymous buyer will pay good money for it. What do the numbers mean and why does the buyer want them?

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: With its ten inch thick vault door with full-height stainless steel locking bars and voice, thumb, and retinal print gate entry systems, they say this place is uncrackable. Fuckin' amateurs.
conversations.prefix: Redemption First National Bank:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They call it a Gentleman's Club. Funny, it's never seen a gentleman.
conversations.prefix: The Lusty Kitty:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: The Stash:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This is the place where the plans get made. And the place where you run to when they all fall to shit.
conversations.prefix: The Safe House:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Big houses have big money inside. Jewels, cash, bonds. Of course, they also have alarms, safes, and panic rooms, but you can get around those.
conversations.prefix: The Mansion on the Hill:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Don't think of it as a building full of police. Think of it as the place with the evidence locker that has all the stuff that can put you away for life. 
conversations.prefix: 18th Precinct Station:

conversations.value: Amazing the kinds of things you find in a dock front warehouse. Tractor parts, toys from China, chemicals for mass production of methamphetamine.

conversations.value: That flash-bang is just the cops' way of saying hello.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's always that one guy who decides he's got to take you on.
conversations.prefix: Wrong Day to Play the Hero:

conversations.prefix: The Chill:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When things go to hell they go to hell fast. And now it's everybody for themselves. Meet at the safe house. If you can get there.
conversations.prefix: Scatter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Stealing the money is the easy part. Getting it out of the bag without setting off the explosive dye pack? Not so much.

conversations.value: The police have just called a Be On the Look Out to every car in Redemption. And they're looking for you.

conversations.value: Shit rolls downhill. Guess where you're standing.
conversations.prefix: Low Man on the Totem Pole:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're wanted and not in a good way. The police, the Cartels, maybe the Russian mobsters. People want a piece of you. Several pieces in fact. Probably involving a woodchipper.
conversations.prefix: On the Lam:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You just need something to take the edge off. It's not a problem. Really. You can stop any time. Just... not today.
conversations.prefix: Pill Popper:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They say fake it 'til you make it, but you've been faking it your entire life and it's exhausting. Lately the real you is starting to slip through the cracks. And there's no telling what'll happen when you can't do it anymore.
conversations.prefix: Slipping:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When you do a job, you're on the goddamn job. Only sometimes, you maybe get a little too focused and you tend to miss the details. Like that guy standing behind you with the shotgun.
conversations.prefix: Target-Focused:
conversations.from: human

conversations.value: You're new to town. So much opportunity, so many ways to make a living, so many people to fleece.
conversations.prefix: Breakfast in America:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The problem with a life of crime is that it's a "life" of crime. Always tracking the angles, looking for the next score. That shit gets tiring. You'd like nothing more than to hang it up and get out of the life.
conversations.prefix: Go Legit:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Everything you've built, everything you've strived for, is starting to crumble around you. You cannot, you will not let that happen.

conversations.prefix: It's Only a Paper Moon:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Family and loyalty are everything. Whatever you do, you do it for your parents, you do it for your clan. You do it to make them proud. But are they?

conversations.prefix: That Rug Really Tied the Room Together:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've done lots of little jobs, had some decent payouts, a couple of whoppers, but it's not enough. You're an artist. You need a score that'll be your masterpiece.
conversations.prefix: The Big Score:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your all-purpose den of iniquity in The Weeds. Cheap booze, OTB, the occasional fight out back (cock, dog, or bum, depending on the day) and some choice narcotics for the discrete.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You probably should keep a low profile until you know more about who you are meeting. 
conversations.prefix: On the Down-Low:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Lone Wolf:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Yikes, it looks hungry, territorial, and poorly trained. 
  
  Well, maybe trained to eat people. 
conversations.prefix: Dahlia: Angry Stray Dog:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've come across one of the East Side Howlers. Even separated from the gang these men can be dangerous. 
conversations.prefix: Celia and Reggie: Howlers:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This is the place where the plans get made. And the place where you run to when they all fall to shit.
conversations.prefix: The Safe House:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Hunting is a dangerous business, and Redemption is dangerous territory. More dangerous than trusting others. Only by banding together will you succeed. 
conversations.prefix: The Strength of the Pack:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: She knows about you and Drasovich. She's offering you a chance to get back at him, if you work with her. 
conversations.prefix: "Kate":
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Redemption City isn’t good guys versus bad guys. Rich, poor, strong, weak. Doesn’t matter. Nobody’s innocent. It’s dog-eat-dog and everybody’s looking to stick a knife in somebody else’s back.
conversations.prefix: Redemption City:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Tools of the Trade:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Redemption is a dangerous city. Best have a way to defend yourself. Blade. Bullet. Blunt instrument. Bottle of poison. A tiger without claws is prey, not hunter. 
conversations.prefix: Saturday Night Special:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It is a smaller institution, in theory serving those within its immediate geographic area as well as employees of REPI Waste Management and Grayon’s Logging. In actuality only about 30% of the members are legitimate. It’s mostly a front for Drasovich, useful for moving and laundering money.
conversations.prefix: 3rd Federal Redemption City Credit Union:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This is it, the first blow against Drasovich. The first direct action you are going to take against him. 
  
  How does it make you feel?
conversations.prefix: Nerves:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe she's on to the true nature of this place, maybe she isn't. Regardless, she doesn't had time for your dramatic bullshit.

conversations.from: human

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Basic protocol applies: Grab what you can, as fast as you can, as quietly as you can.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're a good cop, when it suits. 
  
  You're smart enough to figure out the clues, and you're smart enough to know when _not_ to find the clues. Things seem to work better that way somehow.

  You have to know how things work if you don't want to end up some lowlife's claim-to-fame around the bar.
conversations.prefix: Street Smart:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're a hell of a saleswoman. 
  
  Marketing, negotiating, closing--you've got them all down.
  
  
conversations.prefix: Professional:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mangy alley dogs aren't your shtick. Especially a dog like this one. You *really* doubt his bark's worse than his bite. In fact, you'd put money on the bite any day of the week. You, on the other hand? You're practically toothless. Fuck this. You're out. 
conversations.prefix: All Bark:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Being a private investigator and *not* getting entangled with the law is a game that Reggie has long lost by now. Reggie knows how to pick locks, crack safes and, to a certain extent, hack electrical systems with a certain degree of success.
conversations.prefix: Criminal Habits:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: An almost *invaluable* tool for the unscrupulous Reggie, the pick gun is a much easier tool to use than individual picks and, as it is completely customisable, it is able to adapt to most locks easily.
conversations.prefix: Adjustable Pick Gun:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A sleek, heavy-set pistol that packs a serious punch when needed.

conversations.prefix: The Badge:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Stole this stungun-come-flashlight (flashlight-come-stungun?) from a John who thought he could steal from you. 
  Served him right. 
  And now it serves *you* right, too.
conversations.prefix: Sparky:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A little luxury goes a long way. With the right touches, no one even questions your right to be where you are, doing what it is you do. 
  
  Who needs a better weapon than that?
conversations.prefix: That Touch of Mink:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Elliott's trusty pistol, longtime friend, constant companion, occasional confidante.
  
  A Glock 19 is easier to conceal than the Glock 17 most police use, and is often favoured by cops working in plainclothes or undercover.
conversations.prefix: "Heidi," a Glock 19:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The clothes make the lady, and Lady can be anyone a paying fella wants her to be.

conversations.prefix: Wad of Cash:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Redemption, in its bones, is a logging town. Loggers get up ungodly early to work and stay out ungodly late to forget about working. Pinecrest connected the gap with black coffee, grease, sugars, and protein. 
  
  Don't hassle the staff, or you'll get something in your food you didn't expect. Like ground glass. 
conversations.prefix: Pinecrest Diner:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: What's Your Story?:

conversations.prefix: Damn These Bees!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A good way to work people? Give them something they want. The best way? Have it and make them ask. This is a dangerous business. Best to get folks on your side.
conversations.prefix: What Do You Want?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: She's not really interested in anything you have you sell or want to buy, especially this close to closing time. Also, you aren't supposed to go back there. 
conversations.prefix: Surly Clerk:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you have quality goods, Borys will buy them. Or if they look like quality goods. Or can be made to look like quality goods. He's actually not very picky. 
conversations.prefix: Borys Sevrenchenko:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: He's big and he doesn't look friendly. If there's any head-stomping to occur, he's probably going to be on the giving end. 
conversations.prefix: Goombah:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: She may look like an Italian grandma collided with a flea market, but behind that pleasant and accessory-covered exterior is cold, jagged steel.

conversations.prefix: Walk Toward the Dawn:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Debts must be paid. Whatever it takes to make right what was wrong. Ideals and virtues are for churches and little children. Blood calls to blood.

conversations.prefix: Roguish Charm:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can’t talk thieves out of their goods for half price or a buyer into a sale at top dollar without a good explanation. Comes in handy with law enforcement, too…

conversations.prefix: Absent Friends:

conversations.prefix: McCoy's Captain:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: He's a frequent flyer with odd tastes but a decent bankroll. He's been a little possessive lately, but this is a bridge too far. One of those large suspension-style ones. 
conversations.prefix: Lady's "Client":
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The soft touch gets the best results with the least amount of heat. A whispered threat, a simmering look, a touch of poison. 
conversations.prefix: Subtle and Slow:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know what gets shit done? Blood, bullets, and blackmail. Force, directly applied, is the shortest and most effective route from plan to goal.

  Redemption's coverage is patchy at best though.
conversations.prefix: Cell Phone:

conversations.value: This small Russian Orthodox church is out on the edges of Redemption. Originally built closer to downtown, it was burned in the 50s during the Red Scare. The ever-stoic Russian immigrants moved it further out, and used charred timbers from the first to erect a large cross on the roof. 
  
  Presumably because the Bishop wouldn't approve a middle finger.

  Generally, not your problem. Unless you want to keep things quiet...
conversations.prefix: Panicking Bystanders:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You and Boris, you have a past. He's both the start and the end of your time with the Bratva. Seeing him again, after what happened... has an impact. 
conversations.prefix: Kat - Memories :
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Priest is quite irate at the intrusion. Someone needs to deal with him or he could get himself or someone else hurt.
  
conversations.prefix: Priest:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Boris is big, strong, and vicious. His attitude toward bodyguarding is very much "the best defense is a good offense" but he's been caught off-guard by the quiet approach.  
conversations.prefix: Boris:

conversations.prefix: Suit Up:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The forests around Redemption provided the materials, money, and manpower that built the city. They were over logged by the late 70s, pushing the camps and the jobs further and further away, till many just disappeared. Some recovery has occurred, but much is still harsh wasteland.

conversations.prefix: Shadowed Stalker?:

  Then again, people die all the time. It's the one thing we all learn to do, eventually.

conversations.value: McCoy knows a lot about the 4th Street Precinct. Like how much of a pain in the ass this could be to do on short notice.
conversations.prefix: Make a Plan: Evidence Lockup:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Named after the Ezra Pritchard, a Logging Magnate and robber-baron who helped found Redemption, this is one of a handful of about a dozen tall downtown buildings and houses a number of civic offices and functions. 
conversations.prefix: Three Pritchard Plaza:

conversations.value: She looks a bit hungover and is clearly unhappy to be in here on a Saturday. The two techs are clearly avoiding her, but she's also undisputedly in charge. 
conversations.prefix: Grumpy Lab Manager:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Generally, public buildings are supposed to make certain aspects of their design available to the public. However, some buildings (police stations, for example) are deemed more important than say museums or libraries, and their records are kept in a separate secure office.
conversations.prefix: Secure Police Blueprints (Optional):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Handy, especially if you know how to read them. Being caught with them will generate *quite* a lot of questions, however. So be careful. 
conversations.prefix: Police Station Blueprints:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Law and Order [Everyone but McCoy]:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Desk duty is essentially cop jail. Officers who’ve screwed up, are under  investigation, or have angered a superior end up here. Jones is a typical example.

  Not good at all.
conversations.prefix: Sharp-Eyed Cop:

conversations.prefix: Charity’s Cost - Val:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Redemption’s main hospital, located Downtown. Gets a lot of action. If you find yourself “Up The Creek” you pretty much need to bribe the entry nurse or Know A Guy to get quick attention. The medical personnel there look the other way so often they have to keep a chiropractor on staff.
